A PEDDLkR,S SCHEME.
How Housewives Are Being victimized
by Bogus Sailors,

now HOUSEWIVES Are Being Sictimized
by Bogus Sailors.
The people living in the districts south Of
Market street are again being victimized by
peddlers, who. dressed in blue clothes and
wearing peaked cap, pretend that they
are officers Of an English ship aud are SELL
ing goods that have been brought into the
country without paying duty. The peddlers,
whose schemes were fully exposed in The
CALL about a year ago, after which they
quit business for while. have again en-
tered the field and are making money.
The chief articles they are selling now
are ladies' dress goods, cashmere and tricot.
They state that they have been smuggled
in by an English ship captain, and when
further questioned they say the goods were
not smuggled. but, being cut in dress
lengths, no duty is required to be paid on
them.
The goods are of an inferior quality, but
many ladies', believing the story of the
bogus sailors, have been victimized.

" Shenandoah" Versus "HeId by the
Enemy"


There is a shadow of Shenandoah"
over Held by the Enemy" as presented
at the New California. Howard and Gillette
are at odds, and the difference is in favor of
Howard. We do not decry Gillette's work;
1t is a good-enough Morgan" when it is
not matched against BronsOn's, and the
latter has been too lately on this stage for
the memory Ot its excellence in eOnstruc-
j.. tion to have faded out. But, at the same
time, Held by the Enemy" has its own
clientele, and there are few empty seats in
the auditorium. Those who attend like a
more robust war-drama than Mr.. Howard
gave US; they like burning powder and re-
porting guns, and the realization of the
Wel-knoWn soldiers expression. that War
means destruction" They have it in Mr..
Gillette's play more than in HOward's,
where the horrors of battle are only learned
through the suaYe media of the sweet lips
OF those in love with the chief combatants
~on both sides of the line. The present war
drama has been well mounted by Mr.
Harry Mann. All the scenes are splendidly
framed by the stage settings.

AFTER Dark General Mention.

Mr.. Wilson Barrett and company, after
spending two nights with 'Ben-My-C Chree,
repeated Hamlet" last night, and the at
tendance iustifes the impression that the
public like Barretts idea Of the Prince of
denmark, aside as it may be from the
somewhat stited transmitted traditions.
We cannot remain fastened to any holding
ground in regard to the plays OF Snake
speare. So much has been said. and TO no
purpose, about this picture Of Danish LIE,
that we begin to think there is only one
true Hamlet-and he remains to be dis
covered II saw the play of Hamlet
writes correspondent from Germany,
''performed in the wealthy city of Frank
fort by actors Of repute; but the catastro-
Pie was changed. AS Hamlet is about to
drink the poison the Queens illness is per-
ceiyed, his hand is stayed, he rushes on the
King and slays him; he is attacked, thun-
der is heard. the Queen confesses, he for
% gives Laertes, and alls well that ends we'll" !"
This innovation was made as long ago
as the year 1900; and Germany is in
closer rapport with Denmark than

Every actor Of note has his own Hamlet,

OF his piece in its scenic features is con-
cerned, it is picturesque from beginning to

is placed in a case and is subject

a solder composed of brass and
zinc, which is poured into the inter

was cooled it was bored. The
particular gun which was construct

Department was regarded as a

The strength of the gun has been
greatly increased by recent de-
