THE M ARKET FOR FREAKS
A COLLECTION OP LIVING CURIOS
IN THEIR MARKET PEACE.
Huiry Boyo,Chinese Giants,Fat, Women,
Elastic Skin Men, Fire Eaters, Sword
Swallowers, Clowns, Clog Dancers,
Bareback Riders, Variety Theatre
Performers, and How They Are En
gaged and Paid.
New Yobk, Aug. o.—New York is the
pvat market-place for freaks. The Bowery
is the Mecca of the Chinese giant, the hairy
boy from Burmnh, the India rubber man,
the Chicago girl with hig feet, the living
skeleton and the man who is going to swim
the whirlpool at Niagara. Once each year,
usually in July or August, the great family
of monstrosities come to New York. They
blister their feet walking here from every
corner of the United States. They walk
up and down the busy street in the scorch
ing sun waiting for managers to engage
them for the next winter. The Bowery is
the freak’s exchange. It is to him what the
Stock Exchange or the Board of Trade is
to the stock or wheat broker. All iiro on a
level on the Bowery. The man who can
masticate a pound of glass in fifteen seconds
is no better than the boy who swallows nee
dles. The fat woman'although a drug in
the market, holds her nose as high in tho air
us the fair dame who coils snakes around
her neck.
The Bowery is a great leveler.
The Chinese giant iR of no more import
ance than the woman who has not spoken a
word since the day she was weaned. To be
sure, the latter is a good deal of a rarity,
but until the lie-diamonded and oleaginous
dime museum dealer apj>ears and the freak
signs his or her contract for the next season
all are on an equality.
The managers flock here in droves during
July. They come from Oshkosh, New Jer
sey, Buffalo, Boston and other places where
Culture sits on a pedestal. They are on the
alert for novelties. They want to get them
cheap. The important freaks are engager!
first. A few staple freaks are engaged for
the season, and lazy boys, fat women, giants,
Brooklyn bridge jumpers, the man without
n tongue and other stars aro signed to ap
peal- at intervals.
How are they? Is it profitable to be a
freak?
-S§m s af’
THE FAT WOMAN, THE LIVING SKELETON
AND THE CIRCASSIAN BEAUTIES.
Well, yes, considering.
Fat men and women are paid according
to their weight. The average pay is about
S3O per week. Very heavy men or women
get as high as SSO. Beginners receive from
S2O to $25, and are advanced as they become
heavier. Circassian girls are not profitable.
It doesn’t really pay to be a Circassian girl
now. The market is flat at S2O to $25 per
week. Tattooed men come a little higher.
They can be obtained for sls per week, but
the 'genuine article readily brings S4O per
week.
“It don’t pay to do tattoo now,” said one
of these gentry yesterday. “A man’s got
to be way up in the act or he’ll be crowded
out. I think I’i! try the India rubber act
or tho pie-eutiu’ racket. I can get SIOO a
week for eat in’ twenty pics a day. It’s great,
panl.”
India rubber men come high. They are
not numerous. They are always good dr aw
ing cards. It isn't every one who can be a
rubber man. It is hard work and is a great
strain on the beginner. Still it is profitable.
Experts receive S.IOO per week. Hairy boys
from Burmnh are also in demand. They
receive SIOO per week. Men who can cat
glass are not rare nowadays, and it really
doesn’t pay to go into the business. First
class glass eaters get only S2O per week. It’s
a great strain on u man to eat glass. Sword
swallowing is more profitable. A woman
who can eat sword after sword until she is
gorged gets S4O per week and is in great
contrast to Chicago girls with big feet.
Years ago such women were rare, but the
bull market in tho staple has been flattened
out and they can le lmd now for sl2 weekly.
The supply of bridge .junipers exceeds the
demand and can Ik- had for $1 a day. Fire
eaters are puid S2O weekly. Snake charmers
get as high as SOO. The man with the iron
jaw is very numerous. Ho is quoted at $lO
to weekly.
' ' I I
NOT A CASE OF JIM JAMS.
It may stem strange that dime museums
can pay the salaries quoted above, hut when
it. is eoiisidei-cxl that fh.-y are open from
morning until night the wonder is not so
great. Most museums have u side show at
tachment in the form of a prestidigitateur
or Bunch nnd Judy. The salaries paid ma
gicians vary according to their reputation
and ability. Five dollars per day to give a
dozen or more performances is considered a
good price for museum exhibitions. Three
dollars per day for a Punch mid Judy exhi
bition js about the average salary pan).
