things as comfortable as possible for
the burden he was going to take
home with him.

The Basket Too Small.

Raymond was told that the basket
was not nearly large enough and as
proof he was shown the one in
which the infant was abandoned by
it's mother. He was informed also
that Mrs. Hill could not think of let
ting the baby go out in the night air.
Raymond assented to the force of
these objections TO his taking the
child home with him Immediately and
left the house of detention with the
assurance that he would bring his
mother with him in the morning and
that she would help him carry n
basket that would be big enough. He
urged Matron Hill not to let anybody
else have the baby. Before going he
looked long and earnestly and with
a sense of proprietorship at the re-
cumbent child. Again he appeared
TO be fully satisfied with the result of
the inspection.

LOOPING THE LOOP.
Diayolo's Famous Act Feature Of
Forepaugh-SeIls Circus.

Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
united shows are exploiting feature
this seaons which eclipses in point OF
sheer daring anything ever attempted
in any arena. 1t is the famous Diavolo
in "his looping the loop" on bicycle,
an act which created the profoundest
sensation in New York city aud Phila--
delphia and elected more praise and
was given more space in the metropoll-
tan press than any single act ever pre-
sented to the public.
Looping the loop is described as
danger deriding and death defylng,
which is as near correct as words can
make it. From the extreme height of
the canvas dome Diavolo makes a
thrilling descent down the narrow
plane on bicycle and the momentum
thus gained carries him around the
loop at terrific rate of speed. At
the top of the loop both the rider and
wheel are upside down and going at
the rate of 40 miles an hour. 1t is
a hair-raising act and one that all
should see, as it gives a practical
demonstration of the first scientific
lesson of youth-the swinging IN a
circle of a bucket full of water without
spilling. The date of the show here
is Thursday, Oct. %.

beautifully decorated and it was gen.
orally remarked that the decorations
surpassed in every way not only any
previous efforts Of Schwartz Bros, but
any similar event this city has known.
The store, as decorated for this festai
occasion, must be seen to be appreciated
and that it was appreciated was most
fully and completely testified to by
the enthusiastic praise bestowed by
the hundreds OF ladies who visited the
store during the morning and admir-
ingly inspected the great variety Of
hansdome goods on exhibition.
The millinery department., a new
departure for Schwartz Bros, came in
for a large share of attention and it
was crowded with ladies who seemed
never to tire of admiring the magnif-
cent, rich and stylish display of ex-
elusive exhi hibitions of imported pattern
hats and the most select and accepted
designs of the New York milliners
The opening was, from every point
Of view, a success and Schwartz Bros.
and their large corps of capable as
sistants who by their united efforts,
achieved SO signal success.
Those who have not visited the store,
should not fail to do so this evening,
or tomorrow morning before the de-
corations are removed.
