Mr.. Young as Hamlet

The young and talented James
Young, supported by good company,
played Hamlet Saturday night in the
Opera House. Mr.. Young who took
the leading role in the character OF
Hamlet, did his part splendid. In
fact it is a question as to whether
America has ever produced but one
man that was his equal at his age as a
tragedian. This may be saying much
but it is easier for those who have
never seen him to believe to the con
trary than it is for any to prove to the
contrary. His Interpretation of the
character of Hamlet is almost fault
less. His recitation is clear, distinct,
and forcible, varying to suit every
grade of feeling. He captured his
audience completely. AS far as car
be seen, Mr.. Young has brilliant
future ahead Of him, There can be
no question about the fact that he Il
young man of unusual mental force
and is in full possession of the fi.-im
plements to carve his way to the from
rank in his profession. Mr.. YounI
will appear at Bloomsbury Oper
House Friday February 9th.

X-OOUNTY TREASURER KLINE.

The Bloomsburg Daily Of Monday
contains an article headed "The Great
Expose" in which it charges that
John L. Kline, whose term of Office
as county treasurer expired the first of
this year, has retained, and now has a
sum of money exceeding two thous-
and dollars, which he should have paid
over to the county, and it gives figures
which, it claims, proves the charges.
the allegation is direct and positive,
and it must be answered in some way.
If it be true, it may have arisen by a
mistake in figures, for the county
statement in some parts is kept in
such shape that no one but an expert
can figure it out, and this seems to be
one Of the places. John L. Kline is
a thoroughly honest man, and it will
be hard to make the public believe
that he would wilfully and unlawfully
defraud the county out of money, at
least such is our belief. If true, Mr.
Kline will no doubt pay over the
amount ascertained in a proper way
to be due from him, if the county au
ditors have made a mistake.

Amusements.

James Young, an actor new to
Youngstown and for that matter new
to the amusement loving public gener-
ally, appeared at the Opera House
last evening in "Hamlet," Mr.. Young
assuming the character Of the melan-
choly Dane. He is young man, not
out Of his teens, but he possesses rare
native histrionic ability which is sure to
be developed and cultivated until he
stands on the same plane with those
noble stars of the past. Nature has
been kind to Mr.. Young in giving him
a pleasing and mobile face, good
figure and wonderful voice. These
he uses to advantage. In the play
last evening Mr.. Young demonstrated
most conclusively to the good sized
audience that he possessed great talent
and ability. He reads his lines in an
almost faultless manner, his facial ex-
preston is splendid, and his general
stage department merits only the high
est. 1t would be unfair to Mr.. Young
to compare his impersonation with
that of either Mr.. Booth or Mr.. Bar
relt, who are now considered the great
est delineators of the character among
modern actors. We remember the
character as played by those men after
they had had years of training in stage
craft and dramatic work Mr.. Young
is youthful in years, as well as in al
pertaining to the stage. With moderr
actors who essay the character, and o
whom, perhaps, Lawrence Hanley i
the leader and Mr.. Young's imperson
sonation will gain by a comparison
His company is vastly inferior to him

THE TOWN ELECTION.

Some weeks ago the question was
raised as to whether the Town OF
Bloomsbury was affected by the act OF
1903, providing for the election of a
Burgess in boroughs The opinion OF
Hon. c. r. Buckalew was asked for
by us, and this is his opinion in brief:
Bloomsburg is both a town and
township, as Philadelphia is both a
city and county. 1t includes town
and township territory, and by the ex-
press language of its charter possesses
in addition to the organization and
powers of township, town organl-
zation and government pursuant to
that charter. 1t is not a borough In
name, form or character. In name it
is town, in territorial form a town
ship, in character an incorporated dis
trict, with municipal powers suited to
its situation and needs, but in many
important respects, essentially differ
ent from those of a borough. 1t has
no wards or ward Offices no chief or
assistant Burgess no enlarged board
of school directors, consequent upon
ward divisions, and it includes an en-.
tire township, with farm lands and
out settlements, which could not be
included in borough limit, consequent
ly the act relating to boroughs, or
rather to borough officers, passed at
the last session of the Legislature
(2sd May, 1893, P. Laws, II3) can
have no application to Bloomsbury.

LUNAOY OF MARGARET WEAVER.

On Monday of last week hearing
was held before w. a. Evert Esq,
commissioner appointed by the court,
and six jurors, to inquire into the
lunacy of Margaret Weaver, Of Blooms
burg. The jurors we're William Kra-
mer, c. H. Campbell, r Rush Zarr,
Esq, ID. r. Coffman, M. E. Cox and
John Cadman, and the proceedings
were instituted by. Mrs. Phoebe ].
Adams, of Aledo, Illinois, a sister of
the lunatic, for the purpose of having
committee appointed to take charge
OF her estate.
In 1884, Margaret Weaver was first
committed to the Asylum for the In
sane at Danville, and was soon after
removed from there, having gone only
as private patient. In 1886, her
condition again became worse, and a
commission of three persons was APP
pointed by the court, on petition of
residents of Market street, to ascer-
tain whether she was fit person to
be restrained. The commission found
that she was, and the court committed
her to the Hospital at Danville. In
1888, she was permitted to come
home, but was soon after recommitted
by the court, and has remained there
ever since. Her age is about sixty
years, and her disease is incurable,
though her physical health is good.
She is possessed of several thousand
dollars worth of property, and it is
necessary for some per.on to look
after it. These facts were found by
the commission, and the report was
made accordingly by Commissioners
Evert on Monday last. A committee
to take charge of the estate will be
appointed by the court.

followed with prayer another select

work was all done by money subscrib
ed by the citizens of Bloomsburg, that
the demands were increasing and this
year the association would ask for
more liberal contribution, and hoped
to have the subscriptions on a per
manent basis. They expected to have
an Evangelist here about the middle
of March, who would work at the
shops lin company with the choir with
the hope of enlisting the attention o.
more of the workmen--it will be
MONDAY evangelistic work. The Presi
dent urged the need Of an association
building, and hoped soon to see one
built. The Treasurer, w. H. Brewer

The New Castle Daily Courant of
January 18th says o, James Young
who will appear at the Opera House
this Friday evening;
Mr.. Young's Hamlet is almost
faultless. Indeed IN movement, atti
tude and expression it is doubtful 1t
he has ever been excelled.
With the experience that comes
with years, older tragedians have
failed to create SO good an impression,
and they must look well to their laur'
els in the presence Of this young ac-
tor who seems to have been parlicu
larly fitted by nature to impersonate
the immortal characters OF Shakes
peare. We bespeak for him a wonder
| full success and feel certain that ne
will attain it.
