Great passions will ever carry it over

of the chief scene OF Ga Malade Ina

chair. 1t is carried on by q couple Of
lackeys, as though it had just been re-
moved from a furniture van, and Is
planted right In the middle of the
stage. That chair Is the very one In
which Moliere, playing the part of Ar

Off. 1t Is buAone of the treasures of a
house that Is perfect museum not
only Of historic properties, but Of the
whole art Of the stage.
In the greenroom, as ". Delorme, Its
historian, has told us, IN the committee
room, In the office Of the administra-
tor, in the archivesY In every part Of
the theater to which the public has no
access, there is prodigious mass Of
full length portraits, Of medallions, Of
genre pictures, of engravings, draw
ings, marbles, bronzes, of statuettes.
These, with the works exhibited in the
public rooms, form a unique collection
whereof every piece belongs in some
sort to the history of the house of Mo-
liere.
The museum of accessories Is as rich
In its way as the museum of painting
and statuary. Here we may find the
mandolin used In 1.-THE Barber Of Sc
ville," an instrument Of rare beauty
of form, purity of tone and antiquity
Of make. Here too. is the original gui-
tar of The Marriage of Figaro" When
the piece came out In 1874 the man

The German consul at vladlvostok

He says she was loaded with fish and
fish manure. The captain was given
20 minutes In which to abandon his

justification for sinking the Thea than
for sinking the knight Commander,
