it is a debate on women. The play is

There are few plays Of the modern
school drama which have held the stage
longer than The Corsican Brothers,"
which Dumas evolved while at the hight
Of his popularity. and in which Robert
Mantell will be seen tomorrow night.
Its weird and startling dramatic effects,
visions and apparitions have caused the
world to wonder at his gen US. Although
he has written an almost countless num-
Der Of romances, yet in none OF them do
his gifts as a novelist appeal TO better
advantage than in this stirring dramatic
romance Of the twin brothers, del Fran
chi. Its first production as drama
took place at the Theatre Histrionique,
Paris, in 1850, with the talented actor,
Charles Fechter, in the leading roles. 1t
was also played by Eechter in England
and America, and everywhere it achiey ed
a brilliant success. Revivals of the drama
have taken place every few years, since
then, and the latest will be that offered
by Robert Mantell. In the dual role Of
Louis and Fablen del Franchi. In this
play Mr.. Mantell has an excellent oppor
tunity to display his abilities as a roman
tic actor and his sudden changes from
the melancholy Louis to the gay and
light-hesrted Fabien have gained him
the favor Of the mot captious cri les
II is said he does his best work in the
fifth and sixth acts of the play. The
scenes in these acts are intensely emo
tlonaI, and in them Mantell appears to
the greatest advantage. In the fifth act
there is wonderful duel introduced.
which has the merit that few dueling
scenes possess, that of belonging natural
ly to the story of the play.

There was once a ventriloquist 81
poor that he was obliged to travel OF
foot from town to town to save ex

gentleman Of adventure in Grimm's
tales One day he was joined on the
road by dog as forsaken as himself
but who seemed DESTROYS Of becoming
his companion.
They journeyed together to the next
town, and entered the tavern, tired.
hungry and pennless. Not being
troubled with the inconvenient refine
ment which comes from long line OF
gentle ancestors, the man had deyeI-
oped the quality known as cheek, SO
he and the dog sat down to eat sup
per for which they could not pay.
The room was full Of 1oungers, and
the stranger took a conspicuous seat.
''What will you have?" asked the only
waiter the place Employed; and the Or
der embraced nearly everything on the
bill of fare
"But I want something for my dog,
too he added ''Ask him what he
will have" The waiter muttered some
thing about "'Whatcher giving u.s." SO
the stranger said: What, don't you
like to? Well, Bruno, will you have
beef or fsh?''
''Beef every time," said Bruno, look
ing with mild, brown eyes at the
| waiter
'And what to drink?"
Water, thank you," said Bruno.
By this time the landlord and every
one in the place were eager with sup
pressed wonder, and gathered about to
hear a dog talk.
The wentriloquist feigned indiffer-
ence ay eating with avidity, while the
| landlord was evidently considering

dollars for his wonderful talking dog.
The wentriloquist appeared to hest

When the money was paid and the

ACCURATE CROP REPORTS.

Secretary Morton Addressed Board of
Trade Delegates on the Subject
WASHINGTON, April fG.-At the meet
ing of the National Board of Trade
delegates yesterday Secretary of Agri-
culture Morton, being asked to address
the gathering, said he presumed the
delegates were aware they were
entering upon an inquiry of great
gravity and difficulty. 1t was matter
between two great classes, the pro-
zducer and consumers, as to what was
needed, he said, in order to get accu-
rate statistics. He said an annual
crop, census was needed, after which
approximate facts ofcrop acreage could
be obtained. Some persons thought
this WIS too costly. He had dis
cussed the matter with the presi-
dent aud had believed it was the only
way. 1t had been estimated it would
cost 100000 a year, but the secretary
believed, even If 1T should cost three
times las much as this, it would be
honeywell expended. He assured the
members present that the agric ultura1
department was anxious to cooperate
with them in improving the crop re-
ports.
