MarceIIIne's Evented Life.

My history" said the small chap, puff fing a cigarette, a very bad thing for an acrobat to do-cigarettes make one short of breath. My history? Well, I can't begin by saying that it has been an un- eventful one, for it hasn't. I was born In Barcelona, Spain. and my name is Marcelline Orbes l am 32 years old. My father and mother were both acrobats, and headed troupe of six persons known to fame as the Martini family. I was their only child. and the other members of the troupe were all apprentices. But as soon as I was able to walk they be- gan to make an acrobat of me, and at was a full-fiedged member of the con- pany.
 My first appearance on the stage-or rather in the circus ring-was in Barce- Iona, the town of my birth, with the Alegria circus. I did very we'll they told me, but I was very much fright ened.
 For some time we stayed with the Alegia circus, but finally left it and join ed another show in Lisbon From there we travelled all over the southern part of Europe The first great change in my career came when I was 19 years old.
 We were playing In Madrid, and had noticed that for some time my father, who was getting old was having diffi- culty in handling me in the act as he
 
 now or else his muscles were not so strong as they had been.
 one night our act went very badly My father dropped me twice. and but for my agility would have been hurt. After the show too, he seemed more fa- ugued than had ever seen him. So I spoke to him about 1t. I told him that l thought l was growing too heavy for him to handle any more. and he was forced to admit 1t. I must leave the troupe. 1t was decided, as my usefulness had gone
 Tn Narbonne found my first chance with the Cirque Casuni The manager gave me work as a clown, and a salary of 7h cents a day For six months I stayed with that circus, working all the time learning new tricks and giving my performance twice or three times a day. We played all the small towns, travel ing on foot or in wagons-a typical coun- try circus.
 Made $1 Day.
 "One day, however, I grew tired of my salary, which was hardly big enough, you will admit, I quit the show and joined another. the manager of which thought so much of me that he gave me the magnificent remuneration of s1 daily. It was a raise, anyhow. if not much
 Tn Paris the circus that joined start ed on a tour, and we were soon in Brus- sels. While performing there I got an idea that has made me successful This was the pantomime business We were going Into Germany. and I suddenly re- membered that my act would not go very well there, as I had to do lot of talking in it, and couldn't speak word

HARD WORK ID BE SUCCESSFUL CLOWN Great MarceIline is Always
 Learning New Tricks HAS HAD EVENTFUl CAREER The Clown Who Delights Hlppodrome Crowds Endorsed Many Hard
 ships Before He Became
 Famous on Continents.

From the New York World. Marcelline is the name by which he Is called at the Hippodrome, and Marcelline is the name on the door plate; but when you have climbed four flights of dark stairs-just the sort of stairs, you decide that an acrobat would pick out to climb and have been welcomed into cosy little apartment, you find that his real name is Orbes, with Marcelline for a starter.
 But whatever his real name, everybody in New York, and for that matter, out of New York, knows that he is the fun niest most original little clown that ever tripped over the side of circus ring or ran for his life from the ringmaster.
 Since the Hippodrome opened last spring the children of New York have grown to like Marcelline with his little monkey face and twnklng feet. There was nothing surprising in this, for he came from London, where thousands of children said good-by to him with tears in their eyes. He was the pet of England, as he had been of Belgium, France and Spain and Americas S gain was Europes loss.
 III the tremendous SHOW dt lue IllpPO- orome for one little chap, scarcely five feet tall, to hold the attention of the big audience is no small accomplishment It has been Marcellines wonderful origi- nality that has helped him to do this and made him popular. His methods of clownishness are entirely different from those of any other Merry Andrew" of the past, and he is never tiresome or in danger of repeating himself.
 Marcelline Off the Stage.
 But whenever the public takes up a performer as it's particular pet the same question is raised-what kind of chap is he off the stage? How does he live. and please tell us all about him? With the laudable purpose of finding out these things and letting the people know what they want about Marcelline, the Sunday Woisd discovered the eerie in which he dwells at No. 41 West Sixty-fourth street, ana mounted those stairs-beautiful stairs for an acrobat who wants to keep the muscles or his calves In practice.
 It was Marcelline who came to the door, there was no doubt of that, for while he did not have those big white-rimmed eyes that he looks through at the Hippo drome audiences, nor those funny lines around his simian face (simian only on the stage). he still presented the stocxy appearance, the bright face and tripping little ways that have made him so famil- lar. He needed shave. and needed 1t a great deal, so that part of his face looked dark blue. But he was bright as ever, intensely cordial, and soon had every one feeling completely at home.
 This homelike feeling was soon ce- mented by the entrance of Mrs harcel- line, for there Is a Mrs. Marcelline, a charming little English woman, who thinks her husband Is the most wonder full man In the world. and Is very proud of him. In a few minutes she was busy ing herself brewing a nice cup of tea. according to the English standard of Hospitality, and introducing the other members of the famly-a parrot and a canary.

