NATIVE DRAMATISTS.
A FEW oNI, HAVE MADE FAME ANC
MONEY.
,s,.s.a. NUr.ssl.sn..snes.I

NEW YORK, Dec. a5.-Eyer since the
foundation Of the republic native plays
have been written, and, which is quite an
other thing, produced. Some of them werO
excellent, but few had a serious purpose
Others, again, like those of Bird, Conrad,
Boxer, were elaborate. had high literary
merit and won deserved SUCCESS, though
now well nigh forgotten, except by stu-
dents of dramatic literature
Until recently, however, native play
writing was so desultOry and indefinite
that there seemed to be little probability
Of such n thing rs the American drama
There are still many doubtcrs and Pcssi-
mistic prophets. but considering what has
already been done 1 regard the future rs
full of promise / am too much of an
American, have too much faith in Amer
lea, not to believe that We shall soon have
q distinctive and characteristic drama, of
which We shall have mason to DO proud
We have Ill the material and equipment
here, and We have begun TO use them to
advantage.
Bronson Howard.
1t is not yet 25 years since Bronson
Howard, n young journalist, n native of
Detroit had n light comedy, named ''Sar-
atoga," accepted by Augustin DAILY, then
manager of the first Fifth Avenue theater.
in Twenty fourth street. He had finished
1t two or three years before its acceptance.

cause it pleases you when seen on the
milliner's block or in your hand.
Await Judgment until it has been placed
upon the head that is to wear it. A
large hat viewed from the showcase fs
an altogether beautiful object, with its
brim full Of undulations and wayward
curves and its nodding feathers, but the
typo of women for which these hats
were originally created back q couple Of
centuries ago had q profile and q pres.
ence Short women, therefore, with
noses that have deteriorated from the
pure Grecian, if wise, will pass these
majestic picture hats by to make their
purchases from cases exhibiting toques,
sailors, garland and other forms Of
headgear better adapted to their special
requirements.
A great deal has been written and
said concerning the extravagant freaks
of fashion in respect to the bonnet o 10
mode for the season of 1S94-5. AS o
matter of fact, however, the outre styles
are created by the second rate American
milliner, who gets her ideas from Paris
and then proceeds to exaggerate them
until Paris would blush at the soft i'm.
parchment if she could but hear it. The
genuine French and best domestic hats
arc neither outre nor extravagant.
The crude coloring and hard mate.
rails of last season have given way to
softer tones of velvet, of which many OF
the new hats are composed. A hat that
shows ono of the most recent develop
ments of the picture hat is black, with
an admixture of the new shades OF
pinky reds. There is an abundance Of
ostrich plumes, as indeed in all tho new
models they are introduced with q
most liberal hand, but the shape is
quite different from any that have been
worn in previous seasons. The front
curves upward from the face, and it IL
shallow Mt the sides. Those who under.
stand the laws regarding the confgura-
ton of the head and what best suits
those with large, small or uncommoniy
developed craniums will recognize the
merits of this particular shape.
A pretty toque has its crown covered
with jet stars and encircled with bands
of black velvet. Green and pink satin
ribbons are arranged in loops at the
sides and bows at the back. There are
Jet ornaments between the loops and a
black osprey at one side. A new bonnet
seen has full crown of cerise velvet, q
jet coronet and ornaments. There are
black satin bows and strings. An addi
tional trimming is black feather POM
pom, with n black osprey in the center.
Rhinestone crowns that glitter like
diamonds and in wide open designs.
showing the hair beneath, are on very
elaborate bonnets and hats that have
narrow brims made up Of black satin
and velvet baby ribbon plated togeth-
er. Pink roses without foliage, set about
singly. giving the effect of rosettes, are
the trimming, to which white aigrets
are added. Wired loops of black velvet
stand high ut tho back. Braided strips
of felt and satin are used on the small

and. like his father. chose the law rs
his profession. He studied i'll Paris. and
while n frequentrr of the Latin quarter
abandoned the law, owing to n throat
difficulty. and plunged into political
journalism and politics. In connection
with Gambetta and Challemel- Lacour
he founded The Revue Politique. which
was soon suppressed 10y the imperial au-
thorities OH account of its republican
tendencies. During the siege of Paris he
was submayor Of the city. hut resigned
on account nf differences with the au-
thorities
He was elected To the assembly in
1871, where he soon made a name for
himself, and in 1879 he became vice
president of the chamber of deputies.
He was a great friend of Gambetta. and
in 1881 succectlcd that statesman rs
president of the chamber. He was re-
elected president in 1881. and upon the
downfall of VI. Jules Ferry in 1885 he
became premier of France. but soon
gave way TO NJ de Freycinet. When the
Panama scandal shook France to its
foundations not long ago. he was made
chairman of the committee of inquiry
appointed TO probe the gigantic swindle
and worked at his herculean task until
! his health broke down.
He has long been a formidable aspi-
rant for the presidency of France and is
even now spoken of as NJ. Casimir- Pc
rier's probable successor. When Carnot
was assassinated, he was NJ. Casimir-
Perier's most powerful rival for the
first place within the gift of the French
republic He has an untainted reputation
and is generally considered one of the
! most honest statesmen in France. He is
| q religious man andis almost Puritanical
| in his ideas. He is leading member OF
the Masonic fraternity and an orator
who is always listened tn with respect
| full attention when he makes one of his
comparatively rare speeches. He is q
prominent advocate Of the Peace league.
but he usually supports any aggressive
foreign policy France attempts to pur-
/ sue When he was premier. the late
President Carnot was his minister Of
