WOMEN TO GIVE CIRCUS.
Gay Set at Newport Preparing for n
Novel Event in "a Big Tent on
Lawn at Rose Cliff.

Newport is on the eve of a circus,
one out of the ordinary, in that it will
be a society affair and viii be attended
only by members of the fashionable
colony. 1t is called "The Oelrichs Cir
GUS" in that it will be given by Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs, and will take place
on the Oelrichs' estate on the cliffs.
1t will be the first affair of the kind
ever given in Newport, and several
surprises are in store for those who
are to attend.
Mrs. Oelrichs has carefully guarded
the features of the show except that it
has been announced that Harry Lehr
is to be the ringmaster. A huge tent
has been erected on the lawn at Rose
cliff, and everything that goes with
circus will be there, even TO the side
show. A ring has been built and cir
Gus band has been imported for the oc-
casion.
The artists, as far as known, have
been secured out of town, but it is
understood that special acts will be
introduced by members of the cottage
colony. There will be no tickets sold
to this circus, and a squad of police
men will be on hand to see that no out
siders crawl under the tent.

watch and Wait. Say. Koch.

Prof. Robert Koch, in explaining his
recent London address on consump-
ton, declares that experiment with
actual facts is the only method of
fighting the disease. To the Berlin
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald he declared that argument
could not in any manner forward the
matter. Statistics will not accomplish
what experiment alone can do.
DR.. Koch said it was now demon
strated that human tuberculosis could
not be transmitted to cattle. By care
full watching the reverse of this would
be indisputably proved.
He did not wish TO dismantle all the
expensive systems of regulation, in
spection and prevention now in vogue,
but he thought it wise not to add to
these systems useless appendages.
The remedy, he believes, is almost
within reach.

HOW CHINAMEN GET IN.
Discovery Made of Scheme by Which
CeIestiaIs Enter I'm Great Num-
beers Into This Country.

Discoveries have just been made,
says a Santa Barbara (Cal.) special to
the San Francisco Chronicle, which
are believed to establish conclusively
that wholesale smuggling of Chinese
from British Columbia into the United
States through Santa Barbara has
been carried on. The revenue officials
were notified several weeks ago and
for three weeks the revenue cutter
McCulloch has been cruising in the
waters of Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence. The smuggling
scheme is outlined as follows:
Lumber-laden vessels leave Puget
Sound for southern California points,
and, after getting well out to sea, run
over to Vancouver, B. c., and pick up
Chinese, which are ostensibly shipped
as part of the crew. Some of these
vessels put in to Port Hartford, San
Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as necessary.
When sailing for the north the crews
consist almost exclusively of white
sailors.
Another method adopted is the land
ing of Chinese on one of the islands in
the channel, and they are brought to
Santa Barbara as Abalone fishermen.

BIRDS AT WASHINGTON.
Many Varieties Are Found I'm Numer-
GUS Parks There and Are Studied
by the scIentfst@.

Washington doubtless has more
separate parks than has any other
city of the same area in the world,
and in none of those of the Capital
City is such a variety of birds to be
found as in the grounds about the
department of agriculture, the Smith
sonian, and National museum. A
great cherry tree in the grounds
back of the agricultural, when in
fruitage, was visited by hundreds of
birds from all over the city.
The birds grew so tame that they
wholly ignored not only the bird-lov-
ing scientists, who stood for hours
during the day watching their fight
back and forth, but also the clerks
who gathered under the outspreading
branches at noontime to enjoy their
basket lunches.
Robins of several varieties hop
close to pedestrians feet, and the
beautiful Baltimore orioles fly almost
upon the heads of the gardeners in
their efforts to pick the seeds from
stray clump of gorgeous sunfiow-
ers that stole its way in among more
cultivated plants. Many varieties of
humming birds fit from flower to
flower, while at least 30 other varie-
ties of bird life, including the his
toric old owl of the Smithsonian
tower, keep the place lively.
But perhaps the greatest nuisance
that exists from the many birds is
the house-cleaning occasioned by the
pesky little English sparrow. As one
of the scientists sat underneath a
tree with his face upturned to a bird
nest above to which a young mother
was making trips every few moments
in her effort to keep four gaping
mouths filled, he remarked:
"These impertinent little sparrows
are not content with littering up
every nook and corner of the fine old
building (the Smithsonian, but they
must needs bullu their nests in the
electric lights and cause no end of
trouble in cleaning them out every
day or So"

