SHENANDOAH.

Bronson Towards successful war play, Shenandoah" bids fair to draw crowded houses at each of its four performances at the Hyperion on the first half of next week. The play is produced here under the aus pices of Admiral Foote post, G. A. R., and remarkably large advance sales have already been made. The production will be in every respect a duplicate of that given in New York for eight months. The cast is a power ful one and the scenic effects are the same used in it's long metropolitan run. In the delineation of Sheridan's ride in the third act, the retreat of the troops across the stage is managed with extraordinary effect. The wounded and dying are dragged acroas the stage before the audience while the boom of cannon and thunder of musketry goes on outeide, and the men struggle away, shame- faced, wounded and driven back. Sheridan rushes on the stage and remarkable trans- formation follows.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.
More About the Behring Sea
Complications.
Opinions Of Members Of the Foreign Rela.
tlonS Committee.
Professor ElliOtt'S Recent Report on the
Wanton Destruction Of Seals-HoW
Congress May Act.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-A Herald's WASH
ington correspondent telegraphs: spoke
to-day with half dozen more public men
prominent in the councils of their respective
parties regarding the Behring Sea complica-
tions. My inquiries were addressed exclu-
sively to members of the Foreign Affairs
Committees of the two Houses
Frye of Maine said Blaine's argument was
that the English poaching should cease, on
the ground of good morals among nations.
Unfortunately for him, report made
subsequently by two Treasury agents
contained intelligence that the seals
were not disappearing, but, ON the contrary,
they were more numerous to-day than they
were ten years ago. This was, might say.
clean blow between the eyes. 1t COM
pletely upset our argument that poaching
was destructive to the life of seals, and in
one sense justified the action taken by the
Canadian sealers. Professor Elliott, how
ever, puts the matter in a different light.
His report made recently public shows that
both the method Of killing on our part. sup
plemented by the wanton destruction by
poachers. is rapidly eXterminating the ami
nal. He argues that few years hence the
animal will become extinct, and he supports
his argument so conclusiyely that l have no
doubt of its correctness.
Representative Morrow of California be-
lieves with Senator Frye that we must wait
for information from the Joint Commits
sion which will visit Alaska and investigate
the matter, and then refer their conclusions
to board of arbitration. He said that if
the President wanted additional funds with
which to furnish better protection to our
sealing interests, Congress would no doubt
Vote them.

A DAGGER UP HER SLEEVE,

Why an Officer Arrested n Refined Look
ing Young Lady.
Look out for the girl with dagger up
her sleeve
1t was at the corner Of two crowded thor
oughfares, and a policeman was standing
near at hand, says New York correspond
ent of the Cleveland Ledger. Some one, it
is impossible to say who, had uttered the
above cry, and just as it was done a long
gilttering knife fell at the feet of a beauti-
fully dressed and refined looking young lady
WHO was preparing to cross the street. The
policeman stepped Immediately forward and
picked up the knife from the pavement,
catching the girl by the arm at the same
time, and looking about for the person that
had given the warning
Is this your knife, Miss" said he, ad-
dressing the young woman. who was trem-
bling with fear and seemed terribly EN-
barrasscd by the curiosity of the crowd that
was quickly collecting.
Yes" she replied. 1T is. and it be-
longs up my sleeve. Give it to me-"
The officer smiled and told the young lady
she would have to go with him to the station
house. To have knife concealed up ones
sleeve was not only illegal but especially
suspicious. Humiliated beyond expression
the girl followed the officer up the street.
Her efforts TO explain that she belonged to
young lady's dagger society only Increased
the suspicion Of the officer, and he carried
her relentlessly into the presence of the DO
lice sergeant. To him she gave her name
and address, and requested that her father
be sent for This was done at once When
the old gentleman arrived, and showed con-
clusively that his child had only been COM
plying with the rules of an absurd club that
lot of fashionable girls had organized, and
was carrying dagger in innocence of the
law forbidding her to do so, the sergeant
smiled grimly and said he believed an arrest
was unnecessary.
The fad came about through the action of
fashionable belle who was being perse-
cuted by man whom she believed crazy,
ana fearing personal violence from him she
hid tiny silyer-handled dagger up her
sleeve. She never had occasion to use il.
but all her friends were so fascinated by the
idea that they all declared the world was
filled with crazy men. and it was necessary
to be protected against them. About half a
dozen of them went seriously into the thing,
and these were happy in the consciousness
Of doing something new and delightful until
their rather dangerous joy was cut short by
the sad experience of one Of their number,
as above related. The girl that was ar
rested declares she will continue to wear
her dagger, but in a safer place than up her
sleeve.

PARBOILED BY STEAM.
George RanselI's Brave Fight for Life
nm Oil We'll.

