Ticket Scalpers.

There is law pending before the Legislature
of Maryland to prevent "Tcket ScalL ing" and
to conne the traffic in tickets to the authorized
agents OF the railroad companies; the bill under
consideration is similar to that which has been
SO effective in this State both in protecting pas
sengers and the railroad companies from the loss
arising from the purchase and sale Of fraudulent
tickets or of tlck cts Improperly procured. There
were recently convicted in our courts number
of trusted employees Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and Pullman Car Companies against whom
the charge of embezzlement was sustained.
These were all respectable and honest
until they were tempted to acknowledgement
to the loss of reputation and position and, in fact
into prison, by the ticket scalpe's Every ticket
fraudulently distracted or withheld by them, 1t
was proved on their trials was subsequently sold
to the scalpers at largely reduced rates and re-
8 Id to travellers to be used second time. Thus
the railroad companies suffered severe losses and
in cases where the frauds were discovered in time
the passengers holding the scalpers tickets were
subject to loss and inconvenience.
No raj road company is secure from loss, no rail.
road conductor safe from temptation, and no Ias-
senger free from danger of buying fraudulent and
use tickets, SO long as ticket scalping is legal
lied. The railroads that are carrying passengers
upon terms so favorable should be protected from
fraud, their employees from the temptation that
robs them of home, friends, and employment, and
passengers from Inconvenience or fraud. The
| law OF Pennsylvania Is exceedingly popular and
a similar one should be amonI the statutes of
every State. Only through and by the operations
Of like law can absolute security be afforded
u the railroad companies their employers, and
the travelling public; but until such IL law be-
comes common in all States, travellers should
refuse to purchase from sealpers, lest they become
Involuntary partners in fra udulent traffic, and
suffer the consequences of their own act.

A Pleasant Entertainment.

On Friday evening last, Miss Lizzie E.
Phillips of Wilmington, the young elocu-
tignst, gave an interesting entertain
ment in the College Oratory. Tho room
was comfortably filled, and by the re-
peated and continued applause-with an
highly appreciative audience. The enter
tainmenl opened by the Citizens Cornet
Band playing in very praiseworthy
manner. The recitation-"Our Folks, F"
by Miss Lizzie was executed in very
creditable manner. Mrs. Theo. w.
Phillips, the mother Of Miss Lizzie,
assisted and in reading "The liners"
elected considerable laughter from the
audience. In the rendition Of "Curfew
Shall not Ring Tonight and Searching
for the Slain Miss Phillips deserved all
the applause she received, which was
frequent and loud. ASLEEP at the switch
and "Our Railroads." was exceedingly
well rendered. Miss Phillips is quite
Young, and we were much surprised to
note with what ease and grace she made
her gestures. The audience went home
well pleased with what they had heard
and seen. We hope Miss Phillips will
favor us again before many moons waS
and wane, and we feel assured that sh
will be greeted with full house.
