THE THEATERS.
New Pieces and Fresh Business
Crowd Three Theaters.
The Dazzler" at the California" Fernclitf"
at the Bush" The stepdaughter" at
the Alcazar-The Orpheum.

There were three openings last evening
THE Dazzler" at the New California.
"Ferncliff' at the Bush-street Theater. and
Miss Annie Ward Tiffany in The Step
daughter" at the Aleazar. All the theaters
where the new business came Oh were
crowded. showing that desire for novelty
exists in this community, and no matter
how excellent the performance of pieces in
the run may be. many will be drawn away
out of a spirit of curiosity to see what is be-
ing done at tie other houses. The Baldwin
showed a slight falling off in attendance on
the Alabamians. although we have not seen
the piece so neatly and completely rendered
as it was on the second Monday night of its
presentation. One character in this re-
markabie play is gradually growing on the
public. and that is the ingenue part OF Cary
Preston, as played by Miss Miller. There
is a delightful tone of naturalness per-
vading it, the innocence of young life
TO which love comes as a surprise
and the struggle between the old love for
Grandpa Preston and the new and uneX-
pected passion for Mr.. Armstrong, which
sweeps through her young life and worldly
iuexperience with irresistible force. Ala
bama" ought to be seen by everybody who
appreciates good play acted with consum
mate dramatic talent.

City Hall Window Falls In and Is Shat
tered to Pieces.
A specimen of the workmanship done on
portions of the City Hall was exposed to
public knowledge about 80 o'clock on Sun
day in a somewhat costly manner. Clerk
Lawler of the Board of Health had occa-
sion to visit the isolated apartment COM
monty called the smallpox room. He only
remained few minutes, and almost before
his back was turned, after locking the door
of exit, he heard a crash that made him
think the entire Larkin-street wing had
been shattered to pieces. He re-entered the
room, and there on the floor lay the entire
frame, sash and casing of the enormous win
dow that lights that apartment. The two
massive panes, of the very finest three
eighth plate glass, were smashed into num-
berless fragments, and the woodwork was
more or less injured. 1t will probably cost
the city $500 to repair the damages. The ac-
ctaent was the result of the frame being in
securely set in the masonry.

Suit VIII BE Brought Against Their
Employers.
The striking fishermen who recently
returned from Alaska held an indig-
nation meeting at Coast Seamen's Hall yes
terday afternoon and voted to employ a
lawyer to sue the eight companies of kulah,
by whom they were employed, for their
wages. a committee was appointed to lay
the strikers grievance before the Coast
Seamen last night, and as Il result the in
fuence of this powerful labor organization
was secured.
The strikers say that they were engaged
to fish for the companies at the rate Of S12 80
per every thousand fish obtained, and be-
sides this they were to receive $50 per capita
for the season. 1t appears that more fish
had been obtained than the company wanted
and the agreement was broken. Then the
men struck and returned to their homes.
They say that the company is willing to
pay them for the first they caught, but re-
fused to pay them the bonus for the season.

Another farce comedy, The Dazzler."
and one that has some novelty in it, was
produced at the California last evening by
Kate Castleton and well-selected company
OF Eastern people. The house was crowded
by an audience that had come to be amused,
and if hearty laughter and liberal applause
are to be taken as criterion they must have
been gratfed to their hearts content No
one could define the plot Of The Dazzler."
1t Is kind OF play upon which number of
clever specialties are hung. OF course there
are gags galore and, mlrabAe dictu! some of
them have an air of freshness about them
And then have we not Kate CaStleton-
Bonnie hate-as bright and full of animal
spirits rs before; grown somewhat stouter,
but still the same old Kate. Her voice il as
sweet as ever, and the songs that she sings
only whet the appetite Tor more. Her
dancing must not be forgotten, for she
moves about the stage with the lightness Of
the fawn. She makes several changes Of cos
tune during the performance and in each
looks more bewltchlng than the previous one.
The bright little lady was repeatedly ap-
Dlauded for her efforts. There are some
very good people in the supporting COM
pany. MIR. Joseph OFT, Mr.. Max Miller and
Mr.. Martin O'Neill are a clever trio of
IaTce-cOmedanS and provoked no end of

NEW ENGLAND HIRED MEN.
Treated by Farmers as Though 7he!
 Were Member of the Family.

Treated by Farm-rs Though They
 Were Member of the Family.
 The hired man" on a New England farm occupies a unique position and in many ways is a privileged character. As a usual thing. says the Boston Journal. he is regarded, not as a serv- ant. but almost as a member of the household There are New England farmers worth their hundreds of thou. sands of dollars who never sit down tc a meal that they do not have their field hands at their elbow. In the ordinary household intercourse the wOrlimen Q tine farm are treated not as menials. no as interiors, but almost. if not quite, a, equals. They are on terms of comrode ship with the other members of tn, household. young and old, and they have their recognized place in ordina " family gatherings. This relation O the cmpIoye JO the empower IS a phe nomcnOn that is to be found in Ncv England only, or at least in the north ern states of America. where New Eng land customs largely mold the habits the agricultural population. The inti mate relation of master and man orig mated in conditions which no lonre exist. In the old days, when the farm CTS hired man" was his neighbOr's son who lent his aid to help a neighbo through the busy season, and ofteI spent the rest of the year teaching school or pursuing his studies in coun try academy, such aE arrangement was only natural and proper, and indeed the only possible oue. But the hired men of New England. considering them as a whole, are now distinct and separate tsiass, usually vf unknown and occasion ally of sinister autecedents. The old familiar relations of master and man are no longer desirable or safe. Yei there arc many farmers who persist in going blindly n m the old way. \ resi-. dent of Q city who followed a similar line of policy with an unknown man who drove his horse or built his furnace fires would be deemed a fit subject for . lunatic asylum.
