Large List of Up-to-Date Attrac- tions, the Whole Making an Entertainment Well Worth Seeing ‘The Amezican Carival of Amusement, uader the auspices of the Sayre Fire Department, start®d off last night in full blast, and although lowering clouds threaten- ed torrepts of rain at any moment, by nine o'clock there were ‘fully onc thousand men, women and children on the grounds. The show is all that it has been repre- sented, and from the manner in which the various attractions were patronized last night, the local fire- men and the management of the carnival will add substantial sums to their respective treasuries. . _ There is along list of paid at- tractions, to say nothing of those which are free and alone well worth secing. Phil Hamburg's “Disaster &f San Francisco} and museum of art 5 ‘the first big show that at- tracts the attention of the visitdr, Here a bevy of decidedly pretty girls warble sweet songs and exe- cute pretty dances, the show con- cludipg with vivid illustrations of the greatest calamity of modern times.

The electric theatre and moving pictures” furnished fine entertain~ ment for hundreds of patrons. The great horse thief picture and the Giant’s Causeway are particularly good.

Hosmer’s band of Athens fur. nishes the music, and the whole attraction is well worth seeing. There is an entire absence of fakirs and the exhibition is strictly legitimate. If the weather is fine this evening the grounds will be packed with humanity. a m— neers sits WILBUR HOUSE MAY CHANGE HANDS Parties Here Today Negotiating for the Management of That Popular Hostelry David J.

HORSE WAS FRIGHTENED A spirited horse attached to a buggy became frightened on Des- mond ‘street yesterday afternoon and for a moment made things lively for the pedestrians on that thoro .. The animal sprang to the sidewalk, threw the driver to the pavement, and at one time it looked as if the thoroughly scared equine would jump through a plate glass window, The driver who was injured, succeeded in quieting the animal before any damage re sulted.

U. | Twenty years ago the first medal contest was held in New York city, | the first having a distinctive cduca- tional feature. W. J. Demorest in- stituted these contests in oratory for the sole purpose of disseminat- ing temperance truths, and the value of total abstinence for the in- dividual. He believed that tem. perance truths could be presented in attractive guise to large audi- ences. He gave the medals free to any one, who would drill a class, using temperance recitations, ap- proved by him, providing there was no admission charged or col lection taken. When this was done the medal must be paid for. Dur- ing Mr. Demorest’s life he gave away more than 24000 medals which cost him more than $8; 5,000, The Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union was not slow to recog~ nize the educational value of this work aad soon it was adopted by them as a department of work, and Mrs. Demorest, after his death, bes came world’s superintendent, a place she filled until released’ by death, There is to be a medal contest in the Church of Christ next Mon. day evening, July 16, The cons testants are from East Athens, all young ladies. Two medals have recently been given there and they have been invited to come to West Sayre and recite again. There will be no admission but a collection will be taken to pay expenses as we have no Mr. Demorest to fur- nish them. Itis hoped they will be encouraged with a full house, Come out and hear them and help a good cause along. BOLD HICHWAYNAN - CAUGHT AT TOWANDA Snatched a Man's Watch and Was Later Found Hiding in a Cellar Frank” McMahon of Bingham: ton went to Towanda yesterday and had been in town only a few minutes when he fell into the hands of the police. He is now languish ing in the county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of robbery from the person, preferred by Charles Stark. McMahon is a husky specimen, weighing close to 200 pounds, but while the hearing was in progress he blubbered like a baby. Mc- Mahon had been to Stark's home where he had been. refused some thing to eat. When he came out of the house he met Stark who had been standing near the house. He reached under Stark’s arm and snatched his watch from his pocket. He ran toward the river, and would have made good his es- cape had not some small boys seen him dive into a subcellar, Officer Hollon found McMahon in the cel- lar and placed him under arrest. Justice Orcott held him without bail on the charge of robbery from the person. CHPSIES AT ITHACA The band of gypsies which were recently driven out of Sayre, “touched up” several Ithaca people for handsome sums. The police, however, compelled them to move out of the city, but it’ was like, unto the fellow who locked his barn door after his horse had been stolen. In Sayre they were made to move on before they had an op- portunity to unload. They are a bad bunch, and the women are said £ to be the slickest swindlers that ever visited this section of the country. i | i 1 Fs = age - “Oriental Dancers” Should “ Skidoo " There is one feature at the street carnival which is exhibiting on the should be told to “skidoo.” The “Moorish Theatre” and accompanied by their husbands,” ashamed of themselves as they exhibition had closed A “barker” with a big voice stands on a platform oytside the teat between two gaudily bedecked specimens of the female gender, whose good looks, if they ever had any, have long since faded away, proclaiming that these two “fair” gazelles have danced in the White House when the Hon. Grover Cleveland was chief cook and bot- tle washer at the national man- sion. Grover may have been guilty of some indiscretions, but if he ever submitted to a perpetration of that character he is richly deserv ing of all the uncomplimentary things that his enemies- have said of him. But on the inside of the tent is where the real goods is to be found. “Princess Lambelle” and “Odalesques,” and another female “artist” execute a dance that is said by those who saw it last night to be way past the limit. “Princess Lambelle,” however, is not a wom an; the “Princess” is a man, or rather “she” is said to make pre- tentions of that sort. Last night the “Princess” was forced to appear looking like a California road agent, He reminded one of the days of Dick Turpin and Claude Duval. Earlier in the evening the “princess” disputed with an attache of the carnival over a cup of black coffee. They mixed up some, and the “princess” came out of the argument wearing a beautifully decorated optic, and as the man- agement of the “Moorish Theatre” is long on unadulterated nerve, but short om grease paint, the “prins cess” was forced to cover up his discolored lamp with a garment that looked as if it had once been a kitchen mechanic's apron. The “princess” and his female companions, however, furnished an entertainment for their male audit- ors that was simply immense, but when the bunch got outside the tent and began to realize what had taken place, they colored up like bashful school children, and van- ished quickly.
