Prof. Horace Hill Morzan's penchant for red neckties and red pa nt has gotten h. m into trouble. The Professoris principal of the Central High Schcoi at Fifiee:.th an: Ol ve. and of the brauch high in the Po.ytecuic Bui ding, and for over twenty yeere he bas had high loca: standing, and even some extensive outside reputation as an edu ca tor and axa geutieman of culture Hs presen trouble is with the teachers’ committee of the Puv- lic School Board. who, after considering charges of drunkenness and lewd conduct. have requested his immediate resiznation. His assistant, Prof. Wm. F. Sandford, who has charge of tue br neh High, isin the same boat. Hs immediate resignation is also wanted, and the charge again t him is drunkennexs. The action of the cou.mi.tee has been for the past few daysa carefully usbavded secret with the peop in and around Superintendeat Long's office, and they were at last accounts trying to keep it a secret still, The) shook their heads when approached bya Teer Disrarog reporter and wou.d only say, without g. vin, anytuing in the nature of positive infurma tioa, tuat ther were very sorry for Mr. Morgan and that the matter came to them as great a surprise as would beasuower of granite oratiunder-clap from «a thimble. Tuey neuter coutrad cted nur asserted he rumor, but tsut-tsut-tsuted and shook their heads nc.rcies in astonshment. The news was promptly arrived at, however, and t e simple, un- adorned fact hus been already stated. Superin- @ tendent Long is waiting for Professor Morwan’s resignation, and if it isn’t in hand by Tuesday might be scandaious matters that led to the com- mittee's action iast Monday wili be publicly aired ai he Board meeting wusch takes p ace that night. PROFESSOR MORGAN is charged specificuily wien nav: been in a house of tad repute so mercilessly under the influence of | quor that he heiu possession cf the house for three days, and fiialiy lost his overcoat and fau.cy breast- pin that he was very fond of, in the estav.isomeut. The joss of these articies stirred up the dregs of his debauch and. crowding his judgme t to tue wail, urged him to a pitch of Huiscretion whicu allowed him to kick up a row about the missing proper y. This exciting incid-nt took place about three or four weeks ago, and the Professor had scarcely t me to sober up before the story wa- going the rounas of his friends. With the nove; speed attaching to bad news this particular inst all- ment of it reached headquarters on time and were 00 put in nice shape for the exquisite ears of the members of the, teachers committee. Nobody but themselves seems to know what enjoyment te committee got out of investigation. but it 13 g ny probable tuat, be ng human and bein, full-grown men with beards anu exy eric nce. they listened to the details of the stor) with that gusto which always appertains to recita s of this pecuiiar kind. Tuey listene I to the explan- ation of the charges and tuen decided to give Professor Morgan a chance to resizn.

Ir is to be regretted that Circuit Attorney CLOVER was not fined five hundred dollars, as that would have given five thousand citizens of St. Louis an opportunity of showing their ap- proval of his offense. Association of Missouri for a copy of the annual report of the Executive Committee for the year ending May 7, 1885. Under the cir- cumstances such a report reads like ‘“‘sarkusm.” THE only reputable interest in St. Louis which does not sympathize with Circuit Attor- ney CLOVER isthe criminal bar. There is a deep, strong, but unspoken feeling that the speedy trial and conviction of criminals would render the exiguous emolument of these appari- torsof Themis more precarious than it is at present. THE editor of the New York WoRLD has been sued for libel by Mayor Grace for its articles on the loss of a million dollars of the money of the people in the Marine Bank. Whénever any circumstance is needed to give the expanding circulation of the WorLpa gentle acceleration Destiny kindly steps in and supplies the need. THERE is much plausibility in the theory that the recent Missouri appointments were fixed up soas to strengthen the civil service reform idea by furnishing terrible examples of the evils of the spoils system. It is rather hard on Missouri that our State should have been se- lected forso painfui an experiment. Why did not the President try it nearer home? Oben Washington special says that the com- ing session of the Senate will be marked by a ‘bitter contest over the federal appointments and that Missouri will come in for its share of the Senatorial scrutiny. The