HIGH GRADE OF ACTING.
To be continued nert Sunday.

Americans and Germans Dramatically Com
pnrcd.
W. d. Howells in Harper's Magazine for June.l
We wish once more to bear our testimony
to the very high grade of acting in our
theaters. We have not only wonderfully
equipped dramatic criticism ready to exact
classic excellence from the nascent
American drama. but school of act
ing we'll fitted to interpret its finest
inspirations. We cannot, indeed, truly say
that the average of acting we saw at the
American theaters was so high as that we
found ont night at the German Theater,
where we went to hear play that made all
our American plays seem playthings. This
was "Die Ehre," piece by the young
dramatist Sudermann, who has dared to put
more truth into it than has been put into
any other modern play except, perhaps,
''La Morte Ciyile." 1t is simply the story
of q young man whom a patronizing benevo-
lence has educated above the station of
his family, but who comes Loyalty back to
his father and mother and sisters from the
prosperity that has dawned upon him in
India, to live with them and be one of them.
He finds the elder sister married to a brutal
workman, the younger mistress to the son OF
his patron. He appeals to her and the pa
rents against the wicked life that none of
them have been ashamed of, and they have
promised to 60 back with him to India,
when the patron comes in and makes good
the wrong his son has done with a handsome
check.
They are of the poor who can be bought,
he of the rich who think money can pay
anything. The son is defeated, and fairly
driven from his home by his kindred, who
fawn upon the patron, and turn from cursing
to fattering the guilty girl who has brought
them so much money with her dishonor. 1t
is a horrible scene, but as you witness it you
realize the horrible truth back OF it, that
poverty when it is dire must sell itself,
and that wealth when it is corrupted with
the sense of its power can feel no harm in
buying. The piece arraigns existing society,
not in set terms, but tacitly, by inexorable
truth to its facts. 1t is weakened by deus
ex machina who appears from time to time,
and at last carries the young man back to
India with the patrons daughter for his
bride; but even this folly cannot obscure its
awful lesson, or silence its appeal to the So
cial conscience.

THE REMEDY FOR SLAVERY.
A Solemn Combination Against Gunpowdsr
In Africa Needed.

In Africa Needed.
Stanley in scribner.l
There is only one remedy for these whole.
sale devastations of African aborigines, and
that is the solemn combination of England
Germany, France. Portugal, South and East
Africa, and Congo State against the intro.
duction of gunpowder into any part of the
continent except for the use of their owh
agents, soldiers, and employees; OF
seizing upon every tusk OF ivory
brought out. as there is not
a single piece nowadays which has been
gained lawfully. Every tusk, piece, and
scrap in possession of an Arab trader has
been stepped and dyed in blood. Every
pound weight has cost the life of man,
woman or child; for every five pounds hut
has been burned; for every two tusks a
whole village has been destroyed; every
twenty tusks have been obtained at the
price of a district, with all its people,
villages and plantations.
1t is simply incredible that because ivory
is required for ornaments or billiard games,
the rich heart Of Africa should be laid
waste at this late year of the nineteenth
century, signalized as 1t has been by so
much advance; that populations, tribes and
nations should be utterly destroyed.

LAMAR ON THE SOUTH.

So Fearful of Its Ruin That He Wants to
Sell His Mississippi Property.
Justice Lamar, writes Frank G. Carpen-
ter, takes very gloomy view of the South
and its future. He told me the other day
that he thought Mississippi would eventu-
ally be negro State and that the whites
would be forced to emigrate. He is so con-
fident OF this that he is snxlous to sell his
plantation in Mississippi, consisting Of
about 500 acres OF the finest lands in that
State, and having on it AZ registered cows
and number of fine horses. Justice Lamar
has magnificent homestead there and his
lands are under the best of cultivation. He
offers the whole for much less than it is
worth. and he says he mas no desire to have
any of his friends remain in Mississippi.
Said he to me:
''The influence of the present administra-
tion is bound to be altogether in favor of the
blacks at the expense of the whites, and the
whites will not permit the blacks to rule
them. Had Blaine been elected President
the result would have been different and the
outlook for the South would have been bet
ter, but as it is it seems to me as dark as it
can be and what will be the future God only
knows"

The Illustrated Americana
The beauty Of American girls is 0 much
discussed question. 1t is said they have no
distinctive points, but it seems to me that
any one who has travelled must easily have
settled upon the salient points which go to
make up the beauty of an American
girl. A general delicacy of outline as we'll
as coIoring are demanded. A woman with
very large eyes and no other charms is
never rated as a beauty here. When a
woman is said to be beauti ul in America it
means that she has a face nodded in deli
cate lines, features that are thoroughly,
harmonious. figure which is
neither pronouncedly athletic nor too
plump, and small hands and feet In En-
gland if woman is 6 feet 2, and broad
across the shoulders, she is invariably
spoken of in the society papers as beauti-
full, though her feet may out-class the IRON
clad and her knuckles stretch wildly abroad
In Italy and Spain pair of big, ex-
pressive eyes are enough, but in America
thoroughly balanced series of attractions
must be shown to win the title. American
girls form lofty, gay, intrepid, and dash
ing army, whose audacity should be
feminine. They have all Of the athletic
look of the English woman, without the
i'll fitting gloves and ponderous boots. The
assumption of semi-mascuhne attire robs
them OF their greatest charm. Woman
illness is still the most attractive quality of
woman.

Recently wise and amiable philoso-

nothing more serious than an un-

hood by the celebrity in question.
The man, meaning to be pleasantly jo-

boy what he thought of matters and things

and the poor victim had remained confused

ever afterward at sight of his tormentor-
until displeasure, thriving upon itself, grew
into resentment.

Frank G. Carpenters Washington letter.

fact makes me think of General George
Sheridan, whom saw strutting about the
hotels yesterday under sombrero as big
around as dish pan. Sheridan was a great
friend of Brady. the noted star route man,
and while Brady was at the height of his
power here Sheridan frequently called upon
him for little loan. One day one of
Brady's clerks came in and told HIM that
Sheridan was in town. "How is he dressed?''
asked Brady.
HE looks as though he came out of
bsndbox was the reply. He has ON new
silk hat, new suit. patent leather boots and
he is taking in the town in a landau"
He wants some money" said Brady "and
I'll bet you So that he will be here within two
hours to borrow any way from $500 and up
wards. He never dresses up except when
he wants to make a loan and then he puts
on all the style he can buy" He had
hardly finished this remark before Sheridan
came in and he departed soon after with
his pocketbook fattened.

AMUSING THE CHILDREN,

treasures. One child cut the cardboard
into pieces three-quarters OF an inch square,
the other printed on each square letter.
The alphabet was repeated many times.
Then each formed words from the letters
and gave to the other to make out. In this
way they amused themselves for hours.
The mother might have taken the game
from home with less trouble to herself, but
we'll she knew there would be more satisfac-
tion in making it Tor themselves. Paper
dolls were cut and extensive wardrobes
fashioned from bright-colored paper that
had been thoughtfully provided. At the

the children wonderfully we'll behaved, and
