During Wills and Lorettos comedy turn
last week at the National 4 remark was
made nightly which shows the effect the
war stand of The Times has had in
our present difficulties. During a con-
versation, the first-named of the team
referred To something he had read in the
Washington Truth" The other asked
what paper taat was why The Times, ~
replied Mr.. Wills. and the jest brought
the heartiest kind of applause. frequently
mingled with laughter and often inter
spersed with complimentary remarks.
All OF which recalls a certain ancient
prOverb which relates that straws show

In considering the present war and its
influence on contemporary theatricals has
1t occurred to anyone that the effect of
the strife on summer stock companies in
the big cities will be excellent? There are
number of reasons for this, the chief
one being in the fact that seaside resorts
will be practically deserted through fear
of a Spanish squadron, and the inevitable
result must be that many people who in
varably leave town early in the year will
remain at home. Then there are to be
considered the soldiers shortly to be en-
camped here Both Of these classes of
people must have amusement, and the
theater will be the most rational place to
get it. Still hot weather is to be consid-
cred. there are plenty of country homes

Scott Marble. the talented author of
that charming pastoral. Miss Plaster of
Paris is reported TO be at work on an
other play. This time the modern
Shakespeare has entitled the product of
his facile pen THE Daughters of the
Poor" and it deals with the usual in
cidents that go TO make Scott Marble
plays. In an interview with the repre-
sentative of a New York weekly. the
author acknowledged that he had chosen
for his picture that unique background
for melodramatic successes the Sums
He also defended himself for this by re-
marking that that other great character
painter Charles Dickens. had taken the
poverty-stricken of England to make up
his stories. A type on which Mr.. Marble
puts considerable faith is a Harrigan re-
fiex of an old clothing dealer, who walks
about Hester Street with worn skirts
pinned to a cane. This gentleman will
probably cross and recross the stage at
intervals. As Mr.. Marble has justly OBJ
served: Think of iti'' Two brothers.

blind girl will be its heroine. In the
first act she is evicted from her home
in the tenementsi In the second act she
is abducted In the third act she is res
cued, and in the fourth her wrongs are
all righted! Then. there is a thunder
bolt effect in storm scene and a few
other things of the kind. Altogether,
after careful survey of this brilliant
scenario one comes to the conclusion
that, in his last effort, as in THE Heart
of the Klondike'' and others of his pro-
duction, Mr.. Marble has constructed
perfect play, with but one fault-that
the public can hardly be expected to un-
derstand the vast amount of novelty to
which he treats 1t.

There has been received in the dramatic
department Of The Times a handsome
set of photographs portraying Mrs Fiske
in her two new plays, Love Finds the
Way" and "a Bit of Old Chelsea" The
stars great success in both of these
would be wonderful were it not for her
remarkable genius She is al present in
her eighth week at the Fifth Avenue
Theater New York, and standing room
continues TO be at a premium. Truly
there is not in the length and breadth of
his country another artist TO compare
with Minnie MaddeTn Fiske. Her detail
her finesse, her wonderful skill and her
perfect realization of character, together
with her ability to act her interpretations.
proclaim her TO be, without doubt, the
peer of Duse. Bernhardt and others of the
greatest players the world has ever
known. In the face of her work in these
two pieces AMI in "Divorcons' the allie
cation that Mrs. Fiske is entirely zone
part actress seems quite as false and
nOnsensical as the charge made by cer-
tain theatrical spectators who could not
secure her al their own terms that she
was no longer paying stan. Mrs Fiske
is wonderful woman ana the longer her
profits continue the more faith one NAV
have in the ability of The average theater-

brought a chair and sat down beside
me. He chatted for some time with me
as to my trip, and said he was glad TO
have an American journalist come to
Peru, as he fat that his country was
not properly Known In North Aemrica.
During the conversation, in which
Secretary Neal acted as Interpreter, his
excellency referred to- the wonderful
mineral and agricultural possibilities of
Peru. He said that its mineral regions
had not been carefully prospected, that
Its surface was hardly scratched and
that II 1t had the proper amount of
capital and the right sort of immi-
grafton 1t would be one of the richest
countries Of the continent Upon my
asking his excellency how he regarded
the Introduction of American money, he
replied that Peru would be glad to well
come any Americans that might come
ana that there were many safe invest
ments here which would yield a proflta-
BILE return. He was anxious, he said
TO see an Increased trade between the
sister republics of the United States
and Peru, and hoped that one OF the
translsthmian canals would be pushed
to its completion with that end in view.

