Directory-Caution.

Frequent complaints are heard about
the disreputable methods of some So
called directory agents. Cases are cited
where orders have been tampered with
and amounts raised after the order
had been taken. Frequently cash in ad-
vance has been demanded. No reputable
firm will resort to such methods. 1t is
time to give warning to the public to see
that you are ordering from a responsible,
reliable house like that OF R. L. Polk &
Go. They published the only California
State directory ever issued in 1888, and
have now in preparation their next book
for 1890. They employ only carefully
trained agents, and, having abundant
means and ample experience, produce a
work that is credit to the State and one
OF great value to business men.

ACTION OF THE BANKERS ASSOCIATION on MR..
ST JOHNS PROPOSAL.
TO me TGftor or The Tribune.
Sir: You state that the Executive Council Of the
American Bankers Association 10 which the paper Of
Mr. St. John was referred, reported five to three
against the grounds that the retirement Of legal
tendsr notes was impracticabe."
Tho report adopted by the committee in part as
follows
notes the present condition Of the public mind to he
a practical impOssbily. We believe the proposed
Increased coinage u silver dollars Of the present stand
apl OF weight and nuencss would be fraught with
danger % our monetary system. We believe, should
this proposition prevail, that IL will impose greater
burdens upon the people, for the reason that no
means lie provided for the retirement Of the legal
tender notes as proposed, except through taxation
by the diversion Of funds which would otherwise be
applied reduce tho interest bearing debt and no
taxation FOR the purpose Of the retirement Of legal
tender notes will be favorably received by the people.
The council IS composed Of twcnty-onc members and
gentlemen who present, from twelve different
States. East and Wost, and letters received from
four other prominent officers Of banks residing In
Chicago Boston, Minneapolis and New Albany, Ind,
stating that II present their votes would be
cast against the adoption Of Nr. ST. Johns propo-
sitlon. BY reference 10 the report II will be seen
That ono Of tho principal reasons urged against tho
adoption OF tho proposition was that the council
believed hat the proposed increased coinage Of silver

MIR. LAcKAYS LEAVES DALTs THEATRE.
A DISAGREEMENT ABOUT HIS PART IN "As
YOU LIKE tn LEADS TO HIS WITHDRAWAL

YOU LIKE IT" LEADS TO HIS WITHDRAWAL
There wa. q change In the cast of I" The Great I'm
known" at Days Theatre last night. The part Of the
elegant and graceful Irish gentleman who bears the
title Of "The oDonnel Dom was played by Fred
erich Bond. Every one who saw the performance
enjoyed his acting Of the part, but those who wero
already familiar with the play wondered why It
not taken by Wilton Lackayc, who had been cast for
II since the beginning OF the run Of the piece. The
truth that Mr. Lackaye had ceased to be men,
Der OF Mr. Days company.
The facts OF the simply these Mr. Lack
ayes contract like all contracts that Mr.. DAILY makes
with actors, required lin to play any part In any play
TO which Mr. Daily might fit assign him, and in
case OF his refusal In any case tho penalty fixed
at forfeiture OF salary discharge from the
psny. AT Mr. Days option. Mr.. Lsokaye was salts
fed with the part Of The O'Donnel Don the first that
no had played under Mr. DAILY but the production
az the theatre is 10 be As You Like It." and In this
Mr.. LaoAaye was cast for Oliver This did not please
him. and on TUESDAY hewrote to Mr.. DAILY intmating
much. Mr. Days business manager, Mr. Dorney
called the actors attention TO the terms OF the
tract, saying that Mr.. Lacaye must play the part OF
Oliver sever his connection with the company. Mr.
Lacksye accepted the latter alternative and HIS part
In THE Great Unknown" was assigned to another.
The long and the short Of tho matter is that Mr..
Lackaye declined the part for which he was cast in
the next production, and according the rules OF Mr.
Days theatre there was but alternative play
retire MIR. Lsckays accepted the alternative and re
tired.
Mr.. Lackaye said last night that, although It was
not provided In his contract he had understood on
coming to Days Theatre that he tn play prom
nent parts and he felt that for him to accept minor
one, he regarded that of Oliver, would chdang ger
bis reputation and standing actor. after the
series Of that he had made IN various plays
In the course of the summer and autumn. He added
that he had no other engagement in prospect at
present, and he was glad that he had nono Tor II 1t
had not been he would have felt that his course
was not an honorable one. As II was, no felt more
free and had scruplcs in the matter feeling that
he was doing only what was due 10 himself and To
his reputation actor
Mr.. Dorney said that Mr. Lackqye had not been IN
the company long enough 70 understand its customs
and the managers methods. Mr. Lackaye a
good actor, and he was sorry that the trouble had
occurred. 1t could not be called quarrel between
the actor and the manager IN any II was only
the following out OF the rules OF the theatre.

A SUIT TO SECURE AN INTERPRETATION
BROUGHT BY vAssAR COLLEGE.
Pcughkeepsie, n. Y, Oct. 81 tspeciaD.-Another

John Guy Vassars Will that "a involved. but the will
OF Matthew Va sar, IT,, who died nine years age.
Section thirteen of his will gives $4,000 70 VaSsar

scholarship fund to defray the cost Of board and tn
ton in the regular collegiate classes OF students too
poor to meet such expense, Onehaf Of the number
10 have resided five years in Poug! Seecpse. In
noting the provisions IN detail for such an outlay Mr..
Nassar declared that II tho section referred To be
violated, the request shall be Withdrawn and $2j 900
Of It be given to Vassar Home for Agei Men and tho
other $4,000 the fourteen religious societies named
share and share alike. Plaintiff goes court and
asks for full construction OF the section, wants tho
court to define the meaning OF several words in il.
whether not the plaintiff has any discretionary
powers and, II so, what, and shows TO the court that
doubts and differences Of opinion have recently isen
so that plaintiff feels that in tho future the college
might be I'm danger OF losing the fund through not hav
ing time appeal to the court for Is directions
Plaintiff says IN the complaint that it makes no per
sonal de1naud against any defendant IN the action
but prays for Judgment in order that It max be so
instructed that It may never through hesitation or
mistake so act TO mper the holding Of the fund.
Among the provisions of the section that the court IS
asked to cOnstrue IS whether the Interest arising from
the fund named shall be applied so that each bene-
fciary shall receive the entire cost Of beard and tuition
or whether The plaintiff can, by allowing 10 greater
number Of students sum less In amount than Is
necessary 10 deay the entire OF board and tuition

Some 81 tic defendants say that The complaint Is
absurd AMI that the trustees Of the college arc scared
about nothing. All tie same, tho summons and com
plant have been served by Robert f. Taylor attorney
for the college, and, therefore the case IS properly
before the court and the defendants must come to
