A Bear Ridden Like q Horse.

People living in the neighborhood of
new Chinatown witnessed 4 novel sight
yesterday, when a t%hinaman went gal
looping along the streets on the back of a
monster bear. which was going at a
pretty lively rate. Old Bruin was bridicd
and saddled in regular fashion, and his
slant-eyed rider wore a heavy pair OF
spurs. The rider and his steed halted
in the main street of the Chinese quar-
tiers. and the bear was led :nt3,l-h one
of the stores back INTO 4 little shed.

DIME MUSEUMS IN HARD LUCK.

Glass Eaters, Brooklyn Bridge ana Nj

Museums are somewhat on the decline
at present" said New York Snowman,
who recently disposed of his interest in a
10 cent establishment of rare monStrOSitieS
What is the cause?r asked a Mail and
ErSress reporter.
We want showmen of more nerve and
fertility of invention. ANY dime museum
proprietor can hire an attraction after the
papers have made him. her or il famous.
We need few more young Barnums to get
back the prestige our institutions once had.
Who would have thought of making a mer-
maid or showing George WaShington's nurse
but Barnum? Ii was downright genius the
way he bnOmed the show business when he
began. Now, of course, the many fakirS in
dime museums are known as such and have
lost their attraction. MonstrositieS and
freaks are very common, especially among
large and small people. Glass eaters are
popping up everywhere, and a man Jumps

there is the great risk We run in engaging

ing feat He Is exhibited scarcely a week
when some other person eclipseS his record.
A genuine freak. like Jo-Jo, the Russian
dog-faced boy, pays better than the fool
hardy crank who has done something. for
the simple reason that it is difficult to be
born a freak.
Then, too, the Legitimate museum is now
spiked and fringed with a performance by
regular hired actors. 1t is true, they don't
get as much salary as freak, but they are
expensive in the long run. That these per
fOrmances are popular | don't deny. but
what 1 want to know is where il will end.
Dime museum prOprieto;s will have to fur
nish high toned opera after a while, if the
thing keeps on. Maybe though. il is like
the skating rink furOr, and will gradually
die out. Anyway, in my opinion. it has in
jured the tone of the iirst-class museums.
When you try TO mix up two shows, or put

you are meddling with dangerous material.
