PLANS FOR THE CIRCUS.
Comfort of People Looked After
 Barnum and Bailey.

~or,fort of People Looked After by Barnum and Bailey.
 One of the most important ana sis, Fnificant features .na Q. a,aen,ion tfe % given to the comfort and convenience Of the public. This is displayed in the aa- mirable seating arrangements insu. tuted by this great show. as Weii as in the courteous and comprehenslVe method of handling the crowds.
 This regard for the public welfare l is anticipated in every possible way and for weeks prior to the event. ana also during the visit of the show, the convenience of the public is the sub feet of thoughtful and special consid- eration on the part of the management and a stan of men engaged Tor this specific purpose. The out ut-of-town visitor who reads the place of exhibition probably never
 gives thought to the negotiations involved in spreading broadcast the good news of cheap fares and special railway service to the big show. The
 excursion department. which has tnas and costly department of the show. It monopolises the services of a General Excursion Agent and large stan oi assistants, and its work in securing
 railroad concessions for the pubic and in contributing to the comfort and pleasure of out-of-town visitors to the show Is invaluable.
 The good work. however, Is not con fined to out-of-town transportation owing to the immensity of the show. and the necessity of securing plot of ground of sufficient area to permit the erection of the circus city, 1t Is often necessary for the show to exhibit a considerable distance from the busi- ness center of the city.
 This brings into prominence the question of intra-rural transportation Arrangeme ents are entered into with
 the city railway companies by whNh the cars are concentrated upon the lines leading to the show grounds | thus insuring the transportation o1 the public in the shortest possible pc l riod.
 Guards and starters are furnished tf prevent crushes and possible injury tt l the shows patrons. This care and | thoughtfulness for the public is con l tinued after the performance. The crowds. streaming out from the bie tents, discover a long parade of cars lined up. and instead of the jam and
 confusion of other days, the shows
 patrons find themselves assisted into
 the cars, which are roomy enough and
 sufficiently numerous to handle the throngs, no matter how great.
 In these and numerous other ways
 the comfort and welfare of the public
 will be systematically provided foI during the Barnum and Bailey en- gagement in Montgomery Monday The show will arrive Sunday morning and the tent city will be erected at Capitol Heights.

Substitute for CeIluIoid.

The many uses and infiammable character of celluloid have led to an active search for substitutes. The new material of c. Trosquenet. a French in ventor, is a mixture Of cellulose, as- bestos and the organic matter con tained in oyster shells. The cellulose is obtained by treating seaweed suc- cessively with acid and alkali. and washing. The asbestos is ground with petroleum oil. while the ground oys- ter shells are treated with hydrochloric acid and the insoluble residue is boil ed with water washed with weak al- kaline solution, and collected on fl- fer. The mixtures contain from fifty five to sixty-flve parts of the cellulose two to twelve parts of the oiled asbes- tos and twenty to forty-five parts of the oyster shell substance. The mass is treated with formaldehyde, suitahlv colored. and then pressed in- to any form or object for which eel luloid can be used

The opposition is bet ter organized In these counties per haps. than in any other county of the State. It is the purpose of the commit tee to reduce the anti Democratic votes in these counties to its lowest point
 "Of course, we have not the slightest apprehension that the nti-Democrtic vote will endanger any any Dsm6craac Demo ae.. terday. But in some of the counties. there is e. dangerous opposition to the nominees for the House and the Senate. We want to see all Legislative nom- inees of the Democratic party as & tri, umphantly elected as the state ticket will be. The larger part of our work has been directed towards getting out the Democratic vote in every county of the State.

President of Mine Workers In a
Fighting MOOd---AlI COnCes-
SiOnS Have Been FOrCee.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. April 30. -
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers has given ont the following
statement:
II have lust received, read and form
ally acknowledged President Baer's an
swcr TO the last demands made upon
the opeiatOrs by the miners. 1t APP
pears perfectly evident that the oper-
ators have not changed their attitude
in any particular during the past six
years ana that the strikes of 1900 and
1902 were no lesson TO them. There is
no instance on record during the quar-
ter of Il century which the railroads
have dominated the anthracite indus
try that IN advance in wages has been
granted their employees. Every con-
cession has been wrung from them by
strikes and the pressure of public SEN
timent.
The r~ailroad-coal combination not
only fixes arbitrarily the price mt which
coal is sold to consumers. but seeks to
fix arbitrarily the price ut which labor
shall be bought. 1t seems that every
conciliatory overture we have made for
a peaceful settlement has been in
terpreted by the operators as signs OF
weakness and our conservatism an evil
dence of c%owardice.

sumer of domestic coal? 1t occurs to

them. What the outcome will be can

Great interest centers in the

Mitchell. having received the reply of
the operators denying his last request
for an increase in wages, will call Il

strike will then be decided.

is offered for the Elks reunion in the
city of Denver in July that has ever
been offered on a similar occasion in
the history of the country. Most of

Denver mint, so hat the winners can
either carry the prizes home in bull
lion form or cash them at any bank
to which they may be taken.
There will be a first prize of $ 900
and a second prize of $500, for the
best band appearing in the line of
march, and in a public concert. Ev-

$l,250 for the lodge having the
greatest aggregate mileage, and an
other prize of $1,000 for the lodge
presenting the best appearance in
line. Still another $1,000 prize will
