A GOOD SHOW.
Two First-Class Performances Given
In Newberry By The John H.
Sparks' Shows, ^
"While the John H. Sparks' Shows,
which gave two performances in Newberry
on last Friday, are not as large
an aggregation as some of the big circuses
which have Wsited Newberry in
recent years, and do not claim to be
as large, the price of admission being
less than the big circuses have always
charged, the show made up in excellence
what it lacked in size. The performance
in the afternoon was attended
by about one thousand people,
and' they were well pleased with the
show, and it was Very generally commended.
At night there was also a
large crowd. There are many firstclass
features, and the performance is
clean and wholesome throughout.
The trapeze and acrobatic performances
were of a high order 0? excellence.
A mono' I ho performers in
this line MilettO, an old man of about
six'.v 'Vears, easily carried off the
honours, though there were several
others whose acts were meritorious,
and who wet? liberally applauded by
the crowd', nitffcng them being Ashton,
whose feats balancing on his head
in a swinging trapeze were among the
most, daring in the whole perform
ance. With Milctte in some of l is
performances was his son, a little lad,
who seemed to enjoy being swung by
his father through midair from one
trapeze and being caught by Valentino
in another and then swung back
again, and in other daring feats.
There were several well-trained
horses, and Mayo, the ring master,
seemed to have them under perfect
control. Among them the favorite
was Mayo's (the son of the ring
master Mayo) Horse "Bravo," who
was decorated with the blue ribbon
in the street parade and in the performance.
Spirited and graceful of
movement. "I'.ruvn" is a beautiful
animal, and it will lie suuprisin-r to
those who saw him and admired him
to know that lie is twenty-two years
of age.
It. is probable that 110 better trained
elephant has been seen in Newberry
in a long time than the huge
"Miss Mary." "Miss Mary" was
raised by the Sparks people, and she
is Only seventeen years of age. While
the show was wintering in Augusta
the past season a baby elephant
which had recently been purchased by
Mr. Sparks at a cost of $1,800, died,
much to "Miss Mary's" regret. Elephants
are costly, it. being estimated
that the animal now with the Sparks
Shows is worth in the neighborhood
of .$5,000. The Tdnia market for
wild animals is now controlled by the
Ilag'enbaeks, of Germany, and
they furnish practically all the will
'animals which are imported to this
country.
The Sparks Shows have been on
the road for about twenty years.
They haw only recently started out
on their tour this season, having
spent the winter in Augusta. The
show is worthy of patronage. There
is nothing in the performance that
could offend any one.
WILL RAISE THE MAINE.
Sixty-Three Bodies of 231 Men Who
Went Down Probably Still in
the Old Hulk.
Of the 231 men killed or wounded
when the United Slates steamship
Maine was blown up there still remain
sixty-three who have never
been found. Congress i* now taking
i-l.cps 10 nave tiiese bodies found and
buried.
On March 10 the house of representatives
adopted the following resolution
:
"Resolved, That the secretary of
the navy be requested, if not incompatible
with the public interests, to
send to the house of representatives
as early as may be possible, all letters
and data as to the cost and legal
status under which congress may exercise
immediate or future action for
the removal of the wreck of the U.
S. S. Maine and provide burial for
the dead now lying within the hulk
in the harbor of Havana, Cuba."
On February 23, 1808, congress, upon
recommendation of the navy department,
appropriated $200,000 for
the purpose off reentering the remains
of the officers and men lost at
the time of the sinking of the United
States steamshiip Maine, to raise the
vessel or to save such parts of its
machinery or equipment as might be
practicable.
This -work was contracted for by
two companies jointly, and the work
commenced early in March, 1808. The
total cost, was in the neighborhood of
$1,100 per day, and for a short tima
readied $1,000 per day. The total
"expenditures made under this contract
were $50,039.61, tho work being

terminated April 2, I SOS. It was
found that on account of the peculiar
circumstances under which the vessel
was sunk, the nature of the work, and
the conditions existing in the harbor
at the time, it would be extremely
difficult to even approximate the cost
of the undertaking. A provision was
made in the contract, however, that
if the ship should he raised $100,000
would he paid to the patty of the
first part. The records of the work
which has been done show that 231
men were killed or wounded when the
Maine was blown up; that of this
number twenty-four bodies were recovered
and buried at Key West. One
hundred and sixty-four were buried
in Havana and .subsequently removed
to (lie United States. The total
number of bodies recovered was 1SS,
leaving sixty-three not found. Little
property of value remains in the vessel.
ith respect to Ihe second point
covered in the resolution, i. e., the
legal status under which tho congress
may exercise immediate or future action
for I lie disposal of the wreck of
the United States steamship M'aine,'
the following statement made by the
secretary of the navy explains the,
sit nation:
<4It lias been shown that at the
time the disaster occurred il was asj
snnied by this department and by the
I congress, and at least tacitly conceded
by the local authorities at .Ilav-j
ana. liiat the I nited State, acting
through the navy department, had I
lull power in the premises.
"'That since the war with Spain
various communications have been
entertained by parties interested with
the heads of the departments of State,
of the treasury, of war, and of the
navy, with regard to the status of the
wreck of the Maine. Tn this correspondence
the navy department has
consistently taken the attitude that
no executive department of the government
has authority to dispose of
or to abandon the wreck, but that
such power rests solely, so far as this
government is concerned, in the congress.
"The department further recommended'
that inasmuch as the wreck
j lies in the harbor of Cuba il
would be advisable, in order to obtain
a valid and effective disposition
of the Maine wreck, that the matter
should be settled by a convention
with Cuba which should be submitted
to the senate of tiro United
States for its concurrence.
"While this was at a time whea
conditions were not the same as at
the present time, it is nevertheless
believed that any action authorized
by congress should be taken with considerate
rogard to local harbor and
