UNCLE sAM's GIRL ARMY.
Five Thousand Young Women Work at Typewriters for Him
 Every Day.

5 From eight o'clock in the morning until close to six in the evening there are 5000 typewriters grinding out let ters for the United States government. During these hours there are, of course, 5000 typewriter girls busily hammer ing the machines, says the Chicago Tribunte.
 Uncle Sam is the largest employer of typists in the country and should be the patron saint of the typewriter girl. The amount of manuscript his workers turn out would make even Clyde Fitch look dizzy.
 Uncle Sam is the incest kind of man for typewriter girls to work for. He pays large salaries and he supplies his workers with everything they want. If girl expresses a preference for cer- tain kind of a.machine she gets it. She does not have to sit, down and try to pound a typewriter she does not like.
 Whenever a new typewriter girl is employed in one of the departments she names the machine and it is pur- chased for her.

VALUABLE ANIMALS WITH THE CIRCUS.
Barnum and Baeys Show Carries the Only Complete Menagees
 the World

The London and continental papers were a unit in pronouncing the collec- tion of rare wild beasts and curious animals with the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth to be not only larger but better than any geological garden, and that there are animals in. the exhibition that were never seen i'll captivity before. There are rare crea- tures from almost every country on the face of the globe. There are harnessed antelopes, Niger antelopes, elands, dater-bok, addis, water-hog, Malay tapirs, two splendid giraffes, baby ele- phant and mother, smallest horse in the world, team of four zebras, bridled gnu, blue-nosed mandrill cassowary, and one big, full grown hippopotamus, all of which are stated as not to be on exhibi- tion anywhere else. Lovers of animals will find much to marvel at, for there are actually three herds of performing elephants, twenty eight in all. All the beasts in the menageries are properly classified and exhibited in elegant cages. which not only permit an excel lent view of the, inmates, but which bear signs telling the species of the ani- rnals and the country they came from
 The Barnun & Bailey menageries have long been known as among the best in

the world, and are claimed to be not only that, but positively the only ones that are complete. Of the performers in the three rings, three stages and hip- podrome track, it is asserted with equal positiveness that they are far and be- yond anything hitherto seen, and com- prise everything startling and sensa- tional. Nearly 100 horses are seen in three rings at one time performing clever and amazing tricks Cyclo, the kinetic demon, performs his death-de- flying deed twice daily, and in defiance of the laws of gravitation as well, and other acts of equally as novel character are seen on the ground, in the air, and on the backs of speeding horses, so that the claim which is made to super excellence in everything is more than well founded. The freaks alone are a whole show, while the exhibition of miniature warships is most instructive and interesting. One thing Barnum & Bailey never have done-advertise a feature that they did not possess. It stands to reason then the show is what 1t has always shown itself to be, the greatest show on earth, Look for pa rade tomorrow forenoon and two shows, afternoon and evening.

PLANT WITH DEADLY oDoR.
Sumatra and Java Have Vegetable Products That Dissemin-
 ate Death.

There are criminals among plants as we'll as among animals and human be- tngs. Those that have the most sinister reputation are known as death plants, which are found only in the volcanic districts of Java and Sumatra, says Nature. The plants appearance quite bellies it's name, for it is really very att tractive. being 8 low growing shrub with long thorny stems covered with beautiful broad leaves. The upper sur face of these leaves is a vivid emerald, while the lower surface is a brilliant scarlet. The flowers are great white bell-shaped blossoms, which exhale a sweet and deadly perfume.
 The death plant grows in the most fertile spots, but all about it the ground becomes barren of vegetation and neither bird nor beast may come within a wide radius of it. They know better, but rash man, with no warning instinct to guide him, will occasionally finger too long in it's vicinity, enchant- ed by it's delicious and heavy fragrance. until he experiences the distressing ef- fleets of his inprudence-a blindine headache, which. if he still remains, will be followed by temporary deaf ness, convulsionsiof muscles of the face and insensibility.

