'The Strange Adventures of Miss

successes, will be at the Metropolitan
opera mouse for an engagement of
three nights, commencing Sunday,
March To- following the Francis VIII
son company, the attraction having
just been booked by Manager Scott in
New York. The principal part in this
comedy is played by Eddie Foy. This
comedy has been run in London for
the past two years, and was produced
in New York last September, at the
Standard theater, where it played 150
consecutive nights.
Harry Elmer, one of William A.
Brady's ablest lieutenants, arrived in
the city, yesterday, ahead of THE

Manager Scott wires from New York
that he has booked Loie Fuller, the
greatest sensation of the season, and
that she will appear at the Metropolitan
opera house within a short time. The
dates for this and other big attractions
will be announced on Mr.. Scott's re-
turn from the East.
A. M. Palmer's company will give
their farewell performance of "Trilby'
at the Metropolitan opera house to-
night. This will be the last oppor-
tunity Of witnessing this greatest of
modern dramas in this city, and those
who have not already seen "Trilby"
will undoubtedly regret having missed
this powerful play. The play and COM
pany have scored even greater success
than when here last fall and the
charming and artistic performance of
Miss Amber in the title role has .es-
pecially delighted local theater-goers.

WASHINGTON, March DIR. Sal.
mon, chief of the bureau of animal I'M
dustry of the agricultural department.
is In receipt Of advices from Dr. Wrayi
relating to the transportation of live
cattle from Australia to Great Britain
The recent remarks of Walter Long.
in the house of commons, in reference
to imported cattle. have awakened
some discussion on the subject i'll Brit
lsh journals, and attention has been
specifically directed as a result to the
different conditions under which the
American and the Australian cattle are
shipped. The fact that the cattle trade
from the United States to Great Brit
ain is carried on in specially built and
lifted steamers, and that the bullocks
shipped are not wild, like those from
Australia, but quiet and accustomed to
being handled, and the very insignifi-
cant mortality as the result of these
conditions, is commented upon in q
manner both creditable and encourage
ing to American shippers. These con-
d1tions are compared to those which
obtain with cattle shipped from Aus
traha, which, UP to the time of their
Shipment have been used to freedom
and green food. The case is cited on
the steamer Anglers, which arrived in
Depford last month after a seventy
nine days voyage with a loss of nines
tenths of its cattle cargo.

considerable alarm in high places. Dr..
Stoecker contrived for long time to sit on
the renee but he has at last been compelled
to choose between severing his Connection
with the Conservative party and repudiating5
the Christian Socialists. He declined TO give
the assurances required from him. and had
in consequence to withdraw his name from
the executive committee of the Conservative
party. The breach must now be looked upon
as 1rreparable, and it remains to be seen how
much he will be able to retain as a free
lance of the influence and the popularity
which he achieved as one of the official leadl
ers OF an important parliamentary party.

Gentleman's Magazine.
An amusing story is told of an English Of
1cer who determined to enter Chinese Tibet
by stratagem. He managed to cross the 'front.'
Ter at night, and escaped the guard
On the following day. however, while the
officer was journeying deeper into Tibet, the
Tibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed
him that as the country was unsafe because
of robbers, they would go with him in order
to protect him; to which arrangement the
traveller was compelled TO agree. In a few
hours they came to river, which was crossed
by rope bridge.
The Tibetans passed over first, in order to
show that the bridge was safe, and then the
officer got into the moose and was pulled along
by the Tibetans. Suddenly however, they
ceased pulling and left the Englishman hang
ing in mid-air above the rushing torrent.
In vain the officer shouted to the Tibetans
to pull; they merely smoked and nodded their
heads. Three hours passed and still the of
ficer hung above the torrent. At last the IT,
betans agreed to pull him back if he would
leave Tibet Immediately. This. of course, he
was compelled to do, and took his departure
from the forbidden land.

salaried and most pleasing vaudeville
organizations in the country.
The attraction is headed by those
famous quadrupeds, Lockhart's Won
derful performing elephants. These
huge beasts have created a sensation
for the past six months at Roster &,
Balls music hall, New York city, and
come direct to this city from an en-
gagement in Cincinnati. They are tru-
ly a remarkable group, consisting of
five of the best traihed animals ever
brought to this country. Their enter
tainment is varied one, and consists
of tricks and feats, the like of which
has never before been seen in any
country, according to the metropolitan
press. Every one has seen ordinary
trained elephants with circuses, but
those beasts should not be confused
with Prof. Lockhart's elephants, which
he has been training for twenty-five
years. None of the animals are small,
the most diminutive being over seven
feet in height and weighing over two
tons, vet with all their avoirdupois
they are as nimble as the trained dog,
and far more intelligent than any other
animal. Their performance should
please all classes of people.
In addition to this feature, Lockhart's
American and European vaudevilles
comprise such artists as the Dare
brothers, horizontal bar experts; Miss
Alice Raymond, celebrated throughout
the Eastern country as the best lady
cornet soloist in America: Leroy &
Clayton, Tony Pastors talented COM

ter vocalist and change artist: the

legitimate ambition of conserving the
traditions of his family in the realm
of tragedy
Hamlet was written in 1901, ana
since that time the play, or rather the
character, has been a constant theme
for psychological discussion among
scholars and critics, and there is still
Just as much difference of opinion as
to what the great poet meant his hero
to be- That this endless discussion
should be given fresh impetus by
an actor of Salvinis standing, who, by
studious effort has attracted q large
following, might be expected. The gen
eral play going public, however, is not
particularly interested in these hair
splitting arguments. 1t is the great
dramatic interest the tragedy possesses
as we'll as it's philosophy that has made
it the most popular OF Shakespeare's
plays. Salvini, with his exceptional
ability as a stage manager and his in
fluencc over the players who support
him, should bring the purely dramatic
elements of the play into bold relief,
and the performance must necessarily
be an intensely interesting one. If
Mr.. Salvini, with his fervor and ear
nestnesS, can Undue the Royal Dane
with life and naturalness, an ability
he has shown here on more than one
occasion, the commentator one hears
Of his Hamlet is easily explained. AS
q production it is generally conceded
to be the most complete and artistic
that Hamlet has ever had on tour,
and it has added greatly to Salvini's
reputation as a stage manager and
producer. His appreciation Of the
value of scenic illusion and artistic de-
tail is no less than that of Henry
Irving, whose methods Salvini has al
ways striven to emulate.
Salvini's debut here as Hamlet will
not prevent his appearance in his ia
yorite and familiar roles of D'Artagnan
in 1.-The Three Guardsmen," and Don
Caesar" The former he is to present
on Tuesday and the latter on Wednes-
day evenings. There may not be an
other opportunity of seeing him again
in these plays, as Manager Wilkin,
son announces that Mr.. Salvini's fut-
ure plans lie almost exclusively in the
direction of tragedy. The prominent
names in the supporting cast are Miss
adelaide Fitz Allen, Albert Bruning
j. M. Francoeur, Norman Conniers, Ed.
mund Day, Augusta de Forrest ant
Miss Lulu Klein.
