METROPOLITAN
"Fi1een AsthOre"

In "Eileen Asthore,' the new play in
which Chauncey Olcott will be seen at
the Metropolitan during the entire
week, opening tonight, the dramatist,
Theodore Burt Sayre, has chosen most
exciting epoch for his plot and has
evolved story unique, thrilling and
fascinating
1t pictures life at the beginning of
the nineteenth century in Dublin, that
hotbed of revolt, when England was
warning with France with one hand and
with the other trying to suppress Rob-
ert Emmett and his fellow patriots.
He has written for Mr.. Olcott a charac-
ter, Richard Temple, well suited to the
comedians personality and which will
prove delight to his legion of follow
ers.
Richard Temple is young man of
his period; dashing, handsome, graceful.
witty, living the careless existence of
the young man of fashion in the salon
or taproom Of Dublin when it was con-
sidered the most brilliant capital of Eu-
rope and when reckless blades loved,
rhymed, drank, gambled and fought
duels, while the great drama of empire
went on around them.
AS the play opens, the lines are clos
ing about young Temple. Life up to
this time has seemed to him really a
huge joke and he has gone the PAGES,
tossed away his money, become hopeless,
ly involved in debt and incurred the
displeasure of his father, who died dis
inheriting him. He is bounded by cred
itors and the only escape open to him
seems to be to flee his country and en-.
list under the French flag. His beset.
ting vice is drink and he has made nc
effort to curb this appetite. Yet he is
hghthearted and happy and never har-
bors, sorrows, or makes resolutions to
break.
Then chance plays him trick. He
meets sweet Eileen O'Donnell, fair as
treasure), falls in love with her at a
glance, hears his condemnation from
her lips and resolves to turn right about
and prove his worthiness
In the development of his plot Mr.
Sayre has employed none Of the time
worn articles to sustain interest. The
drama is moving, the suspense always
sustained, and the comedy situations
capital. Mr.. Olcott who, from the time
OF his first appearance in Irish drama
has directed every endeavor toward its
elevation, is delighted with his new
character and has written and composed
four new songs for the production.

LETTER CAME BACK
TO BREAK UP A FAMILY
Conscientious Postoffice Brings Paris
Physician Evidence on Which He Sc
cures Divorce from Wife Whom He
Had Not Suspected.

Special Gable to The Journal.
Paris, Aug. 25.-Just one figure of .
street number wrong on the address OF
q letter has resulted in a divorce. DR..
Georges Pireau was the petitioner. He
is young physician of Charities. He
told the court most remarkable story.
Some months ago he was called upon
to serve his thirteen days in the army
and went to Dijon to the military camp.
He left his wife at home, but later she
was to join him at Dijon and did so.
When he returned home after his mill
tary service, among the letters was one
from the postoffice undelivered. It
was addressed to a man in the Boule-
ward Montparnasse, Paris, but bore q
wrong number, and SO the postoffice, az
is usual, returned it to the address Of
the sender.
But DR.. Pireau was not the sender, al
tho the letter was written on his Of
flee notepaper. The writer was fel-
low physician and former friend Of
his and his family.
The letter told with what delight the
writer would soon embrace his Partisan
friend, for he was coming for the week
end. But he would not be alone and
the friend was not to mention to
"Therese,' his mistress, that visit
to Paris was projected. His companion.
the writer continued, was the pretty
wife Of DR.. Georges Pireau.
I am on very good terms with her, -
he wrote, "and we will spend some
days in Paris. Then she will 90 on
to her husband, who is doing his mill
tary service in Dion. "
DR.. Pireau told the court that until
he read the, letter, he had not enter
tanned the slightest suspicion that his
wife was untrue to him He had imna-
diately confronted her and her lover
with the letter and they had confessed.
He had wounded the lover and false
friend. in a duel and now, not wishing
to belong to the brotherhood Of the
husbands Of Moiere, he prayed for
divorce. He got it without a moment q
hesitation.
