A SUPERB SHOW.
Wallace Bros. Big Circus surpasses All
Expectations.

|
Wallace Bros. Big Circus Surpasses All
Expectations
The big Wallace shows arrived in the
city early Wednesday morning from
Jackson, Ohio, and the hurry and bus
tie Of unloading the two long special
trains was instantly apparent The
loading and unloading of a monster
circus and menagerie is one of the
most interesting sights of the show
business and hundreds of people con-
gregated on Butler and Second streets
to witness the task of emptying the
cars of their freight. The celebrity
with which this work is done by a
first-class organization is always mar
velous, and the Wallace show is man
aged with probably the finest system
of any on the road.
The big tents went up like'magic on
the show grounds at Greene and Fifth
streets and in few hours the splendid
collection of horses and other animals
were properly housed. The parade
| formed with the smooth, rapid and
wonderful precision of perfect manage
ment and passed over the principal
streets Of the city. Notwithstanding
the fact that the show has been con-
stantly on the road for over five months
the horses, wagons and entire equip
ment are in splendid condition and the
parade was one of the best ever seen
in Marietta.
The performance itself is of the most
superior quality and far above the av-
erage Of the usual big circus. Many
of the features, notably the Nelson and
Werntz families, are marvellous in the
difficult feats performed. The show is
not made tresome with old fashioned
clown work and as whole is a we'll
balanced and interesting entertain
ment The menagerie contains a
choice selection of animals in sufficient
number to furnish a half hours in
structive lesson in natural history to
any one.
The show appears to be remarkably
free from the usual retinue of fakirs
and gamblers and is managed by gen.
tlemen. Mr. f. j. Buckley, press
agent, places us under Obligations for
an insight into the manner of conduct
ing so vast an institution on clean and
correct business principles.
The attendance at Wednesday after
moons performance was somewhat in
terfered with by the excessive heat,
bht the great canvas was filed in the
evening. The show left oyer the 3. &
O. 5. w. early this morning for Athens,
where they will give two performances
today.

greatest football teams in the country
has spent several summers in the bag
gage cars of a Chicago road, while po-
sitions as conductors ON electric lines
are quite commonly accepted.
OF all student jobs, canvassing is the
most universal. Chances TO sell on
commission are always open, and when
boy possesses the proper gift of CAB,
he can reap a big harvest off a good
natured public.
Indeed there are stories current OF
smoothfaced. glib-tongued divinity
men who GO on the road in ministerial |
Prince Alberts, and sell expensive re-
ligious books. Without exactly saying
so they make the farmers feel that l.
would mean a positive lack of pieiy
should they refuse to buy, and it is said
that more than one student has nctted
S4OO and $500 during q summers vaca-
ton.
Driving laundry wagons is remunera-
tive employment, not only during the
summer, but also through the school
year. \ student will usually give his
colleague the preference over outside
laundry men. In nearly every college
shirt laundries must therefore pay q
commission to some student agent.
Life insurance and real estate have
| also been worked, though with less fre-
| quent success. Advertising soliciting,
on the other hand, appears more cou-
genial 1t requires considerable bust
ness ability besides the gift of gab.
A student at the University of Chicago.
wko had both qualifications, solicited
| for the college paper, printed the scores
of games with advertisement and finally
undertook publishing schemes of some
magnitude. Starting at college practic-
ally penniless, he cleared as much as
$3.50 during the last summer.
Newspaper writing attracts large
number. The much-to-be-pitied city
editor can testify TO this. Every June he
is overwhelmed with applications from
'grinds" who had "A's" in English com
position and who cannot unders aud
Why their classmates who pulled only n
&c minus" should get steady Job,
while they themselves must look on.
Those who wish to be free from stress
and excitement generally take Jobs on
farms at long hours and small paw.
This seems to be speciality rather of
the western than of the eastern student.
The money-making schemes that
brainy men devise are practically in.
Vulnerable. All sorts Of positions from.
those of the meanest day laborer to that
of an experienced business man n. a
high salary are filed, and a summer va
cancy is hardly conceivable for which
some properly qualified college mar
may not present himself.

Quite a harvest is reaped by taking
shorthand notes and selling type-writ-
ten copies of lectures. All such work
is practically unknown in western in
stitutions, where even the weather.
boys find it neither necessary nor finan-
cially convenient to employ tutors.
But in the east, also, every boy is not
adapted for tutoring. as only those with
high standing can get the work. So
less dignified jobs are resorted to. For
one, waiting on tables is quite COM
mon. This pays about 25 cents
an hour, or so many hours a week in
payment of board. Room rent is Sc
cured free of charge in return for por-
ter service.
Odd jobs of all sorts are accepted. At
Northwestern university one of the
boys, class of '94, looked after the lawn
and garden of the Greek professor, sold
papers at the street corner, rented
boats one summer, and during the
freshman year even took to shining
shoes. He came to college with just
eight dollars in his pocket and left four
years later with diploma, library of
books, full dress suit, all debts paid,
and little the worse for wear of a few
years struggle.
The writer is acquainted with a
young man of % who got his A. r. from
Harvard university this June. He came
TO college with IA cents, a good brain
and a healthy body, and, last, but not
least, an indomitable lot of Yankee
pluck. BY taking extra studies he com
pleted the four years course in three
years.
From peddling newspapers and dick
ering in advertising schemes, the work
of his freshman year, he rose to prom
inence as a private tutor and newspaper
writer. He has been leader in intel
lectual and social spheres and besides
has spent both his vacations in Eu-
ropean pleasure trips.
Ordinarily the great time for making
money is the summer vacation. Il is
the busy season, and boys find work
as walters or clerks. Two years
ago a professor at Wisconsin nm
versity went on fishing trip in the
lakes. He met ragamuffin fisher
man, bare footed, and with a huge straw
hat. The fisherman doffed his hat and
the professor recognized his honor

\ corps of Ann Arbor students find.
regular work as deck hands on Miss

two summers, is now the ship steward

is wealthy he prefers to send his boy
tosome fashionable eastern institution,
and so our youthful aristocracy is cen
tered at Yale. Harvard, Amherst,
Brown and few other eastern schools.
Yet the very presence of this rich
element enables a great many poor
boys 10 attend these same aristocratic
institutions. In the first place money
flows easily and enables all sorts OF
elaborate business schemes 10 be ad.
vanced. Then, too, poor men make a
great deal of money by tutoring the
rich chaps. Such private teaching
consists largely in filing up boy who
has been too lazy to attend classes reg
ularly with hurried review of his
courses. just before the final examin-
ations Harvard and Yale undergrad

Each student pays S1.5O to $500, and.
as the classes sometimes number over
fifty, tutors have been known 10 earn
