When the Greater Norris and Rowe
circus, museum, menagerie, hippo
drome and congress of nations ex-
hibits inthis city Saturday, July 8, a
clown will be noticed with hirsute
adornment that rivals the acrobatic
piano virtuoSo, PadereWSki. This
clowns name is down on the pro-
gram as Mickey Feeley-a rather
Celtic sounding cognomen. His
name in reality is Prince Romanoff
Ipwichiwich Pertowski-a genuine
Russian nobleman, who was accused
while attending the University of
ST. Petersburg, of conspiring
against the interest of the Little
Father of all the Russians" Mich
olas, the Car, and in order to
escape with his neck he emigrated
to the land of the free and the
home of the brave" and is taking
chances twice day on the neck that
he fled from Russia to protect.
Mickey, as he is affectionately called
by his fellow performers, has a
peppery disposition, but is good
fellow and is we'll liked. His royal
blood sometimes gets to boiling in
his blue veins at some imaginary
wrongs and straight away he sends
in his resignation, that he might re-
turn home and revolutionize the
state of affairs in his fatherlard.
Mr.. Rowe takes him in hand on such
occasions and persuades him that
it is infinitely better to turn double
somersau1ts over herd of elephants,
and other hazardous feats in the
circus than TO return to Russia and
work in the Salt Mines the rest OF
his life and the argument generally
wins out. The Prince, or Mickey, is
unquestionably the greatest acrobat
in the world. This fellow does the
almost increditable feat of turning
a double somersault from the bare
ground, and his full double twisters
and round off doubles are feats that
will thrill the most blase. Norris
and Rowe have over forty acrobats,
and clowns with their new big circus
but the prince is the best by long
odds. During the engagement Of
the big circus in San Francisco, the
Russian Consul and some of the
most influential Russians in the city
were at the circus daily. No doubt
they did not like the idea Of one o.
the Royal blood of Russia turning
somersaults and making funny face:
for living, but they had to acknowl-
edge the price success. Norris
and Rowe guard Mickey from pros
pective heiresses, but the Prince /:

City Clerk Nichols is back from the

all OF his time since leaving early in

longer visits in New York and Phi,a-

Il was particularly interested in the
transportation situation In the metrop-

lem there is rapid transit rather than
low fares, and the subway develop.
ment is something astounding to a pro
vincial like myself. They have sta
tiOns on the subway, underground,
that are as large as our union sta
ton.
Philadelphia is far behind New
York in transportation, OF course, as
IL is not so large city and has not
the problems TO meet that New York
has. Detroit electric cars compare
favorably with the cars that saw

The city clerk could not forget his
old habits and spent considerable OF

But IL r. mighty good To be back

MAYOR WOULD AWAKEN
BUILDING COMMISSION

Mayor Breitmeyer has started TO
wake up the building commission and
hopes to get that body started on its
by. None of the money allowed the
commission last year has been sent
and the mayor does not believe the
new estimates put in this year are
likely to receive much consideration
unless the commission does something
to show that IL is alive. He has re-
quested the commissioners TO meet
and agree on plan to take up the
duties of their office.
Lack OF building code has been
the reason given for the inactivity OF
the commission for the year and
three months since it was appointed
by Mayor Thompson. This code has
been in the hands OF committee OF
architects and there is no assurance
as to just how long It will take yet to
make II law.
What Mayor Breitmeyer wants is TO
have the building commission take
hold now under the present laws, ap-
point men as inspectors and get the
office in running order before the new
code is passed. Building Inspector
Claxton's term expires June 80, and
then the last vestige OF the old build
ing inspection system will bd gone.
The work is admittedly too heavy for
Claxton and one assistant now. and
the heavy building season that is ex-
pected will make conditions worse.

TEMPLE "HEADlINERS"
Why the Dramatic Stage Has Been
Drawn Upon for Some OF Its
Most Brilliant Stars.

The question has often been asked
the management OF the Temple the,
ate. II the engagement of high-salaried
dramatic stars Is profitable and
wise investment for a theater like the
Temple that would draw capacity aud
fences without them. The answer IL
that they are not Immediately profit
able. for big headline act. like Nc
lntyre and Heath for instance, has
ito be surrounded by an exceptionally
good company or the whole show will
iall fiat and the object soughtw Ill not
be obtained. The object In booking
big headline acts is TO draw people TO
the theater who have never been there
and making OF them regular patrons.
The Temple theater. as is Well known,
has an established clientele, patrons
who come week In and week out.
Among this established patronage are
assertions from time TO time; people
move out OF the city, change the mode
of their lives. or decide upon living
the simple life. To All In such gaps IT
was found necessary 10 draw upon
that considerable number found In all
large cities who never attended a
vaudeville theater. A famous star
was as a rule draw certain percent
age OF such people. and should the
vaudeville bill surrounding this star
be good one, there Is every reason
to believe that these new patrons will
visit the Temple again and again. To
surround the star with mediocre bill
would not obtain the result desired;
hence the names of Cressy and Dayne,
Edward f. Connolly in George AIDE
playlet. Mcintyre and Heath. and 80
ON and so forth. while not Immediately
profitable are in the long run highly
profitable.

WATCHING A STOMACH
DIGEST FOOD

Made Possible the Cure Of
Dyspepsia

The Able Spallanzani was the :rst
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers OF the gastric Juice,
but II was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation OF our exact knowledge ~
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, -
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while II was yet a terri
tory, and was called upon to treat "a
gun shot wound OF the stomach in a
Canadian voyageur-.Alexis St. Martin
When the wound healed permanent
opening was left by means of which
food could be placed In the stomach
and gastric juice taken from IL.
Beaumont made scientific expert
ments with his crude means and wrote
Y book, which today Is recognized
among the classics of physiology
Beaumont Dlazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine
knows what the stomach does with
food and what food does TO the stom-
