surely agree with him. A few years
ago lovers of the drama in this coun-
try became discouraged over the condi-
ton Of the art and seriously considered
the plan of an endowed theater. At
that time musical comedy appeared to
reign supreme and a Shakespearean
production was considered a losing VEN
ture. But they mistook for a settled
condition what was merely an ebb.
Within the past two years a reaction
has set in and today the future of the
drama in this country is full of bril-
liant promise
The only possible justification for the
establishment of a national theater
would be the support it might give the
American playwright. There is no
doubt that in the past American man
ayers have refused to consider him
and have relied almost exclusively on
foreign importations. But even for
him the future is very promising. Not
only have some of the big theatrical
mana gers shown a disposition within
the past year or so to give the works
Of native dramatists a hearing, but we
even have one American manager, Mr..
Savage, who has announced his inten-
ton of producing American plays ex-
clusively in the London theater he has
leased. So without any support from
such an institution as the endowed
theater it will be seen that there is
every prospect of the American play
wright coming into his own.
Considering the youth of the nation,
the history Of the drama in this coun-
try has been notably brilliant. We have
produced greater actors than play
wrights, but this was to be expected,
since dramatic literature requires
above all things a settled condition for
its development. America has produced
great managers as well as great play
ers, and there is every reason to expect
that she will produce some great play
wrights. And these latter like the
managers and the players, may rely
confidently upon the verdict of the
people. In a country where culture is
so widely disseminated and where the
average of intelligence is so high,
neither an endowed theater nor CEN
sor is necessary. Left to themselves
the people will support the best and the
cleanest. This has been proved again
and again in the history Of dramatic
literature in this country.

THE KEY TO THE EAST.

The Siberian railway, upon which
the government of Russia depended as
the principal means for carrying out
it's scheme of territorial aggrandize-
ment in the far East, is apparently not
meeting the expectations of the SOL
diers and statesmen who caused its
construction. It has been practically
demonstrated that the road is badly
built, incapable Of carrying any con-
siderable amount Of traffic and value
less, or nearly so, in such an emer-
gency as now confronts Russia.
The statesman who conceived the
idea of building the Siberian railroad
had grand thought; and 1t is to be
regretted, for his sake, that the engi-
neers and contractors who pretended to
carry his idea out were not practical
and measurably honest men.
1t was estimated that the line could
be built, single track, from st. Peters,
burg to Vladivostok, distance Of $500
miles, at a cost Of $3.50, ,OOO-the
construction to be Of the same general
character as that Of the railroads in
Russia proper. AS matter of fact it
cost $5OO,OOO,O0O to build a line $500
miles long, connecting the Russian rail
way system with Vladivostok. English
and American engineers who have gone
over the Siberian railway say it is
joke SO far as meeting the ordinary
demands of traffic are concerned. Ex-
cept in some few sections it is i'm
possible to maintain speed, the rails
spread, some of the grades are impos-
sible. 1t is even said that, given plenty
of time for the perfecting of the work,
the Siberian road could not be made
practicable-from the point Of view of
the American railroad engineer.
These views are substantiated by the
obvious difficulty under which the
transport department Of the Russian
army struggles. 1t is evident that all
the resources Of the road have not

FEATs OF MODERN SURGERY.


The other day a New York physi-
clan removed a patients heart, re-
paired it, oiled it, regulated it and re-
placed it and the patient lived to testify
to the truth of the story. Not so re-
Gently the general public was advised,
through the medium of medical jour
nal, Of the success of an experiment
in nerve grating. And now there
comes out of Germany the tale of an
other remarkable surgical feat which
shows that the talent Of the surgeon
can be combined with the talent Of
the inventor for the benefit of human
ity. German doctor has invented
machine which permits the exposure
Of the human lungs for operative pur-
poses. The invention is an air tight
cabinet large enough to hold the pa
tient and the surgeon and his assistant
and so arranged that the air pressure
can be lightened sufficiently to keep
the exposed lung from collapsing.
Time was when to have ones appen-
dix removed impaired a certain dis
tinction to the appendixless one. The
newspapers were glad to print his
name and even the medical journals
did not disdain to mention him. But
though surgeons continue to remove
appendices, from force of habit, doubt
less, the operation has long ceased to
be considered an event in medical cir
cles, and the general public is demand.
ing something more thrilling. To
have ones heart taken out and re-
paired, to have another mans ear
grated on the spot formerly occupied
by ones own ear, to serve as the sub
ject in a nerve grating experiment to
have ones eyes removed, washed, pol
ished and replaced is to be a hero or a
heroine to ones doctor and an object
Of interest to the public; but nothing
less important than one of these ex-
periences will gain one such honor and
such attention.
Modern surgery is an investigating
Bulge that is fond of taking the watch
apart in order to see the wheels go
round. But whereas Bulge was a saw
age, surgery represents civilization. It
removes and examines the wheels in
order to make the mechanism as good
as new. Mankind is making fewer and
fewer objections to the demands sur
gerry makes upon it. Without demur a
patient loans his heart or his eyes or
cheerfully gives away his appendix, for
he is learning to have faith in the firm.
nerveless hands that WELD the knife.
And while it is undoubtedly true that
all the stories of the marvellous feats
OF surgery which reach the ears Of the
public are not true, a sufficient num-
Der Of them have been vouched for TO

Mr.. CARNEGIE AND A NATIONAL
THEATER.

Recently certain friends of Andrew
Carnegie, learning that the impulse to
give had seized him, suggested that he
devote a few Of his millions to for
warding the endowed theater project.
The plan did not appeal to the Scotch
multi-millionaire and he did not hest
tate to say so. "The only way to endow
a theater is to buy theater tickets at
the box office" he is reported to have
said. And the majority of people will

This state of affairs might have been
looked for. 1t was hardly possible that
a government administered by bribery
such great work as a practicable rail-
road line traversing such a great dis
lance in so short a space Of time.
Russia is more likely to be defeated
through the cupidity and incapacity Of
the men who built the Siberian railroad
than by the valor of the Japanese.

CRUISERS DECK WAS
SLIPPERY WITH BLOOD

ST. PETERSBURG, April 8. - The
Now Krai, of Port Arthur. thus de-
scribes the scene on board the cruiser
Bayan during the recent bombardment
in which she distinguished herself:
Bursting shells bowled over man
after man, until the decks were slip
perry with blood. Amidst this hell the
captain stood unmoved on the coming
tower, calmly telephoning his orders
to the gun captains. His wonderful
calmness had a marvellous influence
upon all the officers.
THE cockpit was soon crowded,
