Harris Old Fashioned
Circus

Tho Charles n. Harris Circus and
Trained Animal Show which will shortly
appear in this place will present for the
amusement and edifcation of the public
one of the best attractions that has ever
snown here. Throughout its tour the
show has been received most graciously,
and the applause for the sterling quality
of every act is only justifable consider
ing the merit of the entertainment pro-
duced.
The New York World recently printed
a telegram from Pierre, S. Oak, in
which, speaking of Bob Yokum's u
buffalo, it says:
His team depicts the most sensa-
tional of the old West life and is reve-
lation of mans mastery over the most
obstinate of all wild animals. His are
the only riding and driving and trained
bison ever known. They are full blooded
buffalo, and Major Yokum states that
for five years his buffalo team has been
his treasure.
"The current belief that they are prac-
tically untrainable only added to his de-
termination to conquer and educate them.
The more his friends Knocked the greater
effort Yokum employed, and at last. after
many discouraging efforts and attempts
and repeated failures, he trained his
buffalo not only to harness, but to saddle
when they are diven the animals
seem very much to enjoy the trick, but
they buck every time they are under the
saddle As the old Western saving goes,
1t takes a man with hair on his breast
to ride these buffalo,"
w. Fl. Dunn with the Harris Circus
has trained his baffalo to ride to saddle
and do other stunts. 1t will be seen by
the World story that Dunn has accom-
plished marvellous thing, and besides
has an exhibition prize of rare value.
No doubt the buffalo is the star
feature. 1t has been impossible to get
people to believe that the buffalo, which
has withstood all efforts for fifty years
to train him, can be trained, but Dunn
has not only trained the one with the
Harris Circus to do many interesting
tricks, but also succeeded in getting him
to act in conjunction with two sacred
cows and family of Swiss goats in a
way little short of the marvellous.
1 he people who see this genuine wild
Western buffalo this season may never
see one again.
1nOSe WHO WlSHeu 10 DE ScdItu anu
thrilled are fully gratified by the daring
trapeze and high wire antics of the dar-
ing troupe of acrobats.
For the delectation of the children and
cir mothers, the circus gives the largest
md best pony act of any circus on the
road. A dozen ponies, beautiful and per-
fectly trained, together with the dog"
and monkeys, show the height of ami
intelligence, in series of evolutions
ring tricks.
OF course the clowns are in evidence
with entirely new stunts, and no one can
complain of the lack of tine funny side.
The acts are all of the highest grade,
and are all shown in one ring so that
every one gets the full return for their
money. Unusual efforts have been en-
ployed to make the canvas interior light,
so that the evening performance is in
every way as enjoyable as in the day
time. A waterproof big top protects the
patrons as well as if they were indoors.

An Old Newspaper.

Sewell W. Smith has in his posses
sion copy of the New Hampshire
Herald which was published Decem.
Der T. 1884. This is probably the old
est paper that can be found in the
town. The paper is we'll preserved
and because of its excellent quality
and of the good ink that was used at
that time it can be read without any
difficulty.
1t is interesting to read and one
notices with some amusement the
advertisements that are in it. For in
stance: A business mans advertise
ment will start out advertising WOOL
Ell goods but it will end up some
thing like the following in large type:
Jamaica Spirits, West India and New
England Rum, by the Hogshead, Bar
rel or single Gallon. One man gives
notice to those who are owing him to
pay at once. He will take wheat
rye, or Indian corn or any farm pro-
ducts. The paper Is not without its
humor. 1t reads as follows:
On Sunday last gin bottle be-
longing to an elderly lady of New
Haven fell from the top of a chest
of drawers and broke its neck. The
lady has been very much out of spir
its since. The same day fire broke
out in an old womans tobacco pipe
and entirely consumed the same.
Once again it reads: DR.. Franklin
in his address to those who would re-
move to America in informing them
of the reception they may expect on
their arrival, introduces the follow.
ing speech of a negro, viz: "Boccaror-
ra (meaning the white NAM make de
black man workee, make de horse
workee, make de OK workee, make
eberyting workee, only de hog. He
de hog, no workee; he eat, he drink
he walk about, he go to sleep when
he please, he lbb like a gentleman.

FATAL NUNCI0 CALLS
 ON COL. ROOSEVELT
Vatican Envoy Makes Formal
 Visit to EX-PTeSident.

