WHISTLER TABLET

1t is not often that such recognition

the rolls Of the Academy on account Of
his inability to maintain a suitable rat

seems to have cared but little for his

In referring to his stay at West
Point WGsstler was always kind. /, not

spoke Of himself as belonging 10 fthe
army. As he had failed at West Point
he afterward failed in the Coast sur

failure and in spite OF his lack of oh

for himself an individusl sphere and a

AMERICAN WOMAN
WRITES PLAY THAT
PLEASES LONDON
Madeline Lucette Ryley
Wins Audiences, But
Not Critics.
D e oy Love Affairs
Turns Out to Be Real
Affection.

LONDON. Nov. 2.-Lcndon's latest
new theater, the Queens, has been
opened with a successful comedy writ
ten by an American woman THE Sugar
Bowl by Madeline Lucette Ryley.
pleases the audience by its simple charm
and ingenuousneSs, and with Ellis JEFF
freys and Fred Kerr. two favorite
players with London audiences, may
have a considerable run Of popularity.
still, the critics, while admitting that
the idea of the plot is good describe
the execution and dialogue as mediocre
Grace Penlberton is a society girl who
has been "Out" nine London seasons
and is still without a fance. Her
mother, ne3ry despairing Of getting her
of, worries her about the delay to such
an extent that Grace devises a little
trap TO lure eligible men,
ATTaDges for Deeoy Lover.
She arrangcs with Sir Basil LoriRg,
a middle-aged diploma, that he shall be
a sort OF decoy fly TO bring the other
flies around the sugar bowl. (Hence the
quaint title of the piecc.) He is to pay
her attention for month on the strict
understanding that nothing shall be
taken seriously by either Of them, her
object being simply TO use Sir Basil s
influence TO attract other suitOrs. Why
a charming woman, such as Miss JEFF
freys cannot help making Grace, should
have TO descend to such subterfuge is
a little puzzling, but, or course, the
ruse IS the kernel Of the plot.
Nothing loath, Sir Basil agrees to act
as the decoy ny. The importance of
his position makes his assumption Of
the part very effective, and suitors come
focking around. The play IS really too
successful as what the experienced
playgoer expects comes tc pass. The
trap entraps the trapper and her decoy
IN a serious love affair.
Even Mother Fooled.
Meanwhile. Grace's mother, who is in
financial difficulties and knows nothing
OF her daughters compact with L,oring,
has taken the pretended attachment
seriously. and begins to speculate on the
coming 'advantageous" marriage Of her
daughter, raising money on her pros
poets.
Finding herself and Loring involved in
a real love AFFAIR. Grace is alarmed at
the false position into which she imag-
ines she has brought him. and refuses
10 marry him After many maneuvers
and misunderstanding which might
have been cleared away by the exercise
of a little candor-which stage people
never possess-the couple finally decide
TO make a lasting contract Of their tenn
pOraTy strategem.
The fault the critics find in Mrs. Ry
ley's comedy is that it is artificial in
construction, and that the story has un-
interesting characters. Several clever
people like Herbert Sleath and Edmund
Gwenn are burdened with tnankless
parts. but Miss Jenreys and Fred Kerr
take every advantage of the opportuni-
ties given them.

AN AMERICAN
VIEW OF THE SITUATION.

New York, July 19.-DeclarinS that
the japanese control over Korea is de-
bauching the Koreans and fast tending
to the complete eradication of Korea
as state. Homer b. Hulburt, for many
years engaged IN educational work in
Korea, is here To-Day on mission from
Korea to bring to the attention OF the
United States government and the peo-
pie of this country the conditions in
Korea under the Japanese protector
ate. Mr.. Hulburt arrived today upon
the steamship Deutschland with his
family, after a two months journey
from Seoul. He said the sending of
the Korean delegation to The Hague
had been made preteNt OF by Japan
to force the abdication of the emperor
and SO gain further control over Korea.
Mr.. Hulburt went to Korea over 20
years ago to engage in educational
work, at the request of the Korean
government.
Korea is thoroughly outraged" said
MIR. Hulburt, over the injustice which
the Japanese are heapiug upon her,
and the Koreans are angered beyond
words. Still they feel the dread hope
lessness of their position. The ko-
reans look upon the japanese as saw
ages. They are insulted and debauched,
but can do pothing. have seen Jap
boy rush out into the street and be-
labor n Korean gentleman with a stick
and laugh. The Korean could do moth
ing. for protests to the Japanese would
avail nothing. The Japanese have seized
their salt works, driven away the Ko-
rean fishermen from their fishing
grounds and taken every form of profit
able industry in the country for them
selves. The Koreans will tell you that
the Japanese are striving to drive them
from the country that they may occu-
py it for themselves. Japan wants Ko-
Isa for herself. and while the govern
nent at Toxic Is openly declaring that
Korea Is open for the trade of the
secret act to aid her merchants by
every foreign merchant out of the coun-
try.
Japan is debauching the morals OF
the Koreans by selling them morphine
in great quantities. Especially is this
true in Northern Korea"
Mr. Hulburt said that the accession
of the crown prince to the throne would
mean no change for the better In the
conditions. Despair reigns
at the omperor's palace in Seoul. and
while the emperor who has now abb
dicated, desires TO create improved con-
ditions for his people he knew that he
was utterly unable TO do anything Mr..
Hulburt said the emperor's last al
most despairing attepmt was sending a
a delegation 10 The Hague TO pro-
test to the nations that the Japanese
protectorate over Korea was Illegal and
that Korea had never acquiesced in
her seizure two years ago.
