AN ATTEMPT TO SWINDLE.
A Bogus ssTriIby'' Company Seeks to
Get $3.50
FOR a SECOND RATE PERFORMANCE.

This TriIby Company Not Mentioned
by the Dramatic Mirror Among A.
NJ. PaImer's Companies at AEl-It
Plays for 81 Everywhere Else.
Topeka play goers will be asked to
pay $3.50 seat to see doubtful"Trilby"
company at the Grand Saturday night.
They should rebel. First, because the
Grand is not a $1.50 house except for
stars and the piece is not worth it, and
secondly, because it is playing in other
towns around through the state for 81.
This "TriIby" was in Fort Scott on
Dec. IL, and played to regular prices, 81.
This is the notice given the company in
the Fort Scott letter to the Dramatic
Mirror: HW. A. Brady's company in
'Trilby' had a good house. Opinions are
divided as to the merits of the play"
The company was in Sedalia, Mo-, II,
Springfield IA, Joplin IS, and in none of
these places was the $3.50 scale charged.
The piece has been advertised and seats
sold for the production in Atchison to-
night at 81, though it is said the advance
agent has ordered the price to be raised,
but, of course, it will not be.
Iu the face of all these things the ad-
vance man. Fred Hodgson, has the mon
umental nerve to claim that this com
scale, and cites last weeks run at the
Coates in Kansas City in verifcation. It
is we'll known that the Coates is $1.50
house, but this is charged for only the
orchestra chairs, or about $50 of the front
seats on the floor Two-thirds OF the
seats on the same floor can be mad for 81.
This "Trilby" company is w. A. Brady's
southern company, and not listed in the
Dramatic Mirror as an A NJ. Palmer
company. 1t is not routed in the dramat-
ic papers. A. NJ. Palmer's No 1 com
pany begins four weeks run at Phila-
delphia tonight, while Brady's northern
company, the recognized one, opens to-
night in indianapolis for the week.
The New York Herald of last Thurs
day thus speaks of the original "Trilby"
company:
"Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman have
purchased the lease of the Park theater,
one of the most popular of Philadelphia
playhouses. This places them in con-
troll of the four leading theaters in Phil
adelphia. They will open the Park on
Monday night with the original 'Trilby'
company, from the Garden theater, New
York"
This shows that whatever "TriIby :"
company this is it isn't worth $3.50 a seat.
This is an outrage that should be put
down. The only way it can be done is
by frowniug on the practice and staying
away. Dollars and cents appeal to some
people more than anything else BY cut
ting down the receipts once or twice the
price will be cut down, or left at its reg
ular place, rather. AS long as Topeka
people will humor the opera house man
| agement in charging $3.50 for second
class companies without star, it will be
done. Only stars of recognized power
and ability should get $3.50.
Besides if seats are to be sold for 81 so
it should be done as it is at the Coates
house in Kansas City-only for the first
eight rows-behind those it is one dollar,
| even at the Coates.

Cases Is Ended at Last.

district court Saturday morning, rec

dismissed. Mr.. N. t. Campbell dismissed

agreed to the dismissal.
His attorney, S. B. Isenhart had gone
from the room without settling the case

the Topeka club would dismiss the ac-

THE INTERNATIONAL CHESS CHALLENGE CUP.
ceding to the bowl, which is z inches
across. The handles project beyond the
cup, giving it an extreme width of IL
inches. The cup has three panels, formed
by its three handles, one of which is left
blank for the inscriptions, which the con-
tests will determine. Another panel rep
resents game of chess between two Ro-
man soldiers, seated about a board, while
a third soldier, standing in tho back
ground, watches intently it's progress
The third panel is a spirited representa-
ton of an eagle.
The cup is intended to be perpetual
challenge trophy, to be contested for by
the nations of the world. Any competing
country must challenge through one of the
clubs of established reputation, into whose
custody it will pass, if victorious. The
custodians must defend it at least once ev-
cry year if challenged. In short, it is in
tended that this trophy shall be to inter
national chess what the Americas cup is
to international yachting.
The situation with regard to the trophy
is as follows: A challenge between Eng
land and America has been sent and ac-
cepted, and in February will be fought out
by cable, but one disputed point has not
been settled The Brooklyn Chess club
stands stoutly upon it's right to call upon
Americas adopted sons to lend their aid.
And the British Chess club holds to an
exclusion Of them from participation in
the match. For a team of eight players
Oh a side the Americans could muster five
native players-for example, Pillsbury,
Showalter, Hodges, Barry and Hymes-
and three adopted sons-viz, Lipschutz,
Kemeny and Steinitz.
England could also secure five native
players of the standing of Bird, Black
burne, Burn, Mason and Tinsley, and
three resident players-Lasker, Gunsberg
and Teichinann. 1t will therefore be seen
that the Brooklyn Chess club does not
seek to gain any advantage by its position
in this matter, but only to secure for the
match such conditions as will make 1t be-
yond question a struggle for chess su-
premacy between England and America.
