SPEER'S PORT GRAPE WINE ALSO ." OLD BURGUNDY WINE And Climax Brandy.

SPEER'S PORT GRAPE WINE NINE YEARS OLD. THIS CELEBRATED WINE is the pure Juice of the Oporto Grape, raised in Speer's vineyards, and left hanging until they shrink and partly raisin before gathering. It is invaluable Tonic and Strenstnemng Properties are unsurpassed by any other wines to the world, being produced under Mr. Speer's personal supervision, at his own vineyards, the past forty years. Its purity and genuineness are guaranteed by the principal Hospitals and Boards of Health who have examined it. It is particularly beneficial to the aged, debilitated and the weaker Bex. In every respect it is A WINE TO BE RELIED ON. I See that the signature of Alfred Speer, Fasale, N. J., is over the cork of each bottle. Speer's (Socialite) Claret Is held in high estimation for its richness as a Dry Table Wine, specially suited for dinner use. Speer's P.J. Sherry Is a wine of Superior Character and pa-takes of the rich qualities of the grape from which it ia made. Speer's Climax Brandy IS A PURE distillation of the grape, and stands unrivaled in this country for medicinal purpose?, eud equal in every respect to the high price Old Cognac Brandies or France, from which it cannot be distinguished.

" Thrillers' ' is the only word that aptly describes the sensational features of the big Barnum & Bailey circus this year. There is an unusually large number of these "thrillers," and they will be seen here next Friday, July 8, for the first time, but three of them stand out with such prominence as to call for special mention. In the language of the circus bill, "Volo, the Volitant" cycles the aerial arch. Solo descends a ladder on a single wheel while carrying a companion on his shoulder, and Ancilotti turns a somersault on a bicycle while "looping the gap." This, however, gives no adequate idea of the character of the acts nor the sensations they produce when seen for the first time. Perhaps the most interesting of these three acts is the whirlwind de

scent and uight of the daring Volo. Starting from a platform elevated fifty feet in the air, Volo wheels down a run-way ninety-three feet in length, secures sufficient momentum to fly fifty feet through space, lands on a second incline and descends to the ground with the speed of an eexpress train. The act displays great cleverness as well as remarkable nerve. The incline is less than three feet in width and the slightest swerving of the wheel would cause the rider to dart over the edge and be dashed to the ground. The cleverness of the rider is also shown in bringing the wheel down to the second incline. Should the bicycle strike on the back wheel the rider would be thrown an involuntary somersault and probably in i ure his back or kill himself. Volo j overcomes this by perfect mastery of j the wheel. There is a certain point in the flight when the momentum of the wheel seems to overcome the resistance of the air. At this moment Volo dexterously throws his front wheel down and the bicycle drops to the platform, striking fairly on both wheels. This enables the rider to descend safely and with great momentum. A thing thyit gives the Volo act an added interest is the fact that the daring rider is never lost to view. From the time he leaves the elevated platform until he stops his wheel a't the far end of the hippodrome track, he is always in sight, and every action can be watched and studied from all parts of the great tent. Volo's real name is Charles B. Clarke. He is a man of rather small stature, and with his close trimmed j beard, is the perfect type of a young j physician. In fact, he is "Doc" Clarke to all the circus, j "I was doing the 'loop the loop' I act last season," he said recently. "Tliis new act was suggested by a combination of the ideas of 'loop the loop' and 'shooting the chutes.' It jwas all figured out mathematically, jto ascertain the angle necessary for each plationn and the space that could be jumped. Then we had civil engineers figuring on it. Finally models wer made, with marbles instead of a bicycle. When I made the first jump everything was surrounded by nets. Everything worked just as anticipated, and I came out all right. When I tried it again I fell. Avas not hurt vcit much and was SOOll Oil to the KlKlfk of it There is a moment just as it looks when I practically stand still in the air. That is when the force of gravity overcomes the upward tendency, and I begin to come down. The tendency all of the time that I am in the air is to fall on my back, and I have to throw my weiirht forward. It is, of course, more difficult to control a bicycle in the air than on the ground." The trick riding down a ladder on a unicycle is a most difficult as well as dangerous one, and its perilous character is enhanced by the fact that the rider carries another member of the circus company on his shoulders. It is difficult to ride a single wheel on a level space, but to fly down an incline on a unicycle is a feat that few would dare to attempt. Solo, however, does it at erery performance and wins a generous amount of applause for his cleA'erness and daring. Scientifically, however, the most daring, as Avell as the most dangerous, of these "thrillers''' is the "gap." Those who have seen the "loop the loop" apparatus will readily understand the arrangement of the paraphernalia used in this feat. It is, in effect, a great loop Avith a section of top removed. The opening thus made is close lo twenty feet. Like Volo, Ancillotti, who "loops the gap," starts from an elevated platform and gets his momentum on an inclined runway. This momentum must be

sufficient to carry him over the" gap" no more no less. Too much would throw him over the top of the . second part of the loop. Insufficient momentum would make him fall in the open space. , The whole thing, therefore, had to be worked out with the greatest mathematical precision. Another danger is that the rider may fall back on the runway. This is partially avoided by a slight curve in the initial part of the circle. This, however, necessitates remarkable skill on the part of the riderfi for he must guide his wheel up the oblique path and literally throw himself into a position where his wheel will strike fairly on the opposite side. This must be accomplished, too, while

the rider and wheel are turning a complete somersault. He succeeds in doing it, however, and difficult and dangerous as the act is, an accident seldom occurs. Ancillotti, who performs this great feat is an Italian. He was bom in Turin, Italy about 34 years ago. His father was a famous performer f n the wheel, and was, in fact, the first European artist to give a public exhibition on a bicycle. That was forty years ago. Young Ancillotti !.egan his careers as a perofrmei4 at lhe age of four years. He was a member of his father's troupe, and performed a series of tricks on a tiny wheel. A few years ago his father retired, and since tnat time ivncinotii .:j- ueeu an inventor and performc of sensational acts. He introduced the "loop the loop" in Europe, invented the double loop, in which two daring bicycle riders ride around the circle simultaneously, and was the first man to cycle the "aerial arch" in France. The "gap" whicli he exploits at the I Barnum & Bailey circus, is his own J invention, and is patented in this country and in most of the European countries. FATHER STUART Celebration of His 96th Birthday Anniversary. The 96th birthday anniA'ersary of Amos Stuart of south seventeenth street was the occasion of a happy gathering of all his children and grandchildren in Indiana, to the num ber of twenty-fiA'e, while affectionate letters were received from all absent sons Elbridge and Addison, of Seattle, Wash.; Frank, of El Pason, Tex.; Harry, of Portland, Ore., and Dr. J. II. Stuart, of Minneapolis. Mr. Stuart was born on June 30. Mr. Stuart is in good health, in full possession of his faculties, deepply interested in current events and a daily reader of the newspaper. His eldest daughter, Mrs. William Bundy, of Dunreith, who is past 70, was able to be present, coming by interurban from her door to his own. Father Stuart is in position to fully appreciate all these modern miracles of convenience as the present generation never can. He has seen the postal service ar rive at its present efficient condition,' speed increased on the railways, tele- I graphs and cables installed, electricity j used for light and power, education advanced and religious freedom given to many of the nations of the world j since his bovhood davs. I It is a great pleasure to his wide cir j cle of friends and acquaintances to see him enjoy a calm and happy old ; age, and to have the benefit of his kindly counsels.
