An interesting example is that af-

where the students and pupils Of the

their best energies 10 political agita-

shut the university and high schools.

reform.
The authorities reOpened them quite
lately. but on Thursday the students
held an uproarlous forbidden meeting
in the halls Of the university. and re-
FUSED 10 disperse or give their names

Berlin, Dec. H.-Count Erasmus Err
bach was to-day formally deprived OF all
rights OF succession to the entailed fam

peal to the ordinary court. He must ac-
cept his disinheritance of an estate worth

SARD0U SUES PARIS PAPER.
lie Mntin Criticised Play Before Its
Production,

GEouucf1OD.
Paris, Dec. 2L-VictOrien Sardou, the
dramatist and one Of the theaters of
this city have brought suit for $4,000
and $4,000, respectively, against the
Matin for publishing a criticism of a
play before its production. Following the
traditional practice in Paris. a dress re-
hearsal for critics, journalists, dramatic
critics &c. was given the night before
the first production, but with the un-
derstanding that no criticism OF the piece
should be published until after the first
night" II was this understanding that
the Matin violated.
About twenty years ago Gil Bias failed
TO comply with this tradition in regard 10
another one Of NJ Sardou's plays. The
author took the matter to court and was
awarded 5000 damages. which he donated
10 the Authors Association.
