AFEw OF THE FIFTY FAMOUS CLOWNS COMING WITH RINGING BROS

Headed by the dean of all sawdust
comedians, Al Miaeo, a whole army of
side-splitters are due here when Ring
ling Brothers circus comes, Friday,
Sept. 25. Miaco is rs years old and he
is chairman Of the convention which
the merry band hold twice daily un-
der the circus main tent. Old as he
is, this veteran funmaker is as agile
as the youngest of the fifty skylarkers
who clown in the hippodrome track.
There was time when the clowns
opened the circus performance, so do
not conclude that they have missed
their train when they fail to appear
at the beginning of this seasons pro-
gram. First will come the spectacle
of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba,
with its cast of more than 1900 peo-
pie, its regiments of eaparisoned
horses and camel caravans. But
hardly will the curtain have fallen on
the last act of this gigantic production
when, with burst of merry music and
galaxy of antics the whole popula-
ton Of clownland will swing into
view.
This season the funny fellows have

CIRCUS SPECTACLE
HAS GIGANTIC CAST.

Solomon and the Queen of Sheba"
is this seasons feature with Ringing
Brothers circus. gigantic wordless
play enacted upon stage bigger than
that of hundred ordinary theatres,
it has been pronounced the most mag
nifcent spectacle ever presented in
America. 1t requires a cast of 1850
characters, a ballet Of 300 dancing
girls, and a caravan of camels. 1t de
picts the glory of Solomon and the
beauty of Balkis in a succession of
scenes that picture the pomp and
splendor of ancient Israel with strict
regard for historical accuracy.
This mammoth pantomime opens the
regular circus program in the main
tent and is part of the performance.
1t will be seen when Ringing Broth
ers' Worlds Greatest Shows come
here Friday, Sept. rs.
Five trains are required to transport
the wonders of Ringlingville, and one
entire section is loaded with special
scenery, costumes, accessories and
electrical effects used in the Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba production.
There is a chorus of thousand voices
and so musicians augmented by a
cathedral organ. The grand process
ional in which Solomon goes to the
gates of Jerusalem to greet Shebas
queen is a pageant of granduer enlist
ing the entire cast of characters, al
most 700 horses, elephants and cor
rectly caparisoned desert camels.
The costumes of the monarch's train
and that Of the visiting princess are of
a richness in keeping with the era
portrayed The thrones, vehicles, mu-
steal instruments, symbolical utensils,
armor and trappings were designed
after the exact style of those used and
Worn thirty centuries ago.
The story is divided into four acts
1t is founded upon the reign of Solo
mon. The spectator sees the happen
ings of a thousand years before the
Christian era. He is taken to the |
judgment hall and the temple of Solo
mon. He witnesses the games, the |
dances and the pleasures of princely |
courts. The final pageant in which
the king and Sheba's queen contend |
for supremacy in their exhibition of |
wealth and wisdom is the most gor-
geous display of it's kind ever seen in
This country.

THE CLINCHFIEL1
REACHES ELK HORN

The Carolina, Clinchfeld & Ohio
railway is reported to have laid rails
through from Dante to ElkhOrn City
on its extension between those points,
a distance of 35 miles, and to have
run train over the line, which, it is
expected, may soon be made ready for
service. No announcement of plans
for a regular schedule has yet been
made by the company.
This important railroad link con-
meets the Clinehfield railway with the
Chesapeake & Ohio system and makes
a direct route through between the
Atlantic ocean at Charleston and the
Great Lakes, furnishing a first-class
transportation line for the output of
coal from the extensive Clinchfield
and Elkhorn regions. The Clinchfield
railway is now at work upon the es-.
adjustment of a large modern coal
terminal at Charleston to meet the de-
mands of this coming business.
The Clinchfield railway is therefore,
now 271 miles long from Dante, Va,
to Spartanburg, S. c., and it also has
a branch of II miles from st. Paul to
Wilder, Va which is known as the
Dumps creek line. 1t connects at
Spartanburg with the Southern rail-
way with which it has arrangements
for the transportation of coal. Con-
nection with the Seaboard Air Line
is made at Bostic, N. C. The COM
pletion of the Elkhorn extension en-
hances the importance of the main
line to all the territory it serves, and
it is expected that the connection
with the Seaboard will be utilized to
send considerable coal through to
Charleston when the Seaboard's new
line-the Charleston Northern-is fin
ished, which is expected to be within
4 few months. Construction is now
being rapidly pushed Manufacturers

naping s.year-old Robert Dunbar

The verdict was returned shortly
after S o'clock this afternoon, six
hours after Judge Pavy had deIiv-
cred bis charge and the twelve
men entrusted with the fate of the
defendant had retired to deliberate.
A single peal OF the court house
bell, an ancient custom observed
in Opelousas, announced to the
expectant populaee that the jury
was ready to report. There was a
rush for the court room. The
prisoner was brought in, and while
the jury was being polIed and the
verdict announced retaiued his
composure.
There was some excitement in
the court room. Proceedings were
interrupted while a deputy sheriff
assisted a lady who had tainted, to
the open air.
The verdict of the jury legally
clears uh mystery that presented
many psychological problems. Il
involved varying phases 0f double

It Is interesting to note the
character of men who are lead
ers in the republic of Mexico.
Huerta, who is bliud In one eye, Is
said to be part Indian and to be
hard drinker. He came into prom
inence by successfully repelIing an
attacking party while escorting
President Diaz, who was fleeing
from the country after having been
forced out Of Office. But his real
character was made known when
he turned traitor to President Ma
Idero and had him put to death.

Presumably the same dispatches were

as possible. II was signed by Gen. Car

Government. 1t IL said. looks to Carranza
to clear up at once the mystery OF Bauchs
