His Municipal Circus, with City omcers as Clowns and Members of a Kazoo Band Organized to Help Out Bis Po- tato Patch Scheme. Mayor Hazen S. Pingree, who has been elected Mayor of Detroit three consecu‘ ti-ve times, widely noted for his eccen- tricities, is to-day a unique political figure in Michigan, says a Detroit corre- spondent of the Chicago Tribune. Re cently he has become nationally promi- nent as the first mayor to secure a 3-cent street railway fare in the United States. This was accomplished after a three years’ war with the Detroit Citizen’s Street Railway Company. Recently the mayor came out in a bread crusade. The bakers were robbing the people; these was a bread trust, he said. He wanted the price of bread re- duced to a three-pound loaf for 5 cents. If it wasn’t he swore he would start a bakeshop himself. One day last summer the mayor was driving with Mrs. Pingree on the boule- vard. She remarked it was pity so much waste land as adjoined the boulevard should lie idle when there were thou- sands of poor people suffering for food. The next day the mayor visited real es‘ tate men and capitalists, and before night had secured permission to use free over 1,000 acres of land. He appointed an agricultural commission, and within a Week had 945 poor families planting potatoes, grains and vegetables. There were 3,000 applicants from the poor for land, but the season was so late only 410 acres of land were cultivated.

There were 14,475 bushels of potatoes alone raised, valued at $14,000. Audit cost the city $3.600. To defray this cost the mayor started a municipal circus. and grounds rented, Aldermen dressed in outlandish costumes, the City Comp« troller made into a ringmaster, the Pres- dent of the Common Council into a clown and the City Assessors into a kazoo band. A strolling circus was chartered With rakes, shovels, drums, goat teams and all sorts of outlandish rigs, the mu- nicipal circus paraded the streets, the City Comptroller at the head on a don- key three feet high. This circus did not pay as well as expected, and the mayor then raised the remainder of the ex- penses of his poor farm exclusively from city employees by subscription, really an assessment.

There was a long delay in the Board of Educa- tion over the matter of awarding the contracts. One night recently the mayor appeared before the Board and made a dramatic speech, charging the school inspectors with receiving bribes. One of the inspectors was convicted in the courts, one was acquitted, another at- tempted to commlt suicide, and is soon to be tried, and a fourth left the ”city, forfeiting his bail bond. The mayor started a war against the local gas company. He found a clause in the company’s charter specifying that the company should sell gas as low as sold in certain other cities. He refused to pay his gas bill, and demanded a re- bate in accordance with the price of gas in the cities specified in the company’s charter. He publicly ‘advised all gas consumers to do the same, and there were numerous consultations and finally a compromise between the city and com- pany by which a large reduction in, the price of gas has been gained, with many minor provisions benefitting the general public. The mayorwants to build a city hall and county buildings which will last a century. He recently chloroformed his ' carriage horses, as he did not want to feed them during the winter. Among other things the mayor has se- cured a higher taxation of lands, a pub- lic bath house at Belle Isle Park, a reduction of the price of ferryboat rides, the placing of an improved girder- grooved rail in the street for street car tracks, an infinitely better system of public sewers and a much better class of pavements. Patti and Queen ‘Victoria. Last week for the first time Queen Victoria heard Adelina Patti sing. This will sound strangely to the many who do not know that for many years there has not been the kindliest feelings between Her Majesty and the famous singer. The coolness arose when Patti declined to recognize the Queen’s right to command her to appear before her. On that occa- sion she said: “There are many queens, but there is only one Patti!” The trouble, such as it was, must have been fixed up. Patti is now in her fifty- third year, and has, of course, lost much of her charm. For forty years she has been before the public as a professional. Yet the Queen should account herself happy we.
