present session:

To these we would add a seventh, the

Cuba, the Philippine currency, the Pan

during the short session. If congress

state of inefficiency that calls for some

out altogether the question of tariff re-

pected from the short session, except
the sadly lacking evidences of the right
intention.
AS to antitrust legislation, the Outlook
very moderately asks for nothing from
ton for the more efficient enforcement of
the Sherman antitrust law. The outlook
is good for the adoption of such legis-
lation, and we must credit the house with
giving us abundant evidence that it is
in earnest on the trust question.

Revell company.
Mrs. Eyster has lived many years in CAL

Cinnamon and promote temperance princi-
pies. The Chinese Quaker was a Chi

terested and who developed into a young
man of intelligence and high. moral princi-
pie and religious fervor. Whittier, the
Quaker poet, was deeply interested in
Sings career and several of his letters
are embodied in the story. Incidentally
various phases of Pacific coast Chinese
life are presented such as the enslave-
ment of Chinese women, which the author

This is one of the most interesting

better acquainted with the men, officers

army of to-day presents a strong contrast
in equipment and method. The author
begins with the origin Of the old army il

the forces, etc. Armed with fint-locA

FIFTY-THREE YEARS A JUDGE.
Judge Hansell of Thomas County IA
Veteran of the Bench.


Judge Barrow will be absent from the
city Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week. He will go to Thomas
willie, where he will hold court for
Judge Hansell. When Judge Barrow
returned yesterday he received a sec
ond request from Judge Hansell to
come to Townsville and hold court
for him. and last night he wrote the
venerable old judge that he would ac-
cede to his request.
The incident is interesting for more
than one reason. Judge Hansell who
is now in his seth year, was a school,
mate of Judge Barrow's father over
seventy years ago. He has been on
the bench for fifty-three years. All
his life long he was an intimate and
valued friend of Judge Barrow's faith
er, who died several years ago. That
he should now, when old age has over
taken him, call upon the son of a
schoolmate of seventy years ago to fill
his place temporarily on the bench, is
a most remarkable and unusual occur
renee
Judge HanseIl's term expires next
January. at which time he will be sue
ceeded by Hon. John r. Mitchell, who
was recently elected to fill the posi-
ton. Judge Hansell wore the ermine
when Judge Barrow was in the cradle
1t is with peculiar pleasure, then, that
the younger judge holds court for the
older one next week at ThomasviIfe.

CIRCUS COMES TOMORROW.
FOrepaugh-Selks Greatest Shows Ex-
hibit Here Then.


Forepaugh & Sells Bros Circus will
arrive here Saturday morning at 4
O'clock from Charleston, and will give
two performances, afternoon and night.
In all of the cities where the circus has
appeared during the past few weeks
the newspapers have been unstinted in
their praise, and the show is said to
be one of the best ever sent through
the South. The daring feat of Diavolo
in looping the loop on a bicycle is the
most wonderful feature of the enter
tainment.
The circus will arrive here via the
Atlantic Coast Line in four sections
and the cars will be hauled near the
show grounds. There Will be a big
street parade late in the morning. The
afternoon performance will begin at
p. M, and the night show will open at
8 o'clock. The doors will be opened
an hour before each performance.
Mr.. Bert Davis, representing Fore
paugh & Sells Bros, arrived in the
city last night to look after the circus
at this end. He says the parade will
be prompt in starting at about noon
hour, and everything will be put in
the street to give the public a free
show.
Nothing like Diavo1o's feat in looping
the loop on bicycle has ever been seen
around here before. Diavolo, whose
name in real life is r. B. Vandervert,
mounts small platform near the roof
of the tent to begin his perilous ride.
From this platform a narrow bicycle
path extends down by a steep grade
to the ground, then rises
again, forming a complete cir
Gle in the air. 1t spreads out. Down
this incline Diavolo rides, then up the
steep incline on the other side, around
on the inside of the circle, head down.
ward for a moment, and then down the
next incline into the ring. 1t is an
exhibition that will bring out the goose
flesh and make the hair rise on ones
head.
The circus appeared in Charlotte the
other day and concerning it tie OBJ
server said
ut is estimated that over 5000 people
saw the afternoon performance of the
Forepaugh- Sells Circus in this city and
the spectators were delighted with the
show. Crowds that came to see the
circus had been arriving for forty-eight
hours before the big tents were pitched
People camped out in all the vacant
lots in town, stopped at private resi-
dences and filled all the hotels. The
performance was just exactly what the
Forepaugh- combination had
promised. First and foremost there
was Diavolo, the wonder who makes
the perilous bicycle ride-the man
about whom many persons had felt nat
urally skeptical. But he made the dan
gerous trip, riding in the great circle
with the swiftness of a bird and Sc
reneness of a house fly. All the other
features were distinctly clean and good.

who comes out and talks to keep

A number of the naval stores fac
tors, those interested in the trover
suits filed in the United States Circuit
Court charging Savannah firms with
having received the product of pine
trees secured by trespassers on govern
ment lands in Florida, were asked yes
terday for an explanation of their po-
sition in these suits.
The explanation in each case was
that though the product had been han

1t was not purchased by the factors, but
merely handled on a commission basis.
Furthermore it is stated that the fac
tors were in ignorance of where or how
the stuff had been obtained, except in
one or two cases, and then only after
it had been sold and credited to the
account of the customer.
These facts will doubtless be set
forth in the answers to the suits which
are likely to be filed shortly, as the
suits are returnable Nov. 6.

thing to the show, was a brilliant at
traction and was alone worth the price
of admission. The horseback riding,
the acrobatic feats, the trapeze riding,
the elephant drill and the dozen and
one other stunts were all up to the
mark. This paper has held that almost
any circus Is worth seeing, and it is
only fair to add that the Forepaugh-
