The Barnum and Bailey -. Greatest Snow on Earth Is coming to Richmond on Monday, August 23, and this fact

the first advertising car with thirty-
five men on board comes to town early
Mnoday morning. Teams will be sent Into the country In all directions accompanied by men who will poet gaily

Between now and the show date ' there will be nearly a hundred advance agents' visit this city in the Interest of Baa-num and Bailey and their date here. Another to Follow.
One week after the first car arrives another will follow that and will look after the billing up and down the dif
ferent railroads. This is called the
excursion1 car because they advertise
in particular the low excursion rates to the show and the time of departure of the special train. Still another car
comes to town Just one week in ad
vanoe and they , will renew all of the
billing that has been done before them,
With such extensive advertising there to cure to be a tremendous crowd on
band on oircu day.
Barnum and Bailey are bringing here thte year what is positively
known to be the largest circus that ha ever been, organized to travel. It requires five trains made up of eighty five double length cars to haul th?
enormous equipment; there are 7K) horses of finest breed, 40 elephants a family of giraffes and 106-cage men-
egerie. Twenty-six Tents.
1 Twenty-six tent will be erestedand they Willi cover a space of fourteen
acre. Among them will be the largest drous tent that has ever been con
structed, and when this tented city is established it has a population, of
1JWO neoole who are actually era
stayed.
Ntaextr 400 Derformera. most of
whom are from abroad take part in the big circus program and they are
presenting a long list of foreign acts tfcat have not been seen in this coun
try before.
. in the all new dram the act that is
attracting the most attention tMs year is that of Jupiter, the balloon horse. Jupiter, a beautiful white thor-
' ouxhbred upon which is mounted
young' lady, steps upon a small platform attached to a balloon which ascends to the dome of the big circus
tent. When It has reached its highest
point, there are a series of loud re
norta and a hundred rockets are ex
ploded, which send forth a shower of
soarks and fire which completely en
velope both) horse and rider. Through
all this the brave animal stands like a statue for a slight nervousness on . bis part would mean bis destruction as
well as that of the young laay. In Blaze of Fire.
- The descent is made in a blaze of fire when horse and mount reave the arena in safety. - Yes, there will he a parade when Barnum's circus comes to town and it will be a parade that will long be remembered. For four years Barnum and Bailey have omitted this part of the morning program, but this season they have revived their street procession on a most , tremendous scale, the aim being to outdo all former ef
forts in the production of a street spectacle. It is claimed that it will be three times as long and that it repre
sents an expenditure of ten times the amount ever before invested.
It is a pretty good omen for the effectiveness of the navy of the United States that the new battle ship Michigan has been able to perform so well on her trial trip. Of 16.000 tons weight, this great ship has attained a higher average speed than any one of her seven sister ships of exactly the same tonnage the Connecticut, the Kansas, the Louisiana, the Minnesota, the New Hampshire, the South Carolina and the Vermont. The rate of travel was nearly twenty knots an hour, a wonderful performance for so huge a fighting ship. The Michigan was not stripped for speed, but made the trial requirements with full armor and armament. This means that the sides of the battle ship were covered with armor plate ten to twelve inches thick and that its turrets and barbette were likewise so covered. Besides all this was the weight of eight twelve-inch rifled guns and thirty-eight other guns of various kinds. The crew is a large ship's company 818 men and fifty-one
officers, the second largest In the navy.

Shelbyville, Ind., July 31. The
chorus girls in the "Sunny Side of
Broadway" may not fear the spotlight when it is tunned on them, but it is certain they do not hanker after the
light that comes from the clouds during an electrical storm.
The girls are a merry bunch, but
they were not meftry late yesterday afternoon when a terrific thunderstorm
struck this city. The show- opened at the theater here last ; night, and about 6 o'clock Boyle Woodfolk, the manager started to round up the girls,
but could find only six. who had tak
en refuge in a downtown drug store.
'Where are the others?" asked
Woodfolk.
'Hiding from the - lightning," was
the reply.
In Closets and Dark Cellars.
Some one had seen the missing
girls running- into private residences
Storm Scared Chorus Girls: Hid in Closets and Cellars
near the theater wnen the thunder
began to, crash and the lightning to play, and the whole bunch was finally
rounded up about 8 o'clock. Some of the girls had hidden in dark closets and others had taken to the cellars.
Among those who sought refuge un
derground was Miss Ella Hinsley, of
Indianapolis. She had an experience
in a tornado at Wichita. Kas..last year, and when the storm brokelast
night she was on the verge of nervous
collapse.
"No front parlor for me." she said,
"when there is a cyclone-proof cellar hamdy. I'll take my chances every time underground in preference to the
surface during a storm." Miss Hinsley soon recovered con
trol of her nerves and she was one of
the brightest of the bunch that took
part in the show. The performance was good and the company is Miss Elizabeth Risk, of this city, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Risk.
AUGUST SESSION
OF. COUNTY BOARD
Commissioners Will Have a
Meeting Monday.
The county commissioners will be to
session Monday for the first meeting of
the August term. Applications for li
quor licenses will be received. It is probable that the matter of the pro
posed purchase of land on the county farm by the Pennsylvania railway
company will come up for. discussion.
It is expected that as a way to solve
the difficulty, friendly condemnation
proceedings will be instituted against
the county by the railroad company
It will be purely a formal proceeding and end by the county's acceptance of the railroad's offer of ?3,000 for the
land.
MAKING GOLD LEAF.
by
The Beauty Spot Patch. The custom of wearing black patches to make the akin seem fairer came from the habit of applying in the sixteenth centary pieces of black velvet
or other dark stuff to the temples for the headache. A fashionable coquette discovered that these were becoming and brought then into use in France,
whence the custom spread into Eu
rope. They were worn not only by
women. . bvt by exquisites, though
their use was net general among men.
They were called mouches and were made round, square, oval and in the shape of stars, hearts, crescents and animals of all sorts, so that a lady's
face sometimes had the appearance of
a menagerie.

