FRAIL GIRL DEFiES DEATH
Hair Raising Automobile Somerset
Circus Thriller.

The sensation OF all ages ami the most
thrilling CT all reckless acts is found this
season in the automobile somerset, per
pormed by Mile. La Raque as the climax
Of the Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Circus.
That the heavy machine may make its
revolution III space it is given treme1-
dous momentum by downward plunge
from the dome Of the tent on steel
track 10 within few feet of the ground
where a scientifically constructed cuTVl
thirty feet in the air. There is an awful
pause of the fraction OF second fraught
with intense suspense. Then the auto
mobile makes a complete and perfect
somerset and plunges, wheels downward,
10 a spring platform.
There is not a quavcr Of the machine
III its dangerous upward flight. Directly
perpendicular il ascends as true as All
arrow y pause ten the front wheels
fall and the revolution is made. It is a
scientific law put II daring execution,
and the slightest departure from the
proper course would mean certain death
to the brave girl at the wheel.
The act is spsll-bi11dng. Spectators
are held rigid and tense with suspense
and excitement during the few seconds
the act requires The Young woman re
ceives ! salary Of 500 per second, and
| those who have seen the act say she
earns it.
There seems 20 be no feat possible
that could SO test the l1rn,G,1 nerve ana
= !lc>s1I,s> like this greatest Of all
! tirillers Nile Ia RaQue, the heroine q
the act, is the most remarkable woman
| i'll the world today.
The miIlion-dollar Fire Drama. which
introduces the main programme IS an
other feature which no other circus can
duplicate. II employs 1900 people. 900
| horses and train load of scenery.
Everything abeu. the big circus this
season indicates the expenditure Of 4
vast amount OF money. improvements III
every department have been made by
wedding ont oil features and replacing
them with novelties. he circus has
grown too. and i'll its new form it IS a
sBlcnddly equipped organization, entire
IL novel in every feature. Something
new in the way Of a street parade is the
| first indication one sees of the vast I'M
proyements made This pageant is fully
| twice the length OF any other and dis
plays not one thing to be seen anywhere
else In it alone are 1900 people and SOC
horses.
! Some idea Of the lavish expenditure
of money that has prevailed in the
Frightening and nevelizing process car
tc found in the fact that one million dol
lars was spent in building the scenery
making the costumes and equipping the
great spectacle. Fighting the Flames.

Encouraging Reports to Brndstreet'-
From Vermont Industrial Ccnters.


Reports to Bradstreets for the week,
particularly from the machine Industries
show demands for goods Is heavy, Other
manufacturing Industries are running to
capacity and general retail trade shows
some gains. Milder weather has pre-
vailed, which has had tendency to
materially assist general trade. Granite
manufacturers are said to be having fair
business at Montpelier ana Barre The
strike among the cuttre* at Hardwlck
mas tied up business generally up to last
Saturday night no change In situation
of an incip'ent nature developed
last week among the railroad en-
ployees but was speedily settled.
FURNITURE manufacturers while employed
to capacity, note advance in prices has
had tendency to curtaiI trade for the
present but this is looked upon MS
temporary matter. As the maple sugar
season approaches the farmers are
making plans to do good deal and from
present indications there will be good
yield Records for week show two
petitions In bankruptcy filed, one grocer
and n meat man.
Burlington reports good business among
manufacturing Industries, all or which are
employed to capacity. Labor at Rutland
is we'll employed and in some instances
plants are running overtime. Wholesale
firms note an Increase in orders received.
St Adams reports weather has been
favorable for teaming, water Is low in
streams and in this latter has worked
some hardship among farmers. Manu-
