FRENCH PLAY.
FRENCH PLAY.

As a ioxe the matinee girl is defective, in
that she is supposed to be one, when she IS In
fact various There is all the difference in the
world between for instance, the feminine
throngs at and about Broadway and Thirty
third-st and those which may be seen twice
week in the neghbOrhOOd of the Brooklyn the
atres. A season of Sarah Bernhardt brings out
another type, or rather, several other types,
who have little beyond their sex, in common
with the matinee girl as generally conceived
On Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. when
there are performances of the French company
at the Garden Theatre. it is obvious to the most
casual observation that more women than men
are entering at the box office, and more men
than women coming out. AS at other theatres,
the great bulk of matinee attendance is of the
fair sex. and the men are mostly busy about
getting seats for other performances many days
in advan e. But if you watch at the door where
the official peeIs off coupons and takes admis-
sion tickets you will notice that these are
rather matinee women than matinee girls
At the front entrance at least. it is a particu-
Iarly well dressed crowd. The effect of holiday
festivity. especially as evidenced by flowers, Is
noticeabIy wanting in the toilets and is re-
placed by one of studied appropriateness and
refined restraint 1t is also evident that these
women are going into arduOus afternoon
campaign Of entertainment with little or no
cOmmissariat in the shape Of Caramels. And,
lastly, the matinee women who go to see
''L'AiglOn' are not taIkative their attitude tow

partiaIity rather than one of giggIing and glee-

State Department DisincIined to Par
ley Longer With the Sultan of
Turkey.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
There is no longer any question that
the diplomatic relations between the
United States and Turkey are in a crit
ical state, growing out of the Sultan's
bad faith. He promised to pay the In
demnity claims of the American mis-
sionaries for the destruction of eight
buildings of the Euphrates College at
Harpoot and several buildings belong
ing to the American missionaries at
Marash during the Armenian massa-
ere of 1895. Mr.. Straus, the United
States minister to Turkey, is at pres
ent in the United States on leave of
absence. AS has already been an
nounced, he presented his resignation,
but the President regarding the SER
vices of Mr.. Straus as indispensable,
indefinitely extended his leave, subject
to the call of the Secretary of State
whenever circumstances may necessi-
tate his return.
Diplomacy appears to have exhaust
ed itself at Constantinople, the Sultan
having promised to pay the indemnity
claims amounting to some 500, 900,
which promise was again renewed prior
to Mr.. Straus' departure and although
sixteen months have elapsed since the
premise was first made that promise
still remains unfulflled. What action
the government will now take to en-.
force the Sultan's promise is not def
nitely known, but as the situation is
criticised, it may result in Secretary
Hay sending the Turkish minister at
Washington his passports. The ques-
ton involved between the two
tries is no longer one resting upon dis
puted points of international law, but
upon the Sultan's broken faith.

Turkish minister in Washington can
not be fore-told at this moment. He is
SO far absolutely unentangled IN the
negotiation of these American claims
but that fact might not save him from
being made the immediate victim OF
his country's laches. The minister,
however, is very popular personally
in Washington and as his enforced de-
parture would be a matter of deep re-
greet to official society it is earnestly
hoped that by prompt action on the
part of the Turkish government ILL
consequences to it's representative
here may be averted.
