GEN. BATES REPORT.
Recommends Abolishment of Post Schools
 for Enlisted Men.

Washington Sept lg. - Ma1or-General John C. Bate. United States Army. com manding the Northern division, in his an nuaI report to the War Department says that the experience of many years is that no great public advantage is derived from post schools for enlisted men and that they should be conducted as night schools with permission for any soldier to attend who so desires.
 General Bate urges serious consideration of the question of assertions which continue to be quite general. General Bate says that inspection of different colleges. universities and other Institutions of learning within the limits of the division where an officer of the army has been detailed by the War De- partment for duty shows that the amount of military instruction given in the various institutions vary greatly, as does the mili- tary discipline imposed on the student.
 General Bate says that the officials at each of these schools should be given to understand that the detail of officer for duty there, will be continued only where inspections show that sufficient time and attention given 10 military instruc- tion to insure substantial results.

I is largely due to his alienation of
all attempts to impress his audience
with his own Importance and abil-
ity, in his efforts to please and al
low the genuinely contagious
humor of the man to accomplish re-
suits, which speak much stronger
than all affectedness or tiresome
posing of the would-be funny man,
and instantaneously meets with the
approba ton of an audience. There
is probably no harder task set a
comedian who makes his appear
ance following long first part pro-
gramme including many bright
and equally pleasing performers,
than that of monologue and top
ical song speciality. How puerile
and tiresome then the antics Of the
self-satisfied, "hand-me bou-
quet" imitator whose every effort
is to convey to his hearers his own
idea of his Importance rather than
the work in hand. Mr.. Hayes, for
getting his personally. in the me-
lange, condolences and musical
nonsense, makes it apparent that
he is there for the purpose of laugh
ter only, to provoke, if possible, a
feeling of friendly cheerfulness and
interest in the subject in hand,
rather than the performer; a sue
cess, told by the spontaneous ap-
plause which always recalls him,
is satisfaction enough that his
praises will be sung by others rath-
er than his own words and actions.

JOHN ROBINSON'S SHOW
Carries It's Own Electric Plant.

John Robinson's Shows open the
circus season here, where the big
grounds are in perfect condition for
two exhibitions, beginning Satur-
day, September 3.
The capacity of the big tents are
always tested during the Robinson
engagement, and if Uncle Henry
and Aunt Betsy desire much COM
fort and more peace of mind, it
would be best to allow the chill
dren to bring them to the afternoon
exhibitions, where the new mena-
gerie can be seen to a much better
advantage and more time given to
absorb the descriptive knowledge
so pleasantly unfolded by the gen.
tleinanly lecturers.
The white city is beautiful p C &.
ture on the green, and thousands OF
sight-seers will take advantage to
inspect this monster moving cara
van. The horse stables alone are
worth visiting to all lovers of the
gentle equine. for John Robinson's
"horse show is the talk of all
America; then the ponies, they
should be seen; also the culinary
department, where over six hum
dred people are served three times
daily. The blacksmith shops, the
electric light plant and a hundred
places will be found of interest.
Only work of an absolutely ne
cessary character is done on Sun
days. If the weather is fine and
the water is not too cold, the ele-
plants will be given q bath in the
river near the grounds.
Every one will see the vast i'm
provement and enlargement of this,
the Oldest and best of all the larg
tented aggregations.
Each department is so completely
filled with foreign and American
features as is capable of being
tranpsorted and handled in a salts
factory manner.
The new menagerie is vast col
lection of the earth S most interest
ing and marvellous wonders.
New cages, rolling stock equip
ment, all bright in gold and silver,
will be seen for the first time after
a full winters embellishments by
scores of expert artisans.
Many new and novel acts will at
tract attention in the big tent,
where hundreds of skilled perform
ers will vie in friendly contests for
supremacy.
The children will be deli ,b ted
with the miniature menae erie, with
boy trainers, drivers and care tax
ers.
The entire institution is so com
plete in it's immensely only a gen.
-eralization can be mentioned here
with. 1T
Nor has the circus depal tment
been neglected, for more special
feature acts will be offered than
ever before, enlivened with new
and amusing antics by over two
score of funny clowns.
