The Junger Macnncrchor's picnic Is a thing of the past; the Saengerfest still lives In the impressions ot those vho heard that wondeiful Mending of well-trained German voices. To s-ay that the picnic was a big af fair would be putting It extremely mild. To say that it was an Immense alfalr would be coming nearer tho maik. All day and especially toward the afternoon and evening laige crowds entered Central Paik Garden, where the picnic was held, and by S o'clock lust night the park piesented an ani mated and vaiylng plctuie. Theio wete the Indispensable lefreshment stands, the lirepiesslblo "thiee shots for ." cents" and every other kind of amusement. The seats wore maiked off in the paik for the dlffeicnt socie ties, and each society had a large co teiie of people aiound their particular stand. At 9 o'clock the Saengerfest proper began, with a song of welcome by the Junger Maenneichor, nnd after that a pei feet shower of good music floated through the air, showing how well the different societies wete trained. Now a classical number would be executed and then some line old Geiman love song would stir the hearts of the peo ple until the large multitude would be stilled by the hannonlous blending and lich, mellow tones of the singers. The following societies rendered their numbers exceedingly well: Wllkes-Baue Concordia, Seranton Saengerrunde, Llederkianz, Arbelter Vereln, St. Mary's Glee and Dramatic club. Haimony Quartette club and tho sweltzer Maennerchor Theie were over COO people in attendance.

Sulli van, a night watchman In the San quolt silk mill, was making his rounds and Hashing his lantern here and theie, he saw something white crouching in a coiner of the caipenter shop. He came up closer and stirred It with a stick and peered at It. No sooner had he stlired It when the nnl mal showed fight nnd was making things exceedingly lively when Mlch nel Shay nnd John Mulheiln, two other watchmen, appealed on the scene. '"Tls a cat that's chasln' him," said John. But It was no cat, as they all saw, and It took those thiee men three hours of hard vvoik to captuie that animal. After they had It cornered It was found to be a laige and full grown possum and how It ever got In the mill Is a mystery. The animal will be donated to the park commissioners and will soon bo one of the sights of the park zoo. Secretary Has Returned.

Amusing Instances of Attempts to Evade the Ticket Wagon. rrcm the Pittsburg Now. "In the North," said the old cticus man to a reporter, "the desire to get Into the tent bv crawling under the canvas Is confined to the small boy. Hut In tho South the entire colored population comes to the ground and hangs around day and night looking for an opportunity to get In free. And to crawl under tho canvas seems to them to bo the easiest way. Men and women tramp aiound and around the tent looking for an unguarded point. We alwajs put extra canvasmen on watch when we go to the South with our show. I havo witnessed more than one amusing and exciting Inci dents growing out of this desire of the negro to get Into the circus with out buing a ticket. They go liter ally clrcus-mnd when the show conies to town, and they won't do a tap of woik until It leaves. Ono reason why they don't step up to tho ticket wagon and hand out their coin Is that they never havo any. There may bo other reasons, but I havo never inqulted further Into tho subject. "I was with old Adam Forepaugh ono fall when he took his show to the south for an extended senson.

"Among the vast crowd of negroes hanging about the show was a largo number who had como to town expect ing to get In for 10 or 26 cents. Tho outside ennvasman gave out a quiet tip that If any one had any change) In his pockets by giving it to the right person he could get Into the show at cut rate3. They began to crowd around him, tendering varied amounts of money from 1 cent up to 45. lie ac cepted all tendeis. He told them that he would have to put them In one at a time. He did. "The Inside man was waiting for them. Just ns soon as a black head would appear under the canvas ho would grab It, drag tho rest of tho per son owning It Inside and shove him out on tho other side of the narrow connection. From here it was a long way around to the man who got tho money. If one of the dupes found his way back, which was uncertain, and wanted his money tetutned, he was promptly shoved under tho canvai again and Just as promptly kicked out on the other side. It was a kind of an endless chnln "Why didn't the two men let them stny in? Well, old Adam Forepaugh was about, and If he saw an unusual number of negroes In the tent he would at once have made the rounds to find where they were getting In. That wan why. The show was about half over that night when an unearthly racket started at the connection. A mtnuto or two passed and we saw two can vasmen running f,or life around the hlppodromo track with an angry crowd of negroes after them. The audience enjoyed It Immensely. Thought It wan part of the snow. Wo knew different. A lot of us Jumped In and headed tho negroes off. That gave the canvas men time to escape. After we learned the cause of It we regretted our Inter ference, We lost two promising can vasmen at Lexington." LIFE. If none were tick, and none were ut, What scnlco could wc render! I think If we were always glad We scarcely would be tender. PId our beloved, never need Our patient ministration, l'artli would grow cold and miss indeed Its swett consolation. II sorrow never claimed our heart. Ami every wish wero granted, Patience would die and hope depart. Life would be disenchanted. ( -J. .BtMmerca, A.
