WILL COME TO THIS CITY.

7 —7— A Famous Military Company of Zouaves Will Stop Here One Day ’ % The “Marion Zouaves” is a name given to the foremost military oompany to be found anywhere. They are living and extraordinary exemplars of the complex intricate military scienoe and art. Recently a New York writer* sent broadcast over this country an article whose purpose was to prove that there was no suoh thing as patriotism. Had he ever witnessed a performance by the Marion Zouaves that artiole would never have been written. There ' is something in their rapid drill and manouevers that stirs tbe emotion, the grace and skill with which they melt from one figure to another without a break of any i kind appeals in an emphatio 4 way to every individual, the eloquence of their work Bpeaks louder than the subtle lips of the orator, and as a result the human breast is swayed tenderly but positively by something wbiob is generally considered related to patriotism. There have been other companies of Zouaves, but it is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Wallace has seonred tbe best. Hailing from Indiana, the Wallace Show will this year be twioe a credit to that state sinoe the famous Marion Zouaves also oomprises a score of j Indiana’s ambitious young men who have by much sacrifice reached the very apex of military tactics. Their work is simply in- ’ desorible. They unite the elasticity and sgility of youth with the precision and skill of the veteran. It is a most happy combination of faculties neoessary for tbe phenomenal work they do. The Marion Zouaves are the most remarkable living exponents of military genius and tactios, and like a score of other features to be seen with the Wallace Circus, it alone is worth tbe price of admission, and worth going miles to see. The Marion Zouaves may be seen with the Great Walace Show, at Rensselaer, Saturday July 25th. 1
