.An audience numbering betw'eon
3,000 and 4,000 people witnessed the
stadium exhibition last night from
the inside, while perhaps half as many
more got occasional glimpsese of some
of the highest acts from the Pike
streets. The police made it interesting
for a couple of hundred boys whose
eyes, were glued to sundry crevices
in the fence and were not aware of
the presence of the guardians of the
law until too late.
In the crowd last night was a liberal
representation, from out-of-town,
though the city furnished more than
half of the crowd. The reserved seats
were comfortably filled, and the side
rows accommodated a good sized con
tingent, especially during the cavalry
drill. ‘ - V
There were a number of ohgfnfees
from the progrumme # of the night'pre
vious, and these added to the enter
tainment. For instance, Troop H gave
come pleasing variations in. their drill,-
ond the Weitzmans Dresented their
act, to the great delight of the crowd.
Pervading the entire crowd was an
absorbing interest In the various at*
tractions offered. Whether it was the
cavalry, the trapeze acts, the bicycle
riding, the high wire act. or whatever
the stunt for the time, it was watched
with an intentness which showed that
the observer took a lively Interest in
what was going on. In fact, it would
fee safe to say very few found a dull
minute during the two hours the sta
dium was open last night.
liHurelM for Trooy H.
As on the night before, the perform
ance opened with the drill of Troop
H, Seventh Cavalry. In addition to
the features of the first drill, there was
added an act in which the men used
their horses for breastworks and fired
at the advancing horsemen. The
feature reminded the observers Of a
Wild West show, the firing of a half
hundred pistols for a full round caus
ing the more timorous to feel 'the re
alism acutely. The good work of the
Accessibility
'..mi **
. i .Vi . ‘ )
The mechanism of an automobile requires occasional adjust
ment and the ease with which this can be accomplished is a fea
ture of the Oldsmobile Light Tonneau Car.
By raising the hinged foot board in front, easy access can be had to
the spark plug, valve mechanism, carburetor and circulating pump.
There is no mechanism under the tonneau seat, because the cylinder
head is at the forward end of the machine. Any adjustment can be made
without disturbing the passengers.
The body can be taken off in four minutes by loosening four bolts,
exposing every part of the machine. This means a saving in time and ex
pense in case repairs are needed.

■cavalry was frequently applauded by
the crowd, the ladies waving handker
chiefs and cheering with the men.
Following the drill came the Bicketts
in their ladder act on one side, while
the Indian Juggler entertained the
other side of the arena. The Bicketts
appeared next in their casting act,
which provoked applause. The turns
through the air of one of the women
and the catches by her companion were
thrilling and were cleverly executed.
Melville in his aerial act was at work
on the opposite side of the arena at
the same time.
Weit*niun Slade a Hit.
Unstinted praise should be given the
Weitzmans in their marvelous high
wire acts. This number was added
since the night before, and proved a
winner. All kinds of difficult tricks
on the wire were performed.
In the elephant walking act there was
a distinctive feature which amused and
delighted the crowd. The Weitzmans—
man and woman—threw over them
selves an elephant's cowl and body, a
realistic tail being manipulated from
the interior of the human elephant, in
such a manner as to cause much
laughter. As an elephant the pair
made their way in safety across the
wire ninety feet above the ground, no
kindly netting being stretched beneath
them. Once the elephant paused for
some elumsv antics.
But the crowning piece of their act
was when Weitzman used as a balanc
ing pole a stick with fireworks at each
end, and a head piece which was sim
ilarly loaded. The torch was applied
as he started, and in a moment the
wheels were sputtering and throwing
off meteoric showers. In the center
of the wire was a frame with fireworks
attached, and stopping in the certter
the daring wire artist touched off the
fuses, and was almost instantly sur
rounded by walls of fire, through which
he appeared as in a fiery furnace.
The final number was the Stones In
thel* act of “Looping the Globe.”
