The Play "Ben Hur."

Usually one approaches play
made on a really powerful novel with
misgivings, but with ben Hur" this
is different and herein lies one of its
greatest charms. In this wonderful
production, when they essay to show
you the inside of galley with a
Prince of Hur at one of the oars, it
is stage picture that suggests the
very environment and takes on the
semblance of reality. The same
goes with all the other pictures, from
the allegorical one in the prologue,
showing the Wise Men discovering
the Star of Bethlehem; and onward
through those stirring scenes of Je
rusalem, preceding Hur's arrest to
the galley, the rescue and the Grove
Of Daphne, which is a picture of
Oriental splendor and pleasure com
bined, as beautiful as has been SET
for the gaze of theater-goers in many
day. Then comes the great chariot
race, the acme Of stage mechanism
and the great scenic triumph of the
piece. 1t goes off with a whirl and
picturing the Circus at Antioch, with
the struggle between Messiah and
ben Hur" that fires the interest Of
the spectator to the highest pitch.

WRECK OF THE DISCOVERY.
Little Hope for Passengers or Crew
of Vessel.


Seattle, Nov. "A special from
Juneau, Alaska, announces that J.
Bent, a passenger on the steamer Elk
celsior, reports that mass of wreck
age from the steamer Discovery has
washed ashore at the mouth of Seal
river, 30 miles below Yakutat. Bent's
information makes it practically GER
tain that the Discovery is lost and
leaves little hope for either passen-
gers or crew. It is believed, in fact,
that everybody on board persisted.
The wreckage found, Bent says, con-
sists Of pieces of lifeboats, life pre-
servers and large pieces of her hull.
He states that terrific storm pre-
vailed for week prior to November
16, on which date he boarded the Elk
celsior at Yakutat, having walked 80
miles from Seal river to catch the
steamer.
The Yakutat Indians were watching
the beach for bodies and they claim
to have found large piece of mast
and mans coat. The number of peo-
pie aboard the Discovery, passengers
and crew, is estimated at 80. The
vessel left Yakutat October 20, accord
ing to the officers of the steamer Nome
City, and was never seen after that.
She is believed to have encountered
a storm which simply broke her to
pieces, the disaster occurring prob
ably within "a hours after she left
Yakutat.