During the audience told his excel
lency Of a chat had with President
Mckinley just before leaving Wash
ington, in which our President stated
his anxiety that the two continents
should have better trade relations and
that the business between them should
be greatly Increased, In his talk with
me President Mckinley stated his posi-
ton on this NATTER in strong terms,
saying that the foundation for all such
relations was peace and friendship, and
that might state his hope that peace
would continue, for without 1t business
could not endure. President Pierola
heartily assented to this. He said he
was able to state that Peru was In
safe and settled condition, and that he
thought 1t would continue so. He re-
ferred to the Monroe doctrine, with
which he said he was In thorough ac-
cord, saying that the republics of this
hemisphere should support, aid and
Balta at Its head, and Pierola cams
defend one another in the protection of
their rights as free governments. At

Lima. Peru, April "a. 1898.
II was in company with Mr.. Richard
r. Neal, the secretary of our legation
at Lima, that called upon the presi-
dent this afternoon. His excellency
had appointed p. m. for the audience.
md at that hour we entered the vast,
low, one-story building which forms
the White House and government
offices of this republic. Soldiers in
uniforms of white duck. with guns at
their sides, guarded the doors, and as
we entered the hall we passed by a
company of infantry ready for imme-
date action In case of revolution. Ad-
ditlonal guns stood in racks against the
walls, and my surroundings were those
of a fortress rather than country
where the people are supposed to rule.
This is. you know, land of revolu-
tons. President Pierola came in after
many months of hard fighting, and in
the houses and churches Of Lima you
may yet see the marks why're cannon
balls and bullets went crashing
through. For days the president be-
sIeged the city. The opposing factions
had Calling guns trained upon one
another. and they swept the streets.
The dead were carried out each MORN
many dead horses that they were not
buried, but were covered with coal oil,
and, a match having been applied, were
thus consumed. With The new presi-
dent, Pierola, in and the old president,
Caceres, banished. ther was peace and
q new government, and there Is peace
today. The present administration has
been in power for several years. 1t is
more progressive than any administra-
ton Peru has had for long period,
and under II the country is steadily
Improving. There is an opposition
party, however, and President Pierola
Is too good a soldier to sleep on his

der, and you find soldiers almost every

Auduban,s Journals.

1t is now a good many years since to English
and American readers was presented life of
audubon, tho naturalist, edited by Mr.. Robert
Buchanan from materials supplied by his
widow. 1t seems that the biography was very
unacceptable to the Audubon family, dis
credited as 1t WAS by many errors and in
terlarded with deroga:ory remarks. now
memoir has, therefore, been prepared by
the naturalist's granddaughter, MARIA II.
AUDUBON. and prehxed TO all of his jour-
mails that are extant, the latter, moreover, be-
ing supplemented with geological and other
notes. contributed by DIR. Edward Elliott
Coues. The two volumes which are now pub
lished by the Scribners comprise collectively
about LOO pages and contain many interest
ing portraits and illustrations. Those journals
OF Audubon which record his observations in
Labrador and on the Missouri River have. to a
large extcnt. been superseded by later and
fuller information, but they still of value to
tho historian as embodying contemporary testi-
mony to a state of things which was soon to
pass away. The journals, on the other hand,
which describe tho naturalsts experiences in
England, Scotland, and France will be found at
tractive to the general reader because many OF
the travellers friends were persons OF political.
social. literary. and scientific distinction who
are not yet by any means forgotten. 1t is some

as early as 3g1 Il. c., and It survived tho inde-
pondonco OF Greece, not boing disturbed by
Rome. The federation possessed. In the first
place, q council, apparently composed of an
equal number OF representatives from each city,
and, secondly. n primary assembly made up OF
such members of tho cities as chose TO attend.
Mr.. Grccnidge finds reason to suppose that, as in
the Etolian and Ach@an leagues, the votos
were taken by cities. after three deliberations,
in which any member present might engage.
The hcarnanian assembly. besides deciding
questions of foreign policy. possessed criminal
jurisdiction and the power OF deposing Its own
magistrates. Tho noxt effort at federation
which Crock history has handed down to us
was made by Olynthus. Tho federal govern
ment thero centred only lasted for throe years.
From the little that We can.learn of II, we infer
that tho associated States, besides adopting
common foreign policy. possessed the right of
intermarriago and Of owning land conjointly
with Olynthus and among themselves. The fed
eral union of Arcadia was the outcome OF cxter-
nal forces working on nation already predis-
posed to such form of organization. 1t was

The supreme power of tho Arcadian Confederaoy
was vested In q largo assembly which is gener-
ally spoken Of as the "Ten Thousand" though
1t Is difficult to believe that 1t contained this
number OF qualified citizens Tho votes were
probably taken, as was usual in federal gov
ernmcnts. by cities. tho number Of citizens
present from any given city in no way deter

"Tcn Thousand" concluded alliances in the
name of all Arcadia, received Ambassadors
from other States, and sat . court exer-
cising political jurisdiction and passing sen.
tences upon members guilty OF offences against
the league The federation had common mag.
istrates; their functions are not described,
but they must have constituted the executive
body which assisted the Strategus Com.
mander-in.Chi who probably combined civil
with military duties. There is some ground for
believing that tho Arcadian Confederation was
dissolved by Alexander In 324 B. G., but tho
federal tradition was strong enough to prompt
the Arcadians eagerly to seek admission into
the revived Achean League Of 2s0.

fisherman. In those days French families wero
prolific they still are In lower Canada.
Joan Audubon's children were innumerable.
and no fewer than twenty-one of them grew TO

his father, was sent forth at the age OF IL to
earn his livelihood. and became fisherman like
