The street-car strike in Chicago Is very
seriously affecting the theatrical business.
Mansfield is playing to materially reduced
receipts at the Grand Opera House, while
Julia Marlowe and Mrs. Langtry are draw
ing very poor houses. Even Checkers,
which has been a great success at Nc
Vicker's Theater, is not doing very well
just at present, and If the strike continues
much longer the managers will have cause
for alarm.

Conried May Produce sParsifaI."

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Judge Lacombe,
in the United States Circuit Court. to-day
declined to grant the injunction asked for
by Cosima Wagner and Siegfried Wagner,
heirs of the late Richard Wagner, restrain
ing Manager Heinrich Conried from pro-
ducing the dramatic festival play Par
sifal.' In addition to the many legal points
presented by Gilbert Ray Hawes represent
ing Mrs. Wagner and her son, in support
of his contention that Manager Conried's
production in New York would be illegal
the lawyer appealed to the court to pre-
serve the sacred atmosphere with which
the widow and son surrounded the compo-
sition and prevent its production on any
stage other than that at Bayreuth. The
composer himself, the lawyer argued, de-
clined all offers for a license to produce
''Parsifap' made by the many managers of
Europe. To even so great a patron as the
King of Bavaria had such right been
refused. The widow and son of the COM
poser, declared Mr.. Halves, had never
profited penny through the production Of
''Parsifal," Notwithstanding offers of many
thousands had been made for the produc-
ton rights, preferring TO preserve the at
mosphere thrown about the composition by
Wagner and the carrying out of his wishes
in regard to the great festival play to
money.
Former Judge A. D. Dittenhoefer, repre-
senting Mr.. Conried, declared that great
many of the sentimental claims made by
Mr.. Halves were not founded upon fact,
and established the fact by affidavits that
the great composer himself had parted
with at least the publication rights of the
play for consideration of 77.0OO German
marks to the firm of r. Shots Sons,
Mainze; that later 1900 marks had been
paid by the Wagner representatives to r.
Shots Sons for the concert rights, which
fact proved conclusively, Judge Often
hoefer argued, that the family of the COM
poser themselves considered the publishers
owned and controlled all the rights Of
"Parsifal."
The decision of Judge Lacombe insures
the production of "Parsifal' scheduled by
Manager Conried for Dec. "a at the Metro
politan Opera House.

Aunt Margaret is dismal person-oh. no.
she is very genial and agreeable and voted
thoroughly entertaining by all her friends
But poor dear Aunt Margaret is senti-
mental, very sentimental AS the parting
day draws near she gets dreadfully dole
full, and talks constantly about the posi-
bility of never seeing us again: hints at
what she calls the declining years of all
of US; holds my hands and Johns hands
and looks at us in fearful way that
makes us want to weep, too.
'Of course. life is uncertain, Aunt Mar
garet lives far away, and time brings sud-
den and cruel changes in all families; but
I've got wickedly and desperately bored

AUNT Margaret 1 said, in my most
affectionate and sympathetic tones. I'm

health. You don't really look very well;
your color is bad. and I've noticed your

but you talk so much about not seeing

TRAP SET FOR THE OFFICERS
Prepared TO Blow Up Men who Entered
by Front Door--oficcrs Meet No
~Injury.g

A villianous attempt was made BY
one, Decater LaDane. of neal Nipe,
town TO rid this city of it's constables.
The trap which was laid for them is
what is known as a CUR trap. An old
army musket was placed with the muz-
zle facing the door and a rope fastened
to the trigger and the knob OF the
door, so that anyone forcing the door
would receive the load.
The house in which LaDane was liv-
ing is owned bv Mrs. NJ. G. Mcdowell,
of neal Spring Mills. and had been
rented to him for a month, but instead
of moving when the month was out,
he retained the house for six months.
A writ of possession was issued by JUS
tice Roberts to secure possession of the
house for Mrs. Mcdowell and was ex-
ecuted by Constable L. t. Lemen, as
sisted by Constable Fulk.
LaDane was first notified on De-
cember Is to remove his goods and was
notified later if he did not remove them
bv the first OF the New Year, they
would be removed by the law. During
this time LaDane set the tran and
moved his family to Pennsylvania,
leaving his goods in the house.
Thursday, the first of the year, as
the goods has not vet been removed,
tho constables proceeded to the house
to take possession, not knowing of the
trap or that LaDane had re moved to
Pennsylvania. They tried the door
and found it locked. Thinking it
might have been baricaded, they Sc
cured entrance through a side window
and proceeded to the front door. when
they discovered the yillainous trap
which had been set for them.
By entering the house in the wav
they did saved them their lives or seri
GUS injury at least, for if they had
forced open the door thew would have
received the full charge of the gun.
There was four inches of shot in the
load. The gun is now in the possession
of Justice Snyder and will be used i'll
the evidence when LaDane is brought
to justice. Every effort to arrest him
will be made. The plan was one OF
the most cold blooded ever attempted
in this section.
