WILL FIGHT THE FLAMES
Forty Firemen to Take Part in Spec
tacle at the Forepaugh-
Sells Shows.

Realizing the keen interest for man
kind in great conflagration, the man
agement of the Forepaugh-S shows
has prepared spectacle entitled Fight
ing the Flames. with which the perform
ance given next Thursday will be
opened
The scenery alone necessary to repre-
sent city In all its multitudinous gran
deur of tall buildings, streets, hotels,
markets and sky scrapers," would be an
impossibility to any show save a large
one like the Forepaugh- combina-
ton.
The new amphitheater tent in which the
fire spectacle is presented has been es-
pecially constructed for the purpose and
is so large in length and breadth as to
make all large circus tents heretofore
seen appear small by comparison. The
huge ellipse usually known IS the hip
podrome oval and surrounded by the au-
dltorium, is this year so large that with
the help of panoramic scenery it repre-
sents busy city thoroughfare, surround
ed by large city park.
This park is the space occupied by the
arenas, six in number, in which later the
circus acts take place, but now, by a
system of theatrical set pieces, is trans
formed into enormous grass plots, shrub
berry, fountains, flower beds, statuary,
drives, walks and all the many things
seen in great playground of big city,
with band of musicians entertaining the
multitude.
Facing this park and it's surrounding
street is the huge work of architectural
scenery. On the streets in the park, in
and out of the stores, 1000 actors on
foot in carriages. 'omobiles, carts and
bicycles. peanut vel 5, neWsbOys, boot
blacks, fruit sellers, pedders, fashionably
dressed men and women are in motion.
The rushing patrol wagon and blue
coated policemen appear; an officer rings
in the alarm of fire. Flames are now
shooting out of many windows ter
rifle explosion is heard with rafting
glass falling partitions, and people rush
ing, pushing and crowding. Amid the tu-
multi come the clang and clatter of the
fire apparatus, hose carts and ladder
wagons.
Then emerge the fearless fire fighters
with calm faces, alert, quickly ready,
brave ia their daring acts of rescue, fight
ing the fire with d superb calmness of
demeanor and freedom from fear, scaling
walls, everywhere facing the fires awful
countenance and eXtiEguishing the all
devOuring element with its master
water.
The engines, ladders. hose coupling, ex-
tinguishers, wall scaling devices and va
rious implements for fire-fighting are the
perfection of inventive genius and the
very latest. The mechanical and electTi-
cal apparatus for the imitation of flame,
smoke, steam and other pyrOtechnic stage
effects which make il unnecessary to use
real fire-prOdueing this effect artificial
ly-dre the newest inventions, and the
forty special fire-fighters have been pick
ed from the leading fire departments of
the large cities

BACK FROM MEXICAN TRIP.
A. n. Snow Enthusiastic About OPP
portunities for Investment.

A H. Snow has returned to the city
after an absence of five weeks in Old
Mexico. He is enthusiastic about the
opportunities in the republic of Mex
ico He says that during the last few
years American money to the amount
of 500, 900 has been invested with
profit in Mexican mining, agricultural
and horticultural lines.
Mr. Snow says that cheap but pro-
ductive alluvial land, suitable for
growing oranges and bananas, is found
in great areas along the Panuco and
Tamesi rivers, and that this section of
the country will soon be under cultiV
ton. Bananas and oranges grow wild
along these rivers. The climate is
milder than that of either Ca!ifol MIA
or Florida, and fruits grown there can
be placed in the market earlier in the
season than fruits from the states
named.

SLOW TRAINS IN SPAIN.
The Traveller in "Manana Land
Content With Eighteen Miles
an Hour

Madrid Letter to the Philadelphia Ledger
Spain does not facilitate the progress of
the traveller. The tourist TO that country
must be rich in one thing which the aver
plenty of time. In Spain there is no stay
ing over a train TO visit a cathedral or
a gallery. The points of interest are wide
" scattered, and a days journey must
not be considered as any hindrance to an
inspection, however cursory, of even one
cathedral.
This difficulty in getting about is due
largely to an execrable train service. The
cars in the south of Spain are old fash
toned; the rOadbedSf are so badly made
that the trains rock like a ship in a heavy
sea. The engineers either cannot or will
not drive the engines at any rate which
Eighteen miles an hour is the Spanish
idea of lightning express; fifteen is re-
garded as a working estimate that is good
enough for ordinary purposes.
The Spanish have call the time there
is" and see no reason why they should
imperil their lives and wreck their nerves
by hurrying anywhere 1t may be noted,
however that, if the trains are slow,
they are sure, and for train to be be
hind time practically is unknown. WO-
men travelling alone for instance, need
not hesitate to take a train reaching a
given point by 10 at night through fear
that it will rot arrive until II or after
ward. If the timetable announces its ar
rival for TO- that train will enter the
station on the minute.
In this connection may be told the story
of an American who asked his guide the
distance between Madrid and San Sebas-
tian, the chief watering place of Spain.
1t was the intention of the American to
run up there for a few hours; the distance
did not look great when studied on the
map.
"San Sebastian, senior? 1t is about
ninety miles away" said the guide
"Ah, a two hours journey" said the
American. having in mind the express
trains between New York and Philadel-
phia, a similar distance.
The guide opened his eyes in surprise
at such mad idea.
mo, senior. If you leave Madrid at 9
o'clock in the morning you will reach San
Sebastian about 10 O'Clock in the evening.

that his state of mind entitled him to
admission. The negro had been advised
to pray that his spiritual condition might
