SpeGlNt Correspondence,
" oNDON, Aug, 26.-When Ram
4 Kennedy tried the daring ex-
pertinent of introducing tho
character OF tho Savior on the
stage in New York in his play, The
servant In the House." critics were
frankly dubious OF It's favorable re-
ocption by the public, The English
drainatist,s courage was justified by
the reception of the play not only in
New York, but subsequently through
cut the United States on tour, and this
circumstance seems to have enconrag-
cd Jerome x. Jerome. the English
hunorfst, to enter the lists with
dramatization of his story, The Pass
ing of the Third Floor Back in
which the central figure is reincar-
nation of the Savior. This fact is not
brought forward by any direct
means, but by numerous little touches.
The character VIII not be known by
any name, but In the three parts In
which the PLAY IS divided---a prologue.
q play and an epilogue-he will be
known respectively as "a Passer-by,"
the Third Floor Back" and "a
Friend" Jerome hopes and, indeed
Is very confident, that the English
audience at the st. James theatel,
where Forbes Robertson and Gertrude
Elliot are to produce the play on
Tuesday next. Will recognize that he
has handled the subject in spirit Of
reverence and sincerity and that they
Will accord his effort the same sort
of respectful hearing that was Sc

UNION MEETING

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
HARRINGTON. Sept 9.-An en-
thusiastic meeting of the rural free
delivery carriers and road drivers was
held here all of Labor Day, and the
carriers left for their homes and their
mail routes on early trains yesterday.
William E. Cole. of Leipsic, was elect
ed as the delegate to the national con-
vention to be held at Omaha on Octo-
Der s, as the representative from Della
ware.
The subject Of good roads was gem
orally discussed and the appointment
of a committee to lend any assistance
to the State. county or national au-
thorities in securing this improvement
resulted. The question Of using auto
mobiles came up. but was tabled after
general agreement that the motor
carriages were not yet sufficiently
perfect to battle with and plough
through some of the sandy and rocky
roads of Delaware which the mall
carrier must traverse.
The proper feed and treatment Of
road horses was thoroughly considered
and a regular diet and course of care
was agreed upon. The State authori-
ties adjourned to meet in Dover on
February %.
