THE REFREsHMENT BAR.
A. Singular Feature OF London Theatre
cal Management.

A. Singular Feature OF London Theatre
cal Management.
There Is one feature of London theatrical
management which always looks odd and
strange to an American, even when he has
been q resident for some time in London.
This is the refreshment bar, where people go
between the acts for drink or short smoke.
do not know of a single prominent theatre
In America, except the Casino, where the bar
is under its own roof or where it is directly
connected with the theatre management
Here it is always in the theatre, and is gem
orally upon one Of the upper floors, on a level
with the boxes and dress circle Seats The
bar itself, very much like ours in style and
shape, is always presided over by barmaids
They are Es respectable and well hammered
as the saleswomen Of the best shops. They
have alert business manners, and are not
given to saying much, unless golden youth
insists upon a bit OF what he calls "chahff'
as he orders
In the large room where drinks are served
there are always small round tables. Here
ladies from all parts Of the theatre, with
their escorts, come to drink glass of wine or
cup of coffee. To see bar presided over
by women, and to see among its patrons
ladies from all parts of the theatre, of I'M
doubted respectability and standing, creates
at first upon the American mind queer inn
preston It is similar TO the impression that
would be made upon the mind of q stranger
who, entering the Hoffman house bar for the
first time, should find IL In the hands Of bust
nesslike barmaids with ladies' and gentlemen
sitting at the little tables as customers The
presence Of women in these places appears to
have the effect Of eliminating the element Of
rowdyisri. You hear no loud conversation,
oaths or coarse expressions The talk and
manners are the Same as those you would
find in refreshment room at a private en-
tertainment
The amount Of eating and drinking done in
first class London theatre every evening
would astonish an American manager Peo-
pie come straight to the theatre from their
cakes, coffee and sweets. The privilege Of
furnishing refreshments TO theatre is paid
for in large sums by restaurant proprietors
The refreshment room is one of the large
sources Of revenue Of theatre management
Waiting maids during the evening go about
throughout the theatre knocking at the box
doors hawking refreshments. Between the
acts people eat and drink constantly to fill In
the time. Programmes are also charged for
In nearly ell the theatres, The average price
of programme is q sixpence. II AN Amer
lean audience In any theatre In the United
States should be called on to pay twelve cents
for their programmes there would be riot.
American managers say that it would be Inn
possible to introduce the feature Of asking
even one cent for programmes IT. O. Craw-

There are 123 Protestant churches and

fifteen ministers, belong to the Reformed

A New system Of Cash Collecting.


A new system of cash railway for stores is
a cable line operated by electric motor. The
grooves in which the boxes move are of nickel
plate. At each corner are wheels, around
which tho cables are arranged, a lower and
an upper one. The lines go all over store,
and could be carried into the attic or very
far away with the necessity of only one head
quarters. The boxes, little nickel plated
square ones, shut with spring and fitted
with clutches, are side tracked at the station
by grooves. The clerk puts the money and
check inside and slides it on to the main
grove, when quick as a flash it is taken by
the cable and hurried up inclines and around
corners with wonderful rapidity. In a sec.
ond or two it returns at the same fast rate.
Compared with the rolling ball system it Is
like the locomotive to stage coach, or what
electricity is to steam. Boston Transcript.

Tho restoration Of the Old Brick church at
Smithield, Va, supposed to DO the Oldest
church in Virginia, is nearly done. The
church was built in 1852, and used continu.
ously for two centuries. Among the matert

which were originally used in the Bay

after that edifice was taken down. Some OF
them have served in the walls OF farm

by certain Cheyenne parties to arrange a
mill between a pug of that city and any
145-pound man that the Denver Crib
club could spring out. The negotiations
have finally terminated in satisfactory ar
rangements and it is probable that the
mill will take place sometime during the
next three weeks. Billy Ross, the Cali

