BARNUM TRICK

one OF p. r. Barnum's most successful
feats Of bamboozlement was played upon
the Canadian customs authorities. The
veteran showman's tours were always
planned far in advance. and one winter
he made up his mind to take his great
circus and menagerie through Canada
during tho summer after the next. This
gave him about two years in which to
mature his plans.
one important item OF a showman's ex-
penses consists OF his advertising pla-
cards. and Mr. Barnum was always lavish
with these gaudy prints. He was aware
that the Canadian government imposed a
high duty on this class of imports, and yet
he wanted to paint Canada red. yellow,
blue and green with a lavishness that no
Snowman had ever displayed in that ccun-
try before.
Now, there was no printing house any
where in Canada that could begin TO
turn out the kind OF work that Mr.. Bar
mum required either in size. color or fin-
ish. Nevertheless his immense posters
came under the same classification as
much smaller Autographs and printed col
ored matter did. and he knew that the
Dominion custom authorities would not
Evening journal., 1910-01-28

abate one iot of the full toll. but would
rather rejoice at the opportunity to mulet
the foreigner who would convey 50 much
money out OF the country.
So Barnum studied tho question a while
and finally sent on at once great lot OF
circus posters Of tho most gorgeous de-
signs whereon yellow lions clawed striped
tigers and brown bears fought with blue
hippopotamuses till gore flowed into beau
tiful crimson backgrounds. No agent ap-
peared when the posters were detained
by the Canadian customs officers to pay
the duty. They we're accordingly held for
twelve months. then duly advertised for
sale for three months more and finally
put up at auction with lot OF other un-
claimed parcels and were designated in
the catalogue merely as ''coiored prints"
Nobody took any interest In them when
the auctioneer called for bid. and finally
the whole batch was knocked down for a
song TO secret agent Of the circus who
had been sent up by Mr.. Barnum for that
purpose.

BIBLE CLASS
HAD A BIG TIME
Men of West Presbyterian
Church Give Delightful
Entertainment

The men of the Westminster Bible
Glass of West Presbyterian Sunday
school achieved double success last
night, when they proved that they
could both keep a secret and give a
splendid entertainment. The audience,
numbering between 400 and 500 people.
broke into continual applause and call
ed frequently for encores during the
program of music and recitations.
John r. Hudson, president Of the
class, called the assembly TO order and
introduced Horace S. Allen. class treas
urer as the presiding officer. Charles
NJ Bower, in an address of welcome,
spoke of tho good work Of the class. A
number of piano solos were finely rend-
cred by Norris c. Morgan, organist Of
Central Church, and three readings,
one an encore. were given by Calvin
Thomas, who showed a facial express
siveness and aptness Of imitation in the
Debating Society" that kept the audi
encs convulsed with laughter. A Scotch
dialect piece, "The SIxule Board" was
inimitably given by Archibald M. Main,
recounting the school ehilds story Of
Jonah.
J. Frank Ayres sang a pleasing tenor
solo. and a mandolin and banjo duet
by Harry Mock and Harry Whitford
was heartily encored. The finest num-
ber on the program was the baritone
solo. the Hymn to the sun" from
'Iris' by Mascagni. superbly sung by
Herman Gossen, Of the Sacred Heart
choir, who has come to the fore as a
soloist. Mr.. Gossen recently was
heard in oratorio work.
The Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr. made
the final speech, saying that their Sum
day school superintendent had express
ed trepidation at hearing the class was
going to have a "frolic," but he
thought Mr.. Bower must be willing
they should have another since this
went off so finely. He called for a
vote Of congratulation from the women
20 the hosts Of the evening, and this
was enthusiastically given. The whole
company was then ushered upstairs to
seats in the pews. where they found
themselves facing a large and capable
looking camera. Erected on four
.scaffolds were four large and CHASTITY
looking white bags. Observing these,
a few members were heard to remark
lldl NleN htltNtu AlltS udu ltli coIllt-
thing downstairs. but just then all
breathed easier at tho announcement
that these contained the hashlight
powder, which would be ignited by
electricity. The historic members oc-
cupied the front seats, and other pews
were in order Of age-of membership.
Everybody stared at the camera with a
pleasant expression-it would have
been quite impossible TO look any other
way-there was a fash, some mufled
shrieks. and the picture was took"
After this the guests we're taken
downstairs, and the men served delect-
able ice cream, and pretzels that were
the acme Of crisp, salt freshness. The
guests are unanimous in their hearty
appreciation OF tho genial hospitality oI
/ the men, and of their unsparing ef-
forts which resulted in such a "gooc
time" for everybody. Ten new mem.
bers were added last night, making q
membership OF S25.

Fowls do Not Come on Time
and Woman Lodges Com
plant With Police

Florence Brown, cooired, OF No s25
French street. reported TO the police to-
day that man who called at her home
yesterday got SOS OF her money. It was
the second complaint that had been lodged
with the police against a man who had
been visiting esat side homes in quest Of
money, but in the first case no money was
obtained.
Tho Brown woman told the police that
tcall weil-dressed colored man came to
her house yesterday afternoon and hand
ed her a freight bill Of iadlng filed out
on a regular form OF the r., B. and w.
railroad. The articles named thereon in
cluded box. a barrel. and a coop OF
chickens The weight OF each was set
down in regular form and the freight
charges were also in their proper places.
The total charge was SOS.
The man told the women that the
shipment had come from King William
county. Virginia, and that he had come
TO collect the freight charges and that
when paid he would see that the ship
ment was delivered In the morning.
Whether the man knew il, the police
are unable 70 say, but It happened that
the woman's people live in that Sec
ton and she herself came from there.
She said she thought tho things had come
from her folks and she willingly turned
over the amount OF the supposed freight
charges demanded by the stranger. The
goods did not come this morning and after
waiting sometime, the woman lodged her
complaint.
According TO the police the man called at
an East Fifth street house yesterday and
presented a similar bin but che woman
there told him TO deliver the goods and
she would then pay the freight.

OF ASSESSMENT

In the Levy Court room tomorrow

mington will sit TO hear appeals from the
The assessors will remain un-
Ill o'clock.
Property owners in Market street be-
tween Front and Eighth streets win learn
that considerable changes have been made
in their assessments by Assessor Victor
Gael Of the first representative district
For years past there has been wide dis
elimination in the assessment. Assessor
Gael has fixed this years assessment ac-
cording TO the frontage, instead OF on
height Of building. From Front street TO
Second the assessment is placed at 500
a foot. Between Second and Third streets,
$500; Third 10 Fourth. $500; Fourth 70
Fifth. $500 and from Fifth TO Eighth
streets. $500 a foot. The assessor has made
allowance for a two-story building and
additional assessment has been placed on
four-story building. Mr.. Gael says some
objections may be made to his method but
he believes he has done his very best 10
make an equitable assessment. The assess
ment promises to be the best ever made.
The reason for this is that the Levy
Court has enforced the law and the as
SCISSORS have worked in conjunction with
the Recorder of Deeds, the Register OF
Wills and Clerk of Orphans Court so
that duplicate assessments OF properties
have not been made as formerly.

RAISE MOTHER-IN-

This reckless and extravagant Gov
ernment has wasted money and many
ways, and has piled up the burden
until the billion-dollar Congress is as
inevitable as Uncle Joe Cannon. We
made no protest when they spent $685.

only thing that stream could ever float
would be a Government appropriation.
