ADVERTISING A CIRCUS.


The advertising of a circus is one of its
most interesting features. Advance agents
of the F~orepangh & Sells Brothers COM
bination are responsible for the statement
that they annually paste or distribute be-
tween ten and twelve million pieces of adj
vertising paper. 1t is the method by which
this vast amount of paper is spread to the
public gaze that is most interesting.
The advertising of a circus is divided
between three advance cars. One of these
travels three weeks to n day ahead of the
show, the second one is two weeks ahead
and the third car goes one week ahead.
Each crew has "a different task TO perform,
and a vast amount OF labor is involved.
The first car crew, which is composed of
about thirty billposters and a manager,
bills the town and the country roads lead
ing out OF the point where the show is to be
given. Several photographers and pro-
examiners decorate the windows of business
places with rich and attractive Autographs
and visit a great many residences and leave
a slKteen-page courier containing elegant
half-tone drawings Of prominent circus
features.
A week later the city IS visited by the
second car, sometimes known as the lex
cursiOn' car. Men are sent on every out
going train to bill the smaller towns on
the railroads for thirty To forty miles
around. They have completed their task by
dusk and then return to the central point In
time 10 catch their car. which then de-
parts for the next city on the route.
One week before the date OF the show
the third car makes its appearance TO
freshen the paper display wherever il has
been damage by the weather clements.
and TO complete whatever work the other
crews may nave overlooked in their rush.
In every city several teams are used to
cover the country routes and the city
bill boards. Paste Is manufactured on the
car. which Is provided with an engine and
boiler. Ten barrels of flour are consumed
Cdily by each car for paste.

PRISONERS BRIEF FREEDOM.
Detective Morgan treated Excitement
but Got His Man.

81 don't care what you say, / got the
man." said Detective Morgan yesterday
when fellow-oficers were having fun at his
expense because he had a prisoner get away
from him.
Morgan had arrested a man, John Ed
wards, who gave the name of Louis Butter
field. at Thirtieth and Illinois streets. He
started with him on a street car for police
headquarters. He was sitting with one arm
on the back Of the seat and partly around
the prisoner. At Illinois and st. Clair
streets he made a dash for the door. Nor
gan tripped on an umbrella and could not
get out. He drew his revolver and fired
from the car window at the fugitive, who,
then jumped off the car, and, seeing a num-
Der of men riding bicycles, yelled Muir
DER and told the men to get him" as ne
had Just killed a man." There was much
excitement. and within a few seconds about
twenty men and boys took after Edwards.
He was caught at Capitol avenue and
Pratt streets by a negro, who took in the
situation and stopped him as he was about
TO pass. At headquarters he was charged
with grand larceny. which was the theft
OF a COW. lie had been at the Interstate
stockyards TO sell a cow. On being ques-
toned, his answers regarding his own
ership were not satisfactory, and he was
him. He did not go back. but sent a mes
senger boy, whom he told TO meet him at
Illinois and Thirtieth streets. The members
OF the Standard Live Stock and Commission
Company, TO whom he had taken the ami
NAL. telephoned to police headquarters. and
Morgan followed the boy. Edwards said he
was selling the COW at the instance of some
man who had given the name of Ed Will
liams. but whom he did not know well.
Later he admitted that his name was not
Butterfeld. and that he alone stole the
cow from a lot on the west side of Senate
Avenue, 5 north of Thirty-eighth street; He
married only a few days ago.

PROF. ABBOTT DROWNED
HIS BODY FOUND IN RIVER NEAR
BROAD RIPPLE THIS MORNING.
He Hired n Doat the Evening Before
Soon To BE Married-POpu-
lar at Butler.

