Russian Intolerance. Sonnenthal, one of the most prominent actors of Vienna, had a very unpleasant experience. He was asked to appear at Riga and accepted the invitation, there being a large German speaking colony in that city. Shortly after his arrival there the prefect of police issued on order summarily sum-marily expelling him from the czar's domain. There was a flurry of excitement, excite-ment, as Sonnenthal is held in very high estimation. Inquiries as to the cause of the order elicited the information that the sole reason was that the actor had been so contumacious as to bo bora of Hebrew parentagel Improbable as it may seem it required negotiations between the Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburg Peters-burg and the highest Russian official be fore the outrageous order of tbe police could be revoked.
