Thousands of the Local Series of Cards Disposed of
Each Year. GLEN VIEWS ARE POPULAR VISITORS TO THE CITY ALWAYS SEND AWAY MANY CARDS BEARINQ PARK PICTURES SALES ON THE INCREASE. The souvenir postal card craze has been at Its height for some time and seems to hold on with marvelous vitality. From a few cards sold tlree or four years ago, the trade has rown Into thousands every year even in Richmond, and millions In the large Cities. The original card was merely half tone illustration of some public building, and the trade for most part was with travelers, who found an easy way of ridding themselves of the burden of letter writing by dropping to tho folks at home a picture description oi a city's attractions on three or four cards. Nowadays the cards are printed in endless variety and people are buying; them for collections. People were startled, however, when an advertisement appeared in one of the July magazines, inserted by a "friend" who wished to exchange cards, offering to mail one in return for every one ho received from people careful enough to supply him with their names and addresses. From the simple half-tone reproduction of a public building, the business has grown to one of eminent respectability. Nearly every public building in Richmond has been reproduced on souvenir cards and in addition cards bearing pictures of the various churches, views in Glen Miller Park, street scenes, etc., are becoming highly popular. It is not only Richmond people who buy Richmond souvenir cards, for the major portion of the sales are made to traveling men and other vislttors to tho city. Jot Goar.

Which one he will accept he has not yet decided. With what ever one he may decide to go, it is certain that he will give faithful and efsclent service, as has been fully exemplified in his ser vice for Manager Ira Swisher, of the Gennett. Mr. Renk has shown an usual capa city for the committing of songs with in a short space of time, something that is essential In a singer of this style of song, as he is often required to get the words into his mind within a very short space of time, often in a single evening.

HB EVIDENCE Has in His Possession one of The Famous French Lick Casino Poker Chips.
BIG SENSATION CAUSED INDIANAPOLIS STIRRED UP OVER THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN THE CASE GOV. HANLY HAS A PLUTO CHECK. There is at least one Richmond man who holds in his possession material proof that the French Lick hotel com pany of which Thomas Toggart is the head, had "official" congnizance that gaming was going on in the casino adjuct. The evidence is in the form of a poker "chip" which bears the "red devil" on either side, the emblem of the famous Pluto spring at French Lick. The Richmond man, who is a traveler by profession, got the souvenir at the springs hotel some months ago and he like others in the State who possess these chips have substan tial evidence of the charges placed against the hotel company though which have been firmly denied by the hotel officials. As has been stated in dispatches in the Palladium, Governor Hanly, form er Mayor Holtzman, of Indianapolis and others also have these poker chips and it has been hinted that they will be exhibited in the campaign this fall. A dispatch from Indianapolis yesterday said: Is a Big Issue Now. The question of how Governor Hanly, John D. Holtzman and William R, Hearst got possession of Pluto poker chips was a bigger issue than the tariff in state political circles today. The subject was discussed with much fury at Democratic state headquarters. It was indignantly asserted by sever al Democratic leaders that Judge Bus kirk ought to cite Hanly, Holtzman and Hearst for contempt of court, their offense being to appropriate poker chips when the said chips were in the custody of the court. "When the state officials who have been moving on the breastworks at French Lick and West Baden, learned that Democrats were talking of hav ing them cited for contempt of court, they indulged in gleeful comment. Deputy Attorney-General Cash Hadley said that if it Is ordinary contempt of court to cabbage a poker chip it must be double-distilled, concentration, for ty-horsepower contempt to seize a roulette table that is in the custody of the law. He said that if the Demo crats want to invoke the contempt feature of the court's jurisdiction on the poker chip proposition the state officials will be after inquiring how much contempt was perpetrated by the bold cavalade that overpowered the of fleers, seized the roulette tables and rode like lightning into the fastnesses of the French Lick Valley. "Mr. Hadley said that as far as Hearst Is concerned the Democratic scorn is misdirected. He said that Hearst's emissaries got their chips by purchasing them in the ordinary way and then declining to sit in at the game. He was inclined to think that nearly all of the Pluto chips in cir culation were obtained In exactly that way. "Of course," said he, "a great many Pluto chlpa will be manufactured and sold as the real goods, but the state government cannot prevent the circulation of these phonies so long as the Pluto chip is such a popular article of furniture."

STINGS DESTROY SIGHT BEES INFLICT INJURIES Shelbyville Boy in Pitiable Plight as Result of Being Attacked by Angry Insects Which he Disturbed in Their Nest. Publishers' Press Shelbyville, Ind., July 28. As a re sult of stings from bees, Braxton Wha ley, six years old, son of B. F. Whaley, a gardener, is today blind. The boy was attacked by a swarm of bumblebees which he disturbed in their nest under a cactus pot. They stung him about the face in many places and upon the balls of his eyes. His flesh has swollen so as to close the eyelids. It is not' believed he will be able to see even after the swollen lids and cheeks have subsided. A corps of bee fighters was organized after the boy's experience and the en tire swarm was exterminated. HOW SYSTEM RULES THE (Continued From Page Three.) "The first wagons unloaded are those bearing the cooking outfit and as a rule the kitchen and dining tents are up and breakfast is ready before the first train is fairly unloaded. The second and third trains are unloaded with ease and dispatch and by eight o'clock all the circus paraphanalia is on the lot. "The boss canvasman becomes a power In these early hours. With a staff of markers he lays out the grounds and decides where each te-nt shall go. Then the big wagons drive up. the canvas, poles, etc., are dumped out, and like mushrooms the big tents go up. Every body including the ani mals has breakfast, and while the parade is being made ready the seats are arranged in the tents, the stages and the rings erected, the paraphanalia of the aerial artists swung and by ten o'clock the heavy work is practically finished. "Out goes the parade, and by the time it returns and appetizing lunch eon is ready in tne dining tents. Then

comes an hour of rest, and at one o'clock the ticket wagon Is opened and the selling of tickets is commenced. The main entrance doors are swung open and without trouble the crowds are gotten inside and seated. Supper is over before six o'clock in the evening and by six the work of taking down the tents and loading of the circus is commenced. Packing Up and Leaving. "First the kitchen and dining tents and the draft horses stables are dismantled, taken down and loaded into wagons. These vehicles together with floats and tableaux are hauled to the railroad and quickly shifted up on the flat cars. At 8:15 o'clock immediately after the evening performance is started, the entire menagerie is made ready for the night and ten minutes later the big cages are rumbling toward the cars. The menagerie tent, the tents of the blacksmiths, the wagonmakers, the doctor and the sideshow follow, and by the time the performance is over the main exhibition tent, the dressing room tents, the pad rope tents. First the seats are taken out of the big tent and loaded into wagons. Then the lights are stowed away and an instance later the mamoth canvas comes fluttering cfown to the ground like an injured baloon. "An hour later every stick and rag of the circus is enroute to the cars, and shortly after midnight fifty cars are loaded and ready for the next town. "And it's all done through system. Come out and see it when we come to Richmond and you will agree with me," concluded the circus man.
