With reference to q certain amateur
dramatic club or company" which
was organized . few months ago, q cor
respondent writes the Standard n
lengthy communication. From the tone
OF the letter. II may be judged that the
writer feels piQued at the delay exhib-
ited BY the Anaconda Dramatic conn
pany" In presenting Its first perform
ance. AT any rate no one seems to have
heard much about the amateur dra-
matte club lately and the communica-
ton may have the effect Of reviving in
terest In It. The letter IL as follows:

Companies intending to educate the

The two extremes. comedy and legit-
innate drama. have been struggling for
supremacy for some time pasta game
closely contested before the theater-
going public an q Judge. The strife has
ended and once more the 1egit' OF the
old school will be hailed before the foot
lights. The habitual theatergoer, the
average man and woman who 60 to be
amused will hardly appreciate this
heavy work In drama But to students
OF Shakespeare and to all who would
understand the passions that move hu-
manity, portrayed as they exist. II will
be hailed with Joy. The charge brought
against the modern drama is the mis-
representation OF everything true In
nature.

imagination are practiced. probability
violated and language depraved.
THE Anaconda Dramatic company
was organized three months ago. and its
members, many of whom have had pro-
fessional experience, have been working
hard for its interests. In the face of
this fact not q play bill nor a window
hanger is in sight. while the Anaconda
public has been waiting for the pro-
duction of the first play. Rumor has
it that the company has resolved itself

as the Office is considerably short of

cording to its revenue, II il expected

MEAT IN GERMANY.
Are Agltntlng In Favor of
American Products.

Consul Mason at Frankfort reports
to the state department that the great
increase in the price of meat that has
taken place this year in Germany has
produced a powerful agitation against
the high duties and numerous restric.
tons by which the government has
nearly stopped the importation of live
animals and greatly increased the price
of meat products, The increase in the
price has been so great that there has
been a decided decrease in the amount
consumed, the Berlin butchers having
received 50,491 more animals last year
than during the present one. AS a
result of the high price of fresh meat
there has been Il marked increase in
the amount of cured meats imported.
This is peculiarly advantageous to the
United States, which can export meat
products to Germany far more readily
than live stock.
For the first seven months of this
year imports of hogs into Germany fell
off 10000; calves, 5000; cows, 1000,
but on the other hand the importation
of cured meats largely increased, The
total imports of fresh pork jumped
from 100000 pounds to more than
double that amount; fresh beef from
100000 to 100000 pounds; bacon
from 100000 to 34,00OOOO pounds.
American exporters came in for a
large share of this increase, their ship
ments of fresh pork. fresh beef and
bacon being more than doubled The
largest decrease is imports of live
stock into Germany during the last
three years was shown in pigs. In
1895 the number was 347,S14, but in 1897
it fell to 01,SSO, while importations of
cows fell from 1912 to 73.77S.
