Lavellc was born in Butler, Pa., on March 27, 1847, of Irish par- entage. His father, James Lavclle. and his mother, Anna, were both natives of Innlshone, Donegal County, Ireland. As would be indl- Wro. Thompson, In a new and up-to-date act. are alBO working steadily and giving great satisfaction. Our wagons, all being new, or practically , need so little repairing that we arc hav- ing It done by local shops, and all will be ready to paint by Jan. 1, when the painters, decorators, etc., will commence.

Of course, this made It possible for the cirrus to meet the high license. There are none of the circuses now In ex- istence that practiced this method. As soon as the Rlngllngs began to be big enough to justice to all. Suppose Kansas City should pass a pro- hibitive license, and all the big circuses should sign an agreement to leave that city out for a certain nnmber of years, how long would it he before the people would begin to ask why? and the papers would begin to chronicle the voice of the people. Then the aldermen, who took the greatest amusement in the world from the people, would see their mistake. Did the Kansas City alderman ever stop to think that it costs from $5,000 to $7,500 a day to ran a big circus, and that It brings a school in natural history right to your played an Important part In the uprisings of 1798, In Ireland; he comes from militant stock. Colonel Lavellc'e countenance show* the French strain. Up to the breaking out of the Civil War, Lavellc lived on the farm at Butler, and In 1861, at the first call for three-year men, ran away from home to be a soldier, but he was brought back by his father, as he was under age, However, at the last call for three-year men, he succeeded In enlisting In the Sixty- eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, then serving with the Army of the Potomac. After three months' active service at the front, a call hours each day. Over a hundred animals ere being trained for new acts. So rapid and wonderful Is the work being done that It amazes the old trainers. St Louis Is a big center for showmen. Among the visitors have been Col. Cummins. of the Young Buffalo and Cummins' Wild West; Chas. 'Sparks, of the Sparks) Show: Fred Beckman, of the California Frank Wild West, and many others. The weather Is mild; so far, not even one cold day, In fact, we have never bad fire In the animal bouse. The show will open here In April, and al- though the Frank A. Robblns Show has been has occasioned widespread comment among hotel men. Thanksgiving dinner was served to the La Salle employees In a rather novel manner.
