SOMETHING NEW IN PARADES
Forepaugh Sells Bros Circus
Spends Fortune to Introduce
Novelty.

To transform the old-style circus
pageant into a novelty, the manage
ment of the Adam Forpaugh and Sell
Bros shows have spent n millior
dollars on their free street display
When this circus visits Lafayette OF
Sunday. Nov. 10, the result of this
expenditure will be astonishing.
It will be found that it excels in guam
tity, being fully twice Is long as the
parade of any other circus. AS to
quality, chariots, band wagons and
floats are hand carved, while pure
gold-leaf is used in decorating; the
harness of the 500 horses is silver
mounted, and the costumes for the
1900 people are of the finest silk and
brOadcloth.
A caravan of merchants crossing
the Saharan sands bound for Mecca.
q troupe of Arabian highwaymen, de-
sert travellers returning from the mark
cts with richly-laden camels-these
comprise one of the novel sections.
Enaland's national sports, Derby day
scenes, hunting parties with packs OF
hounds and travellers of the Pickwick-
ian days, journeying overland by
stage coach, is another striking feet
ure. Contrasting with these are the
boomerang throwers of Australia,
bushwhackers, slaves from the dia-
mond fields of South Africa, tribes
men from savage lands playing weird
wal melodies on tom-toms and reeds.
The most savage Of jungle beasts pace
to and fro in open dens; there are
three herds OF elephants and a military
touch is given the parade by here and
there . body of soldiers ranging from
barbarian warriors in fantastic paint
to the soldiery of the civilized nations
Of the Roman, the Napoleonic, the
Colonial and the present periods.
Then comes the ~grotesque section
clowns, court fools, kings testers,
bufoons and pa~ntaloons of old
Yuletide pantomime. After this the
children's panorama of fairy floats,
depicting scenes from Alice in Won
derland, Undine and her dolphins in
beds Of ocean, the Piper of Hamlin-
town, the water babies and SO on
through the scenes of child plays.
Music is furnished by barbarian or
chestrss, Spanish mandolin corps,
chimes and military and marine
bands.
The parade will leave the show
grounds at 10 O'Clock and pass through
the business streets. Two perform
snces will be given, one at 2 O'Clock
and the other at 8.

AL q. Fields Ministries at th(
Crescent Theatre.
N. o. Picayune.
While the first place in the
theatrical world is not given t.
minstrelsy, there should be some
crOwding to allow place for the
name of AL G. Field on one of the
tablets of the immortals, for he
has reached out farther than
other entertainers. and the show
he is now giving is greater than
all of the festivals in minstrel
history. In leading his merry
makers last night in the delight
full Crescent Theatre, Field was
in his happiest mood, and evi.
IDENTIFY proud and pleased because
of the great array of b~urnt-cork
comedians, sweet'voiced singers
and clever dancers and the splen-
did scenic effects be had to offer.
In the first part the feast of flow
ers is shown, and the setting is
worth the general praise. Field
is lavish in his fun and enter.
tainment before olio, and for
over an hour the comedians and
others have full sway, jesting,
singing and dancing, so that each
taste finds something to delight.
Field himself is bubbling over
with humor. He is at his best
in impersonating Secretary Taft
doing the burlesque of the
brilliant and rotund Secretary OF
War. For almost thirty minutes
Field is the creator of laughs.
His sharp cracks at government.
al affairs and his wind-up. when
he fights the bull for votes, are
irresistible. Besides, he is per.
haps the only man to-day who
thoroughly understands and in.
terpets the negro dialect. With
him in his work is Doc Quiglery,
the most grotesque of dancers
as well as drollest of comedians.
Clark is held out as one of the
premier end men, and those who
know him acknowledge him a
humorist of the broardest type.
He is effervescent, and his songs.
That's Music to Me-" Every
Little Bit Added" and "Insan.
ity," are fraught with good
things. So funny was Clark last
night that one man in an upper
box had q ft over the imitation
of q Boston woman singing

ST. John, n. B., Sept. 1.-Mr. and Mrs Charles

Mr.. Roberts decided to-day that he might Just as

will continue to do So for perhaps my little retort
at the time he made the original allegations per-
suaded him to lie low and not attempt contest
on ground with which he is unfamiliar
'The President in his original attack found fault
with several writers for lack of observation, and
by so doing he committed that very error himself
by showing that he not familiar with the
stories that he criticized. T am a warm admrer of
Mr. Roosevelt, and feel that he would not be able
to accomplish much as he is doing were it not
for the fact that he is headstrong. The President
and those who agree with him are standing on
dangerous ground when they deny habits or char
acterfStcs to animals just because they themselves
have never happened to view them One man who
has seen Is better than dozen who have not SEEN
1T is against Long that Mr. Roosevelt mas Iately
turned his guns. and Long writes the stories which
hardest to believe. 1 have brief for either
party in this contest but It is worthy of note that
the story which particularly raised the PRESIDENTS
ire-namely, that of a woodcock mending Its leg
has received confirmation by an eminent Engnsh
naturalist. Rev. Theodore Wood who is himself
not fiction writer witnessed an English snipe
mending its leg in similar fashion, with the as
sistance OF a piece of feather, broad grass and
gummy substance which he had not Identified
Signor Fabio, italian naturalist. and not a hc-
ZIONIST was also the witness of such act on the
part of a snipe Mr.. Roosevelt's remark that Long
has described incidents OF which God alone could
know was simply funny. All writers of human
action take this same psychological liberty in de-
scribing human thoughts estimated from human
action, though of course they can have no knowI-
edgs of such thoughts. except by inference 1t IS
quite as legitimate for the novelist TO draw his
inferences from the animals action. That the fox
thinks SO and so is inferred from the foxs action.
If, however, the deductions are Illogical and not
sanely drawn then the writing is bad"
Dr.. Roberts said that he was to begin a new novel

FINGER PRINTS TO PROTECT BANKS.
From the Baltimore sun.


The idea of using the finger print system rs a
method of Identification in the banking business
has been discussed in financial circles of Balti-
more owing 10 the problem presented when busi-
ness is transacted with foreigners unable to sigl
their names in English. For years American bank
ers have had much trouble satisfying themselves
about signatures of foreigners. and to add to that
the foreign patrons seldom know any one to ider-
tify them.
Believing the problem could be solved by the sys-
fem used in connection with the BeTtilIon bureau
of the Police Department.. two employees or n local
savings bank called upon Lieutenant John a Casey
Yesterday afternoon. and discussed the plan win
him. They admitted they had deep personal in
terest in finger prints and that they had made Il
few experiments. but that their experiments were
not successful the ink used smeared despite the
fart that Impressions were lightly made
Lieutenant Casey discussed the subject with them
at length, for he is enthusiast on the SyS-
tenn and he knows something of its history.

Baltimore banks would have TO take it up he
