IslN THrnrY SECTIONS.
Ringing Brothers Grand Circus Pa
 rnde.

rade.
 The famous Ringing Brothers, whose
 Worlds Greatest Shows come to New Haven tomorrow CThursday), June 16,
 have this year revolutionized the circus
 business by inaugurating a magnificent street spectacle, which is presented as
 a free offering to the public on scale of magnitude and grandeur such as no
 amusement management has eyer be- fore attempted. Instead of the conven- tional street parade with which circus
 goers are familiar, Ringling Brothers
 have organized an elaborate carnival, consisting of thirty huge sections, each of which is representative of some dis
 tinct national characteristic or of some age or era in the history of the world
 Among the most striking sections is
 that devoted to India, representing scenes of warfare in the Punjaub, huge elephants harnessed to rumbling siege guns; mounted military escorts; dark hued East Indian chiefs, brilliantly uni formed native military, guides, attend- ants and commanding officers. Then there are correct representations of all the most famous crack military organ izations of the world, brilliantly uni- formed, handsomely mounted and with their furnished accoutrements glitter ing in the sunlight like furnished gold
 and silver. The reproduction of the Derby day is revelation to lovers of
 fine stock and swell turnouts. The
 striking features of7the famous English
 meet are represented by hundreds of leading artists and performers dressed
 in the latest London modes, and giving
 most interesting and imposing repre- sentation of the heavy swelldom of
 English society. The immense tally hos. the spider rigs and dainty Hearts used in this section alone represent a
 magnificent expenditure beyond the reach of any other show in the world,
 while even the great Derby day meet
 itself could not bring together so mag nificent a display of blooded racing stock 3iA
 An Egyptian caravan, crossing the Sahara, with it's camels dromedaries, wiry Arabian horses, Bedouins of the desert, Soudanese, Algerians and other strange people from northern Africa, brings that land of mystic interest close | to the spectators vision. The special 1 childrens section, with It's prancing 1 ponies, childrens tableaux, children's | hippodrome and miniature cages of rare wild beasts is a delight to the younger element. while the glimpses of imperial | splendor given to the ancient Roman section, and the numberless new. novel and startling features in the other sec- | tions, including ten bands of music and | over one hundred tableau cars, dens and open cages of rare wild beasts, all | combine to make this the most remark able display of exhibitional wealth and 1 magnificent originality the world has ever seen. Reserved seats at Mix 8 | drug store.
 | The route of the Ringing Brothers l parade at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning will be as follows: From Elm City park l to Whalley avenue, to Elm street, to State street, to Grand avenue, to St. John street, to Olive street, to Greene street, to Wooster place, to Chapel street, to Park street, to Elm street and | back to the show grounds.

A VTTJATNOTTS ACT

There are Spaniards, or worse than Spaniards, in this city. A. D. Rowland of 14S College street had a fine flag when he went to bed Monday night. It was flying from a balcony over the stoop. Yesterday morning all he could find of it was a strip about three inches wide The rest of it had been cut off just below the first row of stars and carried away. MT. Rowland is very in- dignant over the outrage and feels that even a drunken American boy or man might have had more respect for the flag in time like this.

THE TROTTEYS

There is now trolley connection be- tween New Haven and Bridgeport. This stringing of continuing lines along the route of the Consolidated is what a few years ago steam railroad men were said to be in great fear of. It would be interesting to know how much the event, now that it is here, worries them. It is doubtful if one passenger a week is carried from one of these cities to the other over the trolley Hartford Courant.

New Automatic Pocket Pistol.

The most deadly revolver in the
world has arrived in this country. It
is the invention Of Bergman, the
famous Bavarian maker of small arms.
This new wonder of workmanship is
an automatic pocket pistol, capable OF
discharging six bullets in the aston.
ishing time of two seconds. In an
experimental trial it threw 32-calibre
steel bullet through six-inch hard
wood plank at 800 yards.
The Bergman revolver is SO ad-
iusted that the marksman can fire as
many shots up to six, as he may wish.
He decides before pulling the trigger
how many shots he wants to fire.
The recoil of each shot is not felt by
the marksman, but is ingeniously
utilized by the weapon itself in dis
charging the bullets one after the
other. This weapon is also smokeless.
Chief Lees of San Francisco witnessed
its trial on police target at $50 feet
range. The six steel bullets pene-
trated the target Of chilled steel and
were completely buried in it.-New

REVoLUTIoNIzlNc TRADE.
Discovery Of New Substance Artificial For
Flowers.

Discovery Of New Substance Artificial For
Flowers.
The artificial flower trade, in which
thousands of women and girls are
employed both in London and Paris,
is on the eve of being revolutionized,
so SAYS Cassell's Family Magazine.
Hitherto the petals have been made OF
muslin, silk, satin and even of velvet,
colored after nature and most success
fully manipulated into the semblance
of beautiful blossoms.
A substance has been discovered
for fower-making that puts the most
delicate textile materials ever manu-
featured completely into the shade,
and will probably take their place and
reign supreme for its particular pur-
pose.
It consists of the thinnest of thin
shavings from the inner pitch OF an
Oriental palm that grows in Fornosa,
and can be compared to nothing SO
well, as the almost transparent petal
of white poppy or delicate tea
rose. A lily petal is robust in COM
parison with this marvellous substance,
which has all the sheen and translu-
cence and even the slightly frosted
appearance seen in some white
flowers.
It can be tinted far better than silk
or muslin, and is practically hides
tructible. In wet weather it gives
and falls little limp, just as real
flowers do, but when the sun comes
out it crisps, re-asserts itself and
takes new lease of life and beauty.
So admirably adapted are roses and
carnations made of it for buttonhole
and other bouquets, that when fairly
on the market they will most likely
make considerable difference to the
florists, as the fadeless flowers never
really droop, and will do duty over
and over again.

Electrified Rain in Spain.

Maurice Despres, on electrical en-.
gineer Of Cordova, Spain, reports are
markable shower of electrified rain
which he recently witnessed. The day
had been warm and MINDLESS, and
about o'clock in the evening the sun
was overcast with dense clouds, low
ering to the horizon. Soon after dark
there was fash Of lightning, and two
minutes later great drops of rain fol-,
which cracked family on touching the
ground. From each of them sparks
darted toward the walls, trees and
soil they fell upon. The phenomenon
lasted several seconds, and apparent
and earth became saturated with mois-

staff were partaking Of a scanty noon
day meal, that was served on two
camp tables inside the tent, and
stretched upon the straw and partly
underneath the table wassa man lying
upon his side, with o slouched hat
covering his face. His faded uniform
and rusty stars, his sword and his
.well-worn boots indicated an officer OF
rank, and was wondering what it
meant, when the adjutant left the
table and met me with wave OF his
hand for me to stop where / was. "Make
no noise, please he said, General
Jackson has fallen asleep upon the
straw, and we are dining over him in
silence. He is exhausted and must

away, but turned in my saddle to take
one more view of the impressive scene.

to commemorate the eminent virtues

to commend them to our children and
