MARIE WAINWRIGHTs OPINION OF THE DRAMA.

Marie Wainwright's desertion of the so- called legitimate field of the drama, for the more prosafc and infinitely more prof liable branch called melodrama, has at tracted no little attention this season. Miss Wainwright admits that she could not make both ends meet" in the high class Shakespearean roles, in which she appeared for so many years.
 Our taste for Shakespeare seems to be in somewhat of dormant condition" she says. When there are such artistic pro- auctions as MT. Daly. MT. Irving and many of our own stars have given us, we can hardly lay the blame at the door of the long suffering manager for the non- support of the immortal bard. But, alas, we have fallen upon degenerate times, and we actors and managers must live, and living for us means pleasing the ever fickle playgoer, who must have what he demands. Just now Shakespeare Is not his mood.
 "A few years ago the situation was diff ferent. The stage was not then flooded with the farccal trash that is now inun- dating the good and legitimate. Unless the public wakes up to It's own degener- acy I cannot see what will become of the drama. You see take a rather pessimis-

the Government and the rector of the university.
 .'Who shall bid us stop our paper? Have we not the right of free press; have we not the right of free speech? Shall we maintain our rights? We will. And you, fellow students. will you help us?'
 "Si! sip madly yelled the students. But while their shouts were sounding on the air. mounted regulars and police charged the crowd and captured the editors, despite the frantic defense of their spirited friends.
 The prisoners were taken to Jail, where they spent the night, thus pre- venting the appearance of Fl Latigo on the following morning.
 The next day the students were re- leased. after a law forbidding inf1am- matory speeches, passed seven years before, was read to them.
 The rector of the university refused to allow them to continue their studies. Formal notices of expulsion were hand ed them.
 Immediately a mass-meeting of stu dents was called and all but twenty de- clared that if the two editors were ex- pelled they would quit college with them.
 The rector remained firm, so the stu ! dent body quietly marched out of the building, leaving a handful to uphold the dignity of the institution. The rec tor is the only salaried man in the uni- versity at San Salvador all the other instructors giving their services vol | untari1y, the lawyers and doctors con- | Sider1ng 1t an honor to be chosen to instruct in the medical and law depart l ments.
 The students who had voluntarily marched out of the university rented a suitable building, easily secured in | structors and soon had their own uni versity in good working order.
 That they would go to such lengths shows how determined they are and what factor they will be in the forth coming revolution.
 1 A gentleman who has spent many years In Salvador says that the fact that everything has been compara- 1 lively quiet since the discontinuance of Ell Latigo and the desertion of the State University only goes to show that some definite plan of action has been agreed upon by the dissatisfied
 Merchants are said to be waiting for turbulent times to order their goods for then it will be an easy matter to avoid paying duty.
 l Each little county in Salvador has it's contestant for the Presidential plum, and that is a great point in fa- vor of Gutierrez, for they will be di- vided among themselves. The two principal aspirants are Prudencio AL faro, the present Vice President, and Carlos Melendez.
 Another important factor in the contest is the question as to the where abouts of the 10000 stand of arms that the Ezetas supplied their recruits dur ing the Gutierrez revolution. Nobody knows where those arms are secreted l The probability is that each man hid 1 his own accouterments and that it will be impossible for either side to lay l hands on them
 l It may be a week. 1t may be month l before the revolution breaks out l Which side will win? Who can tell? Not even the professional revolu- l tionist. B. w.
