THE GENESIS OF A NEW PLAY.
BY WILLIAM GREER HARRISON.

1t may seem rather an odd thing, but it's a
fact, that an argument l got into last April,
at the bohemian Club, was the cause of my
writing "Runnymede.
Warde and l had been talking one evening
about Shakespeare, and somehow we had
drifted off into discussion about his knowl-
edge, OF woodcraft wild animals and wild
flowers. We agreed on most subjects, but
somehow we could not quite hit it off about the
woodcraft Suddenly Warde exclaimed:
How should like play with all the scenes
laid in the woods. Harrison, write me one in
four acts, representing the four seasons, and
go away to a forest to compose ii. Go soon,
too"
l took the matter joke, and called out:
"Waiter, bring me four drinks and four cigars,
and bring them in hurry"
We had our drinks and smoked our cigars. 1
did not think anything more about the play
till half an hour later. Warde began again:
"I like that idea of the four seasons, Harri-

which has been so long hindranee to the IN

While shortsighted persons may argue that the
tax falls upon the capitalists, experience

and on a liberal scale, is always made by tnelh

TO PRESERVE THE FOREST.
Surveyor-General Green Would Have
the Three Southern Re-
serves Resurveyed.
His Plan to Have Monuments of Iron
Made Here Has Been Approved
at Washington.

Surveyor-General w. S. Green is calling
for bids for the resurvey of the three
Southern California forest reserves-173
miles to establish the lines of the San Ber-
nardino forest reserve. 154 miles for the
San Gabriel, and forty miles for the Ira
buco Canyon reserve, according to execu-
tive proclamation.
There is to be little innovation this
time in the form of iron monuments in
stead of the customary wooden stake so
given to being eaten up the goats. carried
away by hunters and miners, floods and
fires. 1t is an effort to establish perma-
nent and stable monuments and reduce
the confusion and expense incident to
their loss, chief of which is the necessity OF
frequent resurveys, to a minimum.
''There has been great deal OF fuss in
Congress lately about these reserves, said
Miss Pratt, one of Mr.. Green's chief
lieutenants, yesterday. ''These reserves in
the south harbor about all of the timber
there is i'll that part of the State. The
Government is very careful of it. 1t IS
urged that the attempt to open the re-
serves to prospectors is only subterfuge
timber men. Be that as it may, q resurvey
has been ordered, and in that connection
Mr.. Green has written the department
at Washington suggesting that the monu-
ments to be placed be made of iron. The
department has looked with favor upon
the suggestion and they will be made.

iron, four feet in height, widened at the
base. They will be made hollow and filled

THE ADMINISTRATIONS DEFEAT.

Thursdays vote on the Presidents gold
bond proposition was non-partisan; the
majority which voted no was composed
almost in equal proportions of Democrats
and Republicans. Members felt indignant
at the secret bargain lately concluded be-

London bankers, and still more indignant
at the slap in the face administered to the

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Governor Mckinley will speak on the subject
of the Republican Party at the Michigan
Club banquet, Detroit, February %. Governor
Hastings of Pennsylvania, Hon. Henry Clay
Evans of Tennessee, Hon. H. D. Estabrook,
Hon. C.. H. Aldrich, President Harrison's
solicitor-general, and Hon. w. O. Bradley, who
received the Michigan vote for the Vice
Presidency at the convention of 1888, are other
speakers.
Some one who is very near to Bismarck writes
that the Prince "has his old, venerable, awe
inspiring appearance. His eye is just as fiery
and spirited and he has the same interest in
the events of the world. But otherwise he is
like Rubens, from whom the palette was sud
denly snatched, and who had to look on while,
year after year, his pictures were smeared over
by dilettanti and ruined"
Although Henrik Ibsen is the greatest figure
in Norwegian literature he has really no Nor
wegian blood in his veins, his ancestors, re-
mote and near, having been Scotch Danish
and German. Poverty, neglect and adverse
criticism, the usual attendants of poets, fol-
lowed his early career and intensified his
naturally pessimistic disposition.
Chauneey Depew is not much concerned over
the threat of the Methodist ministers to look
askance at him. The row is all over the half

collected Scriptural authority for refusal to
give passes, and is paying the ministers in their
own coin.
