The circus Tuesday brought into
town the usual supply of pick-pockets
and tricksters. Three cases of at
tempted robbery are reported. One
old lady is said to have almost lost
her pocket book during the parade,
but her strength compelled the would

visitor from DeXterville, some say,
contributed $3.50 while watching the
performance. None of these cases
were reported to the police, however.
The tricksters reaped good harvest
and those who "Want something for
nothing" paid high tuition for the
lessons they learned.

The large crowd which witnessed the
performance is attributed to two things;
First, the show was free; second. it was
conducive to hand-holaing seances and
osculatOry pleasures among these in at
tendance. As a rule the spectators at
tended in box parties of two, although
persons who are acquainted with such
things state that one of the most en-
thusiastic eclipse parties in Topeka last
night sat around poker table in To-
pelxa hotel. Who got eclipsed in this in
stance is not known.
Topeka had no monopoly on this
eclipse, however. It was also seen in
Pauline and New York. In fact, it was
more or less generally observed by
young people and those who had tele-
scopes all over the United States. It
mad been given a good number of free
advance notices by the newspapers, and
these tended to add interest to the per-
Torrance
The eclipse reporter Of the State
Journal being married, only waited to
see that the show was pulled off as ad
vertised and then promptly went to
sleep. He is assured, however, by Col.
j. E. House. who is an authority on such
subjects, that the performance was
fully up to the advance notices. Colonel
House says it lasted for fully three
hours, and afforded opportunities Aor
hand-holding which have never been ex-
celled in Topeka
There is one good thing about eclipses:
they begin on time. The curtain goes
up at Ine TIME advertised on the pro-
grammes. There is no painful waiting
to adjust scenery which is too big for
the stage, nor for the star-in this case
it was the mcon-to get just the right
shade of pink on her cheeks, nor for
proper adjustment of artificial calves
among the chorus.

o'clock before it came out from the
shadow. For while, about the middle
of the eclipse. the moon looked out of

explained, is caused by the great shadow

happens to get on the opposite side of
the earth from the sun, if it is exactly
o0posite-which is not often-it runs
into the earth's shadow. This is what
happened last night and it so happened
that the United States was turned

to be turned that way.

RUSSIA COULDN'T
Has No Power to Revive the Treaty
of 1888.

Vienna, Oct. 1.-THE Austro-H ungar-

report telegraphed from Bucharest,
Roumania, to the London Daily Mail,
that Russia has proposed to Turkey
revival of the Unkiar-Skelessi treaty of
1898. which established a Russian all-
ance. under the terms of which the gov
ernment of Turkey undertook at Rus
sil's request to exclude in time of war
all foreign warships from the Black sea
while Russia undertook at Turkeys re-
quest to furnish her aid by land and
sea if necessary. 1t is pointed out at
the foreign office here that all the Eur
opean powers are concerned in the ex-
listing treaties governing the passage of
the Dardanelles by foreign warshios
and that it is impossible for Russia to
modify them without the consent of the
co-signa .ories.
