Police Notes.

James McKenna, who occasionally appears at the station house under different aliases, was arrested yesterday for begging on the street. There is no doubt about his being tramp and in this connection the question arises why tramps are not served the same here as in other cities, namely, sent up for trial. A number of this class of offenders were recorded among the list of lodgers last evening and the number increases.
 Timothy Ketchum was arrested last even- ing for indecent exposure.
 Alice Osborne, colored, was arrested last evening on a charge of prostitution.

 Haven at Carll's Opera House this evening as
 sHamlet.n He will be assisted by Miss Az mes Herndon and a carefully selected com pany. He has created sensation in the dramatic world by his essaying so difficult role as Hamlet and by his filling it with marked ability for one of his years The New York Mai7 said of him: "A veteran actor might have been proud to play to such an audience as witnessed his Hamlet last night. New York's best society was represented largely and gave the young aspirant for his- trionic honors close attention. Time and study will bring him to the front rank of the profession ,, The Grapaic says s.This young gentleman (and he is scarcely more than boy in appearance) gave us last night really praiseworthy rendition of the trying role of Hamlet. All the New York dailiea accorded him high praise, and placed his effort as surprise and success warranting high expec- pectations in the future of the bold young actor.
