ever given in this city. The half dozen
toreadors were at their best, and their
many daring feats brought forth rounds
of appreciation. The bronco handling
and steer tying and throwing was mar
velous and showed that the expert
Mexicans were UP to date in their busi-
ness. The wild bulls were, of course,
the feature of the performance, and it
was at times extremely interesting.
Several of the toreadors had narrow es-
capes from injury. The sport was
novelty to the majority of those pres
ent, and they seemed to hugely enjoy
the entertainment 1t was voted a sue
cess in every way, so much so that the
exhibition will be repeated next Sunday
afternoon. 1t will be the last chance
to witness the skilled bull fighter, Capt.
Term, and his expert toreadors in these
parts, as they leave for home next week.
The affair was splendidly managed and
highly acceptable to the humane Off
GERS who were present. The successful
and satisfactory termination Of the ex-
hibition is due to Mr.. Joseph Watkins,
who had the matter in charge. On Sun
day next popular prices will prevail.

A Pine Concert

What can be said in favor of the Schu-
bert Male quartet of Chicago that all
musical people do not already know?
For fourteen years this grand and popu-
lar organization has made for itself a
reputation and standing that places it
as one of the two finest quartets in
America, the other being the old Temple
quartet of Boston. Tomorrow evening
all lovers of classical and popular music
will have an opportunity Of hearing, at
the Simpson tabernacle, this great
quartet, and their harp soloist, Miss
Frances Hughes, who is one of the best
on the concert stage. Tickets will be on
sale at all the music stores today.
The Memphis Commercial-Appea1
lately said Of these artists: 'The clos
ing concert of. the: Y. M. c. A. auditor
ium course was enjoyed by an audience
Of 1000 or more people. The Schuberts
Of Chicago was the attraction. The
audience was an appreciative one, and
every number was encored. The per-
formers were generous in their re-
sponses, returning sometimes two or
three times. The quartet is composed
Of superb singers, who are always well
come guests in Memphis. Miss Hughes,
seated at her golden harp, makes a pic
ture of rare beauty, and as her fingers
sweep the strings harmony Of sound is
added to the harmony of poise. She is
an artistic and graceful performer, and
was received with unbounded ap-
plause."

A F0NDNEsS FOR CHICKENS
Wears Union Suits and Carries Ladies' Hose
in His Pockets

After something of chase, Officer Tai
amantes yesterday afternoon captured
an alleged chicken thief on Upper Main
street. He was a hobo-looking fellow by
the name Of A. H. Mum, and had in his
possession a dead chicken, which he had
taken from a yard at the corner of
New High and Marchessault streets.
Mum had wrung the fowls neck, so as
to handle it easier, and was making
tracks for some place in which to cook
and eat it when captured.
Upon being searched at the station,
in his pockets were found several pairs
Of ladies' hose and upon his body a
lady's union suit. This was too small
for Mum, so he had thrust his legs into
the neither portion of the garment and
had the rest tied around his waist. From
appearances somebody's clothesline had
suffered. The chicken and stockings
were held as evidence, and Mum rele-
gated to cell on petty larceny charge.

WITH THE COUNCIL TODAY
City Taxes Will Be Delinquent This After

The finance committee will not today
report recommending that the council
extend the time for the payment of
taxes for a period of fifteen days, as
was yesterday stated.
Councilman Snyder was in favor Of
such recommendation, but Council
men Stockwell and Blanchard, mis- COL
leagues upon the committee, object to
such a report. AS a result, city taxes
become delinquent at o'clock this even
ing, unless the council as a whole takes
action in the matter.

