that this was unjust. That his Hamlet was
in some respects like that Of Booth is true,
but it did not strike me that tho resent

nut rather the marx of q genius all tho more

Of the kind which contributed to the great
ness Of Booth. That may be called charl
table criticism, but do not intend it as
such. At any rate believe that young
Whitesidcs has great talent. | saw him in
other roles and after each performance I
came away with higher regard for his
abilities. don't wish 10 be understood
as saying that Walker Whitesides is destined
to bo tho successor Of Edwin Booth as the
leading American trag7dian, but II there
are any asplran;s 20 that distinction don't
think his chance for success is by any means
the smallest"
Louis Aldrich is ono OF the old-timo actors
who knew Booth before he became famous,
aud isfamilIar with the history Of his career,
as well as that OF other American trOgedians
who gained widespread celebrity. In his
opinion, Louis James is the actor best equip
ped to take first place as the exponent Of
Shakespearean drama or AZ an interpreter Of
any of tho great tragic roles. Louis
James, said Mr.. Aldrich, "is an actor Of the
very first rank. As a reader of Shakespeare
re is forceiul, always picturesque, and has a
voice full of resonance, and is never clam
orous. When he performs ShaGespearean
rola he does not seek to startle his audience
with modern meanings and sensational ef-
/ lects, but plays it within the safe lines Of
stage tradition That's how Shakespeare
should be played if the genius of the Bard OF
Avon is to be enjoyed in It's best aspect You
can't make tank drama Of Shakespeare,
The heart and soul OF Ms plays belong 10 the
| past, to the ago OF romance and 1t is an
artistic impossiblity to engrait with them
tho methods employed in modern drama.
When you attempt that you pollute that at
| mospnere which constitutes tho quiet charm
| OF Shakespeare. Boo,h knew this, and kept
/ the knowledge ever before him. Louis James
knows it, too, and is not afraid to defy the
| shallow critics who are ever ready to pitch
into what they call slavery to stage tradition.
Louis James is tragedian who has talen:
which if employed steadily in the acting Of
tragedy would make him worthy to be the
successor Of Edwin Booth. As it is, the
Shakespearean plays IN which he appears arc
never acted better in this country, so far as
the leading roles are coacorned. His Othello
is to my mind an ideal performance. Is there
much likelihood olhis becoming the successor
Of Booth? can only answer, that l believe
he has as good chance for it as any other
actor that know; and think l know them

THE GOLD KING.
A Nan Who For Thirty Years, Has Bean Search
ing for the Lest Gold Mines Of Eo1teguma.


Zone of the most remarkable characters
ever met, said Captain Burr, a gentleman
who has made and lost a number of fortunes
in western mines, twas The Gold King, as he
was called by those who had met him while
prospecting in the mountains OF New Mexico
and Arizona.
He was a tall, soldierly-looking man who
might be any age between sixty and ninety,
for his long hair and beard were white and
his brown face was scanned with innumera-
bic wrinkles He still carried himself like
soldier, and there was a sort OF dandyism in
his hunting dress and the ornamentation Of
his rife, such as one sees among the swell
caballeros Of Old Mexico.
This man was reticent, as TO his own past,
but he would talk freely and intelligently on
any other subject, Old prospectors knew
him when they first came to the mountains
generation before, and he looked as old then
as now. He always paid his way with gold
dust, of which he had always a large guam
tity about him; and it was believed he knew
more about the undeveloped, was going to
say undiscovered gold mines Of that land
than any living man.
His hobby was The Gold Caves OF Mon
tezuma. He claimed that when Mexico was
conquered by Cortes, silver was more valua-
ble than gold, the latter being very abundant.
There was an Aztec tradition that this gold
came from caves in the Sierra Madre Mount
tains the secret Of whose location perished
with the last native king.
This tradition is firmly believed in
among the old Mexicans, from whom the Gold
King learned H.
Il never saw more remarkable instance
Of fine life's being squsndered in hunting
phantom. About two years ago the old man
disappeared from the mountains, and it is
supposed he lies dead on some hill, with his
resting place unknown like that of Moses.
81 never took any stock in the tradition,
but there are thousands of people who do
not believe the old man was the victim Of a
dclusion."

contribute to want Of popularity, and the
interest that the people feel in him. The
Russians are not satisfied what tendencies
the young man evinces, whether he is liberal
or reactionary, There is much interest in
his ideas, and rumor springs up in such a
fertile field in luXuriant crop. He seems to
be a man Of peace, and has none Of the war

predecessors. His father has missed no op-
portunity ofputting him forward, by appoint
ing him President Of the Imperial Senate,

LONDON, Feb q, 1992. The giant ruler OF q
giant nation stands between Europe and
Anarchy. Alexander III, who towers head
and shoulders above his people, physically, is
looked upon as the last Of tho RomanofTs, that
giant race Of Anakim, whose grasp Is on the
throne Of nation twice rs large as Rome at
the height Of her power, and numbering now,
in its thinly populated and partially developed
state, ll2OO0,0O0 people. He has been very
i'll Of late, and in consequence there has been
great alarm, not only throughout the Empire,
but all through Europe as well. Who is to
succeed him, becomes q question Of great
moment, for the people of Europe, and may
become 80 for America, should the trade re-
lations grow stronger in the immediate
future. With the completion Of the great
Trans-S.borian railway, stretching almost
half way around tho globe with the establish
ment Of great port on the Pacific there will
developa new and strange commercial interest
in this much secluded nation. Shut off on
the west by two doors, the Baltic on the
north, ard the Black Sea entrance on the
south, either Of which can be closed by its
enemies, this immense nation will, in tho near
future have q great port on the Pacific. 1t
will become one Of tho great commercial cit

running to Vancouver, San Francisco, Panama

Who Will succeed Edwin Eooth as the lead
tng American traGodian? A question easily
asked, but one which the caprice OF public
favor and the Gcklo fortune of the stage ron-
der exceedingly difficult to answer. Upon
the dramatic horizon many stars are rising,
but which Of them will achieve the place OF
first magnitude is problem that only tue
future can solve. In the meantime, there is
no lack Of prophecy on the subject, or at
least, speculation. Perhaps no question IS
fraught with greater interest for the American
theatre-goer, and intelligent opinions thereon
are in order. A number OF such opinions
have been obtained, and while they do not
raise the question beyond the realm Of strong
probability, arc none the less worthy OF at

which they eranate.

pecunary point Of view, The fact is, the
present day school Of acting is not calculated
to develop talents Of the tragic order. l
don't mean by this, that tho American stage
is without actors we'll fitted to achieve re-
nown as tragedians, bat the conditions
hardly exist now which brought into promi-

however, is tho trite, but mono the less true

and SO long as his plays remain dear to the
public the possibility always remains that
there may appear some American actor who
will interpret them in a manner to command
international fame At present, though, there
seems to be- no American actor who can bo
said to be even striving for such an object.
There are a number, however, who might

would seem we'll n.gn impossible for any
actor to i'll the vacancy upon the American
stage caused by the death Of Booth, Mr..
Mansfield might, by identifying himself with
the acting OF trlgc roles reach degree Of
popularity analogous to that enjoyed for so
many years by Edwin Booth ..
