(National News Association

LONDON, Ont, Sept. 6.-The intel
lect and the power of the. Anglican
church in the Dominion are concen-
trated in this city today. On every
train distinguished clergymen and in
fluential laymen have been arriving
for the meeting of the General Synod
of the Church of England in Canada,
the sessions of which were formally
opened today and will continue until
we'll into the coming week.
The indications point 70 a meeting
of unusual importance to the denom-
ination. The resolutions to be intro
duced and acted upon are numerous
and of more than ordinary interest
and importance. Foremost on the list
is motion condemning the NE Te-
mere" decree of the Roman Catholic
church. which will be introduced by
the dioceses of Toronto, Saskatche-
wan. Ontario, Algoma and Ruperts
Land
Other resolutions to be discussed by
the convention will deal with the pro-
posal to change the name of the
church, the preservation of the laws of
morality on ships carrying immigrants,

pate of the Canadian church, the ne

by it's mothers side. There was one
pair of camels that are the prettiest
ever seen in Richmond. But can a
camel really be pretty?
The sacred COW from India was
probably the most curious looking ami
NAL in the big collection. 1t was
munching a bunch of hay and appear
ed to be having as good a time as
though it were in it's native country.
The six big elephants were good
looking lot, and the lions were Zero
cious enough to scare anyone.
Without any warning, one of the ele-
plants let out an unearthly roar. This
seemed to be the signal for general
display of the animals musical talent,
for in an instant the whole menagerie
was a tumble OF sounds. When the
stately lion finally joined in the Choir
us, the noise was SO intense that one
could hardly hear anything else.
Omaha the airship horse, was out
on the open fields taking her daily ex-
nary working horses. Several circus
hands were busy washing and comb
ing Snowfall" pure white horse,
that is considered by the men to be
the nearest perfect of all the animals
in the show. When asked how many
horses the show carried on the road,
Mr.. Ingall. said, "Wen, we can't ex-
actly tell, because the number changes
so often, but l can say that we never
have less than two hundred"
Look out there, or you'll get snake
bit!" yelled a circus hand at small
boy who was getting too near the
snakes which the harem-skirted
charmer was carrying from the tent
to the wagon which was to carry them
in the parade. It did not take the boy
long to get out of the, way, for the
reptile that the charmer had coiled
around her neck was fully ten feet in
length She had several others almost
as large, and a big crowd of by-stand-
ers swarmed around her to watch her
them into the cage.
A clown who was attired in the lat
est style of farmers costume was fur
nishing some free entertainment for
the crowd. He had a perfect imita-
ton of the Hoosier walk. and his
clothes were perfect misfit all the
way from his worn out rubber boots
to his battered straw hat.
There were many little incidents
that enliyened the time, such as the
escape of prize rabbit from it's cage,
an event which necessitated having
ten men or so chase the animal all
over the grounds before bunny
would submit to recapture.
The circus people are looking for a
big crowd tonight, but say that no one
need worry about lack of seats, as the
big tent has seating capacity of four
thousand.

A Queer Name.

One Of the best navy stories Of the
sometimes amusing mistakes Of the
Britisher over names in common use
In the United States Is told by Rear
Admiral w. p. Potter, U. s. NJ, on
duty at Washington.
"Some years ago." said Rear Admi-
raj Potter, 1.-The old United States
steamship Ohio steamed into q South
American port and anchored near a
British passenger steamship. She in
terested the passengers Of the steam
ship very much.

"Hey, Jimmy, goin' to the circus!'
was the question many a small boy
asked of his playmate this morning.
| The Sells-Floto show got into town at
an early hour today, and went at once
to the show grounds on North 18th
street. 1t is big show, and there are
large crowds in the city.
When the reporter first reached the
grounds this morning, the thing that
came to his attention at once, was
strange medley of musical instruments
and voices. He looked around, and
found a number of star performers In
the main side show getting little
practice for their act this afternoon.
They were not wearing a lot OF fine
costumes with spangles, and lace. but
looked as Though they had hardly got
ten out of bed. They were going
through their stunt just the same as
they will do this evening, making bows
in response to imagined applause, and
cracking Jokes with as much enthu-
siasm as ever.
A peculiar odor that pervaded the
air in the neighborhood next attract
ed the reporter to large tent some
distance away from the side shows.
On arriving at the spot, he found that
he had walked into the sacred pre-
cincts of the dining tent. Some men
were engaged in cleaning up the Ia
BILE linen, which had been used at
breakfast, for the managers are very
particular that no dirty linens shall
adorn their tables. The staff repre-
senting the owners of the circus were
just eating their meal at the table re-
served for their use. At the table
next to them, sit the bosses and as
sistant bosses of the various gangs OF
men. Farther back in the tent sit the
performers, all of whom have their
regular seats which they keep through
out the season. The dining room, or
tent, as it is in this case is divided in
to two parts. 1t seems that the man
ayers and performers occupy one side
of the place, while the other section
is reserved for the ordinary laborers.
The head of the comissary depart
ment took pains to assure the reporter
that the people on the laborers' side
got just as good food as the officials
and star performers.
After the dining apartment had been
thoroughly inspected, the guide ex-
tended an invitation to visit the kit
chen. Five cooks were busily at work
getting ready the noon meal. which
was served just after the parade. One
of the culinary experts was taking a
roast of beef out of the oven and the
piece of meat was cooked just to a
turn-fully as good as one could get
in the best restaurant. MIR. lngall,
the comissary. then asked if the peo-
pie of Richmond would like to know
what sort of a menu the circus folks
enjoy every day. He gave out the fol.
lowing list, all of which, he asserted,

cats In Ancient Wales.

An ancient statute ascribed to Howell
the Good. Welsh prince, who ruled
in 94s, regulated the price Of cats. A
penny was the price of kitten before
its eyes were open, twopence until it
had caught its first mouse and four
pence when 1t was Old enough for com
bat. He who stole q cat from the royal
granaries forfeited either a milk eve.
with its fleece and lamb, or as much
wheat as would cover the body of the
cat suspended by its tail, with its nose
touching the ground. A penny was a
coin of great purchasing power In the
tenth century.
