A TOWN THAT HIRED A CIRCUS.

There is a town of some 6000 or 1000 in one the Central states. says Business. that has had an extremely hard time holding it's own against the attractions of a city more than ten times as large and only thirty miles away.
 A circus had been in the habit of making the city toward the end of it's season each year, in fact at about the time the stores there were be- ginning to display autumn styles and seasonable goods.
 As the town was one of the largest near the city not only the circus but also the railroads and city merchants were in the habit of fairly surround ing the place with their advertise ments-with the result that the local storekeepers suffered a keen loss each year.
 But at last the worm turned. Two years ago, on the very day of the circus and when the town was so deserted the business men had nOth ing to do but openly rail at the show and secretly wish they could see it, one of their number came forth with an idea.
 That evening at his request a dozen of the most progressive men of the town met in the room hired for their commercial club. As soon as they were gathered the man with the idea proceeded to make it known.
 Why" he inquired, don't we have that fool circus come to our town? Here's my scheme, and l bet We can make it go:
 That circus rObs us of so much business each year we feel it for the next six months. Our people will be coming back this evening with their arms so full of bundles they can't see over the top of them, and for the next week the express company will do more business than it does at Christmas time, while furniture and pianos will be coming by freight. Some of them would buy city lots if they could be delivered.
 We've got to hire that circus to stop here for one day. It would pay

The Boy ana the Liquor Evil.


 Some of the advocates Of pro- hibition are circulating a card which reads:
 You may vote for the saloon and it may ruin my boy; but I promise you. I will never vote for a saloon that will have a chance to ruin your boy"
 The sentiment expressed-a pro- posaI to deny to the liquor evil a chance to ruin boys-is admirable.
 But is the premise of this declara- tion correct?
 The premise is the assumption that if saloons are abolished by law in Phoenix, boys will be better protected from the danger of ruin.
 A great many of the very best citizens of this town-men who have no friendship whatever for the liquor traffic-are troubled by doubts con- corning the correctness of this as sumption. These doubts are shared by many of the best women of the city.
 And we comply with the wishes of these good citizens when we state the reasons for their doubts.
 As these citizens view the ques- ton. they fear that abolition of the licensed saloon will be followed by much worse conditions. The law now protects the boys by making it illegal to sell intoXicants to a boy under 21 years of age. Gradually, but forcibly. public sentiment has been so exerted that this law is at last rigidly enforced. It is said-and we believe truthfully-that it is now practically impossible for a boy un- der 21 to procure even a drink of beer from any licensed saloon in Phoenix.
 To be sure, it is asserted that con- ditions in Phoenix are deplOrable; that there is no protection for boys; that the licensed saloons are con- stantly violating the law. If we re- member correctly, such assertions have. been made in substance in com munications which we have printed from advocates of prohibition. But mere assertion is not statement of fact. It is the judgment of citizens who have excellent opportunities for knowing that there is practically no lawbreaking by the operators of the licensed saloons Self interest, if nothing else leads them to keep in the middle of the road and avoid the sale of intoxicants to boys. It is also the judgment of the residents of the business district that Phoenix is one of the most orderly, peaceable communities of its size in the world. It is extremely doubtful whether there is a dry city of the size of Phoenix anywhere in the United States in which an intoxicated person is so seldom seen.
 It is conceded that abolition of the
 
 licensed saloon will be followed by the existence of unlicensed places where liquor can be obtained-un- licensed doggeries, deadfalls and boot leggers.
 The saloons which have to pay a high license and have to submit to rigid regulation. as now. find it to- their interest to cooperate with the authorities in preventing unlicensed and interruptions dealers from en- gazing in the business.
 But with the attempt to enforce absolute prohibition comes. as nearly everybody admits. the hideous evil of unreguIated sale of intoxicants-the most poisonous kind of cheap whisky

thought he wanted to put one over on
Mayor Ledger and invited him out for
a pool game. Commissioner Burke went
along. Whether 1t was the trip in che
rowboat that unnerved Charlie, or
whether the fish scales that weighed
too heavily in his pocket upset him
will never be known, but it is a fact
that the mayor and the commissioner
beat him to a FRAGILE, and today he
is called the ex-champion of Newark.
In honor of the event the following
song was written by one of the party:
Charlie Leick was a champion once,
The pride of Newark town;
He met defeat in Lambertyille
And lost that champions crown
He's awflly sad and feeling blue,
AS tho not all was well;
While Eddie Burke and Ledger, too,
Are feeling mighty swell.

BANGOR TO RISE FROM
ASHES, PH0ENIX-LIKE,
Wooden Houses to Be Prohibit
ed; Park Is Planned.

