The "CirCus Man." Indianapolis NeWs.)

Al Ringing died the other day at his home in Wisconsin. Most of the newspapers merely referred to him as "the circus man." How many young sters have stood, wide eyed and hope full, before the Ringing posters! These posters, with the diagonal line of Ringlipg brothers faces, have been familiar, at one time or another, in almost every city and village in this country. AIS was the first face in tl,e line. The eldest of the five broth CTS, he was the original snowman of
 the family, the organizing genius, and the. .peacemaker wherever internal dis putes or business difficulties arose. The American circus was first made prominent by P. T. Barnum, and de- Teloped later by Forepaugh, Wallace, Sells-Floto and others. The public has not yet tired of the circus. The bigger the better. The more tinse1 and blare the greater the interest. Barnum's early speciality was to fool as well as to entertain. The later shows, especially those great aggre- cations which passed from the road days" to the railway age, went in for the spectacular, and in this feature Al Ringing is said to have excelIed. The Ringlings were German-Ameri- cans From their boyhood their am- tition was to go into the show bus mess, which at the time, was mostly confined to hall entertainments, mu- seums and small menageries with ieats of juggling and physical enter tainers, and his real circus appren- ticeship was obtained with the wagon show at small towns and villages.

allotted time in this institution of learning, and they deserve credit for the idea advanced in connection with the corps to be raised at Wesleyan. It is proposed that a goodly company, or mayhap a battalion of signalmen, be organized. This is a great idea. Far better than organizing men and boys merely to go through the man. ual of arms and other routine duties attributed to the life of a soldier. The men of Wesleyan have caught the proper spirit of preparedness They realize the value of scientific readily assert that the most important wing of the entire army organization is the signal corps and without the signal corps the various fighting forces are practically useless. Be- cause of the very nature of our uni versailles it is well that the men. there pay some attention to this side of military preparedness. It is well that the alumni lend encouragement to those not yet graduated. They have all the facilities at their beck and call. They have laboratories with which to conduct experiments, every thing that is needed in acquiring the proper knowledge of signal work. Let the college men attend to their in, 70 T>JO other walks of life will play their parts when the time comes.
 It is a patriots duty to look to the future protection of his country. These men of Yale and Harvard and Wes- leyan are showing good example, are awakening in the breasts of thelr fellow students and associates the spark of patriotism that should pc harbored by every American cltlzeh' It is a good nation, after alI this United States of America, and one worth fighting for. If the time ever comes when arms must be resorteu to- it will be better for our colieglahS 'o go forth to battle as tra1heo iho' and soldiers rather than as groups of motlev volunteers hastily gathereo together to do work cut out LOT iiieii who have spent years and years at the business of military tactlcs. we must be prepared, and our colleges .nd universities have a good chance to lead the way.

 and FQshi0n Deserted

to fall balmicr here than anywhere in the world.
 ''The scenery at Jalta, from what ever direction, is completely satisfy ing. It's beauty is an intimate beauty, with which the stranger is soon upon easy terms, not the stand-offtsh, cold beauty of the major Alps. The town is a gem of white houses. set into the dark green mountains, and climb ing by steps to the shelf upon which stand some of it's most sumptuous vil- las. It's bay is very open, and the beach along the waterfront is narrow. The hotels and pensions are mostly in the lower town, the level which spreads just back of the beach and quay. Some of the homes higher up- on the hillside are the magnificent es- tates of the foremost of the Russian nobles. The present Czar. his father and his grandfather, had places in Livadia, 9 near neighbor of Jalta's.
 There is no industry and little trade carried on by the people of the village, who live almost entirely by catering to vacationists and regular visitors. Smoke and soot do not de- face the picture, and even the rail- road does not approach the town. The
 
 topol, NOVorossiSk, and Odessa. Liv- Ing, of course, as befits a fashionable resort, is expensive. Hotels and board Ing houses charge high, and the we'll to-do Russian is generally a free spender October and November are the first months of the year at Jalta, although people come to enjoy it's beauties and it's climate throughout all twelve months Jalta is not much sought by people outside of Russia, for the reason, perhaps, that it takes generations to win the fame among distant people such as is that posses sed by the German and Bohemian baths, the Riviera, and Tyrol "Jalta has population of 14,000. It is an ancient city, and is thought to have been a place of great impor- tance in a remote past. The history of the place commences in the 18th century when it was mentioned by the Arabian geographer, Ibn Edrizi. At one time, it belonged to the pa triarchs of Constantinople. It began it's career as playground and recrea- tion paradise for wealth and fashion in 1898, when it was made the chief town of a district"

Washington, D. C., Jan. 18-"Jal- ta the Newport of Russia, to which even such favored regions of the world as the garden lands of Califor- mia and the Riviera must yield when climates are compared, is today a stronghold of society utterly eclipsed by war, a lonely, unvisited little vil- lage whose prestige and fame have departed over night, a Newport un- tenanted, forgotten by the press and by all the people, who, in peace times, eagerly read about all the social sp1endors there," begins @ statement just given out by the National Geo. graphic society.
