Mr. Hosmer-and His Company In ** Davy Crockett.”’ Last evening the popular young California-born actor, Mr. Albert Hosmer, and his powerful company, gave a splendid perfermance of the beautiful idyl of the back woods, ‘Davy Crockett.” All in all, it was the best dramatic representation seen on our boards since the good old days when the Grismer+Davies Company used te occasionally favor us with a visit, and in every way did it equal the very best of their efforts. It was a refreshing change from the barnstorming butcheries of such as the Wilber, Richard Foote, Rayner and other combinations of their class which the theater-going people of this community have so long been inflicted with to the exclusion of almost everything meritorious, “Davy Creckett” as presented by_ Mr. Hosmer is one of the very best of genuine American plays. Itis pure and healthful in tone, repléte with interest, and presents a characteristic picture of American life at the period depicted. Itdeals with the historical character of Davy Crockétt, who met such an heroic end in the fatal affair of win her independence from Mexico. But it deals with him, not as an Indian fighter o1 bully of the backwoods, of which characters in so-called dramas we have of late years had a surfeit, but asa lever.

Tidings: The Omaha Consolidated Mining Company has declared dividend number twenty-three of fifteen cents per share payable Monday at thé k of Weissbein Bros. & Co, This is the second dividend of a like amount declared this month and it is to be hoped that it will befollowed by many others.

Harlow’s mine, near Rocklin, Saturday night. Two masked men held up the topground workmen with shotguns. One of them stood guard over the men while the other broke open the amalgam box and secured the contents.

The play is the production of the late Frank Murdock, a nephew of the tragedian, James E, Murdock. This young gentleman was the author of several pieces, two of which will keep the stage among the best of medern plays, viz: ‘‘Davy Crockett,” and “Only a Jew.” He died just as his merits as a playwright were beginning to be generally recognized, of overwork and intense mental application. Mr. Hosnier’s ‘‘Davy Crockett” gives a strong, original, graphic characterization— as much a gem in its way, as Mr. Jefferson’s ‘Rip Van Winkle,” and as worthy of the heartiest commendation. It is, like the original conception of Frank Mayo, for whom the play was written, a-vivid portraiture of one of ‘‘nature’s noblemen,” and a worthy reminder of the brave man.-whose honesty of purpose was expressed in his owe homely but forcible words, since become a household phrase, ‘‘Be sure you're right, then ‘go ahead.” Both in the construction of the incidents of the drama, and in the embodiment of the part of the hero, certain liberties are taken, historical facts; but these liberties legitimately pertain to the privileges of the poet, dramatist and artist, and are riecessary to a satisfactory stage representation. S . Mr. Hosmer was ably seconded last evening by Miss Ross, a beautiful and accomplished actress, who gave an exoondingly sweet preseitation of “Eleanor,” There was not a weak spot in the entire cast.