Ilys afternoon tho performance will
begin at 3 o’clock, instead of 2. as here
tofore announced. Yesterday after
noon the aav'was delightful, and the
small crowdT which came out thoroughly
enjoyed' the show. The -mildness •of
the weather made the occasion an ideal
one.
“Onr Mayor” To-niglit.
To-night the show will begin at 8
o'clock, as usual. The special feature
will be the fireworks, the chief piece of
which will, be a picture of “Our May
or,” representing the smiling counte
nance -of Mayor Myers. The display
of assorted fireworks will be very large
and it is expected that those who en
joy seeing such displays will be on
hand in large numbers.
Negotiations are on foot to secure
the attendance of the Citizens March
ing Club, and make the evening a po
litical one. The picture of Judge
Parker will also be shown, and if the
Marching Club accepts the Invitation
the occasion will be a notable one.
Arrangements are also being made
to have a Children's Day, a Merchants
Night, and perhaps other special oc
casions.
Band Does Part Weil.
One of the notable features of the
carnival, and one which is contribut
ing largely to its success is Abel's

band. During almost the entire per
formance the band dispenses music,
and all delays are rendered acceptable
by the artistic work. Yesterday after
noon the band was driven over the city
in a tallv-ho to advertise the show at
night.
Along the Pike there were busy times
last night, perhaps 2,000 people visiting
the attractions. Confetti was also
much in evidence, and seemed to be
growing in favor. It is probable that
the remaining four nights of the show
will witness great sport in this line
among the young people.
One of the most unique and high
grade attractions of the Pike is "Che
queta.” the smallest living horse. The
little animal weighs 47 pounds and has
hair as heavy and soft as the fleece of
a lamb. The horse is affectionate, and
is obedient to its owner, Mr. Miles
Berm.
The Volcano was perhaps the most
liberally patronized of any of the Pike
shows last night. The eruption of a
volcano is shown by electricity, making
a most interesting and instructive ex
hibit.
The street cars are handling the
crowds admirably. The Montgomery
street cars pass in front of the Pike
entrance, and run every few minutes.
The A. & B. cars run every six min
utes each wav, and go within two
blocks of the entrance.
Protltnhle to Merchants.
The merchants are feeling the stim
ulus to trade by the presence of so
many visitors. One merchant who sub
scribed liberally to the advance sale of
tickets and sent them to his customers,
had nearly fifth of the recipients to
see his yesterday at his place of busi
ness. All thanked him for the tickets
and many took occasion to make some
purchases.
The railroad tickets are good to re
turn until next Monday.
From various points over the city
balloons will be sent up during the
afternoon to advertise the Carnival. To
each balloon will be attached a 10-
foot streamer, with thfe word ''Carni
val” in large letters.
Attached to each streamer will be a
ticket for the Carnival, and the lucky
finder of the landing place of the bal
loons will get free admission to the
show at night. The balloons are 15
feet high and will float In midair for
some time. It is expected there will
be quite a rivalry among the boys in
watching for the fall of the aerial
birds.
THINGS TO SEE
ON “THE PIKE.”
Dog and Pony Show—The dog
and pony show is an inter
esting collection of ponies and dogs.
They are educated and their remark
able performance makes the attraction
one of the best on the Pike. There are
eight ponies and ten dogs in the mili
tary drill.
Creation. —This show is one of the
features of the Pike. It is moving
pictures, showing Edison’s master
piece. The great train robbery, the
strike and the social drama are pre
sented in a life-like way and the man
ner in which the work is carried on is
remarkable.
Mysterious Asia—ln olden times the
Greeks fought in the mountain dis
tricts with broadswords and shields.
This is the feature of the streets of
Asia, and is one of the most interest
ing exhibitions of skilled fencing ever
seen here. The muscle dance is seen
here also. ,
Chequeta—This is said to be the
smallest horse in the world. Chequeta
is 24 inches tall, and weighs less than
fifty pounds. She is 5 years old and is
known at all of the big horse shows in
the United States. She is Maltese color
and has a coat of fur two inches long.
