Midweek Notes of Business at
the Different Theaters.
Waiting for "The Crystal Slippsr"-"The Gre.

sons Great Circus.

There is slight luil In amusement
circles this week. With the exception OF
the Bush-street, where Miss Granger
changes her bill tonight, no novelty has
been offered, and the Baldwin is shut up.
Somehow there is always feeling of gone
ness among theater-goers when the iron
gates of this pretty little temple of amuse-
ment face the loungers paradfDg on Market
street, as they see the miniature winrows
of dust forming in the exposed yesti-
bule, and the fragments OF old
posters fluttering on the bil-boards. Expec-
tation is agog now for 1.-The Crystal Slip
per-" the great extravaganza that has made
such a reputation in Chicago The train OF
cars bearing the company and scenery IN
connection with it will arrive early On Friday
morning and give the players nearly four
DAYS time for rest and preparation before
the opening at the Grand Opera House on
next Monday evening. In the meantime
everything ABOUT the theater is being put in
perfect readiness for the reception OF the ex-
travaganza, for although all It's magnificent
appurtenances are being brought hither in
the same condition as when they Delighted
the eyes of the Chicagoans, there is sufnclent
preparatory business in and about the
stage and auditorium Of the theater to keep
several active men employed for week In
advance. "The Crystal Slipper" Is called

The wieland Brewery transfer Made and
the Clerk Dies.
The transfers of the brewery syndicate
have been wound up by the purchase of the
John Wieland Brewery, which was reserved
until the last. The accounts Of this brew
cry have been closed up and its property
transferred to the syndicate.
Two monthly installments of $50, 900 had
been paid. and last Monday the final settle
ment was effected The Wielands still re-
tain an interest of $500, 600 in stock or bonds,
and the balance paid in Monday was 81 500, =
coo, the total price paid for the brewery
being 50, 100000.
A coincidence which is considered very
singular occurred in connection with the
change Of ownership. Henry Bahlman,
boOk-keeper of the brewery for nearly thirty
years, wound up the business and last Sat
urday afternoon, when the work was fin
ished, he returned to his desk in the brew
cry Office and went through the ledger. Like
one weary. he closed the big book and then
his own life was as quietly closed by heart
disease. He was buried from his late resi-
dence, 2231 Howard street, Tuesday after
noon.
The syndicate had for one of its Directors
John Il. Wieland, who died last week. His
successor has not yet been appointed.
