HOW :. CIRCUS FAscINATEs.
A Little Story of Three Half-snaven
 Men Who Gazed.

From the Washington Post.
 Some people may turn up their noses at circuses, and many there are wno VIII say, 'Oh, I don't care for circuses; they are all alike when you have seen one vou have seen them all" Yet, for all that humanity affects to despise the much abused circus, few there are who can re- sist the temptation to rubber" at pass ing circus parade. A story Is related Of an incident that occurred In this city on the day that Barnum's circus showed here showing how weak human nature cannot resist the glitter and tinsel
 Just about the time the parade, on its way up Pennsylvania avenue toward the capitol, reached Twelfth street. and the band in the wagon drawn by some forty odd horses struck up "There'll Be Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight there were four we'll known Washingtonians, whom one would least expect of entertain ing any hankering for a circus parade, In the barbershop under the Raleigh. Three of them were being shaved, and the fourth was having his hands manicured. The barbers had finished one side of each cus toners face and the manicurist had one hand finished and ready to begin on the other of the fourth customer, when the sound of the music reached their ears. All four customers. asking the barbers and manicurist to desist, bolted from their seats and rushed out on the street to gaze at the clown, view the ''s10000 beauty. and listen to the dulcet notes of the steam calliope.
 But 1t was not the end of the farce The four men become so absorbed In the pa rade that they forgot all about their shay ing and manicur'ng, and when 1t was over went their several ways oblivious of what others were ~"--'rg. until kind friends took them in tow and called their attention to the one-sided condition of their counte- nances. One of the trio of half-shaved men went until evening before some one called attention to the fact that he ought to send the other side of his face to the barber shop.

Leading Lady'S Opinion.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 If the breathless round-eyed, matinee girl, who hangs on the words of the idol of her dreams and gasps in sympathy ev- cry time that he strides down to the foot lights, could hear the way the heroine of the play talks of the hero (who has been doing noble deeds through three acts for her), after she reaches her dressing room, she would either disenchanted with her hero or quite out of patience with the heroine.
 The heroine was resting after the matt nee the other day She had gone through such adventures as come to few, even in melodrania, and had not only died in the last act but was waited to heaven amid clouds and flowers in an electric-nghted anti-cllmax.
 What part" sighed the herone's friend, as she sniffod at the pinks on the dressing table and helped the leading lady to drink the beef tea that serves as pick me-up after each performance.
 Yes, what a part. and how badly he does it!' said the actress.
 T meant your part-noble, yirtuous and much tried heroine"
 He spells it," she said briefly.
 "Well. he isn't fiery adorer, but you wouldn't like it if he took all the applause would you? He belongs to the repressed school"
 Repression is a beautious thing in problem plays-it's a case of repression or suppression with most of them But when 1t comes to play in which a man starts out with a reputation as a warrior. and bloodthrsty one at that, and then. act by act, follows up this reputation with the staying of men and the rescuing of women, not to mention other valiant turns l think an actor ought to brace

comraue that tnelr cOlOnel nau Iallen HHu he, as senior officer, must take his place.
 The littfe confusion that had arisen whom Colonel Shipp was carried 10 the rear was soon checked, and Captain Wise had his command well in hand, showing con- spicuous gallantry, coolness and decision. When the battle was over Captain Wise had eight bullet holes in his clothes, though he could not remember how any of them came there. And he relates that both the tails of his long military coat were cut away. In the two large pockets were his pipe and tobacco pouch, and the pipe was broken, but piece of 1t re- maining. One of his fingers was tempor- arily injured, yet he could not recall how or when. And to his memory afterwards the whole action seemed to have occupied but few minutes, though he knew that 1t had been much longer. Of one thing, at the end. however, he had vivid real- ization--that was the need of a new pair of pants, as his own were so cut and torn. For this purpose he went over the battlefield to find what he lacked on the fallen forms of his erstwhile foes, He consoled himself for any impiety fin ''rob- bing the dead" with the reflection that he was taking what was no longer of any use to the lifeless wearer. Being very tall young fellow, 1t was some time be- fore he found a man of his own height, and then he discovered as he attempted the task, what a difficult thing 1t Is to take anything off of the rigid forms of the dead. He called a soldier to his as- sistance who, in turn appropriated the poor mans shoes. The pants were car ried to an old negro washerwoman to be well boiled and plunged" where ball had gone through them. and then Captain Wise had the best pair of pants in the whole battalion. Captain Wise has been for many years an honored citizen of Bal tjmore, Mir, where he is connected with timore, Md, where he is connected with reputation as an accomplished educator.

