The Norfolk ticket seller , a part of
whose duties It Is to bear with the
traveler's burdens , encounters a dozen
times each day a peculiar grievance
on the part of travelers out of Norfolk
who fall to understand that the mile
or so between the two Northwestern
depots Is carefully computed In the
ticket charges enforced in the respec
tive depots. A woman who has bought
a ticket for Hadar at eleven cents era
a ticket for Crelghton nt eighty-one
cents at the up-town station , drops Into
an aggrieved look when she is tnxed
fourteen and eighty-five cents for the
same tickets nt the Junction. And
there are some people who can never
comprehend that the ride up town is
just ns much a part of their Journey
as any other two miles on the trip
Some of these people leave Norfolk
with a trace of suspicion against the
ticket seller and the railroad who
seem to them to have a double set of
ticket prices to catch the unwary
"And have tickets gone up too ? " Is
asked with nn evident suspicion of
rnllroad jugglery as the extra two or
three cents is asked for. While a single
glo ticket between the two stations
Is sold at five cents , the minimum tick
et charge , an Investigation discloses
that the variation In the costs of tick
ets from the two stations to the same
town runs all the way from two to four
cents.

AT THEJHEATER
"When We Were Friends. "
A good sized audience saw and very
much enjoyed the presentation of
"When We Were Friends , " nn Inter
esting comedy drnmn well played by n
company bended by Wllllnm Mncnu-
ley. The piny was written by W. B.
Patton nnd Is being produced by the
linn of Macauley nnd Pntton. By
queer coincidence Mr. Pntton , the au
thor of last night's play , has been
booked for the next attraction In the
Auditorium , ho being lending mnn In
n rich comedy , "Tho Slow Poke , "
which comes next Monday night. The
scenery carried by the "When Wo
Were Friends" company Is of high ex
cellence , and it Is doubtful If n play
showing nt popular prices has ever
equalled the scenery that they brought
to Norfolk. Every scene was complete
In detail and of expensive sort. The
costumes also were of an extraordi
nary quality , and greatly pleased. Mr.
Mncauloy is a big , good looking fellow
witli an excellent voice. Frank C.
Harris was exceptionally clever ns
Snrno , n funny man , and J. G. Mcfar-
lane , T. J. Richardson nnd Miss Sarah
Cameron were particularly good In
their parts. There is plenty of mirth
In the piece and an Interesting plot.
"The Slow Poke" Coming.
Norfolk amusement lovers will have
opportunity next Tuesday night to see
an exceptionally delightful comedy ,
"The Slow Poke , " in which W. B. Patton -
ton , an actor and playwright of note ,
W B Pntton , Comedian
appears In the leading role. Mr Pnt
ton writes his own plays nnd he Is
pronounced by the dramatic papers to
be n peculinr comedian of pleasing
type. "The Slow Poke" Is a western
play and Mr. Patton , In the character
of Barry Ware , the big hearted slow
poke westerner , Is given n chance for
revelation of his peculiar talents. Mr
Patton Is pronounced by many critics
as s player very similar to Tim Mur
phy and Frank J. Keenan , both of
whom have delighted the best of Nor
folk audiences , and to Sol Smith Rus-
sel. He Is one'of that droll type of
humorists whose quiet , quaint and
wholesome acting brings tears with
pathos ono moment and hearty laugh
ter the next. Mr. Patton will be one
of the stars who will please Norfolk
most this season. Prices will be $1.00 ,
75c , 50c , 35c and 25c.
