Elephants trumpeting, lions roaring1,
12 acres of canvas, pink lemonade,
popcorn, peanuts—hundreds of small
boys peering through the cracks in
tel Galvez last night in which loyalty
to country and church were empha-
sized. The banquet was served in the
ball-room of the hotel and more than
400 persons were in attendance. Places
Of honor at the tables were occupied
by Right Rev. Nicholas A. Gallagher,
D. D., bishop of Galveston, and Right
Rev. J. W. Shaw, D. D., bishop of the
diocese of San Antonio. Many of the
local clergy and a number of visiting
clergy were present, as also were City
Commissioners Sealy, Shay and Sap-
pington, City Attorney Mart H. Roy-
ston and Postmaster E. R. Cheesbor-
ough.
The scene was a brilliant one. The
handsome ball-room was decorated
with American and Texas flags and
on the tables were hundreds of small
American flags given as souvenirs of
the ocacsion. They also played a pic-
turesque part in the evening’s cere-
monies when at the close of the toast,
“Our Flag,” responded to by Wm.
Campbell of San Antonio, they were
waved aloft while the whole assem-
blage stood and sang “The Star Span-
gled Banner.”
William Blakeslee of Austin, master
of the fourth degree for the southern
district of Texas, introduced Judge
James R. Davis of San Antonio, who
acted as toastmaster. Judge Davis
presided in a most delightful manner
and by his ready wit often enlivened
the proceedings of the evening.
Mart H. Royston, city attorney of
Galveston, was then introduced, ano,
responded to the toast, “Galveston’s
Welcome.” After explaining that Gal-

The circus came from San Antonio and
judges every other man solely upon
his merit as a man and a citizen.
Judge Royston paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the lives and devotion of the
Catholic sisters and clergy during the
many years of their labors in Galves-
ton. He concluded his remarks by a
special appreciation of the services to
the community of Bishop Gallagher
and Father Kirwin.
Alfred Duperier of Beaumont spoke
of religious liberty, speaking of Mary-
land as the cradle of religious liberty
and citing many historical facts re-
garding the development of religion in
this country. He said that to him it
seemed that Columbus was the instru-
ment of God, sent to find a land where
real religious liberty and brotherhood
could be established, and America’s
peace and tolerance of all creeds had
had its effect over the whole world,
TOAST TO THE POPE.
To the toast, “Pope Benedict XV,”
Father Kirwin responded, saying that
while he spoke the sun was just now
shining on the beautiful palace of the
Vatican in Rome, where a frail man is
earnestly praying God to stop the aw-
ful warfare in Europe. “His voice is
crying out to God for peace. God bless
the pope, the great and good,” he con-
cluded amid a ringing storm of ap-
plause.

supreme master of De Soto Province,

President Wilson Holds Conference

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 16.—President
Wilson gave personal directions as to
how his supporters .should speak for
him during a conference here today be-
tween the president and members -of
the Wilson volunteers, headed by Amos
Pinchot, who will campaign for him

Washington, Oct. 16.—Examination of
the allies’ note on the censorship of
mails, made public today has brought
a feeling among officials that it does
not satisfactorily meet the protests set
forth in the American note of May 24,
which said that “Only a radical change
restoring to the United States its full
rights as a neutral power, will satisfy
this government.”
The state department has watched
with interest, however, the informal
arrangements made by British officials
through their trade department and
through such conferences as that of Sir

