FIRE HORSE
FALLS DEAD
ON THE RUN
ACCIDENT OCCURRED EARLY
YESTERDAY MORNING, WHEN
HOSE WAGON WAS RESPONDING
TO ALARM ON WEST WRIGHT
sTREET-oNE OF THE OLDEST
HORSES IN SERVICE.

While on a run to a fire on West
Wright street, between Barcelona and
Reus, yesterday morning between and
3 o'clock, Chief" one of the Oldest
horses in the fire department, fell dead
just before reaching the fire. 1t was,
together with his mate, pulling hose
wagon No. 5 from the East Hill truck
house, corner OF Ninth avenue and De
Soto street, and was on Barcelona
street, between Belmont and LaRua.
when it fell. The animal was dead
before the harness could be removed.
This was the second alarm this team
had answered since midnight, but the
animal did not show any signs of
WEAKNESS or illness before being
hooked UP, and simply fell without a
moments warning.
CHER had been in the service for
about five years and was a favorite
among the men who handed it, and
some of the fremen yesterday morn
ing appeared almost as deeply grieved
as though one of their number had
passed away.
The fremen say that "Chier' was a
aoble animal, never having to be
driven to E. fire, but was always eager
to go, evidencing signs Of delight when
the gong sounded.

YER" The world loves a circus and
is always interested in the people
of the canvas canopied arena.
There is an irresistible charm in
the sawdust and spangle, and hard
to conquer lingering fascination in
the gold, CLEAN and glitter of the
big show pageants. And yet the
world does not know half as much
about circus folks as it thinks it
does. Back of the curtain and the
glamor and the hoop-la of the ring
there is another world-a world all
to itself, filled with real humanity,
but by the nature of their calling
made a world apart.
Nearly every performer, at least
80 per cent of them, are born into
the world. preceded by generation

In the host of people who live un-

part OF the universe. In all, % Ian
guages are spoken among the 1850
people who travel in the four long
trains OF this. the largest show ever
organized. Language is not neces-
sary 10 the circus performer, it APP
peals altogether to the eye, which
is its sole interpreter. So the dare
and skill of the performers of the
universe blend tremendously in its
presentation.
And just so tremendously does the
same quality enter into their daily
life after the show work is over and
the crowds have gone home. How

ing of the requirements for the care
of a singer or an actress accomplish
ments, but l do know that a woman
who must always be at the height Of
physical perfection, strength and
agility. and also possess youth,
beauty and grace, cannot mix with
late suppers and all the alleged joys
of the after play parties. 1t is eter-
nal practice with us
And this was Emma Stickney
speaking, one of the arenic stars of
the Ringing show, and who has
known no other life than that under
the canvas. She learned to ride
when but a child. furthermore. she
was taught to somersault and other
acrobatics, and after a while she was
sent to dancing school to give her
grace. And now, one of the worlds
best riders, she still practices every
morning with all the studious care
she did when but a novice.
The women of the circus are Won
derful specimens of womanhood.
They have developed the physical be-
ing to its highest state and achieved
feats of great dare and marvellous
skill, yet they are just as feminine
as their sisters, whose applause their
ring and arenic work wins. The lit
tie woman, who with a thrilling
shrek makes the perilous leap from
a 60-foot high tTapeZe and is caught
by her foot, is an expert at needle

Time To START
WITH 1912 PLANS
Good Opportunity for Magnates
of Three Eye to Be Rid
of Kinsella.
PRESENT CIRCUIT ALBRIGHT
Prospects Getting Brighter Every
Day Regardless of Dicks
Threats of Disruption.

In view of Kinsella's recent threats.
it is time for the Three-Eye league
directors to set together and lay few
plans for the 1912 season There is
no reason on earth why the circuit next
season should not he practically N
same as it is today, for all of the cities
of the league are good baseball cities
and it is a certainty that the attend
ance next year with the same circuit
will far exceed that of this season.
Right now the attendance all over the
league is picking up and possibly be
fore the end of the season-Sept. IL
there will have been large boost in
the figures
"EXPoSEs" FAKE PLAN.
Richard Kiusella of Springfield,
president of the Decatur club,
has recently given out for
publication some of the develop
ments of the partly secret meeting OF
the Three-Eye bosses which was hello
in Chicago a few weeks ago One IL
tie shell that he exploded said that the
leaders had agreed unanimously To-
disband after the Labor day game. u
now develops that some of the lead
ers never heard of that agreement til!
Dick gave it out for publication In De-
catur. In fact, Secretary Farrell has
told Prexy Tearney that the players
must be paid for the regular term of
the Three-Eye season whether the
league breaks up now or any other time
before Sept II. 1t would scarcely be
good policy to disband and continue to
pay the salaries, amounting to more
than $4,000 on the average for each
team. while not a cent was being re
allied at the box Office And so Kin
sella's scheme to terminate the league
season two weeks earlier than the
schedule provides will possibly have
as much consideration as his scheme
to disrupt the league and quit Aug. e.
DICK NEED NOT HESITATE.
But if Kinsella wants to kick loose
from the letters of the Three-Eye
league, let him do so. There is scarce
ly a city in the league that would not
be heartily in favor of such action by
him, for his tactics have tended ever
toward disruption rather than towards
upbuilding. Decatur is a good baseball
city and has always supported its
teams well Let the Decatur business
men who want baseball-and there are
plenty of them-get together and take
up the Decatur franchise from Kin
sella and be ready to send representa-
tives TO the league meeting when IL is
called so that they NAV have a hand
in the organization for 1912.
MAKE NEW AGREEMENT.
At this meeting it is up to the direc-
tors of the clubs to select a new presi-
dent to fill the league executive boots
Let there be new agreement among
the owners-one that shall be lived
up to-to cut down the salary limit
and then abide by Il. The league can
have practically the same circuit next
year and give class ball to it's pa
irons. and thrive.
If Dick Kinsella's scheme TO abau-
don the old Three-Eye league il fol
lowed, the players of the league will
become free agents All of the clubs
now own several valuable men. and 90