She is wonderfully intelligent and is
as gentle as a kitten. Children flock
to see the tiny animal.
The Big Snake—The Jumbo snake
is 27 feet long, weighs 240 pounds and
eats but once a month, taking a sheep
at a meal. The snake was captured
in South Africa by Boer soldiers in
an anteater’s hole. The ten babies
that weigh 40 pounds each were cap
tured crawling out of the hole.
Darkness and Dawn— This is one of
the cleanest, cleverest and most whole
some shows on the Pike. It is full of
interesting and striking transforma
tion scenes and was one of the draw
ing attractions yesterday and last
night. Children like it and grown peo
ple er.Joy It. The Phantom Cafe is
aimusing.
The Diving Children—This is a thrill
ing Attraction and a popular one. It is
a family of high divers—the Meiers.
Miss Bessie and Master Tom mnkihg
thrilling dives in shallow water from
a 40-foot tower, while little Elma, 8
years old, baby Minnie, 6 years old,
baby Neptune and baby Aqua dive and

The Volcano—The Volcano show at
the carnival was witnessed by large
crowds yesterday afternoon and last
night. Every one spoke In the highest
praisee of its merits. Crowds of chil
dren from the public schools were
present In the afternoon.
NEGRO CURSES AMD PRAYS,
AND THEM HE MARCHES.
First cursing and then praying, and
between the two imagining himself a
soldier on parade, Eugene Lucky, a
negro, was arrested yesterday on a
charge of lunacy.
The unfortunate man was made a
prisoner by Patrolman Jim Brown and
Sanitary Inspector McDonnell In New
lane. He created considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood, and both
officers were required to make the ar
rest. Lucky in name, but not In fact,
the negro was sent to the police sta
tion for safe keeping. He was later
committed to Jail on a warrant from
the Court of Ordinary.

ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS DAYS
History and Legends of All Saints-AIl Souls Day
Will Be Observed With Special Masses.
Yesterday was All Saints' Day, a
festival that was observed ’with ap
propriate services in the Roman Cath
olic and Episcopal churches. To-day
is All Souls Day and will be observed
by special masses In the Roman Cath
olio churches.
All Saints Day is known under
many different names. In the old
English it was called All Hallows, All
Hallowmas, or simply Hallowmas. It
is distinctly a church festival and was
Introduced because of the Impossi
bility of observing a separate day for
each of the saints. It came into general
observance early in the history of the
Christian Church, appearing first in
the Greek Church.
In this division of the church the
observance of the festival appears as
early as the fourth century, imme
diately after the cessation of the per
secution. At that time the first Sun
day after Easter was appointed by
the Greek Church for revering the
memories of the martyrs generally. In
the Church of Rome a similar festival
was introduced in 810. At that time
the old mythological Pantheon (the
present Rotunda or Santa Marla del
Mariri), was consecrated, the ceremo
nies taking place on March 13.
Instituted by Gregory IV.
The real festival of All-Saints Day,
however, was first regularly institu
ted by Pope Gregory IV on Nov. 1,
835. The exact reasons for fixing upon
that day is not known, but it was
doubtless due to the fact that Nov. 1,
or rather, the eve preceding it, was one
of the four great festivals of the heath
en nations of the north. These festi
vals were held on the first day of No
vember, February, May and August.
A curious commingling of the old
myths, with all their beauties, and the
teachings of the Christian Church has
resulted. Popular fancy among the
nations of the north, which were Just
then becoming Christianized thorough
ly mingled with the teachings of the
priests. To-day the quaint and curi
ous customs are still carried out in
pleasant gatherings on the eve pre
ceding the feast, the well known and
popular Hallowe'en.
Superstitions springing from the old
Teutons are practiced to-day in a
spirit of fun. The maiden walks slow
ly backward up the stali-s. looking all
the while into a mirror which she is
carrying In her hands. On the top
step she Is to be greeted by the face of
her future husband, and timid lovers
have made much of the story.
