A GORGEOUS SPECTACLE.
Ringling Bros New Military Display
Creates a Sensation.

A new patriotic military spec
tacle is the latest colossal novelty
introduced by the famous Ring
ling Brothers as a prelude to their
unrivalled Worlds Greatest Shows.
There is something in human
nature that demands beauty and
light and color, and which finds it's
highest qualification in the glories
Of spectacular display. None
knew this better than Caesar
Augustus, Alexander the Great
and even Napoleon Bonaparte, and
these great leaders of men and
nations controlled the hearts and
won the loyalty Of the people as
much by the magnihcence Of their
public spectacles as by the power
of their legions. While partaking
in a large measure of the military
character of the times, the Roman
and Greek spectacles artistically
modified the glare and panoply Of
war with the sumptuous arts of
peace, the sentiment Of a CLASH
cally poetic age, the love Of luxury
and the delight Of the populace
for %glittering display. In their
new patriotic spectacle Ringing
Brothers have conceived and
brought to realization a display
that dazzles while it delights, that
mingles startled wonder with.
gratifed establishment, that awak-
ems all that is noblest and best in
human nature through the three
fold intelligence Of the eye, the
ear, and the intellect. The COM
prehensive and striking title Of
Ringling Brothers new spectacle
is "The Last Days of the Century,
or the Light Of Liberty" but this
does little more than suggest the
scope of the display or the posi-
bilities Of gorgeous ornamentation
and brilliancy Of apparel. The
display is a magnificent reflex Of
the regal splendors Of the ancients,
combined with a vivid po~rtraiture
upon a scale of unequalled magni-
tude, Of the stirring events of the
hour. Liberty is typifed by a
series Of categorical tableaux in
which are thrillingly pictured the
genius Of American institutions
and the glorious triumphs Of
Americap arms on land and sea.
In the varied scenes Of the spec
tacle there are utilized over a
thousand characters, representing
with marvellous fidelity in deport-
ment and costuming the military
powers Of the world; whole, troops
Of American cavalry and entire
battalions Of jolly jack tars; Her
Majesty's 9TH regiment Of Hussars,
the SWEETEST Of England's crack
military organizations, led by their
famous mounted military band;
squadrons Of German Uhlans and
French Cuirassiers; platoons of
Russian Cossacks from the
Steppes; the Imperial Bashi-
Bazouks Of the Sultan's body
guard; a detachment Of Japanese
soldiery, and other military Or
CARNATIONS, all appearing in a
tremendous spectacular drama, in
which the American Goddess of
Liberty rises, under the hallowed
folds Of the stars and stripes,
triumphant over the military
powers Of the world. This great
spectacle will be seen in all it's
magnificent completeness when
Ringing Brothers world famous
circus exhibits in this city Monday
July 8.

people never tire of hearing this band
play. It will be on the Chautauqua
grounds every day from the opening of
the assembly, July l to it's close, July
16. Where the Indian band is there
will be good music and plenty of it.
THE "ANGELUS."
The "Angelus" Orchestral Piano
Player is a beautiful little cabinet, G on
tanning mechanically operated fingers,
and two full sets of reeds for produc-
ing wonderful orchestral effects, which
may be placed separately or in COM
pany with the piano, and is played
like a SYMPHONY" These fingers
strike the keys of any piano exactly as
human fingers do, rendering the most
difficult compositions in a manner i'm
possible to any but the most skillful
pianist. An Angelus will be at the
Chautauqua throughout the season.
Those who have heard it want to hear
it again. 1t is a ~marve]ously beautiful
instrument. It responds to the high
est ideals of the player. No one should
miss hearing the beautiful Angelus.
BASEBALL.
No gathering, Chautauqua or other
wise, is complete without baseball.
During the assembly a number of good
games will be played on the grounds.
There has been cleared especially for
this game a tract 500 feet square.

fenced navigator, runs hourly excur-
sions from the Chautauqua Grounds,
with the steamer Minnie H and Rock
Island. These excursions are AMONG
the pleasant attractions of the Chau,
tauqua. A. visit to the lake is not
complete unless you have rode on one
of these steamers across to Fort
Totten and to some of the points of
interest on this wonderful body of salt
water.