Prof. Edgar w. Abbott was absent yes
terday morning at Butler College when the
hour for his language class came. He had
not been seen about the college during the
morning and inquiry as to his whereabouts
was instituted. A few minutes later a
message from Broad Ripple TO the college
gave the nformation that his lifeless body
had been found in the river above the park
about II O'Clock by a. Spence and A s.
Metzger, Of the launch Isabella. The body
was nude and his clothing was found in a
boat on the river bank only a few feet
away.
A party Of campers in coming down the
river thought they recognized a human
form in the river as they passed and told
the men on the launch about 1t.
J. d. Sullivan, who took a boat and went
after the body. said Abbott had hired the
boat about Z o'clock In the evening, sign
ing a slip with his name and stating there
ON that the boat was for the use of lone
person"
Prof. Abbott was very popular at Butler
College, where he had been for two years
and the announcement of his death in such
a manner caused considerable excitement.
AS soon as the identity of the body had
been clearly established. President Butler
made arrangements for having the remains
brought 10 the city. being accompanied by
a number Of friends. who went at once to
Broad Ripple. There is among those init
mately acquainted with Prof. Abbott no
thought of his having committed suicide
by drowning. Death is thought to have re-
suited from an attack OF cramps soon after
he entered the water 10 battle.
He was thirty years of age and came
here from Chicago University, where he
had studied and lectured. He had lived at
Lebanon. but regarded Chicago as his
home, his parents residing there. He has
several brothers and sisters and three
uncles live in this city.
The announcement of his death was made
by telegram to Miss Clara f. Mcintyre, of
Lexington, Mass, who is a teacher at the
college, and to whom he was TO have been
married next month. No arrangements
have yet been made for the burial. his
friends waiting for word from relatives,
some of whom may come here.

FIRSTDAYATCAMP FACTION
LACK Of HOUSEHOLD GOODS CAUSED
SOME INCONVENIENCE.
Concerts That Were Planned Cannot
De Given-Bethany Opens
row-Holiness Meetings.

The first day in Camp Acton was devoid
of many Of the features which have marked
the opening day in previous seasons. Many
Of the arrangements made by the members
Of the association miscarried, which proved
a drawback. A great number OF people
moved in Monday and Tuesday and also
yesterday, expecting their household goods
on the free freight train, which was
scheduled to arrive Tuesday. No word was
received from ii and il is thought ii will
arrive this morning. Another drawback
this year is that the Big Four Railroad
Company will not stop its late trains at
night unless twenty-five passengers can be
secured from the park. 1t was planned oy
Mr.. Will L. Steeg. who has charge or the
music this year, to give a series or con-
certs on a large scale. The order issued by
the railroad company will make 1t neces-
sary, however, to change the plans 1or the
concerts. The cantata which was TO have
been given tomorrow night, has been
postponed indefinitely, owing TO this ORDER
and in its stead a special song service py
the members Of the Epworth League OF
Downey-avenue NJ. Z. Church, in Irving
ton, will be held.
1t was proposed, yesterday. that a petit
ton, signed by all the cottagers In the
park, be drawn UP and presented TO the
officials of the road asking them to rescind
their order and have the late trains stop
at the park.
The first religious service, which was the
keynote of the camp-meeting season, was
an eloquent sermon in the afternoon by the
Rev. C. w Tinsley, pastor of Broadway
M. Z. Church, this city. The immense
pavilion was crowded early and prior to the
hour for the sermon-3:30 o'clock-a song
service, led by Mrs. Tinsley, was given. The
Rev. Mr.. Tinsley took for his text the
thirty-frst verse of the fortieth chapter or
Isaiah: They that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; and they that
walk with the Lord shall not faint" He
said i'm part: The need of renewing
strength lies in two facts. First, failure to
observe the laws of spiritual life-the loss
of spiritual exhaustion, which is more COM
nor than nervous exhaustion. God never
falls out with the backslider. He is married
TO him. The second fact is that we are
finite. We cannot go forty days without
nourishment and live. The secret of true
worship is to recognize the presence of the
Lord. Often our impotence and nervous
ness have mistaken other voices for the
Lords. God speaks TO the people through
the Word and by the spirit and the spirit
is never contrary to the Word"
Last nights service consisted of a spe-
cial song service led by Mrs. c. w. Tinsley
Instead of Mr.. Steeg. To-day's programme
will consist of a reading of the history Of
the camp by President Dasheill at $3.50
o'clock. AT 7:45 o'clock a s~tereopticon lecture
will be given by the Rev. L. E. Kennedy.
His subject will be Queen of the Rockies"
