BEATING A CIRCUS AGENT.
The Sad Experience of Willy Newspap
Man and His Scheme

ihe Sad Experience of a Willy Newspaper
Man and His Scheme.
The weekly paper on which learned
my trade was situated in a town which
no circus going west ever skipped. We
used to count on those circus ads. as reg.
ularly as we did on TIE holidays, and for
years and years we were without a
break. They were cash, of course, out
side of the dozen free tickets which the
agent left, and the money pulled the
publisher through a tight place more
than once
Our object was, of course, to get as
high rate as possible, and to get high
rate we had to boom the circulation. 1t
held steady at about $50, and for the first
three or four years it was sufficient to
tell an agent that we printed '.about a
thousand copies" After that, however,
there was one chap who gave us trouble
He was an agent for old Dan Rice, and
he paralyzed us by asking to see the pile
of paper we had wet down for the out
side pages. While he didn't get to see
1T, he knocked our regular $40 ad down
to $50, and he had no sooner gone than
we began to plan to beat him next sea-
son.
About the time he was expected we
got an extra bundle of papei., fixed it
with the landlord of the hotel to notify
MS, and the idea was to wet down enough
to show full thousand copies. We
were daily expecting call, when an old
tramp printer slouched into the office
one morning and asked for a Job We
were just getting ready to work off the
outside pages, and as he said he was
used to Washington" he was offered
quarter to pull the edition. l was at
the roller, and l soon saw that he knew
his business. He could fly" and point
his sheets with surprising dexterity. and
he brought the lever around with a
"chuck" which made things shake. In
two hours he reached the bottom sheet
and turned to the publisher with:
lis this all?'
Yes, that's all"
Il make the pile four hundred and
fifty"
''It's about four hundred and eighty.
Here's your quarter, and perhaps I'll let
you set up an auction bill this afternoon. -
When afternoon came in walked the
circus agent, looking as Jim Dandy as
you please. We took one look at him
and tainted. He was the identical chap
who had done the press work of the
morning. When we recovered conscious
ness he was holding out his blistered
hands and saying:
"Tll fill out a contract at S1S and leave
six tickets. Sorry for you, gentlemen,
but perhaps you can get rid of that extra
bundle of paper by discounting literally
on the price. I'm working this little |
racket all along the line, and it's curious
how fast the circulation of the papers
gets below five hundred. New York |

This Bull Had Lots or Fun.

BANGOR. May 3l.-A big and vicious bull be-
longing to Farmer Charles Ellsworth OF Wilton
broke loose one night last week and stirred up
such a rumpus about the place that the women
folks, who were alone in the house. thought
that II two-ring circus had arrived by tho
cyclone route. The bull had been closely con.
fined by means OF a ring in his nose. He first
demolished tho hencoops, setting about a
hundred squeaklng fowls loose, and then
wrecked the pig pen. sending several old sowS
and their litters sIuealing about the harnyard.
Next he brought down tho c!otheslines and
trhmpled weeks wash in the mud, cRpSiZed
the lye cask. soft sOnp barrel and rain water
tank. and then charged the tool house. He
succeeded in partially wreckinC this, and then
flercely attacked II big grindstone which stood
near by. In some manner the bull got tho
grndstone fixed upon his horns, and this an
Kered him so that he made break for tho
farm house bringing w with crash against
the door one OF tho women in the house
thought u burglar was trying TO get In and
began blazing away with II revolver where:
upon the door was burst in vii h Il crash, and
the Rrindstone, which had slipped from its
sockets. rolled into the room. The revolver
frightened the bull. Tor lie snoaked back to the
stable. where FARMER Ellsworth afterward
found him looking very sheepIsh, with the
trume Of the GrinGstOne still about his horns.

ELECTION JUDGES.

The evening Republican organ raises
an unnecessary and ridiculous howl,
because the Democratic county COM
mittee declined to enter into an arrange
ment with the local Republican bosses
for fixing up slate of election judges.
The reasons for declining to enter into
such all arrangement are very sensibly
and very fOrcibly set forth i'll Chairman
FULLER'S letter to Mr.. LowENSTEIN.
The law devolyes the duty of appoint
ing election judges upon council, and
the right of that body to perform that
duty has never heretofore been queS-
toned. There is no valid reason why
the law should not continue to pursue
the even tenor of its way. The ward
aldermen are all of them entirely COM
petent to discharge their official duties
in this, as in every other matter. The
city council as body is more apt
to perform this particular duty
i'll more impartial manner than
could be expected of any partisan
political committee. The aldermen are
not candidates for any Office, nor are
they the managers of any particular
party. The duty of appointing election
judges is one that has always been per-
formed by the city council. ana it has
always been satisfactorily done. When
the council was Republican the Demo-
Gratis never made a kick against the
right of the aldermen to name the
judges in their respective wards. The
Republican aldermen in the present
council will be accorded all the rights
and c0urtesies in this matter that their
Democratic associates enjoy. So that
Republican committeeman only made
themselves ridiculous by making such
an unheard-of proposition as the one
they submitted to the Democratic COM
mittee, and which the latter properly
declined to accept. The Democrats are
law-abiding class, who are always
willing to submit to whatever the law
imposes. The righteousness Of the law
and the propriety of its execution by
the proper officials is never questioned
except by those who have reason to
dread its terrors.
Thief never felt the halter draw

DUBLIN. Oct. 8. The hearing in the
case OF the government against Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien and the other ma
tionalists, who were arrested on the
charge of conspiracy. was continued in
the magistrates court at Tipperary
to-day. In the course of the proceed
lngs u question arose as to the time the
trial should occupy. and Mr.. Roman.
the prosecutor for the crown, declared
that he was entirely ignorant of the
time it would take to present the case
for the government or for the accused to
make their defense. Mr.. Healey, of the
counsel for the defendants, said he was
in mortal fear lest the trials would
last for six months. sMr. Healey's re-
marks excited the laughter of those
present at the hearing. Much excite
ment was occasiOned in the court room
by the evidence of one Of the witnesses,
a policeman, who testified that he fol-
lowed several of the defendants into the
vestry of the Catholic church and tried
toOvernear what was said there by them.
This testimony aroused the indignation
of counsel for the defendants, and he
demanded to know if the penal days
had returned when the sanctity of the
confessional could be invaded. The
court room became chorus of criesIand
the confusion was so great that it was inn
possible to go on with the proceedings.
The court was therefore declared ad-
jonrned for half an hour. When the
court reOpened the policeman witness
was cross-eXamined by Mr.. Harrington,
who called the witness shadow"
The magistrate called upon Mr. Har-
rington to Withdraw the expression.
Mr.. Harrington refused to do so
and was ordered to leave the case. An
uproar ensued, Messrs. O'Brien and
Dillon commenting freely upon the
manner in which the case was con-
Quoted. Finally another haIf-hour adj
journment was ordered. During the
adjournment Mr.. Harrington's clients
decided to defend themselves. When
the proceedings were resumed Mr.. Dill
lon bad just begun to address the bench
when cheer was raised for Mr.. Har-
rington. This so exasperated the mag
istrate that he ordered the court cleared,
and the proceedings were adjourned
abruptly, amid the greatest confusion.
A large body of police was massed out
side the court. There was no rioting.
