Society Circus Said to Have
Created Much Amusement for
People Who Attended.
1T WAS TO LAUGH.
Jockeys Said to have been Worth Price Of
AdmissiOn-The Strong Maa was Pow
erfuIIy Indeed Professional Part De-
CIared to be up to Snuff in every Par
ticuIar

The society circus, from all accounts
was great success last night. It is
said the local men succeeded in dis
tinguishing themselves in their sever
al parts and created a great deal of
amusement. The professional part Of
the circus is also reported as being
fully uD to the mark and some very
clever things were performed.
Mayor Seaman and Postmaster Tice,
as ringmasters, did their part very
well, it is said, and some of the other
features were well worth seeing. In
an interview with one who was there,
this morning, reporter of the Even
ing News was able to learn that to see
the jockeys, who were William Noe,
A. Crouthamel, DR.. f. O. Henry, O.
f. Eilert, J. J. Cunningham and e.
j. Mccormick, was we'll worth the
price of admission, and William Files
as Buffalo Bill, was simply great.
DR.. Crowther, who was the strong
man, put all rivals in the shade and
he should be secured by the freehold
ers to lift the new drawbridge in
place.
The parts taken by the professionals,
according to the News informant,
were very good. The looping -the-loop

PreSSerS Appoint Committee to
Wait on Superintendent Of
Atlantic Terra Gotta.
CLAIM NO STRIKE.
Acting Superintends Mt Says he Does not
Need all, but if Some Of them Wanted
to Return he Would EndeaVOr to Place
Some of Them-S Securing Work Else
where.

Yesterday afternoon a committee,
appointed by the Pressers and Finish
ers union, called upon Mr.. Thrall,
the superintendent of the Atlantic
Terra Gotta works in Tottenville, to
talk of the prospects of the men going
back to work. When member of the
committee was seen by News report
er this morning he said:
We went to Tottenville and after
getting an audience with Mr.. Thrall
we explained to him that we had
come to see him in regard to making
some settlement of the strike. RWhen
we had finished he told us that he did
not consider it strike at all as all of
the men had resigned their positions
and left the shop voluntarily. He
said the company had plenty of men
to do their work, and was getting
along very nicely. AS for taking all
the men back, he said he did not think
he needed so many pressers at once,
but if few of the old hands wished
to come back he would see what he
could do for them. -
The pressers refuse to accept these
terms and are as firm as ever. They
claim that unless they are taken back
in a body they will never return to
t le Atlantic, Many of them are Sc
curing work with other concerns, and
as this is busy time of the year they
all hope soon to be employed in other
shops.

ROADS AND BRIDGES.
The court ordered Il change in
the method of working the county
roads by adopting Sees. COCOA to
96962 of the Session Acts of 1901
in lieu of Sec. 9424 to 944j K. =.
1899, under which the working of
the county roads is now operated.
The new government of the county
roads will necessitate many changes.
1t will change the boundaries of
the road districts from the present
districts Of not more than nine
miles square to districts composed
of from ONE to six school districts
and bounded by the boundaries of
the school districts, so that the
road districts will be identical with
the school districts. Instead of
the three Commissioners now ap.
pointed by the County Court for
each road district, there will be
one Road Ovcrsccr from each dis
Itirt, elected annually by the tax
paving citizen of that district. The
new law also provides TINT the
kOnd OyerSecr cannot hire his own
team to work on the road. In
other respects the two laws mr
about the same.
The court made an order, on the
petition If NJ Hawkins. W \. Po-
lite ct al to permit the National

Hewitt's Nimble Wit.

From the New York Times.
 The late Abram s. Hewitt had a very nimble wit and dearly loved joke. He was once a guest at dinner which ln- cluded the late Recorder Snythe and Senator Evarts. The recorder vas polk ing fun at the senator, and, adjusting his eyeglasses. read from newspaper clipping what pufpbrted to be sentence from a recent speech made by the sem ator, but was in lfeality wholly fictitious -as the recorder knew quite we'll At it's conclusion the laugh was long and hearty at MT Evarts' expense. and no one laughed longer and heartier than the senator himself
 As soon as the laughter had subsided MT Hewitt suddenly leaned across tho table, and, looking rather sternly into the smiling face of the recorder said, in a wel-assumed tone of reproach:
 That certainly is remarkable sen tence your honor. but criticism of it does not come well from you if today's news papers are to be delivered. for they con- tain sentence of much greater length which is attributed to you"
 "Why-why-how is that, Mir Hewitt ?'' inquired the recorder, with considerable confusion.
 Because" said MT. Hewitt, with the which always accompanied his best say which always accompanied his best say ings, you are there quoted as utterine q sentence that was to last through the whole life of the prisoner"
