Not an axe was swung or a door battered in. But within a brief time some moral force, acting silently but efficiently, sealed the grated doors hermeti- ally against the public. Not even the ‘‘friends of the! ° house” were permitted to pass the wicket. Q It was an exhibition of authority that {s interesting as showing the possibilities inthe way of suppressing gam- Diing quietly and noiselessly and effectively. If a word softly spoken can accomplish so much In so brief a time, ‘cannot the reiteration of it prolong this closing up and make it permanent? Has the strong man at last arrived ‘who is to perform the hitherto unperformed feat of clean- Ing up the Tenderloin and keeping it clean? Is MoClusky the Samson? On the first day of his round-up of crooks the Inspec- tor made sixty-five arrests of thieves, confidence men and members generally of the fraternity of gay clothes ‘‘graft- ers.” No such extensive cast of the drag-net 1s on record for almost a generation. If the Inspector's plan is fol- owed out with the “hundred arrests a day’ he threatens ‘Broadway will become as moral as a country lane, This ‘will in itself prove a heavy blow to the gambling-houses ‘vy driving away 2 profitable part of thetr constituency. SPRAGETTI * DERES DAT-A cop | GET-A DA MOVE ON THE OLD JOKES’ RETURN OF THE CIRCUS. ‘The aggregation of ponderous performing pachyderms, ‘with its hosts of high horizontal heroes is here, The elephant now goes round and round in three rings, eques- trian belles circle about on Circassian steeds, the clown utters a running fire of cachinating comics and the boss Pallyhoo is a busy man. In other words, the greatest show on earth is once more exhibiting its glories. The sublime spectacular circus is here. They had circuses in ancient Rome, but we have no Gate to prove that they surpassed the great American * {nstitution now in the fulness of its splendor. Was there “any chariot race of old time excelling in exciting features the contests of the modern three-ring arena? Were the Numidian lions as fierce as Mr. Bailey's or as handsome? ‘Wes the taming of Bucephalus equal to the feats of the fearless riders balancing ttptoe on wild Arabian stallions? ‘Was there any act in all antiquity comparable in excite- ment with Diavolo’s Joop of the loop on a unique unicycle? Critical Hurope, King and commoner alike, had seen ‘nothing to compare with the American cirous. You may ‘read its Indorsement on the show-bills. The development of the circus has made it a gigantic ‘business venture requiring for its control executive ca- pacity of a high order,. For the cirous of the last genera- tion an investment of $150,000 was deemed large. This gepital retuned Forepaugh $400,000 within forty weeks. ‘Out of what would now be regarded as a small invest- ment millions were made, W. W. Cole made $1,500,000 and retired. John Robinson left the ring a millionaire, Barnum's estate inventoried $8,000,000, ‘The expansion is not wholly satisfactory to the old- time circus-goer who takes his son to see it, It rather jstuns him, He somehow longs for the one-ring show of his boyhood. There was not 60 much to it, but the span- gled beauties were just as beautiful, and there was Dan Rice. They said thet Mark Hopkins and a table with a student at it made a college.
