LONDON, October 21.-The birth OF
3 SON to Prince Adolphus OF Teck,
who married the daughter of the
Duke OF Westminster and whose sister Is
Duchess OF York, wife of the heir pre-
sumptive 10 the throne, has raised the
vexed question as TO how he VIII be
styIed. According to German law the
prince, being the descendant OF two
morganatic marriages, has no right to the
title OF prince. In England the title Oh
prince Is not recognized at all, except
in the case OF descendants OF the
sovereign. But the queen has recog-
nized Prince Aoolphus as prince,
and may do the same in the case OF
his son. However. Il the case was
decided by the law, pure and simple, the
son OF Prince Adolphus OF Teck would DO
q plain "miskar."

K. q willard has now definitely de-
cided to supplant the run OF "Ala Dama"
with Jerome X. Jerome's play, "The Re-
demption OF Dick Halward.o - This play Is
already known In America as 1.-The Way
to Win q Woman
Piuero,s new play, "Benefit of the
Doubt was produced at the Comedy
Thvater and was the event OF the week
in the dramatic world. II Is comedy In
three acts and deals with the subject OF
divorce.
The critics warmly praised the produc-
tion. The plot, in brief, is that the ultra
Jealous Mrs. Allingham failed to secure q
divorce against her husband on the ground
OF misconduct with Mrs. Fraser, who II
absolutely innocent. The play turns upor
the subsequent relation between the two
husbands and wives. There was a power
full scene at the end of the second act
where Mrs. Fraser drinks champagne
and under the influence of the wine beg'
Allingham, whose relations with her ar,
only those of friends hip, TO elope, while
Mrs. Allingham, who has come to ash
pardon OF her husband, is listening be
hind a curtain. The play ends with al
unsatisfactory patching up between th'
husbands and wives in the third act
which is very weak.
