BOYS and their nome IS at ina

Topeka boys and their home is at lila
Quincy street.
For three years the brothers have
been doing their turn daily with the
Ringing Bros. circus and they were
seen in their startling and comic act
here last season by from fifteen to
those who witnessed the performance
did not know that the two brilliant per-
formers were Topeka boys, and that
they spent as much time as possible
each year at their home here.
Not much time is given them for
leisure, however. But every opportunity
is quickly taken advantage of. An in
cident in this connection serves to IL
lustrate. At the close of the last circus
season, Charles, who attends to the
business matters, made arrangements to
go to Paris for a number of weeks en-
gagement this winter. Louis agreed to
the plans at first, but as the time drew
near for them to cross the ocean he be-
gan to waver and finally absolutely re-
fused to go. Instead he came home to
Topeka. His brother looked around Tor
a time in an effort to secure some one
who could go on with their act, but
found only one man who could sub
stitute. He. however. did not want to
cross the ocean, and consequently the

resigned from the weather service dur

since then has made repeated efforts

HARD ON GAMBLING.
The Senate has passed a bill which is
intended to put stop to gambling in
bar-rooms and end any connivance that
may exist between saloons and the police
OF any city. This was Senator Aycock's
bill and its provisions are as follows:
Section l amends section 1043 of the
Code by inserting the word betting" and
striking out the word ten" and insert
ing $500; and striking out the word
more" and the words 80 days" and
inserting IS months
Section prevents any liquor
dealer convicted under section
1043 of the Cade from doing any liquor
business anywhere in North Caroiiua

Section makes it the duty of every pc
lice officer Ito make dili9eLt inquiry and
exercise constant watchfIlness IN detect

under oath TO the mayor or other chief
officer OF hts town whether such offences
are being committed and to give all the
facts or information within his knowledge
relating thereto the names of the person

violation, naming such other witnesses

Section four provides for penalty OF

in this section of The Code--one half
thereof to go to the person bringing the
suit and one-half to the school fund Of

The committee reported the kill unfa-
borably, but a minoritv report was sub
mitted by Senator's Ward and Travis.
Senator Aycock who had introduced
the measure, said that this bin
