 J. M. Goodrich, the we'll known cir. GUS man whose home is in Bridgeport, has met with financial difficulty and his wagon show has stranded at Grafton, W. Va. Goodrich started out five years ago with small pony circus and was very successful and his show grew into 9 good sized ordinary circus. He was very successful this year in New Eng land but made a mistake in going south into the coal regions where there are strikes and general depression of busi- ness. Goodrich has turned his proper ty oyer to West Virginia officer of the Knights of Pythias-of which Goodrich is a member-and they have advanced him enough money for him to open 8 concert hall in Grafton, and his per formers have volunteered to share his fortunes for the winter and start out on Gne IoHu Wltn nim n8aln ln the spring. The first blow to his business came to Goodrich at Thompsonville, Ct. last summer where his wife Miss Clymer) was seriously injured by falling from a trapeze and depriving him of star for most of the season. She was six weeks in the Hartford hospital and much of Goodrich's time was occupied at her bedside until her recovery. Goodrich's show exhibited in Canaan in August, 1896.

Dewey's ForSsight.

"The battle of Manila was won In Hongkong harbor," said Admiral Dew ey to me when first saw him In May, 1898, and heard him describe the great fight. Many times since then heard him repeat the same sentiment, and the more the truth of it is considered the more light it sheds on his charac- ter. While he was brave, strong, prompt and decisive in action, he was thoughtful, cautious, deliberate and sure in preparation.
 Day after day he summoned his cap- tains to discuss all the possibilities and eventualities of a conflict with the enemy. He gave them an oppor- tunity to say when, where and how the battle should be fought. From junior to senior he called upon them to express their opinions freely. If any man had novel idea, it was given careful consideration. If it was an old one with improvements, 1t was viewed in all phases.
 After the admiral had patiently heard his captains and duly interro- gated them, he quietly told them his own exact plan of battle and just what he expected of each man. Whether this was made up originally out of his own ideas or from such In union with the best points advanced by his cap tains, 1t was reached only after thor ough deliberation and was final.-Hon. John Barrett in Harper's Magazine.

The Vaudeville Theater.

Sometimes the vaudeville theater is an individual and Independent enter prise; more often 1t belongs to circuit. The patronage, expenses and receipts are enormous. One circuit will speak for all It has a theater in New York. one in Philadelphia, one in Boston, and one In Providence, and they give no Sunday performances, and yet these four theaters entertain over 10000 people every year. give employment to $50 attaches and to $500 actors.
 Four thousand people pass in and out of each one of these theaters daily. Ten thousand dollars are distributed each week in salaries to the actors and S3, 800 to the attaches. Take one thea ter for example, the house in Boston. It Is open the year round, and 1t costs S7,000 a week to keep 1t open, while Its patrons will average 25,000 every week. On a holiday it will play to from 10000 to 12,000 people.-From "The Vaudeville Theater," by Edwin Milton Royle, in Scribner's.

Walking Sticks.

The sixteenth century is that in which the walking stick became not merely useful implement, but an ar ticle of fashion, dignity and luxury. In the seventeenth century it was gold headed and made of rare woods. 1t was a sign of leadership.
 For a long period there was little variety among Englishmen in the ma terial used for the majority of walking sticks The "oaken towel" as 1t was pleasantly termed when an enemy was to be rubbed down." shared popular ity with the crab tree cudgel, which. among rural folk especially, was much valued and classic from the conflict in "Hudibras, when

 Classic, too, is that stout oaken stick which sturdy Dr.. Johnson, who, like Knox, "never feared the face of living man," provided himself with when he went to the pit of the little theater in the Haymarket in full view of Foote, who had announced his intention of taking him off" on the stage--an in- tention which, in view of the stick, he did not carry into effect. s Magazine.
