"4-PAW- SELLS DAY."
It VIII Be the Only important Circus Here
This Season.

It VIII Be the Only important Circus Here
This Season.
Circus enterprise has undoubtedly
reached its limit in the combined Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers shows,
which are to charm and divert The vo-
taries of "sawdust and spangles" here
abouts next Wednesday.
In the big tent" of the 4-Paw- Sells
combine, $4,000 people can be comfort
ably seated at a single performance.
The great aggregation comes here
fresh from signal triumphs in New
York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
Every feat and feature shown in those
cities will be exhibited in this city.
The menageries of the Forepaugh-
Sells establishment are said to be the
most phenomenal collectors ever as
sembled. Among the performing ami
mails are three distinct troupes Of
trained elephants, taught in different
schools and entirely unlike Eight oe
the largest of the Forepaugh contin-
gent dance a quadrille, which is said to
be the most remarkable exhibition OF
animal training on record. Captain
Woodward's seals and sea ,ions-the
only troupe of the kind in the world
will rejoice the youngsters especially.
Another rare treat for the children
will be the unique performance of the
baby elephant, Cuba" an Indian e.
bra, and a group of Hungarian ponies
in one grand frolic Jules Carr's educa-
ted grizzly bears are another animal
act" sensation.
Most of the equestrian, aerialistic,
acrobatic and hippodrome acts were
especially engaged in Europe. Among
those most notable are the Florence,
Millette and Carl Damann troupes Of
acrobats the four Hanlons-gymnast
comets-champions of the universe:
Hadj Lessilk's Arab acrotats ard
Prince Sanbro's Japanese jusGlers give
a genuine cosmopolitan complexion to
the performance. The superla tive
equestrian feature is the simultaneous
appearance in three rings of the three
champion lady riders of the world
May Davenport, Marie Marietta and
Sallie Stickney, who hail from Eng
land, France and America in the order
named. The contingent of male riders

arena-A. M. Davenport, William De
Mott and Oscar Lowanda. Other eques-
trian stars are; Mile. Bonne, Europe's
foremost high school rider: Walter
Lowe and wife, break-neck western
rough riders, and William German
the hero horseman of the worldwide
rides and drives thirty thoroughbreds
at one time. A complete hippodrome
equipment, imported from Paris, fur
nishes sensations never experienced
save on an open-air race track.
The Inaugural event of '4-Paw-S Sells
day" will be the street professional
display of the combined shows that
will leave the exhibition grounds at
q 3o m. and traverse the principal
thoroughfares of the city. The Fore
paugh-s Sells federation is the only i'm
portant tented exhibition that will be

Again the gambling habit destroys
the home. How could it be otherwise
when the money which should go 70
food and comforts for 1be wife and
children is used to furnish fresh fuel
for one of the lowest and basest pas
sions known to man.
The gambling habit is also the boon
companion of all other evils and vices,
drinking, dishonesty, profanity, low
companions and a score Of other vices
are sure to follow closely in the wake
of gambling. Let me read you a list
Of crimes arising from gambling in the
year 1890: 12S persons were either shot
or stabbed over gambling games.
Besides these, "a committed suicide
and 60 persons were murdered in cold
blood, while two were driven insane.
Among the crimes committed to get
money to gamble with were two burg
laries, so forgeries and So embezzle-
ments, while 80 persons holding posi-
lions of trust in banks and other
places of mercantile life abseonded.
The enormous sum of So. 19S.S75 is
shown by the same record as the pro-
ceeds of these embellishments and de-
falcations. Hon. C. M Depew stated in
a newspaper interview that 80 per cent
Of defalcations and thefts and ruin of
youth among people employed in places
of trust were due directly to gambling.
The universal prevalence Of this vice
is q reason for parental vigilance and
the cause of remonstrance from citi-
zens, the minister of the gospel the
patriot and the press. The only safe
way is not to take the first step He
who refuses to take the first glass Of
wine will never become a drunkard.
He who refuses to play cards for prizes
bet on the college boat race, or to stake
the first five cents on a game of
chance will never become a gambler.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
Rev. Pitt Dillingham; Defines Southern
Flag Raising.

Out from the heart of the blacklist
cotton belt county in Alabama came
Rev. Pitt Dillingham;, principal and Sc
oretary of the colored school and home
farm at Calhoun, to occupy the pulpit
at the First Unitarian church yester-
day morning.
Rev. Mr., Dillingham;, in his descrip-
ton Of the colored school and the work
of its promoters and students, touched
upon the expansion policy. He said in
part mot long ago, school children
in Porto Rico sang America and raised
the American flag for the first time in
their lives A similar event, strange as
it may seem, happened a few days ago
at Calhoun, where the stars and stripes
floated over our school buildings for the
first time since the civil war
This outburst of national enthusi-
asm from the state which produced
Gen. Joe Wheeler and Lieut.. HobsOn
has its significance.
Northern and southern men, white
and black, fought under the stars and
stripes side by side, and shed COM
in which all united, as given solemnly
out by this nation to the world, was for
humanity's sake, the duty Of the
strong towards to weak, civilizing the
uncivilized. Two things merge clearly,
then, in connection with these flag
raisings in Porto Rico and in the black
belt, the most important Of which is
unfinished business at home. This bu-
siness was left on the hands Of the
south unfinished by war and the eman-
cipation act

A GREAT ECONOMIST.

Governor Leary of Guam
Holds court in the shade of palm.
He comes of the race that takes fght-
ing as play,
That jokes with tomorrow and biarneys
That governs by instinct, but hates to
Is that why they sent him to Guam?
They gave him, like Sancho, an isle
To rule with benevolent guile.
The natives were lazy; they dldn I
Their manners were fine, but their
morals were such
That decency gAlloped away on
And vice iounged around In a smile.
But Leary-a monarch of force
Gave heed to his subjects. of course,
He taught them that manhood by in
dustry thrives
He showed them the folly of triplicate
lives,
And greatly reduced their assortment
of wives
By crude but effective divorce.
Yet hear of the facts of his quill,
Ye students of Spencer and Mill!
He issued an trade, to which all must
bow,
That each sturdy loafer must harrow
Must harbor and cherish twelve hens
and a sow,
Or win them by labor and skill.
Leary offendi Salaaml
Return from the land of the palm!
Give laws to people o'erburdened
with care!
Compel me to flourish with carriage
and pair,
And make every beggar a quintillion-
airel
why lavish thy genius on Guam?
