travels with the show as veterinary.
We were shown the green room,
which in circus talk means the place
where the performers come after leav
ing their dressing rooms, and where
their horses are brought aud thev
await their turn to appear in the ring.
The dressing rooms themselves are
three 10 number, one for the ladies',
one for the gentlemen, and one for
the 10 Russian performers. They are
strictly private. The show carries
nearly 400 performers, has five brass
bands, and one drum corps. A
physician and surgeon travels with
them all the time.
As a further indication Of the i'm.
Necessity of the circus, let US tell wat
they use for their horses aud animals;
20 tons of hay, 800 bushels Of oats,
50 bushels of corn, 1000 pounds of
bran, $50 pounds of meats, 5Obunches
of cabbage, 4 lunches of bananas, 50
punches of beets, the some of carrots,
and 100 punches of lettuce. The show
requires for all purposes plot of
ground $50 feet square, or within 80
feet each way Of four blocks. They
have l4tents, ranging in size from II
x24, to the large one, 5l0x22O. 1t is
big thing, takes in lots of money,
has large expense, and like all lines
OF business, has drawbacks.
One thing we noted was.the quiet
manner in which everything was con-
Quoted, No noise, no loud or
boisterous talking, and in all the
time we wete on their lot, only heard
one man swear. That will skin block
of men in this city auyday. There are
no grafters with the show and it is
evidently strictly refined aggrega-
ton, one that will do your heart good
to see. We feel very much indebted
to Mr.. Rial for his courteous treat
ment and the great amount of infor-
nation he impaired to US. He is Ger.
tainly a valuable employee of the
show.

that she was prepared to go whenever

She prayed for and pleaded with
her children and husband to live a
christian life aud meet her in the

for time after that, but she seemed
to get weaker every day. Sunday
evening she had strong symptoms for
typhoid fever and Monday morning
she was every low with the fever.
She never complained Of having
any pain and had her eyes raised to
heaven most of the time.
AT sunset they thought her dying

soul took its flight.
