ALEXANDER SAL
VIM DEAD.
The Well Known Actor Ex-
pires at Florence, Italy.

Florence, Italy, Dec. 15.-
Alexander Salvini, the son of
Tomaso Salvini, the great Ital-
ian actor, is dead.
Alexander Salvini was born
in Rome on Dec. 81, 1861. He
was the son of the Italian ira
gedian; Tomaso Salvini. and
went to school in Naples, Flo
renee and Genoa. 1t was in
tended that he should become
a civil engineer, and in 1881
he came to the United Stares
for that purpose with Carlos
Chizzola, who was manager of
Rossi's American tour. But,
instead of looking for a place
to develop his engineering abil
tiles, young Salvini travelled
with the Rossi company, and
afterward settled in New York
to study English in order to be
able to use that language on
the stage. His first appearance
was at the Union Square thea
ter in New York in Clara Nor
rs company, and he afterward
spent two seasons with Mar
garet Mather, playing Romeo,
Orlando. Rudolph, in Leah,
Claude Melnotte and Stafford
in The Hunchback y
In 1886 A. NJ. Palmer en-
gagged young Salvini for his
Madison Square Theater COM
pany. After three seasons at
the Madison Square theater,
Salvini again joined his father
in a tour of the United States,
and after the latter returned to
Europe young Salvini began
starring tour in America. For
some time past young Salvini
has been seriously i'll at Monte
Catania, the home of the elder
Salvini, near Florence, Italy.

THE FORESTRY SOCIETY,
Iand-The Matter Referred to the Board
of Trade.

In the Mayors room yesterday after
noon Mayor Baxter, Hon. George T. Tai
bot, Secretary N. NJ. Rich of the board of
trade and Park Commissioner Smith
held meeting to consider the question
of having the American Forestry Assooi-
alton hold it's annual meeting in this
city.
The meeting was called at the instance
of Hon. George T. Talbot who is mem
Der of the society.
Mr.. Talbot said that he attended last
year as the delegate from Maine and at
the request of Land Commissioner Oak,
annual meeting of the Forestry Associa-
ton at Springfield. He had also attended
previous meeting at Quebec several
years ago at the REQUEST of Gov. Burleigh.
at the last meeting he had extended to
the society an invitation to meet in Port
land this year, with the cordial approba-
ton Of Gov. Cleaves md Mayor Baxter.
At that meeting there were not more
than 20 people present at any time This
was because the annual meeting of the
Society Tor the Advancement of Science
was held at the same time acc ording to
custom. This year the Forestry Society
has decided to hold its meetings indie
pendent of the science society. Mr..
Talbot said in regard to the purposad
meeting here that he didn't expect q
large attendance from abroad but there
will be some Of the officers who are ex-
perts on forestry and they will arrange
for series Of papers ON the subject.
Mr.. Rich spoke strongly in favor OF
urging that the meeting be held here and
suggested that it ia hoped to have the
state board Of trade meet here in Septem-
Der and that that would be good time
for the Forestry Suoiety to como here.
It was decided that Mayor Baxter
should request the board of trade to dis
nuss the matter at its meeting next
Thursday and appoint committee to
join with committee of Others specially
appointed to further discuss the matter
and decide what course is best to pursue.

FIRE AT WESTBR0OK.
Ten Thousand Dollar Blaze Early This
Morning.

Carriage Repair of Howard Waterhouse
Destroyed-BuiIding aud Contents a
Total Loss-No Insurance on Either.
The Westbrook fire department was
called out this morning by an alarm
which rang in at about 1.25.
The fire was in the carriage repair shop
of Howard Waterhouse on the old Gorham
road at the foot of Conant hill just out
side Of the city.
The department got out promptly after
the alarm was sounded but the fire was
under such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to save it. The building and its
contents were entirely destroyed
The fire was discovered by the night
building nearest the structure and when
seen by him it was in blaze of light.
The shop is not near any other building
SO there was no danger that the fire
would spread. Mr.. Waterhouseshad no in
surance on the place AMI the principal
loss to him was on his tools and patterns,
which were valued at 81, 000
The shop was fitted up finely in this re-
spect being said to be one of the best in
the state of It's size.
Mr.. Waterhouse manufactures steam
heaters and there are five or six of them
in the building worth $500.
Besides this he had just completed for
his own use q small steam launch which
had cost him $3.50.
The building was not valuable one
and is estimated to have been worth
about $3.50.
After the building had burned down a
second alarm was run in but it proved to
have boon caused not by another blaze
but by someone who supposed they were
ringing out.
