melting snow from entering houses from beneath
doors and windows. 1t has been thoroughly tested
and Is warranted not to TAIL.
This Threshold is admirably adapted to that
much-desred style of windows called Easement or
French windows, for by this invention all the disa
greeable features Of that style window are obviat-

brought into general use.

Theatrical Rinxs.

Some ton or twelve years ago police ring
was formed with the intention Of blackmailing
every ons who had the misfortune to be
arrested, whether justly pr unjustly, and the
reporters Of several Of the city papers wers
drawn into Il As soon a. the fact came to
our knowiedgs We determined to break il
down, and By continually changing our re-
porter at tho police headquarters we suc-
ceeded in doing II
Precisely just such ring has been got up in
connection with our theatres, and the dramatic
writer who refuses to be blackmailed by it has
got to pay the penalty either in the rejection
Of his piece BY the manager or by having .
number Of newspapers leagued against him.
The combination Is effected in this way: A
certain dramatist, or, more, properly speaking,
an adapter Of pieces, discharges the functions
OF critic 10 some Eve or six evening and Sum-
day papers. The moment new piece is in
the market this person offers his services for q
consideration 70 the author, and If they
are refused he threatens him with his hostility.
So far as his influence goes this is un-
sparingiy exhibited; but as he cannot
control the HERALD the poison finds its
antidote. We should not, perhaps, notice
the thing If this person, in obtaining
the management of concerts and other enter
tainmcnts, did not assure the unfortunate artists
whom he deludes that he has means of getting
favorable notices in our columns. So far is
this from being the fact that the tickets which
he sends us ara invariably returned to him,
and we refuse to recognize him in any way.
We should, moreover, Immediately dismiss
from our employment any one who was known
to have any connection with him. In the same
ring with this individual are to be found the
critics Of some Of the daily papers-like him,
playwrights and leeches on the managers. The
effect of all this is, we need not say, to lower
the standard of criticism, as well as to degrade
the theatres themselves. We shall break down
this ring, just as we have broken down the
various other similar combinations that have
been set up for the purpose Of plunder. We
have no notion of allowing three or four needy
literary adventurers thus to assume the control
of cur city amnsements, to the great injury
Of the public and shame of the profession to
which they chance to belong. ts
