THE GREAT sELLs-FLoTo CIRCUS
Differs from Other Shows.

There are many ways in which the
Sells-Floto Consolidated Shows differ
from other circuses and a. visit to this
monster tented enterprise when it
comes to Kenosha, Wis.,, August 18th
will cause people who have been com
planning that all shows were alike to
qualify this statement by adding e ex-
cepting the Sells Floto Shows
The menagerie is more than twice as
large as that carried by other circuses.
The only mandrill in captivity is in
this department. The only hybrid
lion-tiger, with the lion s stripes on the
tigers skin, is another rare feature.
A great street parade is given in
every city visited. And the turnout Of
the Armour International Prize Win
ming Champions is the biggest feature
offered with any circus Of the present
day.

The heads of the postofice depart
ment realizes as well as anybody else
that no man should be obliged to work
seven days in the week at any job but
how to give the public Sunday mail
delivery and still give the clerks their
full day Sunday is a problem that the
postotfice heads have never yet been
able to solve. Many of the patrons of
the Office must have their mails Sun
day and they would never consent to
have the Office closed all day but all
of the clerks who are required to put
in their time sorting and preparing the
mails for delivery on that day should
receive some kind of compensation for
this work either in the way of overtime
pay or in extra time off during the
week. IN

Captain William Mitchell Lewis is
likely to be accused of almost anything
before his campaign for the Republican
nomination for governor is ended but
no one isglikely to accuse him of being
afraid to state his views and the rea-
sons therefor on any subject under the
sun. We believe that Captain Lewis
does not claim to be politician but a.
business man in politics but some of
the politicians will have to take a leaf
out Of his book and take the voters in
to their confidence as to their stand
on certain questions before the cam
paign is ended unless all signs fail. The
people of the state appear to be in a
very inquiring turn of mind just at
present.

CONTEST WILL Be FRIENDLY
Local Candidate Insists That AS His
Friends Have Taken Out Petitions
for His Nomination it Would be I'm
fair for Him to Quit.

Attorney Calvin Stewart has not
been overawed by the entrance of
Thomas M. Kearney Of Racine into the
race for the Democratic nomination for
congress in the First Wisconsin district
and he has notified Mr.. Kearney that
he will stick in the race and take his
chances. Attorney Stewart received a
letter from Mr.. Kearney on Wednesday
in which the Racine attorney stated
that he had been urged to enter the
field as candidate for the office of
member of congress but that he did not
desire to take out his petitions unless
it was entirely satisfactory to Mr.. Ste
wart and Jay Page of Elkhorn who
had been named by the district commit
tee at the Milwaukee conference as
candidates for the nomination. He did
not state that the action of these men
would bind him but he intimated that
he had been advised that neither Mr..
Page or Mr.. Stewart desired to make
the run for the nomination.
The city attorney fastened to relieve
Mr.. Kearney of any misconception in
the matter and in letter which reach
ed Mr.. Kearney late Wednesday even
ing he informed him that he would re-
main in the race for the Democratic
nomination. In his letter Mr. Stewart
declared that he had not sought to take
out papers but that as he had been
named by the committee and as papers
were now in circulation for his nomi-
nation he did not believe that it would
be fair to his friends for him to retire
from the race even to give Mr.. Kearney
clear field Mr.. Stewart, however,
assured the Racine man that he wei.
coined him as an opponent for the
nomination and assured him that the
contest for the nomination would be
entirely honorable and that he would
not seek to take any advantage on ac-
count of the fact that he had been
named for the Office at the conference
at Milwaukee. It is understood that
Mr.. Page will retire from the race and
will leave the field to Kearney and
Stewart.
It is understood that the candidacy
Of Michael Higgins for state senator
will be conditional to Kearney running
for the nomination for member of con-
gress and for this reason the Demo
cracy have sought to remove all opposi-
tion to Kearney. In the event that
Michael Higgins does not run for the
nomination for state senator it is
thought possible that Former City At
torney John c. Slater will be named as
the Democratic candidate for this of
fee. Attorney Slater was asked to
make the run before Mr.. Higgins but
he expressed desire to have the Dem
ocrats find some other candidate if pos
sible. Local Democrats seem to believe
that Attorney Slater would make even
a stronger candidate than the Racine
man and they are still insisting that he
enter the race for the nomination.
Mr.. Slater has insisted that his per-
sonal business will not permit him to
give up the time to the Office should he
be successful in the primary campaign
and at the election.

