Two Men, Trapped in Cleveland'!
Crib Horror, Rescued.
KNEW NOTHING OF THE FIRE
Thought They Ware Doomed To Die,
But Worked Desperately To Dig
Their Way Out Prepared To Eat
' Raw Mule Meat.
Cleveland, Aug. 20. Adam Kest and
Joseph Euglne, two of a dozen or more
workmen who were trapped la the
water works tunnel 200 feet below the
surface of Lake Erie, by the burning
of crib No. 2, last Wednesday morn
ing were rescued from their horrible
position late yesterday afternoon and
are now lying seml-consrious at Hu
ron Street hospital. With careful
nursing the physicians say they will
soon recover their former strength and
probably be none the worse for their
thrilling experience.
Shut off from the upper world, the
men knew nothing of tne catastrophe
that killed so many of their comrades
and Imprisoned them. They knew
that something had severed their con
nection with the crib. They knew that
beyond the air lock, behind which they
had taken refuge, the air was too foul
to breathe. Hut they supposed that
the trouble was temporary. Each day
they expected their comradea to come
down the tunnel to their rescue.
When their signal for help, tapped
on the air pipe, was at last answered
from the crib, Kest and Euglne were
preparing to eat raw mule meat. Their
deliverance came just in time to make
unnecessary this desperate effort.
At the hospital last night the two
men were permitted to talk for a short
time and they related some of their
experiences. They said they did not
know there haa been a Are and they
could not account for their plight, un
less some accident had happened,
which would soon be repaired. As the
time passed by, however, and hours
lengthened Into days, the men were
beginning to fear they were doomed
to death either by starvation, suffoca
tion or drowning.
"We gave up more than once," said
Kest. "We lost track of the time. I
did not know whether It was six days
or three. The gaa must have made
us sleepy. We slefpt a lot I know.
We did not know whether It was day
or night down there. The darkness

