RUDOLPH NEUMANN.
Death of "A Widely Known Pioneer of
Alaska.

Rudolph Neumann, Alaskan pioneer,
prince among Bohemians, and for
more than a quarter of century an
officer of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, is dead. He was killed October
10th, by falling down shaft of the
Apollo mine, at Unga, near Unalaska.
Mr.. Neuman was nephew of Paul
Neumann of this city. The funeral
was held in San Francisco November
3rd. The interment was at Cypress
Lawn cemetery.
The Examiner says of him: Rudolph
Neuman was perhaps the most widely
known of the pioneers of the Yukon
country. Born i'm Germany fifty-three
years ago, he came to this state when
Il young man of twenty-one years old,
and entered the employ of the Alaska
Commercial Company. In 1873 he was
sent to st. Michael as the agent of the
company. ST. Michael at that time
was rarely visited by vessels. and it
was five years before he could get out
He was then appointed general of the
company for all Alaska. with head
quarters at Unalaska. which position
he held ever since, spending the sum-
mers in Alaska and generally coming
to San Francisco for the winter.
In the course of his score of years
service at Unalaska, Neumann visited
nearly every post in the territory.
With the lavish liberality which made
him prince of good fellows among
San Francisco Bohemians, he enter
tanned visitors by the score NJ his res
idence in Unalaslla. His popularity
as a host was only equalled by the
/ high esteem in which he was held by
the officers of the Alaska Commercial
/ Company. President Louis Sloss
mourns Neumann's untimely taking
off as though he were Il member of his
own family.

As the Pastor, Herbert Carr had a

has right to their own reading, and
because mine may not agree with that
of others, they need not necessarily
be wrong. | think that Sudermann
meant the Pastor to be the dominat-
ing character; Carr subordinated him
to the Colonel. But having taken that
view, Mr.. Carr unquestionably played
his character thoroughly well. | have
seen him many times now and | think
him a very able actor.
Of the minor parts of the cast there
is not much to say. They are clear
cut and good but are completely
the background for the three princi-
pals. George 5. Trimble at the com-
mencement was thought too sub

resses would have exaggerated, and
Mrs Horace McNicker portrayed the

The whole performance was thor
