Life of a Great Showman.
The recent death of Adam Forepaugh,
from the grip, at his residence in Phila-
delphia last week, removed a show-
man who, next to Barnum, was the
greatest this county ever produced.
Mr. Forepaugh, proprietor of the well
know circus and menagerie known as
Forepaugh’s Aggregation, was born
in Philadelphia Feb. 28, 1821. He
began life as a butcher boy in the
employ of one John Hinkle, at a
salary of $4 dollars a month and his
board. At the age of 16 he ran away
from home and went to work for
John Butcher, a butcher in Cincinnati,
who is still living in Crawfordsville,
Ind. Young Adam remained in his
employ for a year and half.
Leaving Cincinnati, he entered the
employ of John Gray, a butcher and
horse dealer. Returning to Philadelphia,
he was in the butcher business up to
1848, when he embarked in running
stage lines, and continued therein up
to 1854. While in the omnibus business
Mr. Forepaugh dealt in horses and
cattle, and bought and sold in asingle
year as many as 10,000 horses. In
1861 he sold John O’Brien, who was
running a small wagon show, sixty-two
horses for $9,000, and took as part pay-
ment an interest in the show.
Atthistime Mr. Forepaugh had no idea
of permanetly embarking in the show
business, but visiting the O’Brien show
in Pittsburg, he purchased the same,
and, buying Jerry Mable’s menagerie,
combined the two, which formed the
nucleus of the great Forepaugh show.
The Mable purchsae consisted of two
elephants ard eight animals, for which
he paid $42,000, and the property was
was delivered to him at Twelfth and
State streets, Chicago, on the very day
of the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln.
Desiring a name to attract patronage,
Dan Rice was secured at a salary of
31,000 a week for thirty weeks, and at
this figure he remained in Mr. Fore-
paugh’s employ for three seasons. For
eighty years the earnings of the show
were invested in its enlargement. Mr.
Forepaugh increased the number of
cages on exhibition until they numbered
twenty, when the veteran managers de-
clared that he was on the road to ruin.
Next the number was increased to
thirty, and at last to forty-four.
Up to 1876 the aggregation had
moved by wagon, but having now
reached such gigantic proportions he
had constructed his own trains of sleep-
ing, coach, flat, box and stock cars,
as well as a special car for the trans-
portation of his business agents and ad-
vertisers. Of late years Mr. Forepaugh
had increased his menagerie each sea-
son by direct importations from the
wild beast dealers of Europe.
He perfected arrangements for a
grand hippodrome performance in con-
nection with his menagerie and circus,
for which purpose he had purchased
abroad a large number of blooded and
fleet horses, engaged trained and expert
jockeys, and had made racing cars,
modeled after the chariots of ancient
Rome and Greece, and exhibited a
perfect fac-simile of the games and
races for which the ancients were
celebrated.
It was his boast that Le “owns, con-
trols and exhibits more wild animals,
and individually possesses more show
property than any other single person
or firm in the world.” It is a remark-
able fact that during Mr. Forepaugh’s
managerial career, he never suffered a
financial reverse, but during many
years continued to add to his fortune.
He was a large real estate holder in
Philadelphia and Brooklyn, and in the
former, his native city, he owned nearly
one hundred houses, making his real
estate possission foot over a million
dollars.

attached by a steel band, which passes
below the coronet from one extremity
of the heel to the other. The band is
kept in position by a steel pillar which
runs from the center of the shoe up to
the center of the hoof In addition
there are three stout studs, one in the
center of the shoe, and the others near
the heel and on each side of it. It can
be put on by any one who has once
seen the process, which takes about
half the time required with the cold
shoe system, which latter is an improve-
ment as regards time on the ordinary

dimirishes or puts an end to cutting,

The Small Pay of Preachers.
People who are in the habit of grum-
bling about the excessive salaries paid
ministers may be surprised at some
figures concerning salaries paid in the
Phiiadelphia conference of the Method-
ist Episcopal church, which were read
at the recent meeting of the Methodist
preachers of Philadelphia. It was
stated that out of 256 members of the
Philadelphia conference there were on-
ly ninety-one who received $1,000 or
more salary per year. There were 165
who getfless than $1,000 salary per
year, and forty who get less than 600,
thefsalaries of some not exceding $250.
The Philadelphia conference is one of
the oldest in the Methodist Episcopal
church, and it embraces within its
limits many strong appointments. It
makes a better showing, probably, than
most of the other conferences. If the
Methodist Episcopal church, which is
the largest Protestant denomination in
the country, and is becoming one of the
wealthiest, can do mo better for its
preachers, what shall be said of the
painful poverty of the ministers of the
smaller sects ? And what becomes of
the sneer which so often falis from the
lips of the ignorant, at the “well paid”
preachers who ‘have such an easy time,’
and who are charged with preaching
for money ?— Altoona Pa. Tribune.
Corp Foon.—Eatall cold food slowly.
Digestion will not begin till the temper-
ature of the food has been raised by the
heat of the stomach to ninety-eight de-
grees. Hence the more heat that can be
imparted to it by slow mastication, the
better. The precipitation of a large
quantity of cold food into the stomach
by fast eating may, and often does, cause
discomfort and indigestion, and every
occasion of this kind results in a measur-
able injury to the digestive function.
Icc-water drunk with cold food of course
increases the mischief. Hot drinks—
hot water, weak tea, coffee, chocolate,
etc.,—will, on the contrary, help to pre-
vent it. But eat slowly, any way.

Race Prejudice in a Bank.
ALBANY, Jan. 27.—A stir was caused in local
banking circles to-day by the action of [the
Albany County bank directors in electing Wil”
liam N.S. Sanders, a lumber merchant, to sue-
ceed the late John Templeton, as eashier over
David S. Mann, the teller of the bank.Teller
Mann has served the bank in several capacities
for twenty years, butbecause he was a Hebrew
he received only three votes to his opponent's
six. The wealthy Hebrews of this city who
had deposits in the bank drew them out as
soon as they learned of the action of the direc§-
ors. Itis said a certified check for $180,000
was made out for one depositor, who at once
opened an account with another bank. No.
oaly fellow countrymen of Mr..Mann, but at
number, of other citizens who deprecate this
exhibitiou of race prejudice, withdrew their
accounts, and for a short time something after
the nature of a run on the bank was made.
