A URGE CROWD HERE Big Ringling Show Was Center of Local AttractionStreets Filled. Dingalingaling. "What's that? Oh yes, the alarm clock. I wonder If that first section of Rlngling's has arrived." Between, 500 and 600 persons who do not usually kick off the bedclothes until 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning arose this morning about 4:30 or 5 o'clock and hiked to the railroad yards to witness the arrival of the Ringling Bros, mammoth circus. The railroad crossing at Twelfth street was crowded as was the circus grounds on Nineteenth street. Several accidents were narrowly averted at the Twelfth street crossing while the heavy wagons were being unloaded from the trains. Two patrol man were stationed at the crossing j ana iney succeeaea in Keeping persons basck from the space necessary for the teams and wagons to operate. It was the usual curious crowd which can be seen any time a circus "comes to town." To the 300 or 400 spectators on the circus grounds marveled at the system employed in erecting the great white city. Although seeing from six to ten men pounding on one stake, without missing a stroke, is nothing new it always holds the attention of the spectators. The eating tent was also a point for curious observation. However, the employes who had already put in a third of a day's work were unmindful of the scores of pairs of eyes watching their every move while dining. By eight o'clock all of the tents were erected, breakfast over, and preparations were being made for the parade. The parade was one of the best seen In this city for sveral years and the streets along which the, pageant passed were thronged with people who flocked into Richmond from every direction. There was the usual cries of the peanut vender, the candy seller, popcorn peddler, and the others with toy baloons, which floated like -clusters of colored bubbles above the heads of the crowd. Bashful youths and timid maidens arm-in-arm pressed their way to the lemonade stands and sipped the crimson-colored ambrosia and purchased (peanuts and cracker jack recklessly. This afternoon's performance was attended by an overflowing crowd and lit is likely the show this evening will !be seen by a larger crowd. "I didn't care to come but I Just thought I'd 'brind the children," could be heard .on every side, the statement being made by a man or woman, with from two to five children clinging to them, for fear of being lost in the pushing and shoving crowd. Students in the public schools were granted the opportunity of witnessing' the parade this morning although no student was excused from school this afternoon without a physician's certificate. However, the absent list was said to be larger than for any other day during this semester. - Some of the shops were also closed today. There never was a time when people appreciated the real merits of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy more than now. This is shown by the in crease in sales and voluntary testimonials from persons who have been cured by it. If you or your children are troubled with a cough or cold give It a trial and become acquainted with Its good qualities. For sale by all dealers. Miss Catherine Conway, of Boston, who was honored by the pope recently with a medal and autograph diploma. Is one of only three Catholic women In this country so honored. SUFFERED EVERYTHING For Fourteen Years. Restored To Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Elgin, IIL "After fourteen years of suffering everything from female comi plaints, I am at last restored to health. "I employed the best doctors and even went to the hospital for treat ment and was told there was no help for me. But while taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I began to improve and I continued its use until I was made well. " Mrs. Henry Leiseberg,743 Adams St. Kearneysville, W.

Don't Be Unreasonable

If You Neglect the Care of the Scalp You Should Not Expect Beautiful Hair The hair is more exposed and hence more liable to accumulate dust and dirt than any other portion of the body. In spite of this the hair receives, as a rule, the least attention and real effort is made to keep it healthy. If the dandruff germ is allowed to work unmolested and the scalp becomes crusted with dirt accumulations, 6ne may expect the hair to die and fall out. There is no cause for surprise in this phenomenon; it is natural and happens in every instance where the care of the hair and scalp is overlooked. The one sure remedy which prevents the loss of hair and permits a healthy, luxuriant growth is found in Newbro's Herpicide. The dandruff germ cannot live on a head to which Herpicide is regularly applied. The germ dies. The hair ceases to fall. The terrible itching stops almost instantly. That is what Newbro's Herpicide does. One dollar size bottles are sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Send 10c in stamps for booklet and sample to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R,, Detroit, Mich.

