4 Grievance Th..t should BE RemcdfeT

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your columns seem always open for the
retlressine of grievances. and fly to them
with one, which, to be sure, is past, but
which should never be permitted again.
l was the fortunate holder of a season
ticket to good seat in the gallery for the
performances given this past week by the
METROPOLITAN Opera Company of New York
at Albaughs Opera House. and have no
serious complaint to make as to the ar
rangements for the evening performances,
though with the 18th street entrance avail
able 1 can see no valid reason for compel
ling ladies and gentlemen to use an en-
trance and stairway which bear such I'M
m;stakabIe external evidences of the man
ner of men, who usually fare that way.
On Saturday, however, l arrived just
before . D. m. at the head OF the
stairway and about three minutes before
the curtain went down on the prologue 1
reached nv seat, GREATNESS and almost eX-
hsusted from the struggle in the crowd
which was trying to gain entrance through
the ore door open at the time. In tnat
crowd ladies were overcome and earned
away, others, like myself, lost nearly d
half hour of the opera for which We had
paid, and yet others holding coupons for
seats went away, failing to make passage
(even after the outside crowd had been
thinned ouD through the mass of people
occupying standing room, and hSnunS
to hold advantageous positions.
With thorough knowledge of the audi
encc to be expected (as indicated by the
ticket sale) Manager Allen should at least
have placed doorkeepers at the other gal
!ery doors dhe expense is bagatelle), thus
enabling ticket holders to reach their seats
speedily and in comfort
Moreover, if managers will not recognize
the rights of seat holders In the matter
there should be some limit placed by law
upor the number of admissions to be sold.
The conditions OF Saturday afternoon were
an outrage on ladies and gentlemen, and
l shall be grateful If you Will allow me to
90 ON record in your columns as saying SO.

companies combined N ill invest about S4,- 800 OOO of their money in the south. and most of them have determined tu take this step within the last wear, simply hVralIsr they have thoroughly investigated tEc reason these mill companies in Dixie can io business and have found that they can make cotton duck. shCrtinE. etc. and sell
 at figures which arV profitable to them.
 Why can they do il? This can be an swer,d in few words. To begin with, the mills arc practically in the cotton fields to $4 per bale, estimating freight rates to he north less than northern companies must pay Experts estimate that the south has per cent in it's favor bCTausc the temperature k mOrr favorable tO spin ming than in the north Ground costs much less and building material iS much cheaper than in the north. Soft coal for fuel can he had for 50 To 75 cents per ton less than in other s,NCtionS, while little fuel Is used for hcatinS This applies to steam power mills, Water power is cheaper than In tho north. But perhaps the grCatCSt ad
 vantage lies in time and wages. Employ Hes of southern mills average 66 hours per week, or nearly 10 per cent longer than in the north. while their wages range from 20 to % per cent less. principally because they san live so much moro cheaply in tho south, often getting houses rent free from the companies for which Fall River spin
 nerS would have to pay SlO to $15 per month. For instance, the pay roll of fac tory near Charlotte, N. C., employing 90 hands, of whom 30 arc mon and boys and l the rest women and girls, is but SS50 per
 week, perhaps tho lowest of any mill in
 this country. With these advantages and
 remembering the fact that the modern ulills south of the Susquchanna river have
 the best New England and European ma.

 SO much interest and why these industries

A Royal Rehuke.

It appears that on tho death of Alexan- der III the Countess Stroganoff wished to drape her palace in crape etc, but the au- tocrat of the city, Lieutenant General Won Wahl, sent word that nobody was to drape his or her house in crape, or anything else, until he issued orders Notwithstanding this very clear order, the rcsolute, jealous and loyal countess ignored the wishes of the all powerful Won WaLl, and, in fact, calmly sent word to him that she intended doing exactly as she pleased in the matter of draping her palace And she did so. Enragrd at being set at defiance in this way. Non Wahl sent a posse of constablCs to the StrOganuff palace 10 tear down the emblcms of mourning. This was exactly what the lady wanted. She at once let the young czar know what was going on and painted the outrage in the most glow ing colOrs, and thc result was that young Nicholas promptly ordered the great gov ernor of St. Petersburg to remain at his residence for three days One must know St Petersburg wcll to understand how ! much Non Wahl is detestci there, and, moreover the childliks nature of the Rus sians, To form any conception of the in-