the Cheyenne slugger. The mill will
take place midway between Denver and

NEW 1OrR WOrlu-J
At the Star theatre last evening Stout
and Williams clever comedy-farce The
Hunlming Bird, was the attraction. The
play is, of course, founded on absurdities,
but its situation. dialogue and denoue-
ment are irresistibly funny and keep the
auditors in roars of laughter. The clever
parodies on various romantic and tragic
actors were intensely amusing.
The hold the Salisbury Troubadours
have on the public is not astonishing.
They are funny without being vulgar, and
never let an audience feel bored. Their
new play is destined to be one of the
most taking of their repertoire. If its
ability to create laughter is the standard
by which it should be Judged, it is GER
tainly a most pronounced success.

A HUGE CONCERN.
An Oil Company With $40 600, 900
Capital.
of Incorporation Filed Here
Yesterday.
II Will Cover the Territory With Pipe
Lines.

Article 8 of the certificate OF incorpora-
ton of the Consolidated Oil and Pipe
Line company of Wyoming Territory sets
forth that the capital stock of the concern
shall be $1,000 900. divided into 81, OOO.-
600 shares of the par value of $40 each.
The objects and purposes of the corpor-
alton are to purchase. hold and develop
oil claims and property, coal and other
lands and mineral claims, establish and
maintain a pipe line for the transporta-
ton of oil products. All business incl
dent to the purchase, sale and develop
ment of coal, oil and other lands will be
transacted by the association.
The affairs of the company will be con-
Quoted by a board of nine directors.
Those who will ~oficiate for the ensuing
year are Congressman Geo. W. E. Dorsey,
@. FL. Toncray, e. HI Barnard, James
W. Dawes, f. l. Foss, @. H. Willard,
VIM. j.. Crane, +. B. Harrison and w.
Fl. Munger, all well known capitalists, the
majority of whom are members of the
Nebraska Mortgage and Investment COM
pany, a Fremont syndicate.
The principal office of the company will
be located at Glenrock, with branches at
Fremont, Neb., and at such other places
as the directors may elect.
During the past twelve months more
than twenty oil companies have incor-
porated in the territory and fully half that
number are now operating in the petrol
cum fields of Fremont and Carbon coun-
ties. Some of the schemes may be of
the wildcat order, but the good faith of
many is shown by the promptness with
which they have invested. For the most
part the incorporators are known to be
men of means and they generally acquire
some property in the territory before filing
articles OF incorporation.
The capital stock of the twenty conpa-
MES aggregates about $50, 000, 900. Of
this amount probably one-third is paid in.
The spectators reside in all quarters of
the country. Many of them have visited
Wyoming, while others rely entirely upon
the opinions of paid experts. In several
comprehensive at least-the stockholders
are largely interested in great railway sys-
TENS. Nearly all of the associations have
offices at Glenrock, Albany county, this
city and some Eastern point.
1t is conceded and well known abroad
that the Wyoming oil fields are the most
extensive in the world, and that the
petroleum is of the finest quality. One
railway is already approaching the fields,
while other lines are pointed in hat direc-
ton. Taken altogether the oil outlook is
very promising.

THE TO C
The Large Shelter is soon to be Shipped
Out West.

A letter received in this city a few days
since from Geo. Thomson, manager for
the copper syndicate operating at Hart
vile, states in plain terms that the smelt-
ing capacity ofthe plant must be increased
at once. Continuing, he says that the
hundred ton smelter intended either for
that camp or this city must be in place
within thirty days.
Mr.. Thomson's letter was referred to
the board of trade and that body wired
President Warren at Chicago, requesting
him to proceed SO soon as possible to New
York and confer with Mr.. Thomson and
members of the syndicate.
Mr.. Warren will doubtless perform the
mission assigned to him at the earliest
possible moment, and it IS sincerely hoped
that he will be successful.
The hundred-ton smelter will be started
West at once. IF the Union Pacific can
be induced to build the Hartville p u the
plant will be placed in this city. Other
wise it will be carried to the copper
camp.
THE LEADER believes that Cheyenne
will capture that smelter.