Tomorrow is Barnum & Bailey day an Waterbury. The big show, with it's five long trains of cars, will arrive in the city at an early hour, and as rap- idly as possible the paraphernalia will be transferred to the exposition grounds at the base ball park, the city of tents erected and preparations com pleted for the gorgeous preliminary street parade and the two perform ances that are to follow. There will be much of interest tozbe seen on the show grounds. The work of erecting the tents is one that requires vast amount of ability and energy, ana the celerity with which it is accomplished is a constant source of astonishment. JAS fast as the tents go up the work of arranging the interiors for the exhi- bitfons will be pushed to completion. This involves the placing of the cages and exhibitional platforms in the me- nagerie pavilion, the setting of the wooden rings and erection of the aerial rigging and seats in the great hippodrome tent, and thousand other details that no one but a circus man can appreciate. The 800 horses owned by the show will be housed" in two large tents, and will be open for in spection all day.
 Circus day will be inaugurated with what is universally declared to be the most gorgeous free street parade ever seen in this country. It will be Il treat to all rsEsons, but especially to the little folks. to see the novel fea lures especially designed for this stu pendous and substantial affair The word novel is used advisedly, for there are twenty-nine of the most elegant and costly floats and triumphal char lots ever devised, which typify the five continents of the world and the people inhabiting them. They also contain many tableux vivants, the figures cor rectlg costumed in the national dress of nearly all the nations on earth, while the teams of splendid horses at tached to them are accompanied by outriders, similarly attired, represent ing some special uniform of the na- lions. One of these huge floats re- quires team of forty elegantly match ed horses and is driven by one man. Resides these there will be many ele- phants, camels, Roman racing chariots of the same character as those used in the days of Pharoah, mounted cava- Hers, ladies and performers, displays of open dens of wild animals, carved golden cages of rare beasts, allegorical fchariots Illustrating children's fairy tales, nursery rhymes and fables, and myriad of new features never seen i'll H parade or anywhere else.

Intention Only to DeDort SOvereiEna.
 BELGRADE, Servia, June 29.--King Peter attended the services at the ca- thedral without escort. The official ac- count of the recent assassinations. based on an investigation made by the war minister, is expected to be pulp Iished shortly. It is understood that 1t will say that the conspirators did not intend to kill their majesties, but only to deport them, but they were melted to the murder by the attack of Lieuten- ant Petrovics, the kings secretary, who fired the first shot. It appears that it was the king of Greece and not the king of Italy who sent his congratula- tions to King Peter on Saturday.

BILJBAoss BIG WRECK.
Spanish Mail Train Goes Into the
 Neierilla River.


 MADRID, June 2o.-Fourteen bod ies and fifty injured persons have been extricated from the wreck of Bilbao train which was overturned at Neje- rilla river late Satt&day night.
 According to oIcial information, ninety persons were killed and one hundred seriously injured. Many of the latter will die. Of the 300 passengers on the train it is stated that only six escaped unhurt.
 The train, which was composed of two engines and sixteen coaches, was crossing the bridge when the coup lings between the engines broke. The second engine left the track and fell, followed by the entire train, into the bed Of the river. Fortunately the wa ter was low,
 The nearest medical attendance was mile and half distant.
 The train fell fifty feet from the bridge to the river bed, the coaches piling up in a mass of splintered wood and ironwork. The scene is described as horrifying.
 Many corpses were carried down the stream, which was actually reddened with blood. It was found impossible to extricate numbers of the injured who were pinioned under the wreck age. A railway guard was arrested In the act of robbing the dead and mar rowly escaped lynching.
 It is believed that the official figures underestimate the number of the killed, some accounts giving the number of dead as 100. The full extent of the catastrophe will only be known when the wreckage has been cleared away.

PRISONER GETS % YEARS.
VIII Adams Convicted for His
Wholesale Murder Attempt.

Wholesale Murder Attempt.
Brunswick, Ga, June 2.-In the Su-
perior Court yesteday, Will Adams,
the negro who poisoned a number of
prominent people at a social party
few weeks ago. was arraigned and
sentenced to twenty-five years in the
penitentiary.
He pleaded guilty to the charge, there
being three cases against him. but
there could have been sixteen, as that
is the number of persons that he poi
soned He stated that he placed Rough
on Rats in the ice cream to poison the
cook and not the guests at the party,
but this tale is not believed to be true.
The party was given at the residence
of Mrs. ]. X. Nightingale, one of the
most prominent families in the city.
Eighteen or twenty guests were pres
ent, and the following morning a num-
Der became suddenly i'll. An investi-
cation revealed that they had been
poisoned. The police department was
at once notified, and late in the after
noon succeeded in placing the negro
in Jail. 1t was discovered that he had
purchased Rough on Rats, slipped into
the residence of Mrs. Nightingale and
placed the poisonous drug in the ice
cream, which he knew would be serV-
ed at the entertainment. A number of
the guests were i'll for several days,
but they all recovered.
Joe Story, the white man who has
been confined in Jail for two years on
the charge of killing Hamp Shriver,
also white, and who has twice before
faced jury both times a mistrial be-
ing declared, will be arraigned again
tomorrow. 1t is generally thought
that it will be difficult to secure a jury.
