activity prevails here, following the
voting Of Saturday. The German dele
gates are not pleased with the de-
cision to take up the police question
before the bank question is COM
pleted. There is no Indication that
they will refuse to proceed, but the
conferees expect dilatory tactics. The
Germans ask for time to secure fur
ther instructions and the other dele
gates are showing impatience at the
delays. The Germans intimate that
things are being rushed and say that
they do not intend being pushed. They
are counting upon France losing pa
tience and making a false step, which
would throw the onus of rupture on
France.

NO BAN ON THE CIRCUS.
Cardinal Richard. Archbishop Of Par

Cardinal Richard, Archbishop Of Paris,
Calls it the Theatre of Childhood.
There was time, not many years
ago, when very considerable number
of good and honest people regarded the
circus with suspicion and not only re-
fused to patronize it themselves, but
also used their influence or parental au-
thority to deter others from attending.
This indiscriminate condemnation of
the circus was always more or less I'm
just, for, while there have always been
tent shows existing by methods open to
question, there have also been circuses
whose names have always been synon-
ymous with honesty, integrity and the
cleanest methods. The Barnum & Bal
ley circus, which the people Of this city
VIII again have an opportunity to see
here on June IA, has fifty three years of
such a record to it's credit, and, no
doubt so long as this great show exists
1t will be the representative of all that
IS best and most enduringly commena-
ble in arenic entertainments.
In recent years much of the old pref
udice against circuses has disappeared
and the efforts of the Barnum & Bailev
show to give the public clean, whole
some amusement has surely had a great
deal to do with it, A great circus Of
this character has come to be reeog-

TURKEY WITH WOODEN LEG.

Big Bird Killed in Virginia-Supersti-
tons of Long Shore Hunters.
In most communities there are GER
tain persons who possess peculiar
characteristics, habits and beliefs, and
and this is true of the long shore
sportsman OF the Mother State as Of
persons dwelling elsewhere.
Many of the old time sportsmen still
carry and use their muzzle loading guns,
which cannot be displaced by mere mo-
dern arms. They usually manage to
bag good many birds and other game,
and this is chiefly due it is believed, to
their knowledge Of the habits of the
game. They seldom go out without
finding something.
A story is told Of one gunne who if
any of the shot should fall from his
hands while loading his gun will at
once return home and make no further
effort to hunt that day, believing, as
he says, that those lost were his luck,
and it would be useless for him to con-
tinue the hunt.
Another, whom I will call here Capt.
Pete, is a sailor and all round sports
man. Hhe loves to tell of his adven-
lures with his dogs and gun, and is
seldom seen without them. He tells
many stories about the accuracy OF
Sweet Lips, his gun and declares he
can beat any man "a-shootin' for a tur-
key in the United States of Viginny"
On the occasion of aturkey hunt near
the Rappahannock River Capt, Pete
claims to have shot forty pound wild
turkey, for which he was offered 81
cash. The gray whiskers ON the tur-
keys breast were eighteen inches long
and he had one wooden leg. Here Capt
Pete gives a laugh that could be heard
a half mile. "Sar, he was the biggest
turkey l ever saw There were eigh-
teen fellows in the bunch of us, and
four others besides, and all ate stump.
tuous meal from one-half of his breast
Uncle Pete says he cannot account
for that wooden leg unless that turkey
had been previously owned by some one

nized, not only as a legitimate factor in
furnishing entertainment to the people,
but its educational value is also appre-
ciated by those who give the subject
the careful thought that 1t deserves.
Nowadays the Barnum & Bailey circus,
with it's costly geological exhibits, its
gathering Of strange and curious people
from all parts of the world; it's wonder
full disqualification of what intelltgently
developed Drawn and muscle can do,
when united with fearless daring; its
replicas of the historical glories of old
Rome; its superbly costumed spectacle
and its startling innovations in eques-
trian, acrobatic and aerial exploits
appeals irreslstibly to the public, and
attracts its audiences from every class
in the community. Not only is there no
ban upon sircll q modern circus by the
church or the home, but even the most
devout find in its striking displays new
cause to marvel at the power of the
Creator and the wonders of the uni
verse.
This fact was recently brought into
striking prominence in a letter from a
European correspondent printed in the
New York Sun, of which the following
is an extract:
Cardinal Richard, Archbishop Of
Paris, has again laid the hand of disci-
pline upon his clergy. The Opera and
the Coincide Franchise are forbidden
things, but the circus is allowed. 1t is
the theatre of childhood and the priest
goes there as the guide of children"
The same view is held by the Ameri-
can clergy. The question, therefore, is
not whether the church-goer should at
tend the circus, but, rather, which cir
Gus should be attended. The coming of
the Barnum & Bailey show, with its
new Peace spectacle, its somersault-
turning automobile and other thrill
ers;" it's series of new acts presented
by three hundred performers, its vast
menagerie and its many other expen-
sive features. will probably furnish an
answer so far as the people Of this city
are concerned.

