An Indiana man, who claimsi have voted for Andrew Jackson for President, is stni living at the age or 107. It is hoped he will be given another chance to vote for another Democrat in 1910. A Western jury has found the man who killed an umpire guilty of murder. In most cases, however, a verdict of justifiable homicide would be more ap propriate. A more or less competent authority once said that Lexington, Ky., was the second city in wickedness in the United Slates, Norfolk, Va , being given first place. The statement is recalled by the news that there were some fifty ar rests in Lexington for the 24 hours ending at midnight Sunday. The charg es ran from drunkenness to bigamy. Is our sister city training for first place In infamy?

Of the many stunts performed by the Sparks Circus herd of elephants the one that probably gets the most appreciation is the game of base ball played by these mighty and unwieldy pachaderms. Ev ery play is gone through with in the most ludicrous manner, an the laughs furnished by this number will remain as a pleasant reniembronce of the cir cus. All the accessories pitcher, batter, catcher, umpire, fielders and their gloves masks, bats and uniforms are present, and "Big Mary" in the role of batter seldom misses a home-run swat, and has thus established a 400 mark batting rec ord for herself. Running the bases and the slide to home plate never fail to bring forth rounds of applause and laughter from the audience. Another funny situation is when the pitcher has two strikes on "Big Mary," he and the catcher get into an animated argument over the next ball to be served by the pitcher and trumpet into each other's ears. This little piece of by-play al ways meets with the instant approval of the audience and adds greatly to the already funny number. This act was presented to New York, City's delighted millions last winter and came in for more favorable newspaper comments than any animal act seen there in re cent years. This feature is positively on the program of the Sparks World Fa mous Shows, which are billed to exhibit here Saturday, September 0th.
