NEITHER Jrs7 xon HoxEsr-The Chicago
7iImts of Sunday CONTAINS an account Of c re.
cent difficulty between Mr. Mcyicker, manager
Of the Chicago Theatre, and the Misses Lons-
dale, which We are assured, does great Injustice
to the latter. The statensnt bears strong ex-
ternal evidence Of haying been furnished By Mr.
Mcyic:cr himself, aud We, therefore, take It g
his own version Of the affair. In that statement
there are few grains Of tlnth, but the greater
Fart nf the resi- fats in tho are suppressed.
A friend Of ours, whose word ro man will ques-
tim. r.yes us 1he fulIoxibg facts: The Misses
1.onsdsIes, wuo ere well known ns estimsb!e Ia
dies in every r, fation. were induced to conc
here under the representation that from Pecu-
liar relations Which they bore to popular
organization, ttey would meet with eminent
success. These Representations we're not tul-
filed. TheY came alore. wi,hout any protector.
and were therefore compelled to give personal
attention TO their own faeiue,s. Tley had
barely eutic;eut funds to bring tLcm here from
New York, md of course found it necessary to
have tt.cir pay n hrn due. They called several
tim for their uiouey, and wese unable TO r. tit.
Un Saturday evcuing. beng the last night Of
their engagement, as lltey ~ent to the Theatre
ihev again called at tie bsz Office and asked for
ticir ,iay, aoh informed tbe TIE eLsurer that uu-
less they u ere paid: they would uos apFear: The
X
md told them be would hand them the money
Us soon a. tue first act Of tie play was
over. Cpou this promise, -theF performed their
parts tu the end Of the play. The Treasurer
did not eire them their money at the end Of the
first act, nor at The end oftthe play, and they
in the ailerpiece- Hence The tzneat< which fol-
lowed.
Ihc insult offered to- the ladies' by Mr..
Ncyicker, before the curtain and through tue
papers, knowing that ther we're unprotected. We
think the public will pronounce cruel and
cowardly, not to be juniaed By any code Of
good breeding usually understood aud ackaowl-
edged By gentlemen. :
It may not be improper TO add that mutual
friends of the parties have called upon atr.
McEicler, and endearored to induce him TO paw
the Misses l.. the sum which he acknowledges
in his osn statement is thcE due and that he
has utterly refused to dD SO, notwithstanding
he well knows thut they are thousand miles
from home, without one cent Of money to pay
bills which thew haze incurred here or to pay
their return passagc. Mr. Mcyicker may b.
able to justify his wanton cruelty to these un-
protected ladies, but we have our doubts. Il.