King Edward while at Homburg was
as unconventional as when he was
prince of Wales. He walked to the
Elizabeth spring and drank measure
of water.
"At Homburg last year." says T. P.
O'Connor's NJ. A. P. MAINLY About
People, "the prince of Wales frequent
ly accompanied an American mining
man on the latter's motor car. The
host asked the prince to accept a sim
liar car, which he did. The king was
consulted a few weeks ago as to
whether the splendid car, just COM
pleted, should be sent. The reply was
that his accession had entirely altered
matters. AS king he could not receive
such a gift. The mining magnate re-
minded him that he accepted the mo-
tor as prince of Wales"
There are various versions" Mr..
O'Connor adds, "in regard to the Sc
quel of the Americans persistence"

oUTwIT RUSSIANS
Compel Manufacturer There to Come
40 America for Plans and
Drawings for Pumps.

New illustrations of the determine
ton of the Russian government
to prevent the use of foreign
made goods in any public works
come to light almost daily. The
newspapers of st. Petersburg this
week print circulars from the min
lister of railways and the minister of
education, directing attention to or
ders from the finance ministry against
the use of foreign railway materials
and educational supplies. When the
required articles cannot be had in Rus
STA the higher authorities must be con-
suited before an order can be given to
a foreign manufacturer or an i'm
porter.
Another instance is furnished by the
decision to complete the naphtha pipe
line from Baku to Batoum. 1t ends
now in the mountains. When the first
section was built it was desired to use
Russian pumps, but it was found that
no Russian concern could turn out the
article needed. The order was there
upon, by special ukase of the emperor,
given to an American house. The price
was cut down pretty low on the
ground, it is said, that the same COM
pany would naturally get the order
for the second section and that, having
models and drawings all ready, the 'ex-
pense to it of making the additional
pumps would be considerably less
ened. The American company is not
accustomed to depend on promises,
and took the precaution to build
pumps of unique design for this pipe
line and to patent its plans and pro-
tect it's models. 1t is now about to
reap the reward of its foresight. The
order has gone forth that none but
Russian materials are to be used. In
vitations to bid for pumps were sent
to none but Russian houses. However,
as the pumps must match those now
used, the successful bidder has had to
come to the Americans and make
terms for the use of their plans and
drawings.

Being lively as COW" is the Pc
culiar qualification claimed by Harry
E. Blair, of Girard, Kan, in a letter
which was received from him by the
Chicago naval recruiting station the
other day relative to being enlisted
in the navy. Girard failed to state,
however, the age or kind of COW he
has reference to and Capt. Perkins, of
the recruiting station. is puzzled to
know what sort of seaman he would
make. Girard wrote the following
letter:
Dear Sir: I saw your naval papers

Prof. Crassi is reported as having
completed a series of experiments,
lasting 40 days. near ostia, where he
inoculated more than 500 persons with
a mosquito serum. He made each per-
son apparently immune to malaria in a
district where that disease attacks
many persons. Prof. Crassi's name has
been prominently associated of late
with the theory that malaria is caused
by mosquito bites.
DIR. A. II. Doty, when asked at Tomp-
kinsville, n. Y, to express an opinion
on this report, said: "a great many
such theories have been presented
from time to time, but few have
proved to be successful.
"The anti-toxin serum for diphthe-
ria is, of course, notable exception.
So far, have yet to know of an Of
fective yellow fever serum, and as for
DR.. Crassi's reported mosquito serum
for malaria 1 know too few of the
facts to make any prediction"
