KOIl CONOItlWSMAX-AT-I.AHOE, OAI.USHA. A. GROW, Of Susquehanna. SAMUEL A. DAVENPORT, Of Eric. ME. FERGUSON'S TOOL. Annrtlclo appeared in thuso columns on Monday that lias apparently struck terror to the hearts of those interested. Hero It is r Tho theatre entertainment booked for this town one night this week will appear in Potts villo tho following evening. Tho highest price charged for u seat at tho latter place Is 73 cents, while 81.00 is tho rate here. Persons who have been In both theatres say the .lirfcrince, if nny. should be in favor of this town as tho local theatre is no comparison to that at l'ottsvllle in comfort to tho patrons, stago equipment nud Reneral nppolntmonts. The prices charged will keep many away, ns the public lsuick to resent anything that savors of extortion as this does. The entertainment in question was Hoyt's "Midnight Boll," with Dlgby ISell in the lead ing role and Duncan Braggadocio Harrison, doing tho contortion act. The latter gontlc-1 man (? ) to use Ills own language, fled save tho mark appears to be warm under tlio collar because the above article appealed. Tho article was published because we thought tlio pooplo of Shenandoah wcio being gouged, and the. slim attendance at the performance last evening is sulllcient proof that tho people thought to and resented tho extortion. Mr. Harrison reliovcd his troubled mind during the performance as follows : "Tlio poor house this ovoning is attributable to an articlo appearing in tho linn u,n charging us with extortion ; that wo uproar in l'ottsvllle for 73 cents and charge 1.00 here. Wo sold out to a local firo company, nnd they control the prices. Tho paper's animosity is trace Jihle to their light with tho local theatre management, who will not deal with them becauso they charge him extortionate prices for advertising, and they are continually lighting lilm." The fHcts in the case are in direct contrast to the statement of this former manager of a broken down pugilist. On two occasions wo submitted advettislng rates to Mr. Ferguson, upon his own solicitation. Tlio rate furn ished was the same ho had been imying tlio paper for several years, and hut a slight advance of what ho is now paying u weekly publication. Wo will wager $100.00 that the ubovo statement is correct. Will Duncan II iiggadocio Harrison raifo Ills Mull"? Mr. Hirrlsuii isthuiU-'pomid blull'who railroaded Sullivan through the country on bluffs, but lie ii apparently a failure as a manager of a legitimate thoatricnl company. Tho company i-, all right, and they might truly exclaim, deliver us from our friends ! That we liavo not missed tho advertising of this house will be readily believed when we stato that wo have sold the space it would occupy at bettor prices than it was uttered at, and that tl.u value uf tho paper is admitted ii evident from the numerous advertisements -of theatrical attractions which have ap peared lu it during tho season, all paid for by the companies themselves, and also by tho ire of Duncan Braggadocio Harrison aroused by a small item in one corner of it. Now, as to the statement that the local management will not usu the columns of the JIi:i:.u.l because wo chargo extortionate prices, and that wo aro continually lighting him. The manager of tho local theatre anil his man of nil wont, who is paid by the L. V. 1!. It. Co., seized theoppor'unity to use Harri son as a tool to strike tho Hkiialu. We have no light with Mr. Ferguson, as the columns of the paper will show, uelthcrdld wu charge him extortionate prices, and would not now refer to thu matter but that wo ate forced to in self-defense. Wo havo been importuned by inuny who are fond of theatricals to vrlticiso the man agement fur the manner of conducting the house, and as it is a placo of public amuse ment it is open to criticism. Even with tho temptation to retaliate wo have lel'ruincd, notwithstanding people have come to us with complaints that rats wore running around the floor between acts; that actors and audience were nearly frozen fur want jf the comfort people pay for; that tho house deserves the reputation it has among actors of being al ju t thu poorest excuse for n thuHtro to he found, needs no repetition from us, A glance at the windows patched up with tin beer signs, the variegated walls showing where,atoineiemote period.tho ruin has trickled down, the seats ton small, tho gallery minus many seats, needs no comment from us, yet despite the pressure brought to hear upon us wu liave refrained frum criti cism. The urtude referred to above doos not criticise tho play, and the "attack is not un warranted," as shown by Harrison's own words. If ho can sell out to a fire company, and the latter can afford to chargo hut 75 cents, why cannot he play for the sm price when be has greater gross receipts, Instead of the 1Ikuai.1i lighting the theatre maii.igeiuent, we liave evident to shew that the facts are just the Opposite. Tlry have stated that any theatrical com pany tint uses the columns of tho Htut.W.1) would have their dates cancelled; they have told in.ui igt ri that the paper is uot read and thi it uuguod. If that isn't misrepresenta tion uud taking undue advantage, we don't kn sv what is, audit isplalu to 6ee wo are not , a aggressors. We latve other and strougcr evidence of the manager's display ut animosity, that will le forthcoming if (iii.i-iMiideuiiind.it. The public has the farts, un I t In y can j who i 11k aggressor; uud If the manager wants any more we can also give him something additional, If necessary, but we are peaceably inclined ami are only on the defensive.
