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 ” Foster Coates. 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.” Phillips’ Dj-yestlble Cocoa Makes a very delicious and nourishing drink.
