THE BIG SHDW THIS WEEK. Some Inside Tips Regarding Life of Circus People. • ' i' 1 i “I would not want to earn my living in that way,” is a remark heard on ail i' sides when one attends a performance of 'a big circus institution like that of ; the Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows. Such a remark may be made when the animal trainer pulls the Hons by their . tails and puts his head in their i mouths; the exclamation may be elicited by the flights of the aerial performers as they glide gracefully through the air, apparently tempting death. If the hardened circus employee is asked to name the most . hazardous act with the show, the most risky feat, he will instantly refer you to the fhariot race. There is one per- . son enlisted with the Hagenbeck-Wal-lace Shows that has been carried senseless from the arena to the dress- . ing tent more tli»es than all bf the rest of the performers combined, and that person is Mme. Abrams, the woman of iron, who drives the woman’s chariot in the races. People will risk their life for money. In order to insure real racing, Mr. Wallace offers every week, it is said, SSO in addition to the'salaries, .to the : person who wins the most of the races in their class. t Mrs. Abrams competes with a man in the chariot ’ faces. She generally wins the most though occasionally the man wins the extra money. The ordinary driver, if driving down the street at a fairly gool clip, will slack up his team if it It about to make a turn, but in these chariot races in a circus tent the drivers have only 45 feet in which to make a turn of half a circle. So dangerous Is this feat that when Mme. Abrams, is unable to -drive because of accident there is. not another woman of the hundred or more •bo'* that Will drive In that race. This woman has driven herself through life and around the world. She has participated in races among civilized people, and feels as much at home behind ; her four-in-hand with her chariot as the engineer on his engine. She enters the race without fear, unless the . ground is unusually rough, and she , has good reason ib anticipate being thrown over, but never does Mme. Abrams refute to ride If she is able to do so. Last season in Rogers Park, Arfc. durfng tfid matinee performance, she was hurled out at the turn and landed against the seats, being knocked unconscious. Mrs. Abrams was forced to miss Riding that evening, but the next day she drove, although it was necessary to carry her to the chariot in a ©hair. For a week, it is said, she required the service of a carriage to go to the circus grounds and walked with a cane, and yet she has not missed a racO since. Mr. Abrams, the superintendent of the stock with the same show, a man of little stature, but of much energy, never fails to be close at hand when the 'hippodrome races are called, and many times has he assisted in tenderly carrying, his wife from the arena as* she was unconscious from an accident in the races, it is said. As the chariotseers dash around the abrupt turns <m a circus hippodrome track ,ft is possible for any stiff stubble to cause the chariot to upset, or as the chariots arc forced to pass each, other ; at the narrow and short turn, the hubs of the inner wheels 1 may rub, and if one or the other driver does not pull away at the right instant, one of the two is sure to be roughly spilled into the laps of the audience. ' ; .7j A dressing tent of a circus is the sitting room of the circus family, and when accidents, such as Mme. Abrams encounters, do occur, her comrades . of th© circus sitting room do all they can for her and see that she has the many little attentions which an injured person would receive at home. - ; Miss Lucile Hale entertained the members of the Menu-ate club at 6 o’clock dinner.

cans of Indiana added to the perplexity of the voters, If not to their own, when at their recent meeting of candidates and leaders, they decided to support-Edgar D. Crumpacker for speaker of the house of representatives. Thus Senator Beveridge is going to run tor re-election on an insurgent platform and Congressman Crumpacker on a standpat platform. Congressman Crumpacker is by this movement set up as an issue of the campaign, a figure closely rivaling Senator Beveridge, and appealing for the support of the voters on the very ground that Senator Beveridge spurns. His indorsement for speaker is regarded as an open attempt to whip the “tegular” republicans into line. 4 was Congressman Crumpacker, it will be remembered, who recently sent word to E, M, Lee, republican state chairman, not to Betid any insurgent speakers into his district. It was said that he threatened to attack Senator Beveridge in his speeches if his order, was disobeyed. Congressman Crunipacker is a “regular” of the first magnitude, second in Indiana only to James E. Watson—it second to anyone. He was renominated for congress in the Tenth district on a standpat platform. He supported the PayneAldrich tariff bill and stands for the very things that Senator Beveridge is assailing. The .action with reference to Congressman Crumpacker jvas taken by a number of' the republican congressional nominees who were present at the meeting, and it was, doubtless, a surprise to Mr. Crumpacker, as he was not there to protest The meeting was announced with a blare of trumpets and it was said that former. Senator Hemenway, James E. Watson, Colonel Durbin, James P. Goodrich, and all the other notables bf the “Old Guard” would be there, not with bells on, but with their coats off, and ready to help the Bever jdje state committee to get down to business. As a matter of fact, not one of the "Old Guard” appeared with the exception of W. H. Freeman, who was very lonesome in the midst of the new masters of the republican ship. The men who formerly directed the work of the party were highly conspicuous by their absence. All of tiimn had important engagements elsewhere—and kept these other engagements. One of uiose' whoso absence was noted with keen {egret was Charles Sefrit of Washington, Ind., editor of the Washington Herald and a member of the.republican executive committee. No one ever thought for a minute that he would be absent and there were several who desired very earnestly to know why he made the charge in the Hearld that Senator Beveridge is deceiving the people of .Indiana in his professed attitude toward "reform” legislation—particularly the tariff. Mr. Sefrit said editorially in the Herald that Senator Beveridge would have voted for the tariff bill if his vote had been necessary for its passage. If this be true the Senator is deceiving the people of Indiana. 11l lit p IM»I II ~ I PAULIHAN WILL FLY NO MORE. (United Press Service.) Paris, Aug.

I KINDERGARTEN A SUCCESS.
