For many years fishermen had
been fishing in this manner in the
canal, and a number made their liv-
ing in that way. The new order is
sued December . of last year. pre-
venting this kind of fishing. caused
a general protest among fishermen
and other citizens of Delaware City.
In resembling she order Secretary
Weeks specifies that fishing can be

restrictions and one OF these is that
those desiring to so FISH must first

tor dupont had taken the matter up
with the War Department and Il

.HEMPEL CHARMS
AS JENNY Lind
VisualizeS Famous Swedish
Nightingale" in Voice
and Costume
GETS OVATION AFTER
HOME SWEET HOME"

The charm OF the world famous
Swedish Nightingale" and that of
the old-time songs were recalled and
visualized in picturesque fashion by
/ Miss Frleda Hempel in Jenny
Lind Concert" at the Playhouse last
night. Not only was the program
composed OF numbers such as Jenny
Lind sang while making her memoir
able visit TO America, but they were
enhanced by costumes such as were
worn in her day.
Miss Hempel wore a gown OF
white satin with hoop skirts. and her
assisting artists. Conrad V. Bos.
pianist, and Louis p. Fritze, hutist,
were attired in the fashion of the
sixty and more years ago. To en-
nance the illusion. a group of VIII
mington society girls, appropriately
sowned and carrying shepherdess'
crooks. served as honorary ushers.
That the large audience caught
and appreciated the atmosphere
thus conveyed was evident from its
rapt interest and frequent applause.
After Miss Hempel had sung
The Last Rose OF Summer" and
Home. Sweet Home" in a manner
that brought tears to the eyes OF
many OF her hearers, and the hon
orary ushers presented her with a
big armful of American Beauty
roses. the star OF the evening was
given a verltable ovation.
The former coloraulra of the
New York Metropolitan Grand |
Opera, was in splendid voice and |
sang difficult and horid passages
with an ease and fiuency Her rem
dition OF the "Casta Diva" from the |
opera Norma, and Benedict's Car |
nival OF Venice" and well-nieh |
faultless. She also sang the Greet
ing 10 America" which was written
specially for Jenny Lind" with much
grace. Her encores also were hap
PLY chosen and effective. She sang
The Blue Danube" and the Might
Wind" with a spirit most dramatic.
A delightful feature OF the con-
cert was that Miss HempeTs assist
ing artists were thorough masters of
their respective instruments. Mr..
Bos gave Chopin's Romance" and
Waltz in G Flat" with true sense
Of tonal balance and delicacy that
was winning. Mr.. Fritze. in addi-
ton 10 accompanying Miss Hempel
in her numbers calling for flute OBJ
ligato, also played Boehm's AN
dante Pastoral" and the widely
known "Minuet," by Beethoven.
The honorary ushers were Miss
Elinor Vandegrlft, Miss Helen Odell. !
Miss Sara Townsend. Miss Julia Ell |
lott, Miss Marjorie Pyle. Miss Kath- /
crime b. Hiles. Miss Dorothy Curtis !
