Largest Brewery in the' World HORLACHER BOTTLING Wholesale "Dealer, Allentown. Orders promptly THE GREAT SHOW WAS HERE. Continued from First Page. the newspaper offices announcing the fact, but the crowds remained just the same and it was afternoon before the people left for their homes. All were accompanied by children who felt the disappointment more than the older persons.

Announcements were also posted along Hamilton street stating that there be an afternoon performance at 2 o'clock, but by noon it was evident the management could not get up the tents in time and the afternoon performance was abandoned. One performance will be given in this city and that will be to-night. The management of the circus is determined to get away in good time to-morrow morning and give two performances at Easton. All sorts of rumors were afloat yesterday concerning the show. One was that no exhibition was given in Wilkes-Barre and that the circus would arrive at Allentown between 4 and 5 o'clock last evening.

The rumors reached Easton and inquries were made from that place as to the truth of them. The show gave two performances at WilkesBarre yesterday which were attended by 30,000. No trouble was experienced with the help, the show having received a supply of men at Scranton. Hundreds of men and boys lined up the Central tracks about the Gordon street station this morning where the trains were side-tracked and the cars unloaded. By 9 o'clock the crowd had swelled to 1,000 people.

As the wagons were unloaded from the cars the horses were attached and driven up Gordon street to the Fair Grounds, where the tents are erected for the exhibition. The i Central officials had a trained lot of men assigned to the work of handling the cars. Immense teams were hauled to the grounds by horses numbering from eight to sixteen on each team and crowds of people lined the street to view the wagons as they passed. The mess tents, menagerie tent and tents for horses, were the first to be erected. The tent under which the performance will be given is probably the largest ever pitched for a circus performance.

In round numbers it will seat 15,000 people. The immensity of the seating capacity is impressed upon one who stands on one of the upper tiers of the bleachers, and views the seats beneath him. An innovation, which is likely to meet approval, is the use of opera chairs for reserved seats. There are exactly 914 persons on the list fed in Barnum Bailey's cook tent, which is 75 or 80 short of the whole number employed, exclusive of 100 to 125 bill posters. It is said that the show sometimes enters a village where the number of inhabitants is not many times greater than the total number of employes of the big circus.

Needless to say, the problem of feeding the vast army of men is a great one. It has been solved by a very carefully planned scheme which in Europe attracted the attention, it is said, of certain army officers. The manager and officers of the company line within the same enclosure as the laborers. The only difference is that Mr. Bailey's table is covered with a white cloth.

his china decorated and of a finer quality, his waiter perhaps a little more attentive, and his bill of fare slightly more varied. But he needs not to turn his head to see hundreds of hungry canvasmen eating their meat, coffee and rice pudding with a relish. For Mr. Bailey, as for the men, the food is plain, substantial and well cooked. The greatest care is exercised that it shall be healthful.

The men are fed a diet calculated to stand them in good stead during long hours of hard manual labor. Rice, which is the principal article, of diet of the Chinese coolies, who work long hours seven days in a week, at the severest kind of manual labor, is served to the circus men in puddings and other preparations. Large quantities are used of this food, which was recently pronounced by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the United States government chemist, to be one of the best for men engaged in hard manual labor.

The men eat meat two or three times a day, and consume many barrels of vegetables. Pastry is rarely given them to eat. It may be stated that the men are better fed than the ordinary laboring man. Mr. Bailey is handed a piece of paper with four or five items scribbled on it, such as cold roast beef, pickled pigs' feet, beef a la mode, macaroni and cream potatoes.

Of them with coffee, bread and butter, and some healthful dessert, such as prunes, he makes Mourn not Columbia's martyr dead; They sleep, they rest, no more in dread Of trumpet call or battle cryWeep not; it is not death to die. Asleep! for still live anew In hearts of freemen. They who knew How slavery's yoke had bowed them low, Their gratitude to-day would show. IV. Then scatter we these garlands fair And bright, upon this day.

