Amusenents.

when Edwin Booth died, Hamlet
we'll nigh died with him; and it was a
venturesome man who would aspire to
fill the empty place. So, therefore,
when young man has the courage to
essay the role, in the face of all these
difficulties, his daring pluck is worthy
OF admiration. When he is so surpris-
ingly successful that he carries an in
telligent and discriminating audience
to enthusiasm in a day when classic
tragedy is severely at discount, the
admiration grows to most pleasant
wonder at the marvel of it all. James
Young, who presented the play at
Cooks last night, is but little more than
boy with not tenth nor twentieth
of the experience of those older who
are yet hesitating about their ability
and courage to play the character. Yet
Mr.. Young's Hamlet is as admira BILE q

the days of the great master. ."-Roches.

A noble house greeted Mr.. Thoma,
Keene Wednesday evening in Richard
III. Tie intensely gloomy tragedy
was splendidly put on, and was pre-.
sented by company of players such
as one seldom sees in towns of oul
class, in theatrical sense. Mr.. Keene,
as the miserable, conniving cripple,
put such strength into the character as
to cause the audience to despse the
villain who held life at so low figure
and everyone was glad when the wretch
was safely dead.
All the leading parts were we'll taken,
and the scenery and costuming were
very fine and complete in every par
ticular.

the trouble and that there
is no need to bother with medicine" Both
are wrong. Consumption Is the most deadly
of diseases but it is distinctly curable. It
has its inception, like all other wasting dis
eases, in disorders of the digestive organs,
and the first step towards its cure must be
the relief of these disorders.
Ninety-eight per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Thousands of con-
sumptives have testified to their complete
and permanent recovery through its use,
after they were given up by the doctors and
all hope was gone. 1t corrects all disorders
of the digestion, makes assimilation perfect,
fills the blood with the fe-giving elements
that build up new, firm and healthy tissues,
and acting directly upon the lungs drives
out all disease-germs. 1t is a specific for
all lingering, bronchial, throat and lung
affections.

Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti, June 19.-
The collier Alexander, Commander
Burwell, from Hampton Roads, arrived
here at o'clock this morning. The
only notable incident on her way down
was the overhaultng of a Norwegian
steamer, the name of which had been
painted out. The officers of the Alex
ander suspected that she was a Span
lard and Commander Burwell sent a
lieutenant to board her. One of the
Alexander's boats was capsized in the
rough sea and lost, but the men in the
boat who We're tumbled into the wa
ter were rescued. The papers of the
Norwegian were found to be regular
and she was allowed to proceed,
During the excitement of speaking
her Commander Burwell's son Willie,
fifteen years old, who is said to be the
youngest volunteer in the navy, re-
peatedly exclaimed to his father "Oh.
l do hope it is a Spaniard." The en-
tire crew of the Alexander was spoil
ing for fight, but if Willie's wish had
been fulfilled it would probably have
taken only few minutes to capture
them, as the whole of the ships armo-
ment consisted of two three-inch guns.

London, June 20.-The Madrid CORE

attach little Importance to the rumors
of German interference. Questioned
privately with reference to the reported
remark of the captain of the German
warship Irene at a champagne lunch
con with his staff of officers in the Phil
ippines few days ago to the effect
that the Americans would never annex
the Philippines while William remains
emperor Senior Sagasta made the sem
sible remark that German officers do
not make publicly such rude statements
and that the German government. when
it wishes to revail it's intentions, will
choose other channels. The best in
formed people here believe that during
hostilities Germany will maintain a
perfectly correct and neutral attitude;
but that so soon as there is any change
in the political status quo of the archi-
pelago proposed she will insist upon
obtaining a coaling station, as compen-
sation for the disturbance Of the politi-
cal equilibrium of the far east.
