An ACroR's WINNING WAY.-Nearly
eight months ago theatrical company
appeared in this city and gave a per-
Torrance at the Opera House. In the
troupe was handsome looking fellow,
who, as soon as the evening work was
done, accompanied by a companion,
went to resort on a prominent street
in this city where open house is kept by
females until late hour in the night.
Here the actor met the proprletress OF
the establishment, who is a remarkably
striking looking and stylish woman.
They apparently grew mutually inter
ested in each other, and in few hours
he had induced her to put her fortune
of ready money, consisting OF $500,
in his hands to start theatrical compa-
ny on the road. In day or two she
accompanied him East and a well
known troupe with right good play,
was put on the road in excellent style.
Whether the management was deficient
or whether the enterprise was ill-starred
from the start, the writer does not
know. At all events, success did not
perch on the banners OF the company,
and after an extended tour through
many towns all over the country the
capital was finally all absorbed, and OF
course the company was dIs5anded;
Through al! the varying successes and
failures, the Wheeling woman accom-
panied her friend until the denoumsn',
when she returned home a couple OF
weeks ago. She is out of pocket near
ly niue thousand dollars altogether, and
it is doubtful if she has gained that
amount IN value in solid experience.
The affair was kept very secret, but a
theatrical gentleman. who lives III the
East and VINO is reliable and entirely
couversant with the facts, has detailed
them to the writer as related, and they
are published because they make
striking episode which seldom occurs