If an apple is carefully peeled and
the long, slender peeling twirled three
times around the head and then flung
across the room. Fate's hand wljl
cause it to shape Itself in the form of
the initial letter of the true lovers
name. Myriad other customs have
grown up around the day. and the
younger generation look upbn it now
as somewhat of a holiday and a night
for prank-playing.
In its church significance it is a
beautiful custom. It, Is the rime when
those who have boe&onjoying the ben
efits whleh Christknjjty has bestowed
upon them, with <>££ accord, unite In
paying honor to the memory of those
who won the fight against, the pagan
emperors of imperial Rome.

Bfine finish is the rule
W* rgatory. Connected with the ob
servance of the day Is an old legend,
typical of the days of the wanderings
of the monks, seeking to do good for
all classes. The following are the
principal points in the old story:
A pilgrim returning from the Holy
Land was driven by a storm upon the
rocks of an Island somewhere between
Sicily and Thessalonica. Her# he
found an old hermit who told him that
among the cliffs of the Island was
situated the opening into the nether
world. Through this opening huge
flames ascended always, and the
groans and cries of the souls In tor
ment was continually rising, cries
wrung from them by the tortures in
flicted by evil angels.
The hermit has also heard, while
listening at the opening, the com
plaints of the devils at the number of
souls that were torn from them by
the prayers and alms of the pious on
earth. Especially was the wrath of
the fallen angels kindled against the
abbot of Clugny, and those who dwelt
with him there. Odilo, the pious, was
then abbot of Clugny. and when the
pilgrim arrived at the monastery he
acquainted him and his monks with
what he had learned on the island.
“Thereupon the abbot returned thanks
to God and appointed ‘All Souls Day'
as a day to be kept forever after in
the monastery as an annual festival."
it Is Generally Oharrved.
No general edict making the day a
church festival is recorded. It seems
to have come Into general use only
through custom, spreading from the
monastery at Clugny. To-day It is gen
erally observed in all the Catholic
churches of the world with special
masses and prayers for the repose of
the souls of the dead.
Around All Souls Day legend has
also clustered, though not nearly so
many as around All Saints Day. Most
of the legends are of the ghostly kind
and it Is on this uight that the de
parted return to earth and visit again
the scenes of their earthly life. Per
haps the most famous of all the All
Souls Day legends Is the one concern
ing Kingston Bridge, famous In song
and story.
The legend took its birth In the sim
ple poetic minds of the Angles and
Saxons and among the Ignorant of
morrle England it Is still believed. It
is on this night, say the fireside tales,
that the souls come back and walk
backward and forward on Kingston
bridge. From the hour of 12 until the
crow of the cock the ghostly proces
sion continues, and those who have
the courage to go to the bridge cah
hold converse with those “gone before.”
No questions concerning the future life
are answered, the lips of the spirits
being tightly sealed on this point
alone.
MANY HUNTERS WENT OUT.
Quite a number of hunters went out
yesterday to shoot quail, which are
said to exist In large numbers around

When the kidneys are sick there is
always a warning to tell you of it, and
when the kidneys call for help there is
no tint* to lose. Kidney diseases are
common and fatal, cause more deaths
every year than any other human Ills.
But in nine cases out of ten this Is due
to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily
contracted, but Just as easily cured
when treated properly and in time.
Common causes of kidney troubles
are colds, fevers, exposure, strains on
the bark, blood poisoning diseases,
and indulgence in stimulants.
The kidheys are the blood filters and
When they become sick, the blood is
sOon laden with impurities, which the
klilnevs have failed to remove. This
causes backache, stiff, lame and sore
muscles, aching Joints, spells of dizzi
ness, hasdnehes, rheumatic pains,
sleeplessness, nervousness and lan
guor, weak heart and many other
bodily aches and Ills.
Meanwhile the kidneys are fast