noon and night and will %e repeated
again this afternon and tonight.
Rita Mario’s orchestra was the big
feature of the bill. This act is com-
posed of ten charming girls who play
charming music and the audience seem-
ed never to get enough of it. They
were repeatedly encored and the show
was delayed by the audience who forced
the ladies to respond to encore after
encore. In addition to the playing in
concert, solos were rendered on the
xylophone, French harp and flute. The
musicians are unusually talented and
the pieces they rendered are both in-
teresting and beautiful. A singer ac-
companied the troupe and rendered two
selections.
The Seven Original Honey Boys, bill-
ed as the headline attraction, was all
that advance notices said of them.
These men, blackface comedians, have
excellent voices, blending perfectly and
their comedy and dancing efforts are
above the ordinary. This act is all
too short to suit the audience which en-
cored each number as it was presented.
The men composing the company are
well-known to local lovers of min-
strelsy.
Swan and Swan open the bill with
a different kind of juggling act that is
very pleasing. Both the male and the
female members are good jugglers and
the lot, from a real circus standpoint,
is the Hannaford family of equestrians.
There are five of them, three men and
two -women, the elder woman acting
as ringmaster. Circus patrons have
seen circus riding in the past, but they
never have seen such feats as are per-
formed by Richard Hannaford.
WONDERFUL ACT.
Pallenberg’s bears is another won-
derful act. The three bears do all man-
ner of stunts. One walks the tight-
rope and does some extraordinary bal-
ancing feats. Another spins about the
stage on roller skates, and another
rides a bicycle, weaving in and out be-
tween obstacles like a human being.
Swain’s trained cats, rats and dogs
provide a new and unusual act.
Mme. Marcella and her trained cocka-
toos and macaws also held the inter-
est of the audience. These birds do
skirt dances, turn somersaults, ride bi-
cycles and do all kinds of tricks that
birds never before have been trained
to do.
It is hardly possible to enumerate
all the features of the circus this year.
There are equestrians, equilibrists',
jugglers, gymnasts, aerialists and ac-
robats galore, each man, woman or
team being absolutely the best of its
kind. One of the star features is a

