ROMAN TOP I COMING HERE has I tftclt IS OF ESPIONAGE Leipsic, Germany, July 6 -Leopold Eilers, a native of the German island of Helgoland, but a naturalized citizen of the United States, was sentenced today by the imperial supreme court to four years in a penitentiary and six loss of civil rights on a charge of espionage.

Leipsic, Germany, July trial of Leopold Eilers, a native of the island of Heligoland, began today before the imperial supreme court here. The president of the court decides, behind closed doors, the charge against EilerB, which is one of espionage in the Rhine district. Only the reading of the verdict will occur in public sessions. Eilers is 32 years and a farmhand. He resided in America from 1902 to 1909, the latter part of the time in New Orleans, where he married an American wife, Mathilda Dittmar, who has since died.

Carlos Caesaro, known In Europe us "The Human because of his remarkable circumambulattons in the circus ring, has been engaged by the Ringling Brothers as one of their top- llners for this season. Caesaro balances a steel plate on his head.

A 200-pound man mounts the plate which Is then set at the alarming rate of 300 revolutions per minute. Another thriller with the show, the beauty of which Is inspiring, Is known aH the "Human Butterfly Act." It Is a sensation of French origination and is presented by the famous Ty- Bell sisters. Holding by the teeth to almost invisible strands of steel the young women are lifted to the dome of the tent and there by means of hidden mechanim are made to circle, dart and fly through space with the grace of birds while multi-colored spot lights are directed upon their flowing robes. The act Is the most beautiiul conception of a French spec- bullder. Aside from its beauty it is dangerous enough to be intensely exciting.

The show this season is an organization of headliners. Among the aer- iallsts are the famous Klarkonlans, the greatest trapeze artists in the world; the Aerial Wards, and the Richards bisters Principal amoug the riders are the Rooney family, the best of the world's equestrians; the Clark family, Hodgini, the original; the remarkable Costello family, and Dene Curtis. Foremost among the acrobats and gymnasts are Mljarez. wizard of the tight-wire; the Castrll- lon and the Florenze families, the Alpine troupe and the Franks, the great La Fayette, the Four Roeders, the Minerva family, the Hinze-Klmball troupe and Joseph La Felur who a dangerous backward dive from the top of a high ladder The trained animals are especially attractive. There are two troupes of trained seals and seallons, new to this country, the peerless Schuman horses the Teximeter mules and three new herds of trained elephants.

In addition there are educated ponies, bears, pigs and zebras. Those who go to a circus to laugh will be kept busy by the fifty funniest clowns in the world, and those who find their pleasure in the meuagerie observe many animals they have never seen before. The morning parade Is a marvel of beauty and novelty aud is three miles in length. Of quite as much Interest as the circus itself is the new spectacle which begins the regular performance. Nothing like it was ever seen in this country.

The subject of the spectacle, "Joan of Arc," is one that is familiar to everyone. Historical facts have been adhered to and the production Is mounted superbly.