And e'er We'll pray that God may bless the brave Who slumber in the quiet grave. "AMERICA, FAIR COUNTRY." I. America, fair country, Light of this darksome earth; May God defend and keep thee Long shall thy flag float o'er us, From me evil, war and dearth. And wave from every height, While He, in loving kindness, Protects thee with His might. IL.

War's tumult now is silent, Heaven's peace is all around; Let requiems be chanted, And praise to God resound. The dead are here among us, Yet God forever lives; He, life, with joy and blessing, Unto his children gives. III. All hail, thou land of freedom; And freedom's flag, all hail! On northern heights wave proudly, And float in southern gale. But ever may love's banner In triumph float above; Then will He e'er protect us From ill-for God is Love.

Who Took the Horse? The Easton of Tuesday has the following: Last night two men who registered as Charles DeLong, of Boyertown, and Oliver Reinhard, of Allentown, put up at the Hotel Broadway. At about 8 o'clock this morning they went to the private stable of A. A. Oberholtzer, joining the Hotel Broadway stabies, and securing possession of Mr. berholtzer's horse, "David Harrum," drove away with it.

Mr. Oberholtzer's grandson, a boy named Letson, was in charge of the horse at the time and did all in his power to prevent the men from taking it, but they shook him off and succeeded in driving away. As soon as he was informed of his loss Mr. Oberholtzer went to the office of 'Squire Buzzard, entered complaint against both men and had a warrant issued fur their arrest, but by this time they were miles away, and will no doubt keep out of the clutches of the law for a time at least. The horse, which was a valuable animal, said to be worth between $700 and $800, was purchased by Mr.

Oberholtzer about two months ago at a sale in Allentown. There had been litigation between previous owners of the animal, several parties claiming possession, and the men who got away with it this morning took that means of securing control. It was a highhanded proceeding and will no doubt cause trouble to the perpetrators, as Mr. Oberholtzer is not the man to submit quietly to such outrageous treatment. OWEN ROBERTS KILLED.

Was Well Known Throughout the Lehigh Valley. At Harrisburg last week, while overseeing work on the new State Capitol, Owen Roberts, formerly of Bethlehem, and well-known throughout the Lehigh Valley as a singer, was accidentally 1, killed by a falling tile which struck him on the head. For many years Mr. Roberts was a member of the choir of the First Presbyterian Church, at Bethlehem. He had a remarkable tenor voice.

Up to the time of his death he was leader of Slatington's Welsh choir, which took part in several eisteddfods, winning many prizes. Mr. Roberts was widely known among the Masonic fraternity and also among musicians, and was born in Weanfawr, Wales, in 1855. When 22 years old he came to this country and made his home at Bethlehem. A few years later he went to Philadelphia and became foreman for Contractor George F.

Payne. Later he became superintendent of construction for Architect Howard Trumbauer. Mr. Roberts was a member of a number of Masonic organizations and of the Orpheus Singing Club. He sang in the choir of the Memorial Baptist Church, Broad and Master streets, Philadelphia, and formerly in the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church.

He was a member of the North Presbyterian Church, Broad street and Allegheny avenue. In 1876 Mr. Roberts was married to Miss Fannie Lane, in England. An Unpleasant Experience, Thomas Weiss, and Frank J. Meyers, while speeding in the latter's automobile between Laury's and Cherry Ford at a rate of fifteen miles an hour had an unpleasant experience.

The weight of the machine, 650 pounds, broke a plank of a culvert bridge they were crossing and the front wheels sank between the planks. The rear wheels rose over three feet in the air and the sudden stop threw Mr. Weiss into the road. Mr. Meyers was pinned fast by the steering bar and helpless.

The tilted machine was under full power, the rear wheels running at a 40-mile-an-hour clip. After much diffculty Mr. Meyers was released. He was badly bruised about the chest and left arm. Temporary repairs were made at a nearby blacksmith shop and the trip was resumed.

The damaged machine will require an overhauling. The Lehigh Commencement, The commencement exercises of Lehigh University will begin on Sunday, June 14. with the baccalaureate sermon at 11 o'clock in the morning by the Rt. Hoppy One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, hour each of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed.

