CARNEGIE SUMMNOED Washington, Dec. 10.—A subpoena directing' Andrew Carnegie to appear before the Ways and Means commit tee to testify regarding the tariff , re vision, was served on the- magnate this morning. “8AWDU8T TOWN. ’ Where Most of the Acrobats and Turn biers Come From' Where <lo all the acrobats and tumb lers come from? Where do they learn their trade There is no school, as such, for the training of the men who Imperil their limbs for a living. The Advance Car Manager, of the Bun Brothers’ Greater shows, which was recently here billing for the appear ance’of their exhibition, and who by the way Is an old retired acrobat and Is now following .the advertising branch of the show business, solved the above questions when he told where he had learned to leap and turn springs In the air and fall on the back of his neck, without Injuring himself. Most of the tented show acrobats, and not few of the rough and tumble commedlans of the stage, who have graduated from the ring) were reared and learned (he rudiments of their business In the lumber towns of the Northwest. In the business there are known as “ Sawdust” towns, on ac count of the sawmills, which are their chief Industry. Thero are many of these In Wis consin and Michigan and several in Iowa that have turned out the hulk ot acrobats and tumblers In the business. In the “Sawdust towns” the small boys have exceptional facdlltles for learning to turn somersets and hand springs In the - gnat bo la of sawdust that surround the mills. Soon they begin to try the more difficult feats they see done In the shows that visit the towns. After school hours they tumble until Ibis time to go home and do the felons.? From out of them all there generally TlW two or three boys who get the knack of acrobatic feats and these work In constant rivalry, each trying to excel the other. One day along comes a tented ahow and the best bOy applies for a Job and shows what he can do. Perhapa he Is given s chance as a "top mounter,” or a top man In a pyramid act, became ho Is light and active. When he gets older, heavier .gild stronger, he may become an “understander,” or one of ths men who help to bold tbe mountain of men on. hi* shoulders. If bo worse hard and studies he may become a good acrobat In time. -But he got his start on a sawdust pile. The Sun Brothers Greater Shows which appear here In the near future present as a special feature an ensemble -of tome of the very best acrobatic r.nd athla* tic acts ever pot together, they will be offered by such clever people os the Atlas Troupe, LaJPaeflue Trouble the Avallon Troupe and the Llnlger Trio.
