HAMLET, PRINCE OF DENMARK.
The Last in Mrs. Bellows's Readings from
Shakespeare.

ssIt has been truly said that only one
who feels Hamlet's strength should ven
ture to speak of Hamlet's weakness. For
that in spite of difficulties he still clings
to his terrible duty-letting it go for
time, but returning to it again, and in
the end accomplishing it-implles
strength"
Such an understanding of the charac-
ter, Mrs, Bellows showed i'll her reading
yesterday. Going back OF the sea OF
troubles in which he first appears, to
the witty, intellectual, meditative youth
from whom self-suficient father asked
no active service, when he loved Ophe-
LA, s'best, of most best" and attested it
with almost all the holy VOWS OF heav-
en- and before his fathers spirit revis-
tied the earth to rouse him, she found a
Hamlet worthy of love and sympathy,
and developed him bewildered and per-
picked, lost in thought where he should
have taken decisive action, showing all
the inconsistencies of an over sensitive
conscience, excitable, overstrained, but
not mad; loving Ophelia ''more than for
ty thousand brothers" Though setting
aside that love for his higher duty yet
stabbing her wicked father, finally strik-
in down the false king, snatching the
poison from his friend while faint in
death himself, and giving his ''dying
breath for Fortenbras" as savior of his
country.
To the purity and delicacy of Ophelia's
character, Mrs. Bellows's rendering gave
an irresistible charm; the revelation OF
her love for Hamlet through her confess
ion of his love for her, shown in the
heart-tones in which she breathed every
word the weight of despair without a
touch of rebuke with which she an
swered his II did not love you by Il
was the more deceived the hollow head
tone betraying the vacant mind, the way
ering mournful voicing of her aimless
lilittle speeches, the low, grooming of minor
snatches of ballads and songs.
The queen was in dull contrast with
this modest violet, but in the scene where
she strews flowers on Ophelia's grave
there was touch of true womanliness.
The kings concealment and betrayal OF
Hypocrisy was most cleverly done, one
almost believing in his feigned sincerity
in drinking to Hamlet, and the ''swoons
ing'' of the queen till Laertes' groan,
1.-THE king, the kings to blame.'
Perhaps the most impressing scene
was that between Laertes and Hamlet
over Ophelia's grave, when the brother
robbed by the Dane of both father and
beloved sister grapples with him, and
each reveals the true devotion of his
heart
A most delightful course of readings
brought to too early close, leaves quick
ened interest and pleasing anticipation
for another winter.

on this subject, realizing that there

as the COW, Gnside and outside. At

In last weeks issne under the caption
Of "Defer-entisl," we made a mistake
in stating that 1.-THE council had passed
a very good ordinance, etc. The facts
are that Mr.. Massey gave notice that
at some future meeting he would intro
duce such an ordinance, and simply
outlined what would be the general
provisions of the ordinance, we were
also in error 10 stating that the mayors
salary was fixed at $75 per month and
perqutsites in The shape Of fees, to be
paid by parties tried and condemned to
pay a fine for violation Of city ordi-
nances. This is intended to be a part
of the ordinance, notice Of which was
given by Mr.. Massey.
To this part of the proposed ordi-
nance, we with many others, are OPP
posed: that is, opposed to the allowing
Of the fees to the mayor and constables.
They are paid salary by the city, fully
Commensurate with the services rendered
and their time belongs to the city. For
the purpose of attaining the desired
object, it will be well enough to supply
the mayor with necessary blanks.
and where q party brought before the
mayor asks to have witnesses sum-
moned, have the summons to issue, the
constable serve them, and II the party
accused is found guilty and condemned
to pay a fine, then make him pay the
expenses of having his witnesses sum
moned, but have the costs paid into the
city treasury with the fines.

Street work.


We have many times noticed the
manner in which the street gang do
their work. 1t is an absolute waste of
money. When cleaning out the cutters.
instead of throwing the grass, weeds
and dirt into the middle of the street,
it is piled up along the edges of the
cutters, to wash back with the first rain,
or to form a leVee on each side of the
street, preventing the water from run
ming into the cutters, and forcing it to
run down the middle Of the street.
washing it out, or forming large pools
or mud holes. If it were not such an
expensive luxury, it would be refreshing
to look at these Knights Of the Spade
at work, and figure up how much it
costs the city to have the cutters levied
to prevent them from overfOwing their
banks.
We hope and confidently believe that
our new city council will Inaugurate a
new system of working the streets.