BANGOR, Me, My 3.-Every section
of the city was patrolled by National
Guardsmen last night and water was
poured on the fire, which was still
burning + ebly in a dozen localities.
At a mass-meeting of citizens $40, 900
for he immediate relief of the homeless
was raised in a few minutes. There was
lively debate e whether or not out
side aiC. should be accepted. 1t was
finely voted to take what money was
freely offered but not to make requests
for assistance.
Plans are to be made for rebuild
Ing the burned district with a new
arrangement of streets. There is a
movement to create a large park along
K~enduskeag stream. which shall be
faced by public buildings. Plans for
cores of new business blocks and resi-
dences are being made. Wooden struc-
lures will be prohibited in the business
section.
The p~ostoffice has been established
In the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton gymnasium and not a single piece
of first class mai has been lost. The
custom house is at the chamber of
commerce.
1t is estimated that 100 business
blocks ami 800 residences have been
burned. 1t is impossible to determine
the actual loss at present. 1t is set
at from $3,5 0 900 to $4,000, 900. Half of
this is covered by insurance. About rs
families comprising nearly 300 persons,
many of them being women and chill
dren, are homeless. Relief measures
are being taken by a committee of q,
made UP from the city government and
prominent citizens.

appropriation
FOR ~BATH-HOUSE
MAY BE GRANTED
Change in Attitude of Finance
Committee Members Is
Claimed.

That the granting of the request of
the Board G Works In the matter of
an appropriation of $125, 900 for a bath
house in the Third ward will be acted
on favorably by the finance committee
at the meeting tonight is the belief of
some of the aldermen today. AL
though the conference of the Board
Of Works officials, held yesterday
afternoon, proved fruitless. mas
much as 1t was decided to
postpone the selection of a site until
the meeting tomorrow. 1t is under
stood hal he members Il the f1nance
committee have changed somewhat in
their attitude toward the board.
When this question came up before
the committee at the special meeting
last Friday it was voted down by the
Democratic members because of the al
legged extravaganza in choosing a site
and because of the disagreement
among the boards members in making
a selection.
Alderman Elliot said at the time that
he believed the board could purchase
a site for less than $500 and that it
should do so in order to get his vote.
The other four Democratic members
seemed to agree with him. because
they voted as he did. Alderman Congle-
ton was of the opinion that the COM
mittee had no right In the selection
of a site and that 1t should vote for the
appropriation.
Archibald Declares In Favor.
Alderman Archibald was seen today
and said that he believed the matter
would be settled tonight. He declared
that after investigating the matter he
had come to the conclusion that the
committee should not interfere with the
site selection, but that 1t should grant
the appropriation. He averred that he
would vote for it.
Tlct neither the Montgomery street
site nor the Prince street site will be
chosen finally is likely. Another site,
in the immediate vicinity, is talked
about now and the board may agree
on purchasing 1t. This site, it Is said,
Is cheaper and bigger than that oil
Montgomery street.
President Mungle, of the Board of
Works, will appear before the finance
committee tonight and If the commit-
tee does not act on the boards re-
quest on its own initiative he will again
file his application.
Alderman Semel told a reporter to-
day that he wishes to be reasonable ir
the matter. and that he would like t.
see the bath-house built as soon as
possible. 81 think hat the third site
talked about should be selected" he
said. II am looking out for the in.
terests of the city. and do not wish te
aid those members of the Board Of
Works who. in my opinion, wish tC
make an extravagant purchase. We
need a bath-house, and I hope we car
gree on a. site"

FOR
ELECTION PLACES
UNDER NEW Law
Candidates for Positions Must
Reside in District They
:. Would Serve.
[speoial to the Newark star.l

TRENTON. May BIN accordance
with the provisions OF the new Geran
election law. the State Civil Service
arrangements for the holding of exam
nations for applicants for election
officers for the coming primaries and
election next fall. Dates ave been
fixed for the holding of several exam
nations throughout the State, and
later a further schedule of dates and
places will be arranged.
For the convenience of some appli-
cants the commission has decided not
to adhere strictly to the rule that all
applicants must take the examinations
in the counties where they are resi-
dents. The rule will be tempered so
that applicants may take h examina-
ton at convenient points even though
they may be in another county. This
action of the board is based upon the
fact that in some Of the larger coun-
ties of the State it would be more con-
venient to take the examination In an
other county.
Blanks Sent to Printer.
Application blanks TOT the exAu1lna-
ton have been drafted and sent to the
printer, and will be available In the
near future. The distribution of the
blanks may be delayed until after the
proper authorities of the various munic-
ipal authorities arrange the cleo
ton districts to conform with the pro-
visions of the Geran law so that each
district will contain not more than 400
voters. The law provides that the work
Of redistricting must be completed on
or before May Is of the present year.
Just whether this can be done will be
one Of the matters that will regulate
the acceptance and fling of applicants
for election officers. The law provides
that the election officers must be resi-
dents Of the districts in which they
are seeking the place at least one year.
This provision, unless the authorities
succeed In ~rearranging the districts.
will leave applicants in the dark as to
just which election district they must
set UP their residence from.
Five Must sign Applications.
The application blanks will require
the signatures Of at least five citizens
who will certify to the character Of the
applicant. The examinations will con

and subtraction, reading and writing,
