FOR LOCAL FAIRGROUNDS,
Mrs. Barney's Play and Other Fund
Raising Projects Considered.

At a meeting of the Women's Clubs COM
mittee on Fairgrounds at the New Willard
yesterday Mrs. Mussey presided. DR.. Cur
tis was asked to explain the present sltua
ton and needs of the Fairgrounds He said
that San Francisco seemed to have secured
most Of the money, and the playground ap-
peals were not bringing many returns. It
would be necessary to raise about s., 500,
even If Congress granted the SIS. 600 asked
for maintenance, there was not enough
for the school Fairgrounds There were
certain back bills that had not been paid,
and it seemed necessary to continue the
agitation for the extension Of the system.
1t was very desirable also to have a small
fund that could be used in emergency with
out the delay incident to purchasing
through the property clerk. Mrs. Mussey
thought also that the government appro-
priation might not be available in time for
the opening of the Fairgrounds.
Three projects were spoken of for raising
money-Mrs. Barney's play at 1.-THE Oaks
on the 10th instant, lawn fete at Senator
Henderson's, 18th instant, and contribu-
tons from the churches.
The fact that the pastoral play which Gre
ated such interest at Friendship Is to be re-
peated has produced very general satisfac-
ton.
A rehearsal took place today at 1.-THE
Oaks" the residence of Col. Henry F.
Blount, 31O1 r street northwest, at which
Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney made some
final arrangements in order that the change
Of setting from Friendship" to The Oaks
may not confuse the performers
Active among those who are promoting
the repetition of the pastoral is Mrs. Sem
ator Dubois whose interest in educa tional
problems, child labor and the juvenile
courts is for the time being extended to the
playground needs.

PUZZLED POLICE FORCE.
Cartridge Of Crude Manufacture,
Evidap4Iv no pos+ Ara rrraor%hod.

Cartridge Of Crude Manufacture,
Evidently of Past Age, Unearthed.
The finding of bomb or cannon car
fridge Of crude manufacture excited much
interest and created some excitement in
the neighborhood Of 18th and B streets
northwest late yesterday afternoon. This
morning the dangerous-looking piece Of iron
was turned over to the police of the first
precinct and Is now being guarded by Lieut..
Williams.
The cartridge found Is about three inches
In diameter and Is cylindrical In shape, ex-
cept that one end is pointed like bullet,
and Is very heavy. At one end there seems
to have been an opening that the powder
might be put In, but which was closed by
a plug Of iron soldered in place.
Several acres of the agricultural
grounds at the southwest corner of 18th
and B streets northwest are being given
up to gardens, and when John Oden was
working on this plot yesterday afternoon
he unearthed this cartridge. He carefully
lifted 1t from its place and conveyed 1t to
the foreman. 1t was hidden away for the
night but early this morning Policeman
Cavanaugh of the first precinct was sent
for and the missile turned over to him.
1t is believed that the bomb came from
the ground upon which the new Smithson-
ian Institution building is being constructed
much Of the dirt excavaLed there was
dumped where this bomb was found But
where 1t came from in the first place Is a

FACTS AND FIGURES.
They Tell the Story of Ringing
Brothers. Immense CircuS.

Ringing Brothers circus is the
largest in the world. 1880 people are
employed in its various departments;
$50 horses are used, and it requires
eighty-five cars to haul the huge enter
prise from place to place. Twenty
tents are spread for the daily exhibit
tons. The circus tent proper will seat
$4,000 people comfortably. The per-
formances take place in three rings,
two stages and on hippodrome track
quarter of mile long. Three hun
dred performers take part in the i'm
mense program, and 200 highly bred
and educated horses are used in the
ring acts. In the menagerie depart
ment are los cages and dens, occupied
by the rarest and most valuable COL
lection of rare wild animals in the
world. A herd OF forty elephants, the
largest in captivity, is to be seen in
this annex. A rhinoceros, two giraffes,
hippopOtamus, horned horse, white
polar bear, tapir, black vaark, baby
tigers, and black leopards are other
rare animals to be found in this zoo.
The performing elephants are the most
remarkably educated beasts ever seen,
and the trained seals present a mar
velous exhibition of animal intelli-
gence. The ring performances are
characterized by novelty and sensa-
ton, and many of the leading artists
are European celebrities appearing
here for the first time. Clark Brothers,
Gilbert Eldred and the four Bedinis,
the leading opponents of bareback rid
ing in the world, are in this class. The
DeKock family, Ernesto Sisters, Herr
Fuss. 5 Normans, Nelson Comiques,
Young Brothers, 5 Mowatts, Onri
troupe and the Clarkonians, are among
the imported gymnasts of international
fame. The gorgeous spectacle of the
Field of the Cloth of Gold employs
1900 characters, 200 dancing girls and
800 choristers The music is rendered
by band of fifty musicians. This
chorus is truly the worlds greatest,
and are institutions of American origin
and growth. Ringing Brothers mar
velous shows will exhibit at Grand
Forks Monday, July Is, giving two per-
formances, afternoon at 2 o'clock and
evening at s O'Clock,

is made from wood pulp. The wood
pulp is treated with sulphuric acid
and heated in iron vessels. The pro-
ducts of this distillation are differ
ent gases tar and a watery liquid
which contains the wood alcohol, acetic
and another poisonous product called
acetone. Wood alcohol has the same
properties as the ordinary alcohol, hav-
ing great fuel value and is intoxi-
eating but it is also deadly poisonous,
due to the unrefned products which
are in it.
AS our readers probably know there
Is at present before congress bill
which proposes to take off the tax on
de-naturized alcohol and the bill has
already passed the house of repre-
sentatives. The word de-naturized is
a new one and not found in the dictiOn-
airy. 1t merely means that the alcohol
so called has had added to 1t certain
products which make it unfit or dis
taseful, for drinking purposes. Wood
alcohol is sometimes used for this pur-
pose, or paraffine oil. De-naturized
alcohol is fully equal to the ordinary
alcohol for fuel purposes. In Europe
and Great Britain de-naturized alcohol
is widely used for fuel purposes, for
running alcohol motors and engines,
for lighting purposes. It is cheaper
than either gasoline or kerosene, and
affords market for waste farm pro-
ducts.
The sale of tax free alcohol is not
at present permitted in the United
States. A duty of $2.O7 per standard
gallon is levied on all the alcohol that
comes into the United States This,
consequently prohibits its use for fuel
purposes and compels us to use gaso-
lene and kerosene. In Great Britain
the duty on common alcohol is much
higher than in the United States, but
this disadvantage is counter balanced
by the sale of duty free de-naturized
alcohol. In other words the alcohol
fit only for fuel is allowed to come
into Great Britain free and the al
cohol for drinking purposes is tax
ed.
Gasoline, which is now the only
available fuel for the internal COM
bustion engine, has more than doubled
in price during the past few years, and
since, owing to the largely increased
use of this class of engines for farm
work, the demand for gasoline is rapid
ly exceeding the supply, the necessity
for securing cheap, satisfactory and
permanent supply Of fuel has become
a very serious question.
Alcohol distilled from corn and other
farm products, which has been render
ed undrinRable by the admixture of
some poisonous substance, is the only
fuel which meets all these conditions.
A fire started with alcohol is one of the
easiest to extinguish, owing to the fact
that 1t mixes freely with water. AL
cohol is clean. and free from disagree
explosion. and when burned with in
candescent mantle gives a brilliant,
steady white light. The alcohol lamp
with mantle is simple and inexpensive,