It is rather a pity all things consid-
cred, that those eminent gentlemen who
are given credit for preventing Dem
ocratic members of the Illinois legisla-
ture from being bribed to vote for Al
bert j. Hopkins for United States sena-
tor did not stay right on the job. The
need for their services in that line
apparently did not disappear with the
elimination of Mr.. Hopkins from the
contest.

SHIP SUBSIDY
 EXPORT TRADE
These Subjects to be Discussed
 Before Board of Trade.

James L. Ewe1I and John D. Long, representing the National Association of Manufacturers. will discuss the ship subsidy and export trade questions be- fore the Bridgeport Board of Trade, Thursday evening"
 Recently the National Association has undertaken a campaign of educa-, tion with view to bringing before the manufacturing and mercantile in- terests of large cities the importance of the export trade to national pros perity, at the same time showing the obstacles in the way of promoting this trade and how they may be overcome.
 James L.. Eweu. who particularly discusses this subject, speaks out of many years experience in this field He was the founder of Dun's Interna- tional Review, which he made lead- ing export journal. and when the Ma tional Association decided to issue it's own export publication. MT. Rwen was secured the manager.
 In connection with the development of our export trade. thes National As sociation has been brought to a con sideration of the decline of our foreign Merchant Marine and the great handi- cap which this situation imposes upon our foreign trade.
 This subject is considered purely from a. business and patriotic point of view, although special attention is call- ed to the measures now pending in Congress. MT. EweH will also advert to this subject. but it will be treated more fully by John D. Long.

Reason and Instinct.

4 certain north country miner was particularly proud of clever little dog he possessed. At times he was apt to claim little too much for his pet, and one morning a neighbor was en- deavoring to point out the difference between instinct and reason when an amusing interruption occurred. A seedy looking tramp turned the corner, and the dog, without so much as a word from his master, sprang into the road and offered battle.
 There you are" laughed the miner as the dog snapped and snarled around the heels of the tramp. 't'E don't like the looks of the chap. That's instinct"
 Suddenly the tramp turned and kick ed the dog into an adjacent field.
 '"There you are,' calculated the min CTS friend grim1y. t'The chap don't like the looks of the dog. An that's ason."-London Tit-Bfts.

EFFECT OF HEAT.
Why Standing Before a Hot Fire
 Makes the Face Red.

Wny 0IanQtH9 BSTOFS BIT0
 Makes the Face Red.
 When one stands before a hot fire the face becomes red, as we all know. This result is the effect Of the action of radiated heat on the nerves con- trolling the small blood vessels of the skin. These tiny vessels are normally in a state of moderate contraction. Under exposure to heat they relax and become distended with blood. The same process, under the mysterious connection of the vasomotor nerve system with mental impressions, pro duces ordinary blushing.
 In regard to exposure to direct heat the reckoning of the skin, together with the uncomfortablly warm feel ing accompanying it, may be looked upon as one of the useful little dan ger signals with which we are sur rounded. Persons who from any cause have lost their susceptibility, as is the case in some forms of paralysis, may expose limb to heat until seri- ous injury results.
 The reason that the face chiefly f1ushes is that in the ordinary posi- ton near fire 1t is most directly ex- posed to the rays of heat, while most of the body is shielded by clothing; that the nerves of the face are partic- uIarly sensitive in this respect and that the skin there is more abundantly furnished with blood vessels.-London Standard.

