When Miss Blanche CurtisSe was per-
forming in "Only a Farmers Daugh-
ter" two complimentary tickets were
presented at the door by two boys, of a
different pattern to those used in this
city by the company. Manager Rische
asked them where they got them, and
he was told they were given to them by
another boy. This lame explanation
did not satisfy MIR. RisChe. and he re-
fused them admission. He then in
formed a'LIGHT reporter that there had
evidently been some crooked business
in the matter, and supported his asser-
ton by stating that Mr.. Wheeler, the
advance agent of the company had been
expecting bundle of tickets from the
company's printer, but they did not ar
rive on time, and he left without get
ting them. On the arrival of the COM
pany a bundle Of tickets was brought
to him from the post office, which were
those expected by Mr.Wheeler. None of
these tickets were placed in circulation
by Mr.. RIsche or any member OF the
company as they did not possess any,
vet by some unknown means it was
found that Mr.. Ludwig Mahncke had
two given TO him by a young man whose
name it is not advisable at this stage TO
publish, and three other tickets were
presented at Turner Hall on the second
night Of the performance. How did
these tickets come in circulation
Some one in the Postoffice must know
how this distribution took place and
that person must also be aware Of the
severe penalty attached to such pro-
ceeding.
