There is much drawing Of swords. much pulling at

''The Harvester. "

Mr Richepin's drama. now entitled The Har-
vester" which has been acted In England under the
name OF Ragged Robin" was presented last night
at the Lyric Theatre and Mr.. Otis Skinner return
ing 10 this capital where he is always and deserv-
edly welcome. unprecedented its central part The
play has already been freely described 1t is pastoral
in character pure in spirit. and aliurng by reason
OF rugged humanity and tender feeling. The chief
character assumed by Mr. Skinner. 10 a genial
wandering laborer. half vagabond. half phloso-
pher. and altogether comrade and good fellow
The story displays him engaged in retrieving an
error Of his youth and. in measure. adjusting
consequences so as to assuage suffering and paliate
the retributive punishment Of sin. Mr.. Skinner
finds in this character a sprlC congenial with his
own. and the play affords him abundant opportu-
nity for manifestation OF his broad, manly. vgor-
Gus and sympathetic style. In the scene OF the
fathers recognition of his son he put forth his
powers with passionate sincerity that carried the
house by storm. His success could not be doubted.
and 1t is the kind OF success that it is pleasure

criticised George Berdine Prosecutor OF the Pleas
OF ATiddlesex County. for not extraditng two per-
sons against whom Freeman had laid complaints
One OF these is Irene Wiley. a coIored chamber
maid. who is charged with stealing Freeman's
undershirt and household articles. The girl got
out on bail after being indicted and Is now in

back to stand trial for the larceny.
The other person Freeman is after is Robert
Kilbourn. OF Philadelphia. Kilbourn owed Free
man 81 for coal and. after attachment had been
laid on the Kilbourn goods. Kilbourn rendered
drafts on a fictitious Philadelphia bank IN payment
The drafts amounted TO 81 80 more than the claim.
Kilbourn got that much change. When the
drafts were found to be- worthless the goods under
attachment were sold and Freeman and other
creditors received about SO cents on the dollar.
Freeman lodged a charge of obtaining money under
false pretences against Kilbourn because OF ths

had gone TO Philadelphia and could not be
rested except by extradition
Prosecutor Berdine declined to institute extradi-
ton proceedings against either defendant, because
OF the insignificant amount involved. Freeman
denounced him. declaring that he had offered to
hire a lawyer of his to prosecute the cases
If Berdine would not The Prosecutor. he said,
would not permit this being done.
To-day the Prosecutor made a statement In
which he declared the opinion Of other lawyers

James Bryce. the English lawyer and member

lectures on The Science of Law yesterday in

with the relations and interdependence OF law to
the cognate branches Of history psychology ethics
economics and politics. The speaker was intro

10 the hungry populace.
Finally. Charles E. Evans. in the all important
role of the Yankee, is not by any means ideal The
part was written for Frank Moulan. Hitchcock
should really have played it. Evans does his best
and keeps the safe side of failure but he is far
from looking or seeming the part and often convie-
uon comes with a strain, and laugh follows.
In the main, all the principals sing badly and
though the chorus is attractive as has been seen
IN a long day. the numerous songs lacked inish
a sense Of style in performance which is so pleas
lngly prominent in the work OF the cast of THE
ochool Girl and of other English musical plays
only Miss Christie Macdonald was an exception
she gave performance marked by grace, sweet
ness and quiet but irresistible charm. making the
work OF the others noisy and provincial.
