Otis skinner.

1 Conspicuous among the stars tnls
 season is. Otis Skinner, ,one of the very best of our younger actors who has
 won his present position of distinc- 1 ti0n by long years of experience, as- siduous labor and high artistic en- deayors as the leading man in the companies of the greatest actors of
 the present decade. His associations
 with the companies of Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barrett, Mr. Augistin Daly and others, won for him an
 enviable popularity in all the leading
 cities of the country and his enter
 prise this year in pursuing his career
 at the head of his own company is q
 matter of noteworthy theatrical in- terest. He will make his first ap-
 pearance in this city at the Opera house Tuesday evening November N,
 when he will present a new comedy
 drama by Clyde Fitch, called His Grace de Grammont.
 Mr. Skinner is the son of Rev. Charles A. Skinner, a distinguished
 New England clergyman. He was
 born in Cambridge, Mass, in June, 1858. His father marked out acareer
 in the ministry for him, his grand father and great grandfather having been clergymen. After graduating | from high school, he spent year in the employ ofa large dry. goods com | mission house. An eventful visit to New York, when he saw The Hunch- back of Notre Dame at the old Lyceum Theater, now the Four | teenth Street Theater, turned the 1 bent of his mind toward acting and
 he began to spout" Shakespeare in- stead of performing his clerical duties | He organized dramatic societies and
 gave readings in his fathers church | and elsewhere in the neighborhood, tacking his own announcements to trees and fences. He secured his first
 professional engagement in 1877 at Woods Museum, Philadelphia, and at scarce more than a nominal sal ary, which was not always forth
 coming; he did all kinds of work the stage manager decreed. He played all lines of business" and quickly
 won way to recognition. His next season was in the stock company of
 the Walnut Street Theater, where he
 played with such stars as Barret, Me- Cullough, Janauschek, Mary Ander- son, John r. Raymond and others. l He made his first New York appear
 ance the following year with the Kiralfys at Niblo's in Entertainment. He subsequently, played short sea- son with Edwin Booth at Booths s
 Theater where he had his first note worthy metropolitan opportunity as Francois in Kichelieu. The fol lowing three seasons he was with
 Lawrence Barrett. In 1884 he be
 came associated with Augustine Daly's Company and remained " ith that manager five years. For the following two seasons he was with
 Margaret Mather, and more recently
 he was starred in conjunction with Modjeska, his last season being par l ticuIarly notable by maSterIy peE- Harm SSf 25

Amusements.

The Silver King, which interested large audience at the Capital Thea ter last night, is an exceptionally strong play and in the hands of a strong company it is m admirable attraction. The piece was produced with new and appropriate scenery, properties and effects. Mir. Carl A Haswin appears in the title role and his support is excellent. Nc attraction of the current season in Little Rock has been received with more sincere favor than this king o melo-dramas.

The Famous Traveisr Visits America
 by Special Invitation.
 NEW YORK. Nov. 9i.--Dr. Emil Ho- lub, the Austro-H Hungarian African traveller, has arrived in New York on the steamer Rhasttia. He comes to America at the invitation of the Smith sonian institute and the National Geo graphical society, and has brought with him large number of specimens of the fauno and flora of the dark continent, together with photographs and drawings of natives of the different tribes met with in his journey of 5000 miles through the northern, central and south central portions of the continent
 Dr. Holub went to Africa at the age of 25. During the period from 1872 to 1870 he penetrated the kingdoms of the Bechuana tribes and traversed great tract of country.
 In 1880 Dr. Holub returned to his na- tive country and was invited to Vienna and received by the emperor. He re- turned to Africa in 1887 and made a wider range. With his wife, six Aus trian officers, % black servants and l2o carriers, he pushed north from the Cape of Good Hope and after nearly two years travel he reached the far northern part of the Ma-Shukulumbo kingdom. His exploration was to prepare the way for the colonization by England of the northern territory belonging to the Ma Rutses, the Ma-Shukulumbos and Ma Tokas.
 The doctor speaks enthusiastically of his second and longest continuous expe- dition from 1888 to 1890. The most cen- tral point reached thea was the Franz Joseph range of mountains, being so named by Dr. Holub. Before his visit none but Arab ivory traders had ever been in the region.

We find the following item In the Cal
umet items of late number of the Min
ing Journal: C1
A. ID. Wilson, of this place, agent for
John GatelY & Co., is In trouble with the
village authorities at L'Anse. They de-
manded that he procure license, VIII icE
he, knowing his legal rights, refused to
do. 1t seems strange that in this age of
newspapers and supposed enlightenment
such things should happen. The right
OF agents to take orders has been con-
tested and decided times without num-
Der. No license can legally be demanded.
The authorities at L'Anse will save
trouble for themselves by looking UP the
law in the premises.
The person named had ne trouble
with the village authorities, so far as we
have been able to ascertain by inquiry,
but from his appearance while here, we
should Judge, he was in q mental condi-
tIon to imagine all sorts of things. Mr..
Wilson had better keep out Of the news
papers.
