CIRCUS LEMONADE.
The Business of Watering the Thirsty
PUBLIC at the Circus


There is the usual quota of red lemon
ade stands and fakirs with the Ring
3ings. This morning they were busy
getting their wares unpacked and their
stands erected. The men with checked
shirts and a dissipated cOuntenance
worked rapidly and earnestly. Honey
comb popcorn done up in cOlored tissue
paper was dug out of the boxes in large
quantities. The peanut tray was next
and then the lemonade cans. One man
poured water into a long can to rinse it
while another actually squeezed juice
from some lemons. In a short time sew
eral gallons of lemonade with a beauti-
full red tint was being stirred and with
q few other arrangements the stands
were in shape to do business. There
were other stands too. Many colored
people, who have prOfted by past ex-
perienceS have set up refreshment
stands and the circus grounds will ring
with the cries of wares
The ice wagon was literally patroniz-
ed. When the iceman had delivered the
article, the stand man said: You'll be
back again this afternoon? I'll pay you
Ghen.'
mo, you pay me now" said the Ice
nan.

BOY THAT WAS WHIPPED
Exhibited by His Father and the
Story Seems Exaggerated.

Oliver Evans of 1928 Hancock street in
dignantly denies the stories of his neigh
bors and the police that he has mall
treated his S-year-old son.
Mr.. Evans said today: 1.-The report
that I abused the boy so that he had to
be carried into the house yesterday is
base fabrication. do not deny that I
whipped him but I struck him only five
or six times. He disobeyed me and took
a small raw hide and struck him with it.
He not only did not have to be carried
into the house afterward but came in
and brought a bucket of coal with him.
The police did come to the house and
ask about the boy last night and I sup
pose some one complained to them, but
I was not arrested. I went to the police
station and asked Chief Steele if he
wanted me and he said he did not. am
a poor man and have to work by the day
for my living and do not want to rest
under such cloud this"
Johnny Evans, the boy who was whip.
ped was with his father and verified
what he said. The boy is a bright-loOk
ing lad, and certainly did not look like
his spirit had been materially broken.

New York, Oct. 4.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: There was a decidedly better
feeling in cotton to-day and the conviction
that prices are low enough seems to be
gaining ground The Liverpool advlces
were encouraging. Spots sales there were
larger and that market advanced one and
one-half to two sixty-fourths. our mar
ket showed little animation at the open
ing and prices ranged on the call from
three points above to two points below
the closing figures of Saturday. January
sold at 6.35c. Liverpool was selling here
and after the opening the market weak
ened, January declining to 6.32c. The SELL
ing pressure was soon exhausted, howeV-
er receipts were quite moderate and the
temper of the market changed again. The
small loss was quickly recovered, and in
the afternoon the market scored a good
advance and closed firm, with 6.41c bid for
January The character of the buying to-
day was good. We favor buying on
breaks"
