lottesville, Va, came to the city yesterday
morning looking for a situation. He was
not particularly anxious about the charac-

when a strange colored man told him about
position In the Central Hotel at Char
lotte, N. c., he accepted the offer without
any hesitation.
But" said the stranger, ut will be neces-
sary for you to make showing of some
kind in order to convince your employer
that you are a man of standing"
Then came a repetition of the old story of
producing money and putting 1t in en-
velope. The country boy was not acquainted
with city ways and was easy victim. He
handed over 81, which the stranger placed

DIR. CURTIS VIEW OF CHILDREN'S
FAIRGROUNDS.

DIR. Henry s. Curtis. supervisor of the
nineteen public Fairgrounds in Washing
ton, has returned to the city and reports
that he finds conditions good. He is seek
ing a site for a playground for colored chill
dren and hopes to bring about its estab-
dshment soon. A lot at 18th and I streets
northeast had been selected for this pur-
pose. .,ut general objection was made by
the residents of that locality. all white peo-
pie, and the site was abandoned.
Another location was tried, but with the
same result. II Is said prominent colored
man has promised to supply the proposed
new colored playground with all the para
phernalia without cost to the management.
contribution of 500 has been received
by DIR. Curtis for the playground fund
from Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page and $40
from Mr.. George w. Brown. the official
landscape gardener. Late contributions
from other sources foot up $44.25. making
a total of $154.25.
Some of the recent contributions are:
Mount Zion NJ. E. Church. Doth street be-
tween Dumbarton avenue and Q street
northwest s.; A. and G., care Natalie s. B.
Forsyth, IS; G. T. K, 2Sth street northwest,
80 cents; Charles Matthews, 81; Ebenezer

1t is approx ina ted that the average num-
Der of children per day who enjoy the ex-
ercises provided is from $500 to 5000
Juvenile Athletics.
A new development among the boys and
girls who patronize the Fairgrounds has
been the recent formation of several ju-
venile athletic clubs Some of the names
given these amateur organizations are
amusing. For instance, a number of boys
who visit the grounds at North Capitol and
l. streets have banded together as The P.
T. Barnum Boy Athletes At the grounds
near the navy yard in Southeast Washing
ton The Turn and Twister Athletic Club"
has been formed.
Another result Of the establishment of the
Fairgrounds, according to veteran po-
liceman. is the tendency of some Of the
youngsters to form minor circuses.
Why, said the officer, ION my beat
alone there are three boy circuses. One of
them is conducted on lot, the boys using
their mothers sheets to form a tent The
other exhibitions are held In woodsheds.
One Of these circuses has menagerie at
tachment. The wild animals consist of two
docile pussy cats a captive sparrow. a
cur dog and goat. The little fellows have
lots of fun with their gymnastics, their
clowns and acrobats. They don't do any
mischief and 1 believe such harmless
amusements are far better than having
them roaming the streets and engaging in
doubtful pastimes."
