Oldest of Modern EmpIoyment..

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Everyone who has seen the moving pic
ture or kaleidoscope exhibitions, which are
a common feature OF vaudeville shows,
must have been struck by the fact that
these pictures prove that many people
especially women, make a living posing
or going through all sorts Of action for
moving pictures. A few days ago per-
sons walking on the banks OF the Schuyl-
Kill, near Philadelphia, were startled by
s.,eing what looked like a duel between
two women. The regular duello was SIM
ulated in every feature. and the affair
seemed 80 realistic that passers-by ran
for the police. IL turned out that the
ubiquitous picture machine was the cause
OF the affair. What an odd world It will
be when number of people do nothing
but simulate ell sorts OF acts for other
people TO look at-battles. courtings, dueis,
getting married, dying, acting and buff
foon. and in every possible way doing
something unreal with no present audi
ence to be impressed and no one to APP
plaud or to hiss except the photographer.

SOLDIERS ON A TEAR
RAISE A DEVIL OF A ROW AT THE
PRESIDE.
ANOTHER CANTEEN ARGUMENT
A TOUGH SALOON RAIDED AND
WRECKED.

Men of the Fcrty-sixth Infantry
Had just Been Mustered Out and
Had Plenty of Money Thought
One of Their Comrades Had Been
Dragged and Proceed to Get Even.
Cavalry and Provost Gould Not
Dispense Crowd Until Fire Depart
ment Turned Hose on Them.
San Francisco, June 1.-Soldiers to the
number of 500 or 600 INDUCED in a riot last
night and wrecked one of the many drink
ing places just outside the Preside reserv-
alton.
There are many conflicting stories as
TO the origin of the trouble. The soldiers
of the Forty-sixth Volunteer Infantry
were mustered out of the service yester-
day and the men given their discharges
and pay Most of the men had several
hundred dollars coming TO them, and they
did considerable drinking in the Preside
resorts.
A man by the name of Morgan of the
Forty-sixth was found unconscious in
front Of Mrs. Powers saloon. Two of
Morgan companions took him to camp
Tor NICd ,illelll. Inc puySlcidh plOiOuuCSu
1t cas-, where drugs had been admins
tered. Tie news spread rapidly about the
camp and soon there were a dozen or
more men running to Mrs. Powers saloon.
They demanded reperation for the drug
eing of their comrade, but any knowledge
of the affair was denied. Two or three
men lounging about the place sided in
with the woman and ordered the soldiers
from the premises They went back for
endorsements and spread the report that
Two of their comrades had been killed in
ths saloon.
A MOB made up of members of the For
ty-ffth and Forty-sixth Regiments then
rushed peil nell through the Preside
gates to the saloon, which was entirely
wrecked
The place caught fire from the over
turned lamps. One of the bartenders was
severely beaten and cut. There were
threats 10 lynch him, when a squadron
of cavalry and provost guard of sixty
men from the Forty-ffth arrived and
rescued him.
The efforts of the cavalry and guard to
dispense the crowd were futile until the
FIRE department turned the hose upon
them. This and the entire guard of the
post helped to restore order.
A careful investigation of the report
that some of the soldiers had died from
drugged liquor, proved that such was not
the case. Morgan of the Forty-sixth
Regiment, was the only man whom it is
thought might have been the victim of a
drug.
An investigation OF the riot will be
made by the police and military officials
