Those old, pleasant, innocent frauds of the circus are not practiced now the imposing i've barred gates that as the horse approached them were slop- ed into insignificant wattles and the rings through which the stgnorina pur- ported to leap, but which in reality were insinuated over her by compliant attendants And then there was that venerable jockey performance, the cul- imitation of which was leap from the ting to a standing position, albeit at m angle of thirty degrees, on the horses back. In the old circuses 1t was the custom of the horseman to miss the crowning jump two or three times in order that a fiercer flame of interest might be kindled in the audi ence. After two failures the band would stop (always the presage of a moment of strain supreme), the horses head would be loosed, he would be urged to a greater pace, and the feat would gloriOusly succeed. Then what B crash of brass and outburst of de- light in the building, involving even the staff and ringmaster in the expres- sion of ecstasy. Those old, simple days!-CornhiIl Magazine.

WEYMAN, UNNERYED

When I reached the Domodossola valley I saw the Duray signal, indfcat- ing a suitable spot to alight. I wanted to come down and fill the petrol tank. shut off the engine and began plan ing down. What caused the machine to collapse, I don't know, but I sup pose the fearful struggle against the
 At this point Dr. Carle cautioned Chavez to keep quiet Chavez fell into a light sleep during which he was heard to mutter several times.
 ''Too bad, too badT'
 The poor fellow was dreaming about the end of his dream. When he awoke, however, he had regained much of his accustomed cheerfulness and at noon Dr. Carle issued a bull tory.
 Steps are now under way to mark the spots where Chavez started and ended his trans-Alpine flight with suitable monuments, the money for which will be furnished by the 1tal- ian Aviation Society, for whose prize of $2o,00O for a flight from Brieg to ciety also will make Chavez a hand some money gift, probably $10,O00.
 Owing to the destruction of the rographine on Chavez's machine, it is impossible to determine whether he exceeded his own height record in his flight over the Alps, 8,O49 feet
 The report that Pai11etti, French flyer, has also crossed the Alps in an aeroplane, was due to the fact that Brieg and as everyone knew that he i was contemplating the flight over the Pass, it was assumed that he made the journey by aeroplane.

POLITICAL COMMENTS
fstamford Advocate.)


 "That the Republican candidate for wich this year is a generally accept ed belief. That he will be named by James F. Walsh goes without the say ing. That he will not be Judge Burnes is almost a certainty. That Judge Walsh will not run is pretty certain. That the nominee will be a ''dark horse seems to be the general belief. That the Stamford delegates will not accept an out-and-out Nc the Greenwich delegates would not take kindly to any effort to instruct for BulkeIey, there is good reason for believing. That the nominee, who ever he may be, will go unp1edged but in the show down will be found to be for Mclean, if Mclean seems to be in the ascendency, is a guest that as you look at it. That the Demo- crats will be disappointed if they count on e1ecting their candidate be- cause of any difference that might be thought to arise among Republi- cans out of the circumstances outlined above contains, no doubt, more fact than conjecture"
 an observer of things political today, ftthe Greenwich political delegation takes the sweet stuff. Their ability to get astride of almost any situa- ton is worthy of Tody Hamilton des- criptives. They simply can't be beat in the stunt of carrying water on both shoulders. It's case of now you any event some of them are sure to be on the winning side and in Green wich, they say that's successful poli- ticS.''

CULLOM HAS SERVED HIS
 LAST TERM

Springfield, Ills, Sept. 24.-That United States Senator Shelby Cullonl has served his last term in the upper house and that Governor Charles S. Deneen will be his successor, is be- lieved by politicians to have been clearly forecasted in the Republican convention here yesterday when the plank endorsing Cullom was taken from the platform at the last minute.
 As adopted the platform makes no mention of Cullom and today his fol- lowers confess they see the hand writing on the wall. Governor Deneen declares that the plank was stricken out at Cullom's own request but the aged Senator did not attend the con- vention. He remained in his room at the hotel. It was the first time he had ever absented himself from a convention in his long term of ser vice and the first convention failing to commend him.
 It is admitted that Deneen is in complete control of Illinois.

New York, Sept. 24-Hadji Moham- med Jumalui Kiram (which was all of his name that he cared to bring with hirn), Sultan of Sulu. is in New York s midst today. Wearing a black velvet turban with red velvet trimmings, a black suit and boiled shirt Hadji came smiling down the gangplank of the American liner St. Louis and fell into the waiting arms of Major Hugh L.
