THE DIME MUSEUM BUSINESS.
How Cheap Amusements Are InjurinS
the Legitimate Drama.

How Cheap Amusements Are InjurinS
the Legitimate Drama.
New York Times.l
1t is undoubtedly a fact that the opposi-
ton of cheap amusemepts is more directly
answerable than any other cause for the
pressure which now prevails upon the bust
ness of theatres. Dime museums and skat-
ing-rinks have multiplied through the coun-
try in about the same ratio that legitimate
dramatic profits have fallen off, Both of
these kinds of enterprise have been enor-
mously successful in a money making sense.
Three years ago there were only two or three
dime museums in existence. They were run
ming in such localities as the lower end of the
Bowery, and it was not believed that they
would spread to any considerable extent.
But at present there is hardly city of more
then $1,000 inhabitants anywhere in Amer
lea which does not support one or more dime
museums.
That these places are making a very great
deal of money is shown by several facts.
Nearly every man who has gone into this
THING ID little or no money when he began,
and IHairly ali Of them are by this time in
dependently rich Moreover, the dime
museums are enabled to pay very heavy
prices for their attractions. For instance,
Col. Filkins handles in this country what is
known as Krao, the Missing Link, and he
has found no difficulty in filling her time for
a full year in advance at the rate of 500
week. Chang, the Chinese giant, is always
a marketable commodity at the rate of $500
a week, while the educated walrus and half
a dozen other attractions of similar caliber
can always be employed at about the same
prices Now, 1000 people must visit dime
museum where KFao is being exhibited be-
fore the local manager can get back penny
of the money he has invested in the attrac-
ton.
The dime museums throughout the coun-
try are contemplating a still further ad-
vance upon the works of the legitimate
theatres. Most of these places are now hav-
ing stages built, upon which they propose to
give regular theatrical entertainments OF
cheap quality at an additional price Of only
10 cents over the first outlay or admission.
That is to say, people who buy tickets to the
dime museum will be charged 10 cents to en-
ter the doors and 10 cents more for seats
from which to view the stage performances.
Half a dozen cheap companies are already
organized to perform at various places
There are two opera companies an Uncle
Toms Cabin" combination, three or four
minstrel parties, and one tragic company,
headed by an actor who was formerly rather
extensively known in the legitimate theatres.
These organizations do not play shares
with the museums, but they receive instead
a certain amount down every week, so that
they are enabled to figure their expenses and
their profits without chance of loss.

BILL LONG.

BILL LONG.
Laurie HIATT in Texas Sifting.l
So here you lie Bill Long,
Dead, with a hooking sneer
Froze on your ashen lips;
Dead! with no friends near.
Were you ever / wonder,
An innocent little child,
Who lay dead here with hooking sneeT,
Alone on this Texan wild.
Ere the lead crushed through the bone,
And the mighty change had come,
Did there flash DER your brain your mothers
face
bid you picture your olden homea
You, who have shot so many
In drunken brawls, now still!
Shot down like dog, Bill Long! Bill Long!
o maker of your own i'll.
You have played your very last card,
And drawn your latest breath;
An ace you know is a very poor thing
To play in the game of death.
But there is time to dig
A shallow grave, and to place
Your carcass there, and to cut on board
Your name and the year of grace.
And out of this wood 1 carve
A cross for your poor grave there;
For you that for many long, long year,
Have never prayed prayer.
Sweep well on the grassy plain,
And I-who am to upbraii!
o lifeless sinner, a living sinner
Turns from thy grave afraid.
Let me kneeI by thy side, BIZ Long,
There is room for US both on the sod;
To this dead man here, and this living one
Be pitiful, God

RAILROAD MATTERS.

A special meeting of the directors of the
Forest Line railroad was neld at Concord,
\. IL, Monday. Counsel TOR the Boston
and Lowell appeared before them and
submitted a proposition That If that
railroad was given control of the fran
chise of the Forest Line for one year an
accurate survey OF the proposed route
would be made. Ihc directors adjourned
without taking action on the offer. 1t is
believed that this is one of the preliminary
steps in an anticipated contest between
the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific
for route to Boston Some years since
the Central Vermont controlled the fran
chise of the Forest River Line for a year
aud succeeded in securing very advan-
tageous terms with the Northern under
threat of constructing the road The
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific being
competing lines they will naturally de
sire To have the same terminus in Boston.
The through business of the former is
now carried via the Central Vermont,
northern division of the Boston and Low
ell Concord aud southern division of the
Boston and Lowell to Boston, while an ar
rangement has already been entered into
for the business OF the Canadian Pacific
via the White Mountain division of the
Boston and Lowell, Concord and southern
division of the Boston and Lowell TO Bos
ton. The charter of the Forest River will
expire prior to the Legislature of 1889
hence IA request will be made TO the next
general court to renew 1t.
