They Concentrate in This Village to Bee the Greatest Show Earth -Pen Pietures of Human Nature. There is an interest associated with circus that makes all humanity kin for the time being, and which can only be explained by the fact that men and women are but children of older growth. No one can explain the peculiar fascination: connected with it, still when the circus comes to town every other duty in life is subordinated to the one great desire to go and see the show. THE CIRCUS WAS A MAGNET, And how they.

did pour into this village yesterday. They came from all over- -on the railroads, in all sorta of vehicles, and a great many on foot, some of these latter reaching here at an hour in the morning that must have necessitated a start from home long before daylight. All shades and degrees of human nature were represented, and the greatest interest of the day centered in the great crowd of people attracted by the event. Whole families were here who only have three holidaye in a yearFourth of July, Christmas and circus day, and they consider this the biggest day of them all, And how they enioyed it. They only had one end in view, and that was to see everything possible in a given time.

All of them had a half dollar stowed away that was to prove an coped sesame to unlimited enjoyment. The shower in the morning merely made, the afternoon's run more enjoyable, but it played sad havoc with the many white gowns prepared especially for this occasion. THE BEST IN THE LAND A description of the circus is beat expressed in the statement that it is the best organization in the country, and the performance is of a high order of merit. Nearly all of the artiste are new this year, and as a result many novel acts are presented that have not become familiar landmarks. The wonderful size and magnificence of the combination was indicated by the street parade i in the forenoon.

It was. the grandest procession of finely kept horses ever shown in this state; the great display of well-fed animals, the best illustration of historical events of popular interest and favorite tales of the nursery; and the most magnificent spectacle all in all ever seen in Glens Falls. The streets covered were lined with thousands of people and they all enjoyed the spectacle with no sense of disappointment. SOME OF THE THING: SEEN The people tasted fair lemonade and good peanute, bought red balloone and other- indispensable for their children and then proceeded inward, to the animal tent. They gazed upon and won dered at the big rhinoceros, the splendid polar bear with his finely kept white coat, the hippopotamus of sacred history, the kingly lions, the royal Bengal tigers, the ravenous hyenas, fearful and long, lank panthers, the spotted and picturesque leopards -including the only black leopard in captivity all of them in the most perfect physical condition and 88 handsome and terrible as if in their native jungle in the tropical or frigid regions.

And all securely caged, too, for which the same people were thankful ALL STARS. But the circus rings. There are five. of them, really, though but three of the regular circular sawdust rings are there. Every performer is a star.

Riders and vaulters and gymnasts and athletes and trained animals and clowns, galore, to the right, in front, and to the left, tumble and turn, and twist, and make merry, emIt is like a great dream, filled with shapely people and grotesque costumes and beautiful horses, which move and fill the brain with a pleasing vision of wonders. The waking is the losing of. a spell, and the missing of details, but there 18. NO JAR AND JANGLE. Men and women ride horses with no harness, standing and sitting, double and single, and all ways.

Men and women turn 8 somersaults and leap perilous distances, turning in the air as only the skilled and daring will do. Cate jump through burning hoops, and big elephants stand on one leg. Horses run terrible and rattling races and stir the blood, jump the high bar and stop the breath of 10,000 spectators, and then the racket is over and the theater opens. -GRAND SPECTACLE It is the largest theater stage in the world. Columbus and the discovery of America is shown upon it with magnificent and wide scenery.

This- is Imre Kiralfy's masterpiece, and all his efforts have been colossal. This la the greatest spectacle ever put together and played. Hundreds of ballet girls appear in gay costumes, and dance and march to soulstirring music. Hundreds of men do likewise with different effect. The whole is a vast illustration of the life, trials and triumphs of Columbus, elaborated by the master hand of Kiralfy, and Staged with bright costumes, strong chorus singing and enchanting moveIt is built on history, but it is built with a more lavish band than history is ever manufactured in real life.

They Don't Lake the Notoriety, Two men called at THE STAR office last evening to say that they were soap peddlera, but were in no way connected with the crooks who represented them selves as dealers in that article while vieiting houses to make a survey of the situation for the purpose of committing burglary. The callers quite naturally do not like to be confounded with the thieves. E. They gave their names 88 E. 9.

Barrett and E. 8. Robinson, of Boston; said they bad sold their goods here for several years, and were stopping at 49 Elmstreet. They presented credentials which seemed to substantiate their statementa, Damage Done by the Rainstorm Yesterday--Foundation Walls Collapse, One of the heaviest rain storme of the season occurred just before noon Jesterday, Although it lasted only a short time, an immense amount of water fell. Sewers became choked in many places and streete and sidewalks were submerged.

The drain pipe from Fielding' laundry collapsed, and a flood. from the Ridge street with which it was connected, poured through the opening and into the excavation for the cellar of I. N. Scott's store, washing away large section of the foundation- wall. It will be necessary to spend a considerable sum in replacing the wall before the owner can continue building, A portion of the stone culvert running down Oak street was washed out on Warren street where men had been digging for the new sewer.

