at the Newmarket theater to large au-
dience. and one sufficiently enthusiastic
to betraY its appreciativeness of the ex-
'ce!lence of Salvini's Interpretation.
SCR. Salylni has not visited st.
Paul for several years, though that
he is remembered was evidenced
by the applause which greeted him.
In the opening scene in his appearance
before the lsraelites, his story of the
Strength given him by the powers
the only regret felt by those of the au-
sdience who had no knowledge of ltal-
ian being that he spoke in that lam
guage instead of English. In his deli
ance of the Philistine hosts whose
vengence had wreaked itself upon his
wife and belongings, his seorn, rage
and defiance were each a revelation,
and the applause which greeted
fthe close Of the second act was tumult-
uous. Miss Brooklyn, as Deiilah. did
excellent work and showed a thorough
lection of the offerings of the Phiis-
tines, sent in gratitude for the betray-
al of Sampson. she was very fine, aud
was equally effective in her remorse for
the weakness which had betrayed her
lover. Micah, whose son had fallen by
the hand OF the slayer of PhiliStlnes. is
part giving opportunities for effective
work. and the actress makes the most
of il. In his awakening from the
drunken stupOr into which he had been
lured by Drlilah. to find himself sur
rounded by PhiliStines, Salvini's denun-
citation of the woman who had worked
his destruction is extremely powerful,
and in this scene, also. Miss Brooklyn
achieves her greatest triumph. he
character of the old man, Sam
sons father. is part repete
with opportunity, Of which the
actor takes full advantage. His recital
of the dragging OF Samson through the
streets by the enraged PhiliStineS, the
putting out of his eyes with red-lot
needles, is a truthful picture of grief
stricken aye and helpleSSneSS. The
last act, ia which SamsOn'S strength re-
his enemies about their ears. is
surprise in the way of scenic
management, which would scarcely
have seemed possible with such linn
tied stage. 1t seems highly probable
that this may be Sgr. Salyini'S last
American tour, and the opportunity on
Wednesday evening in ''1he Outlaw
will perhaps be the last to offer. This
evening Alexander Salyini, son of the
tragedian. will be seen in d new play
written especially for him by Horace
Townsend, entitled "a Child of Naples"
In this production he will be assisted by
the members of his fathers company.
The sale for the Zig-Zag entertain
ment. which is to be at the Newmarket
the last three days of the week. will
begin at 9 O'Clock this morning.
The lnlmitable pair are coming again
to st. Paul, and will be at the Peoples
church to-night-Bill Nye with his stock
of drol1 yarrS, and James Whitcomb
Riley, his side partner, with his dialect
poems that so touch the heart. Proba-
bly no humOrist, unless it be that old
veteran, Mark Twain, has reaped such
a big financial reward as Nye. Mai.
Pond, his New York manager, is credited
with saying Nye is banking about
$1,000 a week as his share of the re-
ceipts. Crowded houses have met and
laughed with the pair everywhere
laughed till threatened W tn pieuriSy
and leckjaw-and the sale of tickets at
Dyer's indicates an Overlooking house
to greet them at the Peoples church to-
night.

the play did not move as smoothly as
was expected.
The Nellie Raymond combination,

for week, will he seen here no more
The organization opened last night, but

Manager Wells appeared upon the
stage, stated that he had been imposed
upon and rang down the curtain. Mr..
Wells announces very complete pro-
gramme for the rest of the week. Dem
ME Killen and Dick Moore, the clever
boxers, wall appear each evening in
four-rOund contest. The Sherwood
sisters will give a vocal duo;
Lands and Lands will appear ir nov
elites, Milt G. Barlow and Lily Hall
will give sketch, II. c. de Lorimer
will give female impersonatiOn, AL II.
Wilson will essay his character changes
and Campbell and Moore will appear in
a black-face song and dance. Miss
Charlotte Layerne will also take part.
There will be an entirely new first part.
a new comedy for the finish, and the
whole will be up to the usual standard.
