A Notable Amusement Event.
John Robinson's ever popular and
ever welcome shows come to us this
year with such important accessions
and argumentations as to over shadow
all contemporary amusement ventures.
They have uot only materially strength
ened their ring and hippodrome per
formances and largely added to their
already vast menagerie, but are produc
ing an adtonishing new feature, which
can but commend itself to all classes of
patrons. We allude to the grand bibli
cal ipectical of "Solomon, his temple
and the Queen of Sheba." Unerring in
historical accuracy, faithful in scenic
delineation, realistic in depiction of inci
dents and events, impressively grand in
pageantic effects, magnificent in cos
tumes and appointments, entrancing in
musical features. Switching in beauti
ful ballets and exciting in games and
chariot races, this unprecedently su
blime spectacle will commend itself to
every visitor. The show will exhibit at
Butler, Friday, May 30. *
Another Circus Coming
in speaking of the Rice, Cooper &
O'Brien shows to be at Butler next-
Tuesday and Wednesday May 27 and
28. It has been said in organizing this
exhibition for the tenting season the
management has been prompted with a
desire to present to the public patronage
a show that would have both the
characteristics of novelty and intrinsic
excellence, Thero has been too
great a similarity of exhibitions under
canvas, and amusement* patrons have
been called upon to pay for that which
they have seen so many times before.
The constant repetition has become
wearisome and monotonous, the same
stale jokes of the clown and the same
general circus.
From all this Rice. Cooper & O'Brien
have made an entirely new departure.
It is not onr purpose to enumerate our
, large and varied company and attrac
tions in this card. Visit this show.

Holocaust in Adams twp.
The homo of Wm Clark on the hill,
east of Mars was destroyed by fire, last
Saturda* noon, and his little grand
da lighter, child of Charles Ralston of
Bntler, and aged abont 2J years was
burned to death. The child ate her din
ner with the family and then went up
stairs: shortly after the mother heard
the child screamine and attempted to
run up the narrow stairway to her res
cue, but was driven back by flames;
men came and attempted to reach the
child from the windows but the whole
upper story of the house was then in
flames: an(l the child perished and was
burned so completely that no trace of
her could be found in the ruins. It is
supposed that the child found some
matches up stairs, and in playing with
them set herself on fire.
Wm. Clark, the grandfather, was
badly bnrned while attempting a rescue
and Mrs. Ralston had her face scorched
and hair burned off.

John F. Robinson, proprietor of the
great shows which is to exhibit at
Puller, Friday May 30.
In speaking of his many experiences
in his 40 years as a circus manager, re
lated to the editor the other day, the
following story:
"My brother Gil said he spent a
portion of last year in Africß aud while
there he bought a number of animals
for the show.
We agreed before he left this country
to use a certain cypher code should
we desire to communicate with one
another and we each had a copy of the
Code. Well, after Gil had been gone
about a month and I had forgotten all
about him I received a cablegram from
him which read, "Send me two musi
cians." What in the dnce does Gil
want with 'musicians' thought I. Per
baps be is figuring on starting a show
for the natives of Africa, but after
awhile I thought of our agreement with
reference to cypher codes, and on re
ferring to the copy I had at home I
found, a 'musician was one thousand
dollars, and Gil wanted two. Well 1
just sent him the following cablegram
"No musicians on hand, will a bas?
drummer do." "Bnt" he added, "Be
fore the snn set beneath the Western
horizon that day, 'Gil' who was thous
ands of miles from an acquaintance or a
friend, got the two "Musicians."

ACCIDENTS.
Floyd Clark, aged 22 years, a son of
John Clark of near Calleiy. was almost
instantly killed on the Winters far..:
near Eidenan, Monday morning. _ A
large log had been elevated on blocks,
and yonng Clark, at the time, was as
sisting at hewing it into a mud sill for
an oil well rig, when the log suddenly
fell upon him. crushing his chest,
shoulders and face, and causing his
death in a few minutes. He was a
cousin of the little Ralston girl who
was burned to death at his uncle Wil
liam's home near Mars.
The death list, as a result of the ex
plosions at Sheridau, reached the num
ber of twenty-four, yesterday. The
deaths of some of the school-children
who were standing watching the fire,
i hen the explosion occurred were very
pathetic.
At Coal Creek. Tenn.. Monday, an
explosion in a coal mine killed 170 men
and •'sl) boys.
Leislla Crawford, a little granddaugh
ter of H. W. Koonce, who was blind for
tive months during the winter with an
eye afliction, has recovered her sight.
Clarence Benigh, a Locust St. boy,
was accidertly cut in the side, Tuesdiv,
and blood-poisoning is feared.
Curt Hockenberry.a conductor on the
street cars, fell from a car on Main St ,
yesterday afternoon, and one foot went
under the wheels and was crush ?d. lie
was taken to the Hospital.
While riding his bicycle, Monday
evening. E I. Brough, came in collis
ion with another bin•*. and was thrown
heavily, breaking two ribs. He was
taken to the Hospital.
Letter to C E Miller.
Butler, Pa. .
Dear Sir: If you bnv paint by the
gallon, look out for short measure.
There are great businesses founded on
ten per cent short. It is queer that a
man or concern'll expose his or its
nakedness go; but he does, and it does.
Look ont
But that isn't all to look out for.
Some give full measure, and cheat in
the quality. What do you paint for,
the looks? or to keep your house from
rotting? of course.
A big hotel-man painted Devoe eight
years age; was going to paint it again
eight years is a good long time for a
hotel." yon know- struck a bargain:
saved five cents a gallon: and missed
Devoe.
Poor fellow! There isn't an oz. of lend
in his paint—we don't know how good
or bad it is; but there isn't any lead in
it.
Yours truly,
80 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

The John Robinson Shows.
The acme of scenic splendor was
reached when John Robinson produced
the great spectacle of Solomon, his tem
ple and the Queen of Sheba.
No court was greater in all that per
tained to magnificence than Solomon's
and as historically reproduced with
dozens of calcium and Vari-colored
lights on the brilliant costumes and
scintillating armor, it has received un
stinted praise from all who have been
fortunate enough to witness the grand
spectacle.
The circus has been characterized as
the most interesting in its unexception
al features and in the general excellence
of its ring performances. The menag
erie is large and comprehensive and in
cludes living specimens of the rarest
beasts, birds, reptiles and amphibi.
The colossal Roman hippodrome is
in itself a feature that has no duplica
tion and carries the spectator back to
Imperial Ca-sar's day.
The show will exhibit at Butler, Fri
day, May 30, Decoration Day.