the first train arrived around noon
yesterday. Hundreds of youngsters
followed at the heels of the elephants
as they trundled into the big menag-
erie tent yesterday1 afternoon at the
grounds at Thirty-third street and
Avenue S. Scores clambored over the
gilded wagons the moment they were
halted. One future scientist, about 10
years old, never left a knothole in the
wagon labelled “largest living hip-
poptamus on earth,” until the sides
were taken away and Babe smiled at
him from a shell-pink mouth a yard
across. Then Babe yawned. The boy
gaped down the huge pink throat as
long as it was visible. Then he said,
“Gee, and some folks say he didn’t
swallow Jonah.”
The parade this morning was wit-
nessed by thousands. It wound its
colorful way through the principal
streets and was a joy and delight.
There were many new features. The
old standbys were all in line; the lum-
bering elephants, with their investi-
gating trunks; 20 tiny ponies four
abreast, pulling a golden chariot; open'
cages; tableaux wagons and ornate
floats—cowboys, gallant cavaliers and
handsome women all were in line.
“Hey, Jimmie, look at de tagurs.”
Sure enough, there were four tigers in
one cage pacing restlessly to and fro
and licking their chops at sight of so
many healthy boys passing their
barred prison. Two gaunt lions—each
a lean and hungry Cassius, in very
truth, in the cage immediately follow-
ing—were occupied during the entire
parade in taking a sort of mental cen-
sus of the red-cheeked babies lining
the route. The trunks of over a score
of elephants kept weaving in and out
for peanuts.
And there was the “blood-sweating
Behemoth of Holy Writ,” which no
doubt perspired gore more freely than
he ever did before, because his cage
was closed and locked. The small
boys spelled out the words with awe
and then conjured up a picture of a
most fearsome beast, with horns and
a spiked tail which breathed fire
through the interstices in the painted
boards and whose appetite was not to
be appeased with anything less tha
a live calf for breakfast each morn-
ing. "
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the “dose” mother insisted
on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How
you hated them, how- you fought
against taking them.
W ith our children it s different.
There was a very affecting parting
between Rev. C. P. Hasskarl of the
First German Evangelical Lutheran
church and his congregation last
evening when the pastor preached his
farewell sermon to those with whom,
he had been intimately associated for
more than ten years. Deep feeling
was shown throughout the ceremony
and there were not a few whose eyes
were moist as they bade farewell to
the man who had for so long been their
spiritual leader. Mr. Hasskarl and
wife left today for Nordheim, where
they will make their future home.
During the morning services of this
church Mr. R. E. Koehler presented
the retiring pastor with a gold watch
and Mrs. Hasskarl with a diamond-
studded brooch. Rev. Hasskarl, in
taking his departure, stated that he
believed that a younger man could do
more effective work in a large city
charge and he himself could find
plenty to occupy his time in the new
field to which he was going.
At a meeting of the congregation
held yesterday afternoon, Rev. E. Han-
nemann was called to the pastorate
made vacant by the departure of Rev.
TENTS ARE PITCHED.
Twenty tents—big and little—have
been pitched at the show grounds and
seen from a distance, with their
flaunting flags, they look just as at-
tractive as they did when gray grand-
father was a small boy and carried
water for Jumbo in order to get a free
ticket to the marvels concealed within
the “big top.” Many a small boy of-
fered today, to curry-comb the zebras
or fetch hay for the sacred cattle, and
the sudden industry they displayed
was marvelous to mothers and fathers
who have been trying for days to get
those same offsprings to do some
chores about home. There was not a
boy in town today who would not have
carried a bale of hay in installments,
for the privilege of gazing on the holy
cow from India,
The performance this afternoon was
witnessed by delighted thousands, and
another complete performance will be
given at 8 o’clock tonight.
The opening pageant is an oriental
prelude depicting the ancient glories
of Persia and the Thousand One Nights.
Students of historical lore spent months
of labor in digging out and devising
the costumes for this spectacular dis-
play, and the result is a pageant that
dazzles the eye.
Practically all the circus performers
take part in this. The oriental cos-
tumes are wonderfully barbaric and
beautiful, and the weird music, fur-
nished by a curious combination of
tom-toms, triangles and other queer in-
struments, adds much to the atmos-
phere.
After the pageant came the circus
proper. Thrilling acts from all parts
of the world followed each other in
rapid succession. The circus this year- .
has specialized in novelties, and it has
plenty of them. Perhaps the best of
Hasskarl. Rev. Hannemann has for
the past five or six years been pastor
of the church at Fredericksburg and
is considered one of the strongest
preachers in the synod of Texas, of
which body he is the vice president.
Rev. Hannemann has been a pastor in
Dakota and Pennsylvania before com-
ing to Texas and has left a splendid
record for good work wherever he has
been.
Rev. Hannemann, by invitation of
his congregation, visited this church
several weeks ago and the people be-
came pleased with him and he with
the people; members of the congrega-
tion express themselves as greatly
pleased at having secured the serv-
ices of so able a minister.
are doing, their care of persons in
distress, their raising of a fund to send
fifty students a year to college at
Washington, and their teaching of citi-
zenship and patriotism.
James B. Stubbs of Galveston, speak-
ing* for Governor James E. Ferguson,
spoke also of the patriotism of the or-
der. saying that the first teachings of
the knighthood was the love of God
and then of their native land.
He spoke of the history.of Texas.un-
der the flags of Spain, Mexico, Texas
and the United States and the develop-
ment of Christianity as civilization ad-
vanced. He, too, spoke of the work
the Catholics have done, their stand
taken in the wars the state has known,
their benevolence and citizenship.
David Daly of Houston made a plea
for work among the members of the
order to advance education, saying that
there are many bright young men these
days with whom he comes in contact
who cannot be advanced because o£
their lack of education, of technical
education and the knowledge that only
great colleges and universities can give.
He stressed this point in detail, asking
that the organization seriously investi-
gate the situation. He said that ini
this day and time in Texas men care
not for who the young man’s ancestors
were, but what sort of citizen the
Would Work for River Improvement
and Flood Control.
Austin, Oct. 14.—At a meeting of the
Colorado River Improvement associa-
tion held here, a movement was launch-
ed for the formation of a tsatewide
organization to push navigation, recla-
mation and flood control in Texas. It
was decided to have a meeting at
Wac next month during cotton pal-
ace celebration for the purpose of uni-
fying the conservation forces, at which
time the organization is to be formed.
All members of the legislature are in-
vited to be present at this meeting
and large delegations are expected from
the Colorado and Brazos river sections
of the state. With a strong league of
the forces from the Red river to the
Rio Grande, it will be an easy matter
to obtain appropriations from the Tex-
as legislature and also from congress.
Congressman J. P. Buchanan of this
district attended the meeting and ex-
pressed himself as being in hearty ac-
cord with the project.
At this meeting officers were elected,
which resulted in the re-election of A.
J. Bilers of Austin as president; other
officers elected were: Fritz Engle-
hart, Eagle Lake, vice president; Judge
J. B. Price, Bastrop, second vice presi-
dent; W. E. Long, Austin, secretary;
H. A. Wroe, Austin, treasurer.

