FEATURES
New And Excellent With
HaqenbeCk- wallace Show

Many features, said to be new and
excellent, will be presnted this year
by the Carl Hagenbeck-Walla cir.
Gus, which will exhibit i'm Mt. Vernon
Friday. May 21. According to the ad.
vance information the act of Nine.
Bendini with her dancing horses is
cne of the most enjoyable of the en-.
tire bill, because it shows the possi-
blities in the education of a horse,
which appears to have almost human
sense. This woman has taught her
horses many new steps in their dane.
ing act. Nearly three hundred per.
formers are on the bill, and they per.
form their acts on the ground, on a
stage and high in the air.
Among the acrobatic and gymnas.
tic celebrities with the show are
the Twelve Fishers, Gladys German,
the Eugene Troupe, the Cottrell-
Powell Trio, the Cornallas, DeKoche,
and others. The leading bareback
rider is Fred Ledgett. Mr. Ledgett is
rated as the most accomplished bare
back rider in the circus profession.
He jumps from the ground to a speed
ing horses back, facing the opposite
direction from which the horse is
running. The Powells, the Riding
Davenports, the Stickney Troupe,
Nine. Bedini and others are In the
long list of equestrian artists. The
circus will come to this city fresh
from it's winter quarters, where all
of the equipment was practically
made over into new.
A new troupe of performing leop-
ards is one of the new features of the
show this season. These leopards
were bought by Colonel Wallace be-
cause he had induced Nine. Albers,
the woman without fear" to return
to her profession of performing with
trained leopards. Nine. Albers was
retired, but during the last winter she
visited her husband, who is one of the
animal trainers with the show, at
Peru, Ind, and Mr.. Wallace engaged
her to return to her profession.
She was putting her twelve Polar
bears through a course of training
recently, when one of the tricky ami
mails pounced on her and threw her
to the ground. Her arms and shoul-
ders were badly lacerated before she
beat off the animal, but she has kept
on with the work, and now has the
animals subdued to such an extent
they act like tame kittens in her
hands. She will show them in the
performance here.

Request Evan Williams To
SiOg "Tipperary'
Refuses, But Does Sing A
Beautiful Selection For Them

That Evan Williams, who appeared
Wednesday evening on the May
festival program, has an abiding in
terest in childhood was evinced by
a little incident at the Presbyterian
church Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Williams, in company with his
cousin, Mr.. William B. Morris, of this
city had gone to the church to ex-
anime the building and survey the
splendid organ installed there. A
large number of children were group
ed inside and the noted tenor seemed
very much pleased at seeing them.
Mr.. Williams addressed the group
OF youngsters and stated that he
would sing anything they requested.
Sing 'Tipperary'," came from one
little tot Williams threw back his
head and laughed long and heartily.
Il can't sing that" he explained, "be-
cause | do not know it," Another
child, who had evidently listened with
rapt ears to records of Williams
voice on talking machines, suggested
open the Gates of the Temple" and
the tenor willingly complied, thrilling
all who were fortunate enough to be
in the church.
There was still an insistent demand
on the part of the children for an.
other song, but rather than overwork
his throat, Mr.. Williams told a story
OF himself, his family and spoke of
his own children, several of whom
were about the age of the children
grouped around him. This was very
satisfactory and the children all left
with a very exalted opinion of the
noted tenor.

. A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES CowLHs. The Montgom cry Family


