New York, Oct. 2s.-The literary event
Of the moment is the "Cyrano de Berge-

fountain head, is some distance off, and
the boom" has had to have little time
TO get across the Atlantic; but 1t is here
IN full tide at last. There We're those
who said it would never reach us, arguing
that Partisan enthusiasms remained for
the most part exclusively Partisan and
died about where they were born. But
these are now disproved prophets. Rich
ard Mansfield played the play to a crowd
ed house the first night-about three
weeks ago-and has been playing 1t to
crowded houses ever since. And the dra-
matte critics, while writing in many in
stances from a manifest predisposition to
look coldly on a play that Paris had gone
wild over, have been forced, one and all,
to say that Mr.. Mansheld's presentation
marked an epoch and that the play, as
well as the playing, was extraordinary.
Meanwhile-and this is still more of
wonder, for as a thing for private reading
play, as a rule, sells but meagerly-the
American publishers of the play are find
ing it a rare commodity. There are two
English versions on the market; one in
verse by Gladys Thomas, who is Rostand,
the authors sister-ln-law, assisted by
Mary T. Guillemard; and one in prose,
by Miss Gertrude Hall. The former Is
made In England, and the American pub
Usher Of it found his first importation TAX
en- up almost before it landed, and before
a second could be obtained he had
shop full of orders. The publishers of
Miss Halls version have had similar
felicity Of distress-orders and orders, far
ahead of the goods wherewith to fill them.
So far as the publishers and booksellers
are concerned, the whole business is a
surprise They foresaw nothing like II. In
the natural conservatism of their temper

and a French play at that, and there has
been so much talk ABOUT II that people

FROM prG-IRON TO SEEK.

This Is world of change, and there is a vast difference between pig-iron and silk. In recent issue of the Iron Age it is shown that in a number of towns in Pennsylvania the manufact- ure of silk has taken the place of iron- making, At Phoenixville, for example, pig-iron was formerly the product that employed the capital and energies of the people, but now that the production of pig-iron has ceased to be profitable silk ribbons are to give employment to five hundred persons. At Pottsville also there were formerly furnaces, but a silk factory has taken their place and is the mainstay of the town. Reading has it's silk factory, and Allentown has seven.
 If the French process of making silk out of cotton or wood pulp is what it is said to be perhaps the raw silk will soon be made in the Pennsylvania towns where pig-iron was formerly popular.

WREELS IN GERMANY

The Germans are smart in trade, but they find themselves seriously troubled by the Yankees. Just now United States bicycles are making the wheels in German heads go round. At a re- cent meeting of the German Association of Bicycle Dealers the matter of aban- doning the sale of American wheels was discussed, and it was finally agreed that the members of the association should, as far as possible, confine their trade to German wheels Subsequent ly MT. Weese, a dealer at Winsen, ad- vertised American wheels at $35.70 each. Thereupon, the association, of which MT. Weese was a member, pitched into" MT.

Weese did dare to say just that, and he said it strongly too. He wrote among other things: I beg to inform you that no German factory is up to the mark, and that next year

SUNDAY IN MAsSAcH UsE sETTs.

Some of the people of Massachu- sets who are inclined to feel that man was made for "the Sabbath are moving to persuade the Massachu- setts legislature to further tinker the Sunday law, the advocates of Puri- tan Sabbath" not being content with the law passed three years ago, be- cause of it's permission on Sunday of "an entertainment given by religious or charitable society, the proceeds of which, if any, are to be devoted exclu- sively to a charitable or religious pur- pose" Their desire now is to make "a concert of sacred music" the sole limitation, but they have admitted in the hearings before a legislative com- mittee that this is only an entering wedge. Strong opposition has appear ed to their movement. The Rev. Charles c. Everett, D. D., dean of the Harvard Theological School wrote that he would regret to see the Sunday less quiet and orderly than now, but he had supposed that five had outgrown the Blue Laws' The Rev. George Hodges, D. D., dean of the Episcopal Theological School of Cambridge, op- posed any enactment which would simply make Sunday hated" Even the law must take human nature into account" he said, and what he want ed is 'that Sunday shall be joy and a pleasure not threat" There were like protests from many others, and one of the speakers told of recent ex- perience suggesting conditions that ex- isted half century or more ago. It was on the occasion of a visit on Q Friday afternoon to the Asylum of Col ored Orphans in Boston, where he ob- served that the children had no play things. He asked the reason for this, and was told the playthings had all been put away on Saturday, so as to prepare their minds for the observance of Sunday.
