CONCERNING SOMERSAULTS. How the Double Somersault Was In troduced Forty Years Ago. Detroit ditch.) Correspotidnut at. Louis Globe- Democrat, The difficult and graceful feat of turning a double somersault—never executed, it is asserted, till within the past one hundred years—can now be witnessed at almost eV ery first-class circus performance in this country. Forty years ago the British or Continental performer who could throw a double somersault was looked upon ns a wonder. The writer, some thirty-seven years ago, saw Tomkinson, a famous British clown and acrobat, execute this feat in Francqpi’s circus, then stationed for the season at Endinburgh, Scotland. It was the same Franconi who afterward managed the Hip podrome in New York in 1858-54, and the company was looked on as first-class in every respect. The double somersault was jierformed by Tomkinson at his benefit, and the announcement of the then great feat picked the wooden building to suffocation. When the ring-master had made the pre liminary speech, and Tompkins retired up the steep incline which terminated in tiic spring-board, every heart stood still A quick, impetuous rush down the board, a bound high in the air, a slow revolution, and the gymnast descended nearly to the cushion. It seemed impossible to do it, but in the last six feet the curled-up ls>dy revolved once more and Tomkinson alighted on the big soft mattress on his feet, but staggering. lie was prevented from falling by the ring-mas ter, and as he returned to leave the ring Franconi enthusiastically patted him on the bock while the vast audience roared their applause. It was a rare feat in those days, and Tomkinson and the few other double somersault performers in Europe did it only at infrequent intervals. One of the first performers of the double somersault in this country was James Mnrli gan, who was attached to his father’s (old Hank Madigan’s) circus in the fifties. He has still the reputation of being the finest performer that ever executed this feat. As a rule other performers stagger when they alight on their feet, and are assisted by one or more attaches when they are in danger of losing their perpendicular. But Madigan did it perfectly every time. Dan Costello, a noted circus lea per, made it more difficult by clearing a number of horses at the same time. But soon a number of acrobuts were able to follow his example and excel him in height and distance. Now-a-days a circus acrobat who cannot do a double som ersault is not considered anything but an ordinary performer, unless he can do other sensational or dangerous feats. In 1881 Barnuin had a corps of acrobats of whom seven turned double somersaults every night during the season. The eircusses of Foro paugh. Robinson, Sells Brother, Cole, Frank A. Robbins and Burr Robbins always con tain acrobats capable of doing this feat. AN UNEXCELLED FEAT. The most surprising and unexcelled feat of double somersault throwing was that af Robert Garnella, of the (lamella Brothers, who performed in Variety Halls and cir cuses some eight or ten years ago. Stand ing on his brother’s shoulders, Robert sprang up and revolved backward twice, landing on the shoulders with his feet. When it is considered that the. double somersault by other performers is accomplished by a short run w hich gives momentum, a spring board which materially adds the upward bound, and no restriction as to the point of alight ing, the feat by young Garnella must be classed among the unprecedented marvels of the acrobatic art. This great feat is the dream of the young and ambitious acrobat. It requires phe nomenal dexterity of body, and is known to be so dangerous that few- have even at tempted it. Fame and fortune await any performer who can do it, say twenty times m one tenting season. Were it not that cir cus managers believe that the feat, or even (he attempt, repeated a limited number of times, will certainly result in a broken neck, they could well afford to pay the performer SIO,OOO to $20,1)00 for a season. Weredt not a proved fact it would seem that the laws of gravitation and the limitations of physical dexterity forbade the turning of triple somersault. To turn a double somer sault from a spring board it is necessary to make a leap at an angle of about 30° to obtain the necessary “ballast'’ or impetus, to turn twice, ff an almost perpendicular leap is made the acrobat would not have leverage enough to turn. In order to accom plish the double, the performer has to leap from the spring board with all his might to get the proper angle as well as to attain a sufficient height, so that he may have time to turn twice before alighting. The same conditions govern the triple somersault, only that it is necessary to go about one third