CIRCUS REV VAL OF
MEDICINE SHOW DAYS
SUN BROTHERS. AGGREGATION
GIVE TWO PERFORMANCES
IN HATTIEsBuRe.

Sun Brothers Show was in Hat
tieasburg yesterday for two perform
ances, and audiences which did not
fill the comparatively small tent. eth
er in the afternoon or the evening
attended
The performances of this show in
the past in Hattiesburg were pleasing
Those of yesterday, however. were
decidedly disappointing, as evidenced
by the criticism meted out today.
The Sun Brothers show was plain
ly an attempt to revive the old medi
cine show. From the time that the
blatant voiced, leather lunged an
nouncer stepped to the platform in
the center of the tent and started his
speech concerning the redeeming quail
tiles of certain kind of drugs made
by certain company, until the close
of the show, when similar talk was
attempted, all the ear marks of the
old time band of patent medicine sell
lers with a few amusements on the
side, were in evidence. Last nights
audience declined to listen to the
talk, and drowned his words with
hand claps.
There were thirty numbers on the
shows program. Several of these were
worthy ones, and were roundly ap-
plauded. A majority, however. were
viewed by the audience in listless
sore of way The fact that the teams
of acrobats, trapese performers, horse
back riders, and other artists were
doubled up that is, each team re-
quired to appear and reappcar fve
and six different times, in different
roles, and different costumes, was
quickly detected by the audience.
One of the bareback riders appeared
four different times with the same
horse. The last time he resorted to
large amounts of face paint, but even
then could not disguise himself.
On the strength of their being a
menagerie with the show, the public
schools were dismissed at noon yes
terday to give the children an oppor'
tunity to see these animals. When
they reached the grounds, however,
they found that their show tickets did
not admit them to the arena, and they
were required to pay an extra dime.
The Sun Brothers Shows of last
year were worth dismissing school
for. That of today has plainly
weakened.

NORMAL COLLEGE NOTES.

One hundred and ninety students
left the Normal yesterday morning
about $50 o'clock to attend the jack
son Fair. This cheerful band reached
the capital at 8 o'clock. The first
thing they did was to visit the State
Capitol. From there they went to
the Insane Asylum, Blind Institute,
Baptist and Charity Hospital, Deaf
and Dumb Institute and the Fair
Grounds. 1.-THE exhibits at the Fair
were good" said one of the girls to-
day. ESPECIALLY did we find the live
stock and agricultural products good.
This fact may have. been because we
had faint idea that we would be
expected to report on these particular
departments. We left the city about
8 o'clock p. m. filled with enthusiasm
over the scenes and pleasures Hf the
day. Never before have we Vac a
more pleasant excursion"

MUSIC LOST TO THE WORLD
Rubinstein's Compositions Scattered
Through lmbecility Of Russian
Government.

Rubinstein, the famous composer,
at one time visited Russia. He had
with him a trunk which was full of
musical compositions, the result of
three years labor in Berlin and Vi
emma. To his dismay the officer at
the customs house seized his precious
manuscripts.
"You see" he said, call this manu-
script is apparently music, but the
government is aware that Anarchists
and Nihilists use a code of signals
resembling musical notes for their
communications, so this may be some
political cipher. You must wait five
or six months and then we may be
able to give you the box"
In vain the musician pleaded and
threatened the Russian government
was inlexible. He tried to rewrite
the compositions from memory, but
did not succeed very well. To add
to his wrath he discovered some wears
later that his trunk was advertised
in the Russian Police Gazette, but
as he did not see it the manuscripts
were sold at auction and scattered
beyond all power Of recovery.

ELECTRIC POWER A BENEFIT
For One Thing, II Does Away With
Smoke, Improving the Health
of the Community.

Substituting electric power for
steam in factories directly affects Che
health Of the community, for it does
away with smoke. For example, since
electric motors began to be used in
the industries Of the borough Of
Bury, in England, not only have the
"A ehimneys formerly needed for
steam power gone out of use, but,
owing to the convenient supply uf
electric power, q other chimneys
that otherwise would have been erect
ed have not been put up. The large
chimney at the power station replaces
altogether 81 smaller chimneys in
other parts of the town. Further
more, the fuel for the power station
goes directly from the freight cars
into the coal bunkers. Were the 81
chimneys still in use, more than two
hundred tons Of fuel would have to
be carted each week for considerable
distances through the public streets
the electric power supply, that is,
frees the roads Of much heavy traffic.
Finally, the fuel consumed at the
power station is burned in a scien-
tifc way, so as to produce the mini
mum amount Of smoke. Probably
that could not be said of the super
seeded furnaces, Youths Compan-
ion.
