Albany. X, Y., Oct. 17.—Scores
of distinguished public men and ed-
ucators of this and other states join-
ed today in the dedication of the
;.\ew York State Educational building,
the only building erected by any
American state or any foreign coun-
try for the exclusive use of its edu-
cational activities. The dedicatory
exercises were combined with the
one hundredth anniversary of the
act of 1812, which laid the founda-
tion upon which the New York state
system of education has been con-
structed and maintained.
A reception in honor of the dele-
gates representing educational insti-
tutions throughout the country was
held in the new building this morn-
ing. Whitlay Reid, ambassador to
Great Britain and chancellor of the
University of the State of New York,
delivered he opening address at the
dedicatory exercises this afternoon.
Governor John A. l)ix, on behalf of
the state, presented the building to
the tmard of regents, for whom ac-
ceptance was made in an eloquent
address by Vice Counsellor St. Glair
McKelway. Dr. Andrews, Draper
commissioner of education of the
state of New York, then proceeded
to deliver the dedicatory address.
The exercises concluded with brief
congratulatory addresses by Former
Governor Benjamin B. Odell, Jr.,
and others.
The building dedicated today was
erected at a cost of $4,000,000, it
is a structure of imposing beauty
and classical design. One of the
leading features is a great auditor-
ium, occupying two stories, with a
gallery and promenade on three
sides. The ground floor Is given
over to offices. On the second or
main floor of the building is

Notwithstanding the rain during

Greatest Show on Earth held the
city a witling captive today, repeat-
ing its surpassing triumphs of for-
mer invasions and demonstrating

was complete and instantaneous. Its

To Divide Ecclesiastical Province.
Montreal. Oct. 17.—The twenty-
first session of the Provincial Synod
of Canada (Church of England) con-
vened In. this city today and was
opened with a sermon delivered by
the Lord Bishop of Huron in Christ
Church Cathedral. At the conclus-
ion of the religious services the dele-
gates adjourned to Synod Hall for
the first of the business sessions.
The meeting is regarded as the most
important that the Provincial Synod
has held in years. Before final ad-
journment is taken it is expected
that definite action will have been
taken for the formal division of the
province Into the metropolitan sees.
At the present time the Provincial
Synod embraces all of Canada from
the Atlantic, to Manitoba. The
growth ot the church and the con-
sequent increase in the amount of
work now call for a division into
two synods, in Hie opinion of the
church leaders. It is proposed to
rreatja, a new ecclesiastical Province
of Ontario, to embrace the diocese
of Toronto, Huron. Ontario, Niagara.
Algomo and Ottawa. This would
leave the old Provincial Synod of
Canada to comprise the dioceses of
Nova Scotia, Quebec, Montreal and
Frederickton. The division would
necessitate the appointment! of a
new Archbishop and the Metropolitan
the Eastern Provinces. The present
Bishop of Quebec, being (he senior
prelate, is ■ prominently mentioned
for the honor.
FORTUNES IN FACES.
There s often much truth in the
saying ‘*her face is her fortune ”
but its never said where pimples,
skin eruptions, blotches, or other
blemishes disfigure it. Impure blood
is back of them all. and shows the
need of Dr. King's New Life Pills.
They promote health and beauty.

aVunuatve that are not always
vouchsafed in the world of “white
tops;" the voice of joy and health
resounded through the ranks
Four trains are required to trans-
port tha vast and wondrous effects
of the Burnum & Bailey circus and
they began to arrive from Gaines-
ville before daylight this morning.
No | > re para til y arrangement that
human foresight could conceive had
been neglected at the M. K k T.
railroad yards and the work of un-
loading and disembarkation began
promptly. The usual home of small
boys and their elders was on hand
to bid the big institution hearty wel-
come.
The first section bore the para-
phernalia necessary to the immedi-
ate wants of t.iie encampment at the
show grounds and had been stripped
of its burd’U of stake and chain
wagons, cook tent outfit. dressing-
room necessities, canvas wagons
pole wagons, stable wagons and two
hundred draft horses before its com-
panions of the rail had been sighted.
One of the tint to alight was the-
general manager and at his heels
was the circus (detective, scrutinizing
fas eg and figuiand conferring
with railroad officia’s The eir us
mail carriet. too, was among fit-•
early throng. He hurried off to
the posloffha where a bundle of sev-
eral ^thousand letters and packages
awaitod him.
The circus, it was discovered, al-
lots twenty-two horses to each
stock car. Barnum k Bailey tarry
more than half a thousand equines
of all kinds and .olor and1 sizes, from
the saucy ponies and fleet, slender
chariot race is’ to the big white ring
and draft horses. They are so
loaded that they must each stand
erect during the railroad journey,
for injury and perhaps death, exper-
ience has taught, is the inevitable
resuit of one of the animals dispos-
ing himself by accident or design in
any other position. Although to
the layman it would appear that,
they are crowded to an unnecessary
extreme, the circus man understands
that the compression, in reality, ren-
ders the* railroad trip more com-
fortable, for the wrenches and Jars
incidental to the journey have far
less deleterious effect upon them
than would be the case if they were
closely loaded.
rtdewalks wore lined and porches
and window's tilled with curious ear-
ly risers eager lo gcjt iheir first
glimpse of Lie circus, when tne
procession began fiom the railroad
track to the show grounds.
With the arrival of the chain and
stake wagon the active work of
erecting the tents began. The cook
tent was first in position that food
might await the him .nils of circus
folk on tha way. The •, one was one
of bustle and activity. Teams of
horses were soon pulling the tower-
ing centre poles of the "big top" into
upright position and the skeleton of
the monster was in place. The vast
leaches of canvas were enrolled in
sections and laced together while
flat on the ground. Then the mam-
moth white cloth swelled upward
and was attached to the side poles.
Wagons and apparatus kept arriv-
ing and riders, ringmasters, animal
trainers, aerialists, gymnasts, jug-
glers, equilibrists, clowns. ticket-
sellers and all the test of the hete-
rogenous throng were putting in ap-
pearance. Small hoys were pressed
into varied service, receiving a
ticket to the show as remuneration.
Curious crowda looked on. They
came from farm and merchandise
and ffom seats of learning and
courts of justice and seemed to
find keen enjoyment in the unwont-
ed sights and sounds.
The cook tent is one of the mar-
vels of the modern circus. Nearly
five thousand meals will be served

