You see, I had a whole lot of circus once, and it came near satisfying my appetite for the thing. It happened seven years ago this coming summer, in the nice, lovable town of Chi- cago. I was a reporter on the Chicago Inter-Ocean at the time. The big cireus came along, and, as | had the bad emi- hence around the offic? of being the spell- binder ard freak man of the outfit, noth- ing would suit the city editor but that I should ‘go around behind’ the show and write him a ‘good story of circus Hfe be- hind the scenes,’ as he called it in giving me the assignment. He was incited to im- pose this horrible job on one of his men by Frank Perley, the press agent person, | who was acting as the ‘rain-maker’ for the | show st that time. “Perley took me arourd to the big dress- ing tent himself, and if I had known. the job he had put up cn me I'd have soaked him | then and there. There were about a hun- dred or so of equestrians and acrobats and jugglers and contortionists and other folks of that sort ‘making up’ in the tent for the first performance—it was on the afternoon of the first day of the show's appearance. Perley had it fixed that I was to make my @ppearance in the ‘grand processional’ that preceded the big spectacle, ‘The Fall of Rome.” and he got Nero and Clio and Cicero and Cato and a few more of the PLAYING IT LOW ‘DOWN | The Press Azent Made Things Lively for the Reporter. When the Latter Rode as a Persian Prince He Was Given a Royal Reception. Written for The Evening Star. There is a newspaper man in Washing- ton who formerly worked in the town of Chicago. and yet he is alive and well to- day. But that ts not the remarkable fea- ture of this story. He told the story him- self recently to a group of members of Congress and other eminent versons with whom he associates daily, being a news- paper man who works, and not a journal- ist. One of the group asked this news- paper man, wiio had survived a period of Chicago, if he intended permitting his chil- Spite year, | Roman emperors and things, who took Coe Monsees a Ge hn ere epee ae help me make “No,” hz replied. “I have been allowing | uy They decided to put me on as a Fer- them to escert their mother to all the cir-| sian prince, and they robed. me in about $385,000 worth of duds and jewels to look the part. I never carried around so many clothes and so much glass in my life. They se-painted my phiz to make me look and warlike, and then placed on my a tall hat that was studded with koh-i-noors from top to bottom. Then they strapped on my murderous looking scim- etar, handed me a jewel-crusted mace that weighed about a ten—and announced that I looked fit to fight for my life. They fur- ther said that if I didn’t scare all the chil- aren under the tent into convulsions, they'd quit the circus business and take in plain sewing for a living. “Now, my part in this processional would have been a good deal of a snap if Perley hadn't put up a job on me. All I had to do as to He stretched out on a big, gilded palanquin, which was carried around the circumference of the tent by twelve ‘Ro- man’ soldiers. I liked the idea first rate, for a thinking part just about suited me on my first and final appearance in a cir- cus. So when the signal came for my pa- lanquin to move into line, I stretched my- self out with any amount of confidence, and was not even fazed a little bit when the bearers jolted it up in the air about twenty feet. When the Fun Began. “Well, the thing went off so well for the first half of the tent’s circumference that I began to think I was just born for circus life, and wondered why I hadn't listened to the promptings of my early youth and run away and jolned one of ’em. Suddenly the procession came to a standstill. My palan- quin halted so suddenly that it made my teeth ache, and, as we were only half way "round, I couldn't make out what the mat- ter was. Then I heard a yowl, followed by a series of hoarse and hilarious hoots. I was lying on my right side, with my face to the audience, but, from modesty, up to this time I had kept my eyes closed. I opened ‘em when I heard the hoot, which cuses that have happened along for the Eagle Brand Condensed Milk. LiTTLe Book“ INFANT HEALTH” Sent FREE, Should be in Every House. RY. CONDENSED MILK CO.

