"It was a close shave," Kelly  afterward, "hut I've met with many of them in the years that I've been in the balloon business, so that now I'm sort of getting used to It." The parchute fell on the rail and Kelly clambered down from the tree. The thousands of spectators in the park, not to mention the hundreds that lined the hills and swarmed every point of vantagfe, felt the chiW for a moment when a gust of wind suddenly took Kelly and his parachute within striking distance of the deadly third rail on the Laurel line.

The advantage which the association camp has is that a corps of train-1 ed men have the running of the camp in charge, who are making every effort to maintain ideal conditions for the healthful recreation of the l>oy. That ,these camps have grown greatly in popularity is attested to by the record attendance. Uast year the younger boys' camp had 7(J at the encampment. Plans under way will make the best camp ever held by the association and a banner crowd is expected. Following the custom o fthe past lour years the DuBois, Clearfield anu Punxsutawney Y. M. C.

The acting Polar bears, the llonn 'and lambs, and a family of lions and tigers trained by a young woman are features of the trained wild animal exhibit whlc is given in a steel arena In plain view of the audience. Warren Travis, who allows an auto to pass over his body, Mons. Togos, who turns a somersault on the tight wire, the John Robinson acting elephants with the huge monster that actually plays a piano, as well as*the Flying Lemomas, the JJningers, the famous Waltons and the Six I3eroiians, are among the circus features. "The Dive of Death" in which intrepid young woman dives headlong from the dome of the tent to a chute, landing on her bare chest and sliding to the ground is one of the thrillers new this season. A series of free attractions directly after the parade and again in the evening is a novelty this year with the Robinson circus, and the band concert and clowns' carnival of fun, given while the audience is being seated, is a new departure in circus annals. Ample opportunity is given before each performance to examine all the rare animals in the menagerie and zoo, while the animals are all fed after the matinee, those who so desire being invited to attend. The doors to the afternoon performance were opened at 1 o'clock, but before that time the various villages with the circus were opened as well as the free horse fair. The horses carried with the circus are in excellent condition, and contain some of the tinest specimens ever sen in this part of the State. This morning the principal feature was the circus parade. Pretty women, floats, wagons, open dens of wild animals, funny clowns, well groomed horses and riders, were all in line, while the wild west department was represented by tribes of Indians, cowboys, cowgirls, Mexicans, ropers, ex-United Staes soldiers, and Far Bast natives. The old stage coach, the pony express, and the despised horse-thief were in line as well as the dens of trained wild animals together with their keepers and grooms. The tented city on the show grounds was soon erected, and breakfast was served the hungry employes. The spread of canvas occupied much space,«and the general appearance of the show classed it ;w> one of the largest that Punxsutawney has had in a number of years. Because it is the largest circus that the city will have this year, more than ordinary interest Is given its appearance here. Anyway everybody, young and old, feels their blood How quicker atyO an indescribable something thai, pervades the air on circus day. / Three long trails of double.tlrcus cars 011 which thrfjohn KobjJlson circus travels, stojv into Ji6wn early thus morning aid as Ufe cars were properly sldctn/ked.

John Robinson's circus is hero. A street parade was the morning feature, and two performances will be given in I'unxsutawney, one in the afternoon and the other at night. WANT TO GIVE WAR CRYS TO PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL In his testimony Mr. Earlo said that the trust hnd paid $375,000 to him and surrendered bonds and collateral for additional sums. The trust closed the Pennsylvania Refining Company after getting control of It, and thus violated the Sherman law, he said. While Mr. Earle hardly made a fair beginning of Ihe great story he is prepared to tell, which he says Will show some ef the ways the Sugar Trust violated the law, he attacked the Department of Justice and the Roosevelt Administration, declaring that the same court Roosevelt had characterized as "fossilized" had rendered a decision which stood against the Standard Oil Company, and had granted a new trial in his .case against the American Sugar Refining Company, which led to a settlement. Mr. Earle displayed great animosity, and declared that as President Colonel Roosevelt had not given out all of their correspondence to the Senate relative to proceedings Mr. Earle had proposed to him as receiver for the Real Estate Trust Company. He presented two letters which were omitted from the report President Roosevelt sent to the Senate, and said that he had had many more, but they had been lost. Mr. Earle declared that Colonel Roosevelt had lost "his preference for large game" because of the failure of the (joverninent to prosecute former heads of the American Sugar Refining Company for the wrecking of the Real Estate Trust Company, of Philadelphia, in the famous deal in l!)0t>. WASHINGTON, June 2!».—George H.
