Speaking of the. clown: Victor. Hugo said, .'He could make them laugh, and as we have said before, to make peo. pie laugh is to make them forget what a. benefactor to humanity is he who can ybestow fdcgetfulness.''
 Realizing the potency of shumor, .al a factor in entertaining the public the Barnum and Bailey Greatest; Show on Earth management are making a feature of pantomimic clown worl this season and to that end will in tse aisg af sun mssess sa Tiven Fridayi ~eBfNty merry murniners con stitute the clown nil0ta, giving prom ise that there wii1s'be something doing all the while in the way of Joyous merriment.
 No longer can' the clown depend or song and sally, for he can't be heard but the almanac and the funny mar in vaudeville keep his jokes in circu. lation while he cudgels his brains for things to take their place. The three rings and platform have made clowning a sscdznafl icafedf sbilsfnAss-. for

AMHERT BOYS ARE CUTEST ,
 OF ALL COLLEGE CUT-UPS

Of all the queer and original stunts of college cut-ups, perhap ps the queer est and most original was that cofn- msnced iR 1884 hy the boys of Am herst Cofiege, the old Massachusetts Elnstitution8of learning which holds it's commencenasntts exercises today For years the college campus at Amherst was graced shy the presence of a Greek dady: in bronze, who, accord ing to the label, was one Sabrina Her clothing was decidedly scanty, so the humane college lads, on cold days. provided her with kimonos, old coats, wOrn-out gloves, violently-striped hos iery and other lurid and disreputable garments. A silk hat Or most as- founding bonnet usually adorned her dainty and graceful head, and be- tween her lips there was customarily to be seen ;as pine, cigar or cigarette. In vain the ssnie enaberss,- of the faculty begged. the und dergraduates to leave Miss Sabrina. alone, clad only in mai den modesty. The. young scamps inn kmediate1y assumed an air sof superior virtue and piously declared that the sight or. an all but nude figure of a woman worked injury to their highly wisely decided that; the lads were in- cofrigible and ordered Miss sabrina Eremoved from her pedestal and put away in a stDrerbom-f That was a challenge that the youngsters couidn't t resist, so the class. of 1894 stole sthe statale and shipped it, for. safekeeping to Kansas or some place in the West. Another challenge. Thevclass of 1895 determined to rescue the lady in dis tress. and a search began that con- tinued for many years. Sabrina was placed in the custody of the even-year
 classes, and passed on from one to an- other, while the odd year classes r1u1, fA Ey1d har .yYyaa q a~a the rules of the game for the statue to remain in one place over a year,
 and so began the wanderings of the homeless and unfortunate Sabrina. She escaped the customs officers vie- ilance and spent a. year in Canada; lantic liner; the Connecticut river held her remains for another year, and an other was spent in a Newfoundland fishing vessel. The searchers commit ted about every crime on the calenr dar, short of murder, in their efforts to recover their lost darling. They employed detectives, and it ist rumorS . ed that they even engaged the ser vices of professional burglars. As a mystery, Mona Lisa's disappearance was a tame affair compared with that of Sabrina.

 Britain. One hundred years ago to-
 day. following the declaration of war
 against England, the United States

1. FOOTING THE CITY

theoretically this is a free oonn- tfy ffii which every man is equal be- \ f6re the law. "Every man" is a Jhrase including corporations, for corporations are artificial personsg' which can sue and be sued:
 The charter of Bridgeport is part Of the law. It contains certain brqdd, or narrow, principles and a partfcu- Z lar program which the state says mustss 6r may be. followed in conduct ing . muiicipal government.
 Among the provisions in the char tef q oue which provides that if a pefS0E does not clean the snow off bis sldewalk the city will do 1t. and charge the cost of the lservice to the dellnquent.
 There is another provision which says that the city may order g. real estate owner to lay. or repair side walk. curb or gutter, and if the work h not done promptly the city may do lts and collect from the property own CT for the service.f
 Thsre Bs q provision not of the charter, but of the general laws. which provides that any city in Con- hecticut-and Bridgeport is one such cifyS may order any trolley company W1thin its. limits to pave highway on vhich 1t has Mracks. and if the ordef-b not promptly executed with- ? nj staie reasonableE date fixed. the,scity may do the work itself. and collect for the service from the delinquent company
 Now all of these3 laws, rights. and duties. exist under the same principle, and, they lie equally against all the classes of persons, real, .or artificial who are involved.
 The difference Is in the, enforcement of these laws If the city should go out and clean of the walks pf zoo or 500 persons few would thinE anythfng reckless or radical had happ ened.
 The authorities wouldn't hesitate a moment to do the very thing, if they deemed it necessary.
 But when it comes to enforcing the law against a powerful trolley com paAy, there's a horse of another color.
 s.Really, 1t wouldn't do you know aay1 some. office holder. They might COulIlOute u Qc1Cdt QSs ..
 ssWhats disturb the trolley corr- bany,'' says another office holder, T do work for them and the work might be taken away"
 And 90 it goes, until almost the : people. thenselves believe it would be lese majesfe to enforce the law against the-street faalways.
 There is Fairfield ssavenue, impass- abIet month upon month. an eyesore. an injury to traffic, a detriment to the city, standing signboard of 7 municipal incapacity, because the trolley monopoly is above the law.
 The trolley company is above the law. not by defects in the law, but by serious defects in the human units who are entrusted with the enforce 1aent of the law, and do not enforce M mrfH fHnomr,rt sa t1.<, su6.ss,vsJ rtfvr4--fv

Governor Of New Jersey
Takes the Stump IN His
Rome State Campaign
Charges Senator Smith With
Trying to Secretly
Knife Him
Wilson Says lie Opposed
Smith Because. the People
! Wanted Martine
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., May 24.-Wilson
today issued an address to voters OF
New Jersey" In which he explained
why he did not take the stump to ask
their votes at, the coming primaries
and attacked his opponents, who have
organised against him and placed on
the primary ticket a full set OF unan-
strscted delegates to the national
convention.
The New Jersey governor is the only
candidate for the democratic pree1'
Dental nomination openly seeking
votes at the state primaries. After
announcing his candidacy, the govern
or said he did not take the stump Tor
the reason that he was we'll known
to the people of the state through his
work as chief executive, and adds
that nothing he could say upon the
public platform could altar it.
The governor then takes up state
affairs, reminding the voters OF his
fight against former United States
Senator James Smith, Jr. He says
he opposed Smith and favored James
e. MARITIME, the present incumbent of
office, because the people Of the state
had expressed a preference for Mar
time.
This, he declares, lis my only ground
of offending." l insisted that the
party should keep faith with the peo-
pie in the matter of the senatorship
as ir all Others" The governor then
adds:
Senator Smith wanted its (the
party's) obligations ignored in order
that he might return to the senate.
He seeks revenge as do the guardians
and all others who have been deprived
of thir private control. Their pur-
pose as to regain their power and
rule again as they please"
The governor says that what is
happening in the republican party Is
obvitus to the whole country, and
very unedifying spectacle it is. But
what is happening i'm this state within
the democratic party is not so OBJ
vious."
Wilson then charges Smith with un-
demanded tactics in an effort to un-
horse the former, and with secretly
trying to knife him.
