THINKS TROTTING
 CIRCUIT ASSURED
PLANS TO HAVE RACING IN NUM- BER OF SOUTHERN CITIES, IT IS BELIEVED, WILL BE sUc- cESSFUL.

Memphis, October 27.-"The Southern trotting circuit is practically assured" said Secretary Murray Howe of the Mem phis Trotting Association today "The fact the closing of the Lexington meeting left the owners of fast horses no alterna- tive but to go home until the present meeting at Memphis demonstrated the fact that the South opened a field for successful operations, has caused wide discussion among horse people as to the adyisability of arranging a Southern cir cult that would afford enough paying cities, at convenient distances apart, for a prolongation of the regular season. Climatic influences prompted the discus- sion and Secretary Howe was the first to put the scheme in tangible form.
 Terre Haute, Lexington, Cincinnati and Memphis are the cities that are certain to be in on the deal with possible addition at some convenient point that may mean Nashville. New Orleans is a possibility.

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the bodv every three minutes, and when it reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with 1t to keen tha fires of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore vouy wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life; you fail that much to keen up lhe needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This ac- counts for the life-giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iron. and to do that 1t Is to restore the full dy-building power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar hfe-quickening func- ton; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron is lacking. yigor and strength returns just as surely when this element Is restored.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because 1t con- tains the particular blood-makine and strength-giNng form of iron that the svs- tenn needs. This remedy purifies and en- riches the blood, 1t increases the activity of the stomach, liver and kidneys. If overcomes nerviousness and builds in vi tality and strength. It agrees with tha most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-five years. Prepared only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co. Dayton Ohio. Sold everywhere.

Quiet and UneventfuI.

Berlin, October 27.-Last week the Boerse had a quiet and uneventful ex- perienoe with no considerable changes of quotations in any department. The week began with an announcement of a divi- dend of per cent as against by the Italian Mediterranean Railway and a statement that the Austrian Southern Railway would undergo reorganization by members of which the holders of it's 3 per cent obligations would suffer some loss. As the Germans have large hold ings in both lines the incidents caused a declining tendency. Nevertheless this was ultimately overcome and the general tone was fairly firm although transao- tions remained within the narrowest limits.
 Referring to the situation in the United States. the Frankfort zeitung says:
 Tt Is a favorable factor for our in- dustry that the American iron works are unusually we'll employed and are about to take further orders. Naturally this reduces the sharp competition of the United States in the markets of the world and gives to German industry a freer field"

Market Unsatisfactory.

Manchester, October N.-Last weeks market was generally unsatisfactory with turnover below the average. Any im- provement in the demand will encourage spfnners and manufacturers to make a serious effort to improve margins. Cloth offers from India and other points were on lower level. making negotiations ex- tremely difficult. Indeed, the bids were scarcely entertained, and consequently sales were small. There was a moderate business in shirtings and fancy goods, China and the minor Eastern outlets for warding a few orders. At Burnley the manufacturers are grumbling freely but they manage to keep most of the looms going somehow. Yarns were weak in the early part of the week, the trade being limited. Later they became firmer, and there was little increase in home business.

creston Clarke.

The number of leading actors today who successfully interpret and retain in their repertoire the plays of Shake speare. will be found lonely in count of the fingers of one hand.
 There Is an occasional fine production, with a season all too brief; but to con- tinue year after yaer in Shakespearean art, as is notable in the career of Creston Clarke, is exceptional.
 MT. Clarke Is an actor whose admirers are being constantly augmented. There are many who regard him as the only successor to Edwin Booth to whom, both in his stage work and In his appearances, he is startingly alike. Markely so is said to be his artistic and forceful portrayal of Hamlet" the role in which MT. Clarke, supported by his large company, will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre to- morrow night.
 Mir. Clarke comes direct from his bril- liant engagements in Philadelphia and Baltimore, where he is a great favorite both with the press and the public. He brings with him the entire scenic equip ment which renders his metropolitan en- agreements notable for the artistic man. ner in which he stages and mounts his plays.
 At matinee on Wednesday David Garrick' preceded by Barbara will be given. There will be no performance Wednesday night.

Next Friday and Saturday and Satur- day matinee, at the Jefferson Theatre, the Charles Frohman production of 'aThe Little Minister will be the bill This is the only play foundered on the novel of the same name that has the approval and endorsement of J. M. Barrie, the au- thor of the novel. In criticising the play the Atlanta Constitution said:
 'It was not a large audience that wit messed the performance of '"The Little Minister" at the Grand last evening but what was lacking in numbers was made up in appreciation Barrie's clever story was satisfactorily interpreted by the com pany. of which Frances Stevens happens to be the star.
 'sThe company which presented the play last evening has some clever and capa- ble actors among it's members. Some of the players have thankless parts, it Is true. and seem to be put upon the stage merely to fill in gaps. but they manage to make the best of the situation. Miss Stevens as the tantalizing Lady Babbie, of course, came in for the major share of the honors of the evening Her concep- tion of the difficult role of the Gypsy girl was admirable.