The New Census.

June of the next year is the time for
taking the twelfth census of the Unit
ed States.
The large amount of preliminary
work to prepare for 1t will require an
unusual amount OF energy on the part
OF the government. Congress must
first act. The House committee on
census, through its chairman, Mr..
Hopkins, has reported a bill providing
for taking the census. Another bill IL
pending, in the senate. The latter
measure is regarded as rather incom-
plete and impractical. The Hopkins
bill is the result of much earnest study
on the part of the chairman and seeks
to make the new census available
within two years after its taking,in or
der that it may be of some value to the
people before becoming obsolete,a as has
been the case with most previous CEN
suses. In these days of rapid printing,
Il, is a travesty on the art and on the
governmental department to allow the
publication of the details of census
to drag along through seven or eight
years. Two years is ample time for
the publication of the twelfth census
and Mr.. Hopkins's measure is a good
one in that respect at least.
But his bill is also more practical
than previous measures, in that it al
lows a month for taking the enumera-
tion in the rural districts il, and two
weeks for the cities. The difference in
the time is due ito the territorial differ
ences of the units to be canvassed by
each enumerator. The unit in the city
is a precinctin the country a township
The committee refused to place the
census-taking under civil service rules
and in this respect made a mistake.
The character of the work of gathering
data and the necessity of first-class
men being chosen would have justified
applying the merit rules to this work
The Hopkins bill, however, ought tc
be speedily passed. By the time the
bureau is ready for the work, there
will be little over a year left in which
to issue the necessary instructions
and prepare the necessary blank form!
for the accumulation and tabulaton o.
| the data. Congress should not GU
| that time short by delaying the re-
quired legislation.-0hio State Jour

Pocket Telephones for Fire Chief

The Fire Commissioners decided to
adopt a telephone system devised by

police and fire alarm telegraph.
The new device is a complete tele-
phone carried in a box The box is fit
ted with hooks to engage in the bot
tom of the fire-alarm boxes after the
doors are opened. The telephone is
then connected with the fre-alarm
wires by means of plugs. Upon sig
nal being given a bell is rung in the
fire-alarm office, and telephone COM
munication can at once be had
Each of the district fire chiefs and
the engine and hook -and-ladder comp
anies will carry one of the telephones,
and in the case of accidents, or when
additional engines or any special ap-
paratus is required, it can be summon
ed without resorting to the cumber-

ATTORNEY GENERAL
Monnett is in the City Getting Tes-
timonv. Concerning the Buckeye
Pine Line Co.

There are in Marietta several legal
lights of especial prominence, who are
engaged upon most momentous case
that OF revolSing the charter of the
Buckeye Pipe Line Company. the Ohio
Oi Company and the Solar Refining
Company, all doing business in Ohio
The Attorney General is now and
has been for some time, waging a le-
gal warfare against the Standard Oil
Company, aIj his fight on the Buckeye
Pipe Line Company is but an incident
in the general engagement. Up to
date the shells of the General have
seemingly made but slight dents in the
thick sides of the Standard, and the eff
fccts of his aims n. the Buckeye will
be watched with interest.
The principal matter brought out in
the examination yesterday was the
fact, that so far as ordinary business
convenience goes, there is but one buy
er of oil in this part of the country,
and that buyer, Joseph Seep, who is
harshly accused of being a party to
Standard oil affairs. The Attorney
General is seeking TO establish the
oneness" of these companies as relat-
ed to and being part of the Standard
Oil Trust, which he contends is not
properly doing business in Ohio.
Attorney General Monnett Is being
assisted by Attorney e. B. Kinkead, of
Columbus; while the interests of the
Buckeye Pipe Line Company are being
guarded by the Standards attorney,
Hon. Virgil p. Cline, of Cleveland;
Assistant Counsellor M. F. Elliott, of
New York, and A. D. ollett, of this
city.
The dispositions were taken before
Attorney Middleswart, Notary Public.
