INTERNATIONAL SHOWS.
Every Pledge Made is Religiousiy
kept-Every Promise is Full
filled.

/ IN organizing the Great Interna-
tional Shows along entirely new lines
for the present season, the same
policy was extended and pur-
sued in the preparation for its adver-
Using proclamations. the time
when the public enjoyed being
humbugged has passed. The public
today demands and is entitled to
truthful statements. In consequence
it viii be with some degree of salts
faction that that the millions of
amusement seekers will attend the
exhibitions of the Great International
Shows a. it viii be with certain
knowledge that everything viii be
seen lust as represented in prelimina-
rY announcements.
The experience of others has taught
the lesson that pledges are not TO be
/ broken and promise should be fulfilled
TO the letter. Attention is especially
directed to the features that are ad-
vertised by this exhibition, and it is
entirely within the realm of truth to
say that this show is the only one
that makes the absolute distinction
between those performances which
NAV be regarded as extraordinary and
other Orthodox acts without which
no exhibitions would be complete. 1t
Is not denied that there are some acts
upon the programmes of these shows
that have some similarity to acts seen
before. They are absolutely necessa-
~ to give desired colOring and en-
bellishment. With the Great Inter
national Shows will be seen the eight
Cornallas Male and Female Acrobats,
to which there are so other perform
ers all to be seen with this show, in
Aberdeen, Monday, Dec. 18th after
noon at ?, night at 5.
Millions of bottles of Foley's Honey
and Tar have been sold without any

tains no opiates or other harmful

In the cotton exchanges when the
census figures We're announced Mon
day showing amount Of cotton in
sight December 1st, there was
considerable comment upon the fact
that four hundred ginning plants
less were reported in operation up TO
December / this season than at the
same date last year. That does not
at all mean that there is less cotton
produced nor indicate hardness in
ginning and pressing it. There is
an increasing tendency for the
small plants to be absorbed by
! larger and more modern establish
ments, and the old-fashioned, slow
and obsolete ginneries are passing
away, except in sparsely settled re-
gions Of long haul and light produc-
ton. The demand is for quick gin
ming when the cotton arrives on the
scence; and besides, the large es-
adjustments offer superior induce
ments for the purchase Of seed, and
in some instances have a considera-
/ bly, lower scale Of prices for ginning
and pressing.

aside and said, That's all foolishness.
The trains are safe enough to suit me.
and I'm going 10 take this one to- the
shore"
The three cars IN the train were built
OF steel. and were OF the newest yestibule
type. They had double doors, which open
ed by means OF a handle, and once they
were closed, the passengers were prison
ers. Only the crew OF the train, who
knew the combination, could operate the
handles, and even they could do nothing.
once the cars were sprung or bent. II
was these patent doors which gave rise
10 the rumor that the cars were locked
and thus prevented many escapes when
might have been possible otherwise.
Past crossings and around curves the
three cars swung forward at a speed
sometimes reaching 60 miles an hour. Ac-
cording. TO railroad operatives lghtness
OF the cars made the electric train dan
gerous. It Ia claimed the cars need the
massive weight Of locomotive to hold
them steady on the rails. BE that as IL
may, the cars held 10 the rails until they
arrived at the drawbridge over the Thor
oughfare.
A few minutes before the electric ex-
press was due the drawbridge had been
opened TO allow small vessel TO pass,
and the watchman had closed IL again.
