The street parade is scheduled to
move from the show grounds at ten
o'clock. The arching, upcurved front
of a. splendid red and gold band char
lot, effulging fanfaring, crashing cat
aract of brazen melody and drawn by
many broad, pomponed white horses,
will first disclose itself. Stretching
for blocks behind, a sinuous scolorful
mass, crowned with dancing, distant
banner things, and suggesting in
glintings of gold and splashings of coll
or and on-coming argosy of glitter and
gorgeousness.
Slowly and deliberately, after the
fashion of circus parades, will appear
the knights and ladies on gaily capa-
risoned steeds; the golden pageant
dens filled with beasts of the forest
and jungle. the sum bright tableau cars
with crystal mirrors; the sundry clos
ed cages with historical paintings on
their Sides suggesting by the very Sc
crecy presence of marvellous prisoned
creatures; elephants and camels:g a
great golden chariot with our own Co
lunibia and her court travelling in i'm
perial pompt atop; the droves of Shet-
land ponies drawing the fairy vehicles
of nursery days; the funny, grinning
clowns in their paint and POWDER and.
last of all the unutterable grandeur,
the steam calliope,- whistling and BLAST
ing and shrieking.
Various free displays will follow the
return of the parade to the show
grounds. The department of ethno-
logy, comprising congress of odd and
curious people, will be continuously
open.
Performances of the circus will be
given at two o'clock and at eight
o'clock The crowds will be admitted
an hour earlier to permit observation
of the rare wild animals; queer quad :
rupeds, costly birds and other strange
living creatures of land, ocean and air
This great collage of natural science
forms an eilipseg OF chariot cages with

More than five thousand patrons
are invited to find comfortable seat

Property of Aliens <
 Safe, Says President

Owing to the many inquiries that have been made publicity is again given by the Department or state oi the United States government feoru- ary 8, to the following statement 1s- sued: :,
 It having been reported to him that there is anxiety in some quarters on the part of persons residing in tnls country who are the subjects or 1on- eign states lest their bank deposits or other property should be seized Ill the event of war between the United States anld foreign nation, the tres ident authorizes the statement that all such fears are entirely unfounded. The government of the United states will in no circumstances take advan- tage of a state of war to take possess sion of property to which international and the recognized law of the land give it no just claim or IL tie. It will scrupulously respect all private rights alike of it's own citizens and of the subjects of foreign states.
