Harris Nickel Plate Show.

The w. II. Harris Nickel Plate show
arrived in this city this morning from
York, where it appeared to two big
audiences on Thursday, and is showing
at McGrannus park this afternoon and
evening. A street parade was given at
1890 o'clock, and it was very suitable
turnout for a popular-priced circus. A
chariot drawn by six Siberian camels,
an elephant and bagpipe players were
features of the parade. Over fifty
horses appeared in the demonstration.
The circus is one Of the old fashioned
kind, the performance being given in
one ring and is pronounced everywhere
the best Of the smaller shows on the
road. The attractions are all frstclass
and the performance is pleasing and
clean throughout The tent has O

Good Show.

The Harris Nickel Plato Circus gave
one OF its entertaining exhibitions in
this city Friday on the grounds north
side Of East High Street. The exhibit

acrobatic feats, etc, were some Of the
best ever shown in this city.

There is no greater stickler in this Dis

Der of a church that is blessed with a large
congregation, and something very unusual
must occur to prevent her appearance in
her regular seat twice every Sunday.
There is one little sin, however-if It is
allowable to call it Sin-that this devotee
to regular church service frequently allows
to get possession of her. and that is the
fault of taking furtive nap frequently
during the preachers discourse. 1t is not
because the sermon lacks either in instruc-
ton or interest. The pastor is noted for
his abilities and earnestness in the pulpit.
The fact is simply the good lady can't help
indulging in about forty winks occasionally
during the service.