two Senators from Missouri are loading themselves down pretty heavily, and will get bowlegged wi h the weight they are carrying on their shoul- ders before the battle begins. THE number of offices simultaneously filled by Pooh Bah in the Mikado“ threatens to be surpassed by the honors of Police Com- missioner GOODING, who is announced as Consul-General to Mexico and Appraiser of the Port. Previous to this the best record for multifarious office holding was that of D. Prrt ROWLAND, who filled the offices of Post- master, Surveyor and Appraiser—in his eye. For years the St. Louis Grand Juries have protested aghinst the delays in the trials of criminal cases and their protests have been duly filed and pigeon-holed. Now that an of- ficer of the court has been fined for protesting too vigorously, all the accumulated indignation of years finds expression. Such a movement is bealthy. It can not fail to do good. It can profitably be kept before the people for a day or two. — ee — Tak about disorder in Ireland, but just note the riot and bloodshed accompanying an election in Merrie England!“ Twenty Tory residences and the two best hotels in Radstock, Somerset, destroyed by mobs—one candi- date dying of his wounds at Aylesbury—scores of voters bruised, banged and crippled at Worthing—fifty in the hospital at Wilton among them the Liberal M. P. elect, who would have been thrown into the river by the mob, if a force of sixty policemen had not arrived in time to rescue and escort him to a place of safety—these are only a part of the casualties of one day, with rioting and fighting at the polis almost everywhere, and the bloody thing protracted through several woeks—and that is an English Parliamentary election among those highly civilized, mild and merciful Britons. Im his letter of thanks to the electors of Midlothian, Mr. GLADSTONE scouts the idea of a possible coalition of Whigs and Tories, and the Radical leader, JOSEPH CHAMBEERLAaIN, while saying that PaRNELL made a great mis- take in trying to throttle the Liberal party, the only great machinery for securing justice to Ireland, expresses the opinion that there between the lites and the Liberals. As the indica- * fbr votes or more of a majority over both 4ozen Tories and Parnellites, and as about thirty of | the Liberals are strongly pledgeg to real Home Rule for Ireland, there is a favorable outlook for the attainment of the object to which Mr. PARNELL and his eighty-six followers will direct all their efforts. They may not get all they would like to have—such radical progress is hardly possible under the slow-moving Brit- ish Government—but substantial improvement in the right direction can hardly be delayed much longer, when even the Tory party has developed a Democratic and Home Rule wing. _ Mayor GRacr’s suit against the New York wont for $50,000 damages only shows how fortunate New York City is in the possession of one journal that dares give rich and power- ful but badly besmurched officials a chance to vindicate their official records in court. Mayor Grace has been rather slow about availing himself of the opportunity which the WORLD has persistently dangled before his eyes for two months past, He screwed his courage up to the sticking point, however, when the WORLD on Wednesday, in its comments on General SHaALeER's fall, said: What otuer results could ve anticipated? At the head of the city government is a Mayor who, thou h enormuusiy rob and above the err ble temptation of poverty wuich led to General Shaier's fail, and el: cie under the sham of Refurm, was a sharer in transactions which have a re dy sent two men to State prison and cause! the wwdictment of two others. The city of New York lost about $1,000,000 by the breaking of the Marine Bank by the tirm of Grant & Wand, and the books of that buible-blowing concern showed payments of interest or profits to Mayor GRACE, and per- haps to other persons more or less connected with the custody and safe-keeping ot the city’s money. Such a remarkable state of affairs calis for a judicial investigation of some sort, and as there has been no indictment or prose- cution, the WORLD has stepped into the breach and will give the lucky Mayor, who made money where the city lost, a chance to show, ff he can, that his reputation as an honest man and faithful official is still worth something in current funds. Roscox CoNKLING conducts the case for the WoRLD, and the result will probably be a cause celebre which men in charge of city funds will not soon forget. — — — — MEN OF MABA. vaad was jeaivus of oue D .vid Wallace.

