ticket We Will suffer terribly. We are here as

Mr.. Norman z. Mack Of tine Buffalo Times
summarized the Erie county contest briefly to
correspondent yesterday afternoon: 1.-THE
contest, he said, grows out OF al old pledge
made by Sheehan TO Scheh. They were both
candidates for state committeeman in the last
contest and Scheu Withdrew in favor OF Shee-
han ON Sheehau's assurance that he would sup
port him this year. SlIeehan has become a big
politician III the meantime and one of Hill =
men. Hill calls on him 20 deliver his state
committeeman, and, ignoring his promise to
Scheu, he promises to name one OF his tools
as his successor. The people of Erie want
Scheu for state committeeman, and even Shee-
hans friends III Buffalo have turned against
him because of his methods. What makes the
difficulty more serious is the fact that it
involves a race question. II Shoehan refuses

MEYERS DEFEAT.
The Manager of the Wigwam
W0rsted by an Actress.

Charles Meyer of the Wigwam Theater
has been taught lesson by an actress
named Louise, which will probably linger
long in his memory.
Louise Lester was engaged to appear at the
Wigwam for six weeks at $40 week. She per-
formed one week and received her salary.
She appeared on the first night of the fol-
lowing week, but on the second night was
too ill to perform. About o'clock in the
evening she informed Meyer of her condi-
ton. On the next day she visited the
theater, when Meyer paid her So 20 for her
performances on the first night Of the week
and obtained from her receipt for that
amount, the receipt stating that the sum
was paid on "the termination of the COIL
tract" and in full of all demands.
The actress, in signing the receipt, did not
observe the peculiar stipulation it con-
tanned, but signed it supposing that it was
the printed form which performers ordi-
narily sign on the receipt of their weekly
wages. Then Meyer notified her that she
was discharged.
One of the rules of the theater is that any
performer who is absent Mt any perform
ance shall be subject TO either fine or dis
charge, unless satisfactory excuse sick
ness or death) can be proven to the manage
ment." Judge HINT, to whom the dis
charged actress appealed, held that her
excuse was good, and that Meyer broke his
contract with her. He filed his opinion in
the case yesterday, declaring that she is en-
titled to receive her salary Of $40 a week
for the remaining five weeks of the con-
tract,
