Is Run All Wllliin the hIisuIowh of the. court limine, In tlitt heart of titarcely beyond speaking distance from the city's churrhes, the nulres of which point proudly heavenward to indicate their illusion to save mankind, la a place where bacchanalian! holds up parently unreHtraliicd sway. Women versed In the ways of the world, together with the blooming damsel whose cheeks sometimes blanche with fearful idiamc an she realizes the depthH of vice Into which she liris plunged, mingle with men attracted thither by the loot of the flesh. Such a spot exists In Muncle. Exeggeratlon and hyperbole need not be employed to characterize the situ-utlon thua described.

TIiIh condition of affairs may be observed almost dally in an old and well known building recognized by the public as the. High Street Theater. I'NDKIt A GlllHK. Under the guise of giving performances from the Btage tiw establishment Is run, but more ostensibly to gather In the shekels hy means of the wine rooms, operated on a broader plun and In a more audacious manner limn hundreds of more pretentions municipalities than Muncle can boast. The moral man whose pride It Is that the city is free of such dens will receive a severe and rude shock at this an-uouncement.

Kvcn those who liave quaffed strong draughts from the bitter cup, have, on visiting tho house, been deeply amazed at the brazenly vulgar way in which altulrs are conducted. Inmates (women) state that so-called Inspections by the police have been made, but shrewdly executed maneuvers by Die violators of the criminal law and moral code deceived the olll-cerB In uniform, wivithb men In ordinary attire would not have caused an uliirm and detection would have been I'lisy. The building Is a familiar structure. It stands on I lie west side of the public equate and is of brick. On the south side of the ground Hour Is a restaurant; on the north side a saloon, but the rear parts of both rooms lead Into a chamber, from which ascends a narrow rickety stairway tiuit proceeds Into a row of boxes, wlili it are well named.

These apartments were raised over the auditorium of the theater, and are about 10 feet In elevation and 20 feet away from the stage. A passage, In which two men can not walk abreast, Is tho means of access to tho boxes, which are meanly constructed of plain pine. CIX)SK AND STUFFY. Ventilation, as applied to this space, would he a parody on the word. Small windows In the north wall, which, are open, permit what little air Is moving In that direction to enter tho enclosures.

Amusing attempts to Bcreen the occupants from the stage consist of faded thin pieces of old lace curtains. Sliding doors open to the boxes, which are so arranged that one can peer over the partitions from one booth Into another. The arrangements are crude at least l.vcii in going to small rooms where women In dccolctte attire are In waiting to secure drinks on order, the visitor or patron passes the dressing rooms, small apart menta, which would provoke laughter from an ordinary self-respecting tliesplan. The view is unobstructed. MEANS OF ENTHANCK.

to reach tills place, one must go through the restaurant or saloon. At the foot of the stairway, a man Is sta tinned to collect t' cents, price of admission. Then, reaching the boxes, the pleasure of the "girls" is awaited. Their pleasure Is ordering the "drinks." Striking In appearance and less modest in their costumes than other unfortu nates In the southern part of the city, are the "girls." Whether cold weather or hot. their costumes range from muclii below the neck to never below me Knee ami consist or llgiil iaurlcs that women are delighted to wear in torrid temperatures.

Their "make-upa" are fashioned to catch the vulgar eye and seldom fall In their purpose. These are the sparkling, vivacious creatures. whose only merit for living is to throw winsome smiles at experienced and 1111 sophisticated men, whose Inclinations are sporty. BEWILDERING SCENE. The scene Is bewildering and there Is the effort made to keep up the wild orgies that will tend to bring out the "cold cash.

It is money that talks. The visitor whose beckoning eye he-trays a desire to open his purse Is the first to draw to him a woman. When he Is served, the two enjoying a tetc-tete, other victims are sought, ih? same program repeated and thus this world moves on. The "girls" number any lamp.
