USE STALE BEER.
City Building to Be Given Cleansing
Bath.

It developed in the council meeting
last night that stale beer would be used
to wash the stone and pressed brick
work of the new city building. Architect
Holland stated that stale beer was the
best liquid that could be used to clean
the mortar spots from the building and
that a thorough bath in that liquid
would prevent the Colorado sandstone,
which is used in the trimmings, from
staining the brick under it. Cider vine
gar and muriatic acid We're formerly
used for this purpose, but the vinegar is
too expensive and the acid Injuries the
brick. The stone could be painted but
paint ruins the beauty of the stone. Oil
brings out the color of the brick and
makes it brighter but to oil the city
building would cost $3.50, which is con-
sidered too expensive. If it is decided
that oil is needed it can be done at any
time. The common brick will probably
be painted with a special paint that is
manufactured for the purpose. Ordinary
paint soon peels from brick and in a
short time makes it look worse than it
did before painting. The addition to the
city prison will be painted with this new
paint and if it looks and works all right
it will be used on the common brick in
the city building.

CIRCUS CLOWNS.
Press Agent of Wallace Shows Dis
cusses Their Origin.

In an interview with Harry L Middle
ton, press agent of the great Wallace
shows which comes to the city Friday,
August II, in regard to when the first
clowns were introduced in the circus
business, he said:
1.-THE clown dates his origin back to
the very beginning of the circus itself,
and from time immemoral he has been
one of the most important features
During the growth, development and
improvement in everything else he has
by no means been left behind. He is
funnier now and can do more tricks
than ever before.
I'm the old days on clown sufficed to
satisfy the show-goers but now it takes
twenty-five for the Great Wallace
Shows. Nowadays the clown who could
not do anything but grin and drive a
donkey that played a tattoo with its
hind heels on the dashboard of a little
cart could not get job in ten years.
He has to be versatile or lose his posi-
ton.
Clowns must be great masters in the
knockout act. If they were not, there
would be a few dozen broken bones ev-
cry afternoon and evening. The more
kicks, blows and knockdownS that the
clown receives the greater the glee and
happiness of the audience. So the gen
tleman must be past master in the art
of falling down and pretending to give
and to receive bone breaking blows
Some times the pretense gag won't
work and the real thing has to take it's
place. Then the clown resorts to the
science of padding. He puts enough
pads underneath his loose fitting gar
ments to protect him even in a railroad
wreck. When thus accoutered the clown
is beaten, kicked and dubbed until
the audience shreclzs itself into tears
and the clown is none the worse off.
But the acrobatic work is only a
small part of the clowns performance.
You can scarcely ind a humorous
phase of life which the clown does not

ASKED PROTECTION.
Dom Paul Begged American As
siStance When Pretoria Fell.

London Aug 14-President Kruger, at
one time made formal application to
the United States to grant him sane
tuary in case the necessity for it arose.
This occurred, according to Secretary of
State Reitz of the Transvaal republic
the day Lord Roberts entered Pretoria.
The details of the event have been rela-
ted to representative of the Associated
Press by Mr.. F. W. Unger, who has just
returned from the Transvaal and who Sc
cured the information from Secretary
Reitz and others. After quoting the Sec
rotary as saying President Kruger
would never take to the mountains on
account of his age, but would retreat
down the line finally escaping to Portu-
guese territory. Mr. Unger said that the
day the British entered Pretoria, Presl-
dent Kruger sent for Mr. W. Stanley
Hollis, the United States consul at 1-or-
EMO Marques and Mr. Hollis was taken
to Machadodorp in special car Presl-
dent Kruger asked him II his govern
ment would grant him an asylum in
Lorenzo Marques consulate, until he, MI
Kruger, made other arrangements Icr
his departure President Kruger express
ed fears concerning his treatment by the
Portuguese government and wished to
guard against any possible landing par
ties. Mr.. Hollis asked for him to consult
with his government and PRESIDENT hru-
ger assured him he would. receive
weeks notice before putting the plan in
to execution. In consequence OF this
city's proximity to the Transvaal and
the transmission Of President Kruger S
request to Washington, Mr.. Hollis re-
ceived instructions from Secretary Hay
not to leave Portuguese territory again
He was thus compelled to neglect the in
terests of the British prisoners at Nooit
Geedacht, where there was great suffer-
ing.
Mr.. Unger in conclusion said:
Il make this explanation in justice to
Mr.. Hollis, whose act has been rnlsun-
derstood in America and Great Britain
Mr.. Unger did not know whether the
state department eventually gave
specific answer to President KTuger's re-
quest.
