Men That Work With All the Precis-
ion Of Machinery

ion Of Machinery.
The circus trains had hardly stopped
at Fifteenth street yesterday morning
than a large number Of overhauled and
dirty shirted men jumped off the cars
and began enquiring for the show lot.
Each carried on his shoulder a bun
die OF long iron rods sharpened at one
end, with rings and red rags at the
When the direction Of the fair grounds
was given them they gave another
hitch 70 their suspenders and went
along with merry song and jest
They were the surveying gang or en-
gineer's corps and it was their duty to
locate the different tents. and stake off
the grounds with their iron stakes so
that when the wagons and tent hands
arrived from the trains they could go
Immediately to work
Everything took longer yesterday be-
cause it was Sunday and the men took
time.
The spectators to the work OF the
tent hands marvelled at the rapidity of
their work. Usually the same work
must be done in half the time.
When the tent hands arrived they
knew at q glance where each tent was
to be erected.
The first to go UP We're the stables
and dining and cooking tents There
were eight long stable tents with two
rows of horses in each, the circus car
ries its own harness and blacksmith
shops and these tents We're put up also.
The dressing and sideshow tents was
easy.
1t is the putting up Of the big tents.
the animal and circus tents that is
worth seeing
AT the menagerie tent gangs of men
run to dig the holes for the six center
poles, and gangs with sledge hammers
so around to drive the tent stakes.
These stakes are six feet long perhaps.
with iron rings about their heads. 1t
takes a very little time to drive one
since from four to eight men constitute
a gang.
Every boy and almost everyone that
ever was a boy has seen it done
The men stand about the stake after
it has been started, each with a heavy
sledge hammer i'm his hands which he
swings ait arms length. They strike in
rotation SO rapidly that the heavy ham
nler heads fan on the stake in a steady
patter until itis deep enough
The center poles are then laid out
each with its base at the hole intended
the poles are lifted and Strengthened
by the guys.
The canvas itself is rolled from the
wagons in big balls as big as snow
balls. Each is one section of the tent
roof.
When 1T was rolled the night before.
it was doubled three times and rolled
to a corner and tied into a ball IL is an
easy matter then to unrou all the can
vas until the edges meeting from the
TOD as the roof is called.
The sections are then laced together,
men take the pulley ropes and up the
top goes to the height of the poles in
the center and Tapping at the sides
It doesn't flap long, however. till the
side poles are pushed up and tied and
the tent is ready for the side wall
The side wall is the canvas that goes
around the sides Of the tent. Tt is laid
by. means of the ropes that afterWard
hold it ia place.

WONDERFUL ELEPHANrs.
Joseph Beatty. Their Trainer Talks
About Them.


About Them.
Joseph Beatty a little fellow with
firm chin and gray eyes has charge Of
the herd Of elephants with the Sells
Forepaugh show only week ago he
narrowly escaped with his life in Kan
sas City. Dick, a big elephant who was
not considered vicious, attacked him
and had it not been for the agility of
the trainer would have finished him in
short order.
Dick is not bad fellow" said Mr.
Beatty in an apologize tone. but all
male elephants have spells when they
are dangerous. L got this about three
months ago" and Mr.. Beatty pushed
back his hat and revealed frightilI
scar on the side of his head. ToEsy
threw me against wall [ have not
had much trouble. An elephant is
easy to handle as long as he behaves
himself. When he gets ugly he is
mighty hard to manage.
This is John L. Sullivan that used
to box. He was also a clown elephant
but we have dropped all that He is
the only talking elephant in the world
and is one of the most intelligent
ever had anything to do with The
big one next to him is Vic and she is
as jealous of him as she can be"
Mr.. Beatty went up to John and took
hold of his trunk. Vic ratified her
chains dangerously. John. are you hap
py2" questioned the trainer.
The elephant gave a squeak which
the trainer interpreted as meaning
yes.
Vic is very hard to manage" con
tinued Mr.. Beatty. I'm going through
the country if she sees q COW she viii
start out and catch it. She hugs it up
and let's it so She will do the same
thing with a pig or a horse. IF she sees
any one hurt a camel, it makes her al
most crazy. She has a special fondness
for cameIs and she would make short
work Of man who was whipping a
al n 11a +
allow any thing to be hurt if she can
help it,
We have only two of the African ell
ephants. They are wild and difficult to
teach and are altogether very unsatis-
factory. An elephant is easy TO train
as long as they do not think you are
making them work. AS soon as they
think that they usually get belky.
II have handled elephants five years
with this show and like the work We
work with them the year around.

SUNDAY SUN Is DEAD.
The Vile Sheet That Was Kansas City's

Kansas City, June 15.-The Kansas
City Sunday Sun is dead Innumer-
able lawsuits and jail sentences. to-

finally worried the scamp who ran the
sheet into giving up his avOcation.
The Sun, first issued in this city Sun
day, February %, 1890 from the
Fourth and Broadway was a few
months over six years old when it gave
UP the ghost in the Nelson building,
Maine ana Missouri avenue, June z.
That was the last date Of the Sun and
the Sunday News the latter issued as
quasi substitute, but the final gasp was
heard two days previously, when a pa
in others reprehensible, ended a care er
as notorious as that achieved by any
other journal in this country in the
same length of time.
The Sun was a financial success be
cause Kansas City people liked it. So
many of the besrirched rejOiced in see

ashamed to be seen reading this organ

1t went into many families and the
children devoured it. No determined
effort was ever made by public officers
in Kansas City to suppress it. With
a weak and demoralized public senti-
ment it thrived as many other vile
things in Kansas City thrive.
But it is dead.

ton for the New York Voice.
This must be entertaining to the high
moral readers Of the Voice.
