THE IDEALS
Tho stockbridge course will open October
9Th at City Hall with the Ideal opera Com
pany in 'sVjctor the Blue Stocking. Inc
scene of this amusing opera is laio IN the
eventful year when the Bastile was taken.
The interest of the plot centres in a pair Oh
lovers, Victor Delmar, letter writer ana
Fanchette, ballad-singer. The comedy ere
ment is supplied by an absurd old aristocra''
the Marquis de Palsambleu, and his s H',,9
Celestine, ECountess de Bonboniere. IhiS
lady is desperately smitten with the hand
some Victor, and, jealous as she Is Oh f an-
Ghetto, is delighted ON discovering IN ner
rival, the street ballad singer, her brother
long-lost daughter, Agnes, stolen When
child, by gypSieS. The separation OF the l0V,
ers; Victor's despair; Fanchette's betrothal
to fopling, M. de Florac, her cousin, whom
she dislikes; the advances made in vain by
the Countess to Victor; the adventures OF a
sergeant of the guards and his Amazonlan
wife; fortune teller, who has found ana
brought up Fanchette as her own daughter;
the troubles endured by the Marquis In con-
sequence of his literary labors being revised
by Victor, and panegyrlc on royalty turned
into republican street-ballad,-a these are
strongly eontrasted with the sudden change
in the relative positions of the people and
henobility. Victor becomes a general, the
Marquis and Countess vendors of coffee and
lemonade. By an unexpected exercise OF
generosity on the part of DE Florac, the lov.
ers are united, and the once noble family of
Palsambleu reconciled to union with Vic
tor, the Blue-stocking.

YOUNG FgsNEY CAPTURED
While Lying Hidden In a House on
Plum Street.

Mrs Feeney, the victim of the recent
ported about the same yesterday as the day
previous.
Young Feeney was captured late last night
at house on Plum street, occupied by
family named Miller. Having learned that
the boy might be in hiding at this place.
Deputy Marshal Black with squad of
officers went to the house. The premises
were surrounded, and then the officers
knocked at the door. From the inside came
the question, who's there?" and warned
by the answer, 'the police" the occupants
made an attempt to help Feeney out of a
back window on to the roof of shed in the
rear But the roof was already occupied,
and the two officers there took advantage of
the attemptto get the boy out, to get into the
house by means Of the window Then began
a search for Feeney, who had mysteriously
disappeared, which ended when Officer
Stevens dragged from the centre of mat
tress, lying upon the floor, small and badly
frightened boy, who had burrowed into the
husks with which the mattress was filled
and buried himself from sight, in hopes to
elude the officers
AT the police station, where he was locked
up in one of the cells, Feeney said that he
did not mean to shoot his mother. He had
bought the revolver in Lewiston, and while
playing with his mother, had drawn one of
the cartridges, leaving empty, as he sup
posed, the chamber on which the hammer
would next fall. He claims that the pistol
was only at half cock at the time it went off.
The boy said that after the shooting he
climbed the fence at the rear of the house
and made his way to Franklin street, and
then to the Grand Trunk Railways yard.
After dark he went up Fore street to near
Chatham, and some boys told him about his
mothers wound. That night he slept lin
Coveny's alley ON Centre street, and the next
night found quarters on fishing vessel,
going to Miller's to sleep for the first time
last night In the day time he has hung
around tho e+-n..~, l~i--ey applied NTH foou
by boys. The revolver he threw away.
Feeney is rather small for boy sixteen
years old He has an intelligent face and
did not appear to be vicious boy. He
was somewhat confused last night and re-
called his doings since Wednesday with con-
siderable effort. Only several members of
the police force knew him, and he was able
to avoid arrest from the fact that all the
description the officers could get would fit a
hundred other boys about as well as this one.
