So .pray for the voice too, on Hallowe'en. The circus is. coming. And of course people will recall the time when a cer tain well-known young business man. who had Just arrived in the town, atood i front of the Buford Hotel watching' a minstrel not a circus parade, ami when It ha4 all passed, complained that he had seen no elephant. "I remember standing watching a cir cus parade last year," said the gentle-J man yeoieraay. -ana next to me was u well-known minister. I asked him if he waa going to see the clrclus, and he told me, with a sort of sadness in his voice, that he was not. What is the difference, I asked, in seeing this par ade and seeing the show Itself? He looked at me steadily for a moment and tnen said wearily, 'Cost 60 ents, I 'suppose.' " "A woman never forgets a man who has loved her," said some one. "Wheth er she haa cared about him or not, she always has a tenderness for his mer cy." "That's not strange," said . the cynic. "She only pays tribute to what she considers was remarkably good judgment on the man's part." And the Incident had to be closed, tlKCt'S CROWTTS.

Circa clowns of the days of .our fathers and clowns of the present day are entirely different, according to Danny Ryan.' deadlng Jester- of the Forepaugh-Sells circus. The enlarge ment of the circuses and the demands of the-publio haa necessitated a new auhooi of whiter-faced foola. In a recent- Interview, Ryan said; "ilowni of the present , three-ring circuses are no more like , the ones of the old one-ting kind than day is ike night It used to he when Dan Rice waa It, and ; the " other comed ians of the saw dust ring were at the height of their reputatlon-that one Clown was considered enough. He was a large part of the shew.: and worked with the ring master, and at time the pertormanca would stop to give him the opportunity to spring his gags and sing his Bongs, when everybody would listen to him. Dan Rice waa a wit as well as a poet, and his verees and jokes were treasured and repeated over and over again by those who saw and heard him. Imagine a big show like this now suspending all its acts, - Just so the people could listen to me sing: Oh, Fred, tell them to stop That was the ry of Maria But the more she said 'Oh' They said, "Let her go, And the swing went u little hit higher. or 'grandfather's clock, Or womethlng of the Bort. ' It used to be the case that the clown appealed not only to the, eye of the audience, but the ear also. Nowadays on account of the vast amount of space covered by the three rings, the stage, the outer ring, and the other accessor ies of the big ahows, the clowns have time to do nothing more than! catch the eye alone. In the first place, II would take a powerful voice to reach even a small portion or tne vast au diences which fill the ctrcus enclosure. and then again the public would not stand for It. What circus audiences want nowa days is action, action all the time. The more the clown falls down and tumbles j over himself and his fellows and slams around generally, the better the public is pleased. ' j ..all BAPrry day exercises.

Tre Second church took a collection for this purpose yesterday and raised over $800, and the rest will be forth coming. The faculty of the Charlotte branch of the North Carolina Medical College will give their services without charge to charity patients. This hospital is a most worthy in stitution and la doing a great deal of good. Patients who are unable to pay the fees" will receive every attention, will be clothed and fed, nursed and physicked without distinction from the others, The loyalty of these churches Is gratifying and their ac tion is a fine example of practical Christianity.
