packed, and the applause which fol

in such fast order without waits. In
fact, the Campbell Bros show this
season is continuous round of feat

it. The work on the flying bars was
the most thrilling ever witnessed in
the city-simply succession of feats,
the very triumph of daring, coupled
with startling muscular endurance.
These feats were by the Flying Lev.
ans, and it is said there are only six
people in the world who make the
hazardous ventures.
Japs are always interesting and in
this show they were conspicuous in
numerous roles. In each. all eyes were
rivetted on them as if they were pos
sessed of some wierd charm. This
was especially true of the little Jap
girl whose mid air performances were
simply wonderful.
The Roberts family of acrobats ac

GRAPHOPHONE GRAFTERs.
New Mode Of Swindling Practiceo
Against the Honest Farmer.

Hamilton Independent: Word has
reached Hamilton of a swindle that
has been perretrated upon a number
OF farmers in North Dakota. whereby
the farmers have been swndled out
OF money which in the aggregate will
reach nearly a thousand dollars.
During the latter part of May. swind-
Ter No. | appeared among the farmers
ostensibly for the purpose of selling
them graphophones The farmer was
imporJuned to buy a graphophone at
500 and if he refused to do this he
was induced to sign an order for a
graphophone, the order specifying the
price to be So.
In the print however were other
conditions among which We're some to
the effect that the farmer would agree
to take a certain number of disks or
records at $40 apiece. and certain
number of horns at the same figure.
This order was brought by swindler
No. 2, who came along about two
weeks later h~i~ VII him doz-
en- of the above named articles and
the horns with s. graphophone, max
ing a total of $40 for which the far
mer had given the order.
Naturally enough, the farmer pro-
tested against having so much music
in his family at so eXorbitant price
and the swindler finally agreed to take
back the graphaphone, disks and horns
provided the farmer would pay the eX
penses already incurred. which ranged
all the way from $50 to $50 accord
ing to the ability of the swindler to
get the amount and the ability of the
farmer to pay the same after having
signed the note.
These notes are now turning up fol
collection at the banks, express of'ices
etc One farmer was caught for Slso
others for amounts ranging fom 81
to $50.
The graphaphone swindle is some
thing on the order of the lightning roc
deal. where the farmer orders a ilgh'
ming rod for so much. but the proVlS
ions are in fine print which run 'h
grand total up to handsome price.
The swindlers seem to be opera'ih

POPE LEo's PREDICTION.
Feels He Will Expire on Feast Day Of
CarmeIite Madonna.

Rome, July 14.-Pope Leo is credited
with having said recently:
If | am destined to die from this
Illness | feel | shall expire on Thurs
day, the feast day of the Carmelite
Madonna whom | specially worship"
This presentiment is remarkable be-
cause in a certain way it comedies
with the prophecy made in the Twelfth
century by ST. Malachy, the Bishop Of
Armagh, who predicted that Pope Leo
would be succeeded by pope SYM
boizing the motto, "lgnes Ardens"
(burning fire..
The Carmelite Madonna is the pat
roness of the Carmelite order, which
attributes its origin to the Prophet
Elijah. who ascended to heaven in a
chariot of fire. Besides, member
and protector of this order is Cardinal
Gotti, who is looked upon as the most
likely successor to the pontificate.