Extravagant Salaries a Temptation to Their Criminal Production. The “Comprachicos” Revived -No Limit to the Possi- ble Disfigurement of the Human Form. The Absolute Manufacture of Dwarfs, Skeletons, Hairy Men and Women, and Misshapen and Distorted Bod- ies of All Descriptions Possible— the What History Says — What Medicos of To-Day Say—What the Museum Managers Will Not Etce.—A Tale Smacking Horror, Etc., Where do the dime museums get all tbeir “freaks?” The freik“ is a human being, but sufficiently unique in some or all of its parts to be covsidered a freak of nature, With the birth of the dime museum some four years ago, the real demand i» America for freaks bezan. Tue museums have been great financial successes and have spread remarkably. Hardly a city of 25,000 inbabitants now but has one, and in the largest cities there are several in ho: rivalry. Whatever else the museum may set forth, the drawing card is always some freak or oddity of the human race. A Zuiu chief is of great interest, but not a freak; a skeleton man is a simon-pure freak. With the birth ofthe museum the freaks being scarce came at once into the command of enormous salaries. Althou:h now 80 greatly multiplied, they are still far behind the der aud, and fort e rarer class extravagant salaries a & yet paid. The publ.c oommoniy suppose these salar- ies to be fict tious, but they are not. For instance, “Krao,” ca led the missing link.“ but in reality a specimen of a strange wild tribe of Nortbern Siam, lately exhibiied in St. Louis, was advertised as drawing $1000a week sa arr. Tie actual sum paid was $500 per week. Where there is competi- tion she brings $700 aud $8 Ou week, and in the smali cities not less than 83%. Lucia Zurate was paid 3800 last spring when here. Any kind of a good freak brings from 850 a week up. The camel-backed giri does not show ior less than $100, but was origin- ally brouzht out by Gregory in 8. Louis for $20 a week, The “midgets” al bring enor nous figures— figures which those who are unfamiliar with te souderful accretive powers of the steady-dropping dime wou d think it impossibie for a museum to pay. Cnthecontrary, tattooed people have be- come so common as to bring but $10 a week, while Circassian girls and the like, who are generaliy “fakes,” or frauds, can be hed as low as $5 a week. In other words, human curiosities will now earn as much money asthe best talent upon the stage. The individual who owns or CONTROLS A FREAK has as soft a ching as the laziest and greediest man in the country could wish. To secure freaks and noveities it is neediess to say that the word hax been scoured. Hardly a child is now born in the United States with an extra toe, or a crooked thumb, but is offered to some museum manager. But the freaks of high price, freaxs that will make the multitu‘ie stand ag ast, are far too scarce to bring salaries down o a reasonable fig- ure. The museums have without doubt come to stay, and the de nand is certain to be seady. It of ti ering, to most urgently bunt for afreak. It will pay bim to find one even asa goid mine. ons, the infernait thought may possibly dome to him to produce one. For a gold mine what thoughts may not come to the man born with the instincts of a criminal and the ferocity of an Italian padrone? In this eniigBtened and humane century the idea of distorting or disfiguring a caiid for purposes of exhibition is too dreadful for contemplation. And ve, in the very fact that guch a thing is almost unihiokabie, and will not therefore be suspected, lies the greatest security of tie person who does it. And why is it unthinkable when the fact remains that chilaren are to-day mutilated in Italy that they may become successful b-ggars? The present king, we know, has done muc.: to stamp out this horror, but it yet exists, and if the year 188 finds a child pur. posely disfigured for the insignificant gaius of beggury, what flengish acts of surgery may not be siimulated bya surety of wea!th. There is nothing tuat the depths of criminal pov- erty is not capable of. And the nm alformine, the ingenious disfigure- ment of the human body anyth.ng new? By no manner of means. History is as full of it as of daies and bloodshed, and perverted surgery is older than civiization. Before Curstlanny was born the Chinaman knew how to MOULD THE LIVING MAN. He took a child of 2 Sars, of age and put it in a fantastic porcelain vase without a bottom, exposing both head and feet. By day the vase was kept erect; atnight it was lain down. that tue child might sleep. The child grew bigger withour growing taller | and filled up the embossments of tne vase wish com pressed flesh and iwisted bones. Hig growth in the bottle lasted several years, aud at a given per. od was without remedy. When it was decided that the mould had ta.eu and the monster was made, they broke the vase, the ch iq Caine our, and they hada man in the form of a Quaint pot Wass would notsuca a dwarf bring per week in an American museum? And how easy, how simple such dana performed without kite be instrument—not necessary b ai 3 dat cuild, ume and From time immemorial dwarfs and freaks have been the pets and sports of monarchs and court, and great were the efforis to 1 theus. 80 late as the Peventeent. Century there existed n Ea sland and throug. out Europe a strange, nomadic band, or association, or affiliation of men, called “Compra- Fos.“ whose businers was the buying-up aud ation or of ch. dren, the Say, of ibaa wise ae: pat ph easy has the following to say: Bare * he Comprachicos drove a treffic in ol they bought them, they sold them, théy miade monsters of them—for laughter’s sake, They were bringers-up Taey took a child. and they made an abortion; they took 6 face end they made a snout. They bent down growth; they kneaded physiognomy. This artificia) production of monstrosities had its ’ 5 * rules. It was altogether a scicnve, Where God had placed vision, this art placed strabismus; where God bad put harmony they had put deformi- ty. Tue Comprachioos worked up a man as the Chines» wort up a tres. They had secrets as we have said, This ig a lost art, A orrtain fantastic stunting Came from their bands. It was prepnster, ous, but deep set. They touched up a little being with so much tact that its own father would not rec- ognize it. Sometimes they left the spinal columa straight, but they REMADE THE FACE. They took the mar out of a child as one takes the mark out of a handkerohief. Tne progeny in- tended for jugglers had their joints dislocated in a ente way. Not only did they take away from tue child bis countenance; they also deprived him of his memory. At least they took away all they couid, The chllu was uncon- seiou of the mutilation that be had underxouve., This fearful surgery .eft a trace upon his face, not in bis mind.

