LONDON WITNESSES
"THEETERNALCITY"
Mr.. Hall Gaines Play Fails to Please
First-Night Audience-Jeers and
Laughter Greet Serious Passages.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-If Mr.. Hall Caine
had responded to the persistent calls for
the author at the close of the first per-
formance of 1.-The Eternal City" at His
Majesty's Theater tonight it is to be
feared that the audiences treatment OF
him would have shocked his sensitive
nature.
The house had sat none too patiently
through four hours of dullness, and after
giving full recognition to the excellent
work of the actors it sought an oppor-
tunity TO express its opinion of the play
itself. The nature of that opinion had
been too clearly indicated, however, by
the feers and laughter with which some
of the most labored passages were greet
ed and the author wisely refrained from
facing the ordeal.
Mr. Beerbohm Tree never staged 4
play more sumptuously. His acting and
that of Robert Taber, Lionel Brough
brandon Thomas, and Constance Collier
left nothing to be desired, but despite
these advantages it was impossible to
lift the play into anything approaching
a dramatic success.
In fact. the audience from being near
ly bored finally sought amusement In
ridiculing the heavy dialogue. Mas
cagnis incidental music did not prove
altogether new, but 1t included several
pleasing original passages.

NAVAL MANEUVERS
WITHOUT EXPENSE
Secretary MOODY Asserts That the Cost
Is Little More Than to Operate the
Vessels Singly.

The Secretary OF the Navy states that
the increase in his estimates for this
year over those of last for armament
and ammunition for target practice is
not in any manner due 10 the naval
maneuvers which recently took place or
those which are scheduled TO occur this
winter in the Caribbean Sea. There is
10 additional expense to the Government
because of the maneuvers, as it is Just
as expensive to operate ships singly as
together in squadron formation. The
recent joint maneuvers did not cost the
navy more than a few hundred dollars
beyond the ordinary expenses of the
service, which would have occurred in
any event.
The Navy Department is making ac-
tive preparations for the reorganiza-
tion of the torpedo boat fotilla now at
the Norfolk navy yard for the winter
maDeuvers in the Caribbean.
Will Leave Dry Dock.
on the goth of this month. under COM
mand of Lieut.. II. Chandler, and work
its way down the coast. All of the
boats are being drydocked now and re-
paired.
The taking of these little ships on this
long sea voyage causes much comment,
and the department allowed the boats
to participate in the maneuvers only on
the assurance of Lieutenant Chandler
that it would be perfectly safe for them
to go.
The destroyer Truxtun Will probably
be member of this fleet. The Shubrick
will be replaced by the Wilkes, this
being on the recommendation of Lieu
tenant Chandler. The torpedo boat
Gwin is in Norfolk with three-foot
indentation in her bow and her plates
badly bent. An accident, upon which no
report has been made public, occurred
at Old Point Comfort recently, when
the Gwin rammed the pier there.

That's the way the price of almost everything we are compelled to Duy is going and the last item we nave noticed is taxes. Anyone who has re- eeived their tax bill will tell you all about it; we expected, when consoil- dation of city and town was complet- ed, taxes would be kept within bounds, but, on the contrary, they are going higher and higher, and the dickens. who is a brother to Sprlg- gins, only knows where they Will stop. Wages seem to be the only ar ticle which does not go up. Of course, where the wage-earners band themselves together and insist on higher wages, seven times out of ten they get it and more power to them; may they live long and die happy. Say, did you ever take notice that our tea and coffee is always the same good quality and the price always the same. Of course we had to go up on the price of butter the past few weeks. but that's no fault of ours; you can lay that at the door of the trust. But. thanks be to goodness. the cows are giving more butter than can be cornered and the consequences are lower prices. WE are selling ele- gant butter at 2 cents per pound; if you delight in having nice tasting but ter served at your table just try the kind we sell. Remember our 2o cent coffee isn't equaled by anyone within eighty-eight miles of Water bury.

A rrenchman on AmerIca.

Many things have occurred of late
to express emphatically the great
goodwill and affection that exist be-
tween our country and the republic if
France. In the North American
Review, M CASTOR Deschamps, the
French litterateur, who, last year,
delivered the Hyde lectures at the
principal American universities, fur
Their accentuates the warm character
Of Franco-American relations. He is
enthusiastic about the United States,
and solicitous that nothing should
ever be allowed to menace the tradi-
tions of friendship and tacit alliance
existing between them and his own
land He is confident that to main
tain those traditions it is enough that
France and America should learn to
know each other better AS matter
of fact, the two peoples are wofully
ignorant about each others real
character. Americans are wont to
Judge the French from trashy novels
or from what those who travel see
and report Of the surface frivolous
life of the Partisan boulevards, cafes,
and music halls. They seldom sus-
pect that this is not France, nor
even Paris, but only the froth and
scum of French life. Beneath that,
or rather apart from it, there is a
world of activity and endeavor-a
world of ideas and creation, a world
Of honest, strenuous work, worthy Of
all admiration and emulation. On
the other hand, the French, who are
a stay-at-home people, know nothing
of Americans, except what rumor
brings to them and what they gather
from the erratic doings Of the army OF
wellto-do sons and daughters of the
New World who, in a devil-may-care
humor and bent on having a good time,
throng the places of amusement in
Paris almost all the year round. The
average Partisan is convinced that
Americans have only two functions
in life-to make dollars and spend
them in folly. But M. Deschamps
has seen deeper into things. Tic
