Hard TO Realize.

When we see "A circus advertised we
always begin to wonder what there Is
new that can possibly be offered more
than We have seen before. This year,
as each past year, Campbell Brothers
have added attractions and surprises
for the public, found and perfected
only by great labor patience and skin,
till one may say, Il never thought
such things possible" New trapeze
acts-new juggling acts-new tumb.
ling and sensational gymnastic feats-
new arena NOTWITHSTANDING feats of
bareback riding and all the rest too
numerous to mention. One must &C.
tually see the appreciate and their
wonder grows as the show progresses.
The perfection of these big shows is
the result of hard work. both of brain
and muscle, and the circus now offered
to the public by the Campbell Broth
ers is perfect in every department.

MAY GET FORTUNE FOR $3.50.
II Braman Dies Without Heirs Gal
Iaaher Will Get $4,000.


Robert Gallagher, Boston attorney,
has an opportunity to get $4,000 for
the paltry sum of $3.50. The $4,000
is in the form of trust fund left to
Hammond Braman, clubman, by his
father. Braman has become enmesh-
ed in the bankruptcy courts. His
creditors endeavored to get control Of
the trust fund, but this the court held
was immune until its termination at
the death of Braman; hence an auc-
ton at which the fund was sold for
$3.50 to Gallagher. The creditors will
receive the $50.
When Braman dies and in the event
that he leaves no heir Gallagher gets
the $4,000. Mr.. Braman is thirty
five and Mr.. Gallagher nearly sixty.
The latter feels sure. though, that he
will live to get the money.
Braman, who has been a Harvard
student, banker and broker. Is well
known figure about Boston. He was
driven into bankruptcy after he had
spent several uncomfortable days in
Jail. where he was sent for his failure
to pay a judgment of $500 awarded
| 10 BENJAMIN Banks Of Cambridge
who had been run down by his auto
| mobile. Braman has been twice mar
tied He was divorced from his first
wife In 1907. Later he figured in a
sudden marriage with Miss Rose

According to Representative II. 1.
Matrau. i'm few more years there
will not be enough old soldiers left to
make the regular annual visit to each
of the public schools, a custom which
has been on the program Of the OLD
soldiers for many years.
The old soldiers made their regular
Memorial day visit to the schools OF
the city at 1:15 Friday. AT each OF
the schools special exercises were held
and the old soldiers told the children
various stories of the fight which the
Grand Army of the Republic made for
them fifty years ago.
There are getting to be so few OF
the old soldiers" said Capt. Matrau
that we will not have enough to go
around soon" Last year the soldiers
met at the Matrau & Willie office and
thence marched to the various schools
This time it was with great difficulty
that the old warriors could be found
but they were brought together and
the children of the schools heard pa
triotic addresses which proved an in

Next Sunday morning the old sol

HOW lone ROUND" HOGAN
BECAME A FIGHTER
Friseo's Sensational Lightweight Was
Once q Plumbers Helper

A street fight between two plumbers
assistants is what started "One
Round" Hogan. the sensational Frisco
pugilist. on the road to fame. Hogan
was plumbers apprentice and had
served three years OF his time when
he took up the fighting game. He says
he never would win a prize today at
wiping n lead pipe joint. but that
he's a bear at threading two inch pipe.
Hogan, whose first name is Jack, is
confident he will eventually win the
lightweight championship He points
to his bout with Knockout" Brown in
New York recently as to what he can
do. Hogan has fought forty one bat
ties, and of that number he won the
FIRST thirty nine-mapy Of them by the
knockout route On account OF win.
ming several Of his fights in the first
round he was given the name Of Zone
Round" Hogan.

They disqualified me for butting. I
think l can lick Burns any time he
starts"
How did you start in as fighter :"
was asked
TT was on account Of winning a
street fight over some plumbers as
sistants' l never took boxing les
son in my life"
Hogan then told Of how he worked
as a plumbers assistant and as he
was leader of a gang he naturally had
to fight all the time.
A fight club in Frisco had engaged
young fellow named Steele for q
preliminary bout, and as he had no
opponent the manager, who had seen
Hogan in street fight, offered him
Sl5 to go on. Hogan grabbed at the
| job. and before he had gone four
| rounds he knocked out so many OF
| Steeles teeth that the fight had to be
stopped.
And the worst OF It," said Hogan
SIS that | didn't get the S15. The
manager told me that S. was enough
for me, and | couldn't argue him out
of the other ten. Finally he told me
that | was pretty lucky to get Q
chance to fight at all, and he promised
me that he would give me another tgh
the next week. l fell for that line o.
talk, but to this day am still trying
to get that ten"
Hogan is just twenty-five years ole
and is an orphan. Apparently he hal
made the best of his opportunities n
school, as he talks intelligently an(
uses good English. He is clean Wv
ing young fellow and has not been II

Juarez. Mex, May 26.-With a smile
on his face, Francisco ]. Madero, jr.,
today eagerly read the morning paper
dispatches from Mexico City telling
of the resignation of President Diaz.
He could not restrain a smile as he
noted President Diaz's comment that
he knew of no fact chargeable to him
which should have caused the revolu-
ton of feeling against him. To an
Associated Press representative Ma
dero said he preferred not to COM
ment on President Diaz's letter. He
gave the impression he could not
agree with its contents.
AS to Senior De la Barra's letter
stating that he would not be a Candi-

the rebel leader was greatly pleased
and declared he would issue a mani
festo later today commencing Senior
De la Barra on his public spirit. Sc
nor Madero has great confidence in
Senior De la Barra and to his callers
today lauded the honesty and integ.

Messages continued to pass between

the prolongation of the present ses,

said to Madero that some time in No.
