The Alcazar's lamentable Hamlet
Of several weeks ago was forgotten and
forgiven last night by means of a very
agreeable performance of Bulwer
Lytton's "Richelieu." Lewis Morri-
sons age, arch Establishments and af-
fe7-ations find much happier vent in
IS early Victorian drama of pose, wit
; nd high language than they do in the
most profound and subtle of the
Shakespearian tragedies. To be frank,
1 am not an admirer of Mr.. Morrison.
To my thinking his elaborate scheme of
overacting, his SNUG, gratuitous
aCknowled gment of bouquets that
never are thrown. are invitations to re-
buke. In private life he may be the
most modest gentleman eXtant, but on
the stage he strikes me as an inflamed
victim of egomania. With the genius
of a Booth he would still beat the world
IN admiration Of Lewis Morrison. Self
applause seems to follow his every eff
fort.
These unadmirable qualities are not
absent in Mr.. Morrison's Richelieu.
You cannot hope to compete with him
in admiration of it, and yet, if you get
above the actors mannerisms and your
own personal prejudice you will find in
the Characterization much that may be
admired. 1t is very picturesque for one
thing and quite forceful in the mo-
uents of melodramatic action. Where
il fails is in the quiet scenes, the
mental episodes, may call them. In
these Mr. Morrison reads his lines with
painful obviousness, bunting nearly
every point that the author would
score There are wit and delicacy in
Richelieu that a Morrison can never
realize, but on the whole the assump-
Jion was not unworthy of the frequent
applause that greeted it last night.
AS usual the best work was accom-
plished by Miss Roberts. While she

of individual faults the performance as
a whole is beyond my hopes, the aC-
curacy is fairly fit and the good cos
tunes are worn without perceptible
disaster The play is still worth any
bodys attention.

Italian Opera Company at the Alhambra
last night 10 a large and appreciative au-
dience. Senorita Italia [. Repetto scored
a signal success as Lucia and was the
recipient of many floral tributes. She
was particularly effective in the mad
scene and had TO repeat the aria with the
flute obbligato Signor Russo as Edgar
and Signor Pedro Bugamelli as Sir Henry
Ashton were also commendable. The
former has a clear. ringing voice but in
his low notes he is disappointing, a defect
which was most noticeable in the final
aria Signor Louis Bergani as Raimond
sustained the favorable impression he
made on his first appearance. The chorus
was poor and seemed TO lack interest in
their work. Tonight "Giaconda" will be

Modern improvements.

In connection with the subject of
modern improvements, there is no more
striking example of economy in house
hold work than has been made possible
by the invention Of Bon Ami, the finest
cleaner made.
1t has been the custom of the house
wife for many years to get a sand or
securing soap for cleaning purposes and
use it generally in her work, because
it re.lOved dirt, tarnish, CRIME or
grease easier than water would do it..
At the same time she has complained
that the tinware does not last as it used
to; that the oilclOth manufacturers are
using poorer material than they did
when she was a girl; that paint wore Off
faster than formerly, but it has never
occurred to her that she is the one who
is continually wearing these things out
by the use of coarse cleaner and hard
work.
Is it any wonder then that Bon Ami,
the Modern Cleaner, which will not
stratch or injure any surface, is meet
ing with increased popularity as house
wives become acquainted with the fact
that it absolutely will not wear out any
surface On which it is used?
Here is an improvement in an article
of common, everyday use that saves
both money and hard work. How
many realize it?

Reported to Have Been Murdered in
Alaska by Indians.
San Francisco, April "A special
from Juneau, Alaska, to the Call, con-
tains the report of the murder of six
teen prospectors from Kentucky. No
details are at hand, but the story is to
the effect that the gold seekers were
killed while asleep, by Indians, who
wanted their kits and supplies. The
crime is said to have been committed
number of months ago, while the
prospectors were near the mouth of
Kuskikwin river, which, though report
ed rich in miners, has never been eX-
plored by white men. The men who
are said to have been murdered, but
whose, names are not known here, sail
ed, it is stated, from San Francisco last
spring, in a small craft called the Jes-
sic, which they purchased for the trip.
1t is said that the massacre had been
reported to the Interior Department.

gresham Ellis, of Greensboro, KY, is
also quoted as having urged the de-
partment to make a thorough investi-
cation. The names of the murdered
men and a statement regarding the
matter are said to be on file in the In
terror Department at Washington.

While this was happening, beyond the

whole blocks of bamboo structures, the

the impression that a battle was being
fought So long as the fire was confined
to this class of buildings. no effort was
made to suppress it. but when it spread
to other streets lined with stone and

of damage done by these two fires, fully

The Philadelphia Denand Enormoua and
Rapid Advances IN Prices.
Philadelphia. April 2.-The demand
in this market for steel appears to be
absolutely Unsuitable. Price cuts very
little figure in the majority Of cases;
the point is to get material to keep the
men at work. In referring to this ex-
traordinary demand for the product, a
local paper says:
Prices of angles, beams and chan
nels were advanced two dollars per ton
on Thursday, and on Saturday plates
virtually made a four dollar advance.
Pittsburg and Chicago buyers were here
on Saturday begging to have a price
named, intimating that two or three
dollars per ton would be no detriment
to business if they could have delivery
guaranteed, large lots if possible, fail
ing which, few hundred tons would be
acceptable.
So far as known, no orders from
these sources were taken and no price
named, simply because the mills are
crowded with local work.
A 5000 ton order was taken for one
of the Delaware ship. yards, however,
and vast amount of other business is
waiting to see what can be done with it.
