THE BIG CIRCUS TODAY.
The Tents Are Wascr-Praof and Two
Excellent Performances Scheduled

The Great Wallace Shows, which exhibit
in Richmond to-day. are now classed in
the foremost rank Of Americas big shows.
1t is the largest tented enterprise in the
country that is owned and tla1aSal by
one man. Mr., Wallace has already made
an envable reputation for having an up
to-Jiate show
THE best show seen here in years is
the verdict Of all towns where the Wal
lace shows exhibit. That the Wallace
Show exhibits the features advertised
without a single exception, and even goes
further and exhibits new and novel feat
ures not advertised. is a fact attested by
the press and public opinion wherever it
has exhibited.
Many shows have advertised water
proof tents, but few have had them be-
cause OF the expense. But today TIE
Richmond people will discover that Wal
lace also keeps this advertised promise.
His tents have been made Waterproof by
a chemical process and will not leak ex-
cept at the lacings where the sections of
the tent are put together The threaten
ing weather should not deter any one from
visiting INalaces Shows.
One Of the features Of the Wallace Show
is Prof. Bronson's Band of twenty-four
pieces. Fer one hour preceding each per-
Torrance this band PLAYS a concert of the
latest and most difficult pieces IF it
should ram to-day the band concert viii
be unusually attractive. as music under
a wet canvass always sounds louder and
better than under a dry tent. Doors will
be opened at and at { o'clock perfor-
mances begin one hour later. The ran
agement promises not 10 allow bad heather
to interfere with either tae comforts Of
the public or the usual programme.
The parade will leave the show lot at

A NEEDY COUPLE.
Old Solo! icrand His Wife Nay be Adj
mittcd to the Homes.

A great many applications are being sent
in by ladies who desire 10 become inmates
of the new Home for Needy Confederate
Women, which will be formally opened on
October 18th.
Among the applicants is one whose con-
dition is said to be indeed pitiable. Mr..
and Mrs. D. NJ. Harlow, aged seventy
and sixty-tive years, respectively, are liv-
ing by themselves, at No. 105 North -Four
teenth Street. They are both broken down
in health and enfeebled with old age The
husband has good war record, it is said,
having enlisted in the Confederate army
in 1862 and fought until the close Of the
war.
He desires to so to the Soldiers Home,
While his wife wants to gain admission 10
the Home for Aged Women The mana
gers of both institutions are being inter-
ested in these apparently most deserving
cases, and it is probable that arrangements
will be made to get them in.

the Regiment.
WILL SELECT CAPT. HIGGINS.
He is Slated for Colonel OF the Seven
ty First-Captain Vaughan Tor Lieu
tenant-Colonel-Ca Bossieu1
Mentioned for Major
WILL SELECT CAPT. HIGGINS.

If Col. George Wayne Anderson de-
sires it, he can probably secure the
colonelcy of the Seventeen Virginia
Regiment. Col Anderson Will certainly
not permit his name to be presented II
it appears that there viii be a contest Tor
the alive. Should the colonelcy be imam
anlously rendered him. this would De
an honor that he could hardly decline.
1t is thought that Col. Thomas ;: hel-
lar, of Charlottesville, will be put up by
his friends for the colonelCy, and in all
probability Major r C. Scruggs OF Lynch
burg, will aspire to this position. Both OF
these gentlemen were officers IN the Span
ish-American war Col Anderson served
for many years as lieutenant-colonel OF
the First Regiment, and after Col. Jones,
resignation he was acting colonel. Col
Anderson volunteered for service in the
war with Spain, but failed TO secure
commission. He is widely known and ex-
ceedingiy popular with the military peo-
pie.
THOSE WHO WILL VOTE.
The captains ana the two lieutenants
of each company are entitled to vote for
field officers. Richmond has five compa-
MES, but one is without captain, and
Capt. a. j. Vaughan, Jr-, is ILL., This city,
therefore, will have only thirteen votes
in the meeting
Should Col Anderson be elected com
mandant OF the regiment. Col. Kellar or
Major Scruggs will no doubt be made lieu
tenant-colonel. There will be four COM
panies in each battalion, and one of the
Richmond companies viii have to be put
in a battalion with organizations from
other cities. Capt. C. Gray Bossieux is
talked of for major of the Richmond bat
talon.