They were very useful to James II. It was an epoch when cumbersome and refractory fami- lies thinned off, when dependents were cut short. when beirs were abruptiy suppre-sed.

By ita terma tue Compracuicos, tar en and duly con- victed, were to be branded upon the shoulder and upon both hands.“ ‘ What has been freely quoted above is only an index of what human crueity is capable of when there is a motive for it. K ngs and counis no longer requ.re puppets, dwarfs and moustros ties, and their makers have b en suppressed. Until recently the profit in such has been meagre and precar.ous. The freak wth us has been co fined to the cheap side-8..0w waich follows a circus, and in Europe to a still lower grade of peany-a-g.f shows. Bu now ag aia, as in the Seventeeutà Century. the freak is in demand, and he wins in America a foriune for his lucky possessor. Under such circums ances will he not again become numerous and again be made toorder? Is the freak not already increasing fast, and is not per- verted surgery Oace more at work somewhere in the world? l Consider for a moment the ¢xcessively smal! people that are now termed “midgets,” They are not dwarfs. Tom Thumb was a dwarf; that is, a stunted min, a very small man. But the “midge’s” are not diminutive men and women They est only as clammy-looking bits of un- wholesome fizsh. They are smaler than many babes at birth. They never grew, they never had growth; they ars not stunted, they are li:tl- more than disgusting dabsof animated putty Whoever looked at one Witoout a shudder. and a creeping, und dden f-eling that it never came so by fair means? We are getting accustomed even to “midgets” and scarcely wonder at them al- though the first appeared hardiy ten years ago Bear in mind that medica: ecieoce accounts for the Tom Thumbs. but u teriy fails on these living abortions. Consiier also that from time imme- morial dwarfs have been in the greatest demand; tuat they have ALWAYS BEEN GREAT PRIZES; that kings eudeavorei to surpass eich other in the smailness of Lieir dwarfs. Yet in all history we have not the siizhtest indication that a “midget” was ever seen or known. All nature and tue art and surgery of thuusands of years was only able to produc. such dwarfs as Tom Thumb. Its it too muca to suspect thatthe fortune that Tom Thumb made together wih his wouderfu! recep- tion in Europe, are responsible for the hand- length, uupieasaut “midgets” of to-day? If the „widget“ is a pure accident of nature, and is bor: wi hout possessing the principle of growth, how does it happen that he was nt born in all the centuries that preceJed 1875? This ig a subject upon which no physician is informed, or can give a direct opinion. He can only see the facts as the rest of us. fe took hundreds of years of chemical research to discover how towork rubber, Why may we not suppose that a physiologicai Goodyear has disc vered the secret of eliminating growth from the animal ody! Certain itis thateach year sees new “midgets” brought out, avd the owners riding royally to wealth. The midget—well, it lives. The owner rakes the dollars. In regard to the other curiosities and monstrosi- ties which are now exhinited so extensively, and which are constantly b-ing added to, it is only nec - essary to say that a very considerable proportion can be reproduced. Te first specimen of each may have been acc dental, but the accident is capable of being repsated. The knee joints of a child may be easil, forced bac so as to cause the leg to ven | the wrong way, as is seen in tie 80- called camel-backed girl, and the camel-backed boy. Nobody can manufacture Siamese twins, but very many distortions may be forme lat will, and far greater novelties than are now exhibited can be readily produced. The oniy tuing that stands in the way of our velieving tuat such wore is being performed is our unfamiliari:y with vice aud crime, aad the brutality whica exists in the lowest walks of life. Weare foolish enough in our kind hearts to believe that no one w ud hurt à child THE MUSEUM MANAGER. : What does the museum mauager say about the production of moustrositie:? He says what any other interested nan would say. He knows noth- ing of it, and he says truly. It is his business to hire avy and all curiosities that comealong that will pay. A ready-made tale goes with enen freak, and beyood tuis the mus um manager knows noth- ing and cares to knuw nothing.

