SUNDAY CLOSING IN SALEM.
City Council of the Capital Will En-
force Better Morals.

Salem, Feb. 2S.-The' much-talked-
Of and much-postponed saloon ordi-
nance is now law and Salem is a
closed town so far as t5e saloons and
Sunday is concerned.
The ordinance was brought up at
the regular meeting of the city coun-
ell last night and passed with but
one dissenting vote. Alderman Good
ale being opposed to the measure.
The principal feature of the bill
is the requirement that all saloons
shall be closed on Sunday and that a
second conviction for violation of this
ordinance shall result in the forfeit
ure of license. An effort was made
to pass a substitute bill which would
not make a license subject to forfeit
ure under any conditions, but this
measure failed to receive the en-
dorsement of the councilmen.

BIG CROWDS IN CANADA.

Sells & Downs Circus Has Made Sue
cessfuI Tour of New Brunswick.
The Sells & Downs circus has been
making a profitable tour of New Bruins
wick.
The Fredericton Daily Cleaner says:
Never before in the history of Fred
ericton was there such an immense
crowd of people in this city for circus
day. Early yesterday the crowd began
to gather in the city from the country.
They came in carriages, in farm
wagons, in trains and those who could
not get here any other way came on
foot. Then there was the crowd that
came in boats. The river boats did a
rafting business, and will be many dol
lars richer as the result of the big Sells
& Downs circus being in Fredericton.
This morning the crowd continued to
come The mills in the city and at
Marysville closed down and everybody
made it a point to get here for the
great Sells & Downs United Shows. Be
fore noon an excursion arrived here on
the steamer Aberdeen from down river
points. The boat was crowded and so
was the Springfield, which arrived here
a little after schedule time.
but now to get after something
more to the point. The greatest show
that has been in the Maritime Pro-
rived here in their trains at about s
o'clock or whereabouts and the crowd
that welcomed the circus to the city
was not made UP of small boys only.
There were in the crowd many people
who welcomed circuses a score or two
score of years ago and they were uni
versal in the opinion that never before
did such an entirely fine show come to
this city"
The St John Globe said: IF there Is
one thing more than another, besides the
excellence of the performance. that diff
ferentiates the Sells & Downs circus
from most others, it is in the attention
paid by the management to what might
be called the morale of the show. Court
esy and gentlernanly conduct are to be

among other things of assisting to make
the circus all the greater in the perfec-
ton of its ring and menagerie depart

the moral courage to go back ana ao-
nit his mistake. He had to walk six
blocks further to reach another. and
when he got home he was mad enough
to kick the old frame to pieces. He,
however, got it up on two old chairs
and began to tack on the wire. He
had the job half completed when Mrs.
Bowser came out to say:
THAT doesn't look to me like the
frame for this door. Are you sure
about it?"
ut may be the door to a hen house,

"You are either going into the house
and stay there, or do this job your
self. never saw such woman to

Mrs. Bowser retired, and Mr.. Bowser
took squint at the frame and the door
way. A very big doubt entered his
mind, but was at once driven out. Not
on his life would he admit that there
was a mistake. He finished lacking on
the wire and then set the frame in the
splitting red-hot English under his
breath. The frame was a foot too tail

That settled it. Mrs. Bowser could
not pack her trunk and go home to
her mother, and neither could she go
fishing alone. She simply had to stay
on and hope that Providence would take
a hand on her side. Mr.. Bowser hunted
around down cellar and found the frame
of an old screen door. 1t had no ear
marks by which he could identify it,
but he assumed that it belonged to
the kitchen doorway, and he started for
a hardware store to buy wire to tack
on. He was whistling blithely as he
went, but the whistle stopped short
when the dealer answered:
Eyes, we have plenty of wire screen.

''Why, the usual width for a door"

widths. Besides, what about the