saphrle win wrestle Kilmartln,

On Saturday evening, Oct. 81, N.
Saphrio of st. Paul will wrestle J..
Kilmartin of Minneapolis for the
light middle weight championship Of
the northwest at Jesmer's opera
house, Princeton. Kilmartin is the
present holder of same, he having met
and defeated the best men of his
weight in the State.
Not long ago he and Carl Mattson
came together at a private affair in
Minneapolis, and, although being de-
feated, it took Madison one hour and
eighteen minutes to turn the trick.
When it is taken into consideration
that Madison weighed so pounds more
than Kilmartin, it can be readily seen
that he gave Mattson the time of his
life. And Mattson, you all know, is
the fellow who gave Frank Gotch
such a hard rub.
While N. Saphrio is a wrestler of
note, he has not been heard of very
much in this part of the State, most
of his battles being in the southern
part, where he has established repu-
tation as hard man to beat.
Saphrio is the man who gave Har-
ley Parker, better known as the Gilt
tie Demon" such a tough match in
st. Paul, when Parker was travelling
with burlesque show and agreeing
to throw all corners in fifteen minutes
or forfeit $25. Saphrio stayed the
limit on two occasions.
This will be the boys first meeting,
and as both are out for blood lively
time is promised.
The match will be catch as catch
can, best two in three falls, strangle
holds and flying falls barred. Hostil-
tiles will commence promptly at $50
O'Clock. Tickets SO cents, on sale at
Jesmer's store [Advt.

CONGREGATIONAL
THE LOST ARTS.

Many Abandoned Because New
knowledge Makes Them Useless.
Not as much as we used to-, but oc-
casionally even yet, one hears of some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot be done now.
Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work.
men could not quarry or, having quar-.
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard public speaker OF
note assert that it would be impossible
to handle with modern implements
such large stones as were used IN the
pyramids or to join them as perfectly
as they are Joined there. Yet, when oc
casion arose, larger stones than any OF
the larger monoliths themselves were
transported not only: to the sea, but
across 1t, and erected in England
France and America, and there are in
dividuals today who might, If they
chose, cause the transportation to and
erection in this country of the largest
pyramids or build new ones ten times
larger and more durable. Pyramids
are not being generally built nowadays
because they are not in line with the
trend of modern ambition; that's all.
It IS very doubtful if a Damascus
blade" would stand half as severe
usage as modern band saw blade or
even as much as the spring of forty
cent clock, while the ornamentations
Of those wondrous blades, so far as the
mechanical execution is concerned, car
be excelled by apprentices and anna
teurs of today.
OF the "lost art'' of hardening cop
per little is heard Of late years, though
one occasionally hears a wiseling from
the wilds wish that he knew how to dc
it as we'll as the ancients, and while it
is perhaps regrettable that he doesn't
his ignorance is his own fault.
Many arts and devices have beer
abandoned because new knowledge
has made them useless, and time spen,
In rediscovering them would be worse
than wasted. The modern youth ha6
much better spend his time studying
| the art of his contemporaries than that
which is "lost." -Scientiflc American.

A National Criminal Bureau.

