Barry in New Play Gets Off Some
Good Satire.

London, Oct 81. NJ Barrie's latest
play, Little Mary" and sub-titied whim-
sically, AN Unfortunate Play, was pro-
duced by Charles Frohman at Wynn
hams theatre tonight. Like The Ad-
mirable Crichton.' it is delicate yet
biting satire on the gross materialism of
the life of the British srstocracy.
The story is cleverly told that the moral
was not wholly disclosed until the end Of
the last act Until then the critics won
dered what Barrie was driving at. Little
Mary is an unconscious Christian Scien-
fist Called in by a peers family 10 treat
a daughter. after the regular physicians
had failed, she not only cures the daugh-
ter. but metamorphoses the life of the
whole family. Pressed TO disclose the Sc
cret of her cure. little Mary confesses
it is zone meal day" declaring that the
only secret is her discovery that the Brit
ish aristocracy eat too much and think
too little.
The lines of the play are extremely wit
ty. Barrie excoriates the faults of the
aristocracy. jibes at fashionable physi-
clans. ridicules modern fashionable life,
and SCOTS at Christian Science. Nina
Boucicault at little Mary, and John Hare.
as a cynical Lord. captured the honors of
the night. The house was convulsed with
laughter from start to finish. Barrie de-
clined to appear on the stage. despite
tumultuous demand for the author. The
play is obviously a success.

UNITE 10 BUY ART.
British Plan to Follow the Partisan
Idea.

London. Oct. 3.-It is proposed to found
in London a society analogous 10 the
Societe des Amis du Louvre in Paris and
the Kaiser Friedrich Verein in Berlin
with the object of obtaining pictures and
other works of art for the British nation
al collections.
The reason for this movement is that
something akin to alarm has recently been
felt. Many works of are which il is be-
lieved ought TO be in the public collec-
tons of this country have found their
way TO the United States. France and
Germany The National gallery at Lon
don and other public galleries have al
ways been handicapped in the matter Of
purchasing owing to limited funds.
A provisional body has already been
formed and named the National Arts of
Collection Fund. which will organize the
efforts of British picture lovers to enable
them by combination TO meet growing
competition. A meeting will soon he held.
when definite proposal will be made.
Among those who are supporting the
movement are Sir Laurence Alma Tede-
ma, Lord Avebury. Lord Ronald Cover.
Lord Knutsford, Lord Landsdowne Sir
Clinton Dawkins and many directors of
various galleries throughout the country.

ADOPTS POISON BILL.
British After Long Time Look After
midas Morals.

London, Oct s.-The British government
after long hesitation. has at last adopted
a poison bill for India. Hitherto the
only restrictions upon the sale of poisons
in that country have been an old Bonn
bay act OF 1866. which owing to defects
is practically inoperati tive. and an act of
the northwestern provinces and oudh
municipalities which is also almost a dead
letter. Poisons Of all kinds can be OBJ
tanned easily in India and are used with
out let or hindrsnce. Arsenic is the fav-
orite medium for murder, and the gov
eminent until now has ignored the situ-
alton. II has long been regarded as an
extraordinary anomaly that a deadly
poison such as arsenic. without taste or
smell. which produces effects very SINH
lar 10 those OF cholera. and which Is
known TO be the agent most frequently
employed for homicidal purposes. should
he procurable In unlimited quantities In
every part of India. The official reason
for the absence Of previous legislation Is.
that since plants from which vegetable
poisons can be extracted grow all over
the country. and are readily accessible.
any restriction on the sale and posses
sion Of mineral poiSons might result in
inducing criminals TO have recourse TO
the more subtle and less easily detected
vegetable Poisons. which could in no case
be placed beyond their reach The pres
ent hin provides for the control of the
sale Of poisons and places the importa-
ton Of white arsenic under license. but
the measure Will not be obligatory upon
the local governments.

PRISON YAWNs FOR HIM.
American Newspaper Correspondent
Wanted in Mexico

City of Mexico, Oct. 3.-Erancis 2. Sa-
vinien. an American newspaper CORE
pondent expects momentarily to be
thrown into prison on a cooked-up charge
of criminal libel. The Beneficiencia Lot
terry Company has brought suit for Grim
inal libel against him; Judge Espinosa. of
the First Correctional Court, has sum-
moned Savinien to answer the charge
against him: secret police surround him;
the newspapers most strongly suspected
of being subsidized by the government and
the lottery companies talk loudly of his
''mendacious calumny'' and his ''calumi-
nous mendacity.'
All because Savinien was brave enough
to tell the truth about the Mexican lot
teries. He sent dispatch TO American
newspapers in which he thus quoted Mr..
James w. burst. an American, formerly
a detective, now prospecting in his min
ing operations, in this country:
II can assert positively that it Is ut
terly impossible for anybody outside the
through the lotteries. The only prizes
that have been won in the last year of
any importance were two capital prizes
of 5000 gold each. These were both
won by Mrs. Diaz. wife Of the PreSi-
dent It having been undoubtedly so ar
ranged that she should win them so as
to give the lotteries the advertisement
that makes business for them
In the Mexican play facts count for
nothing. The law makes il libelous to
write or publish anything derogatory to
any one. even the most hardened Grim
inals.
The Benefciencia Lottery Company
claims to sell thousands Of tickets in
the United States. So when Mr.. Saw
MEMS dispatch concerning its workings
came back here the company immedi-
ately proceeded TO try TO punish him.
Its organs are wailing thus:
LAS regards the drawing of two great
prizes By lady-the wife of an exalted
personage-this is reckless and wantom
lie, which all good citizens will desire
10 see traced to its author. who should
receive exemplary punishment"
The newspapers that favor the lot
teries also talk feelingly about the dan
GER of estranging two great republics"
by such untruthful dispatches as Savinien
sent
