"Four hours each day." he said, 81
submited to the treatment and it
seemed as il a million OF needles were
piercing my quiyering hssh at the
SINE time" His idea in being tat
tooed all Sover the body was simply
that of excelling his military com
rades who were only tattooed on
breast. hands or arms. He has alto
gether over go different designs on
his person. On his back is a
representation Of the Crucifxion,
which was tattooed by an Amer
lean operator, while all the rest
of his body is covered with pictures Of
Buddha, the Light OF Asia, and his
apostles, of animals, reptiles, flowers
and conventional designs. He claims,
however, that the masterpiece on his
back is the most artistic design ever
tattooed on any human being. The
practical. looking Capt. Cardozans is a
great center Of attraction. He looks
like a "sure enough" pirate. He is
the nephew OF the Greek Capt. Cos.
terminus, the fret entirely tattoOed
man ever brought to this country.
Frank How ard, a very intelligent, gen.
tlemanly man, is the artist, and, COM
mencing today, will operate on sub
iecls who volunteer, aud there are al
ways more than he needs or can
find time to work upon. The
sage performance this week il
an especially breezy one, with rather
more of the theatrical element in il
than usual. The only "hold-over"
candidate Tor applause is little Floesie
EdwardP, the ideal child tong aud
dance artist She has an Iiish MAX
up' and song which is extremely
amusing. Lew Sunlin and Allie
Jackson have very funny sketch
called Painies Dsntistry and the Cam
ders give a dressy comedietta in one
act which takes very we'll. The inev'
liable bsnioist, in black this time, is
Charles French, and il he has chest
nuts for the audience they are at lesst
Of the latest crop. OF Ajax, the ser
pentine, it may be said without exag-
geration that his body resembles piece
Of India rubber. In view OF the
crowded audiences, ladies' will find II
pleseanter to attend the matinee per
iormances rather than those of the
evening,

making total of twenty-four and two
third miles by the cyclometer.

it as an effort to set Alright the mis-

departure, butIet' contra hope that
when he shall shuttle of this mortal

The Curse OF the Day.

Universal extravaganza, says the
orangeburg Times and Democrat, is
sinister sign of the times. 1t is the
effect and at the same time the cause
Of widespread corruption. 1t tempts
men to dangerous speculation and
fragrant dishonesty. It drives them
to desperation, and hurls them into
disgraceful fight, to prison and to sui
eide. It produces sense of insecurity
in business circles and makes legisla-
tion terror to taxpayers. 1t erects
false standards OF social position, and
sets a snare for the feet Of every young
man in the land. 1t is debauching
politics and bringing it to pass that a
rich fool or rascal is a more eligible
candidate for Office thar the posses
sor OF exalted talent and unsullied
honor without money. This is not
all of the evil, nor the worst part of it
It strikes nearer home and at still
more vital point. It spoils our Won
en-, making fools of some and running
others. Nothing we read in history
exceeds the present mania for extrava
giant expenditure in dress. There
might bave been better taste, but no
more reckless waste, in the court 0
Louis the Fourteenth than in tht
shoddy circles of :be United State
now. It is national lnanil From
the vulgar life of a bonanza king o
successful! s,ockbroker, to the cham
bermaids in our hotels it pervaacs a
classes.
