ant Of the world of letters as OF the
world OF men; turning with his long
ing thoughts to Copenhagen where,
at the Kins theater, buskined actors
and actresses, with sweeping trains,
were spouting resonant iambics.
1t was in 1S49 that Ibsen completed
his Catalina, and one sees in it the
work of an ambitious lad, who has read
nothing but Foersoms translation OF
Shakespeare, and a few of the TRACE
dies of Oehlenschalger; and 1t Is
point to be especially noted that this
man, destined to become the sterneSt
realist of his time began in the in
nermost receSses of romanticism. But
this change was not confined to Ibsen.
1t pervaded the Scandinavian drama.
In the same year in which Ibsen CON-
pleted his Catalina, Heiberg became
the sole director of the Royal theater
in Copenhagen, and quite changed its
atmosphere. He understood the spirit
and the requirements OF the modern
audience, and he encouraged realism.
AS you already know, before begin
ming his prose dramas, Ibsen had writ
ten a number of rhymed dramas, so
strong and fine that his admirers were
both regretful and apprehensive when
he discarded the adornment of verse
and protested his intention to write
henceforth in prose. One of the char
acters in his Warriors at Helgeland,
ha6 Tni1 por' n I cir
yesterday; today | am too Old" 1t
seemed as though suddenly Ibsen Felt
himself too old, or at least too serious
of purpose, for the grace of rhyme,
and realized that to rhyme his scath-
ing indictments would take something
from their force. His messages must
be otherwise delivered to the world.
The first of his social dramas in prose
was The Young Mems League in 1869.
Ibsen was AZ then, and had already
learned the deepest meaning of life,
said Louise Chandler Moulton, in re-
viewing his life few years ago,
have never read The Young Mems
League, but, though it is not one Of
Ibsen's most notable dramas, Mr..
Gosse discerns in 1t a strong advance
over its predecessors in intellectual
power.
1t was probably because the play was
so exclusively and locally Norwegian
that it has never been widely known
elsewhere. In 1870 Ibsen definitely
took his leave Of poetry. In that year
he published a volume of poems, which
Mr.. Gosse reviewed so appreciatively
in England that the review was the
beginning of friendship between
Gosse and Ibsen, friendship now Of
90 years standing.
One Of Ibsen's extreme, but I'M
changeable, political convictions is
that the state is always the enemy Of
the individual "The state" he says,
must go. That is. a revolution will
always find me on it's side. Sc
Spiritual relationship is the only thing
that makes for unity"
Ibsen has created a new form Of
drama, and a. present he is the leading
realist in dramatic literature. The
frank dissatisfaction which his dramas
express with the present condition Of
life is perhaps, the quality in them
which has brought them so signally TO
the front. All, how disconnected veal
most all are with the present condi-
lions OF this world in which we live!

Writing of the daily habits OF Henrik
lbsen from Munich TO Berlin newspa-
per, a few years ago, Max Bernstein
told how the famous author every
evening, at the same hour, walks alone
with slow steps, up and down Maxi
milan street. Principally, and ever
repeating itself, like the demand for
increased military appropriations in
the German reichstag, this promenade
takes place; and when he disappears
in the door of the Cafe Macmillan, we
can say with as much certainty as Of a
secretary of war who has been granted
a credit--he will come again. In the
Macmillan he sits alone, motionless,
always at the same table, for about an
hour. Before him is a glass of beer,
sometimes accompanied by a glass ri
cognac. ihoughtfully the keen eyes
gaze through the spectacles straight
ahead the thin lips remain closed, for
he is rarely addressed. His acquant-
ances-of whom he has not many--re-
member well a remark once made with
no harm and simly says what he
thinks: II like TO be alone" Should
he, nevertheless, be engaged in CONVEX
sation, he will hardly say anything
that someone else might not also say.
He spends only small coin. The gold
he keeps, to pay the debt Of his genius
to humanity And IL, indeed, the treas
ury of his mind is unlocked some
times, quickly, before he can enter and
look about, it is again closed. he
likes to hear everything new, especial
ly facts rather than thoughts. He new
er talks about his own work unless
some one else introduces the subject,
and then only with misery words, and
even these soon cease.
When Friederike Gossman--who mad
when she became the Countess
Prokesch-had recited Nora to him in
his own house, the variety OF opinions
about the play was mentioned They
make a senseless objection" Ibsen
declared, in his labored hating Ger
man, who maintain that l have said a
woman shall or may leave her husband
and children. | have not said at all
what any woman may or may not DO.
| have spoken only of one woman. OF
my Nora. OF this single woman.
have asked myself: What will this
woman do, according to her nature?
And I thought to myself, she will go
away. Another one perhaps, would
have done something else. And this
exactness he requires in respect to all
characters and movements OF his
dramas In the last act of the wild
Duck" he gave the stage directions
concerning the winter afternoon after
due consideration "On a clear sum-
mer afternoon Hedwig, perhaps, would
not have shot himself. One feels diff
ferertly when one stands in a room
or on a meadow between hills. Before
dinner or after dinner-that is a great
difference. Our feeling is different on
a bright day than on a cloudy day -
His opinions on foreigners and their
works are very mild, friendly and good
natured Very rarely do they show
that satire which serves him such a
sharp weapon when he is lighting for
himself.

1.-The present prospect is that one hun
dred thousand troops will be necessary
to pacify the Philippine islands,"
General Lawton's expedition has been
ordered to Manila, and will return at
once. ALI the territory he captured will
be evacuated and all the launches seized
will be restored to their original own
ers-that is to say they will be given
back to the persons from whom Aguin-
aldo's soldiers took them.
After giving the opinion that 100 600
men will be required to subdue these
islands, General Lawton explained the
situation to The World correspondent as
follows:
1.-The difficulties in the way are those
in fighting guerrillas in a tropical
country.
with my brigade could force my
way from one end of the island to the
other, if did not have to hold the terri
tory I traversed. But leaving garrisons
behind would soon eat up the whole
force"
General Lawton regretted exceedingly
being compelled to evacuate the terri
tory he had captured.

cathedral, says:
When the pope came into view the
people whispered. He had the appear
ance of a ghost, his face overshadowed
by the glittering tiara. His hands
trembled and sad smile played over
the colorless lips. With his left hand
he waved sad greetings, while with the
right he did his feeble best to raise it in
blessing. Twice he rose, the second
time in reading the benediction. His
voice was scarcely audible. Before con-
GLIDING the benediction he fell back
and pronounced the remainder in q re-
cumbent position. A loud cry like the
bursting of storm broke from the
congregation and the pope, stretching
his hand IN benediction, was carried
out.