What do the medical fraternity say about the Production of freaks? Few or none have given the matter any thought, and not one would like to put on record by walking up to some exhibited } Monstrosity and and pronouncing it a product of malicious surgery, whoever he might privately susprct. The surgeons, toa man, are engaged in repairing malformations, not making them. Not an intelligent representative of the profession, however, but will admit that distortions are much easier made thau mended, The skillful surgeo of the day kuowe bow to make a new nose when the natural one bas disappeared, but he never tried to graft forel zn flesh to a man's fore- head that the same individual might be exhibited as “a hofned man of Africa.“ In se@ning professional information upon perverted sur.ery and the like, the writer met with much bashfuiness on the part of prominent medical gen- tlemen. The point desired to be made, however, that the possible distor ion of the human body 1 almost uulimited, met with the strongest possible imdorsemeut. aq DR. CHARLES A. TODD, Prof-ssor of comparative anatomy at the Missou- ri Medical College, spoke very unreservedly and emphatically upon this pont. He saii in substance; he human body, if taken sufficiently young, can be pervertel to almost any extent w thout destroying life. Before the bones becume bard they may be bent and twisted in aimost any direction. The flesh and the face will also undergo a great deal of mutilation. Any surgeon could, if the motive existed, produce the most horrible dis- tortions of body and even of head. Indeed, you may say that the malformation that may be brought about is only limited bythe diabolica! desire: of the oper tor.“ “Is distortion possible after the adult period is reached?” “Oh, yes. to some extent. You have doubtiess read bow derviaues bave in India held out aa aru) at right anulesto the body until its position be- came fixed and the arm could not be bent again."’ “Do you think that children are ever mutilated or deformed for a purpose?" “Without douvt they have been so maltreated in Italy, and put upon the streets as beggars. There is much less of it than some years ago, however. It is among the Italian beggars that the most horribly deformed bodies are seen. The object is. of course, to excite pity aud charity.” “Has surgery reacued the point where it can really re tore a nose!“ “Certain y. and even the whole scalp. The entire scalp may be removed and then replaced by pieces cut from the heads of others. Tue transplanted hair will grow of the same color as the bead from whch it was taken. By judiciou~ selection of different colors. a humau head could thus be made into a checkerboard.” “By this art could not so ne wonderful! freaks or cur osities be produced! . “They probably could. Some years ago a French soldicr en Algiers made an incision ina rat's nose and bound the tail of another rat to it. In the course of time the tail took root in the nose, and was then cut off c ose uptothe body ofthe rat that owned it, Tue Frenchman then successfully exhibited his production i: Paris, caliim: it the ‘trumpet-nosed rat of Africa,’ the tail growing quite naturaily out of the nose of the rat. if so much can be done with an animal, we may believe that similar effects could be produced upon the human body.“ OPINION OF A FREAK EXPERT. Dr. George G. Shley. „% is the American manager of the freak Krao.“ and whose uncle. Sig or Farini, is manager of the Royal Aquarium in London, is the best informed man in this country on the subject of human curio iies, He has for vears traveled all over the worid in search of them. penetratin, the depths of Asia and South America fur specimeus of curious peoples. In regard to the maiming and distorting of children he says: There is not a large city in Europe, or in America for that matter, where this thing is not practiced. You don't bel:eve it when it comes close home, but 1 tel: you i is so. The vicious poor are capable of anything. Nothing is easier than this maltreatment of children. Any physician can, in the very act of child-birth, terribly deform the head of the child. Ido not handle freaks thai are monstrosities or repulsive in appearance Without a doubt, though, deformities can be pro duced to any desired extent, and I be ieve they ar. produced in Europe for begging purposes. Nor is the mutilation of children confined entirely to the vicious class. There are c:ildren constantiy maimed in Germany and Russia that they may always beexempt from the odious aud arduous mil tary duty exacted from all men. In such cases the deformity or mut ilat on is carried only just far enough to secure exemption. Almost any injury to tne foot or ler that renders the walk imperfect is sufficient for this purpose. he Italian padrone, the aristocrat of beggars, has no more love for his ciiid than for a piece ef furniture, and he will maltreat it or part with it as readiiy.” Theee are stron: words from an educated German physic.anand a man familar wit every phase of the cheap show busicess in ali quarters of the giobe. WHAT ARE WE TO THINK? Does the writer of this affirm that any curiosity now on ex. ibition has been malciousiy produced for pecuniary gain? No; such a specific assertion would be entirely unsusceptibie of proof. But all of us may, and if we examine the whole subject must believe that such have been made, and that the tem vtation was no ver $0 grrat as now to continue the making, and to exerc.se the greatest ingenu ty in the production of novelties. Given the becunlary motive (and it is now at hand) and the age is capable of far sur- pas-ing the deviltry of the Compracnicos and the bruta hy of the seventeenth ceniury. As the sur- geons inform us that there ia no li it tothe possi- bilit.es of tie manipulation of the human form, so is tuere no limit to the brutality of a lazy beast who would I ke to draw $100 a week dont nothing. What has been done in the past is uopleasant to think upon; what may ve done in the near future 1 too horrible to contemplate calmly. Freak“ manufacture is yet in its infancy.
