Sunday evening the services consisted of
the rosary, sermon and papal benedic-
ton. Two societies were formed at this
time, one for the men, "The Holy Name
Society" and one for the ladies, THE
Sodality of the Immaculate c Conception. /"
The work of these missionaries cannot
help but bring good results and the
members of st. Aloysius parish feel CRATE
full for the great he Up and blessings they
have received the past week. From here
the missionaries went to Lunenburg.
where they are now conducting similar
| mission.

The Big Show Coming.
FOrepaugh & Sells Bros. Circus Down TO-
Early nate


Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros. IA
nous circus, now the biggest and best in
America, will give two exhibitions in St
Johnsbury on July A.
No other circus has made the improve
ments and the growth that have been
attained by this splendid organization.
Since its last appearance in this locality
it has almost doubled itself in dimen-
sions and has added so many European
acts that the performance has an abso-
lutely different aspect OF originality and
newness. The main tent is the largest
spread OF canvas ever made. The free
street parade, on an entirely new plan
and with novelty in its every feature,
represents one million dollars in money,
spent for the purpose of devisng not
alone the most elaborate street spectacle
but to make it different from all others.
In the parade alone are 10000 people
and 500 horses.
Another fortune was spent on the
great fire drama, with its 1000 cos
tunes, hre-6ghting apparatus and
trainload of scenery. The menagerie has
been given distinction above all Others
by the addition of a half dozen rare
geological specimens not to be seen any
where else. The program which follows
the spectacle abounds in great acts, the
majority of which are new to this
country. There are at least fifty great
specialities, any one of which cannot be
by the acts OF any other
show. Among Others the management
has secured the great Spessardy and his
wonderful trained bears from Europe;
lobedie, the great up-side-down man;
Joseph La Fleur, the French gymnast;
the wonderful Flying Fishers, and the
LIE Vans, the greatest aerialists in the
world; Rebecca Daniels, Orrin May and |
Victoria Davenport, the great Wallet,
Oscar Lowanda and Miss Ship, the
seven best riders on earth; the famous
1ockhart trained elephants, Captain
Nebb's educated seals and George De
Ioe's postgraduate ponies; the Coralles
md the Dollars, Fred Welcome and the |
.Jennets, the most famous |
lcrobats of two continents; the Goltz
rio, who were the talk of all Paris last
winter. and the Nevaros and Miss Nettie

Found in the River.

The body of Pierre Gouetz was found
in the Passumpsic river near the electric
light station Saturday afternoon, where
it had evidently been for several days.
Mr.. Gouetz had been drinking heavily of
late and about ten days ago left word
with his friends that they would never
see him again They supposed he had
gone to Laconia where he has brother
in-law, but it now seems probable that
he took his own life. He was AZ years
old. unmarried, and was a carpenter by
trade, having worked this sum ner for
Contractor Drew. He leaves one sister
in Montreal.

Houdon, the great occult wonder, held
the boards Monday evening, and con-
sidering the weather, which was ex-
tremely sultry, there was a fair attend
ance. He gave several difficult tests in
telepathy and his work never showed to
better advantage. He selected a COM
mittee consisting of several prominent
citizens, who went on the stage and saw
that every part of the performance was
carried out as advertised.
