growing suspicion certain peculiar
actions on the part Of a number Of
their employees. The suspicious as
time went on were confirmed and
only this week they made a startling
discovery. and one that affected al
most every branch Of the service.
At first glance the laynlan would
say that what existed among the
suspects was nothing more or less
than fonduess for alcohol. But in
the majority Of cases the parties in
question we're positively known to
never touch a drop Of alcoholic
drinks,
The symptoms which attracted
attention first, were very flushed
faces, highly excited nervousness,
a restless twitehing Of the limbs, a
scratching Of the body, as though
itching, and in fact almost every in
dication was present that the party
had been imbibing. This detection
in the employees gradually spread 10
every part Of the service from the
mines to the Office and even to the
outside men and private detect
tivcs.' At last the company sec
retly put force, consisting Of a
detective. a doctor and miner 10
work to ferret ont the mystery. and
last week after careful scrutiny and
research they found the root Of the
matter. The Cause Of the flushed
faces and nervous manners was
else in the world but coke"
Not the medical kind known prop
crly as cocaine. but the plain old
fashioned coke" that is made FROM
the bituminous coal.
The way in which this strange
practice originated was peculiar in
the extreme, and il was discovered
by Tie miner, who with the doctor
aud detective was set TO work 10
learn the truth of the mystery.
This miner went to work alongside
OF a suspect, an Italian. but for a
number Of DAYS his task was fruit

MEN WHO MAKE CIRCUS FUN.
Modern Circus Clown hust Be an
Originator as Well as Comedian.

circus without clowns would be almost
tragic. The thriller with which the mod
ern circus performances is interSpersed would
pail upon the audience, no matter how dar-
ing or death defying, if the tension was not
relieved, at intervals, by the merry antics Of
the Grimaldis. The management of the
Barnum Baily Greatest Show on Earth.
which exhibits in Cumberland, May 10, has
. recognized this fact by organizing for the
current season a company of forty clowns,
each ole of whom is said to be specialist
and comedian. These clowns are introduced
throughout the program in such a way as to
keep the audience alternately spenbound
and roaring with laughter. The modern
spirits OF emulatiOnS has, it seems, reached
even the circus comedians, and the Merry
Andrews of the big snow are described as
perpetually vieing with one another in orig
mating new ana laughable bits of tom-foOl-
cry. The old time clown appeared alone, and
depend to great extent upon his individual
effort to Greats merriment for the audience
Owing to the enormous size OF the Barnum &
Bailey tents, individual performances have
to great extent disappeared, and the lead
clowns either have assistants, or combined
with other fun makers in producing lau gh-
y.
Formerly the clown was utilized to a great
extent as "a roster" for the lady rider; now
the Barnum Bailey Glowing has a dis met
value in itself, ana in al least one number it
ANNOUNCED the entire hippodrome pavilion
is given up to their merry gamhols.
Among the big shows merry makers are
many of international reputation. Spader
johnson who is univ ersally known as the
creator of the clown band. has furnished
merriment for audiences all over the world:
Innocent and Albertno are two French
clowns who are introducing some novel
ideas in acrObatic fun to the American pub
lie; the Brothers Kennard are American
clowns of originality, and Dan Marvelle,
French clown, utilities a trick pony in a
series OF funny interludes. Ryan, Gorilla
and Bartlett, a trio of imported laugh crea-
tors OF cleverness and reputation also c0ntri-
butte to the lighter side Of the circus enter

The general program of the big Show is
also reputed to be exceptionally strong this
year. Intense public interest has almost
been aroused in the dip of Death" a start
