Hebrew Theatrical Season.

The festival OF Succoth marks the actual
beginning of the Yiddsh theatrical season.
in so far as the production of new plays is
concerned. and the managers in New York
city have now In preparation a crop OF new
plays that Will attract the usual holiday
audiences. The remarkable thing about all
these plays is that not one of them Is the
work Of a well-known dramatist. In pre-
vious years the new plays were always
made by experienced hands. but now sew
eral beginners are given chance to try
their ability.
The new play that will be given at the
Kalish Theater Is written by young must
clan who is a member Of the orchestra of
the theater. The young man IS I. Zakin
and his play. which is described as a Lee
bens-bild in four acts is called THE In
heritance-
The play at the Grand Theater which Mr.
Adler will produce during the holidays will
be called '"Fhe Business Man, or the Down
town Parents and the Uptown Children"
and It's title gives some clew to the posi-
bilities of the plot The play is the work
Of A. Alexandroff, who belongs to the radi-
cal circle of Jewish journalists and has
contributed extensively TO the literary and
dramatic criticisms OF the Jewish news
papers. Mr.. Alexandroff's first dramatic
effort, which was produced at this house
last year. was a fiat failure. In spite of the
strenuous efforts of Mr.. and Mrs. Adler
to make 1t go.
At the Peoples Theater Mr.. Boris Thorn

playwright, and the musical piece In four
acts and ten pictures" which he offers is
to be called ''The Jewish Yankee Doodle"
This win be melodramatic, musical play.

mainly of statistical details, while Gen.
Barry discusses various features OF army
life. He speaks of the efficiency of the sea-
coast batteries, saying that in many in
stances 100 per cent has been made In prac-
tice by eight and tea-inch batteries at tar
cS.s moving FIVE to ten miles an hour at
1nges between five and seven thousand
yards.
Gen. Barry believes that 1t would be less
difficult to retain efficient men In the ar
tliery service II there were more frequent
changes In stations. Some of the seacoast
artillery companies have been at their pres
ent stations in southern iautudes from FIVE
to nine years.
Gen. Barry is strong advocate OF the
canteen. THE experience OF tie past year,
says he. emphasizes the recommendation
OF last year that the discipline and con-
tentment of the enlisted men would be in
creased were the post exchange fully es-
tablished. with the privilege of selling beer
and light wines. The denial of this privilege

Gen. Barry says that IL the projected rail-
road from Miami TO Key West be con-
structed II will very much enhance the inn
portanee OF that station, for II will place
1t many miles nearer the isthmus by rail-
than any gulf port.

CREDIT FOR GOOD WORK.

A Former Washington Newspaper
Man Decorated by French Government
From Lesle's Weekly.
The complaint is often raised that large
enterprises stif1e individualism; that the
worker becomes a part Of a great machine
and that the organization. as a whole, gets
credit for his achievements. The fact re-
mains that now, as in the past. the honest
worker who, having his task set for him,
does it faithfully and WELL is usually given
full and ungrudging credit. Sometimes.
however, a man who displays conspicuous
ability is singled out for recognition above
his fellows. 1t gives US great pleasure. in
this connection. to record the case Of
Charles T. Thompson, the talented young
American who Is manager, In Paris for the
Associated Press. who has been decorated
with the cross of the Legion Of Honor by
the French government. This honor has
come to Mr. Thompson not for any special
service rendered to the government ITSELF
but for his achievements which have bene-
flied the entire reading world For his
skillfulness and zeal in collecting and dis
tributing news Mr.. Thompson has made an
enviable reputation. The Paris Office Is An
extremely important one. for through 1t Ii
handled all the news OF southwestern Eu-
rope. Mr.. Thompson's home Is In Detroit
Mich. He was educated at Ann Arbor,
and before beginning his work for the AS
ISOLATED Press he served as Washington
correspondent for a number of well-known
western newspapers.

pairs for the schools in the next year. as
against $4,000 allowed for that purpose this
year.

DIPLOM PUZZLED
FRENCH ATTITUDE II
VENEZUELA.
TOWARD

Members OF the diplomatic corps who
have studied the Venezuelan question are
at loss to understand why the French
government SHOULD consider a resort to
force necessary in the case OF Venezuela
when the differences between the two
countries are 30 readily adjustable by
simple diplomatic methods. AS understood
here. the Venezuelan president Is perfect
ly willing to negotiate with the French
government regarding the case of the
French Cable Company. but declines to
have any dealings with M. Taigny. the
French charge at Caracas, who is persona
non grata to the authorities. Instead Of
changing its diplomatic representative,
which Is the invariable rule in such cases,
the French government is understood to
demand that President Castro shall treat
with M. Taigny and with no one else, and
Is preparing to make q naval demonstra-
ton In Venezuelan waters.
No Money to Pay Claims.
The Venezuelan situation. Is complicated
by the fact that the entire revenues of
Venezuela are pledged to its creditors for
many years to come and the further fact
that the Monroe doctrine precludes the ac-
QUESTION Of territory In the Latin American
states.
By the convention Of 1902 resulting from
shS OLocAd0e VI It's pOrtS Dy Germany, Italy
and England, Venezuela agreed to assign a
third OF the net customs receipts of La
Guira and Puerto Cabello to the liquidation
OF certain debts to creditor countries ex-
elusive OF the outstanding bonds held by
European purchasers and recognized as
valid by the Caracas government. BY a
more recent agreement lately signed in Eu-
rope President Castro made over the re-
naming two-thirds Of the revenues Of Ven
ezuela to Great Britain and Germany as
trustees for the benefit of European hold
ers Of Venezuelan bonds aggregating about
$50. 100000.
1t therefore appears that outside of terri
tory Venezuela has nothing remaining to
satisfy French or United States claims for
damages arising out Of an alleged wrong
ful conffscation of the property OF French
cable company and Of an American asphalt
company. The United States government
is. Of course, estopped from the seizure of
land and is equally bound to prevent such
action on the part of another government
Although Venezuela may have no assets
left with which to pay damages she can
OF course reinstate the claimants in pos
session of the properties and franchises
whereof they have been deprived. but there
Is not the slightest indication Of such ac-
ton at present.

West End

Expressions in high praise Of Commits
sioner Vests administration and of his re-
appointment to succeed himself are heard
in all sections of Georgetown, where the

Georgetown citizens are going to urge
that large appropriation be made for the
purpose of providing ample Fairgrounds

render the situation embarrassing.
The first step in this direction is a Pc
htion for the purchase Of adjacent property

The property Is to be had for a nominal
figure and would form an ideal play
ground for the children. Steps will be
