and Then Blows Out Brains.

Joliet, H., Sept. 21.--John Paw
legio, nineteen years old, Monday
staked his life on the turn of caro-
and lost. He then blew out his brains
with a shotgun. Dependency, ii Is
believed, over love affair caused
the deed. Pavlegio went to his room,
took up pack of cards, drew out
one and looked at it. He then drop
ped the pack, according to a young
err brother. took the shotgun from
beneath his bed, placed the muzzle in
his mouth and pulled the trigger.
Pavlegio, 1t developed. had been
accustomed since childhood, to maxi
ing decisions by cards. His relatives
believe therefore, that, meditating
suicide, he determined to leave his
fate to the cards and drew an I'M
lucky card. He was employed by the
Chicago and Alton railroad.

CIRCUS WITHOUT GRAFT.
Employees of Sells-FIoto Show Civil
and Courteous.

and Courteous.
Speaking of the recent visit of
the Sells-Floto shows to Seattle, the
Star has this to say:
There are three vital defects in
the Sells-Floto circus. In the first
place, you pay only % cents to see
it; in the second place, the employees
are all civil, even courteous, and
thirdly, there is no grating in the
show.
'Who ever heard of a civil ticket
seller in a circus? Who ever con-
ceived of a circus without pick
pockets and grafters? and finally,
who ever experienced seeing real
big tent show for 25 cents?
surely Mr. Tammen, one of the
owners of the show, is ignoring GUS
tom. Perhaps the public is pleased
with his policy. 1t would seem So
as 1000 people were turned away
from the main tent last night. II
you arrived after. o'clock, you did
not see the inside of the main tent.
THE disappointed ones instead OF
returning home, found solace in the
side shows, the admission to which
has been reduced to 10 cents.
''Of course, it was the same old
time side-show, but you saw it all
for a dime Two or three thou
sand people were turned away in the
afternoon as we'll
THE show itself is not quite as
extensive as some that Seattle has
seen. Bur that is an attraction in
itself. You can see it all. When
it comes to paying so cents to 60
to the old time eight ring circus, or
25 cents to Sells-Floto, lot of fell
lows will choose the latter.
'The equestrian acts are bette~
than any circus ever brought to
Seattle. The clowns ere good,
with several brand new acts. The
famous Nelson family, who know no
peers in acrobatic work. and the
Borsinis with their rolling Globe,
are both top liners in the tent world.
None of the eighteen big acts is I'M
worthy of the largest show in the
country"

A Remarkable Trolley Trip.

Twenty-one business men of Utica,
conditions, with a view to gathering
points to be made of home advantage,
have just returned from a novel out
ing-perhaps the first of its kind in
the elaboration thereof. The journey
was made in a special trolley car, well
fitted up for the comfort of it's occu-
pants, and in the journey about 1000
miles were covered, the trip extending
through New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Michi-
gan, the party reaching Louisville on
the south and Detroit on the north.
The general passenger agent of the
Utica & Mohawk Valley & Oneida
railway worked for four months in adj
vance of the departure of the party in
making arrangements for the trip by
correspondence and engaging to have
pilots meet the travellers at the begin
ming of each new division of road.
This meant that at every important
place along the way the Uticans had
been heralded and leading citizens of
the places visited extended generous
hospitality. One of the Utica land
lords went along, so that all the hotel
accommodations were carefully pro-
vided for, leaving the travellers free to
enjoy themselves and absorb knowl-
edge and other things. The general
manager of the Utica trolley was also
of the party, and his knowledge of the
divisions of the different railway sys-
TENS over which the party travelled
made everything go like clock-work
The secretary of the Utica chamber of
commerce had sent letters ahead to
all the business organizations of the
cities visited, and that was a great
help. In fact, from start to finish,
this remarkable trolley journey was
