BIG CIRCUS AT COLUMBIA.
Bornum a.id Bailey to Exhibit There
On Saturday, Oct. 30.
The Barnum A Bailey greatest
show on earth Is to visit Columbia on
Saturday. Oct. 30th.
Never since the beginning of time
has an amusement enterprise so tre?
mendous in size been organized at
this one. Its magnitude is almost be?
yond belief. All America, together
with every foreign country, has been
scoured from end to end by agents of
this big show in search of novelties
and the result is a performance brim
full of sensational acts new to the cir?
cus world. In the big Barnum &
Bailey show are nearly 400 arenlc
stars, most of whom are seen now for
the first time. A new sensation will
be seen at every performance in
"Jupiter, the balloon horse." This re?
markable animal with Its fearless rid?
er ascends to the dome of the circus
tent in a ISJlloon and descends to the
ground in a shower of fireworks.
Nearly 1.000 animal wonders are to
be found in the big 108 cage menag?
erie, 8 herds of elephants, including
one herd that actually plays upon
musical instruments in time and tune.
A group of giant giraffes, monster
trained hippopotamus, only living
bl horned rhinoceros and hundreds of
other strange beasts. Barnum A
Bailey's big, new, free street parade is
the most gorgeous processional dis?
play ever attempted In the history of
circus business. Its tremendous size
and wonderful length can only be be?
lieved in the actual seeing. It is nat?
ural to expect this big circus to lead
all others in quality and quantity of
Its street spectacle as well as In other
departments of the big show, yet nev?
er In its splendid history of nearly
half a century has it displayed such
extravagance as is shown this year.

6AYN0R SCORES HEARST.
CHARGES INDEPENDENT NOMI?
NEE WITH BREACH OF FAITH.
Democratttc Leader in Mayoralty Race
Reiterates His Statement That
Hearst Had Promised to Support
Him.
New York, Oct. 10.?In a statement
full u sting and bite, yet devoid of
Invective, vVm. J. Gaynor, the Demo?
cratic nominee for mayor of Greater
New York, fired his first big projec?
tile of the municipal campaign to?
night in an attack on Win. Randolph
Hearst.
Early last week Mr. Hearst issued
a statement saying positively that he
, would not run for mayor, but would
1 support Justice Gaynor. Two days
Ilater he accepted an Ind pendent
nomination for the ohTce
Surprised at this action. Justice
Gaynor issued a brief tatement,
charging Hearst with breach of faith,
'and tonight he came out with a state?
ment and a letter, purporting to show
that Hearst had urged him to run for
mayor nearly six months ago "on
any ticket," and pledging bis support.
To strengthen his itaterai nt, Jus?
tice Gaynor first made publh a letter
under date of October 9, addressed
to him by Randolph Block who oc?
cupies an editorial position on the
Hearst papers.
"He asked you," said Plod*, "if you
would not run for mayor In the fall,
and said 'I don't care what ticket you
run on, I'll support you.* "
Judge Gaynor describes Mr. Heart's
course as giving hten "the most pain?
ful shock I had ever experienced,"
and as a breach of trust such as he
had never encountered before.
"It may be that with all his money
and newspapers and power, the peo?
ple of New York may not let him run
over me so easily as he thinks,"
Judge Gaynor concluded.
The preliminary In the case of the
State vs. T. P. Ward and W. B. Pier
son, assault and battery of a high
and aggravated nature, J. R. Broad?
way, prosecutor, was had in Magis?
trate Harby's court Saturday. Broad?
way was represented by C. L. Cuttlno,
Esq., and Officers Ward and Pierson
were represented by L. D. Jennings.
On the showing made Officer Pierson
was discharged and Officer Ward was
bound over for trial at the next term
of court, his bond being fixed at $200.
CLERGY FREER IN FRANCE.
Roman Catholics Have More Liberty
of Action Than They Enjoyed Un?
der the Concordat.
London, Oct. 8.?A Paris dispatch
to The Times says: Active prepara?
tions are being made, both overtly
and behind the scenes, by the French
Roman Catholics in view of next
year's election. The movement is
part of the effort, in many respects
admirable, and at all events interest?
ing, of the Roman Catholics in this
country to readjust themselves to the
new situation created by the separa?
tion law. For the first time in a cen?
tury their leaders?the priests, the
bishops and the arch-bishops?find
themselves free men in possession of
the same liberties as are enjoyed by
all other French citizens. So long as
they lived under the regime of Con?
cordat, combination was for them il?
legal. It constituted exactly the same
kind of breach of the law as was and
is the formation of a trade union by
any action of the large army of civil
servants.
The Roman Catholic clergy in a
word, are no longer "functionaries,"
and while by the rupture of their ties'
with the State they have perhaps, be?
come less independent than ever, In
that they are thrust back into the
hands of the Vatican and arc deprived
of having recourse to the French
civil authority in case jof irksome rec?
ommendations from Rome, they, nev
j ertheless now enjoy a freedom of
movement and a right of civic pro?
test and intervention which many of
I them regard as an inestimable boon,
largely compensating for all the dis?
advantage entailed by the rupture of
the Concordat.
, An immediate consequence of this
> new situation has been a revival in
the French church of that form of
practical Apostolate which thrived
; for a time under Leo XIII, after his
1 famous encyclical of "< 891 on the con?
dition of the working classes, but
! which neither the eloquence and loy
j alty of the great leader of the Roman
[ Catholic social movement, the Comte
i de Mun, nor the devotion and pollti
I cal talent of the "Liberal Catholic"
j M. Piou succeeded in maintalng pure
! and unsucceeded lnHgt:-mifff.oDoein
: and undeflled and immune from all
'{ compromising political passion.
1 The policy of the Vatican has been
! to divert Into profitable channels this
, resuscitated energy and at present
I under the Impulse given by recent
Pontificial orders, in which Pius X
I has directed the Roman Catholic in
J terests?that Is to say, to sink all
I their differences, political and social,
i In order to conciliate the sympathy of
\ the people?close observers here are
j witnessing the first steps in the form?
ation of a Roman Catholic party
which only the utmost prudence can
I prevent from becoming an object of
suspicion to the political world and
to the great mass of public opinion in
France.
The more enlightened organs of
4 Roman Catholic opinion here are well
aware of the danger lurking in the
formation of a Roman Catholic party
which shall actively undertake to
promote political ends. All the ills
that have befallen the church in this
country are largely due to Its inter?
vention in politics. The bishops, how?
ever, are divided as to the best way
of realizing the ideas of the Pope.