More Than Twenty States Represented
at Cincinnati Gathering.
By Associated Press.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 16.—Mayor
George Puchta and William B. Melish,
president of the chamber of commerce,
welcomed delegates from more than 20
states at the opening of the 40th an-
nual meeting of the American Humane
association here today. The conven-
tion will be in session four days.
The president’s annual address was
delivered by Dr. William O. Stillman
of Albany, N. Y.
John D. Lindsay, president of the
New York Society for Prevention of

Richard Crawford in New York re-
cently and is understood to feel that
resentment among American citizens
over the allied censorship has been
greatly lessened. It is thought unlikely
that any reply will be made in the
three weeks before elections. In this
connection diplomatic circles attach
much significance to President Wilson’s
declarations at Long Branch yester-
day, that “it is almost impossible to
do anything positive” in the fields of
foreign affairs during the campaign.
All the information Teaching the de-
partment is understood to indicate that
the allies have determined to main-
tain the firmest attitude on the sub-
ject, feeling that absolutely vital in-
terests are involved. Officials are said
to feel, therefore, that any further pos-
itive istep by the United States might
bring the controversy to a much more
critical stage.

REV. KIRWIN PREACHES.
At the mass the sermon was preach-
ed by the Very Rev. J. M. Kirkin, V.
G., of Galveston. Concerning parts
taken by Knights of Columbus and
other Catholics in the early struggles
and development of this country, Fa-
ther Kirwin said, among other things:
“The Knights of Columbus is an or-
der of Catholic gentlemen more than
370,000 strong, banded together in love
and charity, recognizing individual
weakness and appreciating ‘that
strength is begotten of union.’ It is
not only a religious organization, it is
a patriotic one, and in the patrioic
service it knows no selfish interest,
it entertains no ambitious hopes, it
carries not menace to civil or religious
freedom. After the cross of Christ
there is no standard more sacred, no
symbol more venerated by them than
the flag of our country. And why
should it not be so? Was it not a Ca-
tholic monk who bade Columbus hope,
was it not a Catholic crew that with
him, our great patron, crossed the
trackless main? Did not the generosity i
of Isabella, a Catholic queen, render
the expedition possible, and was not
the name of a Catholic impressed upon
the entire continent? More than this,
the early history of our country is the
history of its Catholicity, and the Ca-
tholic names that cling in the four
quarters of the land attest the fact,
Catholics planted the cross claiming it
for Christ’s heritage at every extreme

Paducah', Ky., Oct, 16.—The bodies
of Elma Cope, 14 years old, and
Charles Brown, 24, her brother-in-law,
were found last night in* a ravjne on
the farm of the girl’s fathe near
Glade, Ky. The two eloped to Harris-
burg, Ark., Sept. 5, but were arrested
Sept. 9, and returned to Glade. Later
they were released and Brown was
put under bond.

