nictu-es and bric-a- brac rather than upon busi-
ness comment upon which was restricted to Mr..
Morgan's hearty congratulations upon the high
lv successful manner in which the Baron

market; but it must be borne in mind that no

earned regulations for keeping their own coun-

robust and sunburned. He is expected to leave

An exceedingly bright and clever one-act play
by Auguste German entitled lie Bonheur qui
Passe" which may best be described as a light
modern comedy in the style of Alfred de Mussets
Caprice" was brought out on Tuesday at the
Theatre Francais with decided success. and
served as a fitting occasion for the debut at the
Coincide Francaise of Henri Meyer. one of the
most finished actors of the Vaudeville and

sort Of tragedie bourgeoise of the Kotzebue or |

which it somewhat resembles. The realization |
of the dying wife's in the event of the hus-
bands subsequently marrying the meretricious |
maid servant, and the dismal effect Of three acts
passing in the obscurity of night proved alto
gether too sombre and melancholy for q Partisan |
audience. Three clever and startling new plays
were produced tonight at the Grand Guignol at |
