TIE THEATRE.-Mr. Lawrence Barrett
will commence brief engagement at the
Theatre Monday night. a fair number OF
reserved seats have been sold. Complaint
is very generally made that the price asked
for reserved seats (f1.50 for dress.circlc and
orchestra) is too high. Perhaps it is, but
theatrical managers have great experience
in dealing with the public. They ought to
know better than outsiders the effect Of low
and high-rriced enterprises. However,
every man knows how to run newspaper
and theatre.

ratus was not available. The firemen,
however, succeeded in saving the adjoining
brick dwelling, occupied by Mrs. McMa-
han.
Mrs. McMahan estimates her loss at about
81. 600, upon which she has an insurance
Of 500 in the City Fire-InsErance Com
