BARNUM AND BAILEY
COSTS LARGE AMOUNT
Over Thousand People In
Their Employ and It
Costs Eight Thousand
Dollars a Day For Ex
penses.
Statistical data regarding the great
American amusement forms an inter
esting subject. The Barnum and
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, which
visits Augusta next Monday, ig now
in the fifty-fifth year of its existence.
The proof that it has kept faith w'ith
the public is evidenced by the fact
that it occupies the proud position of
being i n every way America’s most
colossal amusement enterprise, repre
senting an actual investment of $4,-
500,000. The average dally running ex
penses reach SB,OOO. One item alone
will give the reader some idea of the
vastness of the proposition. In the
kitchen tent and canvas dining hall,
food is prepared and served to 1,100
people three times each day. There
are more than 400 performers. The
500 beautiful horses require the at
tention of 150 grooms, hostlers, etc.
A complete blacksmith shop, a wag
on factory, a gas manufacturing out
fit —in fast all the of a
Small sized city are nfecessary for the
successful maintenance of this mon
ster show.
There are twenty-eight distinct
tents in the city of canvas erected
each day for the temporary home of
the circus. The most interesting of
these is probably the three large sta
bles, veritable models of equine lux
ury.
The zoological collection includes
five herds of elephants, four droves of
camels, the world’s rarest and most
costly collection of giraffes, hippopota
mi, rnlnoceros’, more than one hun
dred dens of wild beasts and a group
of zebras.
In the arenlc tent, where the per
formances are given, are three cir
cus rings, two large stage platforms,
an Immense hippodrome oval, innum
erable aerial contrivances, and seat
ing capacity for 15,000 spectators.
To transport the paraphernalia of
this world of entertaining merriment
requires the railway equipment of five
full length trains, \1 of which Is the
property of the Barnum and Bailey
management, railway companies fur
nishing only the engines and tenders.
One of the most interesting feat
ures of circus day is the unloading
and re-loading of these trains. It is
then that the observer gets some
idea of the immensity of the under
taking. This Herculean task requires
the services of two hundred men and
fifty especially trained horses. The
work must bo accomplished with the
utmost care and circumspection. The
slightest detail requires diligent at
tention. all this in guarding against
possible accidents. Then too speed
is an essential part of loading, for
the first section must pull out of the
railway station at midnight, to be fol
lowed at Intervals of thirty minutes
by the other sections; and when the
last train has departed, circus day in
that particular city is over for. the
year.

ROLLER SKATING
RAGES IN PARIS
French Capital Has
Caught the Fever. Guitry
Will Play Chanticleer.
(BY HERBERT TEMPLE.)
PARlS.—Paris has at least been
introduced to roller skating, and the
new American rink was opened last
night at the Hippodrome. It will
prove, no doubt, a dangerous rival to
the Palais de tJJwre, a real Ice rink,
which has long held sway in the
Champs Elysees. This is one of the
smartest places In town, and during
the season the costumes worn by the
elegant "patineuses” represent the
last world In fashion.
Skaflng is not in any sense a wide
ly practiced sport in France, for the
reason that the winters are rarely
severe enough to allow of a continu
ance oT Ice, but those who do skate
generally skate extremely well.
Both In Parts anti ?Tlce, where the
rink is under the .same auspices,
beautiful exhibitions of the art are
Seen. It is quite possible that
Parisians will take keenly to the new
roller skating, which has had such an
extraordinary vogue in England. For
the moment, at any rate, It looks ns
If It will be taken up with enthusi
asm.
A New Chantecler.
A step forward has been made
with M. Edmond Rostand's much
discussed play, "Chantecler,” the pro
duction of which was postponed ow
ing to the death of Coqueltn. The
trouble heretofore has been to dlnii
a successor to Coquelln in 'the title
role. M. Rostand and the manager
of the Pdrte Saint Martin Theatre
were at their wits’ end, and at one
time It seemed probable that the pro
duction of the piece would be inde
finitely postponed.
But that fine actor, Imcien Guitry,
was requisitioned tar the part, and
Rostand went to his retreat at Cam
bo with an easy mind. Since then
he has been employed in polishing his
manuscript, and now the piece is
actually in rehearsal. M. Rostand
Is expected to return to the city
shortly. TTe will watch the re
hearsals with a Jealous eye, for he
wants to malre ttie *Y7hftnteeler” the
greatest success he has yet achieved.
The first performance Of the play
will take place In November; but the
actual date has not yet been fixed.
No Information about the piece will
be given until the date of the "repe
tition generale” dress rehearsal is an
nounced. It Is Btated that the ad
vance sale of the first performance
amounts to $6,000, and tiiat the price
of orchestra seats will be S2O.
The School Fight. 1
The education question Jiaa been
brought to a head by the manifesto
of the French Episcopate addressed
to the country. The elghty-nlne car
dinals, archbishops, and bishops
have unanimously appended their
signatures to a document that not
only cuts at tho root of the present
system of secular education In
France, but condemns, nornlnatim, a
series of historical text-books used
at the state schools. A witty writer
recently defined the French school as
a "mill” where the children of Chris
tians were turned into renegades.
That Is tiie view of the bishops, and
they declare that they are prepared
to "suffer all things” rather than let
this state of affairs last. If their
declaration Is met with indifference,
they will place the schools under an
interdict, the effects of which step
would he to deprive all recalcitrant
parents of the succors of religion.
Since the Separation, communes
here and there have been placed un
der interdict, but not for long, for
the municipal authorities, worked
upon by the peasants, have always
given way. The two educational
hills now before the chamber, pre
sented by Al. Doumerque, were real-

Thieves in French Army.
By a false humanitariam, the
French army stands In the way of be
ing demoralized. As everyone knows,
every Frenchman has to do two
years' military service. There hap
pen to be in France, as In every
country, thieves, rogues and vaga
bond.s Conscripts of this clas3
used to be packed off to Africa, but
during the last few years they have
drafted Into the home regiments.
They number about 10,000 Individ
uals, all of them with condemnations
under the common law.
High military authorities are con
vinced that much of the espionage
that goes on, as well as the dlsap
peaarnce of documents and arms, and
the development of the spirit of re
volt, owe their source to these men.
It may also lie added that respectable
soldiers are loud In their complaints
of the contact to which they are
forced to submit.