In one of the downtown , business streets may be seen sticking from one
Ioi tne upper wuunwi a massive arm and hand, the hand crasplug a huge
hammer and -the whole sign gilded. It
is the sign of the gold beaters' estab
llshment. where thousands of the gold
sheets are turned out after having
been packed by girls.
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid
of the breath than by the hands. The operation of transferring a sheet of almost transparent gold leaf from one
place to another is so delicate that it Is possible to do it only by a light puff of the breath. It takes most girls six weeks to acquire this knack, and
some girls are never able to acquire it.
The gold reaches the beaters first
In wide bars or nuggets and has to be
weighed, melted and made into Inch wide ribbons before anything else Is
done. The ribbon Is then cut Into inch
squares and beaten with a hammer
wielded by a man. When each leaf has been beaten thin it is transferred to a mold, where it Is beaten four hours more. The beating is done with a wooden , hammer weighing from seven to eighteen pounds, on a sheepskin cushion, which rests on a granite block. The . gold used for beating is
usually 22 or 23 carats fine. A little alloy of copper or silver is added to make it spread. It would be impossible, the beaters say, to handle perfectly pure gold. After the gold has been beaten It Is banded over to the girls, who lift the unshaped leaf from the mold with a pair of wooden pinchers, flatten it out on a sheepskin cushion by gently blowing on it. cut It to a perfect square, replace it between the leaves of the book and flatten it oat with the breath. There . are twenty-live leaves In a book, and a skilled girl can pack seventy, books In a day, for which she gets from to 3 cents a book. New York Times.

With receipted bills for "peach-bas
ket bats" in his pockets, the father
of a family of girls, or the mere man
who "puts up" for, the millinery of
wife, is confronted with a "furry terror" a new kind of "lid" which all
Richmond women will be wearing
soon.
There's a new hat coming from Par
is, where the first peach baskets
grew. It is a furry terror. The new
hat is shaped like a bandmaster's sha
ko. It is made of fur. Thev call the
thing the "toque riffa." It is fitted
down close to the eyebrows, over the
ears and covers the back of the neck,
It is about twelve inches from the
eyebrows to the summit, and is orna
mented on the side by a signet which
rises six inches above the dome.
The bat will do away with the wear
ing of the mysterious things called
"rats" which give a man the horrors when he puts his hands on the bureau in the dead of the night
An unsuccessful attempt was made
Thursday evening by a representative
of the Evening Item to have the Pal
ladium of that day refused the privi
lege of the mail. The Item man claimed this paper was carrying advertising matter such as is prohibited by the
postal laws concerning lotteries, games
of chance, etc An attaches of the postofflce was prevailed upon to hold the Palladium copies out of the mall
until telephone communication was obtained with Postmaster Spekenhier
who had spent the day at Hagerstown
The postmaster ordered the papers re-
eased from detention at once. In ad
dition he stated there was nothing in
the advertising matter referred to
that would classify it as concerning a lottery.

A local business bouse has been con
ducting a voting contest and offering
a piano as a prize. A purchaser is entitled to a certain number of tickets
or ballots, which may be voted for the contestants. The scheme is one for

considerable Interest among the pa
trons of the store. To promote the af
fair the columns of the Palladium and
several other papers of this section have been resorted to for advertising purposes. The Item has not been given

BILL UNGS FEAT. One of the Famous Old Outfielder's Sensational Catenas. The greatest individual feat ever performed was one by which Bill La nee saved a game for Chicago and
J20Q for himself in Washington in 1805. There is an odd story connected with the play. Laage bad missed a
train in Boston two days before, failed to reach New York in time to play
there, and Anson bad fined him $100.
Thereupon he missed a train to Washingtonarrived on the grounds aftr
the teams had practiced and Just in
time to play, and for that Anson fined
him another $100. The game that aft
ernoon went .eleven innings, Chicago
scorinsr one run in the eleventh. There
were two men out and a runner on the bases when "Kip" Sel bach, then
one of the hardest bitters In the busi
ness, smote the ball a terrific blow and sent it flying over Lange's head toward the center field fence. The hit seemed a sure home ran, but Laage, a man weighing 225 pounds, turned and
without looking sprinted desperately
straight out toward the fence, racing with the flying ball. At the .last instant, as the ball was. going over his head, Lange leaped, stock up both hands, turned a somersault and crashed against the fence. The boards splintered, . one entire panel crashed -outward, and out of the wreckage crawled Lange. holding the ball In bis hand, and the crowd went mad." Lange came limping to. with the crowd startling on seats shouting, and he said to Anson, "Fines go, cap?" "Nope.- said Anson, and the catch had saved the big fielder $200. Hugh S.