Perley had tipped therr off and rounded them up in the box. I saw it @Jl as soon as I opened my eyes, and I knew that I was in for it. “Strung? I don’t believe the man ever lived who survived the stringing I got dur- ing the ten minutes that that cold-blood- edly arranged hitch lasted. There must have been more’n a hundred of them In the box. Most of them were my daily asso- ciates and intimate friends, and over a dozen of ‘em were from my own paper, in- cluding the city editor, who had roped me in for this thing. They called me out by name; they rehashed my whole past life, and dwelt analytically upon my weak- nesses; every man of ‘em had a tin horn and a rattle, and when they were not guy- ing me they shivareed me; the beggars got the whole tentful of about 30,000 people on to me finally, and made me the whole thing; and all I could do was to Ie back on tnat blooming palanquin, with a silly, sheepish grin on my face, thinking black, horrible thinks. “Git out o' that, ye lazy jay, an’ give th’ sojers a chanst for their w’ite alley!’ the other people began to hoot at me, and— thirty cents was not a marker to what I felt. Finally, I saw the procession ‘uP ahead beginning to move, and I saw 11 with Reart-felt thanks. The press box Indians nadn’t let up a little bit when my palan- quin bearers started up. Just as they did start up something gave way underneath my head—more cf that black-hearted Per- ley’s work, I knew—and down I went into the entrails of that palanquin, with my feet kicking in the air. Smothered and mad as I was I could hear the terrific shout that those kind friends of mine set up, and all I could do to show my appre- ciation of the applause was to feebly wob- ble my feet over the ledge of the palan- quin, for I was practically standing upon my head. Nero and his pals fished me out when the palanquin reached the dressing tent, but Perley knew that I would be athirst for his blocd, and was already miles away, as they say in the story books. ‘That experience kind o’ queered me on the circus business, and that’s why I haven't been to one of them since.” > —_— WHY JAPANESE LABOR IS CHEAP. An International Comparison of Per- sonal Want -, Louis Globe-Democrat. An American traveler, who went to Ja- pan to study Japanese commercial methods and conditions, and especially the question of cheap labor, says that the last issue was made very plain to him in a few words in @ casual conversation with a Japanese gen- tleman who had spent ten years of his life in Europe and America. He sald: “You people are Inconvenient. You require 80 teuch more than we Japanese to keep you comfortable. Here, for example, you are paying % (silver) a day at your hotel, and I am paying 7 sen, or 40 cents of your money. I am just as comfortable and hap- py a3 you are. You certainly have tables and chairs and washstands and pitchers ard a bedstead and sofa, and goodness knows what, in your rooms. I have noth- ing of the sort. A nice, clean, tatami mat and a quilt is a good enough bed for me. Then you have so-much more trouble at your meals with your tables and chairs ard crockery and glass ware and knives and forks and spoons and mustard and pepper pots. Then you are crowded to- gether in one room. My meals are served on a tray in my room by a pretty maid, who kneels before me waile I eat, and chats and makes hersejf interesting, look- ing after my every want at the same time. Then you cart a lot of unnecessary bag- Sage around. The hotel furnishes me with @ fine silk dressing gown and a nice clean night robe, and I can buy a toothbrush for @ sen or so. Say what you lke, you Europeans are inconvenient people. You do not go along the line of least resistance, You make too much effort to live. It costs you too much in worry and anxicty, in flesh and blood and gray matter as well.” Close proximity with this happy-go-lucky Asiatic life enables the striking contrast between it and the amount of energy ex- pended on the daily necessities of Ameri- cans to be fully realized. The simple dif- ference between the $2.75 American money paid by the traveler and the 40 cents of the Japanese, by which each man filled his daily wants, represents, actually, the dif- ference between Asiatic and American la- bor. Our laborer must have $1.50 In good, sound money to supply his bare wants. A Japanese laborer can get along very well with 50 cents silver, or, say, 27% cents of our money. The rooms occupied by the most prosperous working families—o} ne room being sufficient for a family of a man and wife and two or three children— are sometimes five mats in width, but, as a rule, the breadth does not exceed three mats, with occasionally a space of matless ground of about two feet Square. In the cee of many rooms, especially those occu- pied by the poorer classes, the dimensions of the rooms do not exceed six feet, or two Tats. Often these houses, or rooms, consiat merely of a poorly constructed roof, under which the occupants sit and sleep on wovan straw spread on the bare ground. From the 8 large establishments. Where this refuse is util‘zed, a family of five mem- ‘bers can live on 14 or 15 cents (silver) a day, say 12 cents for rice, 3 cents for other food. Where the supplies ara Di fresh, ue cont Doxptis 30 cents. The re- munerat! ‘or nearly all kinds ot eueeting foe serty ds of labor is we. a ee Work Begun on the Catholic Hospital.