The rushing water undermined a part of the roadway, carrying large quantities of the earth down through the Warren street sewer. At this point there was an open end, the Warren street sections not having, been connected. The cave-in interrupted travel on the street railway for a short time until the bank near the track had been strengthened by planking. LIKE A CLOUD BURST. TEN CLUB MISNAMED.

It Was Not the Original Lake House Nine but Ploked Players. LAKE GEORGE, August 1. Editors of the Star: saw in your issue of recent date, account of a bail game purporting to have been played between the Athletice, of Glens Falls, and the Lake House team. There was an inaccuracy in your account, which I trust your sense of fair ness will lead you to correct through the columna of your paper. When this game was arranged with the Athletics, represented by D.

L. Robertson, I telephoned him distinctly that the Lake House team would be unable to play, as it was not yet organized, but that I would try to get together nine men and play a game, since Mr. Robertson seemed 80 anxious to bave a game. There were only three members of the Lake House team of $99 here, but after a good deal of trouble we managed to get six other players and had the game, the account of which you published. The Lake House team hopes to organiza in about a week, and will then be quite willing to play, but you can readily understand that we do not care to have a picked up nine play under the name of the Lake house.

Trusting that you will see our position in this matter, and will make- the neces. sary correction, I am, Youre Respectfully, EDWARD T. DONNELLY. DEATH'S DOINGS. William Raftis Dies Suddenly Baratoga Baokman Drops Dead.

William Raftis, aged about sixty eigh; yeara, died suddenly at his home, 28 Mohican street, about half- past ten o'clock last night of rheumatism of the heart. Deceased had been ailing for some time, but was able to be about 88 usual yesterday. He is survived by one son, Patrick, and two daughters, Mary and Johapna Raftie, who reside here. William Carney, a Saratoga hackman, died from heart failure while driving his team on the streets of that village Monday evening. His brother was with him in the carriage at the time.

Captain Alfred Passono, of West Troy, an old river boatman, and well known in that vicinity, was killed by being thrown from a carriage. in New York city on Monday, The funeral of Miss Rosa Reilly will be attended this morning from the house in Sandy Hill at nine o'clock and from St. Mary's church at 9:30. Rev. Father MoDermott, of Glens Falls, will officiate in the absence of Rev.

Father O'Brien, A COOD SELECTION. But a Correspondent Thinks He Came Into the Fight Too Late. Editors of the Stur: The article in THE STAR yesterday from Y. in behalf of Major Dwyer, is good, and much more might be said or written in his behalf, and then the "truth would not half be told." But why has this very important announcement been left for this late day, after nearly all the caucuses in the county have been held and the delegates pledged, and many -yes, very many of the friends of John Dwyer committed to other candidates who cannot now honorably desert them. It the letter in THE STAR of yesterday, or the announcement made in THE STAR some days ago had been published three months ago, Major Dwyer would have been our next county treasurer, sure.

But as it now is another soldier boy must bear the high honor for the next three years. A. B. Republican County Convention, Chairman Loyal Davie has called the Republican county convention for Tuesday, August 8, at 1:00 P. M.

at Woodward ball, in Warrensburgh, to select delegates to the senatorial convention to be held at Lake George on Auguat 22. Pursuant to a resolution adopted at the convention to nominate county officers in 1889, a change has been made in the representation, Last year the total number of delegates to the county convention was eighty. Under the reapportionment the number is seventy. Based upon the vote for president in 1802 each town is now entitled to delegates as followe: Bolton, Caldwell, Chenter, Hague, 4: Horicon, Johnsburgh, Luserne, Queensbury, 18; Stony Creek, Thurman, Warrensburgh, 6.

Transact all other business Auguet 29, J. F. CROOKER, Superintendent, CITIZENS SAW THE PARADE AND THIEVES TOOK POSSEBBION OF TEN HOUSES. the Secured supply of Jewelry- A Bandy Hill Man Who Thought His Money Wonld Be Safe at Home. his The thieves and fakirs that follow in the wake of all circuses turned up in full force in Glens Falls yesterday, The former, following out their usual to vieited residences during the paradi.

It the family happened to be out watching the spectacle they effected an entrance if possible. In case the occupants. were found. at home they generally offered 80me commodity for sale A8 An excuse for their call. At the house of J.

S. Powers, corner of Sherman avenue and Uncas street, two crooks got inside by opening a side door, while a third stood on guard on the sidewalk. They took a gold watch and two gold finger rings owned by Mrs. Powers, and one ring and 8 gold pen belonging to Mr. Powers.

On the case of the watch was the monogram. G. In a bureau drawer there were some teeth filled with gold. The thieves carefully removed the gold and left the molars, ANOTHER STOCK OF JEWELRY. The residence of Ezra Hartman, at the corner of Elm and Pine streets, was also visited.

