mitted to the attorneys that he had asked
Probate Commissioner A c. Hawkins for
$3.50 and Court Bailin John Sanders for $3.50
TO help defray the election expenses.
Sanders gave him $500. but Judge Rasch
returned this money TO him after the mat
ter became public.
Judge Rasch broke down several times
while telling his story to the attorneys. and
asked them for leniency. He said he had
made a mistake. but that he had no fnten-
ton of doing wrong. He spoke of the fact
that he had always lived an upright life
and asked not to be judged too harshly.
A committee Of ten attorneys was named
and 1t Is reported tonight that the commit
tee will unanimously ask that Judge Rasch

THE STAGE COST LESS THEN.
Expenditures for some Eighteenth Century
Performances In London.


In these days of extiavagant theatrical
expenditure it is interesting to study the
cost of performances given years ago.
An industrious deliver has found the record
of some eighteenth century performances
that are in marked contrast to the amounts
spent to-day.
A performance of Hamlet" given in
September, 1895, in London, cost $500, and
tho expenses of the night were SS5. The
orchestra cost $3.50. the advertisements
in a newspaper, s., and for the service of
the two soldiers who stood at either side
of the proscenium arch to keep order the
sum of s. so was paid. The candles that
illuminated the theatre cost SIS,
Sometimes in those economical DAYS
there were expenditures unknown now
When the Prince and Princess of Wales,
for instance. attended performance Of
Jane Shore, the manager was compelled
TO tin all the hunkeys that came in the
royal retinue and the cost of thai was $50
Although some elaborate pantomimes
were produced in those days, the scene
painters received small salaries. The best
known of these, an Italian imported to
London on account of his skill in con-
the scene painters. He was able to get
only s25 a week.
Some of the expenditures for costumes
seemed extravagant to that age although
the prices would be rather moderate now.
Much emphasis was laid on the cost of
gown and cape made for a popular actor of
the day for which Sl20 was paid, A crown
for king Lear, on the other hand, cost only
LIS, while for 1925 the costumes for all
the dancers in the opera of "Diocletian"
were obtained.
In those days 500 was looked upon rs an
uncommonly good house Salaries were
low, for the highest recorded Is $50 week
That was much above the average. which
was about s35 for the PRINCIPAL actors.

"Yes, that IS what they call us, said Helen.