No. We have love scene together at the beginning of the play, to give the audi ence a taste of what Is to come-to get the house into the spirit of the tragedy about to be enacted. He is supposed to be madly in love with me What does he do? He sits and looks out Into space, drowning occasionally-and very carefully, so as not to disturb his grease-paint wrinkles-and that is how he expresses the deep emo- ton that in the succeeding act Is to tear the play to pieces
 T have most of the lines, to be sure, but he does the love making--or at least | fails to do it-so lamely and half-hearted- ly that find myself addressing the wings when I am swearing by the moon, sun and stars to cling to him till death.
 Tt Is not exactly inspiring to have l lover like that; naw Is 1t? And then when he Is wounded he won't even gasp, refuses absolutely to writhe and lies rigid and stoical and motionless and wordless, while l have to wee power him and wiring my hands, when would much rather give him a good hard thump to put some life into him.
 'I have asked him to be a little more responsive, but he simply doesn't know how. But today at the matinee he broke bis contract. He disturbed the peace of mind of the star to such an extent that she simply couldn't act. When he lay l dying on the battlefield and I bent over I him to kiss him for the last time he sud denly sighed. I suppose that should have been glad that he showed interest enough in the part to even sigh but he will never sigh again in my company. For when I bent over to kiss him I found he had been eating onons"
 But the matinee girls don't know. and they worship him for his bigness and beautifulness and his superb indifference to everything that exasperates the hero inc.

 Then there was some dreadful Rrumb- ling on the part of the unfortunates who had carriages, but who could not get to them because there was no awning from the theater to the curb.

The Siberian Railway.

NJ. Witte, minister of finance. has
made to the Russian government re-
port of an investigation into the i'm
portance of the Siberian railway. Much
of the report relates 10 colonization.
NJ. Witte recalls how for many years
a stream of emigrants flowed from
Russia into Siberia without the assist
the will. of the government. The stu
alton has now changed, difficulties are
70 longer placed in the way of elrisr2-
ton, and the committee of the Siberian
railway does What it can to direct and
organize it
The result has been that the annual
number of eInigrants reached .G0GOG
in 1896. and has remained more or less
at that level ever stree. Still NJ. Witte
does not think that enough has been
done. He points out that there is an
annual increase of 100000 in the pop
uIation of Russia. and that the scarcity
of land is making itself more and more
kaenly felt. Siberia Is very thinly pop
ulated, and recent researches have
shown that it contains an immense
amount of land suitable for colonial
ton There is thus no lack, in NJ.
Whites opinion, either of people who
wish to emigrate or OF land on which
to settle them, and he recommends
| that measures should be taken to
further the movement. Emigration
must be rendered easier, and attention
must he paid to the organization and
development of colonization. The re
port rocounts the engineering diff
culties encountered in construction,
and expresses admiration OF the ability
with which they have been oversome.
The belief is expressed that Dalry
Will become a center for internal and
International trade. but that Nladivo-
stok will eventually gain rather lose

railway.

It has been noted that Americans in

The territorial governor expresses

CITY NEWS
TO REGULATE EXHIBIT
OF LIVE STOCK AT FAIR
Rules of State Board as to Diseased
Animals Will Be Enforced.

In the acceptance of animals for ex-
hibition at the state fair the rules Of
the state live stock sanitary board will
be rigidly enforced, and any stock not
shipped in compliance with these rules
will be rejected.
To the end that there may be no
misunderstanding as to the require
ments, DR.. S. H. Ward, secretary Of the
live stock sanitary board, has just is
sued a circular notifying prospective
exhibitors that hogs intended for ex-
hibition at the fair must be Grated, or
shipped in other than stock cars. and
each shipment must be accompanied
by certificate that the animals were
free from disease of any kind when
shipped.
Dr. Ward says that hogs intended
for exhibition at the fair must not be
permitted to enter stock yards or to
be loaded at stock yards, and that any
hogs that have once entered railroad
shipping pens can be taken out of
them only for the purpose Of slaugh-
ter.
Commenting upon these regulations
DR.. Ward says he is convinced stock
men will recognize them as being for
their own projections; and will readily
see that they would jeopardiZe their
best interests by being careless.

have been living today, and five little
children would not have been deprived
of mothers care.
This is what the husband and faith
er, Ernest Honetschlager, ayers. and

S., 900 damages for failure to prompt
ly convey and delivers telegram that
he sent to a physician when his wife
was taken i'll.
According to the papers filed in the
district court yesterday the birth of a
child was imminent at the Honet-

8, and a telegram was filed to sum-
mon a physician at Springfield, Mimi,
seven miles from Golden. The tele-
gram was filed at 1890 on the morning
of the 3rd, but 1t did not reach the
physician until o'clock in the morn
ing. When the physician arrived an
hour later the woman was dead.
Unnecessary delay in the delivery of