 About the time of the American revolu- lien. or shortly before, William and
 Joseph, sons of Joseph Montgomery, came
 Q America They were of Scotch descent but born in Ireland Joseph entered the continental army, but after the war re-
 turned home. William, who had remained here but short time, came back again about 1895 and settled in Ohio county Virginia. He had three sons and as many daughters. One son, William, born l7s2 founded the Pennsylvania branch of the
 family. removing to Washington county Pennsylvania, in 1877; he married Eliza beth Kelly. His brother Joseph made his home in Virginia One of the founders bf yirginia-"Pioneer John" Lewis, born
 n Ireland. was the father of many sons, bne Colonel William, born 1724. married Apne Montgomery, ana had eight chil- iren. Colonel William was an officer under Braddock. and one of his sins, Mai. John Lewis, was with Washington at Valley Forge, and his brother. Thomas, hlso an officer, and distinguished for gal
 antry. was called the modern Chevalier .Bayard
 William Lewis was born in Ireland, and If he married there, his wife Anne may have been of the family of the pioneer Montgomerys.
 Another notable marriage connection |was that with the Lane ramily; the Rev. William Montgomery's wife being Eliza beth, daughter of that patriot and revoiu |tiorary hero, Jesse Lane.
 An immigrant, also born in Ireland, 'was John Montgomery. who settled in Pennsylvania, and was a member of the |continental congress. He mas splendid |record to recall. by descendants desiring 'affliation with patriotic societies. He was |captain of an expedition sent against the IIndians, 172S: treasurer of Cumberland bounty, Pennsylvania, 1767 captain of a regiment that joined Washington on Long |Island. and one of the burgesses of Car |lisle. Pa., 17S7. His son John became |mayor of Baltimore member of Congress, |and attorney general of Maryland.

 the record of Thomas Oliver the Pill grim" and a record of his descendants, of the family coat of-arms The first man to bring the name to this country was Thomas Oliver, who came from the picturesque chalk cliff town of Lewes, in Sussex, England He sailed in the ship William and Francis from London in 1882, and arrived in Bos- ton only two years after the founding of that Massachusetts colony. The most illustrious of the sons of Thomas Oliver was Peter, who was, therefore, boy 10 gears old. when he was brought to America. He was an eminent Boston merchant of his day, and one of the founders of the Old South church. He married Sarah Newdigate of Boston. One of their sons was Nal
 
 1852 who, like his father, was an enter prising merchant. He was one of the four ariginal owners of Bristol, R. I. He married Elizabeth Brattle and they had son, named for the father, a grad uate of Harvard in 1701, whose name Is added to the list of well known Olivers as an eminent merchant and citizen of Boston. He married Miss Hobbs, and neft many descendants of the name Oli- yer.
 To go back to the other sons of Peter and Sarah Newdigate Oliver, probably the most distinguished was Daniel, who married Elizabeth Belcher, sister of Gov ernor Belcher. Daniel was a man of con- siderable wealth and distinction in Bos- ton. And, moreover, he was the father of the two most famous men of the name that the country has ever known. Those two sons were Andrew Oliver. born in 1706, famous as the distributor of stamps at the time the famous Brit ish stamp act was. enacted, and Peter, born in 1713, a famous Tory The arms of the Olivers are blazoned A hand and arm issuing from out cloud on the sinister side fesseways and grasp ing dexter hand, couped at the wrist all proper.

 Budd is probably from an old personal name. Boda, or Bodus, whose meaning l is not clear. It may be the same as the Teutonic Bodo, which means com mander.
 There are several arms for the Budd ] family. One of them is blazoned: Azure. a fesse dancette in chief, bow bent in fesse and three arrows, two in saltire and one in pale, tied with a ribbon in base all or.

Underground Congestion in New York

Underground Congestion in New York
 Since the recent disastrous cave-ins of New York city streets much interest has been aroused as to the condition prevailing beneath the surface of the great thoroughfares of New York
 A timely description of this under ground congestion Is found in the No- vember Popular Science Monthly and Worlds Advance. Speaking of report recently made by Charles N. Green, the engineer in charge of special depart ment crated to attend to the removal and replacement of underground pip ing.
 The writer says:
 "As an example of the great conges- tion underneath Broadway between Seventeenth and Twenty fourth streets, there are IT pipes. four banks of cleo tric conduits ranging from to 4s holes each, two underground trolley tracks. and the prisms of the tracks which take up much room. In this space the curb lines are but 37 feet apart.
 Most of the over-congestion is caused by gas mains. which were laid during the time when the policy of the city authorities was to encourage hand franchises for competing com panies to lay pipes. As result there are, according to Mr. Greens estimate, at least 500 miles of useless gas mains. To these and other mains and con- duits, something like 2S.000 street open ings are made in New York city every year. These openings. of course create enormous expense. delay traffic, inter- fere with business and cause accidents for which the city often has to pay damages.
 Most of these unnecessary mains are still in use and require maintenance by the gas companies By reOrganizing their system the companies could doubtless serve the same amount of gas through vastly smaller number of maina
