An Imposition.

Editor Sar:-Tle National Theater adver-
tlses for its matinees "no reserved seats-nrst
come first served" Last Saturday my wife and
lady friends went to the matinee and were re-
CURED TO pay fifty cents each for seats ia the
oreSs circle. Looking upon the bill they saw
Lolita matinee prices same as at night, so
this was all right But they found that the
first nve rows OF seats were guarded by uShers
who said they We're reserved" but that any
seat In either OF the rows could be had for s.25
cents extra" This /, with many others, con-
slider Swfndle. Let the theater advertise its
prices and stick to them; then nobody can CON-
plain. But to entice people inside the theater
by fraud and then eXtOrt money for a seat Is
an outrage upon the public. r.

THE strict tramp laws in Connecticut
drive every tramp out of that state, and tho
lax laws on the subject invite these nuisances
here. The consequence is that burglares
and thefts arc becoming SO common in some
OF the interior counties of the state that the
citizens are forced to form themselves into
vigilance committees to ferret out the per-
petrators and put stop to the evil. A
roguish tramp with fifteen or twenty buck
shot in him is one OF tho quietest fellows in
the world.

Thai soci., sensation at plano.

In the local columns of Sunday mornings
HERALD appeared an article in regard to
social sensation at Plano, in which the wife
Of Mr.. j. Duke, well'known citizen of that
place, who is buxom woman and man
named James Hicks, were the two Leading
characters. As stated in the article, they
came to this city, where they were followed
by tho irate husband and Deputy Sheriff
Farrell, who searched the city for them, and
it was reported at police headquarters with
out success, though it has been subsequently,
sscertained that the officer did find Mrs.
Duke but not Hicks. 1t now appears that
the runaway couple stopped at the "Sun"
boarding house, Lila Elm street, kept by
Colonel q. w. Patrick. Wednesday man
who gave his name ne Hicks called at the
house and asked it he could
get board for his wife, whom
he stated he expected on the southbound
train ovei the Central rosd, and being An.
swered in the sti native, lao went away, and
soon after returned With woman, register
ing Ms Mr. James Hicks and wife. They
we're sho Sn IT, t1elr room, and the next
morning both breaktasted together, this be-
ing the only meal Hicks ate ut the house
during the woman's stay there. After break
fast he left, and that night returned. Mrs.
Hicks. so called, remained in her room, haV-
ing her meals soGt to her, saying that she WAS
sick. He continued to visit her until S4tur-
day morning, since which time he has not
been seen. They had brought trunk with
them, and owing to this fact Colonel Patrick
had not asked them for their board
in advance. Saturday evening a
loud dressed and rather pOmpous
individual presented himself in the office
and enquired if Mr.. James Hicks was in,
| then asked for Mrs. Hicks, giving his name
as Jones, and sending up card to her. She
replied that she WAS too sick to see any one,
but Jones wrote a note to her and he was
invited up. About shutdown that evening u
man giving his name Ms Deputy Sheriff Far
rell put in an appearance and asked If Mrs.
Duke was stopping there. Colonel Patrick
had by this time begun to suspicion that
there was something wrong, and going up to
the womans room found the door locked,
and when 1t was opened, at his earnest soil
citation, he found Jones in the room. He
demanded of her if she was the wife of Hicks,
and che was greatly confused, and either could
not or would not reply Jones made his
way out, followed by Colonel Patrick, who
sent for an officer and although the bearer
asserts that he notified one of the guardians
of the peace, none came. Jones WAS rather
inclined to BIO insulting. On returningto the
room he found the woman had escaped by
the rear steps, leaving her trunk behind her,
which is now in his possession, Nothing has
been heard or seen of the parties since, and
it is probable that they have left the eity.
Colonel Patrick, who keeps respectable
house, was greatly put out on discovering
that he had been so badly imposed upon.
