The Chicagp Tribune has determined to close up the immoral shows in that city if it.is possible to do it According to that paper the performances at the Trocadero and Folly are most shocking and calculated to demoralize all who attend them. 1 They cater to evil suggestiveness and are patronized by the degenerate class' lof people. The Tribune has been ( taking the advertising from these J theatres and up to Tuesday of this week had accepted $863 in payment for advertising and as it wants no tainted money it has given this sum to city charities and is proceeding vigorously against the two theatres. Chief Shippy has announced that he will close both houses unless every objectionable feature Is eliminated from their performances. CLOTHES CLEANED.
