MILLIONAIRE BULL FIGHTERS
Spanish Experts Get Rich at the
Game.

Spanish Experts Get Rich at the
Game.
There is probably no sport in the
world so lucrative as that Of Spain's
national sport, bull-fighting, and the
statement that there are twenty-five
famous toreadors who can earn annu-
ally $1,000,O00 Is by no means exagger-
ated.
In Madrid one finds the toreador, the
fairy prince Of the senorita, at the Ho-
tel Ingles elbowing rich English and
American visitors. If he dimes out
with friends he will invariably choose
the Ideal Room, the meeting place OF
the Spanish aristocracy and foreign
diplomats When he visits theater
he must have the best box in the house.
He smokes the very best cigars. and
not the traditional petiles (home made
cigarettes) so dear to the Spaniard. He
drinks the choicest wines from south
ern Spain or Frances famous cham
pagnes. He Is also most fastidious in
his fashions wearing the best Of
clothes.
Indeed so jealous is he Of his person.
al appearance that he employs speci-
al coiffeur who curls his coleta, the d.
minutive pig-tail, beneath his usually
heavy crop Of black hair.
His nails are also delicately mani
cured lest their rough appearance
should mar the brilliancy Of the price
less diamonds which his standing as
toreador compels him to wear.
He Is withal a stolid and serious
minded man. He never smiles. His
life has made him stole, and his
smiles he reserves for the ring.
He Is also the most religious Of NOR
tails, at any rate, in Spain. 1t is indeed
curious to see him before taking up
his place in the procession and march,
ing into the arena.
He Is also most superstitious. EVIL
befall the man who dares open an UNI
brella in his presence or who passes
between him and a friend with whom
he may be talking.-Exchange.

ROMANS HAD ELEVATORS.
Interesting Discovery by commenda
tore Boni on the Palatine.

| Commentators Boni, the director Of
the Roman Palatine excavations, man
who rarely announces his discoveries
except through official sources, has,
however, impaired to a few scientific
| friends the information that his exca-
vations have at least reached the foun-
dations Of the prehistoric city upon the
site Of which Rome Of the kings was
built
He has also proved that Juvenal and
by philoligists when they declared that
| the word "pegma" or "pegmata" did
not always mean the mechanical device
at a theatre used to lift actors aloft on
platform, but often meant an eleva-
tor operated by weights and used to
lift the ancient Roman from his garden
to his house which might stand on the
hill above. At both the Palatine and
in the Forum the commentators has
found relics Of these "pegmae" used In
private homes.
One Of the most important finds Is
| the base of the imperial throne in what
Commentators Boni calls a Domitian's
| coronation ROOM" the throne was ap-
preached by three steps Of Egyptian
granite, of which fragments are lying
about on the spot. From the throne to
the altar is a natural transition; from
| the throne Of Domitain we pass to the
vast altar of Heliogabulus, that strange
hierophant in the long list of Roman
| emperors.
Among the most striking finds of the
| last few days Is series Of beautitul
frescoes of the Iliad, which Commen-
| datore Boni assigns to the period OF
| VirgiIs youth. We may thus imagine
the future author of the second book
Of the Aeneid studying from these pic
torial representations "the tale Of Troy
divine" on the famous hill to which he
dedicated so much Of his eighth canto.
Other frescoes, with a rare shade OF
blue, have been found in a republican
house of the time of Caesar. From a
large collection Of these colored frag-
ments Commentators Boni is endeav-
oring to reconstruct the palette Of an
artist of the republican period, so that
we may know precisely what colors
were then in use. Another fresco,
found at a considerable depth, repre-
sents a figure gazing at large Greek
temple, which strongly resembles the
Thesian at Athens.-Philadelph Led

STREET FAKER's CONFESSION
Business Of Catching Suckers Has lts
Fascination.

The evening Of the Waggener jubi-
lee in Atchison a street faker stood on
the corner and sold watch chains for
fifty cents each. Late that night on
the depot platform he said to Globe
reporter: Il didn't get In town until
4 O'Clock in the afternoon. but I sue
ceeded in selling forty eight chains at
fifty cents each. I actually cleared
more than SIS and didn't get here until
the crowd was going away. II had
arrived here early I would have made
at least $50 or 800. I can buy all the
chains / want for less than ten cents
each. Did you hear the spiel I made?
I told the crowd that the chains were
made of metal we call Cubanolo. I told
a long story about how a party Of ex-
plorers found this strange metal in the
wilds of Cuba and how they first
thought it was gold. They had it ex-
amined and found that while 1t was
not gold it looked the same and could
not be told apart except by an expert.

DANGEROUS CENSORSHIP.
Government Control Over the Press

Government Control Over tho Press
Bodies No Good for Liberty.
There was concealed in the volum-
inous postoffice appropriation DILL
passed near the close of the session OF
congress, where it attracted no pubic
attention, and caused little discussion
in either house, a provision requiring
the editor, publisher, business mana
ger or owner Of "every newspaper,
magazine, periodical or other publica-
ton" to file with the postmaster gener-
al twice a year, and publish In Its sec
ond issue after the filing, sworn
statement setting forth the names and
addresses Of its editor and managing
editor, publisher, business managers
and owners and Of the stockholders, II
owned by a corporation, and also the
names Of bondholders, mortgages and
other security holders. In the case OF
daily newspapers it requires a state
ment of the average Of the number OF
copies Of each issue Of such publica-
ton sold or distributed to paid sub
scribers during the preceding six
months" The penalty for falling to
comply with such requirements within
ten DAYS after notice Of such failure
is the denial Of "the privileges Of the
mail" There is another requirement
that any editorial or other reading
matter "for the publication OF which
money or other valuable consideration
is paid, accepted or promised, shall be
plainly marked advertisement" and
the penalty for violating this Is fine
of $50 to $500. This is construed as
applying to notices. reviews or criti-
cisms of books and theatrical perform

1t is hardly necessary to dwell upon
the reprehensible practice Of enacting
in this insidious and half-concealed
manner provisions Of law affecting
the rights of property of large busi-

veying news or disseminating informa-
ton, and enlightening or shaping pub

REcEIvERsHIP is DENIED.
Court Refuses to Put Receiver !
Charge of Plaza Hotel.

Judge Bradshaw refused to place a
receiver In charge Of the Plaza hotel
Wednesday afternoon. as asked by L. J.
Gregory. guardian for Albert barrow.
an old soldier, in his suit against E. B.
Pardee, who is managing the property.
After the plaintiffs evidence had been
completed. and after part Of the de-
PENDANTS evidence was in the court
declined to hear more evidence and ov-
erruled the plaintiffs application for q
receiver.
Judge Bradshaw said in making his
ruling that If the action before him was
a hearing for the annulment Of the
contract between barrow and Pardee
that he would feel inclined to grant the
petition, but that this hearing being for
the appointment Of a receiver only, he
would have to deny the application, as
he could not see how q receiver could
step in and carry on the business Of
the lodging house.
The action on the annulment OF the
contract will probably DO heard at the
August term OF court.