In his 'Sawdust nnd SpanKles." published
by Harbart S. Stone A: Co.. Chicago. Mr.
V . C. Coup Klv. much iriter.-stlng In
formation regarding Um Inside of the
American circus, nenagerle and museum.
He at-par.-iles the real from the unreal,
the gentllnt fr..m the fake, and supplies
a rmrratlv. (hat should Interest every
habitue of the se forms of entertainment.
The following chapter taken from his
book describes a number of freaks and
fakes with which the American public
were slice, sstully humbugged.
N
o aaying attributed P. T. itnr-
quoted t huii the remark that "the
public likes to lie humbugged." Cer
tainly this cjmiwf!it on the credulity
of the masses opens up a most curious
and entertaining field, and its men
tion in a company of old showmen
in sure Vo provoke a flood of remin
isce s on the subject of fakes,
freaks nnd fakers. There is scarcely
another line of experience concern
ing which veteran showmen more
enjoy compiiiiiitr notes possibly be
because it touches on the secrets of
the craft. Though it Is true that Mr.
H.-irn um was ii master in the scienre
of humbugging the public, and did
not disclaim that distinction, it must
be said in justice to him that in the
course of his professions! career he
(rave the people more for their money
than any oilier showman, living or
dead.
A little Inside Information on this
hidden side of the showman's business
may be entertaining to a nubile which
has often experienced the pleasure of
beiiiK- humbugged. Certainly no fnke
I is entitled to take precedence over
the celebrated "Cardiff (iiant." This
I Was the invention of a certain (leorpe
Hull. He lived, I think, at llinphnm
ton. New York, and manufactured the
I giant in a rude shop on the small
farm which be worked. Hull was
shrewd, energetic and very persist
ent, us mny be naen bv the fact that
the elaboration of the iden of hie fake
and its execution occupied lilm more
than four years. Ie thought the
whole matter out, even to the most
minute details, before beginning work
on it. Without stay knowledge of the
art of sculpture or the science of an
atomy, he set himself resolutely at
work to remedy these defects of edu
cation. He had considerable aptitude
with the ehlsel, and gradually devel
oped the skill necessary to hew out n
figure that was to be put before the
public as a relic of an age o remote
that no person won M be likely closely
to criticise its pronations. Hull also
knew that, no matter what the age
in which a giant was suppoeed to have
lived, the "remains" nfnst show pores
in the skin to pr.es the scrutiny of
eve the unleume,!. Te making of
these pores required more time and
labor than all the other work of mak
ing the "Cardiff (riant." The work
occupied many months, and was all
performed hi the "studta" or shop
where H wae at last finished to Hull's
satisfaction.
Preparations were them made for
the giant's burial in order that when
brought to public view it might show
the proper evidence-of antiquity. It
was buried In the side of a hill only a
few rode from the onthtukling, where
It had been chiseled from a huge block
of stone taken from that very hill.
In all this work, huge and honvy as
i the unra.it stone and the giant hewn
out of It were, HnH bod only the
assistance of one man, a sled and a
yoke of oxen In moving them. This
helper waa a preen awl stolid Her
man Immigrant, nttorhr devoid of
eurtosity, and the man wfco helped to
bsiry the giant was aaotber of the
same description.
The statue wus allowed to remain
more than two yenrs in the ground
before Its maker oonsidered It to be in
proper condition for "aocidefitar dis
covery. Hull then promptly "dis
covered" and dug out the "petrifica
tion," and placed it est public view
to amar.e and perplex peeftle generally
and to delight the antiquarians, who
found It nn argument o uphold sonic
of their most cherished theories. It
took its name from the fee that near
the spot where it wns buried and res
urrected was n small hamlet called
Cardiff. The public career of the
"Cardiff Giant" waa not of long con
tlnusnce, however, but was eullicently
lengthy to enable Mr. Hull to make
considerable money out of his clever
conception. He declared, however,
that he might have made more money
if h hnd cented Mr. Barnnm's
mnde at the time of the Slant s
offer
giant's first
appearance in public. Mr. Hull knew,
too, that exposure was bounfl to come
in the end, but that mattered not to
him. For many years thereafter the
"Cardiff Giant" reposed neglected In
the very shop hi which it was madv;
but its owner and Inventor averred
that he wns entirely content w-ith the
finnnclal result of his ingenuity.
The year of 1HS4 ts a memorable
one In the annals of circus history,
and elrcns men remember it ns the
"White Elephant Year." For many
years persistent nttempts hnd been
made by enterprising shownten to se
cure for exhibition purposes a sacrei
white elephant. Schemes by tbe
i score hnd been discussed in the con
' fidential councils of the showmen in
winter qunrters, with a view to faking
', a black elephant into a white one, but
! without satisfactory results. In the
winter of lSSU, however, it was given
out by Mr. Hnrnum's mnnnper that he
had positively succeeded in purchac
ing iiorn me King oi .-m.hu a sacre.i
white elephant. I he press wns splen-
didlT "worked" in advance, and the
sacred white elephant monopolized the
?ossip of circtis circles.
A treat rivalry bad for tome yean
uiiauciiiiiu villus man, ana am puo
lic wag greatly surprised, just before
the opening of the season, to find
that, according to a newspaper re
port, the latter had also quietly and
unostentatiously imported a sacred
pf Ama, which, from the descriptions
f . . .
nern is, was n marvel or Denuty nnu
color. Rumors were also circulated
that Barnum's white elephant wns not
penuine, but only a diseased or lep
rous elephant with a "blaze" of
cream color down its trunk, and dis
colored or spotted lefrs, while the
Philadelphia showman's animal was
of snowy whiteness, without spot or
blemish. Public sentiment ran hiph.
especially in Philadelphia, where the
shows were to exhibit simultaneous
ly. While public opinion wns divided as
to the genuineness of these "sacred"
animals, it may lie well to say that
the Barnum animal was .is pood u
specimen of the genuine white ele
phant ns could be procured, while the
riiiiaueipnia eiepnant, pretty ns n
picture rind superbly snow white in
color, was supposed to be a lively
"fake."
While on exhibition, this "I,ipht of
Asia" was almost entirely covered
with n black velvet-spanfrled cloth.

in BUch a way that visitors could
touch it. nnd ns no coloring matter

that part of the body had In some
way been "sized" or enameled, 1
During the performance the white
elephant would be introduced and

