seem to object to the woman's course,
nor did they attempt to aid her in get
ting rid of the Objectionable portion of
her audience.
The songs and jokes which are sand
WICKED in between the dances are far
too decayed to pass muster in the col
umnS of d reputable newspaper. There
seems to be nothing too dissolute for
the performers to do or say.
When the show is over. the crowd is
allowed to make its exit through the
back part of the tent. The side is lift
ed up, and the audience SneakS out.
This is done to accommodate the gem
tlemen whose regulations might be in
jured by publicity.
SO far the officers of the law have
not interfered Nith the programme,
though several policemen have attend
ed the show. it is stated by those who
have seen them there. In case the
show is allowed to continue, it will no
doubt profit considerably by this an
nouncement of it's immortality.

Another Rank Show.
Just in the rear of the "Girl from
Mars" show is what is called the
Oriental Midway" This show lacks
many of the virtues and some of the
vices of the Girl from Mars The
is of the cheapest and most tawdry
character. and the costumes worn by
the performers look as though they
had been in service ever since the days
of Shakespeare.
The programme is almost identical
with that given at the Girl from
Mars but the smutty jokes and
stories are of a rather older vintage.
The girl who does the hoochey at
this show is a fright, but she goes the
limit in the hoOchey-coochey business.
The admission charged to both of
these shows is 3 cents This is about
twice as much as the ordinary side
show, but from fifty to a hundred men
pay the price at every exhibition be-
cause they think they are going to see
something real naughty. The shows
are very tough and suggestive, but to
an ordinary human being they are so
rank that they are repulsive.
Paddle Games Running.
There seems to be no law against

full blast in several places on the

games is making more money than

submitted motion after motion, and
the court did not appear to bumor

toe, that the attorney was not in g
condition to proceed with the case
