This was Charley's Christmas eve
speech, as he stood upon the piano, with
immense boots on his little feet, and
gesticulating most violently with his
Misunderstanding arms. In other
words, Charley was personating a
dwarf.
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-11-20

The door opened again and in bobbed
this monster. His youthful face added
to his great stature was the admiration
of all. After satisfying himself by eX-
amining the pictures Oh the wall, the
top border of the wall paper and other
objects of high art, he bobbed himself
out. His cane was nothing more nor
less than the long sweeping brush han
die. and his cloak of past fashion;
still giant is allowed to have some &C.
centricities. The deception was good,
and how it came about was this wise:
A small boy is placed on the shoulders
of a man, large coat or overcoat over
the two, and the monster is made. If
quite young the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the
figure would be helped by pair of
false moustaches and hat about six
sizes too big, and you have giant COM
pIete.
Now was heard from the adjoining
room plaintive strains from the melo-
deon, and we were told it was the fu-
neral of the dwarf.
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-11-20

In this picture you see how the thing
is done. He puts pair Of boots on his
hands, resting them on the piano, while
a companion stands behind him and
reaches his hands over Charities shoul-
ders. A loose cloak or shawl is arranged
about the dwarf so as to allow the arms
of No. 2 to project and appear as If they
belonged to No. l, the dwarf. This per-
formance should take place in a door
way, where acurtain can be so arranged
as to hide the head and body of No. 2.
Without further explanation it can be
seen that the "dwarf trick" is very
easily performed, and it always affords
great amusement.

After the elephant had left in came a
more ferocious though smaller animal,
called the California gyascutus, or night
howler. Previous to the entrance into
the parIor was heard in the adjoining
room the clanking of chains. with un-
earthly howls and sharp, command
ing voice of the keeper. Suddenly the
door opened and in he walked, as shown
above, uttering most hideous notes
through his long pasteboard snout, as
sisted in the uproar by the shouts Of
children, either terrified or trying to
be so.

The next piece of fun was the entrance
of the elephant. This was very funny.
The keeper walked alongside while
little Eddie rode upon the monsters

keeper explained how it was perfectly
tame and none need be frightened at his
savage appearance. He would not hurt
a sick kitten. Below you will see how

ENTIRE PTBLICITY U1ITED.

The beginning of the end of the Long Island
cr-Supply Company appears to have been
made This is the concern which cxMayor
Chaplin will always have reason to remember
with sorrow and modification. The scandal
resulting from Mr. Chapins attempt in De-
ccmbcr 1890, to purchase the property and
rights of the company in secret and at a most
cXtravagant estimate, brought Mr. Chaplin to his
undcing. Not only did it make him unaya-
able as candidate for the Governorship last
fall, but it was sufficient to induce Boss Nc
Laughlin not to permit Mr.. Chaplin to run again
for Mayor, although the latter pleaded with his
political creator for vndication. A SOP was
thrown to him in the shape of the nomination
for Congress in the lid District, in which the
Democrats far outnumbered the Republicans,
but even there he only succeeded in being
elected by plurality less than half of that
customarily given in the district.
When Mayor Body came into Office he
recognized the Importance of the purchase of
the water company by the city, in order that
all the citizens might he on the same footing
in the matter of water supply. The desira-
bility of this is not open to question. There is
essential abslrdity in a private company sup
plying one ward of Brooklyn with water while
the other twenty seven wards are supplied at
the public cost in the approved and regular
method But Mr.. Body set his face sternly

THE TUO-THIRDS RULE.

"The wisdom of the two-thirds rule is, in
the opinion of The New York World" strong
IL illustrated by the situation at Minneapolis
the argument being that in the Republican
Convention under the majority rule Blaine and
Harrison are so nearly matched that either
might get majority on the first ballot which
would "send the party into the campaign in
q state of civil war within itself" On the
other hand. it SAYS: Under the two-thirds
rule the Democracy is spared the danger OF n
nomination offensive to half the party
every one to his taste" as the old woman
said when she kissed the COW, but in the light
of the history of the Democratic nominations
for the last fifty and their own experience for
thirty-six years, it is not probable that the Re-
publicans will change their habit or the rule.
The two-thirds rule is an anomaly. It's only
reason for being is TO prevent the nomination
of the real party leader: the most conspicuous
exponent of the party's doctrines and principles.
II has always been used for that purpose. Ii
has been the cause of more political intrigues,
plots and crooked complications than any other
one thing. 1t has handicapped conspicuous
service and trained craftsmanship, and put a
premium on obscurity and mediocrity. 1t gave
the country Polk in 1914 and Pierce in 49, ;
both obscure and feeble nonentitics, of no use
to anybody but the Southern slave-drlvers
and it led to the breaking up of the party at
Charleston in 1860. II is tho only thing that
cndangers to-day the nomination of the Dem
ocrat who to all appearances is the partys most
popular leader.
The Republican party is quite content with
the majority rule. 1t does not feel compelled
TO tie its own hands before going into con-
yention in order not to do itself mischief. 1t
looks back with satisfaction over the nine
previous National Conventions which have Sc
lccted the candidates Of the party by ma
jority vote it sees nothing to regret, either IN
the reception of the tickets so chosen by the
people, or in the Republican Administrations
which for twenty eight ont of thirty-two years
have conducted the Government.
