THURSDAY, MAY 23 PRINCE RUPERT’S PATRIOTIC TWENTY-FOURTH. In spite of noble efforts on the part of the imperially in- Prince Rupert citizens have decided not to make any Empire Day, or Vic- In the multi- clined, especial attempt to mark the 24th of May, toria Day, whichever you may prefer to term it. tude of councillors there is wisdom, and vox populi, whether it be really vox dei or not, is quite a power in the land. Prince Rupert has acted quite ‘sensibly in quietly turning down all at- tempts at organizing a special celebration within the city’s limits to mark the occasion of the 24th. A very much healthier and happier day will be spent by the citizens in taking advantage of the many excellent opportunities offered them for getting away for a while from the townsite which has been the scene of their joys and sorrows, struggles and successes for many a month past. Imperialist opinion notwithstanding, Prince Rupert is not going to be accused of disloyalty to the imperial idea or even to the memory of the great and good Queen by preferring to go forth into the fresh and the free, over wave and up mountain- side, or along the gleaming ribbon of the steel, as her manner of celebrating the 24th, instead of having a dusty gathering in the city’s centre‘for the glory of a company of athletes to the parch- ing of many throats big and small. There is something quite appreciably more imperial in the idea of spreading abroad by land and sea on Empire Day than in congestion together for one narrow purpose. In their manner of observing Empire Day Prince Rupert citizens may consider themselves just as patriotic as they are sensible. Dominion Day is not far distant, and on that occasion it is highly probable that there will be sports in plenty for the young athletes of the city, with a very much greater chance of success for the program than would have been the case had matters been scrambled into shape for tomorrow. The men will be in better training; there will probably be more financial support concentrated on the single day than if subscriptions had been solicited for Empire Day with Dominion Day looming in front, and there is very good reason to believe that there will be a much bigger crowd of visitors to impress with the very excellent which winds American THE DAILY NEWS. —$—<———=_—— Flor-| Ballard Seattle, May 20,—Mrs. ence KE, Learned of 744 place and Car] Bruder, son of Mr. and Mrs, £. C, Bruder, were drowned and 58 others were in- jured at the Coleman dock at 11:30 o’clock yesterday morning when the adjustable end of the gangway from which they were boarding the steamer Flyer for Tacoma collapsed. More than sixty into the waters of Eliot Bay, twenty feet below. In the midst of a scene of panic, indescribable, a few cool, efficient persons un- dertook the work of rescue, and rendered great service in pulling persons fell out the struggling men, women and children, Many were in the last stages of exhaustion, both from their frightful struggles and from having swallowed quantities of the polluted salt water. The accident was caused by the springing apart of a worm gear- ing working in the cog wheel up the chains that raise and lower the big slip. The slip is perhaps forty feet on the stage actor, who recently came There is a new Hamlet a Scotch Ian MacLaren, rver to support George Arliss in “Disraeli.” Mr, MacLaren loves his Shakespeare and he, with kindred spirits, organized a com- memorative performance of Ham- let and gave it al Wallack’s The- atre, New York, recently. As Ophelia, he had Miss Viola Knott, daughter of the famous Hamilton Roselle Knott, and the Canadian girl is said to have given a very creditable per- formance in the difficult part. The critic of the Dramatic Mirror writes as follows regard- ing the new and novel interpre- tation of Hamlet's character by Mr. MacLaren: “Another actor has cast his hat actress, abilities of our Prince Rupert athletes. CONSERVATISM FROM WITHIN. Nominion government created the Civil Commission and placed the ‘inside’ service at Ottawa under ifs control Mr. Borden commended that departure and spoke in an admirably high minded manner about the desirability of doing away with the patronage evil in politics, declaring him- self in favor of extending the control of the commission to the late When the Service entire civil service. Mr. Borden unuestionably desires lo be honest and consist- ent, and if left to himself he would doubtless measure up to expectations, but the trouble is he is surrounded by a nest of hungry, thirsting wolves, and they evidently overpower better judgment. If he would but cast aside the heelers of party and exert his own personal wholesome influence he would not only be doing the country a splendid publie service, but in the end he would immeasurably strengthen his party by recog- nizing efliciency only in preference to permitting the continu- ance of the spoils system merely to gratify the selfishness of a lot of shysters who are, in nine cases out of ‘ten, utterly devoid of fitness for public positions and who would never get a look in if merit alone counted for anything, and if the only necessary qualification were not that of playing the dirtiest kind of political trickery.--The Evening Empire. his his \ P. 0.

Sabscribe For The Daily News And Get All the News into the Shakespearean ring, and it is a piece of headgear worthy of critical attention, because al- though it is built on a familiar framework, it has several new plumes. Tradition has decreed that Hamlet must be an intro- spective, philosophical hero, and consequently he has become a sort of monument to soliloquy and inaction. In all reeent in- carnations Hamlet has worn an old head on his young shoulders, and his demeanor has taken on the temperament of a middle iged scholar. “For that reason, Ian Mac- Laren, who is nothing if not or- iginal, has thrown down the gauntlet, because his Hamlet from intention and design is an ardent|* youth. Purposely he eliminates the even balance and the calm thoughtfulness to which we are accustomed, in order to replace it with fire and spirit. As a re- sult, he creates a more emotion- ally sympathetic character, who really touches the heart. A stickler for tradition may hesi- tate to accept this version, but certainly Hamlet was a young man, and Mr. MacLaren has not settled upon the interpretation without a logical cause. The only point that admits argument is the reconciliation of such spirit with Hamlet's activity. This dif- ficult matter the actor accom- plished with absolute success by many little items of varied shad- ing which cannot be set down at length, He gave the impression that Hamlet was burning with desire for revenge, but that the Prince felt at the same time bis own inability to cope with the odds against him. His most il- luminating example of this oc- curred at the close of his scene of instruction to the players. After Ophelia’s death he appeared more quiet, more self possessed, as if he were nerving himself up to the task before him. He be- came the aequiescent instrument of an external power that urged him to strike. “Mr. MacLaren’s originality also appeared in various bits of stage business. He made the ex- change of rapiers an intention, not an accident, He used only one picture in the scene with the Queen, imagining the other in the air, In reading certuin emo- tional passages he hastened tor- rentially through the lines, em- phasizing only the — climatic points, and dropping the rest into an almost unintelligible shadow.