A project looking to the Identified
ton of criminals the country over and
also in Europe will come before con-
gress at the next session. A so called
national criminal bureau has been
maintained in Washington for several
years, and the government will be
asked to take it over and give it fed
eral support and recognition. At pres
ent the bureau is maintained by the
membership fees Of cities represented
in the association. 81
The principal work of the criminal
identification bureau is the exchange
Of photographs and measurements OF
captured criminals. Under government
control the information gathered would
be furnished to the police authorities
of this country and Europe, insuring .
wide exchange of both foreign anG
domestic descriptive circulars. In re
turn for this service local police au
thorities will file with the bureau iden
tificat ton cards Of all criminals operat
ing within their districts. The inter
national exchange of data would sup
ply information from abroad, and thu!
| the whole criminal world could b
canvassed readily Argument is mad
by the projectors of the goyernmen
bureau that it would result in th
speedy identification Of suspects.

favored swain. At this his sorrow
took an eccentric form. He discarded
all his fine clothes and jewelry, which
he forwarded to the newt -weddeds
bride with the hope that they would
be acceptable to her husband, as SUCH
frivolities were not for one who
thenceforward would lead an anchor
ties existence. A year later, how
ever, he married, and at once resumed
his garish attire.
Notorious for the number of lovers
she had discarded, a lady Of New
York had the flight of years pointed.
~ brought home to her by the receipt
from her most recently discarded
iancee of a pair of spectacles, set
OF false teeth, and a wig, accompanied
by a letter wherein the writer trusted
that she would find his presents of no
little use in the near future. The hint
was not lost upon Miss Girtin, whose
amatory divagations were brought to
close the following month by the
marriage With the then aSplrant to
her hand.
An even more unpleasant hint as to
the passage of time was conveyed in a
gift received by Brighton lady from
a young man who had been cast aside
in favor of a richer sutton. On her
wedding day, when all the guests were
assembled at breakfast, parcel was
delivered, which on being opened was
found to contain a most handsomely
framed document in the form of a
copy of her birth certificate, which,
as it differed considerably in respect
to her age from her own statement to
her husband, fell like an apple of dis
cord upon the ast.-Tyrone Consti-

Tavern, at New Boston, N. H., erected
and formerly conducted by J. Reed
Whipple. is a native of Peterboro,
where his father was a leading citizen
and pillar in the church, says the
Boston Herald. The New Boston
landlord is not so pronounced in re-
ligious activities, and, after the death
of his parents and the removal of the
remainder of the family from town,
advertised the family pew for sale in
the local paper as follows: "For
Sale-Pew No. q in the Congrega-
tional church. But little used; as
good as new.''

Strange Gifts From Tilted Lovers.

Strange Gifts From Tilted Lovers.
Repulsed by a Glasgow lady, whom
he had pestered with his attentions, a
young man took fantastic revenge
when, on hearing that the object of
his hopeless passion lay seriously i'll,
he sent her, as farewell gift, coffin
and a wreath. These the lady rejected
with as much spirit as she had form
erly done the giver, and as the under
taker refused to take them back they
were suspended from the boughs of
a tree in front of her house, where not
long since they were the wonder of the
crowds that gathered from all sides to
see the extraordinary sight.
Equally grim was the humor that
prompted an Antwerp sculptor to be-
stow, upon the eve of her marriage,
on lady who had Tilted him a mar
BILE statuette of herself in a winding
sheet as an emblematic expression OF
his wishes with regard to her near fu-
ture. The fair recipient accepted the
present, which she promptly sold to a
dealer for considerable sum. +
Although exceedingly proud of his
hirsute adornment, young Manches.
ter barber resolved to sacrifice to his
chagrin at being rejected by neigh
boring publican's daughter his wavy
locks and luxuriant mustache. These
he used for stuffing a pin cushion
which he sent to the object of his I'M
requited passion with an intimatio1
that, as a hopeless future was incom
patible with pride of person, he hat
shorn himself of that which he trusted
she would treasure as memento of ;
loving heart she had ruthlessl,
broken.
This conduct was in spirit akin t,
that of Liverpudlian whose persona

of his love for lady who receive,

guard who thrust lighted cigar-end
into the friar's mouth. On the latter

upon turned the other and requested
to be hit again. A second blow was
