Scribe had a way of making every single
thing said or done on the stage impinge
upon the development of the plot. He was
a terrible stickler in this matter. One day
he said to young beginner who had come
to him for advice: MY dear young friend,
your hero leans a gun UP in the corner Of
the room in the first scene; and that gun
does not go off once in the whole play.
What do you want me to say of piece in
which there is such a tremendous flaw in
dramatic constructions"
IF my audiences" says Joseph jefferson,
do not bid me farewell until 1 bid them
farewell l confidently expect to be with
them for a year or two more at least. do
not know whether 1 shall make public re-
tirement or quietly sneak OUT probably the
latter. Shakespeare says, 'Superfluous lags
the veteran on the stage. l hope to detect
my waning powers before you do, and go
quietly down and out, instead of waiting,
like the dog whose day is past, to be kicked
down stairs and out.
Il do not wish to appear in anything but
modest light" writes Charles H. Hoyt,
"but it seems to me that the man who
starts out to be a writer of farce-comedy
has much more difficult task on hand
than has the author of a serious dramatic
output. 1 will tell you why. The theater-
goer that attends performance of a le-
climate drama expects to find a structure
to the piece, and gets it. and when he goes
to see a farcical comedy he does not ex
pect anything of the kind, yet it must be
given him or he will, be dissatisfied In
writing a piece like A Stranger in New
York, for instance / must, as it were sub
merge the dramatic action without drown
ing it. Those in the audience expect special
ties and advertisements, but are not sup
posed to be sitting out a variety perform
ance. Therefore l must be a dramatist
without letting anyone find it out. / have
been told by my enemies that no one has
yet found that out. But as a gentleman
much more famous than ! am once re-
marked That is another story

AMERICAN PUGILIsT BEsTED.
Patsy Haley Defeated by VIII CurIey
in u TventN-Round Bout.

NEWCASTLE. England, Nov. SWIM
Curley of England, tonight defeated Patsy
Haley, of America, in a boxing contest in
twenty ROUNDS. The contest caused great
excitement in sporting circles and the at
tendance broke the record. The betting IA
vored the American. Curley had the advan-
tage of two and a half inches in height
which prevented his adversary from dis
playing his cleverness to the full extent
The exchanges in the early part of the
battle were only slight. Curley, being much
superior in science, held big lead. In the
final rounds Haley made a plucky attempt
to get on even terms with his opponent. but
it was of no avail The latter maintained
his smart attacks to the very close of the
twentieth round and secured a decided vic
tory.

HEART STRAIN and irritation II al
/ lowed to continue are almost certain to
affect the muscles or substance of the
heart, causing irregular and imperfect cir
culation of the blood. This will lead to con-
gestion and disease of the liver. kidneys,
lungs, brain and other organs. 1t is useless
to take medicine for liver or lungs unless
the cause Of the trouble is first attended
to. Every heart that flutters, palpitates,
tires out easily, aches, has darting pains,
etc, is weak or diseased, and should not be
neglected, lest complications arise which are
beyond the reach of medicine, and the OPP
portunity for recovery shall pass by for
ever. There is no remedy so good. safe or
economical to strengthen and regulate the
action of the heart as Dr. Miles's New
Heart Cure.
Mr. j. H. Dobbins, for years well-known
and respected business man at Richmond,

King for ten, the latter making touch
down in the corner of the field. Hubbard
missed a difficult goal Score: Indiana, TO-
De PAW, 0. De Paw again kicked off,
and Indiana was steadily gaining when the
half ended, with the ball in the middle of
the field.
Second Half-Hubbard kicked off for In
diana. Roller advanced twelve yards on an
off-side play. Indiana held her opponents
and they were forced to punt, Indiana get
ting the ball. Indiana was given ten yards
on an off-side play. Indiana then continued
her line plays. Youtsler gained five yards,
Cooper three, Ray ten, Hinchman one,
Cooper three. King two, Pike three, Hinch-
man four, and YoutSler made touchdown,
but Hubbard failed to kick goal. Score:

Hammerstein n Good RecuperafOr.
Oscar Hammerstein has taken heart on
account of the scores Of letters of condo
lence received over his assignment and is
preparing for another start in theatricals.
On Thursday he made an assignment, and
on Friday he began composing the music
for a new spectacle he hopes to produce
some time in the future, and, maybe, not
in the very distant future, either.
The Olympia manager was a pretty sick
man on Thursday night, and no wonder,
with all the troubles he had on his hands,
but since then he has been resting-and
composing-at his New York home. and
he has almost entirely regained his health
and spirits He has received nearly five
hundred letters of coincidence and sympathy
from theatrical people all over the world,
and these, of course, have done great deal
toward putting him on his feet again. He
has also received a score or more offers for
the lease of the Olympia and also for La
Poupee," some of which he's considering
and others he isn't Z, e. Rice would like
to take the Lyric Theater. Messrs. George
w. and James l.. Lederer want the whole
building. Mr.. Henry b. Sire is bidder for
the big playhouse, and there are a few
more including Mr.. Warner. of London,
who has cabled for information as to the
situation. Then, too. there are some capt.
taIists who want Mr.. Hammerstein to form
a stock company
"Of course said Mr.. Hammerstein, "ev-
erything is in a muddle now and can't de-
eide about anything. I'm going down to
Olympia, though, and get things straight
ened out as quickly as possible. Then I'll be
ready to talk business"
AS to La Poupee," Mr.. Hammerstin is
to meet Mr.. Francis Wilson for talk on
that subject Mr. Wilson said that some of
his friends thought it would be a good idea
for him to take the opera, and he didn
know himself but what it would be to his
advantage if he could get it on reasonable
terms. His scheme would be to produce 1T
in Boston or Philadelphia, and then bring
it back to New York.
Il think the piece would just suit Will
son." said Mr.. Hammerstein. Della Fox
Edna Wallace Hopper, but it would just fit
Wilson and Miss CHASER. I'm not going to
let it go for nothing. though, and, for that
matter, under my contract / shall have to
retain nominal management, at least, what
ever is done with it"
