SoUTE PIONEER GROUND

The coming of Sells and cras's United Shows to Birmingham for two perform anecs Monday. recalled to an old show man some fragments of knowledge con corning pioneer showmcn. and he said to an Ase-dcrald reporter: T think you will ind that a man by the name of William West was the first to introduce cireuses to the people of tlc United States The modern circus Is merely an up-te-date ar engagement of arcnic attractions as orig mated by tho Romans, though travelling bodies of entertainers existed long before the days of Rome. Mans first entertainer was Eve, you know. and they travelled out of the Garden of Eden to some place, ! forget where, as my memory regarding the genesis of the human race is not SC good as il is in respect to the gencsss of the ring. I regret to say.
 The First Tent Show.
 .sMeU. after West came Pepin and Bishard two Frenchmen, who erected Il building in Philadelphia. at the corner of Ninth and Walnut streets, where the woll-knawn Walnut Street Theatre now stands But that was for stationary cir GUS The first man to use tents and to give the show business it's present nomad- ic nature was gentleman with the or dinarv name of Brown. That was in 1875. and. by the way the first section he wis tied was the southern states. So the south was tho first stamping ground of the cir GUS horse John Lowlow used to say Bring in another horse!
 .'Levi J. North was d celebrated show man in those days, but North, SO far as l know. had no tent show. He had an amphitheatre in Chicago, and later went to England. He is said to have been the first bareback rider to turn somersault on horseback. He was worth d lot of money at one time, but lost it In politics. a game that I've always considered as bad as poker, except for ampsement.
 Rarnum's Mascot.
 'Barnum's first source of gain was an old nesress. 1O4 years old. who claimed to have been the nurse of George Wash ington. and Dan Rice made his first show money by exhibiting trained pig. James Bailey. whose shows are startling Europe, began life with the white tents as a biil Nposter and property man. ". w. Cole acSumulated little money in the mer- cha;fdise business and big fortune with that little in t1Ss show business.

MILLION DOLLAR fine

New York. May 23.-J. L. Overton.
state Game Protector, ralded the Arctic
freezing warehouse on West street to-
day. Overton received a report that
there were many game birds In cold
storage there. He found 2,100 birds in
two rooms on the second floor. The
birds found were snipe. woodcock.
partridge. quail. grouse. red-head duck
and canvasback duck. The possession
OF game birds at this season by any
one In the State OF New York or the
killing of such birds is misdemeanor.
The fine Is SEQ for the first offense and
s25 for each bird. As there were over
2.100 birds found. the company may be
called upon to pay a fine OF $4,000.
Overton searched only two rooms.
There are forty-seven more rooms,
which may contain more game birds.
It is thought that there are nearly 100,-
900 birds in the house. This would
make the warehouse people liable to
fines amounting to s2.500, 900 II the let
ter Of the law could be enforced.

NEW NAVY MONSTER.

New York. May pa special to the
Press from Washington says:
The Navy Department purposes to
construct the greatest fighting machine
ever foated. Rear Admiral Bowles
and the experts of the Naval Board be-
lieve that they can plan ship which
will be larger and have heavier firing
equipment and more formidable wal
qualities than any other ship ever built.
Preparation Of the plans is In response
to the program indicated at the last
session OF Congress, when no appro.
priatlon was made for new battleships.
but provision made for new plans.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
purposed tonnage of 10000 Is 1000 tons
more than any fighting ship built 50
far, the vessel will not draw more
water than ships now in our fleets and
possibly not as much as some OF the
larger battleships. Speed Is not 10 be
sacrificed by the new plans. but the
availability OF improved armor ma.
terial and new ideas in outlines will, II
is believed, permit the building of a
ship Of immense proportions, yet able
10 enter most OF the harbors Of the
world.

House Ticks Garbage
and Health Board

Yesterday afternoons session Of the
House was void of anything sensation.
al. 1t was a series of just plain talks.
The discussion centering around the
removal of garbage was probably the
most varied and protracted.
The government asked that si5.9UQ
be appropriated for the care and main
tenance of the odorless excavaturs
Mossman said he felt that the man
should receive raise Of $40 month
in their wages on account of the nature
of their work, and suggested that the
two items Of removing garbage and
Operating excavator" be combined
with a remuneration Of $76.6S0.
Dickey objected, saying that $4,000
would be sufficient provided that tho
excavators were self supporting. Moss
mans motion carried.
Prendergast, in discussing the m TX
inspector. made another one OF his
charges that have been so common Of
late. He stated that the milk inspector
was leagued with the big diaries, and
spent all his time in attempting to
