R0UE PLAYS ARE IN VOGUE
Dramas Showing Up Marital Infidelity

LONDON, May 27.-(New York World Ca
blegran-Special Telegram. 1.-THE costume
play is now giving way to the roue play.
The extraordinary success of Pinero's Gay
Lord Quex" was bound to produce iInita-
| tons, and first in the field is r. C. Carton
with wheels Within Wheels" produced
this week at the Court theater.
Carton hitherto has had the reputation of
being "the Dickens of the drama" His
greatest success has been in light domestic
comedies like Liberty Hail. in which
probability is often sacrificed for nicely,
and which Is without the finest breath of
improperly.
"Wheels Within Wheels is a picture of
smart society, drawn with cynical freedom
and with remarkable ability. It's plot is
quite simple. Everton Vartrey, loose fish,
possesses a compromising letter written to
him by Lady Courteys, with whom he has
carried on a Irritation. She Is the wife of
| thoroughly respectable but priggish poll
tician. Vartrey puts pressure on Lady
Courteys to elope with him, but her sister,
Mrs. Onslow Bulmer, a philosophical, good
! natured widow obtains entrance to Vart.
reys rooms and gets the document She is
caught in the act by Lord Chantrell, who is
occupying the rooms, but she succeeds in
fascinating him so efectually that he de-
stroys the letter. In the second act Lady
Courteys hears of the disappearance of the
letter, and fearing that it has been stolen
by her maid, she arranges to elope with
Vartrey before the apparently inevitable
revelation of her secret. She engages to
meet Vartrey at an inn in Surrey, but Mrs.
Bulmer, again playing the part of a gCou
fairy, turns up there and persuades Lady
Courteys not to elope while she herself in
ours suspicion Of being the real object OF
Vartreys attention. OF course, Lady Court
eys is prevented from leaving her husband,
but 1t is more by the worldliest of advice
than any moral consideration.
/ The whole group of characters are thor
| oughly unsympathetc, each pursuing ends
| IN the mcst sordd manner. 1t may be a
| true picture of contemporary fashionable so
ciety but If so, it is a highly dsagreeab c
one. However, the polished briliance ot
the dialogue, the remarkably clever con
struction and the admirable acting insured
| immediate success for wheels Within
Wheels" despite its unpleasant flavor.
Miss Empton as Mrs. Bulmer gave a per-
fectly finished creation OF the latter day
woman of the world. Arthur BourchieI
made the hit OF the evening as a typica

eagerly discussed and the house Is full ever,

COMPLIMENT TO MARK TWAIN
Reception by Austria's Emperor n
Favor that is Highly
Appreciated.

Copyright 1S99 by Press Publishing Coz
VIENNA, May 27.-(New York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram.) Mark
Twain's private audience with the emperor
Thursday delighted him beyond any pre-
vious experience. He accepts ii as a COM
pliment, not to himself so much as to
Americans. Great as was Kaiser Williams
message to Kipling, this courtesy on the
part of Franz Josef really means more than
If performed by any other crowned head in
Europe. The Austrian court is the most alb
solutely exclusive and conservative OF ALL
For the emperor to have voluntarily sent
for Mark Twain without the latter having
ever taken any step TO obtain an audience
is the fullest testimony to the appreciation
in which the great American humorist
is justly regarded both as a man and an
author in Viennese society.
The emperor talked of many subjects
during the audience, expressing the pleasure
with which he had read some OF Twain's
books. He also expressed admiration for
Americas ability in war although for many
reasons his sympathies were wholly with
Spain. He appeared much diverted when
Twain wrestled dauntlessly with the Ger
man tongue, producing some strange and
wonderful pieces of construction. The en-
peror charitably came to his rescue, to
Twains profound relief.
Twan's quiet, courteous manner, respect
full but free from the cringing hattery with
which he Is wont to be treated evidently
pleased the emperor, who said in conclu-
sion he was much grathed by Mark Twain's
visit and regretted that the cares of state
and other cares had prevented him from re-
ceiving Twain earlier, but he could not al
low him to leave Vienna without making
his acquaintance Twain suitably thanked
the emperor, After four months stay in
England and Scotland Twain returns to
America in October.

after a stay of nearly two years, during

much of his ability. The new Lord Esher
is secretary to the Commission OF Public
Works. He was formerly secretary to the
duke Of Devonshire and is a great friend of
Lord Rosebery. Lord Esher had erected
during his lifetime a beautiful monument to
himself and Lady Esher in a quaint old

Associated Press story.

LONDON, May 27.-Particulars received
regarding the famine in Russia confirm the
previous narrowing accounts. The members
of the Russian aristocracy seem to have at
last awakened to full sense of the gravity
of the situation and money is beginning to
flow on all sides for the relief of the starv-
ing moujiks. Unfortunately, charity is al
most too late The censor at first prevented
the truth from being published by the Rus
sian press. Now that the facts are aflowed
to appear, the famine specter is stalking
through the land. Some authorities esti-
mate that as many as 2O,OOO,OOO peasants
are starving
Rev. Francis, pastor Of the British Amer
ican church at St. Petersburg, who did
much to secure British and American aid
during the last famine, appeals to the Brit
ish public today. He says seven provinces,
covering 10000 square miles, are affected
and that 100000 people are famine-stricken
and will need to be fed during the next
three months. He adds that the czar czar-
ina, Russian government and the Red Cross
and other bodies have subscribed many
millions of roubles, but that G2,250,O00 is
still required.

LONDON May 27.--(New York World
Cablegram-Special ram.)-Appalling
accounts of the famine in Russia continue
to reach London. The Rev. Alexander
Francis, pastor of the British American
church in St. Petersburg and chairman of
the relief fund committee addresses today
an appeal to the English people and the
Chronicle today suggests opening a Lord
Mayors fund to collect subscriptions.
Mr.. Francis letter bears out the nforma-
tion given to the World last Sunday that
one million people are starving to death
and that every donor of 81 saves life.
Scurvy, typhus fever, typhoid fever and
other diseases in their more aggravated
form have broken out and are spreading
rapidly among the starving people. The
mortality, especially among the children, is
alarming. Princess Lieven writes from the
distressed Christopal district, Russia
You cannot imagine what they eat. Any
thing is looked upon as good enough to fill
the stomach. Typhoid fever and scurvy in
the most virulent form are the natural re-
suit of the bad and insufficient food There
is constant bleeding from the roof OF the
mouth, which is swollen, and the gums also
bleed when touched The teeth get loose in
their sockets. Open sores appear on the
feet. Death comes from internal hem
orrhage. About 10 cents is sufficient to buy
food to keep UP the strength of man
during the month. So little money goes
long way But thousands are to be fed
and speedy help is needed, for peoples lives
are at stake"
