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

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. Sanford, dealer in grain, flour
and feed. The upper portion of the build-
ing was occupied by 23 families as tenants.
All of them got out.

Ex—Postmaster Assigns.

BATAVIA,N. 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.
Gillett of Leroy. The assets are $45,000
and the liabilities about the same.

Spanish Pretender Not to Abdicate.

MADRID, Dec. 16. —The report that Don
Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish
throne, intends to abdicate his claims in
favor of Don Jamie, his son, which this
time originated in a dispatch to L’Im-
parcialfrom Rome, is without foundation
in fact.

Supposed to Have Foundered.

PARIS, Dec. 16.—The French steamer
Comentry, which left Bayonne on Dec. 4
for Cardifl‘, has not been seen since, and it
is supposed that she has foundered with

TACOMA, Dec. 15.—Nine inches of rain

Washington. During the past week the

terrific rush, breaking dams and carrying

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.

The Walls Covered With Picture Writ-
ings of Ancient Tribes.

WmONA, Minn., Dec. 15.—Jonathan
Carver. one of the first explorers of the
northwest, makes mention in one of his
books of a large cave, with walls covered
with Indian picture writing-3,. near the
southern boundary of Minnesota. A Wi-
nona scientist has just located this cave,
and it has been thoroughly explored. It is
at Lamoil‘ie, 10 miles south .Of here.

The entrance to the cave is semicircu-
lar, 50 feet wide and 20 feet high. Upon
entering, the fact is discovered that the
cave is a large room, oblong in shape.
This chamber is 10’) feet long, running
from side to side, and about 7'0 feet in
Width. The roof arches to a height of
nearly 25 feet. The walls are found to be
amasa of Indian writings. Among the
figures is that of a man nearly six feet
long and well proportioned. A space,
where the water has prevented people'erm
matting it, is literally covered with draw-
in s of reactions, eagles, muskrats, bcav
v , rhttlesnakes of all lengths, birds,
b alo heads and hosts of other animals.

he pictures are heypnd doubt the work
of Indian tribes, mostly Sioux, who lived
in the region for centuries.

leged assassination of Maceo. He said to-
night:

“I have been studying the situation and
conditions down there cIOSely, and I am
satisfied that with 10,000 men—and by
that I mean American men—I could whip
Weyler and his Spanish soldiers, and if I
could get some wealthy American to back
me in it, I would do it.”

General Colby won some military re-
nown by aiding in the subjection of the
Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee.

The Newark and Raleigh.

KEY VW-‘F'l‘, Dec. 16.-—The hasty depar-
iure 0f the United States cruisers Newark
