tune" at the Fifth Avenue theater in New
York. His audiences have been testing the
capacity of the theater. and he has, in all
likelihood. a play that is second, In point Of
financial success, only to that of THE
Senator" "a Fool OF Fortune" by the
way, is the eighth play by Martha Morton
that has been successfully produced, and
the third one Of her works that Mr.. Crane
has presented.

ance Town" at the Grand. 1t is familiar
farce comedy and has been one of the con-
spicuous successes in that line. The cast

Mrs. Patrick Campbell has taken the part
Of the wife in Little Eyolf'' in London,
which gives her far more chance as an in
terpreter of Ibsen than the curious charac-
ter of the Rat woman. In spite OF the de-
nuuciation of the press, Little Eyolf" con-
tinues to draw audiences. Suderman's
'Magda'' is also popular when Mrs. Camp
bell is in the cast. She is certainly the best
exponent of the modern school among En-
Slish actresses, but whether she would
have successful tour in this country is
another matter.
Leon hermann, nephew of the late
Alexander Hermann, the magician, will
fill his uncles dates. The young man Is
now in Italy, where he has established
himself as magician of high rank, and
his coming to America will be watched with
interest 1t is said that Herrmann's widow
has nothing out of her husbands estate
save the appliances for his stage perform
ances. Although a great money maker. the
magician always lived up to his income.
Even his life insurance policies, which are
very large, are hypothecated.
Some idea of the tendencies of the Italian
dramtists may be gathered from the mo-
tives of several new plays acted there. In
one young married woman makes her
lover marry an ugly niece of hers in order
that she may keep him faithful to her. He
consents to the contract, but rebels against
it when he begins to love his wife. At this
his former mistress, who had arranged the
marriage, becomes discouraged and leaves
the country with her old husband. In a
rustic play a man blinds his wife with
vitriol, emigrates to America, and when
he is rich returns to Italy and is forgiven
by her. Really the flower of this nosegay
is a one-act play in whicn deputy goes
to seize courtesan's furniture and dis
covers that the woman is the wife who
abandoned him several years before. The
husband begs the woman to return to him
but she declines and goes in search of
somebody who will pay the debts on her
possessions.

The recent death in Paris of NJ. lie VII
comte Clary, at the age of 3d. brought up
again the most famous case of mistaken
identity in legal history. Founded on this
case is the play, ''Thes Lyons Mail" which is
one of the most popular melodramas in En-
glish history. LIE Vicomte Clary was coun-
sci for the family of the man who suffered
unjustly, and worked hard to no avail to
have the sentence reversed.
1t was way back in 1886 that Joseph Le-
surques was executed for highway robbery.
Lesurques was but SO years old, good hus-
band and father and possessed of a small
fortune. It was in order to give his chill
dren better educational advantages that he
threw up a small government position in
q provincial town and came to Paris with
his pretty wife and interesting family. He
had just arrived in the capital and was
experimenting the furnishing of his new
home when the news came of the robbery
of the mail coach plying between Lyons
and Paris, the position and courier being
murdered. There were no witnesses to
the crime, but party of horsemen had
been seen in the vicinity. A man named
Guenot, friend of Lesurques, was arrest
ed on suspicion. but it was found that his
alibi was perfect and 1t was a case of mis-
taken identity. He was told to call at the
Bureau Central for his papers. He went
there accompanied by Lesurques, his
friend. No sooner had the two entered
the room before two maid servants of a
town near where the robbery occurred
shrieked in unison and declared the two
were the robbers. They were Immediately
arrested. Other witnesses swore positive
ly that Lesurques was one of the horsemen,
but Guenot was considered doubtful. Re
markable condolences which seemed dia-
bolically planned by fate combined to
weave circumstantial evidence about Le-
surques and he was condemned and exc
cuted. After his death a doubt arose and
finally it was discovered, all too late, that
he had suffered through his extraordinary
resemblance to Dubosc, the real criminal
who was brought to justice in 1901.
The saddest part of the affair was that
LesurqueS young wife, on learning of her
husbands fate, went insane. So did one of
the maid servants whose testimony as to
Lesurques identity was instrumental in
convicting him. When the Lesurques chill
dren grew up they were possessed of but
one idea-that of clearing their fathers
name. One of the daughters, through
brooding on the tragedy, also went insane.
Another threw herself into the river, worn
out by fruitless appeals to French law
n son took service in the Russian army and
was killed. Finally, in 1869. it was decided
to tho grief of his descendants, that Lee
surques' name could never be legally clear
ed. as it is impossible in France to Gues-
ton jury's verdict except in person, and,
as Lesurques was dead this was out of
the question. However, the government
has paid his descendants the sum of $50 900.
