The Circus Was Popular.

1t is not only the small boy who is at.
tracted by circus. The gaily painted
wagons, the towering elephants, the restless
Gagged animals, and the clatter Of the circus
band are all sufficiently extraordinary tc
hold the attention even of the man Of the
world. Walter l.. Mains three-ring circus
which visited the city yesterday, furnished
no exceptions to the rule, and doubtless with
many people furnished the sensation of the
week.
Big crowds attended the performances al
the old baseball grounds afternoon and even
ing, and were rewarded by seeing we'll
balanced show. The usual acrobat ieats and
hippodrone races were well sustained, but
the attention of the spectators was monopo-
lized to a great extent by the menagerie,
which embOdies a well assorted collection
of animals, from the elephant to the monkey,
the baby elephant "Dewey" being an espe.
cial iavorite. The show has splendid ar
ray of horses, and, according to the state
ment of the manager, requires an army Of
6O7 men to look after the arrangements In
its several departments Pa, 1eLe-
gram, Augatct 81.
Will exhibit at Rockville on Friday, Oc-
tober 14th, two performances, afternoon and

A Narrow Escape.-On Tuesday last
Mrs. John II. Gassaway, while driving over
a bridge across Seneca creek, about mile
from her home, made an almost miraculous
escape from death or serious injury. She
was driving quiet pony and was accom-.
panied by her small child and colored
servant girl. The bridge, which is about
twelve feet above the stream, has been for
months without side rails, and for the purpose
of repairing 1t a pile of lumber had been IN
loaded near the entrace to the same. When
about mid way the bridge the pony became
frightened at the pile of lumber and began
backing, finally throwing horse, buggy and
occupants into the stream below. Mrs. Gas
saway fell into the water where it was about
four feet deep, while the child and colored
girl became entanged in the buggy top and
landed nearer the shore In shallow water
The mother succeeded IN rescuing her child
and the girl, and at this time two colored
men drove MP and cutting the harness loose
from the pony saved the animal from drown
ing. Mrs. Gassaway, child and nurse sue
ceeded in reaching home in an exhausted
condition, but without serious injury. The
horse was badly cut and bruised, and the
buggy much damaged

Attempted Incendiarism Another
attempt was made at an early hour Tuesday
morning to destroy the railroad station at
Washington Grove. Through the prompt
and energetic work Of Messrs. WEIGH, Peck
Hughes and Foster the station was saved
This is the second attempt that has been
made recently TO fire the station. On the
nth of the present month similar attempt
was made, and the officials of the grove, as
well as the railroad men, prosecuted a dill
gent inquiry without result. The attempt
Tuesday morning Was made about 2 O'Clock.
The building near the baggage room was
on fire when the alarm was given. The
gentlemen subdued the flames on the out
side of the building and then broke into the
station in order to put out the flames inside
When the flames had been subdued Another
blaze about 300 yards away attracted the il
attention. 1t was a wagon, containing two
tons of straw, the property of a neighbor
who was about TO ship the straw. Had the
wind been blowing from the northwest sew
eral freight cars would undoubtedly have
been destroyed.
There seems TO be determined effort on
the part of some one TO destroy the station
Detectives are invest eating the matter.

Mrs. Mckinley Was Once a Student

The good folks of Media. the county seat
OF Delaware county. Pa. pride themselves
on the fact that the wife of the president
of the United States was once a school girl
in their village.
Media is built on an elevation of nearly
BOO feet above the level of the Delaware
river, which is about seven miles dis

mated by the inhabitants of from 1000 to
500. 1t Is a desirable place for schooling.
intimates the Washington Star. and there
are educational institutions in the village
that are known throughout the country.
Another thing that the average Media citi-
zen prides himself on and delights in tell
ing strangers about is the fact that there
has never been a saloon in the place.
More than thirty years ago Mrs. William
mckinley was a student at Brooke Hall
seminary, Media. She was then Ida Say.

young man destined to be president of the
United States and the idol of her affections
Lad returned TO his home in the little town
oil Poland. o., and was beginning the study
of the law and fitting himself for the life
that has been such an illustrious contribu-
ton TO American history. Ida Saxton was
then a girl of IS.
Brooke Hall was at that time and for
many, years after one of the best known
schools for girls. Its reputation extended tn
every state in the Union. and the roll con-
tanned the names of students not only from
The United States. but from foreign coun-
tries. Miss Eastman. the principal for more
than n third of a century. died a few wears

work of the school. but the interest Jagged

she looks. young at 50. says a medical
authority. She undertakes no more than
she can comfortably carry out. and firmly
believes in the coming of another day:
not that she procrastinates, but she simply
will nCN let the domestic machinery grind
her down to Ill health ana early old age.
She is a frequent bather, and regards
health as the prime factor of life. to be
looked after before everything else, though
the breakfast be an hour late. She sleeps
nine hours and takes a nap during the
day at that. She arranges her days work
in the most systematic manner. and her
little memorandum slip always shows two
vacant hours: they are for rest. She eats
heartily, but of the most digestible food.
In the modest home. no matter how lit
tie there may be on the table, there is MOTH

a mouthful of good food and go partly
hungry than eat a whole meal of cheaper
things. She is a true economist. regulates
her expenses carefully. and is a true be-
lever in the allowance system. There are

are others which would make our American
women happier and healthier if they

contributor to various periodicals. taught
herself stenography and typewriting.
Her success in this line may be inferred
from the fact that at Is she was sent

to call general attention toward the un-
assuming and girlish writer.
A severe attack of yellow fever weak
ened her constitution to such an extent

end to this work.
1t is in short story and verse writing
that Miss Watanna finds the work for
which she is best suited. A collection of
her short stories is in a Chicago publish