iterated Stage between tlw two rinps,
While a learned "professor" descanted
eloquently on opposition in general
and the genuineness of this white
tlephant In particular. So well wns this
part of the programme carried on,
thnt popular opinion was at least
equally divided repnrdinp the penu
meness of the competing white ele
phants. Long afterwards the "lec
turer" told me thnt this white ele
phant, having lenrned to recopnize
and like him, would endeavor to sa
lute him by rubbing up npninst him
after the manner of elephants. Hnd
the animal succeeded, the effect would
have been to leave white marks on the
black runt of the lecturer, who had
nil he could do to continue his lec
ture and at the nnme time dodge the
friendly advance of the white ele
phant. About the middle of the sen
son. after petting all the benefit they
could out of the white elephant war.
Ilarnntn nnd his rival came to an am
icable understanding, and divided ter
ritory with ench other, and the "Light
or Asia was withdrawn.
The following- winter H was irlven
out that the animal had taken cold
and died In Philadelphia, but there are
plenty of showmen who aver that the
animal is as lively and healthy as
ever, thouph wesrinp black instead of
chalky white. A somewhat slpnifi
cant fee regarding this fake waa
that during the previous sum
mer its owners hnd been annoyed
on arrival in various towns to
find nn opposition sideshow, with its
ennvns already up. It belonged to an
Englishman whoso sole attraction
was a yellow horse. No one hnd ever
heard of a yellow horse before, nnd
the farmers for miles around came in
and eagerly paid ten eents to see
this wonder. The nntmnl was not
particularly beautiful, but was cer
tainly a bright yellow, as were nlso
the hands of his master. In fact,
there was no doubt but that its own
er had rubbed tbe animal well with
yellow ochre. The proprietor of the
"Light of Atria" paid the show a vis
It nnd Inuphed heartily at the decep
tion. After looking nt the horse a
little while he remarked to Its own
er: "Well, if von can turn a prnv
horse yellow, yon should be nble to
turn an elephant white." Whnt hap
pened afterword I am unable to sav,
but, singular to relate, the following
spring, when the "Light of Asia" was
"Imported," n spoetal trainer was
brought with it from Slam who gave
the animal bis exclusive care nnd at
tention. Thin trainer was an Eng
lishman, nnd many of the circus at
taches thought thev had seen the man
exhibiting the yellow horse.
In 188.1, while passing down the
flowery In New York, I heard my nnme
loudly aneuted. Turning around I
met sat ansgtWh showntaa who was
Jnst them awsjssring ess of the msny
dime ssssisn then established In
that thotwngbfSse.
Toms insfde, Mr. Conp." snld he,
and I will show you my latest."
"Yonr lntest what?" snld I.
"Fake," he answered. "These freaks
w-ant too much money, nnd are near
ly played out, unywoy, so I'm making
fresh ones now."
The place wns packed with people
and nn enormous banner on tbe out
side depicted n savnpe looking wild
mnn. He wns described as having
been captured in the coves of Ken
tucky. I followed my acquaintance
upstairs, and in due time, after a
preliminary lecture, a door waa
thrown open, disclosing whnt looked
like a prison cell, In which, chained to
an iron grating, stood a man closely
resembling the one represented in the
picture. His skin was of a tnwny yel
low, his body wns covered with hair,
and he ravenously snapped nt and ate
the lumps of raw beef which on at
tendant threw to him.
I cannot sny that it was a pleasant
sight, but from its effect on the spec
tators it was undoubtedly a satis
factory one, and as the door closed on
It I said to my acquaintance:
"Where did you get him?"
He replied: "Why, you know that
man well. He traveled with you two
seasons. Come inside and talk with
him."
I followed him, end no sooner were
we in the cage than the terrible "wild
man" held out his band to me and
a great rivalry had for some yean
'xi8ted Sf1" Mr- Barnuni "
laid, "How do you do, Mr. Cbupr The
i ttli,
was strangely familiar. I ecru-
tinized the fellow's features and rec
ognized in him a Russian who had
been exhibited in our sideshow ns a
"hairy man." He had allowed his
skin to be dyed yellow and his whis
kers nnd bnir blnck, ami for a consid
eration of nlif iit four times his usual
salary, was now posing as n wild mnn.
Ho afterwards went west and contin
ued this mods of exhibition for sev
eral months, until he was played out
in thnt capacity, whereupon a few
warm baths enabled him to resume his
former employment ns "Ivanovitch,
the hairy man."
Another celebrnted fake which met
With success in the east was the "dop
faoed man." The Englishman before:
spoken of engnged a variety perform
er who was an adept nt imitating the
barking of dogs. The manager had in
his jiossession nn old photogrnph of
JO-JO, the dog-fa OSd boy." and wns
resolved to place a good imitation of
this freak before the American pub
lic. He accordingly had made n very
expensive wig, which completely cov
ered the head, face and shoulders.
Pressing the mnn in the garb of a
Russian peasant, he advertised him
as "Nicolia Jacobi, the KuSSisn dog
faced mnn." So good wns the dis
guise thnt thev exhibited an entire
I week .-it a Jersev Citv museum, de-
-eivinp even the astute proprietor.
Next they went to Boston, where they
played to the most phenomenal busi
ness on record. The proprietor of the
museum had n very clever cartoonist
in bis employ, and as the Englishman
nnd his dog-faced friend walked from
the station to the museum they saw
nothing but pictures of dog-faced
men. In front of the museum, in a
large cage, wns one of the fiercest
wildcats thev had ever seen, labeled,
'The pet of the dog-faced man."
They played, ns I have said, to a
phenomenal business. For two weeke
thousands of persons daily struggled
for the privilege of paying ten cents
to see this amusing fake. At the end
of that time one of the employes be- j
t rayed tlc secret to a reporter nnd
the attraction wns rendered valueless.
Strange to relate, the success of this
"fnke" was the menns of bringing
from Europe the original dog-faced
bejr, "Jo-jo," who for several yenrs
drew a good salary at the vnrious
Una museums, but never crented so
much excitement by virtue of his gen
uineness ns the "fake" did.