higher in the air. TRIPLE SOMERSAULTS. It was said a few years ago that with the exception of Sam Iteinhardt, of Columbus, the famous Bob Stickney, and an English leapor whose name has escaped my memory, no gymnast in America had sufficient power to leap higher than was necessary to accom plish a double. Not that these three men could at that, or any other time, accom plish triple somersaults at will, but they could do more than a double. The skeptic may say triple somersaults may be accom plished by the aid of higher and more powerful spring-boards than those in use, but first-class performers say that these would merely change the angle, and the re sult would "be the same. Of course, the board could be placed high enough, but the specific gravity of tho performer’s body would be inceeased in descending. The height is not the only trouble. If it were only height such men as Stickney, by im proved appliances and practice, would over come thut difficulty. But after the body has turned twice the performer “loses his catch," or control of his body, and the law of gravitation overcomes bodily dexterity. His head being heavier than his feet, he is apt to light on it first and break his neck. The first remembered attempt to throw a triple somersault in this country was by a performer in Van Amburgh's circus in Mo bile, Ala., in 1542. He fell on his head and broke his neck. Another attempt was mado hi London, Eng., in 1840. It was made in Ast,ley’s Amphitheatre, then leastsl to Howe and Cushing, the American managers. In the company were Mr. I. Lipman, a fine vaulter, now in Cincinnati; the late Levi J. North, a famous equestrian; the late Wil liam O. Dale, an acrobat and equestrian, w ho afterward lost his sight and died at Cin cinnati, and William I. Hobltes, a champion gaper. It was previously announced that Hobbes would attempt a triple, and tho house was jammed. Ho tried it and was in stantly killed. OTHER FATALITIES. The next to attempt tho dangorous feat 'van John Amor, who was born in the homo of Dan Rice’s father, near Girurd, Ra. Amor traveled for years in this country with Dan Rice’s circus, and in that day was considered tho greatest gymnast in Ameri ca, it not in the world, lie was said to bo tho first performer in America to turn u double somersault over four horses. In 18.511 he went to England, and traveled with a • ncus all through tho United Kingdom. In the some year he attempted to turn a triple somersault at the Isle or Wight, but landed on bis forehead, after ho turned twice, and broke his neck. Billy Dutton performed the greatest feat while a member of Lake’s Circus, at Lik horu, 111., in psfiO, at a rehearsal, in the presence of John Lowlow, the famous clown. Dutton was ambitious to suy that he did it, but did not make the attempt with the intention of repeating it. He made tho leap from n high spring-board, and actually turned three timea. Dutton was very proud, but sensibly said that ho would not try it again, and tnnt his alighting on his feet was an ho could not con trol his lxxiy after turning the second time. Frank Stork, who was roared by John “oblnson, undertook tho feat at the Fair grounds in Indinnaiiolis in 18<0 for a wager of SIOO. In the first attempt he turned three times, but alighted on his hands. Evcry *,ody was satisfied with the result, and tho ffiODnv was teuderod him. He proudly re fused it, saying that the feat had not been perfectly accomplished; that he would re peat, it and alight upon his feet before lie felt sufficiently justified in taking the #IOO. He did re\>eat it, but struck on his head, dis locating his neck, and his death resulted a few hours afterwards. Bob Stickney, the Apollo Belvedere of the modern arena, accomplished the great ieat at the age of 14 years, while practicing in the Hippo Theatre, on Fourteenth street, New York, in 1846. William Stein, at the time an attache of the circus, ami who now, with his wife, gives a 4 ‘second-sight” per formance, was one of the poisons who held tho common woolen blanket upon which Stickney alighted. Sam Bermiardt, of Columbus, 0„ a re tired leaper, while traveling with the Cooper and Bailey circus, in 1840, Ix-came dissatis fied with tho double somersault feat, in w hich 110 was an adept, and burned to per form the triple. At Toledo be announced that he would make the attempt, and he did so, notwithstanding the advice of his friends not to try it. Bam made a splendid high leap, actually turned three times, but lauded on his seat instead of his feet. A BOLD OFFER. Bob Stickney, who fc now traveling with Forepaugli’s circus, was interviewed in Detroit last Decoration Day. He said: ‘‘l did it once, as related in your article, and, although I have confined myself to riding, and have