Who are these men, young and old,
who clamor for patronage at the close
of performance?
You have a carriage. They rush to
call it. Half dozen rush to call the
one carriage. Some one of them gets
it. says N. Y. correspondent of the
Boston Globe. They simultaneously
rush to the open door. They are in
your way; they embarrass your move
ments; each extends a hand for q
dime and the one who gets it is cursed
by the others.
Who are these who stand on bleak
corners, handing circulars, pro-
grammesP Who are these who come
to the house door when the shades OF
night have closed comfort and domes-
ticity within, and, ringing, ask enough
with which to buy a nights shelter!
Who are these that timidly and with
faint heart, late at night, sidle up to
passers along the streets and ask fol
helpP
Sometimes they are deadbeats.
Sometimes they are condensed offense,
stenchful and infamous, but oftener,
and indeed oftener than you think OF
imagine, they are men driven by ex-
tremity of distress and by perfect
regiment of woe to that last resort,
their wits. They are at their. wits
end for fire, for bath. for a bit O1
bread, for an unbroken shoe, for a mo-
ment's comfort.
You turn them from your door. The
police moves them on; the societies
with long names and deep pockets
take time to consider" their cases.
Who wonders that the prisons are
fullP
And yet, with an immensity of ter.
ritory yet to be occupied. titled and
made productive, with opportunities
for work in humble lines greater thar
ever before, with land whose needs
demand clear heads, stout hearts and
willing hands, there come into this
country every year hundreds of thou.
sands of babies without the faintest
natural endowment of work of any
kind, save that which is known as the
work of their wits.
They come into families where the
mother is worn out and the father
worked out. Neither has time tc
train the children in the way they
should go. The father plods along
dies and is forgotten. The mother
fades away, the girls get married and
the boys drift from one field to an
other, until finally they join the great
army of ragamuffins, living by THEN
wits and preying on their kind.

The Cook & Whitby English Circus and Men
agerie. which exhibited here ye sterday, was q
revelation to our people, of the possibilities of
genuine Old World Circus. and makes our well
known and hackneyed shows seem very shabby
and poor. indeed. by comparison. High class
equestrian and athletic exhibitions in the three
rings and the two elevated stages. new and new
er dreamed of by our American showmen, fol-
lowed each other in bewildering succession.
amazing and confounding the imm ense audi
ence.whlle the numerous clown acts interpreted
would throw them into commissions of laughter
and merriment. We cannot praise Cook & Whit
by too highly. Their parade. nearly mile in
length. was a succession of open dens. band
wagons and blooded horses. all blazing in gold
silver, and silk. their MenageIie the most ex-
tenslve one ever viewed. their Circus and Hip
podrome performance immeasurably superior to
any we know, or have ever witnessed. The bal
loon ascensioDs were successfully accomplished,
while the various free exhibitions during the
day would more than equal the entire stock in
trade of ninety-nine per cent. of the shows that
have ever visited Cleveland. We heartily wish
them the success in their American tour, they so
highly merit. and are glad to have made the per-
sonal acquaintance of the managers, in tbs
that we have never met more courteous and
obliging gentlemen.-[Cleveland Journal.

small sensation was created at Sandy Lake
last Friday. by the actions of young man from
Cleveland, consequent on his learning of the
engagement of certain young lady to marry
some one other than himself, claiming that she
had promised to accompany him to the matri-
monial altar as his bride. The Young lady.
who had been at the Lake some little time.
thought best to accompany him back to Cleve-
land, to quiet him, and rid herself of an un-
pleasant notoriety occasioned by his conduct.
She has, we understand, since returned to the
Lake.
Curby Adams, of Kent, was arrested Monday
on warrant sworn out before Justice Dickin-
son, by George w. Fritz. Fritz is proprietor
of a public hall in Sufield in which there was a
dance and fight last Friday night during the
course of which he attempted to eject Adams,
whom he claims was especially troublesome and
belligerent, from the room. Adams resisted by
grabbing Mr.. Fritz by the throat, hence the ar
rest. The defendant was charged with assault,
disturbing public meeting. and swearing by
the name of God and Jesus Christ. He pleaded
guilty to disturbance, for which he was fined
| $500 and costs; and to swearing, which cost
him 81 90 and costs.

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua. May 26.-Presi-
dent Sacaza has sent n second commission
TO treat with the revolutionary party and
endeaYOr to make terms 1t is believed,
however, that this commission will be as
unsuccessful as the first was. as Sacaza has
imposed as one oil his principal conditions
of peace that his adherents, if not himself
personally. shall retain part control of the
new government. The Government at
MaBagua has information that id is being
extended to the revolutionists from Costa
Rico.
GUATEMALA, May 26-Commissioner
from Nicaragua, sent by President SacaZa
have arrived here to ask this Government
for aid and Intervention to put down the
revolution, but President Barrios refuses
TO interfere until he has consulted the
other Central American republics, and
principally Salvador, as according to the
existing treaty none of the Central Ameri-
can republics can interfere in the internal
affairs of another.
1t is known that Honduras is Inclined to
take a hand In Nicaraguan affairs.
Direct communication with Nicaragua
continues very difficult, owing TO the cut
ting OF telegraph wires and TO other in ter
ruptions in the transmission of news.
Sacaza is reported to be unable to control
his troops. who are said to be committing
all kinds of eXcesses, thus embittering the
people more and more against him,

