There Is an air of pleasurable expectancy hanging over the local aerie of Eagles, all caused by the coming of the great Parker amusement company's shows, under its auspices. The members feel that Richmond will be really and truly treated to a carnivs of most excellent features; one of the like which has not been In Richmond in years. The reasons for the natural good feeling is justified, as at every point where the great Parker shows have been, the press has characterized them a3 "the greatest combination of tented attractions traveling the
United States." The Eagles have not yet decided upon a carnival site but it Is highly probable that the old East Main street grounds will be used owing to It3 close proximity to the street car li.ies. In speaking of the carnival, Tim O'Brien, chairman of the carnival committee said: "We do not caro to make much money off the enterprise, but hope to give the people of Richmond a strictly first class entertainment. If the carnival comes up to expectations and meets the approbation of the people of the city we will be content, even though only a small
sum Is made. We want to please the people and give them something they have not had in years a good carnival attraction."
The Olean, N, Y., Herald says of
the carnival, in an Issue of last week, the carnival company showing in that town: The train of the Parker company, called the Yellow Flyer, which consists of thirty-two double length cars, attracted considerable attention as it pulled Into the city last night. It is said to be the finest show train in existence and is one of four belonging to the Parker aggregation. The Parker shows are the largest single amusement enterprise in the world. There 13 a million, five hundred thousand dollars invested in the different amusement ' enterprises of which CtJ-W. Parker is the founder. The .Great Parker Shows bring with them to Olean fourteen large attractions, including all that is latest and best In the amusement line. Their attractions, although traveling under the name of Carnival company are far above those of any other Carnival company in the world and rank with the greatest amusements. Their free acts, which will be seen every afternoon and night at the grounds, are the most expensive to be found anywhere and Include the acts of the famous Flying Valentlnos in their casting and return work, their ring act and their breakaway ladder act and the Hayden family, experts on the double trapeze and tight wire. There are three big feature shows with the aggregation, the Sunflower Belles, the Trained Wild Animal Show
and the Superba. The first is the big song vaudeville show and employs 50 people, being the largest vaudeville entertainment ever placed under canvas. The company numbers such artists as the Martyne Sisters in songs and dances; the Harmonious Four, a male quartet of exceptional ability; Mile. Anita, the beautiful little French toe dancer; Miss Florence Lane in a great rube specialty and many others. In this show the famous chorus, the Bunch of Sunflowers is seen.

Amusements
Repertoire at the Gennett.
This week will close the engagement of the Cutter Stock company at the Gennett and it appears that the fourth week will be as successful as the three that have preceded, which is saying a great deal for the engagement has been satisfactory to public and manager alike, and especially so considering the extremely warm weather that has been encountered. In the three weeks the company has been presenting three plays a week, but for the closing week this number has been Increased and five will be offered so that Increased opportunity to attend is given without the necessity of seeing a bill repeated. For Monday night the bill Is "Thorns and Orange Blossoms;" for Tuesday night and Wednesday matinee, "The Hidden Hand;" for Wednesday night, "The Moonshiners;" for Thursday night, "The Red Cross Nurse," and for Friday night and Saturday matinee and night, "The Cowboy Sheriff." It will be seen at a glance that thi3 is no mean repertoire, but on the contrary will prove very attractive. The company has already so well established itself in public favor with Its splendid plays and worthy specialties, that prolonged comment is unnecessary. The usual rule
of admitting ladies free will be followed Monday night, and on Friday night the amateurs will again have their inning. Manager Swisher is very hope
ful of being able to secure the Cutters for a return engagement sometime dur
ing the fall or winter months and such would be very pleasing to his patrons.

Another party of five will arrive Saturday afternoon.
Washington, July 27. An official report from Switzerland, reviewing the export trade of that country in fruits, states that with its enormous influx of foreigners Switzerland is a large importer of fresh table fruit that will keep, fruit being received in great quantities from Italy, France and Germany. It is declared that for Ameri
can table fruit of durable quality a large and profitable field might be opened in Switzerland, and this is true in spite of the fact that isolated attempts of Swiss importers have failed, but only because they had bought the American fruit Indirectly, and after it had lain in storage in Hamburg for a long time.

Can be placed in any room in the house. Does not need a chimney. Burn either artificial or natural gas.
In this day of modern household conveniences, we have our gas stoves, our gasoline ranges and every known appliance to reduce the labor of the house wife. But it remains for the Odorless Gas Grate to eclipse anything In the heating world. Think of it a gas grate that will burn without a chimney, built or placed in any part of the house with absolute safety. It will never burn over 15 feet of gas per hour, cheaper than a base burner or coal heater, and yet noted for its heating qualities. You can see one in full operation at the Dickinson Trust Co., on Sth street. Remember you can have one placed in jour home, without building a chimney. The cheapest gas grate on the market today. No odor, no chimney expense

Vaudeville at the Phillips. For this week Manager Murray of the New Phillips vaudeville theater is again offering an unusually large bill, as in addition to the regular number of acts he has arranged with J. C. Nugent and company, who made such a pleasing Impression last week in "The Rounders" to remain andpresent two other sketches, in which line they have had few equals at the Phillips in recent months. In addition
the program calls for much that Is
highly entertaining, and different from the numbers that have preceded. For Instance there is a Japanese musical monologue, and pedestal dancing. Every indication is that at no time in a long while has more been offered for the money than the patrons of this popular house will receive this week and the fact that a continuous performance Is given for almost three hours at night is an added inducement to attend, as it affords such splendid opportunities for those who are not at liberty until too late to attend a performance beginning at the usual hour. Below is the complete program for the week: Overture. Miss Grace Miller. Kraft and Myrtle, the two newsies. Illustrated song. Cal Lankert, "Take a Sail in My Boat." Yamato Ohana, Japanese magical monologue. Mack and Held, novelty singing, ped
estal dancing and bagpunching act.

Melbourne. July 27. Notice has
been given by the Melbourne banks that the currency of drafts on London under eastern or American credits
shall not exceed three months, in
stead of six months as has been the case for many years past. It was felt
that the old term of six months
which was applicable to the days of
sailing vessels, was out of date now
that the use of steam had brought dis
tant ports so close together. It is understood that owing to the shorter currency of the credit a check on
speculative trading will be imposed.

Who Sot the Example?
A proud mother recently called a visitor's attention to her three-yeartold
daughter, who was playing with a
dolls house on the hearth rag. Sud
deuly Mr. Baker, the wooden master of
the establishment, was found to be
missing, and after ten minutes' search
was discovered under the fender. Mrs.
Baker was carefully lifted out of the
bouse to face her wooden spouse.
"So you hare turn home?" remarked
the little one in her most sarcastic
tones, on behalf of the wooden lady.
The equally wooden gentleman made
no reply.
"Il'mr continued the little one scorn