done no leaping for seven years, I can do it again. I get the highest wages in the profession, S2OO a week, but if any circus manager will give mo s’loo a week I will engage to attempt a triple at evoiy stand during the tenting season. I do not mean to make the attempt more than once a day, and only in the day-time.” “Would you need uny improved or original apparatus!” was asked. “No. I would simply need the usual spring board at five or six feet from the ground; hut I would need a strong net with fine meshes. Farina introduced tho net when he came to this country in 1878, and in Barnum’s circus fired a woman out of a cannon into the air. It was really a very strong spring which elevated the per former. The net into which she fell made the feat possible. If over the t riple somer sault can be made a daily performance it will be by means of the net. If I under took it I would have a straw mattress ten feet square and one foot thick placed on the ground about twenty feet from the spring board. On this I would have a feather mattress ot the same length and width, but about two foot thick. On the top of the latter and touching it I would have a strong net with meshes not more than once ineli apart and strained perfectly tight. For S3OO a week I wouldmake a daily attempt at the afternoon performance to accomplish this feat, but it would seem that leaping was going out of fashion now adays. Binco we had a fatal accident at the opening of the season Forepaugh has discontinued tho leaping act altogether.” That a triple somersault was ever accom plished before a circus audience after due announcement, and under the same condi tions as double somersaults are performed, may be seriously doubted. TOBACCO TO SMOKE. Money Puffed Away by this Big Nation. From the Philadelphia News. Six cigars are here. One retails for 4c., another for sl, and the others sell for 10c., 15c., 25c., and 50c. Now which is which said a retail dealer, to a reporter, who chose them in the following order: 15c., 50c., 5c., sl, 10c., and 25c., much to his amusement. “Don’t bo discouraged; there are few who can tell a good cigar when they see it, and there are fewer still who really care wheth er or not they get a good one. Most smokers buy a cigar simply to have something in their months, and not because they enjoy the exquisite; aroma of good to bacco. In England, where every cigar is an imported one, and where, even to buy a villainously bad one you must pay sixpence (12c.), the majority of smokers use a pipe. That is because pipe tobacco is general] v pretty good, and a pipe that has been well seasoned gives its own flavor to the tobacco, making it taste good, even if it is only third rate. Over there cigars are seldom smoked out of doors, for it is a known and appre ciated fact that to thoroughly onjoy a good cigar you must bent rest, aud must have ease and comfortable surroundings. It is a luxury, and wants to be treated as such. Walking along the street, especially on windy days, your cigar burns too fast and too unevenly for the filler and wrapper to affiliate, so to s|>eak, however well they may have been chosen, or however skillfully they may havo lieen mechanically united. A SMOKER OR A “PUFFER.” “I can tell directly I see a man light his cigar whether he is going to enjoy his smoke, indeed, whetlierlie knows how to do so. I often smile when I see n man looking wisely through a bufldle of cigars and pick ing out one under the fond impression that he is making me think he is a judge. There is an old story of a man who went into a store and asked for the best cigar the dealer had. Ho was handed a ten cent cigar. That didn’t satisy him; he wanted a more expensive one. He was shown several, ranging fifteen, twenty, twent.y-five and fifty cents pieces, but be always pretended that they were not good enough, although anv of them was an excellent article, the most expensive being so only on account of its brand, and perhaps its perftuno or some little matter of that kind. At last the tobacconist became an noyed and wearied, so ho determined to settle the matter. ‘I have a cigar here whioh I seldom sell, liecause 1 have only one box left; they are a dollar each and are very choice.’ “ ‘Why didn’t you bring ’em out before?’ said the customer. Accordingly the dealer handed him one of his sc. cigars, pocketed the dollar and tho man went uway perfectly satisfied. I don’t think that is aii exagger ated case. I know that in nine cases out of ten where people ask for a very ex|>ensive cigar it is only because they happen to be flush of money and want to brag of tho big price they have paid for their smoko, THE COST OF CIGARS. “Now I pay S3O a thousand for my sc. cigars, which gives a profit of S2O a thous and. The actual cost to tho manufacturer for that brand of cigar is about from *2O to $2,5 a thousand. The maker is paid from $8 to $9 a thousand; the i>acker $1 to #1 50 per thousand for sortingund packing; the boxes cost 7c. each; a fancy stamp lc. each, and with rent, interest on investment and profit the figure comes close to 425. “The tobacco crop has of course increased wonderfully Twenty years ago tho year’s production was 200,000,000 pounds; this year there will not be loss tliuu 800,000,000 pounds grown. “In addition to the tobacco raised in this country the imports of the present year will make a total of not less than fifteen pounds per capita for the entire population of the United States. Half of thut produced, how ever, is exported, which will make the home consumption average about eight pounds per capita. The value of the Im ported tobacco and imported cigars amounts annually to about. $12,000,000; adding the $8,000,000, will bring the total paid tor It hv the American consumers up to #20.000,000, which sum is of course doublet! or trebled before it reaches tho smoker in the shape of imported cigars. Tho cigar manufactories in this country will make over 8,500,000,000 cigars this year and about j,ooo,ooo,ooocigarettes. For chewing totuceo ami snuff about 200,000,000 pounds will be used."

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1887. RUMBACH’S ADVENTURES. Hia Experience on a Coffee Plantation in South America. Ftrom the B'an Francisco Chronicle. Among the passengers who arrival by the steamer San Jose last week from Guate mala was a former resident of this city, who during the past year has had a varied and trying experience in South America. Joseph Kumbaeh is a German of about 30 years of ago. He is a gardener by trade, and has worked for some of the best people in this t-ity. About ten months ago he sailed from this city tor Callao, in Peru, thinking to better his fortune. Like many others he bad an idea that silver and gold were plentiful m South America, and that any intelligent foreigner could make money faster than in this country. A few days in Callao and Lima, however, soon disabused his mind of this idea, and he was glad to accept a place as gardner on tho hacienda of Mr. Orbogoso, seven days’ ride on muloback into the interior of the coun try ovor the Cordillera mouutnins. Accord ing to his letter of Instructions, which he has with him, he was to receive S2O a mouth in silver, a house in the yard of tho hacien da house, bed and bedding and his meals. His duties wore to look after and improve tho flower and vegetable gardens attached to the house. When he arrived at the hacienda he found that it was a barren coffee plantation, and that he was expected to work with tho In dian laborers in the coffee fields. His house consisted of an adolxs hut of one room, with no windows, and nothing hut a cot mattress and a pair of blankets in the way of furni ture. He stuck to lus work for about four weeks, hoping his position might be im proved, but, finding no likelihood of a change, resolved to throw up the situation and try to better himself. He went to the administrator, or manager, and told him he wished to leave. To his surprise, he found that he would not be allowed to do so, but that he must remain aud work, whether he liked it or not. This was on Wednesday. The next Mon day 110 packed his clothing in a hag, slung it across his shoulders and started to retrace on foot the weary journey across tho moun tains to the coast. On the evening of the second day, while sitting in the house of an Indian in the village, tnero came a knock at the door. It was thrown open, and in rushed tho administrator of the hacienda, with seven men, all armed with rifles, at his back. Rumbabh was seized and taken to the jail, where he spent tho next twenty four hours. The jail was a close, hot place, without windows or any other means of ventilation. On the following day he was taken back to the hacienda and forced to go to work again. He was told that he could not get away, and was urged to marry an Indian girl and settle down contentedly to work. About three weeks after his return he again told the administrator that he wished to leave, and was again refused. That night a Spaniard, who was also a laborer on the plantation, came to Him and warned him that if he did not comply with the wishes of the administrator he would lie put in chains and worked like the Indians. Hum bach states thut the administrator and his chief assistants were absolute roasters of all the men on tho plantation. They tried them tor any infractions of the rules, and sentenced them to the chaiu-gang under a boss, who drove them at their work with a whip, which ho did not scruple to use on the slightest