nBESPIERRE, !" IRYING'S
GREATEST TRIUMPH.

london, April 24.-That the old ad-
Age which sets forth that it is always
darkest just before dawn is not with
out force is exemplified by the recent
experiences of Sir Henry Irving, the
great English actor. A few months
ago he was broken in health, broken in
spirit and, according to common report
also broken in purse. He had gone
through the awful trial of series OF
failures. A failure to the ordinary
producer means much, but to Sir Henry
Irving it means much more, for he Is
one of the few producers in the world
who absolutely eliminate the question
of money when about to make new
offering. When the announcement on
his ill health was cabled to America,
his many admirers in that country
seemed ready to believe the accom-
panying story to the effect that he had
finally succumbed to the terrific strain
and that he would never again appear
upon the stage. Fortunately the rum
or had no foundation in fact, and the
great actor went ahead with his pre-
parations for the production OF "Ro-
bespierre," for which he had previous
1y entered into contract with Victor
len Sardou, the famous French dram
Rtist. Meanwhile the Lyceum theatre
practically passed from the hands of
6ir Henry to a stock company in which
he is said to be interested. The new
infringement inaugurated its regime by
mailing wholesale discharges OF en-
opioyes who had faithfully served Irv-
ing for many years. The veteran was
wounded to the quick, but was obliged
by force of circumstances to hold his
peace.
There were many predictions. here
that the public would resent this al
most brutal disregard of the wishes and
feelings of the distinguished actor, and
it is likely that the aforesaid public
might have done so had it not found
itself in the position of being unable
to injure the objects of it's resentment
without also working harm to its favor
lite at the time when, if ever, the most
enthusiastic and material support was
necessary. So the public smothered its
resentment and turned out to give Sir
Henry royal welcome upon the coca
sion of his temperance at his home
theatre. 1t was generally realized that
IL "Robespierre" should prove to be a
failure Iriving's reign as the monarch
of the London stage would be practic-
ally at an end. The house was sold
out week before the opening date,
and the sales extended well mo the
following month. Enormous prices

Boston, May Edward Atkinson.
OF this city, has addressed an open
letter to the Attorney General of the
United States on the recent action pro-
hibiting the transmission of certain
pamphlets through the mails by Mr..
Atkinson, in which, the writer denied
that the matter was of seditious ma
ture and repeats what he has said Prev
iously in interviews that the pamphlets
have appeared as public documents in
connection with the proceedings of
the United States Senate. MIR. Atkin-
son also denies that he has sent any
communication of any nature TO any
private soldier or soldiers or regimental
officer in the Philippines. Mr.. Atkin-
son says that as it had been authen-
ticaiiy reported to him that the par
ents of Nebraska volunteers had not
been allowed to communicate with
their sons on duty in the islands and
prompted by Indignation, he decided to
make a test and TO do so mailed pamph-
lets to the Philippines and wrote to
the Secretary of War telling him what
he had done

plains to her Why he hates TIE aristocl
racy Again he has scene with this
son. whom he has condemned to death,
and It Is one Of the many strong bits in
the play.
Sardou was eviEently determined first
Of all that he would write play which
would be successful no matter what
charges of lack of originality might
be brought against it. Therefore in
'Robesplerre" he follows Shakespeare 8
plan, When in doubt, use ghosts. He
permits the speeters representing the
victims of the sea green monster TO
pass in review before him, while wall
ing cries come from out the darkness;
'Yo our time is near at hand. Robes
pierre! Your time will comet The
effect is indescribably wierd, and lrv-
ing's acting in this scene is as good as
any that he does in the play.
The main fault, and almost the only
fault, in "Robespierre" is one that is
common to nearly all of Sardou's dra-
mas. He occupies too much time in
getting to the meat of, the story. But
once he has reached it he grips it with
a firm hand, and his touch is never for
a moment uncertain. This fault Will
doubtless be remedied by judicious
pruning of the dialogue in the carrier
scenes, and "Robespierre" will then be
as nearly as possible perfect specimen
CT dramatic writing. 1t has proved the
salvation of Irving and will also in all
probability renew the vogue OF oardou,
which had begun to wane somewhat IN
this country. ELMER WOODSON.

