Ticket SPECTATORS.

One of the greatest sources of annoy
ance the New York theater-goer suffers
from Is the persistent ticket spectators
who infest the neighborhood of the en-
frances of most of the popular theaters
The prominent signs that appear IN front
of each of the playhouses announcing
that his wares will not be taken at the
door have no effect because the average
playhouse manager will not live up to
the threat to refuse the tickets and as
rule the tickets thus purchased are taken
without question. but one manager has
declared war on the spectators and from
his present line of action he means to
relieve his patrons from the annoyance
If possible.
Finding that big signs were of no eff
feet he has posted big negroes with mega
phones at the entrance Of his theatre
and the man who ha1ts to bargain with
the ticket Spectator is informed In stem
torian tones that the tickets he is about
to purchase are not to be received at the
door. and If the party persists in purchas-
ing after he has thus been warned, he is
followed into the theatre and the threat
not to admit on the tickets thus pur-
chased is made good. OF course the plan
has its faults, but as far as the specu-
lators are concerned the megaphones have
proven the most effective weapon that has
been tried. and the number and agrees
sIyeness Of the spectators has been ma
terially reduced at this theatre. The plan
has not been followed by others, but
there is no doubt that its results are be-
ing carefully watched, and If the relief is
permanent the megaphone and big negro
will become the adjunct of every theatre
that is really opposed to the existence of
the Spectator.

Navy Short of Officers.

Washington Correspondence New York
Tribune.
The navy department Is again seriously
hampered in its assignment of commits
stoned officers of the service to ships
about to go into commission. The list of
officers awaiting sea duty is limited. and
those who are deemed eligible to duty
at sea are found to be presenting resolu-
lions why they should not yet be as
signed. The authorities have been great
ly exasperated over the situation and it
is proposed to adopt some system by
which officers shall be ordered to sea
arbitrarily, although this course will be
taken only in the event that the demands
of the service increase to such an extent
that the considerations of the Individual
cannot be taken into account. The ships
which are nearing completion require a
large number of officers and every Off
Ger who can be withdrawn from duty on
shore has been recalled. Leaves granted
have been revoked shore duty has been
cut down, officers are doing double duty,
and many other expedients are resorted
to in order to provide the officers abso-
lutely necessary on board ship. The stu
alton is so serious that young officer,
who was informed today that he must
hold himself in readiness for assignment
to duty on board a new ship, was told
that his approaching wedding would not
be accepted as a reason for any extended
leave of absence. He would have ten days
for honeymoon, and then he must leave
his bride for his ship.

WHY THE KNockER KNOCKS.
Some Unreasonable Reasons for Ad-
verse Criticism of the Fair.

Many persons have been held back
and ver-to-be-repeated opportunities
for pleasure and profit for observation
and study and experience and aesthetic
culture, that the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position affords, by the unfavorable re-
ports OF. a certain fraction of those who
have visited it, which, though infinite
chologically, is sometimes megaphonic in
the noise that 1t makes.
There is a reason for everything, even
for that in which there is no reason.
Visitors who try to "do the fair" in two
or three days often wander about blind
ly until they are half dead with fatigue
and whatever power of appreciation they
may have started out with has been
hopelessly benumbed.
Then they rush off without having
seen one-thoussndth part of the wonders
there assembled, am only with confus-
ed impression of noise and Kaleidoscope
change of scene, and report that the
game is not worth the candle. Others,
who are in the. habit of eating in fifteen
cent places, stumble into restaurants hav-
ing the elegance, artistic cuisine and high
prices of Delmonicos or a Welcher s
and become SO enraged at the "exhorbi-
tant prices" that they refuse to see cny-
thing good in the whole affair. Others,
not content with having access, at a cost
of fifty cents, to scenes of splendor and
luxury and beauty and an infinite va
riety of wonders and novelties, such as
they might go around the world a dozen
times without seeing, are profoundly ag-
grieved because other de ATS of the in
tellect and taste and senses, prepared by
private concessionaires sometimes at in
credible cost, can only be enjoyed by pay
I'M an additional half-dollar or quarter
or dime.
There are some people who II you were
to give them the earth and all the full
ness thereof would cry up to heaven
because the whole solar system was not