ARGUMENTS TO “JURY When the trial t B. Talcott, the tol, was resumed ; before Judge Kim- ball and a jury. in the Police Court, the government begaté the introdustion of tes- timony to rebut ftat’offered yesterdny by the ‘defense. Interest in the proceedings had apparently not abated in the least, it being necessary for a bailiff to exercise the utmost discretion m admitting persons, in order to prevent the crowding of the court room. After The Star’s report of the proceedings: yesterday closed, the defendant, Mr. Tal- cott, stated that he had given Roy Garri- son and the pther boys $38 in all. This he did, even though innocent, because he did net care to have a word uttered agninst his good name. It was nothing short ef blackmail, he added. “Did you not say to Mr. Hartley, the father of one of the little girls, Jast, Fri- day,” asked Assistant District Attorney Mullowny, “that you would give $500 to have the proc stepped?” “It's a He,” shouted Mr. Talcott, greatly excited. ‘It's a le; God knows it’s a iie.” Shortly after, Attorney Carringion an- nounced the case of the defense closed, and Mr. Mullowny called Mr. Hartley, who stated that last Friday Mr. Talcott offered him $500 to stop the. prosecution. Attorney Carrington this morning placed the de- fendant on the stand to expluin the con- versation with Mr. Hartley. “Did you. make any such offer es kas been stated?” asked Attorney Carrington. “No, sir,” replied. Mr. Talcott, with em- phasis. “Mr. Harttey came to ine and said he proposed to take a hand in the case. I stated to him that for the sake of the chil- dren, independent of any connection I had with -the case, I would have rather paid $000 than had the little ones figure in such a court proceeding. .. It would have been Pteposterous for me to make an offer to stop. the case after the trial] had been in Progress a whole day.” For the government, -Policeman Clinton testified that he heard Mr. Talcott admit to Policeman Smith at the time the warrant was served that he had played with the little girls in an improper manner. a Mrs. Parke, Mrs. Elliott, Mrs. Allen and Mr. Booker testified as to the good char- acter of the five little girls, and Mr, Mul- lowny then began the opening address to the jury for the government, Addressing the Jury. ¢ Mr. Mullowny reviewed the case and the testimeny in detail. At the outset the pros- ecuting attorney remarked that the at- terney for the defendant would probably argue that the allegation that Mr. Talcott admitted he bad played with the little giris improperly was inconsistent. The de- meanor of the defendant on the stand and his free use of oaths and other expressions, ‘said Mr. Mullowny, demonstrated that the ‘statement was theroughly consistent witn his character. Referring to the, sontention of blackmail set forth by the defense, Mr. Mullowny de- clared that it was absurd to suppose for a moment that Mn. ‘Talcott, a man of wide expertence, ability, and intellect, and pos- sessed of great worldly knowledge, would be frightened when:ijapproached by three boys and accused of an offense, if he was inrocent of the charge. The prosecuting ,afjorney spoke half an hour, during his remarks Mr. Talcott sit- ling with vowed head, pressing’ his tem- ples with kis hands. Mr. Carrirgtoni followed with an impas- sicned address tn .bebalf of his client. In opening he expressed the belief that the little girls, after the trial, would go to their homes as pure as ‘thé day they were born, so far as Mr. Taleoft was concerned, for no offense, he said, had been committed. The charge browgh!, against Mr. Talcott, accordirg to the aftérnéy, was one Basy to bring, hard’ ‘to prové and ‘harder ‘to “dis-4 “prove. Ye tone t ; “#f you make a mi#tuke, gentleme: jury" urged Attorney ~arrington; it in favor of the defendant. The facts are for you alone. A verdict of guilty will mean misery, shame, almost death, to this cld man, and disgrace to the Mttle girls.” ‘The attorney next read ar authority who held that tn every dczen charges of al- leged indecent assault but one genuine case is proved. “Where is there a word of medical testi- ony or the testimony of a mother,” asked Attorney Carrington, “to show that these little girls are not pure? First, gentlemen of the jury, there is no medical evidence introduced bere, and, second, not a word frcm anybody to show any injury, when serious injury there must have been if these charges are true. In my opinion, gentlemen of the jury, the case could be dccided propetly on this point alone. Reviewing his argument, Mr. Carrington called the attention of the jury to the fact that no