How a Quaker Audience Out West Hoodooed 11 Funny Feature. A few years nijo when Lew D01U Htadcr xxits nt the head of IiIb own minstrel ot conization, ho opened the season nt Dayton, O. where the com imny rclientst il. Tho show really open ed tit the little town of Richmond, Ind., made up principally of Quakers, sixty miles distant. They went there to "try it on the dos," as the savlmr Is. UocliHtader In nothing If not oilglnal. lie had studied out a specialty which he called ''Beau Brummel." He believed It would make it hit, at It j:ave the comedian the advantage of being exceedingly funny. As a gen eral thing Dockstader never makes ti mistake in his ideas of what fun roilly is in the mliiBttel llnr. The costume he designed for this monologue was ti novelty in its wny and not of the beat en line. It was quite n costly affair too. He had gone to great expense in getting out Hpeclal posters for this fea ture and he rnther prided himself on tho fnct that it would be 11 gloriour success. Ho In a man of strong Im pulses, however, and Is onslly cast down when things don't go just right. The premier presentation of the show at Richmond moved this beyond till reasonable dispute. Lew was, of com so, the bright, particular star, but ho had no conception of tho solemn character ot the audience cathered tin the exciting- In iiurstion. As stated, they xxeie of Quaker descent and not glxen to nny manifestations of approv al or disgust at stage entertainments. Theio wete a good itmnv things to worry the popular comedian on the oc casion and on that account ho was not In the best of humor. He didn't pay ptrticular nttentlon to the apparent silence of the people In front of th footlights. In fact ho didn't notice It at nil until he made his own appeal -nnce In his now character of "Beau Hmmmel." "When he thought he ought to get a hand or txo there xvas profound peace. He did his best to wake up Ms auditors but all to no purpose. They pru&i rvcrt their stolid equanimity to the last. He left the stare without a mutmur of applause following him. This xvas something ntw for him and lie couldn't under&tand it. He x-as tho x-orst hu mored man in the shoxv that night. A fexv friends xx-lio Vnexv n gool thln. xx hen they saxv it, nnd had rortii down finm Dayton to see the opening enter tainment, among them thice or four news-paper critics, couldn't understand why in the next night at Dayton, after tho shoxv, and especially Dockstnder's new feature, had been glx-en n line send off "Ecau JJrummel" xas not unions tho things glxvn The truth of the matter was that Doektjder toncelxed tho Idea that it was a frost and he could nex-er be in duced to icpeat it. He burred his cos tume and xxhenexer any allusion xxas made to the character ho xx-onld teply xxlth a groan 'the memory of that llrst night put a hoodoo In It " It is un necc&saiy to s iy that ho has never returned to Hip sombre toxvn of Rich mond, Ind , islnce. 1 NEW CITY GUIDE BOOK.

The eommonxvcalth icstcd with that and Attorney A. A. Veisbuig opened for the defense. He stated that his client is guiltless of the charges In ought against him. They xxero pre fened because he would not give Mrs. Frederick Johnson JfSO and ten pounds of meat a month. Hrin went on the stand and denied absolutely having committed the of fenses charged against him. He said he put up a swing near his house for the children of tho nelghboihood nnd frequently played and romped with them there. His conduct xxas always of the most Innocent nature. He then denied speclllclly each of the offenses Jennie Shinier charged him w Ith In her testimony.

Nearly till the estimates of ex penses for the xurlotts depart ments of the city gox-emment have been rccl-ed by City Con ti oiler Robinson. In tho main they correspond xxlth the appropriations of lost year, but In bex-eial Instances, In creased allowances ure asked for. This Is particularly the case In tho fire and police departments. In tho former, as previously stated In Tin Tilbune, txxo estimates aio mnde, ono looking to xx lint Is vlixually a paid de partment, the other continuing the present airangement with about a doz en additional permanent mxn. The police department will ask for fifteen nexv men for the fotce, another detectlxe, an extia sergeant and thir teen patrolmen. A SO.OOO appropriation xxlll bo asked for a nexv station house In Piovldcnce. and Chief of Police Gur lell says he will insist cm this being allowed. TO GUT AN EXTRA MAN. City Engineer Phillips will ask foi the snme alloxvanco as last year, but xxill suggest certain changes in tho mnkc-up of his staff which xvlll give him nn extra man. His plan contem plates the abandonment of the office of flist assistant city engineer, xxhlch has been made -ncant by tho perma nent disability of V. B. Sheixvood. The salaiy with a little augmentation from Incidental appropriations, xxlll permit of hiring txvo men for the chain or stake gang. Cltx- Clerk Lavelle, xxho a fexv years ago brought the dime museum mag nates doxvn upon him in droves by re fusing to entertain a proposition to In crease his salary, will startle the esti mates committee this year by asking to have $100 cut off the usual alloxv anco for running his department. He finds thnt he can get along with $100 for incidentals, for xvhicli J.'OO was ol loxved last yeai. The board of tax rexlslon und ap peals will ask for $500 cxtta for nexv maps. Street Commissioner O Bnylo will suggest an additional alloxx-anco of $3,000 for crushed stone. It being Ills intention to use stone Instead of dltt in making lepairs to roads In the sub urban wards. The board of health will ask for $3,2W lo pay for the crema toty lot, xxhlch at present Is costing a snug sum each year In interest. An inctease of JSOO In tho secrctarv'u sal ary will also bo asked for. WILL BK THU SAME. The major's, city treasurer's, build ing inspectoi s, assessors', controllers and city solicitor's departments xxill ask for tho hamo alloxvanco that x-as granted last year. Tho public library and park commission's demands arc yet to be announced. The revenue this year will be only about $6,000 more than last year. It is expected that it xxould be laiely in cieased but the action or the court in largely reducing so many of the big assessments has xolded the asseor's good Intentions. WITHDREW HER SUIT.
