they Will find that II has q most direct influence
upon the stagnaton of the industries of our CITY,
For instance, 1t can be safely calculated that the
manager received at least 3l5 900 for tickets during
the week OF this he took at least $1,000 out of the
city. Now, of every ten persons who attended the
OPERA probably nine of them were owing some
merchant, tradesnen, or boarding. house keeper In
this city the amount that he paid for his tickets il
not more. Follow this up, and you will find that
Mr.. StrakosGh put into his pocket and took out Of

To whom II was owing would have enabled many
OF them To pay other bills, and thus the influence
