How The Circus Man Eats.

From the Cook.
Mr.. James M. Nixon, who knows ali
about a circus, said to the Cook;
"There are no people, excepting the
plainsmen-the skirmishers over the
wild country of the west-who lead SC
hard a life as circus employees, both
performers and workingmen. Their
life is not as hard now, it is true, as it
was some years ago, excepting withthe
small concerns. They are the wagon
shows that travel through the small
towns. But even with the big con.
Germs that travel by train it is hard
enough now.
Take the case of a wagon show that
has to travel thirty miles after night
performance to get to the next town,
where a street procession is to be made
in theforenoon. The workmen, canvas
men and the like have to take breakfast
at II o'clock atnight. Then they get no
meal till dinner, after the procession,
say atnoon. Wherever they are, the
work must be attended to first, and
eating O. second consideration. With
the performers, gymnasts, riders,
clowns and the like, it is not SO bad.
They get better pay and better food.
As a. rule, they live on the best food
+hapa io ~ no nod vvhaea fhary ho py,an
to be, and they take q great deal oil
it. Most of them aregreat beef eaters.
and are not very particular whether
the meat is cold or hot, so long as it.
is good and plenty. They are very
particular, however, about cleanliness.
/ have seen twenty or thirty of them
get up and leave the table because the
tablecloth was dirty. And when they
want a meal they want it, and will
have It. / have often seen them leave
a ho.el where they would haveto wait
fifteen minutes for a dinner that was
paid for, and 60 to q restaurant
where they would have to buy an
other. They won't eat unless they
are hungry; but they are always hun
grv after a night performance, and
will not GO to bed without a hearty
supper. They say they can't sleep il
they are empty.
Zone thing that is peculiar about
them is that they do not take medl-
cine, and they are remarkably healthy.
When they are out of sorts they diet
themselves, each one according to
their own ideas, but / don't think |
ever saw $50 worth of medicine
around a circus in all theyears i have
been in the business. Yes, they drink.
Not to excess, but nearly all of them
drink when they feel like it. They
eve drink, however, before perform.
ing. They are very careful of them
selves. They have to be or they would
not last long.
Gas a matter of course, with their
irregular habits, they are, in a certain
sense, extrayagant. Their extrava.
Gance. however. is mainly in the mat.
ter ofcating. Experience teaches them
very soon, if their W sense does not
at first, that they must take the very
best possible ARE of themselves physi
cally, and that good eating is a pri-
mary condition"
There mas GecH III iaAt years " Isl
Improvement in all departments o.
the travelling circus, and in nothing
has this been more observable to those
in the business than in the provisions
made for the health and comfort Of
the employees. A good chief cook
with q circus will get as gooda salary
as a irst-class performer, and has to
earn it.

Lawyer Caht,I and the Detectives.

SCENE IN THE POLICE COURT THIS MORNING.
In the Police Court this morning Mr.. Cahill
stated that ne had client down stairs named
Lancaster whom he wanted to see, and after OBJ
tanning the courts permission to do so, had re-
quested the keeper to send him up. The pris-
oner had started up stairs. but he was inter-
cepted by two odetectives-Carter and his partnt r
who were then interviewing the prisoner
against his (Cahill's) protest The judge had
the prisoner brought up, and Mr.. Cahill took
him to one corner. where he was consulting
with him, when Officer Henry walked over and
spoke to Mr.. Cahil A moment later Mr.. Ca
hill. addressing the court, complained that
while consulting his clent Officer Henry un-
dertook to overiiear the conversation and re-
fused to go away. The court stated that there
weSe no private apartments in the building for
counsel to consult with their clients, and he
could not guarantee his (Cahiil's) security
against other persons hearing the conversation.
officer Henry said that he merely wanted to
speak to Mr.. Cahill, and when ordered away in
the manner he was he refused to leave. Detec-
tive Carter then came in and said lie had come
to see the prisoner at his (the prisoners request
ana that while talking 10 nim Mr.. Cahill walked
IN and in rude manner ordered him away.

trary he states what is not SO; he ies.'
The attorney said she lies' SO low that neither
the officer nor the court seemed to hear it.
Lancaster was subsequently released without

Is it Good Management?

TO the Editor of The EVENING STAR
Near the close of the last session of Congress
bill providing for the condemnation of land
along Rock creek for a national park passed the
Senate, and only tailed in the House for want
of time to consider it. That such bill will
soon become Il law no one for moment doubts
and Rock creek park is spoken OF and
regarded by our citizens as though the acqusi-
ton oil the land by tine government were already
accomplished. The land ill question, however,
is not yet the property of tine government, and
there Is no assurance that any of it will be do
mated or even that il will be condemned at it's
present value. Is il wise, then, for the Commits
siOners of the District to extend avenues, build
bridges and make other improvements on the
land which the government expects TO purchase
at an early day? What would we think OF the
business capacity OF Al man who, when cOntem-
plating the purchase OF farm, would first clear
out the jungle, lay down an extensive system
OF drainage, tertiiiZe the soil. plant orchards,
erect costly buildings and otherwise improve
and beautify II, and then expect the owner to
sell it as unimproved land: And yet is not this
precisely the line OF policy which our Commits
sloners propose to pursue with reference to the
land which 1t is expected the peoples money"
Will purchase for a national park"

The Aeueduc. Fridge Matter.

THE CANAL COMPANY AND THE LESsEEs COME
To TERMS.
The following proposal, submitted by the
Alexandra c1nal directors To the lessees, has
been accepted:
"The Alexandria Canal company to join with
the lessees in a deed TO the government for the
piers and aqueduct to be used as a free bridge
The lessees TO pay the debts of the canal COM
pany and To surrender their lease, and all the
money tS12o.00Ol paid by the nited States for
the aqueduct to go TO the lessees.''
Bv this the iesseeS receive some $50. 900 clear
and the canal company gets back the property
leased, minus the aqueduct, but free of debt
In other words, the canal company sells it's
rights in the aqueGuct for money enough to pay
its debts. In the auditors report OF city assets
for 1882. under the head OF financial securities
l. placed "a debt from the Alexandria Canal
Co. Sl"2.3II.I.. This, o. course, is not in
Guided IN the deois to bc paid, as it would more
than swallow up the whole amount Alexandria
expended on the canal, n sum equal to nearly
one-iourth of the value OF all the real property
IN town.
