The winter campaign, which has now
entirely closed, has been a desperate fight
for the seven contending playhouses.
This is too many theaters for the extent
of the population, and managers have felt
the brunt only the best shows have
made money The Bijou, Grand and
Academy have been rivals for one class
of theatergoers The Bijous best weeks
were with "Hogan's Alley" the Grand
had its large profits with "A Boy Wanted
and Black Patti on her first visit. At
tine Academy the biggest winner was also
a darkey show, Oriental America
though both visits OF when LONDON
Sleeps" We're greeted by overflowing
houses.
Next sea son the Grand will play for a
higher class OF attractions, depending
upon non-syndicate managers Ia supply
some good shows AT the same time it Will
ne member OF small syndicate of seven
theaters. known as The Hiou Circuit or
Popular-Priced Theaters.' This includes
the Grand. in this city; the Holiday Street
Theater, OF Baltimore; the Eijou, in Pitts
burg; the New Bijou, n Brooklyn; the Star,
in New York; the Columbia, in Boston, and
the National, in Philadelphia.
Mr.. George W. Rife, in speaking OF the
arrangements yesterday, said: The con-
trm of the seven theaters included in the
circuit extends only to the bookings, 1t is
a combination for mutual advantage and
protection in securing attractions. MI.
II c. Kennedy, OF Brooklyn, is the general
manager, and through him the local man
ayers have attractions submitted to them
for anDroyal. and no booking is concluded
unless supervised by the local manager
For this reason we could not be forced to
play an attraction either in Baltimore or
in Washington that we did not want,
but the syndicate, being in position to
offer time n seven leading houses, gives
US a great advantage over the old plan Of
operating. In all other respects than the
matter OF bookings, the houses we control
in Baltimore and Washington will be con-
Quoted in the same manner as formerly. '

A correspondent, one IS. II. p in one
OF the London dramatic journals recently,
took Wilson Barrett to task for presuming
to revise ''Virginius," =" in which play that
actor was TO appear. IF Virginius' in its
original form was good enough for Mac

be good enough for Wilson Barrett" Where
at Air. Barrett, replying, proved that "Vir-
ginius'' was not good enough in its original
form for Macready, and pertinently added
''TaIlow candles for footlights We're good
enough for Burbage and GaTrick. Mrs.
Yates played Virginia in a hooped skirt
t9enty-four feet in circumference with an
overdress looped up with bows, tassels and
cords thick as a ships hawser. On her head

The registration books for the elec-s
ton for the purpose of issuing
bonds for the erection of the
new courthouse, were closed last
night. Two-thirds of the votes rep.
resented on the registration books
must be cast IN favor of the bonds, or
they cannot legally be issued
Since the plans of the proposed
building and the perspective of the
pretty structure have been placed on
exhibition and the estimates of the
cost have become generally under
stood, opposition to the new court
house plans has practically disap-
peared. The people realize that the
improvement is badly needed, and the
defeat of the bond issue is hardly
probable.
There is considerable opposition,

M'KINLEY AND THE REPORTERS.

President Mckinley has made him
self solid with the brethren of the
press. The pencil-pushers are hence
forth with him and for him. The
hearty and ttfectual heart-punch
which the chief executive gave the
little "hupstart" English turnkey who
presides at Bltmure has caused the
name of Nick nley to be written in
box car letters on the note book pages
and cOpy-sheets of the loyal news
paper man. And not without good
reason
This fellow Harding, who looks after
Vanderbilts palatial estate, thought it
"a beastly shame, dun'tcherknOw, for
commonplace, salary earning, hard
working reporters and correspondents
to put their footprints on the marble
terraces and desecrate the lordly fanes
by looking on them with pIet elan eyes.
LIE would have none Of it cir. Van
derbllt and | spit on newspaper men )"
was the message he sent to Ed. Nc
kissick and the other gentlemen who
were seeking to give the president a
good time.
But Mr.. Mckinley reduced the AFRO
giant turnkey to state of worse than
IDsigniiicance by firmly informing
him that if the newspaper men were
excluded he would not set foot within
the estate. The newspaper men were
admitted.
AS for Harding, decent newspa-
per man wouldn't allow one of his
kind to hold cuspidor for the recep-
ton of his nicotinal eXpectoration or
to pose as a target therefor. To be
caught in the company of such fell
low would be regarded by cOnscIen-
tious reporter As greater calamity