medical testimony had been pre- sented, nor any evidence of injury, no in- jured clothing produced and no evidence of recent occurrence shown. Continuing, Mr. Carrington promised to show that the sto- ries related by the little girls were contra- dictory, were improbable, were impossible, and that the witnesses were not credible. The attorney called attention to the fact that the warrant for the arrest of Mr. Tal- cott was sworn out by Willlam Milstead. “They could not get any of the parents to bring the complaint,” said Mr. Carring- ton. “Roy Garrison would not do it, and nelther woukl Saxty, Isn't it significant, gentlemen of the jury, that the warrant should have been sworn out by Milstead, the only member of the blackmailing trio who did not get any of the money fleeced out of this old man?’ Attorney Carrington suspended his ad- dress in order that a recess might be taken. After recess Attorney Carrington re- sumed his address, dwelling. particularly on the physical condition of Mr. Talcott and the testimony of Dr. J. B. Gregg Cus- tis. On that ground alone, argued Attor- ney Carrington, the assault was impos- sible. If he thought that his client was guilty, said Mr. Carrington, -he would be the first to urge tearing him limb from limb before he could leave the court room. In speaking of the contention of black- mail, Mr. Carrington said that to his mind the fact that Mr. Talcott had paid $25 to his accusers in the hope of saying his rep» utation from attack was an evidence of innocence, rather than guilt. Mr. Carrington concluded at. 2:20 o'clock, urging the jury again to make the mistake in favor of the defendant, if any mistake should be made. ‘It is far better to let ninety-nine. guilty men escape,"’ he said, “than to convict one innocent man.” Mr. Mullowny at once proceeded with the concluding oddress of the case. Lynch law, he safd, originated because juries failed td convict. < ‘Mr. Carringtonmoted an exception to the statement of thw ptosecuting attorney, rc- marking that My. Mellowny was threaten- ing the jury. 9 adt Medical testimony, said Mr. Mullowny continuing, was entirely unnecessary. The charge was simplepeseauit,, and ail that -was necessary was laying on. of a hand improperly.

Cairo Apartment Company; on t His Expensiveness and His Short Ribs Discussed. From the New York Evening Post. Spring lamb is in season now; the win- ter lamb is merging into mutton, and gets heavy as spritig comes on. The spring lamb is just in prime condition, neither too young nor too old, too fat nor too lean, end tasting as it is not likely to at any other time of the year. Marketgoers count themselves lucky if they secure a choice cut. The delicacy is dear, though. A January lamb, nurtured ten- derly throughout the inclement weather in order to get to the spring market early, “a hot-house raised lamb,” in market par- lance, commands $3 or $3. for the hind quarter, and 2% or $2.50 for the fore quarter. Ordinary country lambs, which have not put anybedy to unusual trouble in raising them, can be bought for $ and $1.75 for the fore and hind quarter. The meat that adheres to the ribs is the sweetest meat on the lamb; next comes the saddle roast. - Lovers of spring lamb who are agreed as to its benefits and who realize that each lamb can have but one very choice quar- ter, have devised a clever plan by which they can share this expensive delicacy and Lkewise be independent of the butcher. Three or four such householders club to- gether and buy a whole spring lamb out and out, fore quarter, hind quarter, ribs, saddle, and all. It may be a $6 lamb or a $7 one, according to agreement, but what- ever the quality, whether it was born in January or December, by buying it entire it comes cheaper than when bought plece- meal. Mrs. A gets the very choicest cut this week, Mrs. B the next choicest, Mrs. C the third choice, Mrs. D coming in for a very ordinary quarter, perhavs the hoofs and head, or something of that sort. The next lamb that is purchased by the club is shared out with Mrs. B at the head of the class, and Mrs. A, who got the most tooth- some part in the previous sharing, goes foot, Mrs. C meanwhile counting on get- ting first choice the next week. This in- genious arrangement permits all parties concerned to eat high-priced spring lamb the entire season t market price. ganized capital. The butcher does not commend the plan, but admits its ticality. Spring lamb heads the list of comestibles just now, and divides favor with the spring shad, but there are the HAVE YOU TESTED MUNYON’S ELECTRICAL MACHINE? SUFFERERS FROM NF2VOUS PROSTRATION.