The doors of the house had been securely fastened, but the thieves found little difficulty, in obtaining an entrance througb a window in the rear of the building. Here a gold watch and chain, a valuable diamond ring, pair of gold braceleta and a purse containing a small sum of money, all of which belonged to Mr. Hartman's daughter, Mrs. Everett Harrison, were re taken. The thieves visited every sleeping room in the house, ransacking bureau drawers and even removing mattresses and clothing from the beds in their search for valuables, A trunk containing valuable papers belonging to Mr.

Hartman was broken open and the contents were found scattered about the room. So far 88 known Mrs. Harrison's jewelry and purse were the only articles carried away. Some of the articles of jewelry were wedding presents and were highly prized by the owner on this account. TOOK HIS POCKETBOOK George Smith, of Fort Edward, had hie pocket picked in the crowd near the ticket wagon on the circus ground in the afternoon.

The crook took Mr. Smith'e pocketbook, containing eight dollars, out of the inside pocket of his coat. Sneak thieves, perhaps the same party that operated at the other houses, went into the residence of A. W. Morgan, Uncas street, but the job yielded only seventeen cents in cash.

SUNDRY SNAP SHOTS. The allegorical representation of the declaration of independence in the parade was a very imposing tableau, with the one exception of Thomas whis kers, A stubbly black beard of four days' growth and a white wig and peruke are two, as it were. During the hours before the parade a coy family party camped out in one of the hallways on Glen street. Father, mother and about eleven children were there, and the only difference to them between that hallway and a popular summer resort was the absence of the merry-go-round and the tin-type man. The right up" people picked up a number of stray dimes yesterday, The heat and mud combined to make it much pleasanter to ride than to walk.

In the morning the women and child ren formed the larger part of the crowd, but when the shadows of. evening began to tall John and bis beet girl sallied forth upon pleasure bent, and loving, couples who had put off their visit to the show until evening were very much in evil dence. Frank S. Perley has been press agent for this circus so long that nearly all the newspaper men in America know him, and those who do not want to. Mr.

Perley is a graduate himself, and his treatment of his former confreres is always marked with a rare cordiality. The optical illusions in the animal tent were sounde of wonder to a great many people. They shake a man's confidence in his eyesight, but they teach us that the beet plan is to believe nothing that we hear, and only one half of what we see. The seemingly impossible feats presented are made possible by a clever arrangement of mirrors. The various hotels had their hands full yesterday, and the impatient man had a hard time of it about dinner time.

Everybody generally lingers on the street till the last moment, and then wants their meal in a rush. The resulting confusion and comments on the quickness of the poor waiters in some of the dining rooms was amusing. The Glens Falls Spaniards who made their first appearance on any stage yesterday, in the Columbus spectacle, made a great hit, One in particular was noticeable, and his stride as he passed the press box would have broken a peacock's heart. He was a real actor. She was dreesed in a wonderful creation of pink, with low ru set shoes and white stockings, and he had light pants, cutaway coat, red necktie and no vest.

They evidently thought a great deal of each other, for his right arm was around her waist, and her left band rested lowingly on his shoulder. Their state of evident bliss was inteusifled by one bag of peanuts between them, he holding the bag while the girl ate a few, she in turn performing a like service -for him. It was a sweet idyl, and the fact that they were attracting a great deal of attention made no difference to them. They were happy, and didn't care who knew it. OPERATED IN SANDY HILL, The house of W.

F. Plaited, on Oak street, Sandy Hill, was thoroughly ranacked in the afternoon. Bedticks were turned over, and the contenta of bureau drawers atrewn about. A five dollar piece and valuable ring were taken. Mrs.

was visiting Mrs, Biggart, a neigbbor, at the time. Mre. Pierson, who lives on the opposite side the street, saw two young men in front of the house. One of them rang door bell. Receiving no, answer, they went to the rear of the house, where one of the men got inside through window and then opened the door for pal.

Charles Fuller, another Sandy Hill man, lost $150 in cash. When 1 he was for Glens Falls, with his wife, on leaving attend the circus, he took the money in out of his. pocket and placed it in bureau drawer, thinking it would be safer there than on his person, Upon his return home he found a- rear door wide open. had been locked when he left home. SEVERAL "CROOKS" ARRRATED.

One of the followers of the circus was detected working the game near the tents yesterday. He was arrested by Sheriff Reed and locked up. Subeequently, he was escorted before Justice Dinan. He gave his name as John Kelley, of Weat Troy, and' pleaded guilty to the charge, The magistrate imposed a fine of ten dollars, on ment of which the prisoner was charged. Later in the day Officers Mur-125 ray and LaPoint arrested on the circus grounds two other "crooks" who were caught working the same game.

They also pleaded guilty before Justice Enches and paid a fine of three dollars and costa. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the police, pickpockets, who usually follow all large shows, 'a barvest and succeeded, in escaping detection. A Fort Aun farmer who came to town with a well filled, purse found only twelve cents in his pockets when he stepped up to the ticket wagon for a ticket. He and his three children returned home without seeing the show. A lady, whose nam could not be ascertained, suffered the loss of a pocketbook containing twenty- five dollars.
