Circus Parades AboIished.

New York, April 15.-J. A. Bailey.
manager Of the Barnum & Bailey Cir
Gus, announced that the street paradea
will be omitted this year. The fact"
he says, that the show is nowitoo bim
to give street professions, the knowls
edge that the limit OF cars railroads
are willing to handle has been reach-
ed and the time required to place in
position the apparatus used in vari.
GUS features have been factors in
forcing this conclusion" A careful in>
vestigation has also led him to be-
lieve that the circus parade is no
longer popular. on account Of late ar
rivals of the show, inclement weather,

quent delay Of the afternoon perform

Feminine
Snapshots
Thoughts and Happenings
of Interest to
Women


There were all kinds Of a doleful
time in New York during the Il" and
subway strike, yet there were humor-
ous features too. While it was at its
deepest and darkest one green motor
man let a subway train land at a sta
tion with an awful ker-bump. 1t broke
windows, knocked passengers over and
caused a mild panic. Men seemed
greatly concerned lest women should
faint or go into Mysteries But while
men were struggling in a mass OF
bodies so thick nobody knew whose
legs and arms were whose one large
masculine person, terrified out of his
seven senses, squeezed himself in be-
side a seat and Immediately "fopped"
upon his knees and began TO pray des-
perately in an exaggerated British
cockney accent. Not a woman had
tainted, not a woman was overcome
with Mysteries, but when this large
man began his performance some wom-
en- and men as well who had been en-
tirely cool and calm before began to
be excited. What If death were inn
pendingg In the nick of time two or
three ablebodied men grabbed the pray
Ing one by the collar and yanked him
upon his feet. Whether the individuals
who thus rudely cut short the scene
considered the occasion was not des-
perate enough for such a resort or
whether they concluded a hysterical
masculine prayer in a broad cockney
accent would scare away more than it
would attract the invisible helpers"
or the theOsophists is not clear, but at
any rate, the vigorous action relieved
the situation, and men and women
alike laughed.
Those women who wear mourning
perpetually for lost friends and live
only in their remembrance are among

Miss Sarah Jackson Of Dearborn
county, Ind, appears TO have preju-
dices against the masculine sex. She
has lately made her will and left direc.

PATTERNS FROM THE LATEST
NEW YORK FASHIONS
Patterns For Lady's Spring Suit
by Martha Dean-Nos. 6255

with the advent of the spring season
the selection OF a pretty, suitable street
suit is one of the most important dress
questions of the hour. woman may do
without house dnesscs. without a ball
gown, but she must have a street suit
It IS the one by which she is seen oftenest
by her family and friends. and it is in a
measure the one suit by which her sar-
torial reputation is s1udged. This being So
Il Is we'll to have. first. a new. UP to date
model. and, second.if the suit is TO be made
at home, a style that is not beyond the
skill OF a home dressmaker. Such a model
is shown today. The coat is in half fitting
style and cut in such manner as to make
adjustment easiest. The seams in front
and back extend to the armhole instead
of the shoulder. and the back II adjusted
by straps. The sleeve IS the regular coat
style as are the collar and pockets. The
coat which is a straight front. fastens
with a fly, so there are no buttonholes to
work and no fancy buttons to buy The
skirt is in seven gore hare style and Is of
round length. The only finish necessary
IS rows of machine stitching at the lower
edge along the seams. A pretty feature
OF many of the new suits is the use OF
contrasting colors for collars and Guns
or facinKs. The suit shown is OF brown
cheviot with fscings and collar OF a light
shade OF bun. Another good combination
is OF gray mixture with black or light
gray trimmings. For the general utility
suit there are any number OF materials
which, while not the very newest, can
still claim a place among those things
which the modish woman looks upon
with kindly eye. Plain colored oheviots
and serges and worsted suitings are staple
and really never out OF style. Sizes. No.

Over Million Deaths in India With
in Year.

The status and progress of epi-
denies throughout the world is an
nounced in report which has been
issued by the United States Marine
Hospital and Public Health Service.
The report shows that cholera is con-
fined to Southern Asia, with an ad-
vance line extending into the south
eastern provinces of Russia.
The presence of yellow fever in
America, the report says, was con-
fined to few scattered cases in
Mexico and Central America. The
bubonic plague is chiefly prevalent
in Asia. In India, morbidity and NOR
tality for plague are constantly as
suming proportions. The disease has
so far baffled every effort to stamp it
out.
The report quotes recent statistics
given by the British Secretary of
State for India, showing a steady in
crease there since 1901 and total
of 1,O22, ,299 deaths from it in 1904
and that it is still prevailing with
unremitted violence. Cases are also
reported from Arabia, Siam, Japan,
China, Egypt, South Africa, Australia,
South America, Hawaii and the
Philippines.

FIRES ON OFFICERS.
Men Ordered to Kill Mutineers Shoot
Commanders

According to the London Morn
ing Post" after the mutineers who
took part in the recent outbreak at
Libau were overpowered, 23 of them
were sentenced to be shot. A half
dozen had been executed when an
increase in the mutiny induced the
commandant to postpone the execu-
tion of the remainder while he tele-
graphed to st. Petersburg for instruc-
tions.
He received orders to shoot all the
prisoners. Accordingly, a shooting
party was formed, and another batch
of mutineers was drawn up, but upon
receiving the command to fire the
firing squad turned and shot their
officers, killing dozen of them. A
detachment of Cossacks, who had been
held in reserve, were instantly ord
cred to overpower the firing squad
but they met with resistance and a
fierce fight followed. Twenty or 80
Cossacks were killed before the mu-
tineers were quelled.
