eIe CIRCUS coMINe sooN
Adam Foreaugh and Sells Brothers
Show Next Month.


The many lovers Of the circus in
and around Bennington will be de-
lighted TO know that the Great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Shows
are to visit this city on Thursday,
August 4, after an absence of several
seasons.
Added interest is given the event
by the news that this great amuse-
ment enterprise has just blossomed
out with an entirely new outfit from
beginning TO end The building of it
cost the management over 100000
Even the menagerie is new, there be-
ing not one single animal displayed
in it that was ever put on exhibition
anywhere in America. BY the build
ing of an entire new parade, the man
agement naturally discarded all old
ideas. The result Is a three-mile pro
cession of the wonders of the world,
resplendant with fresh gold leaf,
costly costumes of foreign manufac-
ture, vehicles of elaborate European
carving, silvermounted harness and
expensive new trappings, and peopled
with every phase of the genus homo.
A new Standard in menageries has
been established This is mena-
grie in every sense of the word. 1t
possesses real genuine novelties in the
way of animals hitherto missing from
the American ZOOS. Ten acres of
snow-white canvas cover this world
of wonders From the merest pro-
perty up to the great glided parade
tableaux, everything is bright, new
and costly.
And the company of performers is
also new. There is none among the
$50 artists who was ever seen with
a circus in America before. This is
now the most costly of all shows,
1t has daily expenditure of $1,000,
without taking into account the vast
amounts of money constantly spent
by its foreign offices and its brigades
OF animal hunters, constantly in
search Of novelties.
1t can no longer be said there is
nothing new undeE,the sun while the
enterprise and wealth of this big cir
Gus are playing the leading part in
the amusement affairs of the coun-
try. Novelty is a most striking char
acteristic of the entertainments pre-
pared by this splendid show And
real novelties are secured from all
parts of the earth regardless of cost
New York City, where only the great
est of novelties will pass the critical
scrutiny of experienced amusement
seekers, the seal of approval has
been set on the great entertainment
which the Forepaugh and Sells Bro
there management are this season
presenting under the greatest spread
OF canvas ever erected.
The big show fills every nook and
corner of the Madison Square Gar
den, the greatest building devoted to
amusements in America. The same
parade and the same identical perfor-
mances that were given at the open
ing night of the circus in the spring
will be repeated here when show day
comes. The people of Bennington
are fortunate in having an opportuni-
~ OF attending this great circus
which stands foremost among all the
shows Of the world.

A sERNHARDT TRICK
How the Divine Sarah Fooled the
Critics.

CriticS.
Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently
called upon in one of her marvellous
creations to enact the role of a sculp-
tor, and to model a certain bust in
view OF the audience. This fairly
electrified the critics, but when 60

cal skill in handling the clay which
Nine. Bernhard exhibited they show
ed that they knew little of the artis-
tic tricks of actors and actresses; as
a matter of fact, she does nothing of
the kind. The bust is modelled and
baked, and over it is placed damp
clay of the same color This the tall
ented actress merely pulls off. eav-

The Waldemere Cigar.

Eckler & Go. are just now intro ducing a brand new cigar which promises to win higher favor than any of the brands heretofore offered. The Waldemere is a light domestic cigar, rated as a ten-center because it sells at that price but conceded by all who have sampled it to be su- perior to any on the market at that price. Smokers who feel the need of change from heavy Havannas, etc. will find in the Waldemere a tasty and satisfying substitute. Keep your eye on the big Player-Piano Contest now in full swing, and save every vote as the finish bids fair to be a hot one.

LABOR PROTESTS
 G0FF'S DECISION
RULING OF SUPREME COURT, DECLARING STRIKE FOR CLOSED SHOP
 ILLEGAL.

New York, Aug. 29.-Parades of protest broke out all over the East Side on receipt of the news that Jus tice Golf had ruled in the state su- preme court that a strike which de- mands the "closed shop is con- spiracy in restraint of trade.
 Bands of 60,OO0 cloakmakers now on strike marched through the Sstreets, one of them to city hall, carrying ban ners and American flags and shouting Closed shop" at every step. There was no violence, but unrest and anger were everywhere visible among the strikers.
 Justice Goff's decision granted an injunction to a member of the Man ufacturer' Protective association in restraint of acts of violence, threats, picketing and patrolling by strikers.
 Lawyers familiar with strike liti gation declare that if Justice Goffs ruling is sustained by the higher courts it means the end of any eff fort to conduct a strike for a "clos- ed shop" by any other means than holding public meetings. By the terms of Justice Goffs order strikers may not follow workmen on the street and attempt to persuade them, even in the gentlest manner, to strike. The strikers are also enJoined from calling upon the working cloakmakers at their homes and attempting to per Suade them there

GOMPERS ON DECISION.

Washington, Aug 29-Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration or Labor, was greatly stirred by the decision of Justice Golf, which in effect declared that efforts to en- force the closed shop. were in viola tion of law on the restraint of trade, Said MT. Gompers:
 Justice Golf quotes an unjust de- cision in support of his own and that is supposed to be good law. The un- ions of labor will live, despite in functions and decisions which invade guaranteed rights and human liberty. Without the unions there is no possibility for protection of the workers against the tyranny of the absolute autocratic ways of con- centrated capital and greed

BAR FIGHT PICTURES
is MINISTER'S DEMAND
Declares They Will Be Demoraliz-
ing and Cause Strife Be-
tween the Races.

Vigorous protest against the exhibi-
ton of moving pictures of the Jeffries-
Johnson fight in the National Capital
was voiced yesterday by Rev. John
Compton Ball, pastor of the Metropoli-
tan Baptist Church.
IN a sermon to the members of his
congregation on The Possible Reproach
OF Reno and Its Certain Aftermath"
the preacher declared that it was bad
enough to have the fstic exhibition at
all. but much worse to have it exhib-
tied night after night all over the
country. The influence of the pictures,
he maintained, will be demoralizing,
and, no matter which fighter wins,
they will stir up racial feeling.
LAS our Commissioners have been
petitloned not to allow an exhibition
of the pictures" he said. I'VE will wait
patiently and see what will be done
and II they are permitted to be shown
petition will be prepared for the
members Of the church to sign praying
for the discontinuance of the exhibit
ton at the earliest possible moment"
The minister denounced the prize
fight as bestial and immoral in effect.
and declared that 1t endangered the
social structure.
