Mr.. lingo Tyrrell owns play called ''The
Rabbi" based upon incidents Of the pres
ent persecution of his Jewish subjects by
the Gar of Russia, which he intends to
produce in this city after the departure of
Sarah Berphardt. The work is in eight
tableaux, and the dramatist has undertaken
the task of exhibiting the jew as hero and
not as huckster, the last being the posi-
ton in which he is generally placed on the
stage. 1.-The Rabbi" has had a stormy his
tory, as everything not pandering to the
popular prejudice of the age must always
have. First, it was written by that reyolu-
tiOnary spirit, Vera Sussulich, eXecutriX of
the Nihilist decree on the Chief of the third
section of the Russian police, General Ire
poff. 1t was stopped in production by his
successor, General Gresser. and the manu-
script only escaped e0nfscaticn and de-
struction when the notorious Borodin, who
was afterward identified a Prince KrapOt-
kline, the Empress chamberlain. fled to
England, where he gave it to Washington
Irving Bishop. the mind reader, who
brought il to the United States, but died be-
fore his hopes were realized of producing it
in free America. Mr.. TyTrell, its present
own er, is endeaY0ring to carry ont the
wshe Of the deceased in staging the piece,
and, no do ubt, he will have strong sym
patty and support from our fellOw-citiZens
Of Jewish birth. A portion of the receipts
derived from the performance of the play
will be applied to help the real sufferers in

And Why Not d?

The talk that is going on about the mar
rage of Ward McAlliSter's nephew with a
ballet-girl recalls to the New York Com
mercial Advertiser an interesting incident in
the life of Joseph jefferson, the comedian.
When jefferson returned from his tfumphal
engagement in London number of New
York swells determined to honor the actor
who had made so great a stir in England.
Ac ordingly splendid dinner was given to
jefferson, and all the conspicuous represen-
tatives Of Gotham swelldom were there. Ii
befell that on the very morning of the day
when this banquet was served Jefferson's
son, Tom, married very pretty and estima-
bic girl who had been O member of one of
the spectacular ballets. So, during the ban
quet, one of the guests "a very swell person
aGeD referred to newspaper item in which
Toms prospective wedding was mentio ed.
"Yes, it is true said Mr. jefferson. tom
was married to-day" But it is not true,
suppose, that he married a balet-girl?"
inquired the aristOcratic person. Yes, it is
true" answered Mr.. jefferson, laconically.
"Ah, did not suppose you would allow
your son to marry a ballet-girl," said the
other "And why not?" asked Mr.. Jeffer-
son. His mother was baliet-girll" The
