THE SERIOUS CHINESE
From the London Globe.

United States consul In China, having
been asked whether 1t would be worth
while sending merry-go-rounds to the
celestial empire, has advised his coun-
trymen, through consular report, not
to endeavor to sell them there. One was
taken to Shanghai about 10 years ago.

fancy. Though many circuses have since
visited the country none of them took
merry-go-rounds, which form such pop
ular class of entertainment in other coun-
tries.

From Justin McCarthy's "reminiscences
Hawthorne was one of the handsomest

attention of anyone who CHANGED to see

Daring Cycle Riding

Il have seen all the thrilers on and
off the stage, all the circus features, all
the fair attractions the aviators and the
parachute leapers, but the thrill that
thrills me most of all is the Globe of
Death which is in Birmingham" said
Morte Semon yesterday "Dr. C.. b.
Clark and his graceful wife hold an aud
fence spellbound with excitement, which
is almost fear, for 10 minutes while
they are circling al a terrific rate the
hazardous globe of death. 1t is a globe
of steel 20 feet In diameter, with a three--
inch mesh, so that the audience can see
the riders easily. DR.. Clark first enters
the globe and gives an exhibition that is
nerve-racking. Mrs. Clark then joins
him, and they rush at each other on
motorcycles, and for a second a collision
seems unavoidable. But they escape ac-
cident. Then DR.. Clark enters the globe
again, tests his motorcycle and spins
round and round, up and down, defying
the laws of gravity, going at the rate of
As miles an hour on a fve-horse power
motorcycle. The audience literally stands
up and yells. People get so excited they
become weak.
II was talking to Dr. Clark recently
and he told me that he had been in the
bicycle business all his life. One lead
to another and finally he Joined Barnum
& Baileys circus as Diavio in daring
stunt called the loop-the-loop. Later he
Joined the Forepaw & Sells circus, doing
still more daring act called leaping
the chasm. He leaped 1t every time
but one, and was unconscious in the
hospital for long time afterward. Then
he invented the globe of death,s which
cost him $4,000 to build, and this has
proven to be his greatest thriller His
wife was a bareback rider with the Bar
mum circus and they were married while
he was with that show Accompanying

Business Conditions

Henry Clews, in his Saturday review,
says in part:
THE betterment in conditions previous
ly referred to in these advices has al
ready resulted in fair recovery of val
ues. Within the past two weeks many
serious doubts disappeared or moderated
the market showing consequent relief
Among these doubts were the crops, the
political outlook and the monetary posi-
ton. In all three of these respects the
outlook is distinctly better than a month
ago. Corn is now practically out OK
danger from frost, and a 5000, 00O, 600
bushel crop Is doubtless assured. At 80
cents per bushel this means the crea-
ton of 81, 5O0, 900 of new wealth. Corn
is by all means our most important crop,
inasmuch as it enters so largely into the
providing of food for man and beast, and
is an element of growing importa nee
in the Industrial world. 1t also provides
an immense quantity of freight for the
railroads, both in its crude form and in
the shape of meat and other products
Our cotton crop has thus far escaped
any damage from frost, and producers
will be fully compensated by good prices
for all shortage in supply. The south
at least should enjoy uninterrupted pros
perty.
las to the political situation the smoke
of battle has much cleared the issues
are plainly drawn, and the forces ar
rayed on both sides can be distinctly
seem 1t may be said that there is no
longer any problem particularly dis
turbing in the political outlook
I'm the money situation there is no
longer any danger of the squeeze antic-
ipated this fall. The last bank state
ment showed the banking situation at the
leading centers to be sounder and much
better than anticipated. General trade Is
quiet, being less in volume than a year
ago, and no great strain is likely to fall
upon the money market so long as Spec
| ulation is kept within reasonable bounds.
At present there are no prospects of
any violent outbreak in the latter direc-
ton. Capital is still scarce and some
what timid. Investment conditions are
good and the stock market is benefiting
from the period of rest and readjustment
which is taking place in other depart
ments of our business machinery
