It needs argument to prove this Take, for example,

month Let him become good patron of saloon and he
loses his job and must seek other less profitable
ployment The is of the skilled machnist

BUSINESS
CONDITIONS
ARE LIGHT

The whole iron industry Is in the
depths of summer dullness. the United
States Steel Corporation having drop
ped its activities TO GO per cent of its
total capacity. Some of the small In
dependent steel companies are going
relatively more, but others less. The
American Steel and Wire Company has
stimulated the wire trade somewhat
since it openly dropped 81 per ton un-
der the previous cuts of 81 to 81 per
ton, but in other finished lines business
is decreasing in volume. Even in fab
ricated structural steel business is
small, the aggregate new business last
week being only about 1900 tons.
The railroads are still lethargic. The
Carnegie mills are to roll $4,000 tons Of
rails for foreign orders.
Although the Gary mills have orders
booked far in advance, new business
for future bookings is said to be light
at the present time.

AcRoBATs WITH H AGENBEcK CIRCUS.

The circus parade having become an
honoFed institution with the public and
the event looked forward to with keen
interest, the great Hagenbeck-W allace
shows, which exhibit here August /,
have not abandoned feature SO essen
tial to complete realization of all cir
Gus days call for and promises. Rather,
there has been a greater effort than
ever before to make the pageant Of
the present season more insipringly
beautiful and novel than those that
have gone before With complete re-
construction and enlargement of the
HagenbeckW Wallace shows the task be-
came comparatively easy, merely call
ing for financial outlay in proportion
to that IN other departments. The
thousand people and four hundred
horses were sufficient in number, but
the demands of the parade designers
were for new floats, dens, cages, lairs,
tableau cars, band vehicles, chariots
and new costumes and trappings
throughout. An appropriation amount
ing TO a small fortune was called for
and made. Artists who have made q
speciality of festival decoration design
ed the many new wagons, directed
their construction and personally work

pert costumers designed and construct
ed the variegated uniforms and regalia,
using the richest cloths and finest ma
terials. The clothes of gold and silver
and the howdahs with which the ele-
plants are covered and bedecked are of
Oriental design and architecture and
rich in coloring beyond description.
The filigreed trappings of the horses
and their bejeweled brides and head
dresses are triumphs of the art of the
harness maker and silversmith. Ban
ners and heraldic devices are of en-
broidered silks and satins. The
Oriental section lends a picturesque
ness beyond compare. Animal cages
containing rare and wonderful wild
beasts, trained to obey the master-will
of man. are disclosed to the astonished
gaze, while the marvellous geological
exhibits are shown in all their savage
beauty. Such is the veritable fairy
| land of pageantry outshining the fam
Gus Arabian nights and feasts Of India,
gathered together in a parade that has
never before been equaled by a circus
aggregation.
