Street Carniva1s A Curse.
(Alliance Review

NhibahNO ItCNiCW.J
One Of Massillon's largest mercantile
Arms makes the statement that dur
ing the week of the street carnival al
that place, the sales of this store were
20 per cent below the normal. This
was the experience of most of tho
storekeepers Of Massillon. And this
loss of trade is not the worst feature
of the carnival. The moral effect on
the town has been very bad. In fact
nothing worse can happen to a town
from a moral standpoint than to turn
over for week its streets and alleys
to the moral degenerates, the thieves,
Iickpockets, gamblers and fakirs
that always compose or accompany an
aggregation known as street carni-
val company. Massillon has had her
lesson In the loss of business and in
the lamentable example set before her
young people by the scumb and Off
sconrings Of the earth that have pol

| A colored man and a cat were the
principals in an exciting race at the
Pennsylvania station last night
The man had just arrived in the city
hot and weary, picture of detection
as he trudged toward Cherry street.
But his troubles were not over. Di-
rectly On his path he spied a large
Maltese cat.
Now this innocent feline was prob
ably ignorant of the old negro super

way on dark night; or perhaps he
didn't care.
At all events, when she saw the COL
ored man stealthily trying to circle
around her, her feline suspicious were
aroused and she started for the door,
way on a run.
The contest was short but very in
teresting.
The man, impelled by fears of i'm
pending disaster, made for the street
with bound and just succeeded in
outdistancing his opponent amid the
shouts and laughter of the onlookers.
well, well! All was sho lucky dat

triumphantly continued ON his way.
