SHIP SAFE.
MOhlcan Arrived In Dutch Har-
Dor Short Of Provisions.

Seattle, Wash, July 1l-The United
States training ship Mohican is safe She
arrived at Dutch Harbor In distress,
June 2S. after being out from Yokohama 30
days. When she arrived at Dutch Harbor
she was out OF fuel and the food supply
was running low In three days more
the problem OF finding sufficient food for
the young sailors on board would have
become serious. The fact that the ship
carried full complement of sails prob
ably saved her.
The Mohican left Yokohama bound for
Honolulu direct, but encountered head
winds that drove her of her course. She
was finally driven into the Great Circle
and brought up at Dutch Harbor. After
replenishing her supply of food and fuel
at Dutch Harbor the Mohican sailed on
June 30 for Honolulu, her original destina-
tion.

TIE CIRCUS
COMES
TO TOWN.
Mains Big Show Makes a
Fine Display on Parade
In This City.

Soon after midnight Saturday night the
big w. L. Mains circus rolled into town
from Fall River, where IL showed Satur-
day, and all day yesterday the big Fourth
street lot was q busy scene, and large
crowds congregated there all day long to
witness the work of getting up the tents
and other interesting sights that always
go with a circus.
This morning the usual street parade
was made and witnessed by a big con-
course OF people all along the line OF the
procession. the ranks being a dozen deep
along lower Westminster street, and
thousands viewing the show from other
points OF vantage.
The parade left the circus lot soon after
2 o'clock and proceeded down Eighth
street, North Main to Randall and down
Randall to North Main again. Market
square was traversed and then up West
Minister street, the pageant came headed
by two mounted knights IN shining armor
and accompanied by hundreds OF the
never missing small boys. who gazed at
the heroes and heroines on horseback
with never ending admiration.
Two bands OF music marked the ap-
proach of the show and then followed
long lines Of gaily dressed riders. both
male and female. on gorgeously equipped
steeds, all showing the brighter side OF life
in circus. An Egyptian girl. sitting
high on a camel led by an Arab IN gay
colors. came next and she was followed
by a queer team, four double-humped
camsis drawing a gaily painted wagon.
Then rolled along the massive animal
cages with their typical clatter. with the
hyenas. tigers, leopards and lions In full
view, the trainer of the king OF beasts
keeping his weather eye wide open.
A herd Of gigantic elephants. the leader
carrying q lady in large canopy. plod-
ded patiently along with trunks and tails
swinging In time to the music and keep
ing their places In line without word or
blow from attendants. and then more
knights and ladies and more enclosed
cages. giving all a sense OF curiosity as
to what existed on the inside.
The feature of greatest interest, es-
pecially to tn children, was the tiny
Shetland ponies with their monkey jock
eys hanging for dear life to their necks,
for all the world as Jockeys do In real
races.
The time-honored steam calliope brought
UP the rear OF the procession. but there
was one side show behind this. and that
was a hay rick with aorobats In disguise
doing all sorts OF stunts.
Up Westminster street to Winter, to
Broad, and down Weybosset the line of
march proceeded, and back TO the circus
ground between Fourth and Seventh
streets.
Two performances are on the program
today. the afternoon show at Q o'clock and
the evening performance at 8.

blown down, four fine mules being
killed by the falling timbers. Between
