The Death Dice.
From the Taller.

The German emperor has just made
most interesting historic presentation to the
Hohenzollern Museum. 1t consists Of the
famous death dice" by the help Of which
one of Kaiser Wilhelm's ancestors decided
a difficult case about the middle OF the sew
enteenth century. A beautiful young girl
had been murdered, and suspicion fell on
two soldiers, Ralph and Alfred. who were
rival suitors for her hand. AS both pris-
oners denied their guilt. and even torture
failed to extract a confession from either.
Prince Frederick William, the kaisers an
cestor. decided to cut the Gordian knot
with the dice box. The two soldiers should
throw for their lives, the loser to be ex-
ecuted as the murderer. The event was
celebrated with great pomp and solemnity.
and the prince himself assisted at this ap-
peal to divine Intervention, as it was con-
Sidered by everybody, including the accused
themselves.
Ralph was given the first throw and he
drew skies. the highest possible number.
was then given to Alfred, who fell on his
knees and prayed aloud: Almighty God.
Thou knowest l am innocent. Protect me.
1 beseech Thee!' Rising to his feet he
threw the dice with such force that one OF
them broke in two. The unbroken one
on the larger portion, and the bit that had
been split off showed one. giving a total of
thirteen. or one more than the throw of
Ralph The whole audience thrilled with
establishment, while the prince exclaimed
God has spoken!" Ralph. regarding the
his guilt and was sentenced to death. 1t is
probable that Alfred ever after did not
number himself among those who ioo.'
upon thirteen as an unlucky number.

Drug Fiend on View.
There was a novel spectacle on view at
one OF the West Side dime museums for a
few DAYS last week. The museum people
advertised that drug victim. who had

addiction to drugs once and forever, and
to do 1t publicly.
Thousands OF the credulous morbid flocked
TO the museum. They saw woman who
had once been pretty cooped up in padded
cape-the iron bars were lined with felt on
the inside-clawing at her disheveled hair
and uttering hoarSe, inarticulate cries for
dope" She had her face made up with
grease paints to give her an emaciated.

School for Playwrights.
1t has been decided that. after all. play
writing taug ht- whle-you-tarry isn't prac-
ticable That school for playwrights, estab-
lished here about three years ago, was
commented on in this correspondence at the
time, not in any terms of extravagant
praise. The school for playwrights proved
to be pretty good thing-for the project
ors. Several hundred young persons Of
both sexes put down quite goodly punches
of real, sure-enough money with the under
standing that they were to be taught how
to write plays while they waited. They
are all still waiting and, now that the har-
wrights is about to go out of business
The pupils have written certain things di-
vided of Into actS-milliOnS of EN-, one

ayers Of New York theaters. who have been
inundated by them. will stand for this
statement with bristling and tumultuous
enthusiasm. Nary produced play has
come out OF the school for playwrights,
which was started by a number of persons
who had been trying all of their lives to ret
plays of their own composition accepted,
without succeeding.
Meanwhile the dearth of new plays is
some thing awful. and managers are all but
