Mr.. Morse and his wife quietly re-
sumed their marital relations as soon

convicted Of conspiracy. and the pro-
ceedings to annul the marriage was dis
continued.
1t was commonly supposed at the time
that the lavish expenditure of money
upon Dodge in Texas to keep him out of

Morse. Report said he wished his mar
riage annulled that he might marry
Mrs. Gelshenen. a rich widow, who, be
ing a Catholic. was debarred by her
religion from marrying a divorced man.
Mrs. Gelshenen's departure for Europe

"Of course. all Johns talk was a one

because I did not choose TO, and, sec

dim night as he ran along Smithfield

head. in pursuit Of man racing along

OARNUM & BAILEY SHOW
TOO BIG TO PARADE
The Colossal Size of Circus Will Neces-
state Abandonment of Time
Honored Pageant in Washington.

A circus that is too big 10 give a street
parade" is a novelty even in these days
Of colossal enterprises and mammoth
amusement institutions. But that is the
announcement Of the Barnuna e. Bailey
circus. which exhibits IN Washington
May IA and Is.
In speaking Of the reasons for this
striking innovation, James A Bailey
said recently: THE Barnum & Bailey
circus has become so large that a parade
is no longer possible or even desirable
II we could be absolutely sure OF get
ting into town by daybreak. the parade
would still be feasible. but with our i've
long trains OF cars. this is too much
TO expect Of the railroad companies. In
many instances IL is S or 9 O'Clock be-
fore II is unloaded and the parapher-
MALTA transferred 90 the show grounds.
This leaves just sufficient time 10 erect
the big tents and prepare for the after
noon performance"
The experiment Of cutting out the
parade was tried IN this country for the
first time last season, and Manager
Bailey was asked what effect the inn0-
walton had upon the business Of the big
show.
IF anything, Il helped the patronage" q"
was the reply. THE necessity for elm
mating the parade because Of the mag
nitude OF the show was generally recog-
nized. and the public was anxious TO
see q show that was actually TOO big TO
give a procession. Before the advent Of
the show in some Of the Western cities
there were some unfavorable comments
regarding the no parade feature. even
ia the press: but after the public and the
newspaper men saw the performance,
noticed the increased vim and ginger
that was installed into II because the
performers and animals were not over
worked. and the greater enjoyment of
the people because they had not been
worn out by long period OF tiresOme
waiting. there was bur one verdict and
that was that the elimination of the
parade was a success from every stand
point"
The Barnum & Bailey circus is the
only one that has had the courage 10
cut out the parade
The absence Of the parade Is more
| than compensated for by this years big
arenic acts and ''thrillers." There are
three big sensations, ana the structural
