which has just closed an engagement
at the Opera House, was recognized
while in this city by Everett e. Hutch

established theater there. 1t was cal
led the Orphenum Theatre and was
very prosperous enterprise. The men,
bers of the company had hard time

Lindermann TO Dawson and had many
narrow escapes from death. She re-
manned in Dawson until September,
1850. and when she came away she
brought Soodly pile of. gold dust.

Mantell's Hamlet.

The production of Hamlet" by
Robert b. Mantell at the Opera house,
last evening, was witnessed by a fair
sized audience. That it's production
pleased those in attendance was evil
denced by the frequent outbursts of
applause which greeted the players at
different stages of the performance.
Mr.. Mantells acting was very fine.
Few tragedians of the past quarter of
century, from Edwin Booth to Henry
Irving, in purity of diction, grace of
form and naturalness of manner, have
ever eXcelled him in this part. He was
every bit the moody Dane in all that
goes to make the character what
Shakespeare intended it to be. And
above all he was entirely free from
mannerisms Of every kind. He was
Hamlet pure and simple. His rich,
round voice sounded sweetly on the
ear, and his movements upon the stage
were pleasing to the eye and his fierce
denunciatiOns of his uncle and king
struck many responsive chords in the
hearts of his auditors.
Mr.. Mantell was fairly well support
ed. Especially good was Miss Marie
Booth Russell as Ophelia, Mark Price
as Claudius, King of Denmark, w. j.
Bowen as Laertes, and Miss Minnie
Monk as Queen Gertrude.

Herrmann's Escape From Sing Sing"

Among the many new and startling il
lusions presented by Herman the
Great" the present season is 1.-The Es-
cape from Sing Sing" which is said to be
the most marvellous and startling Illusion
ever produced by this master of occult
phenomena. THE Escape from Sing
Sing is a realistic production of an es-
cape, or rather a disappearance of a not
ed convict some years ago from the Lud-
low street Jail in New York City. At the
time the event created a great deal Of
comment and proved a nine days Won
der. The prison and cell were carefully
gone over by the authorities, and no trace
or clue of how the prisoner could pos
sibly escape was found. 1t is one of the
mysteries which crop up every once in
while in real life. 1t is to this day
shrouded in mystery and is accounted
for by the authorities as being done in
collision with one of the guards in
charge of the prison. Mr.. Hermann
awaited himself of the idea conveyed and
constructed what he called .'The Escape
from Sing Sing from the occurrence.
1t will be one of the principal features
Of the program of magic, which Hermann
will present in this city next Thursday

There is Il good deal OF interest felt
in the announcement that the Kohl
noor is to be the central jewel in
Queen Alexandra's coronation crown.
and it has revived many half forgotten
stories about the famous stone, says
the New York Tribune. One relates
that it vas nearly lost through the for
g%etfulness OF the man to whom it was
intrusted for conveyance to England.
This man was John Laurence, high in
the Anglo-Indian councils. and he put
it in a small tin box and tucked it into
his waistcoat pocket. When he reach
ed England, Mr.. Laurence forgot all
about it-worth only a few millions
and tossed the waistcoat aside. Queen
Victoria sent for the jewel in a few
weeks, and Laurence replied, "Why,
you've got it." Then in another in
slant he remembered. and he rushed
to his native servant to know if he
had the box. The servant had opened
the box and, finding only a large piece
of glass, as he thought. had tucked it
away among his masters souvenirs.
It was sent in safety to the queen.

ORTHODOX CIRCLES WORRIED
ABOUT EMPERoR's THEOLOGY
PRINCE HENRY'S VOYAGE
The Tariff Bill Still Opposed BY the
Agrarian Press and Higher
Duties Demanded.

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-The action of EN-
peror William for sitting through a
long lecture by Professor Delitzch,
the psychologist on the "Babylonish
Origin of Hebrew IDEAS" has alarmed
the ultra-orthodox circles of the state
church who begin to think something
is wrong with his majesty's theology.
They have noted that in Gotha three
weeks ago, the emperor intimated
that all churches were equally dear
to him, saying that one of the great
purposes of his life was to bring about
church unity. His allowing Professor
Delitzsch's conclusions as tC the his
torical foundation of Hebraism, to
have imperial approval is regarded as
a dangerous symptom.
Professor Delitzsch, at the termina-
ton of his address, thanked Emperor
William for his c~ountenance and large
personal contribution, enabling re-
searches to be made in the territory of
ancient Babylonia.
Among the curious grants of money
by the Academy of Sciences, to pro-
mote original investigation, is one to
Countess DR.. Won Linden, of Bonn
University, to study the coloring sub
stance of butterflies wings.
The programme for Prince Henry's
visit las arranged by Secretary Hay
and DR.. Won Holleben, has been re-
ceived at the foreign office here, but
has not yet been considered by the
emperor, who is expected to take the
matter up on Monday.
The friends Of the tariff bill con
tinue to express themselves in pessi-
mistic terms regarding the prospects
Of that n easure. 1t is significant th.::
he agrarian organ, the Deutsch
Tames-Zeitung, has printed an article
notifying the tariff committee that
there is no use wasting time upon
the bill unless the agricultural duties
are raised still higher as the agricul
tural members will never vote for the
bill in it's present form.
