gentleman Of my experience had q
curious experience Of manners and customs
of modern England few nights ago at the
Alhambra. He had taken four stalls. but at
the last moment found two of his party
unable to come. On his arrival at tie the
ater he left the two spare tickets at the
box ofice. the clerk promising to sell them
II he could, and send the cash to him
when they were sold. He took his place,
and soon afterward was gratifed to see
his two surplus seats occupied. The in
dividuals WHO took theM were attired IN
evening dress, and bore the outward sem .
blance of gentlemen. My friend began to
look out for the money which was 10 come
from the box Office. Presently a commits
sionafre entered, passed down the row o.
seats and addressed one of the two new
comers. My friend noticed that the COM
missionaire passed something to one Of
the gentlemen, who put it into mis- pocket
without word.
A sense of uneasiness stole over my friend
with regard to the Is shillings that was due
to him, and as the evening was getting
on he thought he would go and make an
inquiry at the box office. His suspicious
were verified. The clerk had sent il the
money by a commissionaire. The COM
missionaire was called from the door, and
on seeing my friend at once realized that
he had given the money to the wrong man.
He promptly went back to the theater my
friend following to see the fun. The COM
missionaire went straight to the party to
whom he had handed the money and said,
without any beating about the bush: Look
ere, you've got Is shilling that don't be-
ing to you The other replied in an un-
concerned way: "Oh, yes," took the money
out of his pocket, and returned it to the
commissionaire. "He showed no trace Of
embarrassment" says my friend. He
handed back the money as he had pocketed
it, without turning hair"
I always like to think the best of people,
and possibly this individual, being stran-
ger to music halls, was under the impress
sion that it is the practice of the pro-
prietors of such establishments to send a
commissionaire around from time to time
to distribute cash bonuses among the au-

Detroit Conference.

The second social and political con-
ference will be held in Detroit, Mich,
from June % to July 3. Great care is
being shown in selecting the speakers to
open the discussions. AS illustrating
this, take the three speakers to open the
first subject on the second evening. The
topic is What Can Be Secured by Local
Work" and there are three speakers OF
ten minutes each, after which the dis
floor.
The first speaker, Hon. F. F. Ingram,
president public lighting commission of
Detroit, will naturally tell of the ad-
mirable system of lighting In that beau
tiful city. Its clusters of arc lights are
on towers two and three hundred feet
high and most effective. DR.. J. HI.
Ohage, commissioner of health OF St.
Paul, is the second speaker and he will
tell of st. Paul's free public baths in the
Mississippi and it's fine park system.
The third speaker is Hon. Walter Fish
er, secretary of the Municipal Voters
League of Chicago. This league has
redeemed Chicago from probably the
most corrupt gang of aldermanic thieves
that has robbed any city. Four years
ago So out of 68 aldermen were in the
gang and it is said they gave away fran
chises worth over $5,000,O00 to Chicago
for nothing but few paltry bribes put
into their own pockets. The league has
nominated no candidates, supported no
party. It has given the record and
character of all candidates, opposed the
bad and supported the good. At first it
secured the third of the council neces-
sary to support the mayors veto, then a
small majority, and at the last election
over two-thirds of the aldermen elected
were indorsed by the league. 1t has
killed corruption and aroused Chicago's
civic conscience. 1t has been a great
work.
These are samples of the speakers.
While over half the time is given to free
speaking from the floor, the program
committee has been very successful in
getting men who are authorities, who
have actually done things, to lead in
the speaking. Darwin ]. Maserole,
Brooklyn, New York, is the secretary
