Playwrights and Literary Men.

A common misrepresentation among lit
erary men, that is to say, versitiers and
noVellsts, is that literature is a matter of
words, thing of collocation and or
thoepy; whereas its chief and essential
junction is to express sentiment and
thought, and the composition of an I'M
presslVe painting involves like process
OF thought through which n poet would
nave TO pass in writing on the same Incl
dent. The picture may be more effective
tnan the poem. The poem must be read.
The picture must be SEEM Now, the
tendency OF the true drama is to symbol

economy III words is one of the resslnp
needs III Vl,alIzing strong action. The
dranatlsi, however happy he may be in
MS dlctlon, knows that the literary trick
can only give finish or incidental aid;
tIat drama IS not Il literary thing at all,
i'll the sense of being hammered together
out OF words; and that, III fact it is no
drama unless 1t remains incomplete in its
effectiveness until it is acted. But even
II the literary part Of it be inconsider-
aDle, yet, II 1t accompiishcs worthy pur-
pose, IL Is literature. If the novelist or the
poet wishes 10 enter tho field lie must

there Is no room Tor the work OF anna

a Few Persons.
Certain lawyers are again industriously
encouraging few persons to believe that
they are heirs to several million dollars
worth of property in the heart OF New
York City.
Several generations, it is said, have
been freely bled by as many generations
of lawyers, and each crop of heirs" has
pungled to the latter's demands as freely
as their fathers did.
The latest in regard to this scheme
comes from San Diego, two citizens OF
which place have been selected as vic
Tins. They are told that their share
amounts to 100000, and the schemers
never fail To tell how the ESTATE" includes
the Trinity Church property.
Even Sacramento has it's heir pre-
sumptive to this fabulous wealth-one of
the most prominent citizens, of course,
for poor man would be a very undesir-
able client.
Last week the story was telegraphed
from Santa Rosa. now from san Diego,
