TRAVELLING MEN.
This Is Their Day at the Elks'
Carnival.
The Various Shows Continue to Attract
Crowds, in Spite Of the Ex-
IRENE Heat.
From Fridays Daily g..


The carnival shows were crowded
last night until a late hour, but the
extreme heat today prevented very
large attendance. Undoubtedly there
will be crowd on hand again tonight.
The number of paid admissions yester-
day was II, 22O. This does not mean
that that many people visited the
shows, as most of them visited several
shows
This is travelling mems day, and a
good many of this fraternity are in
the city. No special program has
been prepared for their entertainment.
The Elks' management are of the
opinion that confetti throwing kept
very many people on the streets We'd
nesday night, who would otherwise
have attended the shows. No confetti
was thrown last night, nor will any be
allowed to be thrown tonight.
Several of the takers who secuted
licenses to do business on the streets
have pulled up stakes and departed for
pastures new, where the grass is
greener. They scarcely made expenses
while in the city.
The exhibition run made by the fire
department this forenoon was highly
creditable one. From the time the
alarm was sounded until water was
turned on, on the roof of the old
cracker and candy factory at Front and
Poplar streets, only three minutes
and thirty seconds elapsed. The teams
were in the stalls when the alarm
sounded, and had to be harnessed, and
the run of five and half blocks had
to be made, an extension ladder taken
from the hook and ladder truck and
run up, and line of hose carried up
by fremen and water turned on.
Chief Beach's men are deserving Of
great praise for their fast work. They
work just as fast when there is real
fire, and that is what has made them
such successful fire fighters.
The Juvenile band was out on the
street last evening, and will be out
each afternoon and evening during the
remainder of the carnival It's music
adds greatly to the pleasures of the
carnival.
Last evening two horses became
frightened at the Ferris wheel and
nearly trampled upon people. One fell
and Chief Bowen held it down until
it could be secured, and Special Officer
Jordan caught the other and was
dragged some distance and received an
injury to his shoulder Should it prove
to be necessary, that part Of Front
street from Jackson to Mulberry or
Plum will be roped off tonight and to-
morrow night, and only teams having
business inside the lines will be allow
ed to enter. This step will be taken
only if it should prove necessary to
protect the pedestrians who crowd that
part of the street at night.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the
carnival.

A decision handed down in the
United States circuit court makes it
nr,aye xvor1 probable that 1900
dentists will have
topayto the widow
of DIR Sheffield something like 100000
600. For the last six years dentists
have gone ahead as far as they cared
TO with bridge work. They would
not recognize the claim of DR.. Shelf
field to royalties, and to keep the
case going in court 1000 organized
the Dentists Protective association,
with paid-up capital of $4,000. DIR.
Sheffield died poor and brolIen-heart-
ed month ago, but his widow took
up his litigation and heard the court
decide n few days ago that the Hanks
company, whose case is test one,
must pay her Is per cent. royalty on
the bridge work done by them. She
will Immediately start suit against
the other 16.999 dentists of the
country. 1t certainly seems that
bridge work comes high, not only to
people who have to patronize dentists,
but to the dentists themselves. We
trust the public viii not take too
great pains to show tleir glee at the
discontinue of their tormentors.

MOONS PHAsLs.

Some time ago the Railway and En-
cheering Review directed attention
TRANSFORMATION to the English prac-
tice of providing
"' e A' hospital cars for
the transportation of sick persons, and
suggested that possibly the railroads
in this country, and particularly those
lnade use of by inyalids seeking
change of climate, could adopt SINH
lar practice TO advantage. 1t now APP
pears that~the subject has been un-
der consideration at least to the ex-
tent Of providing separate cars for con-
sumptiyes, but, thinks the Review, that
will only partially meet the difficulty.
Consumptives are not the only in
valids who travel, and very few of
those afflicted with that disease will
admit it. They recognize the fact that
they are sick, but it is always some
thing else than consumption that is
the matter, and while, being sick, they
would gladly avail themselves of the
advantages of hospital car. they
would not travel in one set aside for
consumptives. The running of such
car any day over any route would
not be necessary, especially as it has
been demonstrated by the use during
the summer of special tri.weekly trains
that people desiring special accommo-
dations would wait for such trains
rather than travel in the ordinary
coaches.

mits to his friends his conclusion that

seems that while travelling through
the interior of that country he was
prevailed upon by one of the sons of
the prophet to buy at an exceedingly
high price great deal of what was de-
scribed as syrian lamb fleece" When
he returned to Philadelphia he sent
this to his tailor with Instructors to
use it for lining a heavy ulster he was
having made. A week or so later he
called at the tailor's to try on the
overcoat. ''You didn't send us quite

Trust companies and life insurance
companies are looking about for new
devices that will assist the prodigal
sons of civilization in the saving of
money. Small banks are now left at
your homes in which you are asked to
drop your spare change. Once a

keeps the key, sends man to collect
your savings, which are invested in
stocks and bonds to your credit.

1t used to be the custom for children to
say "Yes, maam," mo, sir" to their
elders, but that is now considered to be-

and we'll bred children say, "Yes, NAM

'Yes'' and "No'' when unaccompanied BY

Well-bred children do not pass in front

Young people should rise whenever a
visitor comes into or takes leave of the
family circle. and also If addressed else

happen to be seated.
In France young girls are trained in
winsome, attractive manners. They are
careful to stand aside to permit their eld-
ers to pass first. They do not sit while
any one of them is standing, and their
polite Difference in conversation pays them
a pretty compliment. 1t was for a French
woman that the word Charming was
invented.
Children should not be forward in claim
ing the attention of friends or visitors
when they are being greeted by the elder
members of the family. neither should one
hold out a reluctant hand under parental
coercion. Shyness is only less unattract-
i've than forwardness, and is due generally
to Ignorance of what is expected of one.

stranger. Then, after asking permission
to prefer the request, it is made, and the
child withdraws, after taking courteous
leave of the guest.

shortcomings and children are not less
sensitive, but some mothers do not seem
