at the place mentioned he was mysteriously
murdered and no trace could be found OF his
murderer. General Noble has undertaken TO
unravel the mystery. out OF sympathy for the
widow, and engaged her as governess 10 his
little daughter. One OF the passengers on the
steamer Is Philip Varney. an alleged pork
packer and spec ouiatOr of Chicago representing
himself as man of wealth, who Is introduced to
General Noble and his family. The general
is struck with his remarkable resemblance TO
one Peter Lepper, who was StOreEeeper IN the
northwest during the Indian troubles, and who
was suspected Of being the murderer OF Archie
Warren. The general, upon reflection. concludes
that the resemblance is simply accidental. The
party arrive at Long Branch, go TO the West End
Hotel, and while there another coincidence hap
pens to arouse the suspicious OF General Noble.
AT the time Archie Warren's murder took place
he had upon his person three 500 bills, the
numbers OF which he had given to his wife in a
letter written just before his death. Mrs. No
bic, during General Mobiles absence. is pressed
for some money by her dressmaker and is
obliged TO accept the prOffered loan of this Mr..
Phillip Varney. who iE the meantime has be-
come an attentive admirer OF Mrs. NobIes.
Varney loans her 500 in a single bill. which
she hands 10 her governess, who recognizes the
number OF the bill, and upon examination dis
covers IL to be one OF the three bills previously
mentioned, fastening the crime OF Archie War
ren's murder upon Phillip Varney.

have stepped across the English Channel and
will follow the English actors by TWO choice
selections from the French stage-Mme. Jane
Hading and NJ Coquelin. This Will be the sec.
oDd engagement of these celebrated artists In
this city and should be more successful than
the first. Such acting as is given by this com.
pany is rarely met with anywhere. NJ.
COquelin has long been the premier comedian

name has long added luster 10 the French
stage, and he has been acknowledged as The

is 10 be hereafter the successor of Sarah Bern

her engagement In Paris at the Comede next
September, and Is TO continue there for the next
five years, which precludes her being seen dur
ing that period outside OF Paris. The engage

brilliant comedy, which gives both Of these
clever artists an excellent opportunity. NJ.
Coquelin as The adventurer Annibal Is seen at

Meilhac, Haevy, BissOn and other wel-known
French authors. During the first week both
Coquelin and Hading will appear nightly. In

The action OF Long Branch" takes place
mainly at The West End Hotel, the pride of
that fashionable watering place, and one of the
scenes will present TO The audience lumber of
pretty girls about to take a dive into the
breakers that lose themselves on the strand.
In addition 10 the comedy element there is an
interesting dramatic story connected with the

Mrs. Kendal's Bad Break.

The Philadelphia Inquirer makes the folloW-
ing comments on this interview:
Mrs. Kendall has evidently been bard hit. OF
all the interviews which actors and actresses
have given TO the public for probably genera
ti0n not one has shown as much pque at the
failure which wrung them from the speakers,
or more resentment toward those who had rem
dered the unfavorable verdict. And not one
which can now be recalled was in more ex.
eerable taste.
The provocati0n for the interview was the
fact that the New York critics had not dealt
gently with her Second Mrs. Tanqueray," The
play IN which she is now appearing. They have
called the play unnatural and told her bluntly
that she had better eOnfne herself 10 roles OF a
more pleasing character. Both suggestions
were within the lines of legitimate dramatic
criticism and should have heen ac-
cepted by her with some of the
sweetness with which she accepted
unlimited fatlery from the same papers a year
or two ago. Her answer is a Sneer al the fresh
ness OF the American people, and an admission
that she meets the Mrs. Tanqueray type OF
women frequently in her own social circle. We
had not thought it OF her, but, OF course, accept
her own testimony and pity her accordingly,
for the Mrs. Tanqueray she portrays Is DOT
very desirable person 10 meet.
In still worse taste are her illusions to her
own private lie and the high admiration which
americans have held for her in consequence.
The artistic sense must be abnOrmally
developed or abnormaly piqued when one
of her standing practically tells the pub
lie she prefers its praise for her work to
Its respect for her character. IL the two
were Inconsistent there might be some excuse
for the position she assumes. but the two are
not inconsistent. Ii might also bs pardonaDle
II her work had not been praised before. 1t IS
not so in view of the facts. Indeed,
the only commendable portion OF the
entire column in which she resents her
failure is that in which she disclaims
superior virtue as an actress or woman,
truth presumably which the interview does
much to confirm. We are quite sure the lady's
press agent did not read the publication before
1t was sent out or the ndiscriminate sneers at
the whole body Of American society for the
faults Of few would never have been embodied
