BIG CIRCUS IS COMING
Norris & Rowe Shows Will Exhibit in
Dallas on Wednesday,
May 6.

In review OF the Greater Norris
and Rowe circus, museum, menagerie,
hippodrome and congress Of nations
which will exhibit in Dallas after
noon and night, Wednesday May g.,
Colgate Baker, the dramatic critic on
the San Francisco Chronicle, Of Jan
uary IL wrote: ''The Greater Norris
and Rowe circus and hippodrome
began an indefinite engagement at
the Auditorium yesterday and were
greeted by large and enthusiastic audi
ences. The development of the Norris
and Rowe circus has been progressing
rapidly, and the variety and scope of
the programme offered yesterday could
not be surpassed by any circus COM
pany in this country. There are fif-
teen display feature acts exhibited, as
we'll as scores OF others, almost as
entertaining and Of no less Importance.
The menagerie has been enlarged to
formidable proportions, while the cos
tuning and ring management is first
class in every respect So many good
things are presented that many visits
will be required to the big circus, if
one wishes to see all that is being pre-
sented. They are today in the very
fore rank of the big circuses Of this
country. 1t is doubtful If better per-
formance of the kind has ever been
seen in San Francisco"
During the run Of the show in San
Francisco, which extended over a per-
iod Of thirty days, 979,s73 persons paid
admission to see it. Their success in
San Francisco was the most signal
one ever achieved in the metropolis Of
the west The entire press Of the city
was in accord in proclaiming it to be
the best circus ever given in the city.

]. A. Robertson, S. II. Station, La
fayette, Ind, writes that Mrs. Fereby
Newly, of Mill Shoals, ILL.,, has been
restored to the pension rolls at $12 per
month and given arrearages of $4,000.
1t will be remembered that Mrs New
by's husband was killed at Shiloh, and
80 years afterward a man appeared
who claimed to have Deen Newly, say
ing that he had been severely wounded
at Shiloh, taken prisoner and kept in
confinement for a long time. during
which he lost his memory. Mrs. Newly
recognized him as her husband. and
lived with him as his WIFE He was
was afterward denounced as a fraud
impostor, altho he had in his defense
the testimony of Mrs. Newly, his moth
er and about 40 witnesses. There were
80 witnesses, however, who swore that
he was really "Rickety Dan" Benton, OF
Tennessee. He served out his three
years in the penitentiary, and after liv-
ing several years with Mrs. Newly, who
had given up her pension on his ac.
count and still believed him to be hel
husband, he wandered down to Geneva
Ala. where he died i'm the poorhouse in
1905 and was buried in the potter's
field. For several years the widow
sought to have her pension restored
but the Bureau held that as she had
lived with a convicted impostor she
had forfeited her right. Commissioner
Warner. however. has taken a different
view. and restored her to the rolls with
arrearages.

city in the world. Only Paris exceeds
it in population. Paris has double the
population of Buenos Ayres. but the
other famous Latin cities, such as
Madrid, Rome. Naples, Barcelona, &C.
noa, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro,
fall far behind it in population. Rome,
Madrid, Barcelona, Naples and Mar
settles have each less than half the
population of Buenos Ayres. Mexico
City, Lisbon and Genoa have only about
one-third of the people that there are
in Ruenos Ayres. The growth of the
city has been by leaps and bounds. In
1901 it had only 10000 people. but SO
years later it had $4,000, and its rapid
growth began about 1870, when it had
1900 Twenty-Five years later 1t had
663, 600, and in 1900 over SOC, 900. Here
you can see that the development of
the city, INTELLECTUALLY and CONNER
cially, has been on par with its growth
in population, and that we are follow

The Army and Navy.
Every young man of good physical
constitution Is required to serve in the
army or navy. From 20 to 20 he serves
in the line, and then passes to the Ma
tional Guard. where he serves until he
is 40, and then he goes to the Terri
torial Guard. where he remains until
As. At present the line numbers about
10000 men, besides which there is a
standing army of 16,600 men and 1850
officers. There is a military school for
cadets like West Point. The navy is
quite considerable, and embraces two
| battleships, four armored cruisers, three
protected cruisers, two torpedo gun
boats, four destroyers, IL torpedo boats
and one submarine. The personnel
amounts to between 5000 and 5000
men, and Argentine is increasing her
naval establishment each year.

A Trial will Convince Anyone.

And yet he fights them at every turn,
and is proving anew what a doughty an
tagonist he can be. His latest stroke
was to gain the party organization in
Cuyahoga County, one Of the most pop
ulous Counties of the State. Many of
his friends have deserted him, but he
fights on, and may yet get few of the
delegates. The leaders at the Capital,
however, are not SO much concerned
now about splitting the Ohio delegation
to the Convention, for they have put
up such effective barriers to the Taft
candidacy elsewhere that they reason
they can keep him from getting the
nomination on the first ballot. That
has not been fully demonstrated yet,
and it may turn out that the Secretary
can get the nomination just as the
President predicted he would some two
weeks ago.
The Conventions begin this week,
which means that results can be tabu-
lated more or less definitely every week
from now on. The Florida State Con-
vention meets Feb. 6, and the Federal
ofIiceholders are in for a battle royal
to determine whether the four dele
for Taft or uninstructed. The allies
have their lieutenants at work in Flor
! ida, not so much with the hope OF
| beating the Administration as in laying
broad and deep the foundations for 1,
successful contest State Committee
meetings and State Conventions will
follow rapidly, altho it will be We'll into
| March before any of the big States act.
Beyond all the manuvers and machin-
! atoms in this tremendous struggle to
| determine whether the President or
Congress shall control the next Con-
vention and nominate candidate for
President looms the question of what
| is going to happen If Secretary Taft is
defeated. AS soon as the allies DEM
onStrate that they have more votes than
Taft has, If that Is demonstrated when
| the first ballot has been taken, there
will come the great struggle among the
allies as to whom they shall agree upon
Then will be the opportunity for real
President-making. If Gov. Hughes
grows in public estimation as his friends
hope he will grow the effort might be
to center upon him. But Cannon, who
will have much support outside of 1lli-
nois, would yield very grudgingly, and
for one reason or another the same
would be true of the other allied can
didates. And there will be the diff
Guilty among the allies of preventing
some of their strength slipping away to
Taft as the Administration favorite
President Roosevelt would have to be
kept in mind, for ne can be depended
upon to pull off some dramatic stunt
that might swing the Convention, not
withstanding all the well-made prep
arations to have steady men on the
| floor who would not lose their heads in
a whirl of party enthusiasm.
