'Joe" Madden Returns from EXten- sive Trip With Barnum & Bailey.

SNe Trip With Barnum x Bailey.
 Joseph Madden of Franklin street has returned to his home in this city after an extensive trip through the west and south, as a member of the advertising staff of the Barnum and Bailey circus MT. Madden has just rounded out his fourth year as mem Der of the corps and expects to rejoin the crew early in the spring On the recent trip the advertising car covered most of the western states as far as Omaha and thence through the south as ar as Georgia.
 MT. Madden was in Atlanta shortly after the lynching of Leo M. Frank and he speaks interestingly of the feelings of the natives against the un- fortunate factory owner who was so ignominously put to death at the hands of a mob. He has in his pos session pictures Of the scene of the hanging, showing Frank at the end of the moose, which he states are original, as they were taken while the body hung for two days, as a warning against similar crimes such as Frank was accused of. MT. Madden pur- stores and states that they are on sale in most stores carrying on this line of business.
