The circus has come to town.

arrived over the Chesapeake & Ohio
railway from Richmond, bringing the
sells-Floto circus, which will give
two shows and big street parade

everything ready for the perform

The circus will be located on the
vacant property in the vicinity OF
Wickham avenue and Twenty third
street, where all of the big shows
have been given in recent years. The
street parade will be given this morn
ing. and the performances will begin
at 2 o'clock this afternoon and s
O'Clock this evening. AS this will be
the first and only circus of the year
in Newport News, capacity crowd
is assured. The school children, duly
thankful that circus day is Saturday,
have been planning for the event for
weeks past. Perhaps some OF the
older folks have been planning, too,
fer nobody ever gets TOO old for the
circus.
Various big features are advertis-
ed for the show and zoo. The. Mel
son Family, known throughout the
country as marvellous acrobats. head
the list of ring attractions. Then
there will be the usual circus pro-

is NOT A MILITARY EMBLEM.
Fashion Of Wearing cockade origin
ated In Strings That Served
Useful Purpose.

The cockade originated simply in
the knot of ribbons or strings by
which the broad flaps OF the seven
teenth century round hat were
cooked" or drawn up TO the brim IN
fine weather. and thus originated the
three-cornered hat. as well as the
cooked hat of later times. There was
nothing specially military about the
usage, as the ignorant assert. The
same strings survive in the loops OF
the hats of bishops and other ecclesi'
astical dignitaries In Great britain,
in the strings Of the hats worn by
French cures and Spanish and Italian
padres and in the cords which are still
seen on the hats of some livery ser
wants.
II naturally became the custom for
military men TO cock" their hats with
the livery color of the prince they
served, and as the lianoverian color
was the convenient one OF black. the
black cockade" became associated in
the~minds of the people with military
uniform. In an old Scotch song OF
Shiramuir. citing Woodward's herald
~. we read of the red coat lads with
black cockades." and a knot of white
ribbons was naturally chosen as the
badge of their opponents. When the
old use of the strings was forgotten.
the knot. in the form of a rosette Of
ribbon. survived. just as did the but
tons on the backs of our coats. which
were intended to fasten back the flaps

MEXICAN CRUISER IS

Revenue Cutters.

Upon learning that the small craft
which steamed up the harbor ye5ter-
day morning and dropped of Old Do

ser Morelos, shipping men and others
along the waterfront were very much
surprised. When the vessel arrived
these in shipping circles thought she
was a United States revenue cutter.
The vessel is about the same size
and closely resembles the cutters OF
the treasury department. She is
painted white, has single stack and
two masts.

Collier Vulcan Discharges 1870 Tons
In an Hour.
MILLER MARINE TRANSFER TESTED
New Device Exceeds Government
Contract Requirement by Big Mar
gin-lnvsntor, at Old Point, High
. ly EIated over the Result.

Discharging $50 tons of coal from
one hatch to a lighter alongside, the
naval collier Vulcan. at anchor in
Hampton Roads, yesterday broke the
record for taking coal out Of a ship
hatch and placing it aboard another
vessel. The occasion was an official
test Of the Spencer Miller marine
transfer" device for coaling. war
ships recently invented by Mr.. Spen-
Ger Miller. of New York. The guar
antee given the government at the
time the machines were installed
aboard the collier was that 100 tons an
hour should be discharged, thus it
may be seen that the contract re-
Quirement was exceeded by so tons.
These devices have been installed
aboard the Golfers Vulcan, Mars and
Hector. A test was conducted aboard
the Mars recently and III tons OF
coal was discharged in an hour. Mr..
Miller, the inventor. was at Old
Point yesterday 10 witness the tests,
and left last night for Washington.
Just before boarding the steamer he
talked with a representative OF the
Daily Press about the results of the
test. He was enthusiastic over his
invention, and seemed to be greatly
elated because this test has eclipsed
the one held on the Mars, although
that one was highly satisfactory. He
declared that with his machine, two
men could do the work OF on hun
dred and fifty.
Using the Miller device. collier
lays alongside of a battleship and
coal is hoisted into the bunkers of
the latter The rapidity with which
the machines work depends upon the
trimming, and some ships can take
coal much faster than others. Most
of the battleships have ten matches,
however, and as half of these could
be used at one time, it would not take
long to transfer from a collier as
much fuel as the largest of the ships
could accommodate.