SMITH WINS OUT AND HILL CLIMB
 IS CALLED OFF
Automobile Club Formally Aban- donS Annual Event at Meeting
 Last Night.
LOCAL MILITIA OFFERS MEN
New Scene For Hill Climb to be Looked up Before Next Year
 Rolls Around.

t'By reason of the persistent OppOsi- ton of certain resident on Sport Hill and because of the clubs desire to hold such contests only with the same unanimous acquiesence and ap- provaI of all persons concerned, all ways, heretofore given, it is voted that the hill climb on Sport Hill for Me moria1 day, 1910 be and the same is hereby abandoned.''
 Such is the resolution drawn by At torney Henry Stoddard and. adopted by the Automobile club of Bridgeport at meeting held last evening at the Stratfe1d making the most popular automobile event in New England i'm possible. Chairman Ralph M. Sperry of the contest committee presided last evening and after the matter had been thoroughly discussed, the fore going resolution was adopted:
 Frank T. Staples, president of the club, stated that the stand which had been taken by W. B. Smith concern ing the annual hill climb was much to be regretted as every other resident of Easton wanted the event and urg- ed that it be held. Smith claimed that he had consulted Judge Brown of New York and received the information that the climb could not be held pro- vfding he opposed. Then without any apparent reason, he had informed the club that legal proceedings would be taken, if necessary to stop the event.
 Irrespective of the fact that every
 
 the hill wanted the climb, Smith held out and would offer no compromise. The members of the club decided that the expense of taking the matter up legally would be great and might not even then bring the desired result. Smith owned property on the hill last year but took no step toward stopping the climb.
 In the opinion of the club members it would be impossible to select an- other hill on which to hold the climb this year on account of poor road sur faces. President Staples stated that he had been in communication with Se1ectnan Charles Fox of Fairfield who wanted the climb to come to, that town. This matter was not talk en up >to any extent as Fairfield has no suitable hills
 A communication was received from local militia companies offering 75 men to guard the course providing the climb was held. A motion was passed to the effect that a communication be forwarded them explaining the condi- tions and thanking them for their in- terest in the event
 It is probable that in the near fu- ture the club will visit various hills on the outskirts of the city in order to make hill climb possible next year.

JUSTICE MOODY
 WILL NOT RESIGN
His Doctor Says He'll Return
 Strong to Supreme Court in the Fall.
Special from United Press.)

Boston, April 12-That Justice William H. Moody of the Supreme Court has no intention of resfgning, and that, while he is not fully re- stored, he will return to the bench next fall. are statements made here today by pr. Joel Go1dthwafte, his physician. and by J. Otis Wardwell, former partner of the jurist.
 Justice Moody will return to Washington this fall, said Mir. Ward well. While he is steadily ilnprov ing in health he considered the short time before the courts adjourns for the summer would not be sufficient for him to recover sufficiently to re- sume active duties before that time.
 pr. Geldthwaite said of Justice Moody: There is absolutely no ques- ton that he will enter the fall ses- sion better fitted for the full dis charge of his duties than ever before in his life. Justice Moody had been under great pressure of work for sew era1 years and his present condition is due to that alone. His mental condition is unimpaired.''
 Justice Moody is still an inmate of the Corey Hill Sanitariun, at Brook line. where all attempts to secure personal statement of his condition are unavai1ing.

WHITNEY TO GET
 COOKS RECORDS
Paul Rainey, Horseman, Will Ac- company New Haven Hunter
 North.

New York, April 12.-Another expe- dition to the Arctic, during which he expects to stop at Etah to recover the instruments of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, is being planned for this sum mer by Harry Whitney of New Haven, Conn, the man who first heard Cooks assertion that he had reached the North Pole.
 Paul Rainey. horesman, polo player and yachtsman, will accompany Whit ney. Negotiations, it is announced are now being made to charter a suit able vessel, and it is exepcted the expedition will leave St. Johns, N. F, in July. Overtures are said to have been made to Capt. Sam Bartlett, mas ter of the schooner Jeannie, sent to the Arctic last year to carry relief to Commander Peary, to command the vessel.
 The principal object of the trip will be to obtain specimens of big game for museums and geological parks, and the recovery of Dr. Cooks instru- ments will be but incidental.

BLAZE AT CIRCUS GROUNDS CAUSED
 BY GRASS FIRE
Big Top Had Been Saturated With Parafine Dissoyled in
 Gasoline.

