AT Tile PLAY.

Blanche Ring. in 1.-THE Wall Street
Girl" played two engagements at the
Grand Saturday, which proved to be
of considerable interest to theater pa
irons. In Topeka, when one says there
was a large audience, that is equiva-
lent to saying the show was a must
cal comedy. Miss Ring plays the role
of Jernina Greene, daughter of a Wall
street broker. She has been brought
up in a mannish fashion and takes lit
tie interest in anything outside Of
business and sports until she falls in
love with a Nevada gold mine owner,
buys a half interest in the mine and
finally saves her father from financial
failure. There is little of plot and
less of music in the piece, but the act
ing was cleverly done, and Miss Ring
plays the tom-boy discriminatory, and
stops short of roughness or coarse
ness. Her song hits included Il Should
Have Been Born a Boy I Want a
Regular Man and Indian Rag" Her
voice is not at all remarkable but
quite good enough for the order Of
music supplied for it, and she sings
with ego" that pleases the audience
into swallowing the music and calling
it good.

TIPPING TO STOP
President lof Commercial Travellers
League says Crusade Begins Today.

New York, Jan. 1.-The multiplying
crusade 4ece1ved sta1wart recruit to-
day when F. E. Dove, president of the
Commercial Travellers National league,
came out with the announcement that
his organization will combat the prac-
tice of giving gratuities to employees
of hotels, restaurants, barber shops and
Pullman cars. Mr. Dove puts it on the
broad ground that not only will the
tippers be able to obtain what they
pay for regularly, but the tipped will
be elevated from a mental place, de-
pendent on charity, to that of regular
wage earners.
From today the crusade against tip
ping will begin in earnest" says Mr..
Dove. The victims of this pernicious
system are to break the chains which

Tipping should CO. he declares. 1.-The
old time fashion of gifts from the RIGA
patron to the poor servant is out of
place in these modern days. Once it
was the distinction between the high
and mighty and lowly; now the tip is
either in the nature of a bride or an
enforced premium upon contract prices.
