 GOULD STEAMERS TO EUROPE
Railroads Preparing to Handle Many
 Old World Corners.

New Orleans, Dee. 2S.-The recen1 visit in this city of J. P. Spanier, general European agent for the entire Gould system, has given renewed i'm fetus to the story that the Goulds will make either a close alliance with some line operating between New Or leans and the Mediterranean ports or operate their own line. The move nsay have a further significance in view of the early construction of the big government immigration station at New Orleans. General Passenger Agent F.. P. Turner of the Texas and Pacific has taken much interest in this project which will assist the road in populating it's line from New Orleans to Fl Paso from among the largely increased number of immi- grants who will be sent to New Or leans for general southern distribu- tion. It is said that the Texas and Pacific proposes to make further lnl- provements in it's general service With special reference to the hand ling of passenger traffic, industr al en- terprises and immigration.

SAFE BURGLARiZED
Thief Enters Partially Burned Smart
 Home and Robs Safe,

Tuesday night someone entered Mrs. M. E. Smart's residence, which was partially destroyed by fire Christmas morning, and forcing an entrance into a safe proceeded to loot the safe of it's contents. The bur glar succeeded in making way with two lady's gold watch chains. a fine pair of opera glasses, valued at $25, two gold rings and a gold watch.
 After the blaze of last Monday, most of the contents were removed from the house, but q number of arti- cles of value were left in a safe, which was kept securely locked, and was believed to be perfectly safe. The work was evidently the deed of some enc familiar with the fact that the safe was in the house and contained goods of value.
 The officers have no clue, but are working on the case diligently.

"OthelIo.'


 The most fascinating characters of the drama are not necessarily the most lovable. Othello has been en-. dowed by Shakespeare with few traits that are prepossessing in the ordinary sense of the word. yet Othel- lo towers head and shoulders in popu- lar interest over any romantic hero that fiction has created. It is the tenn perament that is capable of great emotions that compels attention and the actor who compels attention and the actor who plays Othello accept ably must be man of great natural gifts and we'll grounded in his art. Charles B. Hanford who served his apprenticeship as player under such masters as Booth and Barrett and who had his postgraduate course as the stellar associate of that heroic figure in the legitimate drama, Thom. as w. Keene, stands pre-eminent to- day in the esteem of thousands of playgoers as the exponent of this strange, complex and yet intensely human role. MT. Hanford appears at the Elks in Othello on December 29.
