A point in theatrical law has been
tried by the French courts. The mail
ager of a theater ut Cannes engaged
Mile. Rita d'Arzac to play soubrette
and ingenue parts. For the greater part
of the season the young lady appeared
nightly, to her own satisfaction and
that of the house, as a swcetly innocent
young thing or us a comely and modest
maid. 1t fell on u day, however, that
another lady of the troop was taken i'll
and had to be replaced Her role was
the principal Il in the piece. 1t was
offered to Mile. d'ArZac, who, to the
general establishment, Indignantly re-
fused it. Never before perhaps in the
annals Of the theater had an actress de-
clined to be promoted to the rank of
leading lady. Of course Mile. d'Arzac
had her reasons. The character she was
asked to play vas that of Il lamcntably
Tightly young person. Mile. d'Arzac was
appalled, at the thought of impersonau-
ing this incorrigible baggage and endei
by flutly refusing the proffered part,
whereupon her manager stopped her
salary. She sued him for the same ard
her case. Henceforth nobody will
be able to say that the proprictics are not
safegrarded in France, and once more
virtue, SO often i'll requited in real life.

full. But my heart was dried up. I only
felt like u man accursed, and y devil
and a sinner not to be forgiven. And
took ms AK and sharpeno1 it till could
shave a big slice of horn OF the palm
of my hand, just as the sun was like
blood on the foothills west of me. And
Gods light Went wholly out of me. I
took the AK into my Grange grove, and
I destroyed all the trees. Some / cut
down and scmeI barkcd, and the young
olives l destroyed and what / could of
the vineyard. For l worked all night
by the light of the moon till the dawn
came. hut even then ! was not tired
no., nor did l feel 1 had done aught to
tire me. And when the dawn came up l
fired my house and the stable l had
built, and I took my horse out, which l
had trained and broken, hut was no
longer mine. And 1 shot it there, yes, l
the heavy dust, and l did not care one
bit, nor was l sorry.
"Then l put on my hat and walked
up into the hills for fear folks should
come, for folks who had not harmed
me I did not want to harm, though l
did not love them any more than j
loved then my wife and my girls in the
east. And l knew if l met Il man and
had the a. in my hand | should kill
him.
And l walked for three days, so far
as l know, without food, and when l
came to myself 1 was far away. Then l
knew l had done a most evil thing, a
thing hated by God. For l saw what a
small thing / was, and l knew that the
work of Il man was for himself, and !
knew that no MAJ can work for him
self. l saw that the lawyer could not
have kept what he took. He, too, must
have died, hut still my beautiful trees
would have been fruitful. And l had
killed them. and by doing that l had
destroyed Il great part of myself. l
bowed my head in the dust, and Il great
anguish came yer me.
"For if my orchards and my vine
yards and my groves had still been
fruitful l could have said to myself,
'You have worked and have been re-
warded if not as you desired But now
my life was barren, Il my labor vast

if l could only undo it l would die hap

WHO FATHERED THE NOTE
Upon Which the Government Pronounced the
Prisoner Guilty-The Ministry Fails to
Respond TO the Query

Paris, Dec. 7.-IWh the opening form
alfties of the senate had been concluded
the president, NJ. Isoebef, announced
THAT M Schuerer-K. stner desired to fn-
terpellate the government through M.
Melin and Minister of War NJ. Blot, in
reference to the proes dings in the cham
Der regarding The case Of Alfred Dreyfus.
The premier signifed his willingness to
answer amy questions regarding the case.
M. Schuerer- Kestner reviewed tine
Dreyfus case. stating that the captain
had been falsely convicted. He stated
that h- had documents to prove his in
nocence, and although he had not deliv-
cred them into the premier's hands he
had shown them to him.
81 told,' continued M. Sclauerer-K est-
uer. '1the premier ON. Melin) that he
could publicly declare me mistaken If he
could show proofs that Dreyfus was
guilty. M. Melln, however, refused 10 do
so, and also dec1ined to consider my ev-
idence concerning the anonymous note.
If Dueyfus was rot convicted on the
anonymous note, then the charges were
not communicated to the defense"
He stated that the authorship of the
anonymous note was the crux of the
whole question. He said he was GER
tain that it was not written by Dreyfus,
and asked that the matter be re-examsn-
ed The speaker did not wish to preju-
dice the results of the inquiry. but he
asked if the minister of war, General
Blot, had acted justly in publicly de-
claring Dreyfus guilty
The minister for war, General Blot,
replied that M. Scvhuerer-Kestner had
submitted to him no evidence. He had
contended, the minister explained, that
an anonymous note was the basis of the
whole affair, and if it was shown not to
have been written by Dreyfus, the lat
ter ought to be accorded a new trial.
The present inquiry, continued the
minister of war, did not concern Drey-
flIs but concerned Major Esterhazy,
whose letters bitterly rejecting upon
France and the French army, were re-
Gently published by the Figaro. The war
office, he declared. had done its duty,
and the various documents. including the

provides.
The secretary of the navy. Admiral
Won Tirpitz, said that the fleet was in
adequate and that the German govern
ment was obliged to send away all its
efficient cruisers and even employ train
ing ships as men of war. The influence
of cruisers abroad depended chiefly upon
the power known to stand behind them,
navy. fleet or battleships.
Herr Lieber. the=center party leader,
said his party had not got dHelr votes
ready. but thought the time had come
for the legislature to get the navy ready,
and If the government would promise
that the expenses should be shared by
those parts of the world proflted, nine
tenths of the opposition to the bill would
