VISTAs OF THE ORIENT.
Far East Scenes and Incidents With
Buffalo Bill.

Far East Scenes and Incidents With
Buffalo Bill.
The combination of Buffalo Bits
Wild West with Pawnee Bills Far
East marks a new epoch in out
of-door entertainments a melange OF
contrasts more striking than has ever
before been presented to public view.
Pictures of western life will be shown
in contrast to vistas of the far east
and an oriental spectacle will recall
the sands of Sahara in the same
arena where Indian battles and ives
tern scenes are also depicted. The
far east element will introduce many
tribes and people from across the
sea-Japanese cavalryman, soldiery
and athletic experts, jugglers and
necromancers; Arabian acrobats.
Hindoo fakirs, the whiTling dervish
and men of many chimes. Jungle
bred elephants will be seen in a mus
zeal pecialty-ringing bells, pump
ing organs with their feet, blowing
trumpets, and also performing the
other wonderful stunts that ami
NAL trainers are wont to develop
through the tractibility and intelli-
gence of the elephant. There will
be a scene of Oriental pageantry,
showing the tribes and types OF anc-
lent Egypt, the camel caravans of
the desert and the splendors of pomp
and ceremony to which the Orient
is so thoroughly given over. The
desert sands will be recalled, the
pyramids and Sphinx will loom
in the distance, and a scene typi-
cal of the far east will be realistic
ally presented in a moving pageant
of brilliant costumes and coloring.
The whole scene will be redolent of
the Orient, that land OF romance and
balmy atmosphere, with its strange
people and ancient customs. In YER
ity the Orient will be translated to
the Occident and men of two sides
of the globe will be on view in scenes
and incidents typical of many lands
and nations. 1t is only through the
character of Buffalo
Bill and Pawnee Bill exhibitions that
these contrasts and comparisons can
be attained, for in no other enter
tainment is the wide, wide world in
actual and authentic suggestion. This
double exhibition will make memo
rable Buffalo Bits farewell.

Gypsy Cases Concluded.

Wadesboro, Jan. 21.-The
gypsy cases came to an abrupt
end this morning with a com.
plete victory for the Stephen
Joan tribe, and they Immediate
ly celebrated with an automobile
ride over the town, waving large
American flags. The verdict was
the result of a compromise effect.
cd through the efforts of the pre-
siding judge, Oliver H. Allen.
The Mitohelles, IL of them, plead
ed guilty to the charge of assault
and were fined $3.50.
In the other cases, pleas of non
loce oontendre were entered and
Judgment suspended on payment
of the costs. The two cases
against the stephen Joan tribe
for assault were dismissed on the
ground that the defendants had
already been fined for the offense
by the magistrate.
After recording the verdict,
Judge Allen gave the gypsies a
libtle fatherly advice and urged
them to avoid further conflict.
The cost in the cases amounted to
about $500, exclusive of attor-
neys' fees.-Charlotte Observer.

NO MORE FANCY SALARIES.
The Day Of Fancy Salaries For Heads Of
Corporations is Past.

New York, Jan. 21.-It came
out as a Well Street presumption
today that the day of fancy sala-
ries for the heads of corporations
is past. and that the maxium
henceforth will b $4,000.
The action of the United States
Steel Corporation directors in
recommending that James A.
Farrell, it's new president, re-
ceive $4,000 instead of the $780,
600 paid to W. E. Corey, resign
ed, was the first symptoms of re-
duction. The death of Paul
Norton, who received $4,000 as
president of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, removes an.
other of the few men whose SER
vice has commanded unusual
salarias, and gossip in financial
circles has it today that the
Eq aisable trustees were consider
ing reduction to $4,000 in the
caso cf Mr.. Morton's successor,
who is sss yes unnamed.
A record in high salaries was
esta blished in 1905 nhen Richard
A. McCurdy's salary as presid 7pt
of the Mutual Life Insurance
G mpany was increased from
800, 900 to $3.50, 900 a year.
The Armstrong committee's
Investigation brought reduction,
and Charles A. Peabody, the pres
enb head Of the Mutual Life, now
draws but $50. 900 year.
