LANGTRY SALE OF SEATS.


At precisely o'clock this afternoon, un-
der direction of Manager Stern, the sale OF
seats for the Langtry entertainment began
at the Harper House drug store. Prior to
the beginning of the sale Mr.. Stern an
nounced that the usual courtesy would be
extended to the press of this city, that of
permitting the newspaper representatives
present to select their seats first. He also
announced that the limit of sale to any one
person would be ten tickets. Thereupon
Mr. j. Silas Leas raised an objection, stat
ing that in town of this size the limit
should be six. Mr.. Stern graciously agreed
TO take the sense of the meeting in the
matter and the unanimous expression was
for six tickets. Numbers were then put in
to hat and within half hour over hun
dred seats were sold, but there still remain
a large number of equally as eligible sit
tings unsold There was considerable en-
over the sale and Mrs. Langtry is
reasonably sure of an OVERLOOKING house
