Theater Manager Crawford.

l.. NJ. Crawford, with whom the Co
lombo society had trouble last year, is
having trouble with theater managers
in Kansas.
The Wichita Beacon says: The
Hello, Bill company, which is billed
to play in the Toler Christmas after
noon and night, has arrived in Wichita
and will remain here during the entire
week This company, like Stuart Rob
son. has been given to understand that
its patronage is no longer desired by
the Crawford houses, because it saw fit
to book with the Toler auditorium
here. Like Robson, Messrs. Kellogg
and Goodhue, refused to be dictated to
by the controlling spirit of the Craw-
ford circuit, and they promptly told
that gentleman so in as many words.
Hello, Bill" was to have appeared
here on December 10. but was Cancelled
on account of change of route.
If Crawford would pay some of his
debts, the newspapers of the south,
west would undoubtedly feel friendly
toward him and his circuit. He proved
a great buffer, while he fingered in
this city few years ago, and The Citi.
zen has no kind words for him.

FIRE EXCITEMENT.
IA Blaze in a Closet at the Golden
Rule Dry Goods Company.
SERIOUS CONFEDERATION AvERTEn.

A small blaze in a closet, under the
main stairway of the Grant building, in
the Golden Rule Dry Goods company's
store. caused quite a commotion in
that well regulated establishment this
morning.
The fire originated in the cotton,
linen and other material used in win
dow dressing that had been slowed
away in the closet About fifteen min.
utes previous to the fire the gas in
spectors of the Albuquerque Gas
Electric Light & Power company, were
in the closet looking at the meter, but
not be positively determined.
A couple of lady customers, who
were near the closet door, asked Henry
Gerphide where the smoke was coming
from. Henry Immediately began in.
vestigating, and as he opened the
closet door cloud o, smoke beIched
forth. He grabbed blanket and rushed
in to smother the flames, but the
flames were beyond the blanket stage
and Mr.. Gerphide's eyebrows, mus
tache and hair were singed and his
face slightly burned. An alarm was
sent to the fire department, who were
soon on the spot with a stream playing
on the burning infiammable material
The chemical extinguishers were used
first, but without effect.
The fire itself did very little dam
age, but the smoke filled the spacious
rooms. and the goods, although not
in the least ruined, were scented with
smoke. The best line of shoes were
shelved outside the closet door, and
the smoke marred the boxes, but it is
not thought the shoes were injured
An overcoat belonging to one of the
clerks and few other articles were
DESTROYED by the confederation.

SAD CHRISTMAS SCENE.
"rapa Told Santa Claus to Stay Away"
Said a Little GIRL

A very pathetic incident, yet sad in
its details, was enacted on Railroad
avenue yesterday morning

was walking west on Railroad avenue
yesterday morning crying as if her
heart would break People on the
north side of the avenue noticed the
little waif peering into the store win
dows filled with Christmas goods, and
then big tears would come to her eyes,
she continuing her walk along the ave-
nue.. Just as she passed Mays shoe
store a good hearted gentleman known
to all the old timers, came down the
stairs of the adjoining building, and
seeing the little girl crying, approach.
ed her.
What are you crying for; you
should not cry such happy day as
this" remarked the gentleman
Wiping away her tears and trying to
suppress her sobs, the little girl re-
marked:
Papa wouldn't let Santa Claus come
to my house last night" and big tears
again came to the eyes of the little
waf.
Didn't you get any gifts this morn
ing?" asked the gentleman.
81 hung up my stocking" said the
little girl. but papa told Santa Claus
to stay away and there was nothing in
my stocking"
Tears came to the eyes of the kind
hearted gentleman, as they have come
under similar conditions to other old
timers in years past and he, on pulling
from his pocket a silver dollar, gave
the coin to the little girl, saying:
Take this, and go and buy yourself
some Christmas gifts"
Tears in the eyes of the little girl
suddenly ceased and with a happy
heart the little one trotted away full
of gladness.
The name of the man who made the
little heart happy is known to us all
and the father-yes he is known, but
the less said about him the better. He
had no money for presents. He had
indulged too freely the night before
