NORRIS AND ROWE'S CIRCUS.
A Big Crowd attracted to This
Famous Show.

Monday last was gala time in
jackson, being the second appearance
of Norris and Rowe's circus at this
place. The big caIavansary was here
two years ago. and drew large
concourse on that OCCASION. Monday,
however, it is believed the gathering
was considerably larger than on the
first occasion. Being the only APP
pearance in Amador county, or within
radius of over 70 miles of jackson,
people came from all the towns in
the county TO witness it. Visitors
we're here from many points in Gala
veras county. When the parade took
place at 10 30 a. M, people thronged
each side of Main street to see the
pageant, and it was fully up to OK
pectations. The spot selected for the
tents was the same as on the pre-.
vious occasion. in the field near the
old toll house on the Kennedy grade
There we're two big tents pitched,
one covering the circus rings proper
and the animals connected with 1t
the other containing all the side
shows, which we're 10 or IL IN num-
Der, the admission to the latter, be-
ing 25 cents, emitting one to go
through the entire list. There was
one side show outside in which a
snake charmer-a Mexican half breed
Indian woman was exhibiting with
40 or 80 reptiles-including deadly
snakes. She professed to allow them
to bite her with impunity, claiming
that she was immune, that her sys-
tenn was so impregnated with the
virus that it had ceased to have any
effect. Of course, this was not gener-
ally credited, and the opinion pre-
vailed that the loathsome reptiles had
been rendered powerless to indict
harm.
At the afternoon show the side
show, and the big tent, with seating
capacity of about $500 was we'll filled,
most of them being reserved seats.
The same was repeated IN the even
ing. 1t is estimated that from 1900
to 1000 people we're present on each
occasion, and that the total receipts
from all sources for the day WAS over
$1,000.
AS far as the performances we're
concerned they gave excellent salts
faction. The horses and riding,
acrobats, trained animals, clowns,
and everything relating to the show
was fully up to the high reputation
enjoyed by this great com bination
catering to the public amusement.
Probably from 1000 to 1900 people
from the outside we're in this city
during the day, and this influx meant
largely increased patronage. tor
hotels, stables, restaurants and other
business houses. The circus people,
no doubt, did paying business too,
but the attendants got dollars
worth for their money.

Ii Looks FiShy.

"About this time look oct for squalls.
1t is the story of every campaign.

dence, the month of October produces a

are all so. Nobody doubts any of them,
no matter if this paper does point
conclusively to the election of the Dem

Republican. They are all based on
faet-for the time being.
But no national election in the United
States is settled by influences for the

Japan'S Welcome to Fleet.

The arrival of the fleet in Yoko-
hama Bay recalls, naturally, the grave
misgiYings of many persons when this
visit was first preached. There is no
doubt this Government believed a few
months ago that the danger of con
flict with the Japanese was not alto
gether fanciful. 1t was feared inst that
country would misunderstood the for
bearance with which its demands and
yelled threats in connection with the
admission Of japanese to this country
were taken and, spurred on by an ex-
citable populace, would 90 too far. The
voyage OF the fleet around the world
was intended as a demonstration to
Japan as well as the rest of the world
It served that purpose at least for the
time being, because there was instant
.discontinuance of a tone in the Japanese
diplomatic correspondence that had be-
gun to tell on the temper of the Amer
lean State Department.
1t would be entirely too much TO say
that the visit has settled all our trou-
bles with Japan, but it has done some
thing. 1t caused cessation Of the talk
of fight, which was becoming entirely
too common. 1t served as a hint TO the
japanese statesmen, who were growing
more and more difficult, that bluff and
buster cannot carry the day. Lastly,
1t gave the japanese public opportu-
nifty to show their friendliness for this
country and permitted us to see how
warm hearted is the welcome extended
1t is much easier to come to terms
when the people of two nations are
in a good humor with each other.
Reading of the magnificent reception
to the fleet at Tokyo and Yokohama
he is a very irritable individual who
does not feel his blood course a little
faster at the vigor Of the ''banzais,
whether or not the power Of the feet
makes the japanese more polite in the
future. If it doesn't, there Will be some
distinguished officials at Washington
who have missed their guess, besides
spending a lot of Uncle Sans good
money for a smaller return than was
anticipated for the outlay.

A Teachers Mandate.

Supervising Principal Ebenezer Mac
kay, of Trenton, n. J., has issued a
mandate-please notice the word man
date, for its first syllable is significant
to the effect that during school hours
the teachers in that city should not Use
the official telephones TO convey OF re-
ceive messages tinctured with the ten
der sentiment. lie recognizes the fact
that after school hours and on other
phones they may do as they please.
This is a measley mandate, indeed
Given a teacher whose bosom is filed
with the holy emotion Of love is
smothering with it, so TO say is it
not Just that she should release a
portion every now and again during
the day to enable her TO 90 on com
fortabIy with her tedious task Of teach
ing? In other words, is it not cruel
to ask that she stife her feelings, that
she suppress the palpitating yet pleas
urable agony that permeates her being
and causes her heart TO throb and heI
eyelid to culver, merely because she
hasn't got a wireless telephone in her
pocket over which she can talk without
being overheard by the principal.
Unless Mr.. Mackay Is prepared to
rescind that mandate we predict for
him interviews with agitated yet in
teIlectual maidens such as he will re-

Bad Art News From Abroad.

Elm all the exhibitions that 1 have
seen, have never viewed anything
so thoroughly poor and decadent as
the fall salon in Paris. Even in color
and draughtsmanship the work had a
crudity that was ineXcusable while
IN the selection OF subject the work
was revolving and destitute of any
art Conditions abroad. MT. Ftscher said ID
that the present art OF Germany IS
fully as decadent as that Of France,
although possibly not so indecent and
vulgar that IN Holland there exists
& better condition; that in England
the work is thoroughly sane and Sc
rious. perhaps too serious.
This is the judgment of well-known
connoisseur of the graphic arts. 1t is
based upon secure knowledge and ear
nest study first hand of modern Euro
Pean paintings and sculpture. 1t may
be assumed to reflect not only an IN
affected pleasure in good art for its
beauty. but an understanding of the in
terest which attaches to good craftsman
ship. The effect of it all is that crudity,
grotesqueness, abnormality, and care
lessness are the pronounced character
istics Of current art endeavor in France
and Germany.
Is this the fruit Of the recent Gin
dependent" and "secessionist" move
ments of which so much has been
heard? Is this the logical end of the
revolt against the academic? Have
Monet and Meunier, Manet and Rodin,
Hoffman and Bistolf, only paved the
way for excuses and ugIiness? 1t is
hard to believe.
The more likely thing is a union of
half understanding on the part Of sloth-
full followers and a depraved taste on
the part of patrons. The substitu-
ton OF style" for pains is one of
the oldest frauds of the indolent art
student. What if his drawing is bad,
his modelling execrable, if only he can
leave brush or tool marks that give
his work INTEREST,"" And what need
to be careful of perspective OF proper
tions, to keep color truthful, to let self
express itself through its best impulses
rather than its cheapest, if this in
terest" will sell the poorer product?
But in the end, such counterfeits, like
any others, wear out their market. Art
is not the sufferer so much as the
artist. A bad public taste may delay
the reckoning, but good taste is certain
TO assert itself, punish the fraud, and
even give proper recognition to the
movement of secession" or "independ,
enee" or revolution" as far as its vir
tues warrant, despite the reezlessness
Of It's followers.
And as the interview quoted make:
manifest TO the thoughtful reader, Their,
is nothing in this situation to dis
courage the American artist. On tn,
contrary, it is a widening of his op
portunity. For the extravagances O.
