the cause of the increase. The reply
of our own paper-,he Journal--was
only frenzied TRADE on Col. Bill

This kind OF argument or answer
to those questions is far from being
sufficient to satisfy several of us in

Been Consummated.

Another big theatrical booking
agency, affecting companies travel
ing out of New YORK City and play.
ing in western cities, was consum.
mated in Pittsburg last week when
the OHIO Circuit Theatrical Com
pany was formed.
The new agency will control ope-

Illinois, and other states, besides
Kentucky, Virginia, and other