A sort of debased musical comedy. Although, come to think of it, it's quite as good, or not half as bad artistically whichever way you care to put it, as 'The Beauty Spot." "The United States is a syndicate run by Morgan, Rockefeller and Carnegie," is the best line and ought to fetch the Socialists. The best song a description of a Turkish bath, and a poker game is good farce. The company has a couple of amusing comedians. E. G. W. ' " HErt KEEN REMORSE. It Showed Itself In an Entirely Unexpected Manner. There Is in our navy a certain rear admiral, grave, serious minded, conscientious, who is an excellent disciplina rian. But he has had his failures too. In his younger days he was greatly distressed by the thoughtlessness of his charming wife. She had pinned her silk petticoat in the back until there was a great frayed place at the band. She continued to wear the petticoat, however, although her efforts to keep on pinning it at the frayed place always evoked a little storm of irritation and temper. In vain her husband urged her to mend it. Finally he decided that the only way to reform his wife was to fill her with remorse. So this future comtin abb a raw mobs." mander of battleships with his own hands ripped oft the old frayed band and sewed on a new one. Then he took it to his wife. She was greatly moved, thanked him, kissed him and left the room. Presently she came back, her armi laden with garments. "Here are a few more for you, dear est," she said. "But please don't hurry ubout them. Just fix them whenevei you have time." And she put seven petticoats on the chair beside her dazed husband. Youth's Companion. Lacking Improvements. Tim Hurst, the prize fight referee, was formerly an umpire in the big leagues. He was behind the bat one day and the catcher took exceptions to Tim's Judgment of pitched balls. One came whizzing over that the catcher thought should haTe been called a strike. Ball!" stated Tim. '"Look here. Mr. Umpire," said th catcher, that plate has got corners on it!" v "Yes, son," said Tim, "but it ain't got bay windows on It!" - Diamonds are in as great demand as ever.

ODIVA The Sensational Samoan Diving Queen At the Murray Next Week.

f ' , 7- Lr s4 : ' Richmond theater goers are to have the unexpected opportunity of seeing Odiva, the famous "Venus of the Deep," and to see this remarkable Samoan pearl diver is to marvel. At least this was the experience of the usually blase audiences in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago and as nothing like Odiva's performance has ever been seen here, something in the way of a sensation can naturally be expected. Manager Murray saw Odiva at the Keith vaudeville theater in Dayton last week and was so impressed with her truly marvelous ability both as a swimmer and a diver that he took immediate steps to Secure the attraction with the result that by special arrangement with the Keith circuit, Odiva will appear at the Murray theater every performance next week as the star feature of a five act vaudeville bill that will surpass anything seen here this season. Odiva appears in a mammoth glass tank weighing thirty tons which rests in full view of the audience. Diving from spring-boards arranged in height from 20 feet all the way to the flies and performing swimming and endurance feats far beyond anything ever attempted. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, amateur contests will, be held between the swimmers of Richmond and all who desire to enter can do so by leaving their names and addresses at the Murray theater box office.5 The Eskimos and the Bible. Frank Cross, a t missionary among the Eskimos, has found considerable difficulty In using the illustration of the Bible in arctic, regions. He gives two amusing anecdotes to bear out his statements. First, how his Eskimo interpreter translated a well known text Into the following: "Every log that bringeth not. up good 'appik is cut up and used for firewood," "appik" being the Eskimo for dried apples and the nearest thing to fruit that they know. Again, of law, justice and government they have not the remotest notion. Mr. Cross" nearest neighbor had hundreds of dollars' worth of furs deposited in a cache. Wishing to preach on "Where Thieves Break Through and Steal," the interpreter gave up his attempt at translation, for he said such a thing was impossible among them.T. P.'s London Weekly. MAKE YOUR.

WEBSTER'S BLUE COATS. His Liking For the Color Came From His Early Homespun Suits. Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth college in a homespun suit of whicb probably every thread was carded, spun and woven by bis mother's band from the wool of their own sheep. It was a dyed in the wool suit, and tbe color was indigo blue. In the south butternut was used; but. though the Yankee dames knew all about the uses of butternut bark and the subtle power for slate color that lay in the sumac berries and bark of white maple and were not unacquainted with the various dyes that root and flower, bark and leaf could be made to yield through the agency of vitriol and alum and copperas to "set them fast, the universal standby in New England was the blue pot. par excellence the "dye pot," that stood In the chimney corner of every kitchen in that region. So Webster was fitted out in Indigo blue from collar to ankle. Before reaching Hanover there came on one of those drenching rains that wet a man to the skin. The suit held its own. but it parted with enough dye to tinge Daniel blue from head to foot. Webster had a liberal stratum of sentiment in his mental makeup, and for some reason the color of his young manhood remained his favorite wear through life. He wore blue coats to bis dying day. If any one ever saw him in one of a different color the fact has not been made of record. Exchange.
