FREDDY. TEE PRODIGY


Varied Accomplishments.
A small boy, with jet black eyes and
an oval face, clad in knickerbockers,
and looking for all the world like
hundreds Of thousands Of other boys,
stood in the wings Of the stage at
kernan's Theatre this morning and told
a CRITIC reporter some Of his history
and accomplishments He is q lad
whose name is known on two continents
and whose abilities have gained him a
world wide reputation, although he Is
not yet Syears Of age.
His stage name is Freddy" and
Hermann made him famous last year,
when he was the bright particular star
Of the great magiCiau's company. The
boy is a prodigy; but, with all his &C.
Complishments, he is a modest, unas
suminG little fellow, and delightful
conversationalist.
II was born in Turkey. he said,
I" but my parents are Americans. Papa
had a circus and was showing through
that country when I was born I made
my first appearance in Vienna when
ives 3 years old, and since then I have
performed In all the larger cities of Eu-
rope. ! have also been In Jerusalem,
Damascus and BaCdad and through a
good deal Of Asia Minor. In fact, I've
been nearly all over the world. | like
Paris best It's a nice city. Have you
ever been thereT'
Then Freddy, with the air of a vet
eran traveller, told Of his journeys In
foreign lands, and he must he an un-
usually bright observer, for one gets
interested in the delightful descriptions
the little chatterer so unconsCiously
gives.
II am z years and 8 months old"
he continued "and I can sing IN eleven
languages, although / only speak
four | can read in French,
Spanish and English, although | can
only write in one What do do2 Oh,
] sing, dance, and lead the orchestra
but can do tumbling and contortion
act, II necessary ] am also learning to
play the piano, but not for stage pur-
poses. ."
DO you find the work hard2"
"Oh, no. You see, I'm accustomed
TO 1t, and / don't mind Il at all; in fact,
] Ike II, and II does not make me tired.
It's easy work, too. If you will wait n
few minutes ] will show you what / do ="
just then the lads father approached
and told him that he might have some
trouble leading the orchestra (his prin-
cipal act) because Of the lack of GER
tain instrument. Freddy was disap-
pointed, but he answered cheerfuliy he
would be all right, and then bade the
reporter good bye.
He has never been to school In his
life, but takes his lessons at home. His
father, Mr. Clark, Is an old playwright,
and has been on the stage for nearly
twenty years. lie takes a pardonablc
pride In the ability Of his young son,
who has travelled more and possesses
higher intellectual accomplishments
than many older persons have.
II began Frcddy's educadon" said
he, when he was years oil I, and have
continued II ever since lie has been
all over the world, performed every.
where and Is one Of the best boys In the
world. "
The boy Is exceptionally well bred
and the very pink Of pollten, So a good
talker, using correct language, and Is
altogether what Is claimed To- him-a
prodigy.

police boat had reached the overturned

No little indignation seems to be mani

Sanitary Officer Frank this morning

He was charged with vagrlncy and
promised he would leave the city at
once. Theurer Is a crank and has been
about Washington more or less since
1857. In August Of that year he was
committed to the asylum and when he
came out In 1883 his fare was paid to
New York.
On June 7, 1889. the man came back
TO the city and was committed to the

The hope Of the Quay organs that
hey have succeeded in eliminating bal
lot reform from the present canvass, and
postponinc the issue by their indefinite
promise Of doing something unspeclued
IN that direction by legislative enact
mtnt. is evidently not well founded.
The Knights OF Labor, with whom the
farmers and the whole body Of pro
ducers in the State are in active sym
pathy, are determined that this ques-
tion, so vital 10 them shall be praCii-
cally settled In the present canvass
They have had ample experience Of the
utter worthlessness of ring promises for
reform.
They know very we'll that a Legisla.
ture, even partially dominated by the
bosses and the corporations, and, very
certainly, a Legislature In which the
Senate would be surely under such In
fluenCes, would never pass a ballot re.
form law which would be effective.
Accordingly, they insist that Mr. Pow
derly's plan Of q constitutional conven.
tion for ballot reform, which has been
accepted and is being pushed by the
Democratic State candidates and the
Democratic party all over the State,
shall be made the principal issue in the
November election The candidates
favoring this will undoubtedly receive
a decisive non partisan vote; a Gov
ernor and Legislature will be elected in
full sympathy with the Knights Of
Labor and the ballot reformers; the
convention will be called, and long be-
fore the election Of 1892 the people Of
this Commonwealth will be in the en-.
joyment Of free and independent
secret ballot, secured to them forever
by the Constitution itself.

kind Of little people called Matimbas,
which are no bigger than Boyes Of -

refers to the pygmles in the following
language:

Dwarfs, with their backs toward him;
PyCmies indeed In stature, but with
heads Of a prodigious bigness, for the

That whenever the President Of the

sugar producing country, whence sugar
Is exported to the United States, has
abolished its duties or taxes upon the
importation OF the principal agricultural
products Of the United States, he NAV

nose this amendment to give II legal

as one Of the greatest Constitutional
