A dramatization Of a popular novel is sure
to be criticised more severely than a play
which is entirely new to the public. Every
reader of a novel finds something in il that
perhaps the author never dreamed of put
ting there; no two see the various charac-
tiers in precisely the same light, and to some
extent such a book is a work of the read
er's as well as the writer's imagination.
For this reason the dramatist cannot ex-
pect to please every one when he under
takes to adapt a story to the stage. There
are novel readers, indeed. so fond of certain
books or of certain personages in them that
they decline to see dramatic reproductions
thereof lest their cherished conceptions be
shattered by coming into conflict will an
other mans materialized ideas of the same
characters. Though it may be received
with doubt, the assertion is here boldly ven-
tured that persons may even be found who
have refused to look upon that ancient
drama, Uncle Toms Cabin" because of a
conviction that no stage Eva or Uncle Tom
or Topsy could equal the beings who walked
across the pages of the book when it was
read long ago. Dramatizations of "Jane
Eyre" of o Curiosity Shop" of ''Oliver
Twist of BLEAK House, of any novel
containing characters for whom readers
conceive a liking are avoided by sensitive
persons who know that no actor could ever
fulfill their ideas of such personages. Every
reader of Vanity Fair" has his own con-
ception of Becky Sharper "Rebecca." as
one dignihed New York dramatic critic
calls her-and difficult. indeed. was the task
OF the ambitious young man, Langdon
Mitchell, who undertook TO make a play Of
that famous story. 1t Is evident from the
comments of critics on Mrs. Fishes OPEN
ing production of the play that he has sue
ceeded well in a general way, but precon-
ceived ideas of Becky plainly get in the way
of their judgment of the stage Becky. They
agree that the dramatization is remarkably
well done and hat Mrs. Fiske's perform
ance is admirable, even wonderful: but
there is discernible a vague dissatisfaction
which can only be ascribed to the fact that.
fine as Mrs. Fiske's Becky is, she is not
quite the Becky they knew in Thackeray's
story. william Winter. who gives over two
columns TO a review of the play and is en-
thusidSuc HI piaiSc u III MI >
and Mrs. Ffske's achievement, unconscious
~ betrays this dissatisfaction in his remark
hat certain dement's in Becky's character
which. on paper, would make her admired
and even liked. would in real life inspire
CONSERVATION and aversion. He also notes.
with a show of disappointment, that many
OF the finer episodes and some OF the most
pleasing personages of Vanity Fair are
omitted from the play and that Becky pre-
dominates. but he forgets that the drama
list does not undertake to present Vanity
Fair" does not call his play that. but Is
concerned only with Becky and her part in
the tale.

The suit which has been brought in the
United States court by Mrs. Jenkins, of Chi
cexo. whose husband was lynched in Ripley
county about two years ago. may we'll arouse
the fears OF all those who took part in that
affair. II they are not concerned they soon
win be. for IL is the purpose OF those who
are interested as prosecutors to pursue an
Investigation which will lay bare the whole
tniquity. All the perjury that has taken
place In Ripley county to save the lynchers
or murderers will be exposed The widow Of
one of the victims is not alone In this prose-
cution The officers Of indian who have
been baff1ed in their efforts to secure the
conviction of the men who are chiefly re-
sponsible are taking an interest In this suit.
These officers expect that the testimony
which vii be presented will disclose those
who are most guilty of the crime and render
their punishment possible. They rightly be-
lieve that the failure Of the state to bring
the iynchers In Ripley county to trial win
have the effect TO embolden others 10 COM
mit similar GRIMES. For this reason the suit
brought by Mrs Jenkins has a much greater
oubiic interest than the compelling OF those
who took the LIE Of her husband TO pay her
damages

The Chicago Daily Drovers' Journal calls
attention to the statement of the New York
receipts of cattle at Chicago and at Mis-
souri, river points in jun and July, 1899,
were 10000 head. The statement is all right
for the World, but as a matter of fact.
it is 10000 too large, the daily average re-
ceipts of cattle at these points during June
and July being Is. 40. The object of max
ing the statement Is to indulge in double
column big type observations about the
meat trust. The Drovers' Journal seems
thoroughly incensed over the misstatements
of the yellow newspaper. 1t is wasted. Its
business is to make sensations.

He does not tempt one 10 tride with his
