Now Mr.. Householder, and more particu-
larry Mr.. HOuseTenter as soon as you have
read this, | advise and expect you to in
quire into these matters. | expect you TO
have your well water :nalyZed, to look and
see if the servant girl throws all the slops
into a vast cauldrOn dug in the back yard,
where it remains by TIE month to breed a
pestlence in the sumner; and to see that
the cisterR is cleaned oft and the rain water
pure and sweet-smelliIg. You will find it
will pay you in the end. You can pay
many a well or cistern tleaning bill out Of q
big doctors bill. An mnce of prevention
is worth pound of cur.
The Africo- Spanish Hungarian South
American tramp withth. cadenZs-like name
of HOsha de ArtObbi headed off a good
headline by which his suicide might have
been announced by failing to shuttle off the
mortal coil before he was cut down. IL he
had succeeded, every newspaper in the city
would have head-lined te affair The Last
Sigh of the Moor" II is probable that
Hosha is a Moor and no full-blOoded ne
gro. He is an inveterae thief Of the first

Last weeks cold snap gave skaters the
first good ice of the seaSn and they have
been availing themselves of their favorite
pastime during these BEAUTIFUL moonlight
nights. Several eXcellen sheets of ice are
reported in various parts IF the city.
why in the world d,n't our local man
ayers always engage attractions like this?"
remarked plaY-gOer while enjoying the
wonderful performance of Fantasma at
the Grand last week. An attraction of
this character would nevr fail to pack the
theaters at good prices
This is all true enough Springfield gives
the standard attraction. among the best
houses they get on the road. The great
difficulty about running them always, how
ever, is that their manages demand such
large percent of the receipts that there is
little or nothing left for tn local managers.
Their managers know hat the theat-
rical goods they offer se standard all
wool and a yard wide and they are
wonderfully stiff in their prices.
They know that the SOW will draw
big houses and they consequently are only
willing to share very small per cent with
the local manager. Now When an ordinary
show goes on the road, it like an indiffer-
ent piece of goods. Its managers will
sometimes take very SINAI prices for it.
The local manager is promised big per
cent and if there happen to be a good
house he makes handsOm stake. A GER
tain class of attractions nly demand 60
per cent of the receipts ad leave 40 per
cent for the local manager Some shows,
again, demand as high as \, IS and SO per
cent of all the money take in at the box
office. This leaves only sc 25 or 20 per
cent of the gross receipts tr the local man
ayers share. Now if the attractions only
draw a $500 house on so per cent terms,
the local managers share i. but $40. He
therefore loses money. tn managers usu-
ally count abou $50 per nigh as the expense
of opening the opera houst printing, or
chestra, stage hands, etc. If an indiffer-
ent 80 per cent show draws, $500 house,
Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1886-12-05

the local manager gets $50, which leaves
him handsome profit.
The Springfield amusement lovers have
| no right to find fault with the managers of
the Springfield theaters. These gentlemen.
although they occasionally make q mistake
in booking show, in general play the best
attractions which can be induced TO play one
night stands. Springfield theater
gOers have constant opportunity of seeing
the best and newest plays on the road, and
at prices equal to or lower than those of the
metropolitan theaters. No one need Ian
guish for amusement in Springfield. From
September until fall there is a constant
stream of dramas, operas, concerts, musical
recitals and lectures, some of high excel
! lence. All tastes are appealed to, in the
variety of attractions offered.
A certain class Of people in this city are
continually saying: why don't the man
ayers get this. or why don't they get that;
why don't they get Shakspearisn plays in
stead of negro minstrels; why don't they
get Wagner's operas" The reason is sim
pie. Simply because the public don't want
them, and wont pay for them. No mer-
chant would be such fool as to keep blue
dress goods if the public wanted and were
calling for red. NV dear public at large;
the theatrical managers are simply your
agents. They play attractions for which
you will fill the house, and which you cali
for. IL you want Chinese tragedies OF
Hungarian comedies or guitar concerts or
slugging matches, or anything else on the
face of the earth, and will fill the house to
see them, the managers will get them fast
enough. If YOU want opera three times
per week the season round. As they have it
-, ~ nil FOR
as they do there, the managers will get it
for you. No dry goods merchant would
be fool enough to keep nothing but
seal-skiu cloaks on hand to please
a few people who want a big stock to
choose from. The merchant tries to keep
variety Of goods on hand, so as to please
all tastes. Theatrical managers do the
same. Hereafter, when you feel disposed
to blame the managers for not getting at
fractions of certain class,
BLAME YOURSELF
for not patronizing such attractions when
they are here.
Miss Rosa McGOokin, Of this city, who is

CRur TAIene Mines.

W. W. S~paulding, Of Portland. gives the
Oregonian the following items from the
Ceus d'Alene mines: At Wardner. on the
South Fork. the Sullivan mine is working
three tunnels. Parties from Butte have
put up q concentration at a cost OF $780,
600. and are reducing about sixty tons per
day into less thar half that weight, which
ia then shipped to Butte at great expense.
Across the gulch the Bunker Hill claim is
opening out q vein Of good ore forty feet
in width, which runs from $3.50 to 81 200
per ton in silver and galena. A con-
contractor is soon to be erected on this
lead, and several hundred tons OF ore are
already on the dump. Mr.. Spaulding
visited Pine Greek, Evolution, Center
vile. Nine Mile and other points. and says
there Is good ore enough in these places
to keep smelling works running for all
time. Mining experts say that the C9ur
d'Alene mines arc better than Butte ever
was. and their extent and richness are
settled beyond question.

The sea SERPENT Ousdone.

A special from Cinnabar, NJ. T., ssys:
"Last Monday a stage driver and two
tourists, while near Yellowstone Lake,
claim to have seen an enormous reptile.
which, while running through the grass.
carried it's head ten or fifteen feet above
tn ground. They think IL must have
been at least thirty feet long. Aparty was
organized at once to pursue the reptile
yesterday. A number Of tourists. among
them Colonel Wear, Superintendent OF the
Park, and his assistant, Captain Barron.

geyser In the vicinity of the lake. heard q
kissing sound coming from the cave and
saw the head Of a reptile thrust ont some
fifteen feet, and immediately Withdrawn.
Parties are watching for another sight Of
the monster" 1t is to be hoped that those
persons at Yellowstone Lake who discov-
cred the monstrous serpent will not
trample upon the worm. They ought to
treasure him. The great mistake made by
the ancients like Hercules and Meleager
and Perseus was 10 killing the singular
animals they encountered. Let the mod
erns profit BY. experience. Travellers will
not believe the story in these days unless
they can see the snake.
