THE CIRCUS PARADE.
1t Was Witnessed by Crowds All
Along the Route.

Respondent with giIded chariots and
newly painted wagons, with bands playing
and banners flying, the street parade of
the Walter l.. Main new fashion plate cir
Gus gave to the people of Washington this
morning fair idea of the excellent amuse-
ment features that are in store for the
thousands that will attend the perform
ances today and tomorrow.
The big procession left the tented city at
14th and D streets at o'clock, and long
before that hour the streets along the adj
vertised itinerary were lined on either side
by crowd of expectant citizens The
small boy was in evidence, of course but
In the crowds were many gray-haired vet
Grams whose souls were fired with recol-
lections Of their youthful days when they
were wont to watch and wait for circus
day; where they carried water with light
heart in the hope of being rewarded with
an admission ticket.
Mr.. Main has made a special effort. to
have the parade one of the principal fea-
lures of the show, and how well he has
succeeded was attested by the favorable
comments heard on all sides. All the cages
and costumes are new this year. In fact,
the entire outfit, even the wagons, tents,
poles. ETC., was new with the beginning of
the spring campaign.
In the parade were two giant elephants,
which were received here yesterday direct
from Hagenbeck's, Hamburg, Germany. AS
ILLS WAS Inc uTSI Time ILdt tHSy had ever
participated in a street parade, extra pre-
cautions were taken to keep them under
thorough discipline. The huge animals
seemed to appreciate the situation and be-
haved with utmost decorum throughout the
tour Of the city. The dromedaries, fresh
importations for the menageries were also
for the first time on exhibition.
Mr.. Main must be congratulated upon
having collected suchfa fine aggregation Of
horses and ponies 1t is doubtful ii sleek
er lot Of animals was. ever seen in Wash
ington in a circus pageant. The parade
seemed to have peculiar interest for the
army of department. employees. At the
treasury interior and other government
buildings along the route the windows and
every place of vantage were occupied by
employees, who found the glittering caravan
and its concommitants restful diversion
from their labors. 8
The parade, taken as a whole, was one
of the largest and best that has been seen
in Washington for many day. This Is the
first visit Of the Walter L. Main show to
the national capital. This, afternoons per-
Torrance was preceded by free outdoor
exhibition, feature Of which was the div
ing Of a woman from a I1O0-foot tower
head downward into a net. The animal
tent was also opened free to the public A
large crowd was in attendance This free
exhibition will precede each performance.
The Walter L. Main show will give an
other performance this evening, also to-
morrow afternoon and evening.

Of its foremost lawyers. He had appeared
as counsel for nearly every large corpora
hon represented in Washington and in
many of the most notable law cases tried
in the District courts His holdings in To-
cal corporation properties were large. His
position, both professional and as bust
ness man was singularly enviable.
On the announcement of his illness the
interest of practically all the professional
men of the city was excited. From the
first his condition was regarded as grave.
During last week it was believed he could
not live, but hope was not abandoned until
this morning.
1t is probable the funeral will be marked
by an unusually large attendance The
Bar Association will feel his loss most
keenly and will very likely attend the SER
vices as body. Mr. Davidge's family con-
nections were large and prominent His
friends in Washington included nearly
all the men distinguished in the affairs of
the District, and most of them will desire
to pay to his memory every possible trib-
ute.

ACCUSED OF A UNIQUE THEFT.
Two Men Charged With Trying to
Steal Lumber.

"A unique robbery was nipped in the bud
last night when Policemen Jacobsen and
Murphy arrested James Coleman and
Louis Fitzhugh, negroes. charged with the
theft of horse, wagon. and quantity of
lumber, worth S2s1.32, from George A.
Shehan, the lumber merchant at Fifteenth
Street and Ohio Avenue northwest. Both
men were employed by Shehan. They are
held at the First precinct station.
Early in the night Coleman and Fitz-
hugh appeared at the lumber yard They
at once went to the stable where they
began to harness n horse to a wagon taken
from beneath a shed. The policemen saw
them at work and became suspicious.
After hitching the horse the animal was
driven into the lumber yard by Coleman
and the work of leading was begun. While
the negroes were at work the policemen
arrested both men. Coleman, it is said,
showed fight after his arrest, but was
locked up. Mr.. Shchan was notified Of the
arrests last night.
