FOREPAUGH AND SELLS BROTH
ERS' CIRCUSES.
The perseverance, of the Japanese people
In all they undertake Is without doubt
one of their most notable characteristics,
not excepting their remarkable claim for
distinction through the fact that they
have no less than nineteen different Ian
guages within their own borders in which
majority of the people are versed. Els
pecially is their perseveran % notable in
regard to the amusement performers, who
are almost without exception trained from
infancy in the athletic arts and who
reach state of proficiency seldom seen
among the other peoples of the earth. In
this oriental country, however, the pro
fessional performers do not come from
the middle and lower classes as is the
case in the other old-world nations, but
tn /, royalty itself INDUCES in juggling,
wrestling and scrobatic pleasures and is
often seen in public performances.
While on visit to the Flowery Land
Mr.. Peter Sells, general manager of the
combined Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers circuses, witnessed an exhibit
ton of Prince Ssnbro's experts, and i'm
mediately set about to secure the troupe
for an American tour. But the Prince
would not agree to leave his native cline
to come among the restless people of the
new wo rid, as he thought. Here it was,
however, that American perseverance
triumphed over that of the Mikado's
realm and soon the royal company were
ocean bound for this country. Their ap-
pearance is one of the sensational feat
ures Of the Forepaugh-Sells circus. which
will be seen here on Tuesday, June g.
They are accredited with giving the most
remarkable exhibition of hazardous dag
ger walking, sword swallowing and BAN
boo balancing feats ever attempted by
the sons of the Orient, and score OF
other acts essentially different from those
of other Jap troupes.

ANOTHER SHAMEFUL CASE.


l
| Man Named Frank Taral.
Special Officer Dan Healy Of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and Police Sergeant Dolan yes
terday arrested Frank Taral, cobbler
who has a shop at Fifteenth and *
streets, on charge of criminally as
saulting fourteen year-old girl
Healy had long known that Taral was
in the habit of having young girls visit
his den, but the fellow was sharp
enough to generally confine his atten-
ton to those whose age was just be-
yond the limit of that over which the
law extends it's protection. Recently.

plasned he had secured another victim

bility OF her family.
Tarafs iates. victim, when con-
frcntef. with proofs of her almost daily
visits to Tara2s den, made complete
confession I'D swore to complaint
before Justice Henry, and Tara1 was
arrested. She says that he enticed her
into his place, as she was passing, and
then piled ne. with beer until she was
in a condition that left her at his mercy
"a quality which is a stranger to his
composition. After that he would can
her in frequently, almost daily in fact,
and generally gave her beer to drink.
The neighbors say they have seen
the girl stopped by Taral and induced
to enter his cobbler's shop and then
have seen him go for beer. Healy has
found other respectable young girls in
the neighborhood who will testify that
Taral has stopped them and tried to
get them to enter his place, which, by
the way, is close by the Sacramento
! Grammar School.
Taral of course denies the charge.
He is a man between 30 and 60 years
of age. Justice Henry fixed his bail
at $4,000, but Taral spent the night in
