HAS NO MORE USE FOR ENGLAND.
Oscar Wilde soured by the Fate Of His
Play "salome."


Play "salome."
From the Chicago Tribute.
The eccentric but artistic Oscar Wilde and
England have had a falling out, and from all
appearance their differences seem 10 have ex-
ceeded that point where reconciliation is pos
sible. And "Salome" is responsible for il all
that is to say, ''Salome" is responsible from the
point OF view Of the English public, as repre-
scented by the lord chamberlain. From Mr.
Wilde's view point, however, ''Salome." like
himself, is only an innocent sufferer To him
it is the heathenism and ignorance and inartistic
sense of his countrymen that are TO blame for
his resolution to ALLEVIATE himself from his ma
tive land. Indeed, he has told the English all
this, and, having called them a nation of
shopkeepers and, with few exceptions. race
OF hypocrites, he has announced his
intentions to forthwith transfer himself. heart
and soul and body, to another fatherland, Of
which he has long been enamored. and 20
efectually burn the bridges behind him by
means OF the legal agency of French letters
OF naturalization. And England is to lose an
Oscar Wilde all because its sense of stage pro-
priety could not brook ''Salome''
To guard against the possible criticism that
the sound scoring he has given England and
his resolution to leave it might be considered
q trife far fetched and unwarranted. the
author OF 'Salome" emphatically proclaims:
.tAnd l, moreover, am not at the present an
Englishman at all. Oscar OFlaherty
Wilde-am an Irishmsn, which is by no means
the same thing"
Mr.. Wilde's grievance against England IL
well known by this time. 1t is due to the re-
fusal Of the lord chamberlain. who has the
censorship over the production OF plays in
England, TO authorize the presentation OF the
authors new play "Salome." which is written
in French and in which Sarah Bernhardt was
to have appeared in the title role within the
next six weeks The cause for the action on
the part of the lord chamberlain is that GER
tain scenes from the Bible are represented,
notably the one in which St. Johns head is
brought in on a salver. The scenes are all rev.
erently treated, but the lord chamberlain takes
the ground that the English idea of propriety in
artistic representation is not yet trained up TO
that point. The restriction falls more heavily
upon Mr.. Wilde's shoulders, because the cos
tunes and scenery have been prepared. re-
hearsals have been in progress for the last four
weeks, and Nine. Bernhardt's Interpretation Of
the leading role has promised TO create no small
sensation in London. Little disappointment is
mixed with the authors disgust, however He
says that personally he is much pleased TO have
his premier IN Paris instead Of London, and he
points with satisfaction to the fact that Nine
Bernhard was charmed and fascinated with his
play to the extent that she asked the privilege
to play the title role herself, and all the more
because ''Salome' is by no means a one-role
drama

As to Unsafe Bridges.

The District appropriation bill, which has
now been signed by the President and is a law,
contains provision giving the Commissioners
power to make all needful regulations for
the use Of bridges in the District.
Senator Mcmillan has written letter
TO the Commissioners drawing their attention
to this fact and TO the additional fact that this
provision was inserted with the view Of doing
away tn cases where it was safe with
the regulation only allowing horses to
be walked across the bridges. The
letter says: "Your report to the Senate shows
that the Pennsylvania avenue bridge across the
Eastern branch, the Aqueduct bridge across the
Potomac, the Benning bridge across the Ana
costa branch, the N and N streets
bridges over James creek canal and
the Woodlsy Lane bridge are safe for travel ct
q rate of speed Of six miles an hour. Provision
has been made for Strengthening both the N
and street bridges over Rock creek. II would
be greatly for the convenience Of the public il