STORIES OF DEAN sHALER.

When Darwin first propounded the
theory of evolution he eagerly grasped
the truth, and championed it even
against the teachings of his master,
Agassiz whom he greatly revered. A
young man of the new school of scien-
lists thought to trick him into an in
consistency. and pointed out that evo-
luton must unsettle the beliefs of a
man who accepted Christianity. Pro-
fessor Shaler turned to him and said,
I believe in Christianity, and 1 be-
lieve in this evolution" Then he quot
ed from the Book of Job, Touching
the Almighty, we can not find him out. .
The Cambridge Hospital, the college
infirmary and even the police court
were subject to frequent and sudden
visits from him. If one of his boys was
in trouble for breaking lamps or mock
ing at the majesty Of the law, Dean

In the hospital he would pull up be-

case, tell the boy that he heard good
reports of his work, and then fall into
violent dispute with the doctor on the
effects of antitoxine on diptheria.

THE FATE OF A JOINER

1t is difficult to conceive a sadder fate
than that which overlook a Brooklyn
joiner on Wednesday, when, enveloped
in purple sash and waving cleaning
sword about his head, he rode gayly
forth on a rented horse. He had reach
ed the acme of a joiner's happiness.
He had been elected captain Of a social
club and was leading his fellows on an
outing, impressing the small boys and
girls in the street with his grandeur an
basking in the awed admiration of his
friends. At his moment of triumph,
just as he was raising his befeathered
chapeau to half dozen applauding
urchins, his wife pointed him out to two
detectives, who took him from his
place at the head Of the procession and
locked him up on charge Of abandon
ment.
For the ordinary citizen the disgrace
of public arrest is most poigant but
yanking an habitual joiner from his
post and taking him into custody in
full regalia before hte eyes of his fell
lows is the height of cruelty 1t not on
| ly subjects him to unfeeling and harsh
comments from irreverent spectators
but it robs him Of the browning JOY Of
existence Never was there a true joiner
who did not look forward all expect
antly to the time when, clad in raiment
more billiant than that of any king or
potentate, he should lead a procession,
| flash a sword and utter words of COM
mand to his envfous companions. Re-
latively few of the vast number Of
joiners now III active operation can
hope to attain such emlnence. The best
most of them can do is to hope for a
time when society or lodge meetings
shall be held every evening and on all
holidays, giving them frequent oppor-
tunities to deck themselves in sashes,
uncomfortable hats, badges, side arms
| to the management of which they are
complete strangers, and the like.
The true joiner holds all human as
sociations except the societies to which
he belongs or longs to belong as the
merest trivialties. If he is married it
is his wife's business not to interfere
with his enjoyment of the stern pleas
ures of his secret organizations. If he
must choose between supporting his
family or his society, the family must
shift for itself. The real business of
his life is to join organizations with
strange names, differed by men bearing
astonishing titles and distinguished by
remarkable uniforms. The large the
number of htese in which he can pro-
claim his membership the greater is the
joiners satisfaction. The wife may be
hungry at home may be neglected,
creditors may send persistent duns to
collect accounts grown hoary with age;
it matters not to the Joiner, if he can
keep his dues paid up and feel within
him the pride that comes from a. som
orous title and ribbon crossed coat,
1t appears that the unfortunate
Brooklynite who was arrested on We'd
nesday was enjoying "the greatest day
| in his life" Those acquainted with
the ways Of joiners will understand
this. His wife was bending over the
washtub, earning enough to feed his
children. He was leading the pleasure
club. What joiner would not be
happy under such ideal circumstances.
