AT THE TBEATER.
Alexander snivini's Presentation OF
"Hamlet, Last Might.

Almost all actors who have achieved
great prominence, and still larger
number who never aci Q ed promin-
ence have essayed to play Hamlet at
some stage or other OF their careers.
Interpretations Of every character have
been given TO the part of the melan-
choly prince till II seemed that nothing
new could be evolved, but II remained
for Alexander Salvinl to create for 1t
an entirely new and different Inter-
probation from any attempted before.
HIS conception Is strong, rather than
scholarly. forcible rather than finished.
At times he evinces disposition TO
rant and saw the air." contrary to the
advice of Hamlet to the players. but in
other scenes he presents quiet and
melancholy demeanor eminently fitted
to the varying moods of the poor mad
prince. some OF his work beyond ques-
tion bears the stamp of a master. That
his dehneation of the role was appre-
cnlted was shown w the fact that he
received more curtain calls than any
other acto- who has appeared In Fort
Worth this season. More than onre
he was interrupted In the midst of Il
scene by the plaudlts OF the audience
His fencing with Laertes displayed to
great advantage the splendid swords
manship for which Salvini has won
such n reputation. He has almost lost
the brogue which once characterized his
speech. and his enunciation is generally
clear and distinct. Though his Hamlet
Is a departure from the beaten track It
was highly pleasing to the audience,
and that after all is the main thing
to be considered by the actor. Tne
scenery and stage settings for the piece
are magnificent. No other company
which has appeared here In SHAKESPEARE
can plays has equalled Salvinis troup,
in point of stage equipment. The seem
cry alone Is n strong attraction for the
play outside OF the intrinsic merit OF
the performance, The play was. 10 use
a stage expression. "cut" somewhat. hut
the essential features were preserved.
Salvini this year Is fortunate In hav-
ing n very strong support. Norman
Connler as King C,audius. Augusta De-
Forrest as Queen Gertrude ana Adc-
laide Fitz Allen AS Ophella left lit.ls to
be des' red In the rendition Of their l.nrts
and the balance of the cast was IN the
main very fair
Tonight salvlni win appear in "The
Three Guarlsnien,' which Is his mas
terpiece. The scenery for The play Ia
said to be splendid. and the Costumes
elaborate The public may cXp."t n
thoroughly finished performance BY n
talented actor supported by sood
company.

STEAMBOAT SINKS
FOUR PERSONS SUPPOSED TO Bp
DROWNED.
A Hole Made In the boats Hull by
Barge the Cause OF the
Disaster.

st. Louis. No.. Jan. ia special to
the Republic from Charlottesville, Mo-.
says that as the result OF the sinking
OF the steamer Congo In the Mississippi
river last night four persons are miss
Ing and are supposed to have been
drowned. Two others were injured. but
not seriously:
The missing:
A barber. the ash hnuler and two
roustabouts, whose names are un-
known.
Injured:
James Haines.
p. j. Brothers, Clay City, III.
Last evening at II O'Clock the Congo
Collar line boat, landed at this place,
discharged some freight and took
aboard eleven head OF hogs with other
freight. When starting TO go back out
there was a brisk wind. which swung
the boat down stream, causing her to
strike a barge, loaded, at the bridge
landing. A hole was torn In her hull.
The water rushed in rapidly. and In
less than ten minutes the boat had
gone TO the bottom. She sank about a
quarter of mile below the city. the
water reaching to her twin boilers so
rapidly that there was no time to blow
the distress signal. But for the timely
arrival OF the tug kimmle OF THIS CITY,
and the fact that barge was close at
hand, the loss OF life would have been
larger than 1t was. Many of the pas
sengers were picked up more dead than
alive, but prompt attention and the
administration Of restoratives soon re-
stored them.
The boat was in charge of Captain
C. b. Church, and to, his remarkable
self-possesslon several of the passen-
gers OF the Inflated steamer owe their
lives. j. T. Carroll was at the wheel.
The engineer barely escaped with his
life. the engine room filled so rapidly
with water that he had no time 10
reverse his engine or run the boat Ia
the shore. The steamer IL supposed to
be a total loss. She had a valuable
cargo on board.