But tho Bowery is also the headquarters
tor clowns, singers, dancers and oilier sjie
nnlist.N of the variety theatre. Like their
confreres of the museum, they are all in
town eager to make engagements for next
winter. There has been a great falling off
m the value of clowns lately. Years ago
circuses depended ui*>n them to a large ex
tent for their mirth, but tho downs’ duties
have been curtailed and now they only np
|car in the circus ring at intervals, nnd are
permitted only 10 tumble about and give
Pantomime exhibitions. Still they are well
paid. Forty dollars per work is the average
compensation. A few get SSO. The lawt
isiid clown in this cotuitry is Conklin. Ho
receives SIOO weekly. Tins is considered a
wonderfully high price. Jim Mofflt gets
He is one of the kings of the profee
Fiou. Fairly good clowns can be had for $25
per wivk. Trgpezo fterformers can be on
Jteged for the same uninunt and tumblers
tor fio. The country is flooded with oxpert
acrobat* and ground nnd lofty tumblers.
Iliey can lie hired at uny price; from slobo
sls is considered good puy.
i 1 .^„ < aesn 4 pay t be a tumbler these
, one of the experts this week.
It is hard work and it requires years of
i study and practice. We begin by turning
j narduprings and walking on our hands
when boys, and gradually became more
and more proficient until we are able to
perform feats that people pay to witness,
j It s dangerous work and sls per week doesn’t
j begin to pay for the study and the hardship
wo undergo.”
Bareback riders ore paid the highest sala-
I Ties of any performers connected with a
1 circus. Some receive as much as S2OO a
. week. The usual salary is SIOO. No flrst
j class rider can be obtained for less, although
I there are numerous men and women who
can ride fairly well who are paid only SSO
or $ i5. It takes a long time to become an
expert rider and many a promising begin
ner is injured for life i'll the attempt.
THE HAIRY BOY THINKS OF PREACHING.
Tiglit-rope walkers receive SSO. Those
who can do some extraordinary feat, such
as riding a bicycle on the tight rope, all re
ceive more. Tho performers aro mostly
women and are usually advanced in life be
fore they’ begin their perilous work. In
their palmy days most of them were ballet
dancers. It is noticed this season the tiglit
rope walkers are not in great demand. The
public has tired of them and the “profes
sion” is overcrowded. In fact, the business
has fallen off so much that tight-rope walk
ers in the streets of the small cities and
towns only attract moderate crowds. Stroll
ing walkers fasten their rope from one build
ing to another and give free exhibitions.
After the performance they pass the hat and
depend upon the pennies received for their
livelihood.
Clog dancing is also declining. Clog
dancers can lie had at small figures. On
the Bowery they can lie picked up by the
hundred. The proprietors of the variety
theatres in the Bowerv have a saying that
“if you want a good efog dancer go out into
the street and whistle and yoirll have a
dozen to pick from in a minute.” The cheap
lodging bouses ail have dancers among their
lodgers. In truth, it may r be said that
many of them dance for their meals, dance
for their drinks and dance for their lodg
ings. The best of them usually go in pairs
and reoeivo $5 per night conjointly for
their services. The best clog dancer in the
country, Marcus Doyle, receives only S4O
per week when under engagement. Eccen
tric acrobats like the “Happy Hottentots”
are paid well. They must combine many
marvelous faculties. The Nelson family
are said to receive S4OO weekly.
Burnt cork artists are nurnen >us and cheap.
They can be had from $lO to S3O per week.
Those who receive more than the latter sum
must be able to do several acts.
Concert singers are paid different salaries.
It depends upon the singer’s ability nnd his
or her reputation. Those of the character
that appear in gardens and saloons get little
or nothing. They are usually paid so much
per song. A fair singer, dressed in tawdry,
whosinilesand smirks behind the footlights,
gets perlites $2 per song. Five dollars is
considered an exorbitant charge. The men
who mimic the features of celebrities by
means of a quick facial gift and a rapid ex
change of wigs and whiskers are paid about
$3 for a performance.
“I’m sick of the whole business,” said a
man who is capable of doing several good
acts “The variety theatres are played out
Freaks or fakes, as I call them, have killed
them. There is no money in them for the
man or woman who does the work.. Some
of the men are not so well paid as brick
layers. Dixey and Nat Goodwin and Kyrle
Bellew and the dudes of the big theatres get
from S4OO per week up. They are paid like
gentlemen and men of talent should be.”
