THE PINCHELOTTE
 FAMILY COMING.
Worlds Greatest Acrobats Are With Forepaugh and Sells Broth-
 arS Shows


 CTS Shows.
 The great Pinchelette family of acrobats, long known in Europe as 1.-the most remarkable of all circus performers, is this season making it's first tour of America with the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers shows, which, on Monday, Nov. [, will give two performances in Pine Bluff Ark
 Their act is the most decided novel, ty of the last decade In the way of sensational acrobatic acts the man. agement of this show has broken all records. For instance, there is Ada Bell Edwards, the Australian amazon, beyond doubt the strongest woman in the world. She lifts 27O-pound dumb bell above her head with the use of but one hand. She bends sil- yer dollars with her fingers She sets her teeth in leather strap fastened to barrel of water and lifts the whole thing merely by den- tai strength.
 Two members of the great Kari Handley trio stand on high tight wire, thirty feet apart. In their teeth they hold the ends of a second wire which they draw taunt while the third member of the troupe performs upon it. Who in America ever saw an act like this?
 Then there is Paul Alvarez, a mem- Der of the greatest company of head to head balancers ever imported. He can stand on his head for one hour, He can dance, walk up and down the stars and skip the rope in this in verted fashion, without using his hands. The Hines-Kimballs are the champion acrobats of Germany. There is great amount of novelty in their performance. The Avelons, from En- gland are tight rope acrobats, a term unknown to the circuses of America. Nothing of the kind has ever been done here They present what s known in America as "Risley" or "posturing' act. This style of aero bats is not uncommon, but it has always been performed on a stage floor. These people do the same act on tightly stretched rope high up from the ground.
 These mentioned novelties concern only the acrobats. Among the rid CTS. the aerialists, the gymnasts anl equil:brists there are also distinct ively original achievements. In all there are $50 performers. They see things from an entirely different an- gle. They are originators and no. imitators.
 Every day in the season the Fore paugh and Sells Brothers circus pays $7,000 to maintain the gigantic en- |terprise. The Human Butterfly aerial spectacle, alone. cost enough money to support the ordinary travelling show. The show spends more for European novelties than all others in America. The sixty one horse fact cost fortune. The trained anil mals are worth their weight in gold. | This statement is literally true. It required an outlay of $1,000,000 l to build the new parade. The men, agerie cost another million. And so lit goes from beginning to end. For !. tunes were spent with seeming reck-

LONDON,S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
rection Of exploring ancient remains will be grati
fed to learn that the Society of Antiquaries has
succeeded in securing the preservation of very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London, which has just been laid bare. London
letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure. the external
wall of defense built about the city in the fourth
or fifth century. have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets or houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition. The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit Of
the public.
1t is situated near Newgate street. close to q
new annex Of the general postofice. The frag-
ment, which is that of great curved bastion.
is so feet long. 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face Of the ground. The whole is In wonderful
state Of preservation.
The material is that known as "Kentish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers or bands Of red
tiles, such as may be seen at Burgh castle, Pc
vensey and marlborough. The interesting relic is
to be built around, so that 1t will lie in a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by
artificial light. The line of the great Roman wall
is well known and much of 1t undoubtedly re-
mains below the houses to-day, which are largely
built upon 1t as upon the securest of foundations.

recently by an order of the county
court.
The order marks the last step In
the little towns retrogression since
the Chicago. Rock Island & Quincy
and Omaha & Kansas City railways
passed the village by.
The story of the settlement, growth
and decline of the village of Edinburg
is full of interest The town came into
existence In 1888 when Isaac ]. Harvey
built store there. Not SO favorably
situated as Trenton, the growth of the
town did not compare with that of the
county seat until after 1850. At the
halfway mark of the century Grand
River college was established In Edin-
burg
Then came an era of prosperity. The
fame Of the school grew, and In
structors of the best were numbered
in the faculty. The pretty little town
was in itself an attraction to students.
and the name Of Edinburg became
widely known. Business doomed, the
town took on thriving air and the
county seat feared for its own growth.
Then came the war and progress
stopped. The luster of the classic
school became dim. After the war
there was revival Of learning in
Edinburg, and the prospect was fair
again. until the Chicago. Rock Island
| & Pacific railroad came through in
1871 and marked Trenton as the fu-
ture city of the section.

oldest Loo House In Missouri.

Probably the Oldest occupied house
In Missouri is the one known as the
Swafford home, one and one-half miles
north of Rayville. This old structure
is OF the old double log and clay and
stick chimney pattern and was built
almost century ago. The date is not
known, but 1t Is remembered by the
Oldest persons. 1t Is said that this
building was built by man by the
name of McElwee, who was believed
to possess great amount Of valuable
minerals, which were discovered in the
cliffs surrounding this place. "Uncle
Nathon" Swafford became owner Of
1t more than 65 years ago and up until
about three years ago, when he died.
he and his family lived there. Mrs.
Swafford died later and the remainder
of the family, which consists OF two
daughters lived there until few days
ago. The old log house consists Of
two rooms, and between them Is hail.
from which both rooms are entered.
The floors are of the old-fashioned
hewed log kind and on the west Is the
stick chimney.

from the crown Of Montezuma were of enormous
size, rough-cut In the form of sacred symbols of
sex worship. Even Cortez was 80 enamored Of

POLE FAKER OF LONG AGO

1t is told OF titled Englishman that when his
son explained his folly in going down coal mine
by saying that he spoiled his clothes SO as to be
able to say that he had performed the feat re-
piled: why did you say that you had been down
the mine and did not go?" This method appears
to have been followed by one James Knox de
Bolduc. monk. who. according to Parts con-
temporary, says the Army and Navy Journal
made his polar voyage in 1855. This is the pole
as described by this Bolduc:
AT the pole one finds the place where all the
waves of the sea concentrate to disappear in the
same whirlpool. Four great islands surround this
precipice, separated by four great canals, sue
ceeding which are the divided seas An enor.

Another railroad came through from
Quincy and Edinburg's hopes quicken

When this failed. however, the doom
Of the village was sealed.
Steadily since then the town has

years ago the college itself was re-
moved to Gallatin in order to secure
railroad advantages. In December,
1909. the petition for disincorporation
was presented to the court. J. g. Nc,
