New York. Feb. 4.-Squads of police
guarded the doors of six theatres to-
night which Mayor Mcclellan ordered

not complied with a previous order to
their managers to make them proof
against fire and panic, and all were
shut up tight except the Grand opera
house, Twenty-third street and Eighth
avenue. At the latter playhouse tick
cts were sold for tonight's perform
ance in spite of the preparations of
eleven policemen to enforce the
mayors order, and when shortly after
1880 o'clock, the doors were swung
open, large crowd entered to see
the play.
Manager Springer, Of the Grand op-
era house said he had received no Of
fcial notification to close and the po-
lice took no action. Mr.. Springer said
however. that the gallery was closed,
and that that was the only part Of the
house objected to by the city.
The other five houses closed tonight
were the Madison Square. Vaudeville,

DOLLARS
A SMOOTH STRANGER
Easily Got Away With
the Coin.

Attorney A. NJ. McCarty, referee in
bankruptcy, was neatly taken into
camp by seedy looking stranger
Thursday afternoon and fiimfammed
out of SO. The fellow went into the
attorneys Office and either sold Mr.
mccarthy something worth a dollar or
else begged a dollar from him. The
gentleman could not be found last eve
ming to ascertain the exact faces At
, any rate Mr.. McCarty was to give the
seedy stranger dollar. He did not
have anything less than a ten spot and
sent his girl stenographer out to get
the change. He then became busy at
his desk.
When the stranger heard the girl
coming back he stepped out into the
hall and told her that he was to get
nine dollars out of 1t, and the girl all
unsuspectingly gave him the amount.
He took a sneak out of the building
and the stenographer went In and pre-
sented Mr.. McCarty with the one dol
lar.
He asked few hurried questions,
said few things under his breath. and
then made dash for the hall, looking
for the man. but he had flown.
The police were Immediately called
and an effort made to locate the fell
low. He is described as man about
feet Z inches high, with light brown
mustache and two weeks growth oil
beard on his face. 1t Is thought that
he got the whiskers shaved off in order

The report was brought here by Rus

planned sally in an effort to sink the

destroyers repaired to the open sea only
to be picked up by the searchlights of
the japanese fleet.
The feet then opened fire on the Rus

Trade Report.


Bradstreets report on trade says:
Good progress by most crops
strengthens belief in favor of an ad-
vance of trade following the compare
tive quiet and inactivity. Among the
industries quietness and even dullness
is still the feature, but rather more is
doing in the leather trade. foreshadow-
ing later developments in the shoe
business, and the productions of iron
and steel is being steadily curtailed,
with a resulting frmer tone to pig
iron prices.
Several basic industries still show
little tendency to relieve. Notable
among these is soft coal mining, which
is very much depressed, and it is to
be noted that the demand for anthra-
cite coal is not so active as hereto
fore. Railways earnings finished the
fiscal year much better than earlier
expected, and it is probable this will
show the heaviest volume of gross and
net earnings reported. War weather
helped trade as a whole and has facll-
itated bargain sales, which has been

The Tomato.

The tomato has a curious history.
After the revolution of Santo Dom
lingo many French families came from
there to Philadelphia, where they in
troduced their favorite "pomme
d'amour." Although introduced from
South America as early as 1896 into
England, it was looked upon with sus-
picion and its specific name, lycopersi-
cum, derived from lykos (wolf) and
persikon Ia peach), referring to the
beautiful but deceptive appearance of
its fruit, intimates pretty closely the
kind of estimation In which 1t was
held. 1t is now, however, almost uni