Relations between Theodore Roose- welt and the pope were restored on Saturday when Mgr. Granite di Bel monte Pignatelh, papal nuncio at Vii enna, called on the eX-president at the apartments of Ambassador Kerens in the Bristol hotel in Vienna immediate ly after luncheon given in MT. Roose- velt'S honor.
 The arrangements for the call were made by the nuncio through Ambas- sador Kerens, who is a Catholic and was thus in a position to deal with the delicate situation. MT. Kerens advised Mgr. Pignatelh that he purposed to give luncheon in honor of MT. Roose- welt. The Vatican envoy asked if any diplomatic representative had been invited MT. Kerens answered in the negative, upon which the nuncio stat ed that in the circumstances he would not come to the luncheon, but that he would be glad to call on MT. Roose- welt in the apartments of the ambassa- dor.
 AS the nuncio in his official robes of dark purple silk and wearing a purple cap entered the room MT. Kerens has, tened to greet him and then presented him to MT. Roosevelt. The nuncio and the ex-president then withdrew to an- other apartment.
 Exactly what passed between the ex-president and the nuncio was not disclosed, but Mgr. Pignatelli express ed regret that MT. Roosevelt failed to see the pope.

BRYAN CALLS ON GAYNOR.
Says He Would Like to See New York's Mayor Elected President.

William J. Bryan arrived in New York on Monday from Porto Rico and made visit to the city hall, where he talked for nearly an hour with Mayor Gaynor.
 Reporters who interviewed MT. Bry- an later mentioned to him that Mayor Gaynor was being talked of in the west and south as the logical Demo cratic candidate for the presidency. When asked what he thought of the chances of the nomination of MT. Gay nor, MT. Bryan replied:
 T have known MT. Gaynor for many years, and I knew that when he was elected mayor of this city he would make a fine record for himself. He is making a splendid record, and he is attracting the attention of the coun- try, and I would like to see him elect ed president"
 MT. Bryan was reminded that the in quiry was as to what he thought o1 the chances of Mir. Gaynor being nom mated. 'I repeat" he would say only in reply, ''that I would like to see MT Gaynor elected"

as political constituents, would exer- else the franchise, should be in favor of it. At present there is considerable doubt upon this point.
 ''In certain of the states which have tried it woman suffrage has not been a failure. 1t has not made, I think. any substantial difference in politics.
 My impression is that the task be- fore you in securing what you think ought to be granted in respect to politi- cal rights of women is not in convinc- ing men, but it is in convincing the majority of your own class of the wis dom of extending the suffrage to them and of their duty to exercise it.''
 At Fridays session of the Woman's Suffrage association the delegates gen. erally repudiated the action of those who had hissed the president, and resolutions were passed apologizing for the discourtesy. A letter was writ. ten to the president, conveying the apology, and he made courteous reply, saying he hoped the incident would soon be forgotten.

of the nineteen towns. There was the largest vote cast probably that was ever cast at a special election in the United States.
 So intense was the interest that the city cast within 5000 votes of the vote that was cast at the last regular con gressional election in 1908, when a president and a governor with other state and local officers were running.
 The total vote for the major parties fin the county was 43,785, while two years ago in the contest for congress between James B. Perkins and Her man $. Searle, the Democratic candi- date, there were 5, 1883 votes cast for the two major party candidates.
 The total city vote was 33,032 for the major party candidates against 41,- ATT cast two years ago in the congress sional contest, the total town vote was 10,753 against 14,386 cast two years ago.
 Democrats hailed the victory as equal 7n importance and political significance to that won by Eugene N. Foss in Massachusetts, and they ascribe the victory to dissatisfaction with the Payne-Aldridge tariff law and the high cost of living and to the $1,O0O graft charge made against Aldridge and not successfully denied
 MT. Ravens said:
 -'This is not wholly a partisan vic tory. Tn larger sense it is the vic tory of the free people of Rochester and Monroe county over a bipartisan organization and its boss, The Demo crats of Monroe county were united in support of the cause I stood for to an extent that was very gratifying to all, and with them were the great mass of Republicans of this county who longed for better politics.
 "While this may be justly heralded as a great Democratic victory it was no less victory such as the progress Sive Republicans have been winning both in the east and the west. It is a victory over the things for which Can non has stood and for the ideals which Governor Hughes typifies.
 "The result of the vote in the city wards shows that the revolt of the men who most feel the high prices of necessaries against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill has not been exaggerated The people of this county, feel cer. tain, demand an honest and reasonable revision of the tariff schedules in the interest of the consumers and not in favor of the special interests which exchange campaign contributions for favors in legislation"
