A PLAYWRIGHT.

Miss Sue Greenleat, a playwright and
the author of some delightfE prose
stories, has been in Galveston for a weel,
gathering the material for new play
Miss Greenleaf is a well known Southern
writer, at present making her home In
Fort Worth, whose work has met with
much success in the North and East. As
writer OF children's stories she is al
most unsurpassed and many OF her pro-
auctions have been syndicated throughout
the country. Last summer she finished a
80, 900 word story OF more serious nature.
which was widely published.
In conversation with Post reporter to-
day Miss Greenleaf said the play on which
she Ia now engaged will be a four act
comedy, with the plot and characters laid
in Galves,ou. She is writing II under
contract for the promoters Of the Conftd-
crate Memorial association, which has for
its object the erection of q first class in
stitute OF learning to the women OF the
Confederacy. When finished and staged 1t
will be produced throughout the South
benefits TO go to the association. The
location OF the institution has not been
determined upon. but will go to the State
raising the most money for 1t. AS the as
ISOLATION headquarters are In Fort Worth
It Is likely that Texas Will capture the
location.
After writing the play on which she Is
now engaged Miss Greenleaf expects to
visit the large cities OF the North and
East In behalf OF the association. She Is
a relative OF Simon Greenleaf, the great
legal writer whose works on evidence are
to be found in every lawyers library.

Galvsston. Texaa. June 15.--Slnce tn,
withdrawal OF the Lone Star and Mai,or,
line coastwise boats there has been much
discussion In commercial circles as I,
whether Galveston could hold the trad,
that properly belongs to her. Without tn,
aid of coastwise shipping 1t was hard tc
see how this could be done ana there were
many who believed the town would be hi
hard blow as a result OF the war.
1t Is learned here today on good author
ity however, that the penner line OF
schooners Will soon be established TO Gal
weston. which will relieve the situation
TO marked extent. Tho Bunncr line
which has headquarters In Now York.
runs schooners TO Mobile. Tampa. Key
west Pensacola and other gulf ports.
These schooners ran regularly into Gal
weston about year ago, but did not re-
ceive much announcement from the busl.
ness men. and with the establishment OF
the Lone stat line the boats were with
drawn altogether. Now 1t seems Benner
has determined 10 try the port again. and
the indications are he will be accorded
more hearty welcome than he received a
year ago
The sohooners will be consigned To ].
Moller d Co.. and the first one to poke its
white nose up to the wharf for cargo IL
expected not later than July /. II may
come sooner. Il. Brown has $50 tons of
slate which he has promised for the first
beat and the rate has already been agreed
upon.
The Benner schooners are good staunch
boats of from 600 TO 1900 tons capacity.
The need of good coastwist service, both
east and west from Galveston, is realized
more now than 1t has been for years. Both
the Lone Star and Mallory lines were
either sold or chartered all their ships to
the government at good prices and natu-
rally they are not In hurry to resume
business. Not coastwise vessel of any
kind is running. and the trade with
BROWNSVILLE Corpus Christi and points
east that was formerly supplied by Hous-
ton and Galveston has been gradually
slipping away. New Orleans has been on
the alert and has gobbled its share of It,
AS mentioned before. the coming or the
Benner line OF schooners will relieve the
situation and will materially assist these
two towns to hold the trade that is theirs
by right.

Senator Lodges View of the Cause for
the Revolution.

Senator Lodges STORY of the Revolution
is now running in Scribner's. America re-
helled he says, not because the colonies
were oppressed but because their inhabi
tants were the freest pople then in the
world, and did not mean to suffer oppres-
sion. They did not enter upon resistance to
England to redress intolerable grievances
but because they saw policy adopted
which they rightly believed threatened the
freedom they possessed. AS Burke said. they
Judged the pressure of the grievances by
the badness of the principle, and ''snuffed
the approach of tyranny in every tainted
breeze" They were the most dangerous peo-
pie in the world to NEEDLE with, because
they We're ready to fight, not to avenge
wrongs which indeed they had not suffered
but to maintain principles on which their
rights and liberty rested The English Min
istry had begun to assail those principles
teTnpts to take money from the colonies
without leave of the people; and George, in
belated way was trying to be king and
revive an image of the dead and gone per-
scnal monarchy of Charles l. Hence came
resistance, very acute in one colony shared
more or less by all. Hence the Congress in
Philadelphia and the great popular move
ment starting as If inevitably in that quiet
colonial town among the freest portion of
the liberty-oving English race. AS TO The
profound significance of the first colonial
Congress he says: ITO the courts of Eu-
rope, engaged at the moment in meaning
less intrgues, either foreign or domestic,
and all alike grown quite dim now, the CO.
lonial Congress was not even obscurel it was
not visible at all. Yet, thoughtfully regard
than anything which just then engaged the
attention of Europe. Fifteen iaIer its
utterances were to be quoted as authority
end its examples emulated in Paris when an
ancient monarchy was tottering to it's fail
1t was the start of a great movement which
was to sweep on until checked at Waterloo.
This same movement was to begin its mareh
again in 1890 In the streets of Paris and
carry the reform of the British Parliament
two years later. 1t was to break forth once
more in 1S4S and keep steadily on advance
ing and conquering, although it's work is
still incomplete even among the nations of
Western civilization. Yet, no one in Europe
needed it at the moment, and they failed to
see that 1t meant not simply a colonial
quarrel, not merely the coming of a new
nation, but the rising of the people to take
their share in the governments of the earth.
1t was in fact the first step in the great
democratic movement which has made his
tory ever since. The great columns were
even then beginning TO move, and the beat
of the drums could be heard family in the
quiet Philadelphia streets. They were still
distant. but they We're ever drawing nearer
and their roll was rising louder and louder.
until ct last they sounded in the ears of
men from Concord bridge to Moscow"

of village life-the one in New England tie
other in DevOnsEire, old England; 1.-THE
Lion of Janina" is a strong picture of Turk
ish atrocities at the time of the first war OF
Greek independence; The Sack of Monte

seem quite reasonable, and THE Fight for
the Crown" is novel of society and pol

The Lady of the vioIets.

This story, by Frank W. Rollins, relates
the business experiences ard successes of
two American girls of the end of the CEN
fury type who, passing from their modest
bachelor quarters on Ninety-ninth street,
New York, through the financial malls rom
tron saints of their native town in New
England. After having rehabilitated the Did
tiona line of steamships, and through the
stress OF circumstances, aid the insurgent
cause in Cuba. OF course, all this is Very
improbable, but the author makes a reada-
bic story out of it, THE Lady of the Vio-
let's was the designation bestowed on the
elder of the two girls in Wall street because
her real name was unknown and she was
scarcely ever seen without a bunch of them.
The story is well written Boston: Lee &
Shepard.
