A Serennde.

On Monday night, when all our
neighbors had retired to their couches
to give themselves rest from the fizz,
bang, boom, of the glorious 4th,
they were awakened by party OF
serenaders who came into our yard and
gave limitations of hand organ music:
stole our wormy, half ripe cherries, ,and
split the atmosphere with n so-called
hymn, one verse of which jingled
something like this
''In heaven above
Where all is love
There'll be no editors there.n
Now that's consoling stuff to sing to
a fellow whose head is supposed to be
throbbing with 4th of July patriotism!
It's all right though, because il that
bowling mob ever get there we will be
willing to go almost any place else.

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The news comes
from France that William Gillette, the
dramatist, has gained no relief through
his ocean trip, and that it is very doubtful
whether he will be able to return for year
or more. He will therefore not be able TO
see the first production Of his new com
edy, nor has be in fact seen any of the re-
cent dramas and adaptations which his
fertile genius has given to the American
stage in the past two or three years, and
which have brought him fame and for
tune
Exactly what Mr.. Gillette's trouble is
the physicians seem unable TO decide. II
seems to be an affection Of the stomach,
and there are grave fears that il may be
organic. A year ago he went to Florida,
where, while living almost a hermit's life,
he adapted two plays, both Of which were
produced within few weeks Of each
other, and both were great successes. IL
seems strange that a man suffering as Gil
lette was should have been able TO con.
ceive the deliciOusly humorous situations
which were the merit OF both Of these
dramas.
Gillette's instructions 10 the stage man.
ager were almost az concise and laconic az
the celebrated utterances Of Mr.. Alfred
Jingle. They covered broad sheets OF
foolscap paper and read something as fol.
lows: "Have black eyed girl-no apron
no brogue-hands of from hips-shabby,
genteel dress-mustn't roll eyes-that sort
Of character played out" Or, in describing
the leading comedians actions, Gillette's
instructions would be: Hands out Of
ocket-chestnut-dont sit on edge of Ia
ble-another chestnut-don't bang hair
moldy chestnut" And so he went on
through many folios, describing in that
curt and crisp manner what his idea Of the
appearance and movements Of the actors
and actresses should be. There were more
pages Of instructions Of this sort than there
were manuscript sheets Of the play itself,
and this illustrates no doubt the reason
for much Of the success Gillette has at
tanned as dramatist.
His literary ability, however, is his by
Inheritance. He was born and reared in
Hartford and amid that literary set which
has given TO Hartford high name rs a
literary center. The traditions of the fam
lily, however, were remote from those
which would enkndle dramatic interest.

United States senator and was candi-

WILLIAM GILLETTE.

date for governor Of Connecticut, was a
man Of great piety, and in his latter years
especially distinguished himself by his adj
vOcacy OF the doctrine that animals have
souls. BY marriage the family was con
nected with Henry Ward Beecher and
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, who was a
near neighbor Mark Twain has been for
twenty years another neighbor. Thus Gil
lette's early training while literary, was
also of religious bent.
lie was, however mimic and a wit
from childhood, and he only followed out
this inclination when be took to the stage
and afterward to playwriting,
With Bronson Howard, Gillette has been
the most fortunate Of American play
wrights, but be won his victories more
easily than Howard did. Howard was
writing plays without success merely 20
get his prentice hand in while Gillette
was a schoolboy in Hartford. The two
men differ in their theories. Howard be-
lieves that playwriting is an art or sci
ence which can be learned just as archi-
lecture can, and in an analogous way
Gillette believes that the successful play
wright must have some knowledge OF the
stage from behind the scenes, but having
that knowledge ne may perhaps be able TO
make a successful play upon his first at
tempt Certainly Gillette has no trunk
full of plays, such as Howard possessed
before he made his first success. The first
play that Gillette wrote was a success;
perhaps because he played in 1t, and he
has scored no failures.
Mr.. A. NJ Palmer, the veteran manager,
aud in some respects the ablest dramatic
authority in the United States, said to the
writer not long ago that he regarded Gil
lettes play Held by the Enemy" as per
