fish nor beast they possess the attri.

but can exist for an interminable per.
iod on land 90 long as they are supplied
with their natural food, fish They
are the only animals born In slD watet
that are covered with hair, and that
hair Is the finest fur known. They
have no legs or feet, but Hippers that
resemble In shape somewhat the wing
of bird, and are webbed like the fin
or the foot Of duck. Dissected, these
fiippers are found to contain the homes
and claws Of bear, and when their
huge round bodies are laid open by the
anife the bones Of the legs OF these an
imals are found embedded in the flesh
and folded together and absolutely
useless, This fact leads to the suppo-
sition, which the Esquimax claim as
fact, that they had their originals bears
and dogs that were driven into the sea
by some natural enemy, where nature,
in her infinite and mysterious wisdom,
provided them with means to continue
their existence in this unnatural ele-
ment, now their natural home. With
heads abnormally small, and with cra-
NUNS scarcely perceptible, and with
no exterior evidence of possessing any
greater brain than other inhabitants
of the deep, they are, as a matter Of
fact, the mos, sagacious, the most In
telllgent animals in the natural king
dom after men. This strange fact has
only recently been developed by Capt.
the removed artic explor-
er, who now has troupe of trained sea
lions and seals with the Adam Fore

were informed that 5000 more was
taken 10 at the ticket Offices th4n had
previously been done in any Southern
town this year. To give a mere. dis
cription OF the wonderful feats of dar-
ing OF the performers and the marvel
GUS intelligence displayed by the
trained animals is impossible. 1t is
suffice to say that nearly every number
on the program alone being worth the
price of admission. The clowns were
more clowny than ever. What they
did not do to make the people laugh
seemed not worth doing. The whole
performance is most wonderful thing
to witness.
To an observing person It is nearly
"half the show" to watch the thrOngs
OF people, and show day furnishes such
an one with an endless panoramic view
OF amusing sights and incidents. Old
and digni6ed citizens we're seen march
ing along the streets munching pop
corn "bricks" with childish glee.
There seems to be something In the
very air on such days, which re-kindles
che fires Of youth and he cannot resist
the spell cast upon him. One old gem
tleman Of dignitied mein and courtly
bearing was made the custodian Of
about seven balloons by as many Of his
little tot friends. Nearly every child
who passed this gentleman took him
for q balloon man and wanted to puF-
chase one Of them. Some Of his fEiends
happened along at one OF these times,
and his dignity suffered quite fall BY
being guyed by hisfriends In the hear
ing Of all the passingpeopIe. But there
is no doubt but that this kindly old
gentleman would have suffered a great
deal more for the cake Of his little
friends. A prominent planter made
the remark that be never saw SO many
colored people before, and added that
he wished they had all come 70 town,
for they were making 20 much money
that little or no work could be gotten
outof them, and had they all dome

burletta Is in three scenes, IN the first or
which Mamie Conway. dressed as sparingly
as allowed by the law. plays the part OF a
fairy and sings a song. OF the other two
scenes little may be said.

johnson relies mostly on his suggestive re-
marks for applause. Udell and Pearce as

is heard and the piece consists largely OF
the use OF a seltzer bottle. Myrtle Tres
slider, singing soubrette, renders several
selections which pleased. George Melville
and Mamie Conway have an act In which
Mr. Melville does some clever Juggling.

chorus is large and the members have good
voices. but the act reeks with suggestive
