On our principal business street. right

blight upon San Francisco.
On the south side of Market street, oppo-
site the Baldw Hotel, Fakirs' row is in
full blast. There. from early morning
until late at night, hundreds of dollars are
obtained under false pretenses from men,
WON en- and children. More than that. In
one of these dens are sights which could
not exist were the police fully Informed
as to their nature.
Cappers, loafers and passers-by who are
attracted by the sounds that eminate from
the mushroom buildings blockade the
sidewalk and impede business.
Merchants in the vicinity complain that
their customers are insuted, that they are
driven to seek other quarters of the city
and that trade is being greatly damaged.
Visitors from other cities open their eyes
in astOnishment when they are shown the
main thorOughfare, and ask why such an
eyesore Is allow ed to exist.

not very tall man, still he looked down
on this "giani" and smiled. The other
"wonders" were not visible.
A disgraceful scene was the next one
witnessed. Scattered all over San Fran
cisco are flaming handbills which read,
From tire Worlds Fair Museum of An
atomy! Great wax works! For men only 2"
Then follows description and the loca-
tioa, which is given as S39 Market street.
Among the articles mentioned on these
bills are: Egyptian mummy. embalmed
1900 years ago; devil fish. porcupne fish,
seahorse fish. Gila monster. tarantula.
horned toads, ETC., etc., while the hand
bill further announces land 100 objects
not mentioned above"
The admission is 10 cents. The shanty
Is constructed OF pine and in dim sious
is about 12x12. Nailed on the wall are ex-
actlv thriy.one cans the size of cigar
boxes, and In these are clay representa-
tinns OF diseased PORTO 8 of the human
body. A more disgusting, outrageous ex-
hiDition was never before allowed to eX-
ist. Men who were fooled into coming in
were sickened at glance and beat a
hasty retreat. Two or three little boys.
however, were standing looking at the
| sights with open mouths. Not a lad goes
into that den but his mind Is polluted. If
Chief of Police Crowley knew what was
exhibited there he would have the place
pulled down In ten minutes. 1t is evident
that he does not. but for the sake of the
youth of San Francisco il is to be hoped
that he will investigate. When the repOr.
ter came out he asked a policeman who
was on the sidewalk if he was aware of
he disgusting nature Of the exhibition.
He replied that he was not; that he was
stationed there to keep the crowds nov
ing.
Another "StaDley's Giant" is the special
attraction for the next place. and the loud
mouthed capper explains that the giant is
nine feet high" More dimes were handed
out, and little tent about ten feet square
was entered. There was a curtain at the
end and small boy seated on q stool.
That's all
''De giant is eatin'," said the youth.
Five minutes later "de giant" was still
"eatin'." and inquiry in the vicinity led to
the belief that de giant" is always
''eatin'," SO that in this place one pays
| dime to see a curtain, small boy. and be
told that ''de giant Is eatin'."

who give exhibitions every half hour"
All over the exterior of his place are
daubs that represent,Or are supposed to, the
wonders to be witnessed. Inside is saw
duSt-cOvered floor and r0Okery from The
walls OF which nearly all the plaster has
fallen and more seems ready to drop on
the heads of visitors. A sharp-nosed
woman is sewing up the costume of
mulatto girl who is clad in yellow calico
with red vest and turban, evidently in imi-
tation Of a Turkish damsei. By her side
stands another similarly cOstumed and
also man who wears feZ. Gu a plat
form is boy in his shirt sleeves, turning
the crank OF a hurdygurdy. Near him is
a woman clad mainly in short skirt, and
also a half dozen mongrel ours resting in
chairs. The hurdygurdy stops and the
girl with mended dress, her companions
and the man with a feZ appear In the
doorway while the ticket-seller calls atten-
ton to them as three OF the score and more
Oriental beauties on exh bition. The
hurdygurdy starts up again. Inside are
several men, evidently farmers who have
been attracted by the glowing advertise
ments. There are also number of school
boys with books in their hands, fe W clerks
who were caught as they were passing by,
and one or two women-perhaps thirty peO-
pie in all.
Now. ladies and gentlemen, step this

she causes dog 10 jump through hoop,
another to push dolls carriage, another
to roll little barrel, then all to stand on

that nearly all dogs are taught
Now, step this way, gentlemen" says
the sharp-nosed woman again. She pulls
aside a Gu tain and TIE ''headless woman"
is seen. But the looking-glass arrange
ment is dirty, and anybody can see how
the trick is done. The "headless woman"
winks at some one in the crowd. Next is the
human spder-a boy who shoves his head
into a frame. This also is poorly done.
Then comes the three headed woman, the
most palpable "fake" of all. for she stands
boldly between three mirrors, like a man
won trying on a hat In a store.
That is all of this performance, gentle
men. Now step this way and see the
next"
At the rear of the rookery are signs
reading: "Women. Lovely Women"
Turkish Court Revieled"-the last word
evidently meant for 'revealed"-'See the
Mysteries of Paris. etc.," and also the
large sign, "For Men Only"
The further announcement Of the ex-

sharp osed woman caused every man in
the audience 10 pass behind the red curtain.
As the spectators consist almOs entirely

short-sighted girl, who said .'Ten cents,
please" as each man passed. Two or
three cappers paid the money, and of
course the visitors followed their ex-
ample.
Behind railing stood the girl with the
mended dress, her companion and the man
with the fez. One of the girls pounded
on what seemed to be the head of an old
drum and the other TWO stamped their feet
for exactly two minutes. This was the
Oriental dance. She of the sharp nose then
pulled aside a curtain and showed the
disappearing lady," 1t was the woman
of the no-head in the front room, this time
standing behind a box, her head and
shoulders visible.
Disappear" said the sharp-featured
dame.
The woman bobbed down.

1t was too evident. No only had the
men been duped. but the sharpers had the
nerve to poke fun at them.
One more figure was shown. 1t was
called 1.-The Story of Galatea." When the
curtain was drawn there appeared what

Now. you must know. gentlemen" said
she OF the sharp nose, that Pygmalion
was a married man. and bis wife became
jealous of Galatea and prayed she might
be turned to stone again. Now watch ber

The hand that meant to put the mask
over the face OF the triplicate individual
miscalculated its aim and it went one
SIDE, so the grinnng face OF the exhibitor
and the plaster mask of Galatea both ap-
peared as she of the sharp nose called out,
THAT is all, gentlemen"
How glad the men seemed of that side
entrance that let them out onto Market
street. In tan minutes Sc had been taken
from thirty persons. Faking pays fairly
well.
In front Of the next place gaudy pictures
were labeled Eva Evans" Chris
Evans" Jack the Ripper" ETC. There
was legend stating that "Stanley's great
giant was inside. and there were a score
