Ravages of Star Fish or Bad Effects
 of Dredging

Ravages of Star Fish or Bad Effects
 of Dredging.
 For the first time ever known at this season of the year there are no seal lops in the Warren market, says the Providence Journal. For a day or two after the 1st of September there was a small supply, which was obtainable at 50 cents a quart, which was the high est price ever known, but at present none of the bivalves are obtainable. A moderate supply is expected from New Bedford after the 1st of October, when the Massachusetts law permits dredging, but the price will probably rule as high as $1.50 a gallon at whole sale, owing to the unprecedented short supply in Rhode Island waters.
 There is reported to be a fair set of scallops in parts of Buzzard's Bay and contiguous sections, but there was no set at Coles River and other nearer waters this year. The fishermen at tribute the short supply in local wa ters to the ravages of the starfish, but others ascribe it to the constant dredg- ing, which has destroyed the seed seal lops, and they predict that the pres ent famine will be perpetual. The ex- tremely high price which now prevails incites the fishermen to greater ac- tivity in search of the bivalves, and cannot fail to practically eXterminate the seed scallops in few years.

Statement Required of Goods Sold
 Without Stamps.
 Every druggist in tho state has re- ceived a circular from the revenue de- partment asking him for a statement of all goods sold between the 1st and 18th of July, on which stamps should have been placed, but during which time the government was not able to furnish the stamps. When the list is prepared the proprietor has to go be- fore a notary public and swear to its correctness. Then it is forwarded to the revenue office, and it sends a re- ply, stating the amount of money re- quired for stamps, the druggist being obliged to forward a check for the amount. On receipt of the check the government returns a receipt.
 It will not do for the dealer to say that he has cancelled stamps for the amount when the stamps were finally received for if he has done so, he Is so much out, for no stamps are furn- ished for goods sold between those dates.
 Most of the druggists kept list of all sales made during the time men, toned, so that it will not be much work to prepare a statement In some places this was not done, and it is ex- pected that considerable trouble will follow before settlements are com pleted. Many men thought that the government would not call for state ments, and, as they could not furnish ho Sn in pocket. These men wish they had been a little more particular in keep ing list of sales for those two weeks

Hyperion Theater.
MAN N-O'WARS- MAN.

Thomas E. Shea's play, 'The Man o'Wars- Man." which comes to the Hy- perion next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is one of the striking suc- cesses of the season. The play has all the clements which contribute to a great success There Is enough of strong, healthy excitement, stirring scenes and thrilling incidents in the piece to furnish material for half a dozen plays. The principal interest, of course, centres in the hero, Captain Jack Conway, impersonated by MT. Shea. Conway is one of those bold, free and easy sailors such as Clark Russell loves to describe in his famous sea stories. MT. Shea will be seen in this city in "The Man. -O'Wars- Man at the Hyperion. The play will be giv- en with all of the scenery, effects, etc., which characterized it's nine weeks stay in New York last season. The seats have been placed at prices to suit the public at large, 15 to 50 cents and are now on sale at the box office.
 THE IDOLS EYE.
 Victor Herbert, the composer of the score of Frank Daniels latest suc- cess, "The Idols Eye" has just re- ceived from Sir Arthur Sullivan, a most complimentary letter. In the course of it, Sir Arthur says: '"The Idols Eye" you seemed to have solved the difficult problem of blending both the popular (so-called) and the classic, and so reap the fiattering approval of the champions of both styles. Most heartily do I congratulate you" Frank Daniels will be at the Hyperion next Saturday.
 THE JOLLY MUSKETEER.
 There never was more popular comedian in New York than Jeff De Angelis, and every one predicts brill iant success for him in his new estate.
