SARAH BERNIIARDT AND DRAMATIC CRITICISM.


TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Though having no idea that any words OF mine
will have the slightest effect, cannot refrain from
expressing nv regret that The Tribune should allow TO
appear in its respected columns such criticism y as
Mr.. Winters on Nine. Bernhard this morning such
newspaper as yours should not permit Itself 70 be
used as vehicle for the transmission to the public
of the violent personal prejudices Of any man.
Whether Bernhardt's influence on the contemporary
theatre be for good evil Is an open question But
among those fully competent TO Judge there can be no
question as to the actresses great genius and the station
she occupies on the stage entities her at least TO
respectful attention and criticism from the press.
The fippant sneers of Mr.. Winter. directed against
the art aud e genius of Sarah Bernhardt serve only
dignity Of The Tribune and 10 offer another convincing
proof that true, highmnded criticism Is very nearly
a lost art In this city. Very Respectfully u r.
NewYork, Nov TO- 1901.
This solcitude as TO che dignity Of The Tribune
is touching, but superfuous, and this grief Tor
the critical art surely is precipitste. considering
that, whatever else is gone, the profound and
polished writer of the above epistle still remains.
Many a year is in its grave since High Old
Criticism was first reported TO be defunct, and
many tears have been shed over its bier; but
there is always Gifted Hopkins in the neighbor-
ing underbrush who energies In time TO resni-
mate the cadaver. Thus at the present melan-
arrested by writer fully competent to judge" ,:
and, that being the case, there will be no need
of Grape hatbands for the present.
With reference to the eminent French actress,
Sarah Bernhardt, are not aware that her
genius, her art, or the station she occupies Oh
the stage" whatever that may be-. have ever
been denied in this Journal. On the contrary.
the remarkable faculties and peculiarities lpf
Sarah Bernhardt as an actress have BEEN over
and over again, celebrated in these columns; and.
furthermore they haYe been .thoughtfuly md
infinitely analysed and described. We do not
deem it essential 10 print special edition Of this
paper every time Sarah Bernhardt changes the
bill neither do we believe that the welfare OF
the stage or that of the public is advanced by
sounding the praises of actress who has, almost
invariably, for many years, perverted her manifest
and indsputable powers to the injury Of both.
Having reached our conclusions on this subject
by exceedingly careful and conscientious study of
it, and having thoroughly set forth the reasons
for them, we are content now simply 70 state
them, in the brefest possible way, when occa-
sion requires it, Meanwhile, Sarah Bernhardt
stands in no need Of praise. Her business. wher-
ever she goes, is Tremendous. And we will
venture the timid suggestion that she would
even be able 10 get along without the indorse-
ment Of Gifted Iopklns-W W.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir Pray. why does The Tribune publish 50 conspicn-
ously this great hue and cry about the famine oil

part Of Tsmmany TO work the public up to that point
where they will ask for the construction of the Quaker

MUST KEEP LIGHT ) UP.

Two Vessels Fined by the Govern
ment for Violating Navlga ton Laws.
The sloop Hattie Gowan, owned by James
Mulligan. and reported by the revenue
cutter Boutwell, for violation of the law by
lying at anchor without displaying anchor
lights. has been surrendered to the United
States authorities in default of payment of
fine of $500, imposed by the collector Of
the port, and is tied up on the north side of
the river, opposite the city. The sloop was
lying off Thunderbolt when reported By the
revenue marine authorities.
The sl0op white Wing, owned by John
M. Hall of the United States engineers
office, which was reported at the same time
as the Hattie Gowan for a similar violation
and was surrendered in default of payment
of the fine, was released yesterday bv the
custom authorities upon payment of a fine
OF $40, the Secretary of the Treasury hav-
ing reduced the original fine to that amount
upon appeal of the vessels owner. The
basis Of the appeal was that
the vessel was left in charge
of a colored Waterman who claimed TO have
displayed the proper lights, and the fact
that the sloop is a small vessel, being of less
than three tons burden and undocumented,
and was anchored close to shore over 500
feet from the channel The owner pleaded
no intention of violating the law, and in
ability to pay the fine. The Secretary of
Treasury, under the circumstances, con-
sidered the reduced fine sufficient penalty
for the offense
The revenue cutters officers are doing an
active work in securing, by reporting to
the authorities, stricter enforcement Of
the navigation laws.

MILITARY EXECUTION IN INDIA
Calm Bravery OF Man About to be
Blown from a Cannon's Mouth.

Calm Bravery OF a Man About to be
Blown from Cannons Mouth.
From the Louisville Courier-JournaI.
Uzman Afzul Khan, being a strict Mo-
hammedan, was sentenced by the general
court-martial to be executed by being blown
from the mouth of q gun. Saturday, the
day following their Sabbath, which is our
Friday, was the day appointed, subject to
the approval of the finding" by the COM
mandant. The commandant approved the
finding of the court, and the execution
parade took place the following Sat-
urday. The native troops, all unarmed,
formed two sides of a square opp site
TO one another and facing inward. The
white troops formed one side. They paraded
with fixed bayonets and loaded with ball
cartridge in view of the Sepoys On the
fourth side Of the square twelve-pounder
gun was posted. the muzzle pointing in-
ward, in charge of the European artillery.
The commandant and staff stood in the
center Of the square, Presently the con-
victed subadar-major was marched into the
square and halted in front of the gun facing
the troops. The charge, finding, and sem
tence were read by the adjutant in English
and Hindustani, and the commandment asked
the prisoner to say his last words.
The prisoner, who was. to do him but JUS
tice, brave. soldIerly man, said in firm
voice that no was justly punished for his
gross breach of military discipline, and ex-
hortei the Sepoys to adhere to the British
Raj, which he said would be successful as it
had always been.
He was then tied securely to the muzzle
OF the gun, his back to it, facing the parade.
The gun was loaded with an extra charge
Of powder. with a clod of grassy turf lightly
rammed home. The mans face was pale as
DEATH but he still had a resolute look and
did not tremble one whit. He certainly died
a brave man, The word was given by the
commaudant and the lanyard
pulled. A dull explosion folio we'd,
and the unhappy wretch was launched
into eternity blown into fragments He, how
ever. had a certain revenge even in death,
for his right arm. being tightly drawn back
on the gun, on the latter being fired, was
violently projected bach, striking with force
a stalwart sergeant of artillery on the throat
and hurting him to the earth. The sergeant
was six months in the hospital before he re-
covered sufficiently to join his corps. A
party OF the deceased mutineer's regiment
picked up the pieces very carefully, as to
mics any of them would entail much
suffering in a future state, and carried
the remains off to be buried by his
friends.
