ONE HUNDRED IN LINE

Last Night Waiting for the Sale of Patti Tickets To.day-Cold Picket Duty-Manager Bunnelps Generos- ity Lifts the Gloom ana Cheerfulness is DiHused in the Thr0ng. If there is not a large advance sale of tickets for the Patti concert on Friday night then appearances are very decep- tive. The sale of tickets goes on at the opening of the box office at the Hyperion ct g o'clock this morning. There are more than 8 hundred young men and youths in line, and many of them have been there for many hours without rest or sleep.
 At 6 o'clock on Saturday morning the advance guard of the ticket speoulators put in an appearance. He was Charles E. Card, e wideawake young man. He was number one. He has all this time held his place in line. A few moments after he had taken his position number two put in an appearance. This was Ernest Trecartin, also a we'll known man about town, who knows the value of dol lar and is never letting an opportunity to make one, or many, honestly, slip through his fingers. Additions were added during the day and Saturday night, and yesterday morning fifty young men stood braced up sgainst the Republican league building, and the dull gray of early dawn shone upon faces. But 1t was 8 cheerful crowd. They ! did not mind such little thing as the logs ! of few hours' sleep.
 When the church bells rang out yester. day morning, summoning the faithful | Christians to song, prayer and sermon. these church-goiDg people who answered the pesling of the bells and who passed the Hyperion theater on their way to church | saw seventy five faithful men. These sev e2ty five were too faithful in their desire to obtain Patti tickets at $4 per ticket to pay any attention to the ringing of the church bells They asked no ques tions of the officer on duty in front of th' theater, but that poor individual had { plying to the volleys of inquiries that vert hurled at him from the lips of sweet maid ems, handsome mstrons and staid and sob | CT business men.
 At 9 o'clock last night the number 1T line had increased to 101, with Charles E | Card and Ernest Trecartin in the advance And at that hour, too, it was cold and tb, wind as 1t whistled and eddi'd d about tn, area between the two buildings pierced through thick clothing and chilled thu walters clear to the marrow. But at tha time they were descended upon by Manage Bupnell and were given 8 thorough sur prise. With his accustomed generosit, and aided by S. W. Hart and their wive rhe awaiting one hundred and one wer, made happy and warm, at lsss for a time. MT. and Mrs. BunEel and MT. and Mfs. Hart had prepared txen ty gallons of coffee, and two baskets o nick and luscisus sandwiches and th
 manner in which the cold and huna1, drank coffee and munched sandwiche
 would have driven dyspeptic to suicid
 with envy. It was noble treat, greatl
 appreciated and hearty were the txpres slons of thankfulness that were bsstowe. upon the generous ladies and gen l=men.
 At daybreak this morning the line o waiting men and youths extended well ol toward High street.