The condition of the bodies indicated
death occurred at least six days ago.
The girl had been shot three times,
and Brown had one bullet wound
through his head. A revolver was
found beside his body.
the first organization for co-operative
selling to give an American industry
an advantage over foreign competitors
in foreign markets is announced by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. The organization consists
of an export sales company, represent-
ing eighty per cent of the Douglas
fir cut in this country and the bureau
considers that it will give American
lumber a decided advantage in the
.trade struggle that will follow the war.
“The American campaign to capture
foreign lumber markets has resulted
in the organization of an expert sales
company by western lumber manufac-
turers,” said a statement issued by the
bureau.
“This company represents eighty per
cent of the Douglas fir cut in this
country and its object is to exploit
Douglas fir and western hemlock in
the world’s lumber markets.
“It is expected without violating the
present antitrust law to give Ameri-
can manufacturers some of the ad-
vantages that were hoped for from the
Webb bill, which the last congress
failed to pass.
“The organization of this company
is regarded as the most important and
far-reaching step the industry has ta-
ken to broaden its markets and meet
the competition of the thoroughly or-
ganized lumber exporters in Northern
Europe. In conjunction with the in-
vestigation of European lumber mar-
kets undertaken jointly by the lum-
bermen and the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, it should give
American lumber a -decided advantage
over all competitors in the trade strug-
gle that will follow the war.
“Immediate attention will be given
to standardization of grades, to the
condition of export lumber, and to an
active propaganda in foreign countries.
Lack of attention in the past to these
very important details accounts in
measure for the failure of American
young man is and what he has the
ability to do.

spoke of the United States flag. “The

anything like an adequate concept of
the blessing enjoyed by the people of
this country during that period, if we
would understand the emotions of min-
gled pride and veneration which the
sight of our flag awakens in every
American heart, we must read the story
of those years in the presence of the

tion spread out before us.

“Matrimony by Mail” gave an amusing
story of what happens to the man
and woman who arrange for marriage
by answering advertisements in the
matrimonial papers. The company is
composed of two men and two women
who are well cast for their parts.
Beautiful Diana D’Aubrey pleased
with her singing in French and Eng-

the audience which called her back
several times. Her characteristic songs
were very pleasing.
Derkins European Novelty, a pan-

the bill and was a fitting ending to a
great bill. The dogs and monkeys are
trained to the highest degree of ex-

