' When Edwin Booth died 'Hamlet" well nigh died with him, and it was a venturesome man who would aspire 'to All the empty place. .

When he is so surpris ingly successful that he carries Intelli gent and discriminating audiences to enthusiasm in a day when classic trag edy is severely sat a discount, the ad miration grows to most pleasant won der at the marvel of it all. This production is resplendent with superb scenic effects, Mr. Young carry ing every piece of scenery necessary to oroDerly present the entire twelve scenes of "Hamlet."

The business was established in -1776, - and the completion of : the hundedth year . of the foundrys establishment has been celebrated by the issue .of" an exceedingly handsome book, exquisitely bound, artistically printed and beautifully illustrated.

TheNew York Mall and Express of January 15th said: Referring to an item which recently appeared in these columns concerning the advance of salaries of the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line, President Walters writes: "I have seen in your paper a refer ence to increases of salaries on the At lantic Coast Line. Your information was correct but not complete, and I take the liberty of drawing your atten tion to the facts. "The salary of one officer,' who was promoted to a position on probation at a lower salary than his predecessor re ceived, was advanced to the original figure as promised. "We were able to go through the past three years of depression without re ductions in salaries of officers and em ployes, but I regret to say that we are not in a position to make advances. "Our board of directors considered properly that changes inaugurated in the methods of administration called for a redistribution of the amount of money paid out .in salaries of adminis tration, j and hence followed increases and reductions which offset each other, leaving the total amount paid practi cally the same." A Wilmington Boy Honored at the TJni varsity. Chapel Hill, January 23. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) I know that The Messenger is inter ested in recording the success of Wil mlngtonlans, and I therefore write to inform you that in the election of the junior class, held here today, our towns man, Mr. Edward Jenner Wood, son or the late Dr. Thomas F. Wood, was elected to the position of chief marshal for our approaching commencement. This is quite a distinguished honor, it being generally conceded that this of fice takes the highest rank in our uni versity commencement exercises; and we are all happy, not merely because the office has fallen to the lot of a stu dent from Wilmington, but also on ac count of the fact that the honor has j been so worthily bestowed upon one I who will preside with grace and ability on this occasion. Mr. Wood has appointed the following gentlemen as assistant marshals: I. D. Andrews, or chapel iin; ju. n;. Sams, of Mars Hill: F. O. Carver, of Roxboro: P. C. Whitlock, of Rocking ham: J. O.

W3 1-p Claim to Have Driven the Be be) a Oat of Havana and H stanzas. Washington, January 25. "The most Important news that we have yet re ceived from Cuba," said Mr. Du Bosc, tV3 first secretary of the Spanish lega- ;.on" reached us by cable from Madrid last night. It is a telegram from the minister of foreign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, embodying the material points of a dispatch "sent to him by Captain General. Weyler at Havana. The duke's dispatch reads as follows: " 'General Weyler, at the head of fourteen battalions has traversed the provinces of Havana and Matanzas, compelling the principal rebel chiefs to fly to Las Villas, abandoning their horses in the river Hanabana, many of the fugitives perishing in Maritimas. Weyler considers that in Havana and Matanzas there are no longer any great organized bands to disperse and that both provinces may be considered most entirely pacified. The sugar, properties in the rear of the troops have already begun to grind. "This information, the minister, Mr. Dupuy de Lome, authorizes me to give to the Southern Associated Press," said Mr. Du Bosc. "Aside from . the fact that it came front the minister of foreign affairs, it has been confirmed from several other sources and may be relied upon as being, entirely correct. The legation is very particular not to give out news officially that cannot be fully substantiated. This is the second dispatch that the legation has made public in two months. The other was the announcement of Maoeo's death, which was at first denied here and in New York; and -( afterwards when it could.be no longer denied, his death was imputed to treachery. "I should explain," "Mr.Du Bosc went on, ."jthat General . Weyler'1 started on his present trip about eight days ago. The province of PInar del Rio has been under practical subjection ever since the death of Maceo; the only revolu tionists now there are, a few scattered guerilla bands. The province of Santa .Clara can hardly be said to have ever been in revolt, and, as a result, we now have four provinces in which there is little if any disturbance. When the new reforms for Cuba are promulga ted, as they probably will be within the next fortnight, they will be put into effect in all six provinces in Cuba as soon as the machinery for taking the census, which is a condition precedent to the reforms, can be established. You ask if the Cuoans are ready for these new measures. I have no hesitancy in replying in the affirmative. The only people who oppose the reforms and de sire a continuation of the revolution are the patriots in New York. The reb els in Cuba are anxious for peace. In my opinion the days of the insurrection are .numbered." - IXTEXSE COLD WEATHER.

The cold wave which gathered in British Colum bia on Friday came down upon this section yesterday and still continues here, though slightly abated tonight. At 7 o'clock this morning the tempera ture was exactly zero. At noon three degrees above was indicated, and at 5 o'clock p. m. four degrees above was the reading. This extremely low tem perature, following sharply upon a long season of mild weather, found thou sands of poor families unprepared.