The circus lot was afire last night. The field of dry grass which was COW cred with gasoline and parafine blazed up spontaneously and sent up a cloud of black smoke that stretched clear across the city The fire was over as quickly as it came. but the flash and the brief illurnination gave some one such a scare that he sent in an alarm of fire from the box at Noun tain Grove street and Fairfield ave- uI1e.
 The gasoline and parafine were the drfppings from the treatment which circusTnen had been giving the big top Of the Barnum 6, Bailey circus tent all day yesterday. For the purpose of W aterproofing the cloth it was spread out on the ground and treated with melted wax and gasoline. How the fire started no one knows.
 Lieut.. Cronin at No. engine com pany saw the fire. and realizing what it was did not see that it could do any damage. While he was reporting the matter to the chief by telephone the alarm was sounded

The Actors Meeting With Gladstone
 Outside the Theater.
 John Hare. the eminent English lightf1I compliment he ever received double ended compliment. Whichever way you took it it was satisfactory.
 MT. Hare earned fame playing old mems parts, his character as MT. Gold by in "A Pair of Spectacles'' being good example. Added to this was a horror of having his picture taken
 MT. Gladstone had never seen pie ture of the actor, but he knew him well behind the scenes as well as be fore the footlights. The premier's fa- vorite play was stA Pair of Specta- cles,'' and he always went behind the scenes to chat awhile with the actor. The really old man and the made up old man would sit there and talk in the most delightful way for an hour after the show.
 One day the Earl of Rosebery had MT. Gladstone to dinner, and he also invited his friend John Hare. The actor came in smooth shaved, looking about thirty-five. He was presented to Mir. Gladstone, and the. prime min ister shook his hand most cordially and said:
 My dear sir, I am very, very glad to meet you. know your father very, very well. Splendid actor! Fine old man!'
 It took the whole evening for the earl and MT. Hare to convince him that this son WAS really the father.

BODY FOUND IN
 SM0KESTACK
Remarkable Suicide of Ansonia Man, Missing Since Last
 December.

Ansonia, April 12.-By the discovery in the snokestack of the Ansonfa O. & c. Company of the body of Fred erick H. Smith, who disappeared last December, the authorities believe, is revealed the most remarkable suicide l. which has ever been recorded in the history of the state. The body of Smith was found buried under a huge pile of soot in the bottom of the flue and as both the mans legs were broken, it is believed he climbed to the top of the stack and jumped in As the stack is one hundred and two feet. the theory of suicide is almost beyond belief Smith, when last seens was said to have been somewhat un- der the influence of liquor, which makes the supposed suicide even more remarkable.
 Smith, as near as can be learned, was last seen alive the week following Christmas. The factory closed for a few days at Christmas time for repairs and inventory. Smith appeared at the boiler room one morning at 2 o'clock and asked permission to warm himself by the fire. He was in his shirts1eeves which was considered rather strange.

A Great Asset In Business as We'll as

A Great Asset In Business as We'll as
 In Society.
 CheerfuIness will attract more cus- toners, sell more goods, do more busi- ness with less wear and tear than all most any other quality, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. Optimism is the greatest business get ter, biggest trader, the greatest achiev- CT in the world. PessimiSm has never done anything but tear down and de stroy what optimism has built up.
 In the business office. as in society everywhere. the favorite is always the cheerful person. Good natured, cheer full people do not waste their vital en- ergy as rapidly as the grumbler or the too sober, too sad people. They work with much less friction.
 Good cheer is a great lubricant. It oils all of lifes machinery. There is no other life habit which can give such a prolific return in happiness and satisfaction as that of being cheerful under all circumstances. If the reso- lution to cultivate cheerfulness is strongly made at the very outset it will not be difficult to form the cheer full habit, and it will be the best pro- tection against suffering and disap- pointment.
 Cheerfulness is also great pro- ducer. It adds wonderfully to ones active ability and increases mental and physical power. It makes hosts of friends and helps us to be interesting and agreeable.
