there Wednesday;
Sun Brothers do not present the
biggest show on the continent, to
the public. but like the proverbial
saying, good things come in small

with what they did have to offer.
Both performances were good. clean
exhibitions of merit and furnished
entertainment and amusement in
large packages for everybody under

Blind Travellers.
lPearson,s Weekly

The recent refusal of a railway
booking clerk to issue a ticket to a
blind man who was unaccompanied
by guide would have sounded rath
er ridiculous to James Holman, the
famous "Olnd traveller. -
Although absolutely sightless, this
remarkable man visited, early in the
last century, almost every place Of
note in this world, and throughout
his wanderings he was quite unat
tended. Yet he never met with any
serious mishap.
His energy and adaptability we're
marvellous. He scaled lofty noun
tains, forded broad and rapid
streams, and crossed in safety sandy
deserts that taxed to the utmost the
powers of normally con, tituted indi
viduals.
Naturally he met with many ad
ventures, some of which he incor-
p lrated in a most interesting vol
ume, now out of print and very
rare. At one time he was travelling
in the wilds of Eastern Siberia, driv-
ing his own sleigh, which he picked
out each morning and harnessed
himself. This was reported to the
Russian Governor, who ordered him
to be arrested and deported as a spy,
believing his blindness to be assum-
ed. He was probably the only male
European to be conducted over an
Oriental seraglio. an experience
which befell him not once only, but
on three occasions. This was done
to crafty the curiosity of the dusky
beauties of the harem, who were
glad to be able to see and converse
with an educated white man, with
out losing caste by being seen in
their turn.
Many other blind travellers have
since made similar extended tours;
and one of them. DR.. Louis Shep
pard, has recently beaten all rec
ords by going twice around the
world, covering, in the course of
his sightless wanderings, over 100. 900
miles. But then, of course, travel
ing is not now the difficult and dan
gerous business it was in Holman's
times.

Coming Building Material.

Concrete is composed Of cement,
sand ard fine rock or gravel. It's
manufacture is as old as the Roman
Emf ire, but it is only of late years
that Portland cement has been
known; and that the wonderful COM
bination of cement and steel-rein-
forced cOncrete-has become an i'm
portant factor in building operations,
especially in supplanting structural
steel. So far as the supply is con-
cerned and likewise the value of
concrete as building material, its
position as a competitor of stone or
as a supplement to stone in building
operations is in most instances unas-
sailable,. while the reinforced con-
crete beam and column have, in the
opinion of many engineers, great ad-
vantage for certain purposes over
steel framing. The constituents of
concrete are not only unlimited in
quantity but they are widely dis
tributed, so as to be cheaply procur
able in every section of the country;
and when properly made it seems to
be not only the equal, but in many
respects the superior, of the very
best building stone, excepting prob
ably the question of appearance,
Moreover, it is useful in a score OF
ways where stone and brick cannot
be economically employed. SAND
and rock or gravel are, of course
present in every State IN the Unior
in absolutely inexhaustible quaint
ties, and the materials for the manu-
facture of cement are only slightly
less widely distributed and plentiful

Delineator for September

When a magazine finds some one
who can testify to an experience
that is really novel, it sccomplishes
what is almost impossible in this day
of strenuous living and much writ
ing. In its September number, the
Delineator presents an article by
Alma V. Lafferty. the only woman
member of the Colorado Legislature.
Being a Woman Legislator" is a
frank confession of difficulties en-
countered and obstacles overcome.
Mrs. Lafferty tells what she accomp-
lished and she does not omit to re-
cord her failures. What she says
will be read with special interest by
all who are interested in social re-
forms.

BRIEF MEETING
Of Council And Contracts
Awarded.

The city council held an adjourned
session at $50 o'clock Saturday
night to receive some reports and
transact some unfinished business,
The lateness of the meeting was
on account of Councilman Randle's
absence, as he did not return from
Paris, Tenn. until the night train.
Bids for concrete pavements on
the city hall fronts and on the Main
Street bridge approaches were
opened and the contracts awarded
to the Meacham Contracting Co. the
lowest bidder at 10 rs and 1920
cents per square foot and so cents
per lineal foot for concrete curbing.
The ordinance known as the election
passed every two years,
was re-enacted.

authority to increase the order for
asphalt for street work, if results on
Ninth street prove satisfactory.
