New York cast, scenery and effects, which
have characterized its wonderful success all
over the English-speaking world. II Is uni
versally conceded to be the greatest dramatic
and mUneycd success this country has seen
for years. You are not startled by any great
dramatic finish in Shenandoah ~ you are
charmed into a sense of forgetfulncss of
your surroundings. The walls of the theater
melt away into the undulating autumn tinted
hills which surround tho beautiful valley of
Shenandoah, and the paint and canvass OF
the scenery lose their artificiality, while the
decorated ceilings overhead have given place
TO n blue sun-Kissed sky. The characters on
the stage, too, have become alive and their
dolngs concern you as much us If you yourself
were one of their party and yonr life's happi-
ness depended upon the result OF their efforts,
and when all is over and the curtain has been
rurg down on the last act, you seem to
awaken as from a dream that was really
nothing anu mas oeen o Meeting u emory Oh
your w past. Jessie Stewart as Mrs. Con-
stance Haverhill, in shenandoah" has
shown herself to be a very clever woman on
the stage. Madaline West, sister of Colonel
West, in Shenandoah as played by Miss
Grace AtweE, is u very pretty piece of act
ing. Sergeant Barket, the comedy Irish
character in Shenandoah" is in the hands
of w. l.. Gleason, one of the best irish
comedians on the stage. He has played this
part over 600 times.

Masonic.


In Christ's church In Dublin, Ireland, there
is one OF the most curious Masonic monu-
ments la the world. IL is that OF Mrs. Aid
worth, perhaps tho only woman VINO was
ever really initiated into the mysteries OF
Masonry. She was Hon. Elizabeth St.
Leger, and the only daughter OF Arthur st.
Leger, first Visc0unt Doner2ile. She mar
ried Richard Aldworth OF New Market. AT
the time the meetings of lodge "A, an aristo-
cratic lodge, were held at Doneraile house,
her brother, Lord Doneraile, who succeeded
his father in lT2S, being worshipful mas
young lady, hearing tho lodge was ABOUT
TO assemble. was ANXIOUS TO heor what was
going on, and, according to one account, she
concealed herself in a clock, and according TO
another she saw the proceedings OF the
lodge through a crevice in tho wall. That
she was made a Precursor Is ~undoubted,
though when SO MADE does not so clearly
appear. Her portrait in Masonic clothing
appears in many OF the Irish lodge rooms
and relics OF her are preserved, such as her

YOUNGSTOWN in Danger.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Jan. 5-Serious
alarm exists here because of the large
amount of ice which lies upon the
river several miles above the city.
The Edgemoor Bridge Company,
which Is building the new bridge,
has the river obstructed with trestle
work, and should the ice move down
it will certainly gorge and flood the
town, as well as carry off the
bridges. The only hope at this time
10 that the increasing cold weather
will cause the river to subside..

such jam had ever been seen in New York.
In fact, New York appeared to have
emptied itself into this particular basin,

practically deserted. The steamship glided

The carriage as soon as possible began to
make its way through the throng and

to welcome her. The first arch, which
fronted the wafer, bore the inscription,
Welcome, Jenny Lind The second was

crowd broke down the light picket railing

crowd back, and once clear Of the throng

BARNUM AND JENNY LIND.

He Brought Her to America, and Made
100000 on the Venture.
Mr.. Barnum was forty years old at the
time he brought Jenny Lind to America.
Her arrival in New York occurred Sept. l,
1850, and she was received with great en-
thusiasn. Two or three years before his
death Mr.. Barnum recounted the story of
that day. His eyes sparkled and he grew
visibly excited as he spoke. He said:
"It was beautiful afternoon. The ves-
sci was several days late, and we were all
wsyching for her rather anxiously. AT
o'clock the news that she was in sight was
telegraphed up from Sandy Hook. l at
once set out in tug, boarded the steamer
at Quarantine, and in the midst of cheer
ing crowd on the steamers deck welcomed
Jenny Lind to America. Ordinarily she
was not pretty-in fact, she was rather
plain, although her face was always
pleasing one-but on this occasion the ex-
element and pleasure of the moment
transformed her into beautiful woman.
nnumerable United States flags were fly
ing on the shipping as we passed up the
harbor, and when the sailors on one vessel
dipped the stars and stripes in her honor

musicians of America She thanked them
cordially, and after few minutes CONVEX
sation retired, wearied and delighted with
the events of the day.
'At that time New York was very poorly
supplied with opera halls Jenny Lind
hall, afterward Tripler hall, was still in
complete, although work had been pushed
on it as much as possible So we made
tour of the city to select place for an
opening. Everywhere we went we were
escorted by large crowds. Indeed, nothing
but Jenny Lind was talked about or
thought of. Finally we selected Castle
Garden. So great was the demand for tick
cts that it was decided to dispose of them
at auction and at the place where she was
to sing for the first time in America. This,
too, was an innovation-tickets to an en-
tertainment had never before been AUG
toned in this city.
''The day was dreary and wet in the ex-
IRENE, but the house was crowded, al
though an unexpected imposition of one
shilling, or 1919 cents, admission-it was
all shillings then, our chief currency be-
ing English and Spanish coin at that time
was placed on all who entered by the
proprietor of the Garden. Genin, the hat
ter, bid in the first ticket ever sold for
Jenny Lind in America at 1925, a sum that
appeared immense in those days. The first
day ,429 tickets were sold, the gross
amount realized being $9,119.25, and the
second day the remaining seats, to the
number of 3055, brought $15,319 making
total of $24, 43S % for the first nights con
cert. There isn't question but Jenny
Linds advent was the greatest amusement
event that has ever been witnessed in the
history of New York"
Barnum's original contract with the
great singer contained some strange pro-
visions. He agreed to furnish her with
waiting maid, a male servant and secre
tary, to pay all their expenses, to furnish
her each day with q carriage and horses
and to pay her $1,000 for each concert or
oratorio in which she sang. He agreed to
pay Julius Benedict S25, 900 to conduct $50
concerts, and to pay Belletti, the baritone,
So, 500 for the same number of concerts.
After giving ninety-three concerts in the
United States and in Cuba the contract
was annulled by Miss Lind, who paid Mr..
Barnum 81, 900 each for the seven concerts
lacking to make 100, and $4,000 forfeit for
not completing the $50 according to the
contract. Jenny Lind's net avails of the
concerts under Mr.. Barnum's manage
ment, after deducting the SO, 0G0 and 81 GOO
forfeit money, were ste, 675.09, and Mr..
Barnum's gross receipts, after paying
Jenny Lind, were $535, 1926.
More than forty years have passed since
the first of those concerts was given
Jenny Ilinds beautiful voice has long been
silenced.
