ARMY OPERATION.

Washington, Oct. 6-According to
the annual report of the psymaster
general, army expenditures decreased
during the past fiscal year s9ls,919,
as compared with the preceding year,
partly owing to the decrease in the
pay of the army and in part owing to
reduction Of claims for extra pay by
volunteers. The total expenditures Of
Paymsster General Bates were s62,-
523, 479. The paymasteI generals re.

.ablishment of a retired list for gov
eminent clerks, based on the deduc-
tion of small monthly sum from the
salary of each clerk.

TERDAY AT PARIS.

Paris, Oct. 6-The remains Of En-

with simple but impressive ceremo-
mics. II was such a funeral as Zols
himself would have wished, without
pomp, but with the serried ranks of
thousands of workingmen, many ao-

marching behind his coffin. Municipal
guards, mounted and on foot, lined
the route, but except for company
of infantry which rendered military
honors to the body as it was carried
from the house to the hearse. they
were there as guardians of order and
not as participants in the ceremony.

Walter L. Mains big circus rolled duiet- Iy into town yesterday morning and IL looked as if there was not an extra inch of room on the forty-three long cars so tightly packed was the circus parapher- nalia.
 Circus handling nowadays has como to be a well developed science which has recognized experts who earn even 8 larg- CT salary than the majority of perform CTS An outsider seldom hears their names. end they are never printed in big letters. but upon them the public depends as much as on the actors them selves that the big shows get about ana keep their promises.
 Ghe train arrived in Birmingham over the Alabama Great Southern railroad from Gadsden and the work of unload ing ard transporting the circus effects to the grounds at Avenue A and twenty sixth street began at once. There was a large crowd on the grounds all day and the attaches of the circus say that it was much larger Sunday audience than they are used to having.
 The stretching of the tents had pro- gressed almost to completion when the managers of the show decided that on ac- count of the low ground they would have to be moved And then the work of tearing down began and the tents were stretched several hundred yards from the original positions.
 The Main show is said to have many good and pleasing features. This circus has as fine stock as any show travelling and the management claims the best horses of any aggregation on the road. The show has received complimentary press notices in the southern cities 1t has visited within the past two weeks, and as some of the most conservative papers join in its praise, Birmingham may take for granted that MT. Main has a treat in store for everybody.
 With the show is J. D. Harrison, who worked as a printer in the old Age composing rooms. He is in charge of the private dining car of the train MT. liar rison says he worked on the Age, which is now the Age-Herald, in 1885, and that since then he has been in the show business.
 The circus will give morning and night performances today. at and D. m.' and a free street parade at 10 o'clock
 The parade will pass through the prin- | cipal streets over the usual route taken | by circuseS.
