Mr.. Creston Clarke. who will head the
company that will appear under Mr. Fori's
management a Albauah's on April in a
Hamlet in Philadelphia with great sue
cess. The Press Of that city thus speaks
of him in that character:
In Mr.. Ciarkes Hamlet the poetic is
paramount, and one of its charms is its
complete consistency. From the moment
when after the interview with his fathers
ghost ne informs Horatio of his intention
to feign madness until the final scene his
purpose is kept in full view, with a subtletv
or thought behind every move and action
and with a fexibility that comes of the
ripper experience since he first essayei the
role The version Of the play used is that
which was made for the late Edwin Booth
but Mr. Clarke in no respect initiates that
great ;mpersonation. Much of the reading
IS original, and the scene with OpheIia is
particularly well conceived. An exquisite
tenderness pervades his tones until he dis
covers that he is watched by the King and
PolGnlus, and then one can See that his
heart is breaking at his being compelled to
make the violent Outburst against her. In
the scene with the Queen he manirestS the
same power of repression. 1t was only too
plain that he was cruel only to be kind
and his eXultant cry, Is it the king? when
every one in the audience. The sOliloqlI!es
were admiralty delivered, with a nicely of
shading in the elocuton, though some ner-
vousness was apparent in the ambitious
young tragedian until the play was pretty
well advanced. AT the end of every act he
was called before the curtain. and there
were frequent outbursts of applause"

ton on the report of the committee was
taken: Resolved. That the citizens of Mount

present quite thickly settled, and in no por-
ton of the District during the past few

intention of Congress to grant a charter to
any new railroad company in the northwest

road be required 20 extend it's lines so as to
furnish accommodations to the above men

respectfully request your honorable body
that II such charters, or any of them, be
granted, the grantees be required to project
the roads or road so as to reach Mount

the most direct available route for any such
proposed road Is northward along the line of
18th street 10 Lowell or Park street, in
Mount Pleasant, and thence westward along
Lowell street to the Geological and National
parks
We further urge upon your honorable
body that, in order to insure TO the citizens
living In the above mentioned territory the
