WILD MAN CAUGHT
Long Hair and Fangs Were
Gone When Robinson's Man
Was Taken to Jail.
WAS PERFECTLY TAME.

The wild mans orgies ended in the
tamest kind of fashion and much after
that adopted by other wild men who
do not perform in iron barred cages.
That is the wild man of the Robinson
circus. He was very much tanner aft
er being hauled to the city Jail in the
patrol wagon last night. Gone was
his long, unkempt hair, gone were the
wooden fangs from his teeth and gone
was his mean disposition. He was as
tame as a blackbird that has had its
wings clipped and been confined in a
cage since the day it Matched.
The wild man of the circus was
hunting trouble after the sideshow
tents had been removed and the cage
in which he spends the show hours,
was taken to the train. He found
trouble within a short time and like
wise a policeman, who placed him I'M
der arrest. At the city building Mr..
Wildman promised Supt. Bailey he
would not go back to the grounds, but
so to the train and remain there and
leave the city with the show. He was
released upon this promise.

state, while those who pass over the
Main street bridge can gaze down in
to the prettiest river valley in this
part of the country. The club claims
one factory-the Robinson & Co. ma
chine works-and the club members
are justly proud of 1t because it is
one of the oldest and most substan-
tial industries in the city.
Tell Old Tales.
Business men in the boom district
love to tell the stranger within their
gates about the former places of in
terest. First they tell you about the
old court house and the fight their
predecessors made TO have it brought
from Centerville. Then they point TO
the Morel building and say There
was where the first tavern in Rich
mond-the old Commercial House
was located. Old man Peck, you know
used TO run it." Then they point to
the Quigley block, and say. There
used TO be n school house there.
Many of our older club members went
10 School there.
One of the most historical spots is
the building now used by the Star Pic
forum. This building was the form
er location of Jordan's shop-"Jor-
dams Chapel" as il has gone down in
the history of this city. In the old
days the members of the famous An
anias club were wont 10 gather there,
spin their yarns and discuss business
and political affairs. This place was
the lOafing place of the most brilliant,
witty and influential citizens. Right
ly has it been stated that The munich
pal machinery was operated at Jor-
dams Chapel and not at the city build
ing
Should shades of some of the de-
parted members of the Ananias Club
return to Richmond tomorrow and
wander about the district they knew
so well, they would be astonfshed at
the changes which would greet them.
In the evening they would see the
street ablaZe with numerous street arc
lamps not to mention the thousands
Of smaller electric lamps ablaze in the
many stores. They would see hun
dreds of people strolling up and down,
in and out of stores and they would
hear the strains of the music played
by the Richmond City band, located
in the court house lawn.
The program to be rendered tomor,
row night by the band follows:
Two-step-Dixie Bellies . Seymour

CHAUT AUQUA SALUTE
IS VERY DANGEROUS
So Considered by Member of
Medical Society.

The Chautauqua salute or practice
of waving the handkerchief in com
mendation of the efforts of a public
speaker was condemned in a paper
read before the Wayne County Medi-
cal Society yesterday afternoon. The
society members agreed further that
the reports of the dairy inspector YER
flied those made by DR.. J. f. Weller
last winter. DR.. Weller issued state
ments to the press condemning sever
al dairies and was severely arraigned
by the dairymen in responses.

The muscles OF the stomach n old age are not
as strong or active as in youth and in conse-
auence old people are very subject to constips-
ton and Indigestion. Many seldom have q
bowel movement without artificial aid. Mary
also. have unpleasant eructations OF gas from
me stomach after eating. All this can be avoid
ed by the use of Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
which perm anently regulates the bowels SO that
passages come naturally. and so strengthens
the stomach that food is digested without dis
comfort. Druggists sell IL at 50 cents or 81 6
large bottle.

EVANS ON 4RMOR BELT.
IN academic Discussion scith Argu-
ments on Each Side

Washington. March 26-Secretary Metcalf to-
day made public the views of Admiral Evans re-
gardng the location of the arTnor belt on battle
ships, which he has just received in long re-
port from the admiral on this and other subjects
connected with the voyage of the Atlantic fleet
TO the Pacific Coast. The admiral says on this
point:
Judging from the figures contained in the sew
eral replies from commanding officers which re-
late to this subject. il would appear that better
protection might have been afforded had those
belts been originally placed between SIX M the
commanding officer would admit sufficient water
before an action to sink the belt to within apout
eighteen inches above the waterline. But even
this is open TO question, for it has been noteo
that even when heavy laden and in the snooth
TO moderate seas which have thus far characteI-
lied this cruise the ships frequentIy eApoIe '-

II must be remembered that even hve or d
six inch she'll (of which there would be a great
number, could inflict a severe and dangerous
injury if il struck below the belt, While olneT-
wise the waterline even with the belt entirely
submerged. is. account of the caSernate ArLlof
and coal immune TO all except the heaviest pro
iectiles The fact is that under the sea cond1-
tions in which battles may be fought a belt OF
eight feet in width, II considered @ @alone' Is -
narrow 10 afford the desired protectlon "her-
ever it may be placed and the ques,lon
an academic discussion with certain arguments
On each side It is understood that on the la'-
est ships this question is of little import as Cle
citadel arrlor is only one inch less In thlckness
than that on the waterlfne and for those ships
already built il is believed that when the prlosSs
are removed and all weights which will be land
ed should war break out are taken into CON
sideratior2 the ship will rise to the SIX TO tWeIFe
irChas which is believed TO be the maximum that
II could be desired 10 raise them
The report of Admiral Evans Is made III oc-
cordauce with instructions given him by Sec
retarv Metcalf before he sailed from Hampton
Roads The Secretary said II had no reference
whatever TO the criticisms Of naval construction
which have appeared since the sailing OF the