George RanselPs Brave Fight for Life at
Oil Well.
A telegram from Butler, Pa, to the Pitts
burg Dispatch says: A young man named
George Ransell, who was engaged as
pumper on the McElwee farm, three miles
southeast of Millerstown, was probably
fatally scalded at o'clock this morning,
while lying alongside of boiler which he
had in charge. The rope attached to heavy
iron ball which held ths safety valve broke
at the hour named, and young Ransell's
body was instantly enveioped with steam,
and his clothes saturated with hot water.
He sprang to his feet and made repeated
efforts to get to the door of the engine
house, but failing in this, and exhausted by
the pain and inhalation of steam, he laid
down on the floor with no expectation of
ever getting out again. He had lain down
nearer the entrance than he supposed, and,
catching several breaths of air, coming in
under the door. he made another desperate
attempt for his life, and succeeded in forcing
the door open. BY this time the body Of
steam had been blown out of the boiler, and
when he weakly crawled back in order to
sound the alarm whistle there was just
enough steam to raise faint sound.
Not satisfied that the alarm would waken
anyone at that hour Of the night he started
out for mis- clearinghouse, quarter Of a
mile away. When he had travelled about
half that distance he fell down from SHEER
exhaustion, and cried out for help. For
tunately his landlord had heard the whistle,
and knowing IRON its peculiar sound that
there was something wrong, he fastened in
the direction of the boiler-hOuse. When he
reached Ransell the man was so faint that
he could scarcely speak.
He was carried into the house, where DR..
DeWolfe of Millerstown dressed his
wounds. The skin on his arms, abdomen
and legs was burned off the flesh. and ad-

A POOR IDEA OF FUN.
A Newly Welded Coupie serenaded Until
They Fled.

A Newly Welded Coupie Serenaded Until
They Fled.
MIR. and Mrs. William j. Hamilton, a
newly married couple, have been driven
from their home in Dunellen by the extra
ordinary welcome they received at the hands
Of the villagers on their return from their
wedding trip, says a Plainfield IN. j. spe-
cial to the New York Times. Scarcely had
they settled down in their cosy little cottage
before gang of young men, boys ard girls
began to make protracted series of sere-
nades, which they kept up each night from
O'Clock till early morning.
The melody of the first night was merely
that to be obtained from old tin kettles and
wasll-boilers, thumped vigorously with
stoye-lifters and hickory clubs. Much to
the surprise of the crowd, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton did not appear on the balcony be-
fore which the visitors were assembled to
thank them for their courteous greeting
The hour grew late. but the serenaders
persisted and did not diSperse till some
time after midnight.
Though surprised at Mr.. Hamilton's frigid-
NY the CROWD decided to try again the next
night to bring him forth and tell them how
glad he was to see them. So they pounded
away in increased numbers, and added to
the variety of sounds by introducing such
popular instruments as tin horns and cow
bells. Still MIR. Hamilton did not respend
home puzzled. The next night they en-
larged their list of attractions by pressing an
old accordion, harmonica and clariOnet
into service, and were gratified by the ap-
pearance OF a lace In an upper window. The
face was only that of Mr.. Hamilton's mother
in-law, and they couldn't hear for their own
cheering just what she said, but the fact
that they had begun to attract attention was
source OF qualification, and, satisfied for
one night, they went away
Every night for two weeks they continued
their concerts, and built big bonfires in
front OF the house in the hope that Mr..
Hamilton would come forth. Toward the
end they grew angry at his repeatedly ig-
norlng them, and began to make the night
hdeOus with shrieks and cat-calls and hoOt-
ings. William Bodne and other good peo-
pie were scandaliZed by such goings-on.
MIR. Bodine tried to get the serenaders ar
rested for burning up big tox which had
contained q piano for his church. and a
farmer whose hav-stack had been consumed
made similar effort, but the village Con-
stable laughed them 10 scorn and himself
joined the serenaders.
Night after night the volunteer musicians
gave their concerts and clamored for tartS
and cider and strawberry pie. At last Mr..
Hamilton appeared. He shook his fist at the
crowd and shouted: "You get no preserved
peaches from meW Next day he made prep
arations to move, and last night, when the
serenaderS assembled their victims had
flown. MIR. and Mrs. Hamilton spent de-
yout Thanksgiving at their new home in
SOmerville.
The Dunellen people are getting ready to
sercnade another newly welded couple.

PARNELL's CANVASS.

Meetings Held at Clare and Other Places
Yesterday
KILKENNY, Dec. 21.-Parnell and Scully,
the Parnellite candidate for Parliament, left
here at noon for Clare. They were accom-
panied by long procession of cars filed
with ParnelPs supporters. Upon their ar
rival at Clare the Parnellites found a meet
ing proceeding opposite the Catholic Chapel,
in support of Sir John Pope Hennessy
When Parnel reached the crowd a priest,
Father Walsh, addressing Parnell, said :
" These are chapel grounds; you must aot
speak here" A local farmer here inter-
posed, saying the grounds did not belong to
the chapel and that Parnel had perfect
right to speak there. Parnell said arrange
ments had been made to hold meeting in
the field and it must proceed. Father
Walsh then requested everybody on his side
to leave with him, and some few persons
followed the priest and Sir Thomas Esmond,
who was also present.
A meeting was then organized and Par
nell made an address. He said that al
though his party. did not have all the
word for any of them. After some
further remarks Parnell concluded his
speech, and leaving Clare, accompanied by
Scully. drove six miles to Johnswell, where
another meeting was held. ParnelI re-
minded the electors that they had to deal
with English statecraft, which was watching
to seize every point of vantage ground that
the lrishmen surrendered. 1t was not for
big board of guardians that Ireland con-
tended; it was parliament that would fully
satisfy the aspirations OF the people. 10
achieve this the people must stand by their
leader and not leave Ireland to incapable
persons, who were trying to step into is
shoes.
A meeting of Parpelli.es was held outside
ParnelPs hotel here at 8 o'clock this
evening. Parnell addressed the gathering.
Parnell goes to Avondale after the cleo
tion in Kilkenny and will proceed thence to
Paris to confer with O'Brlen. Davitt made
