lady swimmer of the world She is the
only swimmer who has ever swan the
English channel and she is the only
swimmer who has Hoated for 40 days

the star attractions of the carnival and

Miss Beckwith will daily give her
swimming exhibitions in huge tank
containing 10000 gallons of water. At
the age of four years she learned to
swim under the tutelage of her father,
who is a.professional swimmer and is
now at the head of the Royal Aquarium
London, Since that time she has
developed a grace and proficiency in
the water which have won her the
title of the lady wonder of the waters.
Her feat of swimming the English
channel when she was mere girl won
for her the first world wide notoriety
In 1884 she came to this country with
P. L. Barnum's circus. and for some
time attracted the admiration of the
public with her beauty and grace in
the water. The exhibition is most
novel and entertaining and no one can
afford to go away from the carnival
without witnessing it,

Turtles for London
Pass through Denison over Illinois
Central last SuulaY.

There passed throug Denison Sunday
night over the Illinois Central r. r.
a carload of sea turtles caught Off west
coast OF South America enroute to New
York for Shipment to England. Con-
signed to society of natural science
in London. One turtle said to be the
largest caught weighs over 1000 pounds
and estimates to be 1000 years old. The
turtles were loaded in an ordinary box
car the floor of which was covered with
straw. There we're probably 30 of these
enormous turtles all huddled together,
they ranged in weight from 400 pounds
up to 1000. Also collection of South
American Lizards of rare species. The
carload of sea and land creatures are
the fruit of a nine months cruise in the
waters Off the western coast of South
America by a steamer outfitted for the
purpose of capturing such creatures.
The attendant in charge was sleeping
on pallet on the carload in the center
of the car apparently oblivious of the
terrible looking animals surrounding
him and seemed to be as comfortable as
though he occupied feather bed.
