An au ,ience much smaller than the
fame of the reader and the merits of the
entertainment deserved gathered in the
Opera House Tuesday TO hear Mr.. Ed
win Forrest read selections from Hamlet.
The reader dressed in an ordinary dress
suit appeared on the stage at three minutes
before the advertised time and sat down
at desk arranged for the purpose on the
stage. Sitting thus he read nearly the
" hole of tho first three acts of Hamlet with
a frrvor and power of Interpretation rarely
witnessed. The inner meaning of the
sometimes obscure text seemed to shine
forth 80 as to make it plain to all, and We
noticed several most acceptable departures
from the old time stage traditions; for in
stance, in his reading of the lines
There are more things IN heaven and earth,
Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy
he slurred over the "your" aud laid the
emphasis on philosophy " In such way
as TO deprive the sentence of any shade of
the meaning often given II Of al pearing
an imputatiOn direct I especially against
Horatio's philosophy rather than against
philosophy in general, as Shakespeare doub.-
less intended. This, OF course, Is not new,
but Il is worthy of notice as one of the
many fine points marking the reading. It
was indeed a rare treat to hear every part
OF the play read by master of the art,
even though he did not rke one as a
fitting impersonation of the chief charae-
ter, and yet we do not feel with some
enthusiasts that the uniform excellence
thus secured IN all the parts compensates
for the absence Of costume, scenery and
stage effects.
The pleasure of the entertainment was
marred by several annoyances. The be-
| ginning of the reading before the usual
hour caused a nnmber to be late, and this
caused more or less confusion. Then, In
about the middle Of the reading a crowd
of young men and young women marched
into the gallery, and, after sitting while
marched out again, the clatler of theii
hoofs making a most annoying noise, and
suggesting n regret that The horse disease
did not extend beyond mults to their rela
tons on the other side. And then a gas
jet "got high" from some cause or other,
and sang, and whistlcd, and howled. Til
every body In the house was nervous ant
atsast a gentleman 10 the audience went
behind the scenes and tarned down the ga
somewhat. Why some cf the attendants
Of the house did not step up to the CALLER,
and partly turn of that particular burner
we cannot imagine. With all its disturb
ances, however, 1t was most delightful
entertainment, and we only regret that 4
had not larger audience

to remove il as she deemed it of no conse-

TO carry away the box when Joshua Lobb
came along, and took it from them and

HEAVY DEFALeATI0N
AAODNTINGTo OVER geo, 900.


onfast wednesday tbs citizens Of fAEor.
| rstewn were thrown into astate Of con-
| siderable excitement by the announce
rnent that the Hannaur Brothers had
failed and had made an assignment of
|fheir property. They were heavy
|dealersin in dry goods, and enjoyed the
full confidence Of the people, insomuch
that many Of the citizens of the village
and vicinity had not only loaned them
money without collateral security, but
had placed money under their care for
ltAmporary safety. They had been ac-
eustomed to paying high rate of in
terest and paying it promptly, hence
they had won the confidence of every
one so completely that the news of their
failure fell like bomb-shell In The
ranks of their numerous creditors. We
have received the names ofseveral cit
izens who are the victims of this stu
penduous swindle from the sums of
$70G up to $1,000. One mans account
win reach $14, 900 or over, but we believe
be is partly secured That there is
connected with the assign
lnent and that the Hannauf Br6s. are
guiltylof
- INTENTIONAL FRAUD
is evident from the fact that they at
tempted to smuggle away some 5000
worth of goods by packing them in old
barrels and marking them .Bone-Dust.'
Upon this charge they were arrested
ind logged in Jail on Saturday morn
Ing, and were required to give bail 70
he amount of 5000 each which they
have failed to do. Their liabilities
vii. aggregate near SIS, 600 and. their as |
'ets perhaps $25, 600. Their real estate
s=heavily mortgaged. The teamster
'mployed to convey away the SNUG
fed goods had gotten some distance
way, but hearing Of the excitement in
he village and the general indignation
# the citizens, thought it policy to re- ,
urn, and hurFying' back he unloaded
he goods in front of the store-room and
decamped.
The Hannaur Bros. are Jews and
While we do not regard swindling a {
art. of the religion of that money-lov- !
ng sect, due attention should be paid
0 the commercial dealings Of that class
people as. well as to those who are
recognized as honest Y . IA
