complained of sharp pain in the region
Of the heart and expired in few minutes.

The Circus.

Ringing Brothers. who conduct the
greatest circus maximus IN the world
today, will exhibit in this city on Friday,
August 10. 1904. This most mammoth
aggregation, which eclipses anything Of
its kind on earth, is quite departure
to the average everyday circus and its
fierce accompaniment. inasmuch as it is
the only exception where such attrac.
tons are wholly free from all objection.
able features. No short change racket.
she'll games, or other other thieving
:ontrivances are permitted by Kinylings
to infest their business.
The circus of today is ponderous
affair. compared to that of forty years
ago. but there is doubt about its ability
to cater more successfully to tastes of
the small boy. Forty years ago the
circus travelled over the country in
wagons. and there were not many
wagons needed, either. Half dozen
four-horse teams could haul the troupe
and the tent, and the sideshows. and as
there was but one circus ring and one
tent, the outfit was usually ready for
business within an hour after it struck
town. Everybody went to the circus
then as now: the older ones gong. Of
course. for the sole purpose Of bringing
the children. There was but one clown
at the opening of the performance. bu,
soon rudely behaved countryman. ap-
parently the worse tor liquor. would APP
pear at the entrance and denounce the
show as being a fzzle. He was ordered
out by the clown. but was finally per.
mitted to enter the ring and assisted
in mounting horse. the spectators ex-
pecting to see him break his neck. He
would then begin throwing off coats and
vests. until about sixteen suits of clothes
had been thrown into the ring. when the
acrobat IN tights discovered himself to
the audience. and the noisy. drunken
countryman of few minutes before
proved to be the best bareback rider''
of them all.
The circus now, with its three great
rings which bewilder the beholder, is the
outgrowth of the earlier times. and has
kept pace with the expansion of the
country.

BOTH ST. LOUIS CLUBS
REPORT THIS WEEK

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2S-Both the Browns
and Cardinals are due here this week the
tribe of Nichols coming Friday and that of
McAleer the following day. Most of the
players will be in the city. however be-
fore reporting day, and several are ex-
pected tomorrow. But few of the players
have made arrangements for accommoda-
tons here during the season. and the ball
players are facing the same problem which
will confront other visitors. To the visiting
clubs here this season the providing of
quarters will be a club problem only, and
the players will not have to do any worry
ing. To the st. Louis players it is differ
ent. While in their home cities the play
ers arc expected TO provide their own quar-
tiers. With the worlds fair rush il is going
10 cost the players mere than usual and
the latter will not be able TO arrange mat
ters as conveniently as heretofore. That
is why most of them will get along early
this week in order to look after rooms
and board.
Reporting time is always interesting on
account of the new faces. and there will be
enough on both teams this year to make
this the case. Both Nichols and McAleer
will have men they may not even have
seen This Is particularly true of Nichols.
The new manager of the Cardinals will
need an introduction 10 most Of his players.
and he viii also have a chance TO make
the acquaintance of some mon he has not
met in years. The stay OF both teams here
will be brief. the Cardinals being scheduled
will follow on Monday. Then the reports
from the South will keep the interest alive
until the two teams tackle each other in
