More than 200 people from the
Badger state visited the Alaska
Yukon Pacific Exposition at Seattle
in the first two weeks, and this does
not include the members of the Wis
consin Society who reside in Seattle.
Since the Legislature of Wisconsin
made the $1,000 appropriation to
aid the society in carrying out a
fitting celebration on Wisconsin Day,
which falls on July Is, plans have
been rapidly pushing to completion
and but for the names of the speakers
everything is now determined upon.
The Wisconsin society has a recep-
ton booth in the balcony of the
Liberal Arts building and desires
that everyone from Wisconsin regis
ter there, giving the town they come
from and the hotel address in Seat
tie. Through this means, friends
from other parts of the state or
country will be able to get in touch
with each other. Mrs. Mabel B.
Bold, University of Wisconsin "00,"
is in charge of the booth and will
gladly give any information desired.
She will have the program of special
events for Wisconsin visitors and of
the various receptions which will be
held for their benefit.

Twentieth Century Ideas
a Few Changes that have Taxi
en- Place in the Circus
Business

Do you remember the circus of
childhood days, which consisted of
a few performances of mediocre
ability, possibly a lion, an ele-
plant, and several old red wagons?
In comparison, the present day cir
Gus is a thing to marvel at. To
transport the Greater Norris and
Rowe Circus, Museum, Menagerie,
Hippodrome and Congress Of Ma
tons it requires forty double length
cars, or three special trains.
There are about 200 performers,
and about $50 people in all depart
ments. Sleeping Accommodations and
three meals day for this vast
army of souls must be provided,
and as they are a rugged class, the
food must necess arily be of a good
quality and abundant. The acres
of tents and other paraphernalia of
the circus must be erected on short
notice; the parade given, two per-
formances, one in the afternoon and
the other at night and jump to the
next stand of possibly $50 or 200
miles made. Pretty fine system,
this, don't you think? A veterinary
surgeon and two assistants to look
after all of the stock in the show.
An ordained minister is with the
circus as spiritual advisor, and to
hold services in the tents of the big
show every Sunday, morning and
evening. And the strange part of
it is, that scarcely a performer or
workingman around the show fail
to avail themselves of the benefits to
be derived therefrom. A graduate
of Stanford University, with a M.
A. degree after his name, gives free
of charge, instruction to all of the
children and employees of the show
that care to avail themselves of this
splendid opportunity for advance
ment. A we'll equipped blacksmith
shop with three husky blacksmiths
are carried with the circus. A har
ness shop, in which is repaired
most of the harness used on the SOC
horses, is another department. A
barber shop with three frst-c1as'
BARRIERS, for the accommodation o
the employees, is another depart
ment. In the ticket wagon is vel
equipped office, with typewriters
secretaries and clerks. 1t is from
this place that the vast machiner'
of the show is kept oiled, from tn
master, mighty brain of the genera
manager, H. S. Rowe. Every littl
detail of the vast circus is locke
; after here, and if there is a quiett
or buster office in the country tina
; that presided over by Manager Row
we do not know it.
It was this same modest man tina
brought about the consolidation @
the three big circuses of the world
The territory has been so divide
. that but one of the big circuses vii
visit certain territory any give
year.

The Philippine Tariff

Senator Root of New York, has
not taken a very prominent part in
the tariff revision business, but
when the question of imposing a
duty upon sugar and tobacco i'm
ported from the Philippines came up
for consideration, he moved an
amendment reducing the proposed
tariff one half, and made a strong
plea in support of his motion. His
motion was just as unceremoniously
voted down, however, as it would
have been had it been offered by
Beverage or La Toilette.
Mr.. Roots motion would have
been more in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things" had it
been to eliminate all tariff duties
upon Philippine products. Ter
ritorially, the Philippine Islands are
an integral part of the United States,
and in imposing tariff upon the
products of such dependency the
American people are breaking faith
with the Philippines. This breach
of faith is the more reprehensible
because perpetrated at the behest of
the already over bloated sugar and
tobacco trusts. The American peo-
pie will never do the wholly square
thing by their Philippine wards un-
til all trade restrictions in the line
of tariff duties shall have been re-
moved.
There is no logical or just reason
why the Philippines should be dealt
with as a foreign nation in the mat
ter of imports, and when the tariff
revision promised by both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
shall come if it ever does, it should
contain no Philippine tariff schedule.