BRAIN This blow is really the pivot
blow, made famous in the prize ring
by La Blanche, the Marine" Its use
is now prohibited at all prize fights,
because of the great danger of its re-
sulting fatally. But the bankers adopt
ed it generally because of its certainty
to render an obstreperous person I'M
conscious.
In the old days the bankers were
clannish. They would put up a glori-
Gus fight against one another for the
possession of a customer, but if a pc
destrian assaiged one of their num-
bers they would all take hand in the
fracas. And on the rare occasions when
barker was arrested, they would
march 20 the court room, and in a
solid bunch swear to the innocence of
the accused. They would assert that
the victim had begun the light out OF
pure wanfonness, and that the poor
hardworlling barker had to defend him
self as best he could.
THE ONLY MEN THEY FEARED.
Oldtime pugilistic lights of the Bow
cry, contemporaries on Joe Coburn and
men of that ilk, found their chief
pleasure in walking through Baxter
street at night, in the hope that some
in. These were the only men the bar
kers stood in fear Of Experience had
taught them that they would receive
such a severe drubbing before friends
could come 10 the rescue that lit did not
pay TO begin hostilities.
An innocent might inquire how could
a person be forced to buy after he had
been dragged into a store The ques-
ton is easily answered. The statesmen
were brow-beating thugs of the first
water, and they frightened the average
man out of his life. If he refused to
hand over 81 for a 60-cent coat, he was
thrown down stairs, and then invited
to walk up again and buy. In some of
the stores it was the custom to hustle
a man up to the top floor, and, then, if
ne refused to buy, he was pitched down
one flight of stairs after another by
statesmen at each landing. When he
landed at the bottom he generally com
sidered that it was best to escape with
his life by spending the money he had
in his clothes. Later, il he complained
to the police, the owner of the store,
the statesmen and the bankers would all
Soiemnly swear that he had never been
in the place and that he had made
some mistake. Generally that ended
it, as the police were not anxious to
jeopardize the fat revenues of Baxter
street
The barker of today is a tame affair.
He contents himself with yelling out
the glorieS of his wares and holding up
a possible customer by buttonholing
him. He seldom drags a. man i'm bodily,

DO WITHOUT TROLLEY POLES.
Che1nnitz Has Adopted System OF
Ornamental Rosettes.

Chennitz Has Adopted a System of
Ornamental Rosettes.
Chemnitz, saxony, two years ago
banished horses from her street cars
and substituted the trolley. In a report
to the state department Consul j. C.
Monaghan says one OF the principle
novelties of the adopted system is that
no poles are used. The method of
stringing wires is by means of orna-
mental rosettes fastened into the wood
work or walls of houses, having pro-
jecting hooks to which the wires are
attached. These hooks are firmly
fastened and are tested with seven
times the weight they will be called
upon to bear. Owners of houses, with
out exception, preferred to allow the
use of their houses free rather than
have poles on the sidewalk. The streets
through which the cars wind their way
are wider than Washington street,
Boston, or Westminster street, Provi-
dence. The railway tracks, in con-
formity to the law, are level with the
pavement and accidents to vehicles of
rover than in America, but the cars
keep the track and run as rapidly and
smoothly as in the United States. In
the heart of the city they run 220 yards
per minute and in the suburbs $50
yards per minute, says the Scientific
American. The increase of traffic since
the introduction of electricity in
Chemnitz has been 60 per cent.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

If the barker went to Jail for his COM
mercial enthusiasm his pay went on.
and when he came out he was hero.
The diamond belec;led daughter Of the
original Harris Cohen would smile upon
him, and he would reign until another
barker came out of the lookup for half
killing a doubling purchaser. Perhaps
the fact that all of the daughters Of he
original Harris Cohen have married and
live in uptown mansions has taken the
zest out of Baxter street life. Al of
the bankers used to live in the hope
of winning one of the Cohen girls in
marriage. A hundred thousand dollars
went with each one, and thai was q
prize worth striving for. The old man
was worth $4,000, COO and took good care
of his SonS-in-laW.
The passing of the barker marks the
death of about the last feature of Old
downtown life. Up to five years ago the
puliers-in of Baxter street formed one
of the sights OF the city. Strangers
were taken there by those who knew
the ropes, and they saw enough to
wonder at for the next six months.
The reform of the police department
is probably responsible Tor the changed
condition of affairs. There is little doubt
that in the old Gays the owners of the
stores welded a potent influence in po-
lice circles, as the man who had been
outra geoussy assaulted received cold
comfort when he complained to the po-
lice. If an honest policeman attempted
to interfere with the work of the bark

sketched at this time
Vermont first came into prominence
by an act of British parliament author
izing its discovery by Rudyard Kip
ling. At that time IT was of little inn
portance, being but a province de-
pendent upon maple sugar for its live
lihoed. Mr- Kipling set to work at once
to institute modern forms of govern
ment by appointing the Green Noun
tain Boys to positions of trust. They
were a religious sect Of the sturdiest
convictions and by instinct were forest
ers and husbandmen. They. gave con-
siderable attention to the cultivation
of pine trees and it was not long before
their labor was rewarded by a large
crop. of pine-tree shillings
