Our New York Letter.
v . Non-residents cannot realize what
-. a great theatrical city this is. The
.. facts taken from the Herald below
are so interesting your correspondent
gives them, believing they will
prove as interesting and instructive
as anything he could send.
New York is the greatest theatre
city in the world. Its growth theatrically
has been phenominal since 1826
t when the Bowery theatre was built
to which went the large audiences of
those days to hear Forrest, the elder
Booth, Charlotte Cushman and others
onlv a little less in ability. Since
then the theatre centre, by easy
stages, has gone up Bi oadway to
about Forty-second street, with its
arms reaching out into the other
boroughs until now the city has ninety-six
places of amusement filled with
pleasure seekers during the season.
While New York with its four and
one-half millions of population has
ninety-six places of amousement,
London, with six and one-half millions
in its metropolitan district, has
seventy-eight, and they each average
a smaller attendance than do these
in New York, and during the season
there is a larger proportion of New
Yorkers in their audiences. Theatre
"Mow Ynrlr has more
lUi uicaub, iivn ? v.
money invested in buildings and fittings
than has London.
At the height of New York's amusement
season there are as many as
114,000, persons in its places of public
amusement in one night. They
are now rapidly approaching that
condition since the home-coming season
has set in, and the number of
strangers is increasing with the advancing
autumn. The attendance is
now growing from night to night,
and is particularly noticeable in the
houses where are the more successful
plays.
New York city has daily within its
borders more pleasure seeking strangers
than has London, and after No
vember 1 there will be a dally aver
age of 16,000 out-of-town patrons in
our theatres. It is the exception
when a visitor in New York does not
go to the theatre, even if he stay but
one day, and many visitors for a
week or more will go to some place
of amusement each day of their stay.
Then New Yorkers are naturally
theatre attendants, and many of them
take all their relaxation in this manner.
This is true of the man with a
small salary as well as of the man of
wealth, and real sacrifices are often
made to save money for theatre tickets.
There are thousands of "firstnighters"
in the city who welcome
the initial performance of every play
and their faces are familiar to the
ticket seller. Then there are many
more thousands who are as regular
. as a clock in their attendance. A
few may go but once a season, many
more go once a month, but there are
more who go once a week, without
a skip, from the beginning of the
season until its close. Then there are
TirKr. rrn owrv nitrht. and now
OVlitt ITIIJW vi 0 , ?
and then include a matinee.
Ticket sellers become quite well acquainted
with m^ny of their patrons,
know when to expect them and can
rely on their attendance once in so
often and even know where their
favorite seats are. There is a recognized
personality in our amusement
audiences; theatre families that seem
to belong to certain playhouses.
Theatres have their individuality as
well as their auditors have theirs, and
there is. a harmony that draws them
together. H. W. Finlayson.

FAILED TO GET AWAY.
Dan Murphy flakes Desperate Effort
to Escape From Penitentiary.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 17.?D. C.
Murphy, serving a life term at the
penitentiary for the murder of
Treasurer Copes, of Orangeburg
county, at daybreak today made a
desperate dash for liberty, right
under the rifles of the guards. It
was doubtless his plan to reach the
wall, scale it by leaning a pole
against it, swim the canal beyond
and hide in the river swamps ^f Lexington
county until nightfall.
Murphy and a western man, W. H.
Collins, who had been sent up for life
from Fldrence, on the charge of compound
burglary and larceny, made
on September 20, 1900, the most sensational
escape in the history of the
penitentiary. They filed their way
out of their cells and scaled the
prison wall by means of a rope, to
which was attached a hook they had
made out of iron pipe. Gaining the
parapet they drew up their rope and
used it to descend on the outside.
They then swam both the canal
and the river opposite the prison and
disappeared leaving a message,
' 'Goodbye, we have gone to South
America.'' Five years later Murphy
was recaptured in Georgia, but Collins
is still at large. Murphy was
sentenced to be hanged, but secured
from Governor Ellerbe a commutation
to life imprisonment.
Murphy is one of the prison cooks.
He was turned out with the other
kitchen hands at 4:15 oclock to prepare
breakfast. The guard accompanied
the squad to the mess hall.
Murphy went quietly along until the
group had entered the building,
when he suddenly dashed through
the open back door and ran toward
the shops, which are adjacent to the
western wall of the court yard. At j
the shops, however, he ran into aj
guard whom he was not expecting'

seized and returned to his cell.
The B*., E. and W. Railroad.
It seems that the people of Barnberg,
Ehrhardt and Denmark are determined
to build the proposed railroad
from Ehrhardt to Denmark1
whether or not Walterboro gives any |
assistance. The people of these places
cannot understand why it is that Wal- j
terboro has shown so little interest in
this proposed road, though the cor-1
porators are, we believe, from Walterboro.
It is a useless waste of words to
argue the need we have for such an
outlet. There seems to us no good |
reason why some of our moneyed I
men should not put some of their
means into a project that will be of !
so much worth to Walterboro. If
there are private interests here that |
fear competition we would lay down j
this broad proposition which would :
be a safe guide to follow: That which j
opposes progress or improvement in1
a matter of large interests for the!
sake of private gain, and those enter-;
prises which fear competition and
thwart it by opposing progress, will
sooner or later fail anyway. As well
attempt to stay the incoming tide as
to check advancement.
Therefore we would urge our business
men to take up this matter with
earnestness and aid all they can in
unbottling Walterboro.?Walterboro

riysterious Shooting in Union.
In the city of Union last week, Dr.
Linder, a young white physician,
shot a negro woman named Lucy
Lipsey. Several months ago the
woman went into the doctor's office
and shot him, inflicting a serious I
wound. She was tried and sentenced
to serve two years in the penitentiary.
She had money and had ap
pealed to the State Supreme uourt,
and the case was to have been heard
at the November term of the court.
In the meanwhile she was out on
bond. Dr. Linder shot the woman
as she was coming out of a store, and
no words passed between them. He
is in jail, and the woman died about
two days after she was shot. Five
shots were fired, most of them hitting
her. The whole affair is shrouded
in mystery, as none of the parties
will talk.
