This is the cast with which Hamlet
was played at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, last Monday night,
for the benefit of Lester Wallack. In
ape king of the -be-forgotten
vocca sion, to which it devotes an entire
mage With diagrams of some OF the prin-
cipal scenes, the New York Herald says:
II is hardly possible to suppose that
the history of our metropolitan stage
will contain single page more brilliant
than that which will record the great
social dramatic event of this season
the Wallack testimoniallastnig at the
Metropolitan Opera House. Its not IN
the performance OF Hamlet alone that
! the lover of the stage will ind the
kreatest point of interest, but in all that

The question will at once be asked
was this an Ideal Hamlet?" In mere
criticism there is nothing that can be
said of Hamlet, and little of Edwin
Booth. In word, then, let this he the
verdict as the curtain fell at midnight
over a rapt and brilliant audience
that no such performance YVES ever seen
in this country. Nor does it come
within the range of extravaganza state

Generosity Of a Pioneer.

Away on what is known as the south
branch Of the Union Pacific railway in Gun
nison county, Colorado, is a station called
Parlin. There is nothing of the place except
depot and postoffice, and every train must
stop there five minutes, whether it is a pas
senger or q freight train. Not many feet dis
tant is the house Of John Parlin. The house
is made of logs and is Oil the side of q hill
which stretches back and bitches itself to q
mountain that raises itself up until its snowy
summit touches the blue sky The waters
come down the mountain side in a silvery
laughter and all day long make music within
q stones throw of John Parlin.
The acres of foliage, the pastures green for
miles about belong to John Pariin. The
herds of blooded cattle on the hillsides and In
the valleys are John Parlin's. Near the sta
ton and in the middle of as limpid a stream
Of water as ever charmed fairy, Is a dairy
in which are crooks and crooks and crooks OF
milk from John Parlin's Holstein herd.
Here in this secluded spot remote from
the contentious of this busy world came the
railroad engineer running his line. John
Parlin took him in and gave him Of his cheer
in hospitable manner that would inspire an
American Walter Scott The engineer went
away, and later on came other railroad men,
some of them magnates, and John Parlin
furnished them food and rest and plenty of
milk. Then they told him they wanted 1900
acres Of his land, and asked him to name his
price
i'The old man in his generosity of heart,
in his nature which partook Of the freedom
Of his homo and its picturesque surroundings,
said to them: you can have 1900 acres il
you will put depot over thee . near the
dairy and make all your trains stop there
fivo minutes The road was built. The
agreement was kept, and is till this day.
And John Parlin sits in the doorway of his
log house and sees the trains come in and
stop. And the passengers and the engineers
and the firemen and the conductors and the
brakemen leave their trains and 60 over to
the dairy and partake of John Parlin's Hol-
stein cows milk, fresh and cooled by the
mountain stream, free of charge. Then they
return to the train and 1t speeds away, and

Firearms IN African warfare.

Professor Drummond, the African traveller
says he has often wished he could get inside
an African for an afternoon and just see how
he looks at things. 1t is certain his views of
the world are very different from ours. The
Generalin-chief of the king of Uganda's
army recently expressed some novel ideas ON
the introduction OF firearms in native war
fare. He told the king he was sorry gun
powder had ever reached the great lakes. In
the good old times the Waganda warriors
were invincible. Those were the days of hand
to hand combats, when victory rewarded
the bravest and strongest, and skill in hand
ling the lance and shield decided the fortunes
Of war But now, clumsey coward safely
hid in the grass can kill the bravest soldiers.
There is no longer chance for glorious feat
OF arms and 'since guns are the fashion we
must fight with guns" This stickler for war
clubs and assegais was doubtless all the more
impressed with the degeneracy OF the times
from the fact that he was suffering from
two bullets wounds inflicted by the Wayoro.
whom for the first time in his life he had
failed to whip. 1t seems a pity that all saw
ages do not harbor old fashioned prejudices
against firearms New York Sun.
