Fluctuating Prices at the Theaters.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
Could you have influence enough with the
local theaters to persuade them to advise
the public when they intend to raise their
prices? At least, if not through the press
to mention the fact near the ticket window
so the public may know what it is in for.
1t Is very annoying when party of friends
propose to go to performance and one of
them volunteers to secure the seats for all
to be Unexpectedly required to pay much
more than the usual rate and have nothing
to show for it, as the demanded price is not
even printed on the ticket and only the
word of the sale clerk for it. For instance
at one of the local theaters one week re-
Gently, the first five rows of the dress circle
were taxed one dollar a seat; next week
at the same house, for the very same five
rows, the price required was one dollar and
half; and nothing was on the blue ticket
to prove it. 1t would seem only common
courtesy to let the public know openly be-
forehand what it is expected to pay; few
written words posted at the box office
would be sufficient, if 1t is inconyenient to
alter the press advertisements, to advise
the public when a raise in price is intended.

WHAT THE COWBOY REALLY
 DOES.

The actual work with the cattle per- formed by the cowboy might not re- quire over half his time. But slight as were his days of recreation, his pre- sence was ever required on the ranch. for there was the unseen to be guard ed against. Some of his work was done under circumstances requiring unlimited patience, and then again with rush where all the comforts of life were left behind, In the Cherokee Strip, now part. of Oklahoma, I have seen pairie fire break out from the reflection of the sun on a tin can, throwing its signal column of black smoke into the sky, instantly summon ing every man within fifty miles. Or 1t might occur at night, from different causes, with it's brilliant horizon, the flames leaping upward, visible at the distance of twenty miles, while every breeze was saturated with the smell of burning grass. Under such circum- stances, horseflesh was never spared in reaching the actual scene. The first men to arrive would begin back or counter firing, as 1t was called, much the same as city firemen blow up blocks in the pathway of confiagation taking every advantage of arroyo or dry wash, and with saddle blankets beating out their own fire on the lee ward before it could gain headway. If a wide enough belt could be burned, in advance of the main confiagration, it might check the fire, or, Jumping the emergency guard, break out anew on its course. Within two or three hours after paririe fire had thus started, there might arrive 50 to 100 men. Be- ing plainsmen as well as cowboys, they knew what to do. Frequently several light COW brutes were killed, beheaded, and split down the spine, leaving only the hide to hold the body together. The carcass of the animal was then turned flesh down, ropes were fastened from a fore and hind foot to pommels of sad dies, and riding astride the burning grass, the bodywas dragged over the fire virtually rubbing it out. Other men followed on horseback to beat out any remaining flames and relieve the mounts bypulling on the ropes. This could only be applied on the Hanks of the main confiagration. and on the lee ward of all counter fireing, as no one dared to dispute the sway of the fry monster, except we'll in its advance. Such a fire might last three hours or three days, at the termination of which the men would ride for the nearest camp for rest and refreshmeht.- Andy Adams in the Pilgrim.

sAFE THEATREs.

Recent fires in New York have occur red at times most fortunate for occu- pants of buildings. A public school was burned at Grove and Hudson streets after the youngsters had gone for the day. The flames in the Casino were ignited before the audience for the mat inee had assembled. Chief Croker talks sensibly about the dangers which would have beset the audience if the playhouse had been damned with peo-- pie for the afternoon or evening enter tainment. Some public officials say boldly that the risks encountered by the occupants of such a building as that old place of amusement would not have been great, but their assurances are far from convincing.
 The disaster which caused the loss of nearly three hundred lives when the Brookly Theatre was burned was one of the most hideous calamities in this part of the United States. Much pro- gress has been made since then, but Mir. Croker is still strong in the as- sertion that at least ten of the houses of entertainment of New York and Brooklyn are in no condition to insure the safety of their patrons. Public 'opin- ion calls for the taking of additional measures of guardianship.-New York Tribune.

| SIGNAL VICTORY.
Equitable Life Assurance Society Win,
 Test Case in wisconsin.