NEW YORK. May 26-The Tribune will

Maxwell Evarts, who was associated with
Joseph 81. Choate as counsel for the Six
Companies, Judge Lacombe has written
an opinion in the case of Ng Look. the
Chinaman who was arrested several days
ago.
The Judge ordered that he be deportpd
as soon as provision was made for carrying
out the Geary law, but set MIN at liberty
in the mean time Choate caused the
arrest of the man for an important reason.
He felt that Judge in this city would
not order that Cinnamon be kept under
arrest pending the arranging to put the
Geary law into effect, but Western Judge
might.
Copies of Judge Lacombe's opinion have
been sent to the Attorney-GeneraI at
Washington ana Will reachaevery United

SPEAKING OF SILVER.
Why No More Dollars Will Be
Coined at Carson.

WASHINGTON. May 26-The order sus-
pending the coinage of silver dollars at
the United States mint at Carson City
after the 1st of July has caused a number
of inquiries to be made as to the policy in
tended by this stoppage. The reason
given for the suspension is that these
coins are not needed, there being no de-
mand for the redemption of treasury notes
in silver dollars. 1t is considered useless,
therefore, to keep on piling up coins for
switch there is no demand or use. The
expense of coinage is very heavy. and by
this suspension a great saving can be
effected at the various mints
No silver dollars are beng coined at
San Francisco or New Orleans and but
very few at Philadelphia. In fact the
only coinage now being executed is that
OF fractional silver at Philadelphia. San
Francisco add New Orleans, and this is
made out of worn fractional silver coins
taken out OF circulation, and the differ
ence in weight is made up from silver ur-
chased under thr special appropriation
made by Congress for that purpose.

1T SEARCHES FOR FLAWS
Special to THE MoRScNe CALL.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Colonel Reeve
solicitor of the treasury. said to-day ::
There will be some trouble over the fact
that the Chinese registration act does not
expressly state who is 10 have charge Of
the deportation Of the Chinese. Section
of the act does not cover it, but this
question is not new one. immigration
otfi eTs have several times had to contend
with this embarrassment"
The Cabinet had the Chinese question
under consideration incide utally to-day.
The exclusion laws and registration act
were discussed, as we'll as the duties here
tofore performed by the several depart
ment officers in executing the laws aud
the means to be adopted in the future.
The question as 10 whether The arrest and
imprisonmen is merely Il summary pro-
ceeding or Il punishment for crime was
also discussed, but no decided opn-
ions we're advanced. On this point will
rest the decision as to whether the Chi
nese are to have jury trials rs guaranteed
by the constitution for those charged with
criminal offenses.
The State Department officials say that
they have received no advices to the effect
that the new Chinese Minister to this
country will delay his departure for the
United States until his Government re-
ceives some reply from the State Depart
ment regarding the exclusion law, although
statement to this effect was cabled to the
American newspapers.
The New York Sun has printed long
Washington dispatch declaring that there
would be midsummer session of Congress,
to meet not later than August /, principally
n tbn pf ia
and incidentally, it is presumed, TO either
appropriate money for the deportation of
the Chinese or to give the SIX Companies
an opportunity to work for the repeal or
modification of the Geary law. if they are
powerful enough to accomplish either
object
Represen tstive McMiIlin. who will be
the leader OF the next House, would GER
tainly know if the President had such an
intention, but he said to THE CALL cor
respondent to-day that he thought there
would be no extra session until the middle
of Septe mber.
Reports received at the Treasury Depart
ment indicate larger registration of Chi
nese than at first anticipated. So far. re-
ports from forty-niDe out of sixly-,hree
internal revenue districts of the United
States show that 1928 Chinese have
registered. The latest returns from the
Pacific States are as follows: First Cali
fornia district. 2322; fourth California.
252S; Oregon, 1915.

desire to reside in California and hoped
some time to be able to crafty that ambi-
ton. He was perfectly delighted with the
display the State is making.
The great relief map of the State being
made by Willard B. johnson is highly
praised by men of undoubted authority in
such matters as the finest and most ex-
tensive map of the character ever made.
After the fair the map will 60 to the
University of Chicago. and negotiations
are pending for similar map fIom the
same molds for the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition and one for the Stanford University.
Johnson has lost great deal Of money,
as he took the contract much too low, and
the commissioners say that if they have
any surplus funds at the close of the fair
they Will certainly donate something to
him. They consider the map a fine ad-
veItsement. 1t is now being colored and
lettered. and will be completed about the
first OF the month.
The open fair on Sundays has caused
some worry to the commissioners. as they
do not know exactly what to do. They
have decided, however, as the exhibit in
the building is not in complete shape, that
they will have no attendants present on
Sunday. and that, while the building will
not be opened, the guards will have in
structions not to deny any one admittance
who desires TO see the display in its ua-
finished condition. 1t is very probable
that ii the fair is kept open on Sunday the
State building will be kept open also, but
that will depend largely on what the CON-
missfOnerS from other States do.
The commissioners are very much in
censed at the criticisms which are being
made by the press at home, and by Cali
fornians who visit the fair, on the state of
the display. While they admit that it is
impossible to show all the resources of the
State in this small display so far from
home, they have so far exceeded other
States that they receive encomiums from
citizens of the entire Eastern country, and
that, they say. is what they are here for.
