Bad For Young Doctors.

The latest wrinkle in the way of q theater coupon is duplicate ticket that will enable the visitor to any theater to be found and called away from the au- dience at any time during the perform
 nco without attracting any undue amount of notice or disturbing his neighbors to any material extent. A duplicate of the coupon that the theater goer holds is left with the ticket taler at the entrance. A messenger seeking the theater goer gets this duplicate and hands it to an usher, who quietly noti- fies the man that somebody wants to see him. A supply of these special coupon tickets is given to the ticket talzer be- fore each performance, and he gives them to those who ask for them free of charge. The plan is now on trial at the Casino, New York, and is likely to be adopted by all the theaters. The idea has been patented by theater goer who has made long study of men in the au- dienee, and who says he is going to make money out of it.--NewY ork Sun.
