CINCINNATI, August Il, 1913.
Hail Storm at Cincinnati Theatrical and Other
Matters
A hail storm passed over the city Yesterday, AID
thas given quite impetus to the glazing business
The weather for the last two weeks has been inn
moderately hot and now it is unseasonably cool.
The democrats are in extacies about the result OF
the Kentucky and lndiana elections, and-the
Mayor OF this city has enforced the dog law
Chppendale took benefit last night AT the Ma
tlonal Theatre, and made silly speech about Eng
lish actors. He claimed to be hall an American
himself-thus repudatng his native country in or
der to gather dollars and cents in this. Verify
Charles Dickens the love of the dollar is not pecu
liar TO us Yankees. These English actors are In
general the worst specimens we meet OF our trans
atlantic brethren. The great majority OF them are
third fourth rate artists, and many no artists a.
all. The new company in this city was composed
of these Inferior people, and although we deal IN
pork IN all its shapes, we could not stand tnis gam
mon. The theatre failed deservedlv, and will al
ways fail as long as such players as Fredercs Tom
Placide, Chippendale, Mesdames Mclean and Pen.
sustain the leading characters think you'll
hear OF another mob here In few days DANDY
FOSTER owes about SS13 900 to the mechanics who
improved the theatre, and as he paid no rent, the
original owner, John Bates, walked In with the
yesterday and took possession OF his property
Foster is insolven and Bates is not responsible, and
both parties say that the mechanics must whistle
for their money The creditors held meeting the
other night and resolved that they would whistle so
loud that the walls of the theatre should shake I'M
der the blast 1t is not insured You may remem-
her (for apprised you OF it at the timel that this
house was built with the "West Union" shlDpas-
tiers, and that the banking partner Of Bates, Sur
tees, absconded with large amount OF funds, and
now resides magnificentIy in the isle OF Wight
Bates was mobbed something over a year ago on
account Of his Exchange Bank Of Cincinnati" mo-
ney, and is hugely unpopular yet; and now when
the deluded creditors see him in possession OF a
splendid theatre, beautied by their labor, they will
be apt TO apply lynch law, if no other law can reach
the delinquents.
Our only millionaire--N- L., has gone crazy,
and his friends have Withdrawn him from the city.
He raves at bills, bonds, annuites, rents and death;
and il it be as hard for rich TO enter the king
dom OF heaven, as for camel to pass through the
eye OF needle, verify our little friend will have a
tight squeeze OF it.
James II. Caldwell, ex-manager OF the southern
theatres is here proposing to our urban fathers to
light the city with g Vs. The gas works are in ful!
blast, and while the shops blaze with the beautiful
light the city lamps emit faint lard oil fame scky
to behold and disagreeable to SMELL