provocation. For more serious offenses both imprisonment and whipping were tho punishment. Not relishing the outlook, Rumhack re solved to make another attempt to escape from slavery. At 2 o'clock the next morn ing he climbed over the wall of the portico, and again started on a tramp to the coast. For six days and nights he tramped over the mountains, carefully avoiding the only beaten rood, for ho was warned by some friendly Indians the first day of his journey that lie was being pursued He lived on such fruits and berries as he could pick, and upon tho occasional gifts of the Indians who guided and assisted him in his flight. On the seventh day he reached the coast and mode his way to Callao, and from there to Lima He went to the German Minister and told his story. The Minister told him ho could do nothing for him, and advised him to go back to work. This Kumbaeh declined to do, but sought work in Lima. He finally secured a place under the municipal govern ment in the public gardens at $1 a day, out of which he had to pay for rooms and meals. In two months he had managed to save enough to pay for a passage by" steamer to Panama, whore he worked for six weeks and then sailed for Honduras. Another short stay here, with labor on a coffee plan tation, gave him the funds to pay his fare to San Jose do Guatemala, where he secured work in the gardens of the late President Barrios, and, after that job was completed, on a coffee plantation owned by a Swiss gentleman. In throe months lie had enough to bring him back to Sail Francisco, where he arrived a few days ago, heartily sick of Spanish countries and glad to get back to a land where a foreigner has some rights which the natives respect. Peru, he says, is about the worst place in the world for foreigners. Ho met there ninny Americans, Germans, French and English, who were striving to get away. Many of them were actually in n state of starvation. Since the war with Chili money has been scarce. All the work not done by the Indians is in the hands of the Chinese and Italians, who can live on wages which would simply mean slow starvation to any one else. Rutnhach says that there are actually more Chinese in Lima than native Peruvi ans. Nearly all the business is done by them, and many of them are married to white girls. The Chineeso keep the stores and charge exorbitant prices for every thing's the paper ourreney of the country is wortn only 10c. on the dollar, and prices are mado in accordance with tho vulue of the cir culating medium, only in an in verso ratio. His advice to any man who has work of uny kind in America is not to go to Peru with the idea that he can better his position by doing so. In other Central and South American States the condition of things is not so bad, but no one without capital has a fair chance to make a living. Tho Literary School Marm. From the Few York Graphic. There was a romantic marriage out in St. Louis the other day, the bride lieing Miss McLone, a rather clover New England woman, and the groom T. L. Green, a miner, from the Chihuahua country of Mexico. Tho engagement was one of long standing, and Mies McLane hail journeyed all the way from Europe to meet and wed the man of her choice. She made the long trip unattended, ami would probably huvo gone around by way of China could she have reached St. Louis in no other direc tion. The heroine of this wedding is not, unknown to the lltei ary world She taught school up and down the Mm-suehusclts court for a number of years, writing sketches and serials for the magazines between times. Finally, tome live or six years ago, ttie plucky little whoolnmrrn determined to write a novel that would lie 0 hit of a departure from the milk-and-water brand of the school then in voguo. Accordingly she wrote “Cape Cod Folks." The book sold like wildfire for a couple of months and promised to he the sensation of the year. Its characters were portrayed so true to life as to bo recognizable, And in many instances tine names of persons wore used without resorting to aliases. Tlie work was satirical, caustic and all lire, and every old busyDxiy and gossip of the Cape, irre spective of sex 0$ social standing, came in for a hauling over tho coals. Then came an uvalaucbe of libel suits- brought by the Cape Cod folks against the publisher of the volume. The publisher Investigated, found It useless to attempt to flyht toe suits and compromised bv destroying the unsold copies of the work, paying boino of the sliu dei'cd onus sums of money and going into bankruptcy. Mini McLiMp wont abroad and only returned to tie married as above narrated. Sim will accompany her husband to bis Mexican mine aud piubably give up story writing. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTA WORD.
