John Early Of lynn Must
Remain N Washington.

RALEIGH. September, g.
Acting Attorney General Glenn
ent Friday rendered a decision
that John E. Early, of Lynn,
N. c., the leper now quarantined
in the District of Columbia, could
not be transferred to North Caro-
lima, and his wife who is with
him must be quarantined endef-
nitely by the health board of
Polk county in case she returns
to her home at Lynn.
In his opinion the attorney>gen-
eral says there would be danger
to people in the trip whether by
rail or through the country; that
the disease became apparent in
Washington and that North Caro-
lima is not called upon to care for
citizens i'll in another state or in
the United States outside of this
State; that there are no provis-
ions for a case of this kindin the
charity of the state and that
Early is a discharged soldier of
the United States, with the dis
ease contracted while in its SER
vice; says it is the duty of the
Federal government to care for
him.
In case Mrs. Early. returns to
Polk county, he holds that she
must be quarantined indefinitely.
THE Government has allowed
MI. Early a pension of $72. 90 per
month. which will enable him to
care for his wife and infant son,
and, while it may be hard to re-
main isolated from home and
friends, the state has taken the
proper course in endeavoring to
prevent the return of this unfor-
tunate man to North Carolina.

On Brink Of Precipiee Man Rescued
from Death by Friend.
San Bernardino, Cal, Sept AR
chic l.. Banks, a prominent resident
of Philadelphia, was saved from in
slant death by William Rogers, of
New York, in a most remarkable NAH
ner In the mountains near here.
A party Of four-James Archer, OF
London; William Rogers, and Robert
Shea Of New York, and Mr.. Banks
were riding on one Of the slopes of
the San Barnardino range.
Banks horse slipped and his rider
rolled down an embankment toward a
precipice. At the very brink he
grasped a small bush, which was
about to give way under the strain,
when there was q swish of a 1asso
and the imperiled man found himself
encircled by a rope, thrown with un'
erring aim by Rogers. With the ex-
ception Of a few bruises and a severe
nervous shock, Banks was uninjured.

The Circus.

John Robinson's circus gave
one exhibition here Friday.
There were probably seven or
eight thousand people in the
monster tent, besides Judge Pace
the biggest crowd ever assem-
bled in Hendersonville tat one
time. The performance seemed
to be satisfactory to,a large part
of the crowd.
The show was giveniN that
vacant field back Of the pumping
station. The original intention
was to have it at Columbia Park,
but the bridges were considered
unsafe.
The people began arriving in
town from the country at day
break. The parade was witness
ed by a crowd which made Main
street almost impossible. The
circus exhibits today in Asheville.
There were a few fights, a few
DRINKS, and many people had
their pockets picked. The circus
management used every endeavor
to protect their patrons from
these gentlemen. One man was
chased off the grounds, but he
escaped.
The circus grounds we're SIM
ply covered with people, thou
sands of them here to spend the
whole day. Of course there were
the customary side shows,
the red lemonade and the usual
fakirs.
One man. had a wheel of chance,
which certainly was a gambling
device pure and simple, and he
seemed to be doing afairly salts
factory business. The people
from the country handed him
their money as fast as he could
take it. He had a roll Of bills
almost too large to hold in his
hand. A colored man kept guard
over a big cigar box fulIo f silver.
f.. -
Had this gambling been sup
pressed many a Henderson coun-
.ty man would have more money
in his pocket than he has today.
The circus takes thousands of
dollars from the community and
leaves hundreds. Robinson's is
one of the big four shows of the
country. Their winter quarters
are near Cincinnati. They en-
ploy 76O people, and maintain the
strictest discipline. It cost them
about $3.50 to pay their licenses,
ETC.. in Hendersonville.

John LO|O.

John Lolo, one of the mana
gers of Robinson's circus, was
in the Hustler office Friday
He is one Of the old-time famous
clowns, centemporanous with
Dan Rice and a few others equal
~ well known. He is 81 years
old, and has been with Robin
sons shows for AZ years, enter
ing the profession at the age OF
nine. In those days circus
clowns were artists. Different
now. John Lolo received a salary
of $3.50 per week and expenses.
One man in those days would en-
terrain a crowd which now takes
% or 80 to amuse. Mr.. Lolo was
born in Georgia and has travel
led the world over. For 81 years
his home has been in Cleveland,
Ohio, where his family now lives.
There is hardly a country any
where where he has not caused
thousands to laugh.
Speaking of the circus business
Mr.. Lolo said no licenses were
required in European countries
where they look upon the modern
circus as an educational insti-
tuition.
Next to Dan Rice, John Lolo
was probably the most famous
clown in the world in his day,
when clowns were artists and
not rough house comedians

PSYCHOLOGISTS
'The statement published in the
Toledo Times as you report 1t to me
is grossly misleading. The only basis
for any such statement that / can re-
call is this: As l was leaving the ho-
tel to take the train for Cincinnati,
gentleman introduced himself to me
and told me he represented the Tole-
do Times and that the Associated
Press was sending out a long story
some 2.G00 words, IS I now remember
his acknowledging an account OF
an agreement that had been entered
into as a basis Of peace between Judge
Taft and myself, and he wanted me
to give him my version Of the matter.
No Agreement OF Any Kind.
"I told him there had been no agree
ment of any kind, neither made nor
suggested; that there was no trouble
between Taft and myself; that the
trouble SO much talked about in the
newspapers was manufactured; that L
had not made, at any time, any re-
quest OF Judge Taft and he had not
made any Of me; that we had met on
the reviewing stand at the public
meeting which we both addressed;
that our conversation on the reviewing
stand was only social and that which
would be naturally suggested by the
character Of the occasion; that at the
public meeting we had no private con
v~ersation and what we had said at the
public meeting spoke for itself-that is
all there was of it. / bid him good
evening and went to the train.

found to stop the publishing of these
misunderstanding reports"

OUR NEW LECTURES.

Believing that the lecturer is to
the Union what the preacher is to
the church, the executive commit
tee has put into the field large
force of lecturers, regardless of
cost and largely as an experiment,
and | want to warn these lecturers
that the treasury will soon be
emptied, unless they produce re-
suits The Union made money by
putting in the field such men as
M. A. Brown and H. w. Brad
shaw, because they took in new
members wherever they went, and
the fees and dues paid in by these
new members more than repaid
the state the expenses of the lee
lures.
For instance, my lecture at
Flora on the 18th inst. netted the
treasury some $13 besides the
monthly dues that will follow, and
that was comparatively nothing
to the effect following lectures by
others elsewhere, for Brother JAS.
Duton, for instance, called for
converts at the close of one of his
lectures and forty-two Mississippi
farmers answered the call, and
Brother A.W. Myers could no
doubt beat that. Such results en-
courage the lecturer to go for
ward with his work and also en-
courage the committee to keep
such men in the field. Now
brethren, please understand that
am not intending to criticize any
man in the field, but to warn you
that your brethren expect certain
things from you and ] sincerely
hope they will not be disap-
pointed. Remember that it is re-
quired of any man in any station
or position to make good. = = Put