not be improved upon in the large
hotels of many cities. It was the
custom In the old days for the cir-

be unable to meet the demand mado
upon them. The food, cooked in
the open, has its own peculiarly ap-
petizing flavor. it is served in
abundance.
Seamstresses worked with needle
and thread amid tne whir o,f sewing
machines In the wardrobe tents: the
harness and blacksmith tents were
as complete in their facilities as any
stationary estahllsment: the stable
tents delighted the children and
commanded the admiration of the
elders: In a convenient and sheltered
spot the ashen cloth of the circus
barber shop showed.
Cages were thrust under the me-
nagerie tent only long enough for
the feeJing of the animals and a
hasty burnishing of gilt, and clean-
ing of wagon wheel and body. Soon
horses reappeared, now plumed
and ornamented, and drivers don-
ned the uniform of the parade. The
sound of music began from many
bands. Clowns, Charioteers. joekaya,
knights and ladies, camels and ele-
phants made appearance and soon
the picturesque cavalcade nearly
three miles long was in motion.
Fred Bra (tne. equestrian director,
led the line down to town and back.
He had already been over the
('oursa once, noting its roadbed con-
dition with caution home of long
experience.
Through crowded streets the pa-
rade measured its glad and glamor-
ous passage. Tigers and lions stared
(••tea (illy through iN? iron bars ot
manV cages, but taking no. heed of
the plgmv 'humana who at are l h;nk.
Tlie hyena yawned, with a cumulat d
ennui. Then the gorgeously capari-
soned riders, [tien and women in
spangles, richly decked camels, for-
ty elephants, the tableau wagons of
burnished gold and flaming red.
Order had come out of the con-
fusion at the show grounds when
the parade returned. All was in
readiness for the performance, seats
and stands and' rings and trapezes
in places and every man at his post.
Gaping crowds filled the enf.los-
ui i in front of the main entrance
whle the uircus "spielers" proclaim-
ed with linen y and skill and orato -
ica.l effect file wonders of the side
show. Pictured by word and brus i
were ihe wild men. the midget, the
Egyptian giant, the ventriloquist,
ihe knife thrower, the fortune teller,
tire snake charmer, the electric lady,
the o iiers who made up the collec-
tion of oddities and the group ot
nrgno jubilee singers.
The crowd grew fast. When fin-
ally the signal to begin the opera-
tion of selling tickets for the circus
performance was given the tickets
sellers in the big red wagons faced
a sea of upturned faces and aloft
the air was peppered with hands
brandishing admission money. Thous-
ands of dollars change hands In thin
brief period every day with the cir-
cus. but night records a balance as
correct in detail as the most exact-
ing hanking institutions.
Kadi.one of ;h? seven men at the
main entrance understood his duties
perfectly and there was no confusion.
Into the menagerie tent, with its
great variety of animals, caged and
tin.aged, streamed the human pa-
rade. stopping to comment and ob-
serve on its wray to the “big top."
The Barnum k Bailey menagerie in-
cludes lilt dens of animals and al-
most every creature known to zool-
ogy was seen today by its patrons.
"Miss Suffrage," the baby giraffe,
attracted much attention and great
throngs fed peanuts and pop corn
into th. trunks of the elephants.
The monkey cage was another popu-
lar rendezvous.
The circus baud discourse, popu-
lar selections while tne crowds
found seating spac e in t. e vast en-
closure. The perfoi niance bega t
promptly at two o'clock when the
cornet eo untied a melodious call.
"The Spectacle of Cleopatra" w as t'.io
inaugural presentation. It is the
most ambitious undertaking in the
history of the Bamum & Bailey cir-
ri'4, enlisting ttie services of more
than 1,000 persons and indicating
the limitless resources of the circus
man. Following came tlie compre-
hensive and kaleidosi ocpid tourna-
ment upon tlie hippodrome - track,
the three rings, the two stages and
in the maze of aerial apparatus. The
early numbers gave evidence that
tire circus has tills season surpassed
a'l its individual and collective i.ls-
pIs vs of the past.
The final performance will he
given lonight ani then the circus
will move to McKinney. Ii is prom-
ised that there will be no confusion
or curtailment, and another mightily
pleased audience is expected.