“Yes,” said the hairy bov from Burmah,
who was standing by. “I'm thinking of
doing anew act myself.”
“Wluit is it?” said the clog dancer.
“Preaching! I see that the Rev. Dr. John
Hall makes about SIOO,OOO a year. The
hairy boy business is disgustingly common ”

AN INCIDENT OF TWO DOGS.
One Was Dignified and the Other Was
Dirty and Vnlgar.
From the Hartford Cnurant.
Coming up Htrite street a small dog with
a thick coat of mud and a tremendous voice,
kept jnst in advance of his owner in a
wagon, and barked like mad, now just be
fore the horse, now at one side, but never
more than a few feet from his head. He
covered a great deal of ground for every
iOO feet that the horse jogged on, and Was
thoroughly dirty, vagabond, alert and
happy. Down the sidewalk in the opposite
direction came a large, majestic dog of
aristocratic demeanor, liis nose well in the
air, and with the look of a society
man of large fortune. When the
little dirty tiog, lull of animal spirits, saw
thut dignified object he fell on him tooth,
nail anu bark, especially bark, with aston
ishing suddenness and vigor. It is prob
ably inqiossiblo by nvro description to give
an adequate notion of the look of amaze
ment and disgust that came over the big
dog’s face at such treatment by such an ob
ject. Put or ily ind (Terence was no match
for the situation, and the big dog had to
fight like any ordinary street dog in the
mud. No doubt the little one would have
had tho worst of it, but he saw the horse
which claimcil his first attention getting
further and further away, and cut tho
battle short as suddenly n ho had begun it.
The last thing the spectators saw was one
dog recovering his dignity and tho other
disporting himself in the mud near the
horse, us if nothing had happened.
Horse Racing at a Dollar 13 Wlckod.
hrom the Detroit Free Perns.
An ancient looking darkey who ha-1 11e.n1
told that the price of admission to tho race
ground was only 10c. nnuoared there yester
day in company with ins young wife, who
was evidently his second.. When informed
that it would take a $3 bill to admit they
fell hack across the road and looked at each
other tor a loug minute before he said:
“Rat settles us.”
“We might pay jist once,” she pleaded.
“It’s ompossible. Data our rent for half
a month.”
“But it’s gwine to be awful excitin’,
Moses. ”
“Mebbe so, but we shan’t see do inside of
dot air fence.”
"Won’t you please go in to please me?"
she asked as she patted him on the back.
“Lucinda, look yore!” ho replied as he
faced her. "In do iut place, I ain’t got
but six bits. In do next place, mebbe we'cl
get killed. In de third place," boss racin’
ain’t 110 account deso days anyhow, an’ in
de fo’th place, its mighty wicked, on’ de
Lawd might shot, us out o’ heatK'n.”
"But you were gwine In fur 10c.”
“Wall, mebbe I was, hut do you know
what I was gwine to do, Lucinda! I was
gwine to keep one eye shot and repeat do
Lawd’s pray’r all de tinml We’ll her somo
lemonade an’ peanuts an’ go back hum.”

Midsummer Sale
OF
FINE SHOES.
Our annual inventory of
Shoes has developed the fact
that we have $12,000 worth
of Shoes more than we should
have at this season of the year.
Ilow arc we going to close
them out is the question that
has agitated our minds for the
past week. We need the
room that this surplus stock is
taking up, and we must have
it by the 15th of September.
So, to close these goods out,
we propose to inaugurate
A Big Push Sale of Fine Shoes,
to commence MONDAY
MORNING, August Bth,
1887, at 8 a. m., and last till
September 15th. We cannot
enumerate on the different
kinds, qualities or prices, but
we can assure you that should
you require anything in the
Shoe line, and you give us a
call, we can save you about
one-half what the same goods
would cost you elsewhere.
SALE COMMENCES AT 8 A. M.
Not*.—Don’t take any stock in that withered
old chestnut, that mom-covered story that regu
lar shoe dealer* will toll you. Wo say to you
now, ns wo have always said, that onr Shoe
Department is exoluslvely a Shoe Store in itself.
It is under the direct management of experi
enced shoe men. The only peculiarity in tbia
department different from a regular shoe
house is that our prices range from 25e. to $3
per pair less than same goods can be purchased
elsewhere.
