OPENNEVENINGS rooooooooovroroooo Italian Tragedies. GREAT AME RIGAN FAVORITE The Handsome Young Actor's Best Work Was Done In the Romantic Boles. His Start on the Stage and His Subsequent Popularity. ROME, Dec. 16.—Alexander Salvini, actor and son of the celebrated Italian tragedian, Tommaso Salvini, died at Flor- ence today. NEW YORK, Dec. 1 .—Alexander Salvini has been well known to New York theater goers for the past ten years. He played with A. M. Palmer’s company at the Madison Square for several seasons, and one of his most notable successes was scored in “Jim the Penman.” About six years ago young Salvini started out as a star, and until last season he had always proved a. fairly suc- cessful road attraction. In this city he was a favorite in the combination theaters, but his appearances at the Star and Ham- merstein’s Manhattan Opera House (now Koster &. Bial’s) were not particularly suc- cessful. D’Artagnan, in ”The Three ALEXANDER SALVINI AS ZAMAR. Guardsmen,” was considered to be his ‘ finest part. He was a handsome fellow and had inherited something of his father’s fire; but, like other clever sons of brilliant fa- thers, under another name his chances of success would have proved greater. A company had been engaged to support him in this Country this season, but owing to his illness, which was known to be hopeless as early as last September, all en- gagements had to be canceled. His Early Life. Salvini was born in Rome in 1861. He attended a school at Naples and continued his studies at Florence and Genoa. After working for a. short time at a school in Switzerland he went to a technical college in Florence. with a‘view to becoming an engineer. Having completed his studies there he came to this country at the age of 21 in company with Charles Chizzola, manager of Rossi’s American tour. At this time his desire to go on the stage was so great that, instead of looking for a place as an engineer, he devoted his ener- gies to studying English. His first at- tempt as an actor was in a part in “Article 47,” in Clara Morris’ company at the Un- ion Square theater. Afterward he played two seasons with Miss Margaret Mather as Romeo, Orlando, Claude Melnotte, Clifford and Rudolph in “Leah” and in a company managed by Shook & Collier. When his father came to America in 1885, Alexander Salvini joined his com- pany, and in the following year he was engaged by A. M. Palmer for his com- pany at the Madison Square theater. It was in the plays here given that Salvini was best known to the New York public. In such parts as Lancelot in “Elaine,” Borgfeldt in “Partners” and Hartfelt in ”-Jim the Penmcn” he met with great success. After three seasons he again joined his father in a tour of the country. On the return of Salvini the elder to Europe his son set out on a starring tour, playing in “Don Caesar de Bazan,” “ The Duke’s Motto.” “A Celebrated Case,” “Monte-Christa.” “A Child of Naples,” “Cavalieria Rusticana," “L’Ami Fritz,” “The Three Guardsmen,” “The Student of Salamanca” and “Hamlet.” Think He “’as Murdered. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Dec. 16.—Sensa- tional developments are expected at the coroner’s inquest on the body of John Os- car Kjellen, who was burned to death in the fire which destroyed the Soderholm block last week. Kiellen’s skull was found to be fractured, and, although he was said to have had considerable money on his person previous to his death, not a cent or any trace of money was found on his char- red remains. Explosion of Tar. - NEW HAVEN, Dec. 16. ——By the explosion of a quantity of tar today a fire was caused which resulted in the practical total de- struction of a large building on the corner of Chapel and Lloyd streets, owned by Edward T.

Y., Dec. 16.—John Wiss, postmaster at Leroy, in this county, who since last July has been a grocer at West avenue and Ford street, Rochester, today made a general assignment to James B.

Four bodies have been recovered, and many Michael Cashman was drowned while trying to ford Toutle river. The bodies of Mrs. Shumaker and her daughter, who were drowned in the Cowlitz flood three weeks ago, have just been found, nearly buried in ‘the sand, ten miles below where they were swept oil the raft on which they were trying to escape: The body of an . unknown man was found drifting in the river at Castle Rock. . Settlements in the Big Bottom country, near the headwaters of the Cowlitz river, were nearly wiped out by the floods. Thirty houses were carried down the stream, and many families escaped on rafts after their dwellings had been carried miles. Two persons are reported drowned. Miles of fences and other improvements have been destroyed. The people of that neighborhood have appealed for aid, to which the citizens of Chehalis and the surrounding towns have already responded. Many farmers have lost their seed wheat, which the county commissioners will be asked to supply. Since Nov. 1, 20 inches of water has fallen, or half the usual yearly fall. HOMESTEADS IN WASHINGTON. Exemption From Taxation Recommended by‘the Governor Elect. TACOMA, Dec. 15.—-Govern0r Elect Rog- ers has issued a copyrighted pamphlet con- taining about 2,000 words and entitled “Free Land.” A copy has been sent to the members of the legislature, which meets next month. He takes the position that free land is an “inalienable, impre- scriptible and indestructible’ ’ right of man and draws lessons from the freedom and enjoyment of the Puyallup reservation In- dians, which he thinks results from their free, inalienable and untaxable home~ steads. He proposes an amendment to the state constitution providing that “real es— ' tate and all usual improvements to a value not to exceed $2,500, occupied as a home- stead by any private family the holder of which iii a citizen of the United States and this state, shall be forever exempted from all taxation of every kind.” The exemption, according to his plan, is limited to homesteads. The pamphlet states that the amount expected by this scheme would not exceed 10 per cent of the entire valuation. He said such a plan en- acted into law “will prevent that fatal clash of the classes otherWise inevitable.” The pamphlet concludes: “County gov- ernment should be abolished or reduced to the merest skeleton of what it now is. Townsh 'ps and municipal governments can attend to local affairs. Let the state. be called in where necessary. ” . All INDIAN CAVE LOCATED.
