new opera Dick Turpin, the music of
which was composed by Mr.. Bowness
Briggs. After that shall go to Chicago
where another play OF mine, called The
Norseman. will be produced by ]. II.
Skunk. This play tells of the develop
ment OF Swede from the time he is an
immigrant on board of the steamer un-
til he becomes AN important factor in
the country's affairs. An entirely new
feature Of the play is that in the irst
act the hero speaks the Swedish Ian
gusge, in the second act broken English
and finally in the last as good English as
any one. This will be produced in Au-
gust, and in September L will return to
Los Angeles to permanently reside. 1t

here and going east or wherever it may
be necessary to arrange for their pro-
duction."
Mr.. Donnelly has the ambition to be
identified with plays OF more serious
nature than the ones he has already
written, and The Norseman is q step in
this direction. He 10 also engaged in
writing a comic opera, the music OF
which is being composed by Dion Ro'

Mr.. Donnelly also briefly outlined
some of his ideas for future plays, and

fresh laurels and a lasting place in the

1t was about 1882 that Mr.. Donnelly
awoke to the fact that there was no
money in the newspaper business and
that more money was to be obtained in
other business. He was press agent for
the Arch street theater of Philadelphia,
and also dramatic editor of dramatic
paper. Shortly after this he took Dark
eet Africa over to New York and read it
before q number of the managers. I'm
fortunately, however, those worthy gen.
tlemen had that prejudice peculiar to
their class against the newspaper man
with play. As a result the efforts of
Mr.. Donnelly to dispose OF his play were
unsuccessful and he was Obliged to return
to Philadelphia with mis- manuscript.
However, he was confident and kept at
it until recently, when the phenomenal
success which has attended its produc-
ton proved that he had not been mis-
taken in it's merit. Finally Gilbert,
Donnelly and Guard, the comedians.
signed contract for him to write them
play. This be did, and turned out

A Pair of Jacks. OF these, Dick Turpin
and Ship Alloy are operas. The latter
has been very successfully produced
both in the east and San Francisco. At
the fiftieth performances at the Tivoli,

A BLIGHTED INDUSTRY,
WHATPROTECTION HAS DONE FOR
SHIPBUILDING.
A LIE sson In Political Economy for tho
American People to Study
and Also to Mas
ter.
lBY RALPH 4. HoYT. ]


The people are just now giving more
attention to public questions than they
have given in times past, bat they mus
yet learn that the causes underlying
these terrible periods OF depression and
suffering are deeper and broader than
either the defeat or the triumph, the
acts or the neglects, of any political
party or parties. The real cause Ia the
monopoly of natural resources by the
few, to the exclusion OF the many. But
in this article l propose to simply
answer a question recently asked by an
eastern ship builder, formerly of New
York city. He desired to know why II
was that so few vessels for the foreign
carrying trade are built in the United
States of late years. reply that chiefly
it is because the American high tariff on
imported materials entering into the
construction OF merchant vessels has
rendered the building of vessels for inter
national traffic Improbable. In sup
port OF this staten snt l herein offer a
few statistics which are condensed from
a report OF the statistican OF the treas
ury department OF our government,
made to Secretary OF State Foster, June
80. 1892. The facts are quite valuable
to the reading public, and interesting,
also, as they show some OF the glorious
results of the navigation laws" which
protectionism has enacted and upheld
in the interests of classes and to the dst-
riment OF the masses. The statistics are
as follows:
The Both OF June, 1859, the tonnage oil
United States vessels engaged in foreign
trade aggregated 3,4s1, 900 tons; that
OF foreign built vessels engaged in trade
with the United States was 1860 ,00C
tons; difference In favor of our own
country, 2. 121 600 tons. In other words,
our vessels had ~ per cent of the total
tonnage, and foreign vessels 28 per cent.
Juns 80, 1892, our vessels had carrying
capacity of 3.746,000 tons, and foreign
vessels IA, 433,000 toms; difference. in
favor of foreign vessels, 0,687 900 tons
or, in other words, the foreign craft had
70 per cent OF the total tonnage, and our
own merchant marine only 81 per cent.
The value of goods carried by United
States vessels in 1853 was $465, TAI ,0e0 ;
the value OF goods carried the same year
by foreign vessels was 1929, 1916 600; diff
ference in favor OF the United States,
1925 935, 900. In 1892 the value OF goods
carried by our own vessels diminished
to 1920, l73, 600, while the value of goods
carried by vessels built in foreign ports
was 1864, 6SS 600; showing a differ
ence in favor Of foreign vessel owners OF
81, 344, 405, 009.
The profits of the carrying trade of the
United States are estimated at $225,-
900, 900 year. But the value of the
carrying trade to our vessels in 1869 and
it's value in 1892 show a falling off in 81
years OF $235, 1886 900. while there was
an increase in favor OF foreign vessels
amounting to 81. 1874, 772, 900.
Such facts as these prove what an
ironcad protective tariff has done
toward running the shipbuilding indus.

Detective Goodman arrested on felony
charge for mutilating books in the pub
lie library, WAS given preliminary ex-
animation in Justice Austin's court yes

bail fixed at $1,000.
The books from which Grebe tore the
leaves were exhibited in court, and there
were 80 or 30. 1t appeared that the
youth had been tearing leaves from the
books at different times since last Jam
uary. He ruined books costing as high
as $50 each.
Grebe gave as reason for his vandal-
ism that he was studying metallurgy and
chemistry. and tore out the leaves OF
books upon those subjects to aid him in
pursuing his studies. Judge Austin

THE FURREY STRIKE.

The Journeymen Plumbers Arc Still
Out.
A week ago yesterday the journeymsn
plumbers in the employ of the w. G.
Furrey company, to the number OF
eight, quit work, on the instructions OF
the master plum bers, but the positions
are now sll filled by non-union men.
The cause of the strike was on account
of the W. Q. Furrey company not sign
ing an agreement suggested by the mas
ter plumbers that would bind the COM
pany not to sell goods to the consumers
unless journeymen did the work. For
instance, if a customer bought dollar
faucet and did not know how to attach
it to the pipe, none other but a union
man was allowed to do the work the extra
price OF the same having TO be paid by
the purchaser. This proposition the
COMPANY declined to comply with. and
as q result the journeymen plumb ers
marched out at the suggestion OF the
master plumbers. and the Furrey COM
pany now has crew of non-union men.
