The Lafnyette-ssThe Jirt."

The Lafayette Square stock company
will tomorrow enter mon its thirty-iifth
consecutive week. presenting as this
weeks attraction revival of Dion Bou-
cicault's great sporting comedy, The
Jilt" The play is one OF the best dramas
ever written by the celebrated actor-au-
thor. and has been used with great sue
cess in the repertoire OF several stars
since Boucicault first produced it in 1885
at the Boston Museum In that original
production, the juvenile role, Geonrey,
was p!ayed by Mr. William Seymour. the
LafayettSs stage director, and he IS,
therefore unusually well qualified TO su-
perintend the production. The play Is a
picture Of English social life OF the pres
ent time. abounding in fine character
studies and d. iicious comedy scenes to-
gether with pieHty of sentiment and love
interest.
The main theme concerns the loves of
the Lady Aiilicent, whose affections are
not confined to one person, and who Is
consequently designated as the Jllt- IN
addition TO the episodes centring around
her relations with Myles . iara and Sir
Budeigh Woodstock, there are half a
dozen minor threads Of interest and sew
eraf pairs Of interesting lovers. There is
also a distinctly 'horsey' atmosphere
about the play. and Cue scene contains
a description OF an exciting horse race
which is a worthy companion piece 10 the
Well-kDOwE horse race passage in Lon
don Assurance" Indeed. The Jilt' might
almost be called racing comedy. owing
to the prevalence Of sporting talk in some
Of the scenes. Though there is enough

the strenuous pressure of unfortunate
circumstances. He claims that out Of
the $4,000 criminals in the United
States, 25, 700 are detained within the
prison walls on account of the defects
of the present system. In prison the
convict is frequently employed in time
killing drudgery, argues the senator.
His labor benefits neither himself nor
the state. When the prisoner is re-
leased. mind and body are both weak
ned by confinement. Reproach and
contempt follow as a matter of course.
Under such circumstances there is no
chance for the discharged prisoner who
wants to lead an honest life. He can
not make a living in competition with
his fellows. Vagrancy and fresh crimes
are the inevitable results.
by labor. in the arid regions. the
%convicts could work in the open air.
Their surroundings would be the most
healthful. The labor, insists the scna-
tor, would be pleasant and less enor-
Gus than in the prison. In the contin-
ual change of scene, the men would
forget the past and NJ longer brood
over their mistakes or plot revenge.
1t would induce them to forget their
condition and the wages paid would be
of assistance when the day of dis
charge came"
If Senator Dietrich's plan can be
worked out to the satisfaction of the
people of the west. it may prove a bles-
sing, but there are many things in the
way. The sentiment of the people
against the use of convict labor upon
public works will probably be the great
est barrier. Many will also object to
the sending of large numbers of feder-
al convicts into the arid states. but
this objection might be removed by
having the %convicts returned to the
place of conviction at the expiration of
their terms of sentence. The labor per-
formed would be of such a character
as not to interfere in the slightest de
gree with union labor. for the reason
that it is labor hat would otherwise
remain unperfoiined. In fact it might
remove from competition with union
labor a great number of convicts who
are now engaged in making articles of
manufacture for the American mar
kets.
Senator DIETRICH is now in Washing
ton preparing mis- bill and the result Of
his labors will be awaited with consid-
cradle interest.