 Test Cnse in wisconsin. Especial Despatch to the Journal and
 Courier.)
 Madison, Wis, Feb. 21.-The test case by the Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety on behalf of the foreign insur- ance companies doing business in the state of Wisconsin, has resulted in a signal victory through the decision handed down by the supreme court of Wisconsin to-day reversing the decision of the Dane county circuit court in fa- vor of Commissioner Host. The ques- ton involved the construction of sec tion 1852 of the revised statutes, the commissioner maintaining that the word "nay" as used in the statute should be construed as mandatory and that the instance of deferred dividend policies was prohibited by the statute as thus construed. The supreme court holds that the statute is pernissive; that the Equitable has not violated the law in issuing deferred dividend pol icies, and that the latter form of policy, which constitutes seventy-five or eighty per cent. of all the insurance written, is valid and not in conflict with any pro- vision Of law. This marks the end of one of the most interesting and import ant cases in life insurance for many years. The case was presented on be- half of the society by J. G. Flanders, D. T. Watson and Bainbridge Colby of Alexander and Colby, counsel for the society in New York. The commission CT of insurance was represented by the attorney general of Wisconsin.

ADVANTAGE OF ENGLISH FOG

ADVANTAGE OF ENGLISH FoGS. should scientists succeed in finding ways and means for dispelling the fog gy condition of England's atmosphere, I am afraid that country will lose more than it gains" said Barrett Norman of Boston, Mass. "One of the reasons why English weavers produce fabrics of finer and softer finish than American
 weavers from the same quality of cot ton and other yarn is because of the damp conditions of the atmosphere in that country at all times.
 Tt is well-known fact that yarn kept continually and uniformly damp
 will spin finer and softer than that dry-
 ing out in the process of weaving, thousands of dollars have been spent by our weavers in appliances to keep their shops uniformly humid, but thus far without success. The fine quality of Panama hats, for instance, if the straw were not kept damp while the process of weaving is on, could not be produced. The straw is not worked under water
 as many suppose, but is kept uniformly damp worked in the early morning hours when a heavy dew is falling."- Milwaukee Sentinel.

MR. MBLLEN'S REASONS
FOR DECLINING FIREMEN,s
 PLAN FOR REPATRIATION.
Company Had No 0ption--Engineers Principal Party to the Controversy-- Rule in Use on the Pennsylvania RaiI- road system--Firemen's Committee Meets.

The executive board of nine mena- bers of the railroad firernen's grievance committee has received the answer of President Mellen to it's proposal of a plan of arbitrating the question now at issue between the fireEnen and the engineers of the Consolidated.
 In response to a ninduiry made of President Mellen as to the receipt of a plan of arbitration the following state Iient was issued:
 MT. Mellen received from the f1re- mems cunmitte on Sunday sugges- tion for arbitration, whereby the fire men should anpoint one arbitrator, the company another and the two to choose d third-Which he took up with the eil- gineers' committee for the purposeAof ascertaining whether the same would be acceptable. The result was that the suggestion was not acceptable to the engineers committee, as it left the en- gineers out of consideration, and they are a principal party to the controver- sy. #5 @-,
 Under the circumstances the com pany had no option by to advise the firenen's committee of it's declination, which was done this forenoon"
 The reply of Mr. Mellen was handed 10 Mr. Shea just before 1 o'c clock, and at once the executive committee went into session at Trades Council hall te consider it. MT. Shea in a ninterview said that the committee had under con- sideration the reply, and the next steps to be taken.
 Yesterday MT. Shea received tele- gram from & committee of the Brother hood of Bremen of the Pennsylvania railroad, telling of an agreement with that company similar to that demand ed by the firemen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad The telegram was as follows: "The follow ing agreement between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and the Penn- sylvania Railroad company has been adopted: Any enginenan, fireman or faostler, who considers that an injustice has been done him, and having appeal ed his case in writing to the superin- tendent, and after his appeal has been acted upon by the division superinten- dent, he may, if he so desires, be rep resented before the superintendent, gen eral superintendent and general man. ager by a committee representing the firemen, except thatin case of the en- ginemen (meaning engineers) such committee should consist of promoted men. This rule, which was adopted by the Pennsylvania, railroad and con- nlittee of the Brotherhood of, Locomo- tive Bremen is the sam eidentical rule for which we are contending in your city,"