1t was given out, some time ago,
by the friends of Congressman Len
root, that he will not vote for the
Payne tariff bill, when it comes up
for final passage. Present appear
ances indicate that it will be of such
a character as to justify his voting
against it. In fact, he could not
vote for what it now promises to be
without violating his ante-election
pledges to his constituents.

1t is reported that when the Payne
tariff bill is returned from the Sen
ate to the House it will show that
approximately seventy-fve per cent
of the Din9ley tariff schedule has
been retained, nine per cent reduced,
and the other sixteen per cent in
creased. 1t seems to be quite gen
orally taken for granted that the bill
will go to a conference committee,
but the committee will be SO consti-
tuted that an agreement can easily
be reached. 1t will then be up to
President Taft to say whether the
present out-of-date Dingley tariff
schedule shall be continued, or
more pernicious one substituted
therefor. In either case, the COM
mon people will have been bun
coed" by the Republican and Demo
cratic parties jointly. The next
question that will properly come up
for consideration will be What are
the common people going to do
about it?"

It disposes of a large estate of which part is real estate on Noroton Hil1 The estimated value of this property is s10.000. Mrs. Vigouroux's estate con- sisted chiefly of life interest in her husbands estate, which is located prin- cipally in New York There was the Vigouroux business house, and a good deal of New York real estate The value has been estimated as high as half million. In Mrs. Vigouroux' S will. beQuests of $2,0OO each are made to her grandchildren, George Vigour- oux, Gustave Vigouroux. and Amelie son Emile; a bequest of s2,OO0 to Jenny Flood, who was in Mrs. Vigouroux's s employ for more than 30 years; one of S200 to the widow of the testatrix's deceased brother. Gustave Thomas, Of Newark, another, of $200, to the widow of another deceased brother, Adolph Thomas of Puy. Haute-Loire, France, and a beQuest of $400 to Annie Rey- holds. who was in Mrs. Vigouroux's employ for five years. The residue of the estate goes to Emile son of the testatrix, who has a summer home on Noroton Hill
 Baby Took Strychnine.
 The baby daughter of MT. Roy Tripp of Shelton, managed to secure some strychnine tablets, that had been pre- scribed for Mrs. John Tripp. the child g grandmother. and the child swallowed a number of these-how many is i'm possible to tell The tablets that would have been entirely harmless for the grandmother were of course a tre- mendous dose for the year and a half old child, and if it survives the dose it will be almost a miracle. Just how the child managed to get hold of the tablets is not known, but the fact that it had swallowed some of them was discovered immediately. Dctors were quickly on the spot and everything possible was done to save the child. The child was somewhat relieved, the terrible spaSms that had been almost constant had practically ceased, and the physicians admitted that there was a bare chance of recovery.

Used Kerosene.

Thomas Roberts, aged. ten years, son of Richard Roberts, of Rowayton, was seriously burned, last week, while att tempting to hurry along fire in the kitchen stove. The boy used kerosene oil Hberally on the smouldering flames, and in an instant the fire flashed up 4n his face, and he was very painfully burned.
 Capture of Counterfeiters.
 Secret service men arrested last week six Italians, charged with counterfeit Ing, in connection with the raid made by the force at the farm and property of Joseph Fegelle, in Wilton The six men are: Joseph Fegelle, who is said to be the packer financially of the en- tire propositions; Caesar Mandra,. an expert die sfnker: Rocco Figiulo. a printer: Philip Florie, Antonio Posca and Michael Amico- All are held un- der bonds of $5,O00 except Fegel1e, whose bonds are fixed at $10,000. Fe- gelle owns an estate of about 40 acres at Wilton. It was here that the secret service men discovered the plant.which appeared to be almost ready for the issuance of money. It is believed that only a few bills, five in all, have yet been issued. but a very complete plant was found. Some of the secret service men had been stationed on a farm near Fege1le's for some time, and they noticed one of the men coming out one day and burying something, marx ing the spot with f1agstone. After he naQ gone they went over, ana uIl- earthed some plates. Then the raid was made. In the plant there were found plates for the making of $5 Indian head bills, a large printing press for printing bills, a quantity of onion skin paper, which is a very close im- ftation of the paper used by the gov ernment. some coupon bills. There were 200 ounces of sheet silver. 925 fine, which is 25 grains finer than the government uses. Captain Flynn said he was sure none of the silver had : been circulated yet. and believes that the only bills out are four, which were found on Ffgliulo, and one on Fegelle. He figured that the men had invested about 5000 in their plant.
