WILDE GETS TWO YEARS.
The Aesthetic Authority Con-
demned to Hard Labor.

London, May 25.-The SEN
sational trial of Oscar Wilde
on the charge of immoral prac-
tees resulted in a verdict of
guilty and the prisoner was
sentenced to two years .impris-
onment at hard labor. Alfred
Taylor, Wilde's associate, was
also sentenced to two years
Imprisonment.
The jury found Wilde guilty
on all the counts of the indict-
ment. The announcement of
the virdlct caused a great SEN
sation in court, as it was the
general impression that Wilde
would escape conviction. After
a short interval the judge call
led Wilde and Taylor, who was
convicted of immoral practices
last week, to the bar, and they
were each sentenced to two
years. Imprisonment at hard
labor.

DRIVING STAKES FOR THE
CIRCUS TENTS.

First comes the driving Of the
stakes, no slight task, since each
stake is four or five feet in length,
two or three inches thick, and has
to be driven three fourths Of its
length into hard ground. Between
two hundred aud three hundred
blows of the sledge are required to
get stake home. The sledges have
handles three feet long and heads
that weigh seventeen pounds; they
must be swung high in the air, and
be brought down with the full
force of pair of strong arms. There
ARE over thousand Of these
stakes to be driven, which means
two hundred and fifty thousand
blows of the sledges. But for their
special skill, this work alone would
take the men half a day. They viii
do it easily in forty-fve minutes.
They begin with the "big top" tent,
which is NAKED out four hundred
and forty feet in length and one
hundred and eighty feet in width.
There are three hundred and fifty
stakes to be driven here, and four
gangs of men, Of seven or eight
men each, are charger to drive them.
The leader of each gang places the
stake where the iron rod stood, taps
it two or three blows to make it
stand alone, and then with nod
signals the gang to begin striking.
The seven men stand i'll a circle
around the stake, their sledges ready.
Each man swings his sledge through
full circle, the heavy hammers
coming down on the iron head of
the stake in regular and rapid sue
cession. Each man strikes about
one blow second, so that the stake
receives seven blows second. So
skilful are the men that they never
miss a blow, never interfere with
each other, aud never vary from
the musical rhythm, set by the
leader-Cleveland Moffett, in Nc
Clure's Magazine for June.
