A Drama For the Stage. which WIN Noe
He EnNcted In New York.
An American playwriter has been for
some time engaged ia the composition
OF q drama OF contemporary life ia
which the chief character Is to be fa-
nous American statesman, now deceas.
ed The title which no has chosen for
it is "Blaine, Tragedy" It certainly
looks like bad taste to dramatize, at
least in this generation, the career Of
the American here named, but the au-
thor maintains that he can do it inof-
fensiyely and in such way as to dig
Nifty his subject, as the life Of Mr.. Blaine
was full Of dramatic material, and as
there were scenes in it which would 10
especially seryioeable for q drama Of
real life. He says that Shakespeare made
uso Of personages who lived not long
before his time, and even Of some who
were his contemporaries, and he gives
the names Of other playwriters who have
used their acquaintances in their stage
compositions When reminded that even
the greatest and most picturesque Amer
leans Of past times, from the days Of
Washington to those Of Lincoln, had
mover been used successfully for dramat-
10 material. as Shakespeare used the
kings Of England, he replied that this
was thing which would surely yet be
done in this country, rs it has been done
in other lands, and that, in any ovent,
it is his purpose to begin the undertake
ing.
''Is there my manager in New York, "
we asked, who would bring out your
tragedy"
Il do not know, but there is a man
agor in Chicago who will bring it out
II IL suits him.
''Do You not fear that there would be
storm Of popular reprobation IL you
should make your chief character re-
semble the original?'
''If there be anything Of the kind, or
II the work fail to prove attractive, it
will be withdrawn after the first or sec
ond performance. But there are In my
subject such striking clements for 4 first
class stage drama and for winning
ono that shall not think of its failure
until after il has failed "
Would not tho relatives Of the de-
ceased statesman object to the work and
got out an injunction against its per-
formance?"
eff such On objection shall be raised
by any one entitled to speak with au-
thority, or after that ono has been pres
cnt at a performance Of Il, IL will bo
discontinued. Tho man of my title role
has been subject for painters, sculptors
and other artists, and there is no good
reason why no should not be mado q
subject for dramatic artists.
After the playwriter had expressed
tho viows here reported, The Sun report
or asked a theatrical manager as to tho
prospects Of q drama Of tho kind spoken
Of. Ho answered that he did not believe
single respectable manager in New
York or anywhere elso would bring
out, and that. If brought out In

HOW CYCLISTS RACE.
Serious Allegations Against Muir
ply, Cabanne and Titus.
Fixed Three st. Louis Events and
Murphy Spoiled the Scheme.
Each Was TO Have Won, but an
Outsider Carried on Ono.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 31.-The Repub-
lie to-day makes sensational charges
against Charles Murphy. Fred ]. Titus
and L. ID. Cabanne, the three crack.
class b cycle riders who participated In
the Diamond Tournament given in this

OF the League OF American Wheelmen.
There were three class b events on

oach or the three named should win one
OF the events. Cabanne. the paper
says. was to be allowed to take the mile
open. the most important race, as this
was his home.
Murphy. however, so Cabanne and
Titus assert, broke faith and carried off
two OF the races. Terrill. a California
man, honestly landed the third, shut
ting out the two men named.
Alex Laing. a local amateur, who
heard the three class b men discussing
the races afterwards. said that Murphy
gave as an explanation Of his conduct
that his firm ordered him to ride out
the races, having heard Of the agree
ment.
The matter has been called to the at
tention Of the local members Of the Ma
tional Racing Board OF the League The
Offenders may be ruled of for life or for
a period proportionate with the ofYense.
The punishment Is left by the racing
rules to the discretion of the Board.

day to George d. Gideon. Chairman of
