PARKER SHOWS COMING.

THEY WILL BE THE FEATURE OF THE MID-SUMMER CARNIVAL TO BE GIVEN BY THE EAGLES THIS MONTH.

It is commonly thought that an enterprise like a circus or amusement aggregation like the great Parker shows, which will be seen here soon during the Eagles' carnival week, carries an enormous amount of money away from the town where it is playing. This is the view of those who

shows are in the city. An amusement enterprise

of the

magnitude of the Great Parker shows, necessarily takes in a large sum from the di'"- nt shows during the week. If this :e not so the shows would not be able to run. But where a dollar is taken in. almost t!- entire amount is re-spent in the i cy where the shows are playing with only the ordinary legitimate business profit which is left to take away with them.

This is more than made up for by the money the shows bring into the city by visitors from other towns. On the side of the shows, salaries are paid every week. This money goes out immediately in hotel bills, boarding house bills, clothes and other necessaries required by the employes of tho shows. Then there is the stock to feed and this i3 always bought in the city, as It would cost too much to move the feed on the train. Then there is the lumber used by the concession men, the advertising of the shows in the newspapers, on the billboards and thousands of other ways in which the money is returned to the city. Besides the money spent by the shows the visitors during the week will bring in hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars. In fact, the good a show does a city is far in excess of

possible harm and the merchants in every city are always more than anxious for a carnival week as it comes in the dull season and means a renewed activity in trade in all lines. The Great Parker Shows will be here for the Eagles mid-summer festival Aug. lf to 21.

This is "Creo," one of the special numbers he has arranged for, and which is

reputed to be indeed a remarkable act. In addition the program calls for much else that is interesting and in which the comedy element, the chief demand by the public, is predominant. There will be the usual order of performances this week, which means that at

night they are continuous from 7:i!0

The value of the diamond is at so much a karat and up to certain limit the value a karat increases as the size of the stone increases. When a karat diamond Is quoted at $l-r, a diamond weighing a half karat is counted at the rate of .$7o a karat, three-quarter karat diamonds at $HM a karat, one-and-one-quarter karat diamonds at $140 a karat, one-and-one-half karat diamonds at

$ir0 a karat, one and three-quarter karat diamonds at $1S0 a karat, and two karat stones at $20O a karat. Stones weighing more than two karats sell at about the same rate as that quoted for two karat stones, and do not increase as rapidly, owing to the more limited demand for the larger sized stones.

Valparaiso. Aug. V,. Work on the

railroad tunnel through the backbone

of the Andes is making excellent head

way, about as much having been ac

complished during the past six months as for the previous IS months. At the present rate it should be completed before the winter season of 1 S x ! sets in. which will be May 1 of that year. The tunnel is at an altitude of ll,r00 feet and is about 2Va miles in length. The state railways of Chile are valued at $!l.a4o.L'l United States gold, of which .$ll.ns4.1JS is invested in rolling stock. Nearly all the equipment is of European production. Extensive

new lines are planned for the near future. The cost . of operating these lines for ltXM was ?7,007.r,7!. The expenses exceeded the receipts by SSS,-4.VX

Chicago, August 2. Indictments were returned today in the United States district court against A. Booth & Co., generally known as the "fish trust"; the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad company and the Lehigh Valley railroad company, charging them with violation of the first provision of the Elkins law, prohibiting rebating. The indictment returned against A. Booth & Company, contains seventyfive counts; that against the New

York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad, fifty-one counts and a joint indictment

against the New York, Chicago & St

Louis railroad and the Lehigh Valley

railroad contains fifty-four counts.

If found guilty the corporations are liable to a fine of from $l,O0 to $l0,-

00O for each offense. Contention of the Government.

It is contended by the government

officials that A. Booth & Co., organiz

ed the Overland Refrigerator Express

company, which operated under a lease from Booth & Co., certain refrigerator

cars and collected from the railroads

mileage for the use of the cars and

commissions on the amount of freight

collected for property transported in them. No attack is made by the gov

ernment on this feature of the busi

ness of the Overland Refrigerator company, but it is contended that the Overland Express company "pretended to solicit" other business for the railroad companies. Among the business that it "pretended to solicit" was thdt of A. Booth & Company, and the railroad commissions on shipments made by A. Booth & Co. It is further contended by the government that the express company was actually operated by A. Booth & Co., and that the moneys received by it from the railroad companies were turned over to Booth & Co., in the guise of

rentals of cars leased by Booth & Co. to the express company.

Washington. Aug. 3. Legislation designed to repress the practice of gambling on vessels in interstate waters under the control of the Federal government is to be urged upon congress next winter by the authorities of the department of commerce and labor. Existing law gives no basis for

any proceedings directed against gambling under such circumstances. There have been a number of decisions warranting the government in depriving a vessel of the protection of her license in case she was devoted wholly to any illicit purpose not falling within the definition of the word "trade." This has been constructed to give ground for taking away the license of vessels wholly given over to gambling as in the case of certain steamers on the Great Lakes, but these cases are held by government officers to be different in character from those where a vessel has gambling apparatus on board merely as an incident to her chief occupation. In case there is further evidence

of overcrowding on excursion boats it is the intention of the authorities to begin the revocaton of the certificates of the masters of the vessels on which the overcrowding is practiced, under the general charge of misconduct.

The mayor of Litchfield. Eng., has issued an appeal for contributions toward the complete restoration of the birthplace of Dr. Samuel Johnson. The house was bought by Col. John Gilbert in HHK and by him presented to the city authorities. They converted it into a Johnson library and museum, and In 1!n1 it was dedicated to public uses by Dr. George Birkbeck Hill in the presence of the members of the Johnson club of London. Augustine Dirrel was the orator of the occasion. Since then many priceless gifts have been made to the institution.

One of the rules of the Weston-super-Mare, England, golf club reads: "A ball may be lifted and dropped with the loss of a stroke when played within the railings surrounding the powder magazines." There appears to be an element of danger in this kind of golf which reminds a London writer of a certain golf course on the West African coast, where the eighth and ninth holes are always optional, as several golfers are said to have been lost there owing to the proximity of the jungle, which is known to be a favorite lair of the lion.
