AN EQUINE PARADOX.
Sixty-one Horses Acting at Gne Time Ia
One Ring.


One Ring.
Among the hundreds of star fea-
lures associated with Ringling Bros.
circus this season nothing has at
tracted more attention or excited
more admiring comment than the
marvellous performances of O'Brien q
school of bigh-bred equines. En-
braoed in this equine company are
sixty-one of the handsomest horses
ever seen in circus ring; fact
which all who witness the perfor-
mances of Ringling Brothers circus
when it exhibits in Ardmore Satur-
day, Octobr IA, will be able to attest.
Three features of this great act are
particularly notable; the large num-
Der of horses, the greatest company
OF equines ever trained in this way.
brilliancy and costly magnificence
of the trappings, and the immense
amount of paraphernalia used in the
production. The display is given in
pecially constructed for the act, and
is carried by the show. Instead of
the usual circle of earth, there is a
wooden parapet, the top of which
forms a narrow circular platform en-
closing the arena. In she center of
the ring is a succession of circular
stages, rising like terraces one above
the other, and ending in a lofty
pedestal. The director takes his
station in the arena. A signal is
given, and a handsome thorough
bred, with arched neck and waving
plumes, canters into the ring. This
proud specimen of horseheod, the
matchless charger, "Silver King" "
is the avant courier of sixty beauti-
full equines, gorgeously caparisoned
but unrestrained by rein or bride,
which approach with the whirl and
sweep of cavalry charge. and then
suddenly halting in their mad fight,
line up in solid column, awaiting
with proud impatience the first
orders of their implicitly-obeyed
trainer. The performance that fol-
lows staggers even the evidences of
the senses. The equine actors.
without the slightest hesitation or
prompting, execute the most diff
cult evolutions, dance, piroutte,
form colossal tableaux, and go
through the movements of a difficult
military march. Then a score or
more of the horses take their
places on the parapet of the ring;
others group themselves upon the
circular stages. At the apex is the
shapely "Sily er King. Vaulting up
or the back of this beautiful equine.
and raising the suberb animal until
he seems to be poised in air, the
trainer mods his head. Instantly,
the great company of horses is in
motion. Some run to the right,
others to the left, but without leav-

Beauty is born in the blood.
Beauty is more than ''skin Deep" it
is blood deep. When the blood is
tainted by disease the flesh will feel
it and the skin will show it. Shallow
or muddy compilations, pimples,
blotches, and eruption are only the
surface signs of impure blood. Face
washes, lotions, complexion powders
maXapalliate the evils but they can
not cure the disease. The only cure
is to cleanse the blood of the poison
GUS matter which is the cause
of the outbreak in the flesh
and skin. Impure blood can be ab-
solutely purified by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
Its effect on flesh and skin is
marked. Sores heal and disappear.
The skin becomes smooth, and re-
gains it's natural color. The eyes
brighten and sparkle, the whole
body is radiant with the brightness
and beauty of health. "Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no
alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant,
and is absolutely free from opium,
cocaine and other narcotics. The
use of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
assists the action Of the Discovery"

matter

schoolboys In this section. Tin mills
were built here and across the river then
for the first time full fiedged plants
that made the product from beginning
to end entirely out of American ma
terial with the exception of the
imported tin. Similar establishments
were erected elsewhere and in every
instance prospered. And when the
party of the trusts again resumed con-
troll it was found that the American
tinplate industry had an actual exist
ence, having grown under the Wilson
bill to the proportions of thirty-nine
different bona fide tinplate plants with
capacity of 293 mills. And all of these
plants operated all of the time and were
most prosperous. During the Wilson
bill era the output of American tin
plate reached 193,800,000 pounds in
1895, 100000 pounds in 1896 and
447, 900. 900 pounds in 1897, the last fiscal
year of The Wilson bill
Note the sudden change, however, as
soon as the Republican party bosses
got hold of affairs The policy Of free
tin was wisely continued but the tariff
was inched up notch or two and then
we began to hear of the Tinplate Trust.
Under the auspices of the present trust
administration the Tinplate Trust was
formed and has gobbled 279 of the 293
mills now in existence. Then 1t started
in to gouge the American consumer in
true trust fashion. And in the short
time the monopoly has been in control
of the industry it has raised the price
of tinplate to the American consumer
from $3.50 to $3.50 per box. and we are
now told that the trust is contemplating
another advance in the immediate fut-
ure.
Here are the facts and figures which
tell the whole history of the American
tinplate industry, but the trust organ
lists will continue to be very careful not
to quote them for the benefit of those
benighted people who confine their
newspaper reading to the columns of
the organs.
The part Democracy has played in the
history of this industry is one which
Democrats are proud of. 1t shows that
while the Republican party as now
represented, is the party of trusts and
monopolies that plumber the people, the
Democracy is the party that remains
true to the best interests of legitimate
American industry.

A private in Company H. whose

Malay nature and the way they cherish

According to the prediction of Bos-

the action of electricity or electrolysis
from the trolleys will have so corrod-
ed iron piping as to necessitate the en-
pfoyment of some material in making
these pipes not subject to electric cor
rosion. The serious damage cone water

THE rlNpLArE oRGANIsTs.

1t is fairly good hot weather amuse-
ment to watch the antics of the hypO-
critical organist Of Fourteenth street
and the unwise and incompetent Tin
plate Trust organ, Tin and Terne," OF
Pittsburg, in their wild efforts to dis
credit the cold, hard facts in regard to
the establishment of the tinplate
industry in the United States presented
repeatedly by the Register.
Of course, the organs have their duty
to the trust to perform-that's what
they are in existence for-but their eff
forts to perform that duty and defend
the Tinplate Trust-the most grasping
and conscienceless of all monopolies-
are more amusing than otherwise. For
= they continue butting their poor heads
against the Registers stone wall of in
controvertible facts and official statis-
tics in the most absurd and ridiculous
fashion, the lesser organist of Four
teenth street regularly giving the benefit
of his circulation to the sophistry of the
Pittsburg trust organ, whose latest pit
iful effort, which simply begged the
question, was fully dissected in these
columns yesterday
OF course, it is like Haunting a red rag
at bull to poke at the organs certain
facts and figures relating TO the brief
history OF the American tinplate indus
try from its practical inception and
growth under the Democratic tariff of
ga, which gave it its raw material free,
up to the return of the party of the
trusts~to power and the gobbling of the
industry by the TinDlate Trust. But
the Register must insist on publishing
these facts and figures as long as cur
esteemed trust contemporaries persist
in ignoring them and in their effort
to befog the issue by an irrelevant dis
cussion of technical terms. In this
controversy the Register does not re-
fer to heavy roofing tin or galvanized
sheet iron, or similar products, made
in the United States long before the
present tinplate industry was thought
of. We refer solely to the production
of tinplate ala here are the statistics
Of that production, which our esteemed
contemporaries have never yet dared
TO print. 1t is needless to quote the
small amount of so-called tinplate IN
der the Mckinley bill. for we have
