Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., January 1, 1904.
The fact that weather conditions has
nothing wha to do with the opening of
season in Atlantic City has been demon
strated this week by an influx Of visitors
without parallel in the history of the town
as winter resort 1t would seem that the
season is a fixture in the minds of the visi-
tors. Fashion has set the opening Of the
new year as the opening of the fashionable
season in Atlantic City. The only difference
between the Inauguration of the fashiona BILE
season this year as against previous years
was that the throng began coming earlier
than heretofore. AS late as last Monday
morning the registers OF the beach front
hotels have shown an increase in the num-
Der of arrivals beyond the best eXpecta tons
of the hotel proprietors. The large per-
centage of the visitors at this time are from
New York and Philadelphia, although
there is large number of southerners in
the throng. The weather has been ideal for
this season of the year. every day has been
crisp, cold and full of glorious sunshine.
There was little snow furry Wednesday
morning, which lasted for an hour and was
simply a hint to what the visitors were
escaping. The sun shown through the
fakes most of the time and disipated them
within the hour.
The city has been in the throes of politics
during the week and the councilmen appar-
emily to show their contempt for the will of
the people rejected the plan for the beauti-
fication of the town in the shape of a ma
rine park at the inlet. The result has been
an intense feeling against the city govern
ment which portends a revolution in the
near future. The action of the city coun-
ell, however, has had an effect on the citi-
zers that will rebound to the Identification
of the town even more than IL the scheme
of series of city parks had been agreed to-.
AS a defiance to the city solons more than
LOCO citizens have ordered trees and shrub
berry for the Identification of their proper
ties and the result in that will be accom-
plished.
The scheme of the Atlantic City Driving
Association to construct a track on the
Chelsea Heights territory has been pushed
to conclusion and the first series Of races
was yesterday. The track was in fine con-
dition and the records made were up to pro-
fessional marks although the events were
purely for exhibition purposes. A syndicate
of local capitalists will establish a steam
ship line between this city and New York
by the coming of the summer season. Rep
| resentattves Of the syndicate have taken an
option on a piece of land at the inlet as a
terminal for the line

Irving az Danta

At the New National Theater, before an
audience that completely filed the house,
in play consisting Of a prologue and four
acts, numbering twelve scenes, Henry Irving
gave a series of pictures and episodes
credited to the life of Dante. rather than
an historical impersonation of that great
poet Forty-eight people in speaking parts
completed highly effective picturesque
cast
While wonderfully impressive in its sim
plicity, still to the admirers of Irving the
character of Dante portrayed by Vic
torien Sardou and Emile Moresu gives him
no brilliant opportunities to display his con-
summate art as an actor of tragic activity.
AS Dante he is the epitome Of suppressed
suffering and emotion. In the prologue, his
love scene with Pia is replete with the ten
derest and most passionate sentiment. AS
ly as in his most tragic despair.
The clear-cut features of the poet We
have learned to know in bronze stand out
with a startling likeness as Irving makes
his first appearance. For the first time too,
in his present repertoire the real musical
quality Of his voice is allowed to assert it
self, and to the flowing rhythm in his
most suggestively managed robes is added
the further beauty of his intonation.
To an actor only Of the greatest skill
could a personally conducted journey
through the Inferno" even by so unique
and fllustrious a guide as the poet Virgil,
be possible without a suggestion of gro
tesQueness. In this vision scene Irvings
dignity saves the act from an impression

pany the presentation Is notable for its
scenic rather than its poetic and dramatic
quality.

Japanese Poetry.
From the Reader.


A western poet wandering through a
pine forest at night and suddenly perceiving
in the utter darkness a CLEAN OF silver
light. might compare the moon shining to
some fairy palace with glttering window
panes; in short, to some object Of his ex
perience or imagination. The Japanese poet,
on the other hand, would compare the
glimmering light to "a moonlit crag of
Fusiyama.'
The Japanese always remains an OBJ
server. He never becomes one with ma
ture. He does not possess the faculty of
endowlng inanimate objects with life To
invest clouds and woods with human
thoughts and desires, as. for instance Shelly
has done, seems bald and meaningless to
him, and such a sentence as Aurora. veil

The Projectiles We Use.

From the Scientific American.
We have now armor-piercing projectiles,
deck piercing projectiles. semi-armor-pierc-
ing projectiles, common forged and cast
steel projectiles, cast-iron projectiies,
shrapnel, and SO on, in endless variety. As
the work the gun, whether ashore or afioat,
will have to do dan be pretty clearly pre-
at most two. kinds of projectiles were
enough. These two would naturally have,
the one high penetrative power, and the
other a large capacity for internal charge,
giving great destructive power when the
shell is burst. No one who has not exam
med carefully the effect of bursting a shell
In a closed space can have an idea of its
destructiveness. A small 6-pounder shell,
Of about 2A-inch diameter. containing or
ounces of powder, burst in an ordinary
room and breaking into 20 or 30 fragments,
would probably destroy everything in the
room.

A WOMAN PLAYWRIGHT s SUCCESS.
The notable success of her latest play,
Under Southern Skies" in which Miss
Victorson is playing the leading role, has
established Mrs. Lottie Blair Parker as
one OF the foremost feminine dramatists.
This remarkable woman, whose "'Way
Down East has made an immense sum of
money has written several plays, none of
which has been an out-and-out failure.
Mrs. Parker does not come of a theatrical
or literary family. Her girlhood was passed
without the slightst idea of piaywrighting.

'Under Southern Skies" is now in its
third year of uninterrupted success. playing
to crowded houses wherever 1t has ap-
peared. The strong story showing the
broken life and hearts of man and wo-
man and the almost wrecked happiness of
a young girl has never failed to hold an au-
dience fascinated and deeply interested
from the opening of the play to the fall of
the final curtain.
In bringing out this absorbing story the
author Lottie Blair Parker, who also wrote
way Down East" has followed the same
method of work which made Way Down
East satisfactory. She has made each
one of the twenty-three characters in
Under Southern Skies a distinct type of
individual life as found in the south. The
