posed Of large number Of manuscript
plays. There must be some curlosties
among them, The first play Of all In
the list is probably THE Drunkard,"

good deal in its construction for the
stage to William II. Smith. who was

on account Of their eccentricltles. Alex
ander was advanced to the servian

should marry a European princess. But
Il is claimed that the lady refused him,
when she saw him, regarding him as
impossible as a husband, and finally he

fortunately. she had no child, and the
succession TO the throne was assigned
to Prince Mirko, son Of the prince Of
Montenegro aud brother Of the beauti-
fal queen Of Italy Queen Draga was
the object OF much abuse In the pal
ace, and finally she conceived the idea
OF trying to palm Of a son Of her sister
as her own. She was detected in this
scheme, and lately the king has threat
ened TO institute divorce proceedings,
King Alexander Is also remembered
for the irreconcilabe attitude he as
sumed toward his father, Milan, who

army TO take the life OF his father

Then the King died. as many said, Of a
broken heart, and Alexander was justly
censured for his unnlial conduct, no
less than for his brutality as hus-
band.
But the suspension Of the Serylan
constitution was his latest mistake, and
that which sealed his doom That in
suument did not suit him. BY means Of
the secret ballot, he was rendered pow
crless to change Il legally, and there

other constitution, aud further busted

however gave the latter the oppor-

pressed by many persons and public
Journals. The action Of the Presbyter-
ian Assembly In passing resolutions Of
the kind mentioned supported by no

The contrast between the action OF

too striking To escape notice. II Mr.,
Roosevelt had believed smoot 10 be

No little Indignation has been aroused
In England by the reported threat OF
the Macedonian revolutionary leaders
to distribute Indian plague bacllli in
Salonlca. Constantinople and certain
European cities, and, In case the powers
do not intervene to send into the
grave myriads OF the people Of Europe,
the continent which has robbed us OF
our liberty" Some Of the Macedonian
revolutIonists are desperate and un-
scrupulous men. capable OF almost any
crime, but not even the worst Of them
would be likely 70 engage In such
foolish and flendish enterprise as intro
ducing the Indian plague in European
cities. II they were TO attempt an act

The threat could be easily carried out
and its consequences are too easy to i'm
aglne. The ravages Of the plague in
Constantinople, one OF the fthiest
towns on earth would be unspeakable.
salonlca would be in little better case,
Berlin, typical modern European
city. would have little TO fear. The
suggestion IS in keeping with that made
by irresponsible fanatics during the
American civil war to infect northern
cities with yellow fever The conse-
Quences Of this course are not likely 20
be what these Bulgarian patriots ex-
pect. A continuation OF the present pro-
gram may rouse Europe against them
no less than against the Turk. Such
threat Is confession Of weakness
and the last resort Of desperate out
casts from civilization, If Europe is to
be stirred against the Turk It must

LAST OF THE BOSTON MUSEUM.
Boston Post.

Boston Post.
The curtain has dropped on the stage
OF the Boston Museum for the last
time. The lights are out forever In a
playhouse which for two generations
has made theatrical history not only In
Boston, but in the United States The
career OF the Boston Museum spans the
period Of the development OF the drama
in Boston. Sixty-two years ago 1t was
established by Moses Klmball as a COM
promise, a subterfuge, bywhlch the ira
ditional prejudice against playhouses
might be satisfied. II was museum Of
curioslties with a dramatic attachment.
From this beginning IL developed into
a theater In which the best that the art
afforded was produced and all the
great names Of the histrionic profess
sion have at some time been associated
with It's entertainments.

STILL TALKING WAR.

According to the latest adyices from
eastern Asia. war is still expected to
break out between Russia and Japan,
over Manchuria The Japanese, It Is
claimed. are gathering IN large force In
Korea. IN the guise Of settlers. on the
other hand, Russia Is said to increase
her strength IN Mauchuria, instead of
eyaouatlng that province. Port Arthur,
the dispatches say, Is one succession OF
large camps. In answer TO Chinese
questions the Russians say they expect
war with Japan whose troops would
most likely Try TO enter Manchuria
through the western coast Of Liaotung,
and Russian officers, friendly with chi
hese. have earnestly advised them to
return with their families to China ana
not come back until after the war, on
the ground that the whole Of Liaotung
and southern Manchuria viii soon be a
great battlefield
II these adyices are correct the sit
uatiol IN the far east is critical, China,
Of cuursc, would join japan against
Russia, should a contict occur, for ia
pan takes the field for China's integrity
ana the cren door, but China is not yet
well prepared for war and her aid
would be Of little value, except indl-
recty, Japan would have to depend on
herself ana her own resources, and 1t
* by no means certain that Russia
would have an easy task to accomplish.
II would at least be as difficult to beat
the japanese, as II was to overcome the
Turks in lSi1 And II would be a much
more costly war. II is a question
whether Russia would nos get worsted
The conflict may not be imminent but
IN M opinion OF those vino are In po-

sian government has invested colossal
SUMS IN railroad construction: and can
not afford TO withdraw and give the
control OF Manchuria to another goy'
eminent. II can as little afford to do
this, as the United States can afford to
build the Panama canal without secur-
iag permanent control over the strip
Of land through which the canal runs.
The CAGES are parallel.
Japan, or the other hand, Is not pre-
pared to permit Russia to assume con-
uol. without a struggle. And for years
she hag been preparing roT this. Since
the boxer disturbances, the sole aim OF
the japanese has been to obtain the

thrust out as it was upon the public
street.
Here for nearly century, accord
ing to tradition, if not authentic
history, that porch has stood, hos
pitably extending its shelter by
night and by day to the public and
out upon the public.
1t has sheltered the guests of the
old mansion and has been the scene
of fashionable functions and much
eclat.
1t has sheltered the weary passerss
by including the loater and the
tramp. The "festive hum" has
there slept off his Jag" with no
blue coated "cop" to modest or make
him afraid. And now when it is
