THE GREAT CIRCUS.

It Came, Was Seen, nnd 1t Conquered
 Twenty Thousand People Attended
 and Saw the Splendid Performenre.
 Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth" took possession of this city Saturday, and during its stay here was visited by 10000 people. young and old. Never has anything to equal it in the amusement line been seen in this city, and probably never will be until it's next visit. The big lot in West street, where the show was given, was trans formed into veritable city, and was the Mecca toward which all feet and eyes were turned. Acres of land was covered by mammoth tents of canvas, under which all kinds Of quaint and interesting sights could be seen. Un- der one of the smaller tents were fas- tened over 600 horses. Under another was the wild animals, quaint things and freaks. Another large tent was what is called the mess tent, where the hundreds of employees were fed. There was the main tent where the per- formance was given, the largest which has ever been raised in this city. In addition to all these were the black smith tent. the repair tent, the lighting tent, and the press tent. Nor should the side show tents be forgotten, as they covered a large amount of space. As for the performance enough praise cannot be given it. Never has any thing like it, in the circus line, been seen. Animals which had been so trained that they appeared to be almost human; acrobats and trapeze perform CTS who did wonderful feats of daring; bicycle ride who rode around the in- side walls of huge cage, the rider be- ing horizontal with the floor. There was also a ballet, with over a hundred women in it. whose dancing and sing ing was excellent. Nor should the clowns be forgotten. Never have any more funny ones or bigger bunch of them been seen here or elsewhere. One who performed with a trained rooster and trained hen called forth loud
 bursts of merriment and applause. The twenty performing elephants, the many beautiful horses, the bareback riding 1 the midgets, all were very interesting To attempt to particularize on any oi the multitude 0: events would be use 1 less as they were all excellent. A new l feature this year was on exhibition ir l the animal tent. It was one which cost l the owners thousands of dollars an6

GROWING BRIDGEPORT.
Population Now Over Eighty-Two

Population Now Over Eighty-Twc
 Thousand.
 Bridgeport's population is SIPS, a gain of 11,132 in three years.
 The Bridgeport Post remarks: The new figures show much larger popu- lation than has been estimated. The goal was 75,000. but the figures go far beyond that and reach S2,12S. This places Bridgeport, according to the off. cial record, as the second city in the state.
 When the last census was taken the population of Hartford was found to be 79,S50. Of course Hartford has also grown in the past three years, but off cially, at least, the city of Bridgeport now ranks in population next to New Haven.

To Make Good Bread

In making bread, as in everything else,
the little things determine the difference
between the good and the bad.
In cold weather the flour should be
warmed, so that flour, water and yeast
may be of uniform heat. If milk is used,
1t should be scalded first, and then allowed
TO cool Ito blood-heat. Cold and salt check
fermentation, and heat hastens it; there
fore the sponge may be governed by salt
and temperature. The dough should be
well covered to prevent air from forming
a crust. The bread Is ready for the oven
when the dent produced by pressing the
finger on the loaf will remain.
In making sponge or dough over night
always remember to use cold water in
summer and lukewarm water in winter.
See that the sponge lis thoroughly mixed.
Flour Of the best kind holds together in
mass when squeezed by the hand and
shows the impressions OF the fingers, and
even Of the marks of the skin, much long
er than when 1T is bad or adulterated. The
dough made with good -four is very gluey
ductile and elastic, easy to be kneaded
and may be elongated, hattened anC
drawn in every direction without breaking
A etod rule for bread is as follows: In
small teacupful OF lukewarm water Thor
oughly dissolve one cake Of yeast. and nd,
Ito from one pint to one quart of water
luke-warm in winter cold in summer
Then add from one to two teaspoonful
each Of salt, sugar and 1ard-according t
quantity of water used-and stir in sifte,
flour enough to make a moderately stl
dough. Knead thoroughly, cover vel
and set in a moderately warm place, fre
from draught, to rise In the mornln
make into loaves and set them to rise
When we'll risen. bake i'm a moderate
quick oven. When baked, lean the Ioave
against something, cover with a clotl
and cool by contact with air On all sides

Fashions in Stockings

Black hosiery remains popular upon the
old lines Of weaving at very reasonable
rates. Fine openwork hose in black and to
match dress colors, are greatly in demand,
in cottons and in Isle thread or gauze Of
different grades. There is always harle-
quin style of stocking to please some
tastes, but these are exceptional. Fancy
hosiery, where a single color IS mixed with
white, and sometimes a tine Of some third
color is barely visible but enters into new
patterns and designs, are a good sale
among the school age contingent, as well
as where tastes are not quite up 10 the de-
mand Of fashion. Single colors, with oper
lace work half way up the leg, are per.
haps called for more generally than any.
thing else. But one needs always to add q
few black and few all-white pairs Of
hose TO the summer supply.

Care of Children

Delicate children should not be dressed
In black or in any dark colors, especially
in summer; neither should weakly adults.
White. and pale tints generally transmit
the chemical rays of the sun directly to
the skin and help TO make and keep the
red corpuscles i'm the ascendant.
Keep children out Of doors as much as
possible; it is the closely housed child who
becomes weak and anaemic. Have rainy
day suits as we'll as fair-weather suits, so
the children may not be deprived Of their
full and necessary amount Of fresh air.
Adults who go out in all winds and wealth
ers properly dressed rarely take cold.

WILL THE OLD WATER
WORKS Be ABANDONED?
People Wondering What VIII
Become of Structure Should
New Site Be Selected

The matter of locating a pumping station
for the proposed now water system a. at
present occupying the attention OF the
Board OF Water Commissioners and is
becoming the topic Of public conversation
Eneireer Davis. Of the United States fal-
trauion Company. which concern has the
contract for drawing up the plans Of the
new water plant suggested several days
ago that the new pumping staton be To-
Gated at the third dam along the Brandy
wine. This dam belongs TO the Water
Department. but some OF the members OF
the board thought that by going further
up tho stream better results could be OBJ
tained. The place suggested WIS Ban
croft'a dam at the quarry Of the old
Brandywine Granite Company.
"While there are many good points to be
considered by Locating the pumping sta.
0llon at either OF these places. there are
also other things against the move tina
wlll bear some Thought" said a citizeI
who is well posted on the matter yester
day. what would be the best argumen
against selecting the dam at the quarry,
continued the citizen, Us tho fact that tn
Bancroft Mills and the Augustine Fape
Mills derive considerable power from th
use OF water at that point"
I II this location should be decided upon
however, as a proper place for the pump
/ ing station the Water Department woul,
be obliged TO enter into an agreement Will
the Bancroft Company for the use o.
water from that FIRMS dam which woul,
undoubtedly cause a considerable outla,
OF money.
While either of.dhe two locations ar,
desirable inasmu0h as a pumping stauor
ait either place would be on much higher
ground than where the present plant +.
located, the question IS asked. what will
become OF the station at Brandywin,
bridge? Thousands of dollars have beer
spent by the city to make this plant ni
nearly perfect as possible and In the even.
Of q pumping station being located alonl
the upper Brandywine viii the present
plant be abandoned? This is the situation
as it now appears TO the people and nftel
the matter Is more thoroughly consid
cred .t may be that some means will b.
found 70 utilize the present plant TO goo,
advantage, thereby saving a great ex
pense.