Declares Greek People Have Been Led
to Precipice.
By Associated' Press.
London, Oct. 15.—At a banquet last
night given by the Greek committee
pf national defense in honor of the
members of the provisional govern-
ment Eliptherios Venizelos made a
striking speech, says Reuter’s Saloniki
correspondent.
“The Greek people,” said M. Venize-
los. “have been led to the brink of a
precipice by an unscrupulous monarchy
which made common cause with the
politicians of our decadent epoch. When
this great war offered us the oppor-
tunity of realizing our national ideals,
our people were prevented from pur-
suing the path to their glory ' because
of an alliance with hereditary enemies.
King Constantine believes himself king
by the grace of God. This concep-
f tion is diametrically opposed to the
Queen Theater.
“The Firm of Girdlestone,” Vita-
graph’s Blue Ribbon feature, showing
at the Queen theater, was produced in
London for that company and features
the two stars, Charles Rock and Edna
Flugarth. The story by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle is a most interesting one
and no point has been lost under the
careful production of Harold Shaw.
The settings of this story are laid
in and about London so that the back-
ground is correct to the minutest de-
tail. The old counting house, the busy,
traffic-filled treets, the country homes
and city houses—all have their place
in the story.
In fact, this intensely interesting
story brings England to America and
is decidedly educational as well as en-
tertaining.
One view in particular of a busy cor-
ner of the great English city is with-
out equal. The bobbies with their Eng-
lish uniforms, the trams and motors__
each and every one is exactly the way
they look to the tourist far across the
sea.
A big day for the Knights of Co-
lumbus of South Texas was yesterday.
The occasion was the exemplification
of the fourth degree for the Southern
Texas district, and the large class
given the degree, at the municipal
auditorium Sunday afternoon, number-
ed about 165. William Blakeslee of Aus-
tin, fourth degree master for this -dis-
trict, was in charge. .
Hundreds of visitors from various
points in Texas were attracted to
Galveston for the ceremonies yester-
day. Shortly after 10 o’clock the
knights marched to St. Mary’s cathe-
dral to attend the military mass, the
first feature of the day. The exempli-
fication itself began at 3 o’clock in
the afternoon. Then came the ban-
quet, at the Galvez hotel, last night.
The exemplification exercises were not
concluded until dark,
In the parade knights and initiates
were in full dress, with baldrics and
swords, making an imposing spectacle.
A band headed the line of march. When
the cathedral was reached the knights
entered and lined up on either side
of the aisle, forming an arch of drawn
swords under which the clergy passed.
* Officers of the mass at the cathedral
yesterday morning included only two
bishops instead of three as had been
forecast. The two were Right Revs.
N. A. Gallaghr ahd J. W. Shaw of
Galveston and San Antonio, respec-
tively. The third was to have been
=2=6e
of its territory. It has been fertilized
by the blood and sweat of priests and
martyrs along the Canadian border, in
Florida, on the plains of the West and
both slopes of the Rocky mountains.
And here where we forgather today
the gentle Franciscians passed ‘as ships
in the night of darkness’ bearing the
message of Catholic faith. They have
left the impress of their labors, upon
the golden prairies and flowing rivers
of Texas and the old missions still
proclaim that we were first among
the pioneers. Just two centuries ago
that marvelous Franciscan blessed An-
tonio Margil, founded the old mission
of Guadalupe near Nacogdoches, and
we commenorate this year the bi-
centenary of a permanent parish with-
in the limits of the Galveston diocese.
“We Catholics love Texas. The
first blood shed for its conversion was
that of three Franciscans martyred
among the Tiguas in 1582, and the
greatest influence of its exploration
and civilization has been the Catholic
priest. He has left the impress of his
faith and his deeds upon the Trinity
and Brazos de Dios, as well as upon
the misisons circling San Antonio. The
first permanent structure dedicated to
God’s service within the present limits
of the United States finds itself at
Ysleta del Sur in the diocese of El
Paso. We can truthfully say that not
a land was found, not a mountain
crossed, nor a stream forded, but
Catholics led the way, and wherever,
from the depths of primeval forests,
cities, towns and states sprang up;
where instead of the savage there ap-
peared men longing for freedom, there
we find the trace of the missionary’s
footsteps.
“Let us not forget that it was upon
the eastern shore of Maryland in a
Catholic colony that the day star of
religious freedom arose, and presaged
the important principle that thereafter
upon American soil religion was to be
free, unhampered, unfettered. And
from that time down to the present,
whether groaning under despotic rule,
whether amid the trials of the revolu-
tionary struggle, or amid the wars
that threatened the autonomy of our
nation, there sharing in the trials and
tribulation and participation in the
subsequent triumphs were to be found 1
the Catholics.”
BANQUET LAST NIGHT. 1
The crowning event of the day’s ac- !
tivities was the banquet given at Ho- i
Finds Health in a Simple Tonic.
People in Galveston will begin to
believe us when we say that our deli-
cious Vinol is a wonderful tonic and
strength creator.
Here is another case where it has
proved its wonderful power to over-
come weak, nervous, run-down, anaemic
conditions.
“I was run-down, nervous, and could
not do my work without being entirely
’ exhausted, and would often faint with-
put any apparent cause. The doctor
said I was anaemic, but failed to help
me. My husband brought home a bot-
tle of Vinol and I began to improve
after taking one bottle, and after tak-
ing four bottles it has built me up so I
can do all my housework without help.
I recommended Vinol to a neighbor,
who says her doctor approves of it and
said ‘Vinol is a wonderfully good
tonic.’ ” Mrs. Bessie Hering, West
Philadelphia, Pa.
We recommend Vinol to our custom-
ers as the greatest strength creator
we know—due to the beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pep-
tonates and glycerophosphates, all con-
tained in Vinol.