ZwiriTi'4 soft when it comes, it may be
. . ' r'v "cti.ou ma
wnole JScw ork press, was the "Da
homey Giant" About 1882 a tall spec
Imsn of the African race walked Into
an eastern museum looking for work.
He wns actually over seven feet in
heigbt, and had never been on exhi
bition. Knowing that bis value as a
negro giant would be but little, the
proprietors resolved to introduce him
as a monster w ild African. After con
sulting Rev. J. G. Woods' illustrated
history of the uncivilized races, K
was determined to make a Dahomey
of the tall North Carolinian. A the
atrical costumer was set to work to
make Mm a picturesque garb. A
spurious cablegram Was Issued, pur
porting to be from Fnrlni, of London,
stating tant the Dahomey giant hnd
Bailed with his interpreter from Lon
don nnd would arrive In Boston on or
about a certain date.
The man, wtth his interpreter, wns
then taken by train to Boston, from
which city liiey, in due time, wired
the museum proprietor of their nr-
rival. J nut telegram wans answered
by another telling them to take the
first Fall River boat for New York !
city. The press was then notified, and 1
the representatives of five New York !
papers were actually sent to the pie? '
the following morning to interview ;
the distinguished Btrunger from Da
homey. The man had been well
schooled, nnd pretending noi to i
know a word of tho English language,
coukl not, of course), convtawe wtf
the reporters. But his interpreter
managed to fill them up very com
fort ably. At all events, lone and In-
tereBting accounts of the "snuff-coi-
ored giant from Dahomey" appeared
in most of the duiriee, and for several
weeks this Dahomey was the stellar
attraction nt thut particular dime i
museum. The advent of summer snd
Its consequent cirrus season closing I
the ctty museums, the Dnhomey
"joined nt" with a side show in
w-hich, for successive seasons, he
posed so a Dahomey giant, a Maori
from New Zealand, an Australian
aborigine nnd a Knftir. This man's
suecesa was the initiative for a score
of other negroes, who posed as repre
sentatives of any foreign races the
side shew proprietor wished to ex
hibit.
The spread of the dime museum
craze crented a great demnnd for
frenks and a consequent rise in their
salaries. I know I am violating no
confidence when I say thnt at various
times the following freaks have drawn
weekly the sums set opposite their
names:
"La Toccl Twins"

... 300.00
... 400.00

Living skeletons 30.00 to 75.00
Armless men v 30.00 to 100.00
OsslHed men 30.00 to 200.00
Among the frenks the women ivero
almost universally jealous of their
professional reputations. Hannah
Battcrshey, who weighed more than
400 pounds, recognized Kate Heath
ley as her particular rival, and either
of these women could be instantly
thrown into a jealous passion at tho
mention of the other's claim to su
periority in the matter of weight.
The strnnge alliances which some
times took place in the freak world
are well Illustrated by the marriage
of the weighty Hannah to a living
skeleton who touched the scales at
5 pounds.
WASHING OF BUTTER.

It is my opinion that butter which
Is thoroughly washed will keep lietter
than if only lightly washed, but I be
llSTe that either extreme should be
avoided, To wnsh butter until the

article thnt will not decay or turn
strong ns soon as that not washed so
much. Jtut, by tasting of the wash
water as it comes from the churn, it
will be found to contain a strong flavor
of the butler, so it Is plain to be seen,
that by thorough washing we lose con
siderable flavor. Then again, while
the flavor Is enhanced by not washing
so much, the buttermilk left in will
tend putrefaction, for. ns w nil
know very well, buttermilk spoils
quickly and becomes ill smelling. Then
if we undertake to remove all the but
termilk by working, we are npt to
work the butter too much, thereby
breaking the grain and making it
airy.
My plan of working the butter is to
use two or three

upon quantity of water, temperature
of bntter and the market. If n nice
flavored cream and butter, wash it
very little for a high, quick fl avor,
wpeeiallfl- if to be consumed soon.
When the flavor is poor I would wash,
