Possart, the German actor. who has
been playing at the Thalia Theater
an engagement which has now lasted
upward OF sixty nights, is a man
of As, perhaps three inches under six
feet in height, with q sturdy frame,
strong face, and intellectual head. He
has dark, curly hair, and goes smooth
shaven. He is careful and fashionable
IN his dress, and courtly in his ways.
It can be said of him that he is a
player of many parts. The characters
in which he has appeared at the ITALIA
have covered a wider range. perhaps,
than any American actor OF this day
would be willing to undertake to ELL.
When Herr Possart called upon Presi-
dent Cleveland the other day, the
President said he would be glad to see
him play, and hall promised him a
full house il he would come to Wash
ington. Manager Amberg promptly
took the President at his word, and
Herr Possart will play one night in
Washington before hs'goes home. He
will sailor Germany about the mids
die Of April. Herr Possart played in
Munich for twenty years. He wentto
Berlin when the mad Kirg Ludwig
committed suicide. He makes more

1t is learned, according to a cor
respondent. that the recent suicide
of the young Prince Of Hohenlohe- Och.
ringen, son of the Duke of Ujest, and
secretary to the German embassy at
the Russian capital, was due to I'm.
successful gambling. He was to have
left st. Petersburg for Wlerballen at
1 1-2 o'clock in the afternoon. For
three days previously he had taken up
his quarters at the Hotel de France.
He had been playing heavily. and on
the night before his intended depart.
ure tried to repair his losses. The re.
suit was that he contracted a very
large debt of honor, which he could
not possibly meet, and shot himself
mortalIy in order to save his honor,
the object which such a course is sup,
posed to attain.
