How do dramatists write plays? In al

That is called a scenario. Sometimes IL in
cludes the salient points only. Sometimes
ii goes into minute details. Anyway, il
shapes and forms his entire play. By this
time ne has studied the possibilities of his
theme and decided what his characters
shall do. He has learned by experience that
his work is more difficult than that OF the
novelist. He must not describe things. but
present them. He may resort to narrative
only at the risk of losing the attention OF
an audience. play Of words and not OF
deeds is like the proverbial garden full OF
weeds" The personages will not amount 10
much IL they merely talk. They must show
their traits, motives and intentions in
action. The soliloquy is, therefore, not In
favor with the modern playwright. These
conditions impose long and hard labor upon
even the geniuses among writer's for the
spent on a scenario than in writing out the
play. II may be said that a drama OF the
first-class is q good years task.
The playwright must keep his characters
plainly before him all the while. IL is es-
sential that he shall know where they are.

stir IL should mean something. An indefi-

quite as much as II hears. One OF our we'll
known authors sets small puppets on a
miniature stage and moves them about. In
no other way can he keep the situations
clearly In mind while devisiag and develop

Still others use whatever small things hap

stagecraft, who happens to be also

SEATTLE, Wash, May 5.-The Amer

news of the loss of a schooner and five
men who were aboard her. The accident
occurred between Juneau and Yakutat

the Bertha the crew of the schooner were
hard at the pumps. She was still under

one dead body, that of Peter Van Buren,,
q miner, aged thirty-five, who was pas
