 Skagusy Alaska, Dec. 30--Four months of American enterprise has placed at the head waters of the Lynn canal city with a population of nearly 4,c00 souls and scarcely a week passes without adding from 100 to 200 more argonauts, all bent on the same purpose-the accumulation of gold.
 Some will engage in business here, while the vast majority will push onward at the first fall of snow to country the greater part of which is unknown, and many or these poor adyenturers will never again be- hold the light of civilization.

 Seven councilmen have been elected by the people to exercise their judgment for the welfare of the city and steps have been taken to open a public school.

Play-goers who incline to the seriously ar tistic are waiting the coming of the Bos- tonians tomorrow night. It is to be hoped that they will put on a better performance of "The Serenade'' than was their Robin Hood' of last season. I do not intend to ruthlessly condemn the Robin Hood" that the Bostonians gave our play-goers. Far from it. But do say that the Bostonians did not put forth their best efforts at their engagement here last winter. There were a great number of serious artistic bleh- ishes The understudies that were put off on the audience did not inspire a reviewer to any great amount of enthusiasm Un- derstudies are acceptable in extreme cases. But was it an absolute necessity last sea son that Jessie Bartlett Davis understudy should have been so in evidence? As I re- call now, Jessie Bartlett Davis appeared only once during the performance, her understudy playing a greater part of the role Some one ought to write play and call it 'Too Much Understndy."

The inevitable IS sometimes a belated train, hurrying 10 hotels or perhaps direct to the theater' cursory glance at the bearings of the stage and a lightning performance brought to close in time for the next train. The com panies that play one night stands have a great deal to contend v'ith. But the public regards this routine in the most triv- ial light. It is none of their funeral. All that it asks is to be excused from too many understudies. If it goes in for opera, it wants the performance worthy of the name of opera. Robin Hood'' last season gave at times the impression that it might be a. frivilous rehearsal. It was like broken melody. I repeat that the performance last year of the Bostonians did not meet the requirements of cultured audience.

Sarah Bernhardt is again the talk of all Paris. Forsaking Sardan, she is appearing in an anarchist play. She is solving question of socialism. The climaxes in the drama are said to produce spasms of fright and frenzy in the audience. Bernhardt in the role of Madeleine, factory girl, in- cites the men to strike. The factory is burned and a fierce battle is fought. Mad eleine is fatally wounded and dies upon a bench in the street The death scene Is described as hideous, as Bernhardt alone knows how to make it.

 When Bernhardt dies, she dies. She has gone to the hospital and the morgue of Paris and studied death. In this death scene she is said to put her hand to her head and withdraw it reekng with her own life blood The life stream triclSes from a wound in her temple. She is soaked with the red horror Around her are the blaz- ing buildings, tho stretcherf and the semi imbecile figure of her old father, who chatters unconsciously and looks at her with meaningless eyes. She cannot live. She rises, wild-eyed, in a bewildering ef- fort to capture life. Then, she falls sud denly dead.
 Paris is naturally in the throes of the Bernhardt cult Sarah may ignore Paris. But go back whenever she will and all Paris receives her with open arms.
 Bernhardt goes in for morbid things She likes prolonged agony. There must be any quantity of physical suffering. There must be realism with vengeance. role less frenzied than La Tasca would throw Bernhardt into a state of depression. She is a blood-thirsty creature. She must have roles that takes you week to work off the confusion of impressions that they cause They are full of the essentials that in ordinary hands appeals to the gal leries With Bernhardt who is apparently as young in years as when she first electri- fled this continent these vehemently dem- onstrative plays are a solace to her de- clining years. Without sensation Bern hardt's perpetual youth would cease to be theme.
 Bernhardt has recently been elected vice. president of the committee in charge of Materials of Theatrical Art of the Paris ex- position, of which M. Gailhard, director of the Grand Opera, is president. She is the first woman chosen as official manager on