With well medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance has of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, long resort to oils, salts, yet extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics been known, until within recent years it was necessary to which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered principally of ebtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presentiag them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form acceptable to the system and the remedy became known asmost Syrup of Figs--as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excallent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the of laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses best and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discontinued when it no longer required. 0 All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians parents well-informed and recommend and use and which they and their little ones approve alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects.

Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the the regular name price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having of the remedy Syrup of Figs- -and the full name of the CompanyCalifornia Fig Syrup on the front of every package.

Cleanliness is scrupulously observed in the service. The waiters are in neat uniforms, with white caps, and the men at the serving counter wear snowy white coats and caps, much like bakers. The ranges for cooking the food are built it on great wagons, which stand outside the dining tent. The huge tents are well lighted at night by Ernst electric lights, so that there is not a dark or glowing spot anywhere about the tents. The circus carries with it is own electric plant.

Its modern and complete arrangements are the most wonderful part of the exhibition. The 480 horses of the circus are not led to water, the water is taken to them in a big water wagon, much like an oil-tank car. The circus is owned by a company incorporated in England at half a million dollars. Mr. Bailey is president and the largest stockholder.

The performance given last night met every expectation. The tent was brilliantly lighted by electricity, and there were footrests attached to every seat. The same startling program presented in Europe and whien Americans are so proud of was givtn. New attractions were seen in nearly all the rings. The show is superb.

There are nearly 100 acts of all kinds, among them one grand horse act where nearly 100 of the noble animals are in three ring at one time, three herds of elephants are in three rings at one time, while as many as a dozen acts are going on simultaneously. There are three rings, three stages, a race track an aerial enclave, and a vaudeville entertainment in the menagerie pavillion, where there were also scores of special performers in characteristic exhibitions. There were also two menageries, all the champion riders of the world, the best acrobats, aerialists, tumblers, leapers, etc. The show is so large, in fact, that one can not conceive of any further expansion before the point of unwieldiness is reached. There are swarms of performers of all kinds and few of them are ordinary, Acts that standing alone would excite the liveliest attention are almost overlooked amid the multitude of offerings and the quick move of events The menagerie is unusually well stocked with rare and curious animals.

two of the most noted being the giraffes recently secured. This animal is now almost extinct, and so far as is known only four others are now on exhibition. There is an immense herd of elephants, lions, leopards, tigers, camels, zebras, buffaloes, and all the other familiar types seen in like exhibitions. In the menagerie tent are also exhibited a number of freaks usually seen in a side show. There is the Hovart family of lilliputians, Eli Bowen, the legleess acrobat; Charles Tripp, an armless men who works wonders with his feet; the human pincushion, on al.

bino, an elastic skin man, a needle eater, Beautiful Marie who weighs 517 pounds, the truthful lecturer assures the public; a tattooed man and WOman, a leopard girl a lion-faced boy, a moss-haired woman, a living skeleton, and a negra who is said to be the only survivor of the Martinigue horror. The performance in the main tent has everything conceivable in the way of acrobatic and equestrian acts and feats by trained animals. The most noteworthy of the host of high-class acts was the extremely sensational trapeze work of the two Clark. onians who performed some marve lous feats in mid-air and the bicycle riding of Cyclo, who performed in a perpendicular cycle whirl, apparently defying all laws of gravitation. The performance opened with a bril liant Kiralfy spectacle, "The Tribute of Balkis," in which over 500 persons participated.

It is a gorgeous pageant. As a concluding feature there were the usual races. Hymns for Memorial Day. The following is the text of the hymns to be rendered by the choir at the Memorial Day exercises on Union Cemetery. They were composed by Robert R.

Fritch of the High School. The first is adapted to the tune of "Asleep in Jesus," while the second is adapted to "Jerusalem, the Golden." "MOURN NOT COLUMBIA'S HEROES SLAIN." I.