!, theatre-goers declare that nothing ap-
preaching it has ever been seen on the
| London stage Sir Henry Irving Is
once more firmly intrenched in pre-
miership which has time and again
been dangerously threatened by Beer
| bohm Tree and Forbes Robertson, and
it will not be long before, drom the
pencuniary standpoint, he will once
more be in easy cicums tances.
Kyrle Bellew enacted the role of Ro-
| bespierre's natural son, the part of orig
| inally assigned to Robert Taber, the
| American actor and husband of Julia
| Marlowe. Mr.. Bellows former associa-
ate, Mrs. James Brown Potter, had
| scored the success of her life a short
I. time before in Trees production of
| Grundy's 1.-The Muskateers," but her hit
was no greater than that made by Mr..
! Bellew in "Robespierre. He fairly di-
vided honors with the star. and his
services are certain to be in great de-
mand at large salary hereafter in this
city.
Incidentally 1t may be worth while
mentioning that the enormous hit made
| by "Robespierre" has caused Sir Hen
ry and his manager to consider the adj
visibility of producing no other play
during the extended American tour,
which will open probably in New York.
1t certainly ought to be good in New
York for several months, if Sir Henry
proves able to give SO much time to
that city.
The discussion is likely to arise in the
United States. as it has already arisen
here, as to the phase of "Robespierre"
which is in the greatest measure re-
sponsible for its phenomenal success.
Some persons declare that it is the
magnificent art of Sir Henry and his
charming and talented leading woman,
Ellen Terry. Others there are who as
sert that it is the magnificence OF the
| production, coupled with the correct
ness and good taste. of the stage invest
iture and the natural and realistic ma
nipulation of the crowds, which is
mainly responsible for the furore Great
J ed by that play Still a third section
AYERS that it is Sardou's triumph, and
/ Sardou's alone; that Irving has simply
| happened to strike piece of good luck
at the time when it was most needed.
These people think, or profess to think,
! that any actor of reasonable ability
would succeed in "Robespierre" just
as emphaticaily as Irving has done even
| though he had only enough money to
give the piece fairly respectable
mounting.
l shall not attempt to express my
own opinion except to say that all three
factions are probably somewhat cor
rect, as it is the perfection OF each Of
the phases CT the production which has
stage representation seen in this city
during the last double decade. If there
were a falling short in any respect, it

ANOTHER CASE OF MAUD


Maud Muller. went on a summer day
To try the old racket of raking hay.
Shed heard how it shared the Judge, and
thought
There might be another to be caught.
And oft she glanced down the lanes long
course
To see if he came on his piebald horse.
But the judge came not, nor a sleek court
clerk.
Nor a constable to get in his work.
Not even a chronic juror came
TO ask her TO share his oft-called name.
Yet she raked away with tireless VIII.
For Maud was a slayer from Ssayerviile
Great blisters rose on her hands so fair,

But nary Judge came riding by.
And her swollen bosom was filed with
sigh.
One spark of hope in said bosom burned

Or he might have halted to beer his face

And yet she raked with untiring zeal,
The damp sweat trickEng from head to
heel,
The spur grass pricked at her zebra hose
Meath the Southern bounds of her Sunday
clothes.
The breezes blew on her bloomin' checks
And scattered the sweat into criss-cross
streaks.
The sun sank lower adown the west,
And tne hope-star dittoed in Maudie' IS
breast.
One last glance fired she along the lane.
Then sank on the stubble with moan OF

But she rose again with impromptu spring
For the stubble was sharp as a hornet S

Then cried; as to splinters she stamped
the rake:

To be taken out and fatally shot!

Her accents keyed to a note of pain:

CANNOT BE hoMEsTEADED.
General MIsspDreheaeIon as to Lsnds
Now Being Allotted.

Washington, April 6. - From
the numerous letters of inquiry re-
ceived at the department of the
interior, it has become evident that
a general mistake prevails in the
West with regard to the allotment
of lands at present going on in the
Indian Territory. Many persons
are writing here to learn when
those land will be open to settle
ment, and iprinted circulars have
been received announcing that the
the interior department will give
full information to anyone apply
ing as to how these lands may be
hOmesteaded. The fact of the
matter is that the lands being al
lotted in several of the nations are
not public lands and, of course,
will not be thrown open to settle
ments. These lands remain the
property of the Indians. Under
certain restrictions fixed by law,
thev can be alienated or disposed
of by their Indian owners. but
none of these lands will be passed
to the government and the govern
ment will have no jurisdiction
over the question of their leasing
or selling beyond that fixed by act
of Congress. Circulars and state
ments that they can be homestead
ed are misleading Title to any of
the lands can be required only
through direct negotiations with
the Indians.
