An exchange says: The presentation
Of "Hamlet" at the opera house Friday
night by the Slayton Stock Co. was
really the first and only dramatic pro-
duction ever given in the opera house.
John Arthur in Hamlet was magnifi
cent. Nature has endowed this talent
ed young actor with princely physique
inst the kind that imagination tells us
contained the tortured soul of the
Prince of Denmark. John Arthur is an
ideal Hamlet, he looks the part. Per-
haps he attained the accru of his ex
ceptional dramatic ability in the closet
screen with his queen mother, or per-
haps it was in the play screen when he
watched 1.-THE CALLED jade wine" or per-
haps again it was in his screen with
Ophelia after he discovered the caves
troopers. But whatever he may be
best, he is all the time magnificent
peerless, grand. The support was good,
particularly Miss Emma DeBold as
Ophelia, after the death of Polonius and
ID. G. Alger as first grave digger. The
scenic effect was disappointing for time
but with John Arthur playing Hamlet,
bare walls are sufficient. The engage
ment was something of an experiment
and as such WAS an unqualified success.

patronize this excellent company which

TO STUDY THE WHOLE SUBJECT,
Naval Board Will Investigate Syi
TENS of Wireless TeiewraDhy

Naval Board VIII Investigate Sys-
tens of Wireless TeIegraphy.
The Navy Department for some time has
been giving careful attention to the sub
ject of wireless telegraphy. with a view
to ascertaining how far it can be prac-
tically applied to the naval service The
subject has now advanced to the point
where Secretary Long has appointed a spe-
cial board Of officers to make a thorough
inquiry on the subject. The board consists
oe Captain Chadwick, Lieutenant Powell
son and Lieutenant Commander Hodgson.
The meetings Of these officers will take
place at Newport, and 1t is expected that
their conclusions will determine to what
extent the wireless system can be util-
lied for the navy. Senior Marconl,
the Italian inventor, whose name is identi-
fed with wireless telegIaphy, has been in
this country of late. but it is not known
here whether the Newport board has re-
ceived from him any communications rela-
tive to the adoption Of his system. 1t Is
the purpose of Secretary Long to have the
entire subject gone into, with view to de-
veloping not only the practical utility Of
the Marconi system, but Of all others
which may be available for naval uses.
