Circus Bareback Riders.

A large number of the difficult acts
seen with the Great Wallace Show are
in danger of not being appreciated be-
cause of the ease with which they are
performed. One Of the chief diilicul-
ties that confront q manager of big
circus like the Wallace Shows, is the
scarcity of acrobatic esquestriennes.
The way to the pinnacle of fame in a
circus ring is difficult and discourage
ing. OF the girls who essay the feats
of clever rider not one in hundred
succeed, and only one in a hundred of
those who succeed ever attained prom
inence. Prominent in the coterie of
equestrienne celebrities with the Great
Wallace Shows is Miss Minnie Swee-
ney, In point of poise, grace, dash
and daring agility her riding simply de-
tfes all description. Nothing she does
looks difficult nor appears, indeed, to
effort. She is secure and as
much at home in her unstable position
on the heaving, bounding back of a
galloping horse, as is a society belle on
a ballroom floor. The cleverness Of
Miss Sweeney deceives the public and
makes it look easy, Any spectator who
attempsto initiate the work of this cele-
brity will soon have such a delusion
dispelled from their mind. The same
thing may be said of all the hundreds
Of performers with the Great Wallace
Show. Every act is 50 cleverly, care
fully and quickly executed that the
danger of the act is not apparent, and
this fact overcomes the sensational ten
dency which is distasteful to many.
The only fault with the Great Wal
lace Shows is that it has too much 60
ing on at thes same time, but the arrange
ment of the apparatus, paraphernalia
and seats is such that everyone can SEE
great deal more and get more salts
fOction out Of its performance than out
Of the ordinary show.
The Great Wallace Show will exhib-
it for one day only in johnson City on
Tuesday October 1st.

Scribner's Magazine for September
begins notable series of three arti-
eles, to run through all the fall num-
bers, giving in condensed and graph
ic way the history of "The United
States Army" as a fighting machine,
from Washington's assuming command
at cambridge to the capture Of Aguin-
aldo. The announcement of Major
General Francis v Green as the auth-
or of these articles will particularly
commend them to well-informed read
ers. General Green by descent and
by actual experience has the closest
connection with the Regular Army.
He is a collateral descent of General
Nrthaniel Greene of Revolutionary
fame and the son of General George S.
Greene who distinguished himself in
the Civil War, and he himself is o
West Pointer, a distinguished writer
on military subjects, and, as every
body will recall, received the surren-
der OF Manila. What General Greene
has written is not a history of wars,
but Narrative of the organization and
development Of the army. 1t is pc
culiarly appropriate at this time, when
the new army bill has just gone into
egect, to recall the preceding stages oI
its development. The narrative oi
course includes brilliant pen picture,
of great generals, and condensed an
graphic descriptions of their cam
paigns.

CODE PUBLICLY~DISCUSSED
TAFT COMMISSION HEARS VIEWS
on NEW BILL.

MANILA, January 19.-The public dis
cussion of the general code of government
for municipalities began today. Commits
sioner Dean G. Worcester outlined the bill
and explained the changes from the gem
eral orders of the military governor, under
which many local governments were oper-
ating. Commissioner Worcester offered
two amendments disqualifying from vot-
ing and holding office men who violate
their oath of American allegiance or who
remain in armed opposition after February.
The commission elucidated the taxation
features, referring to the benefits Of tax
ing lands and buildings, as against the
present special taxes on occupations and
industries
One-fourth of 1 per cent of proceeds Of
real estate assessments will be devoted to
public schools.
license theaters, places for liquor selling,
public conveyances, hotels and cock fight
ing, or to prohibit cock fighting, for the
first year, until the tax collections are avail
able.
Half of the internal revenue Of each mu-
nicipality will be paid into the municipal
treasures.
Commissioner Worcester did not enlarge
on the section confining the exemption of
church property to properties used exciu-
sively for religious, charitable or educa-
tional purposes. This much discussed fea-
ture received the approval of the adminis-
tration at Washington previous to the MAX
ing public of the bill.
The bill centralizes considerable response
biity in the provincial governments for the
establishment of which another bill is being
prepared.
The public discussion which is taking
place In the municipal hall is.proceeding by
sections. the natives participating.
