Hotel Accom- mediation, in India.

From ne india Public Health
All over the world Indian hotels have bad name
To any one who has been used to moderate DEGREE
Of comfort and good feeding, They are for the
most part disgrace. Why people should have 10

and from rupees TO |. rupees a day In the hot
season without receiving comfort and good feed.
Ing seems at nrst dlfcult 10 answer. As rule the

rooms are badly looked after. and unless one has

TAFT IN THE SOUTH.
An Expression Of (WhIts) Republican Sen.
timent in Alabama.

From ne Alexander Cdy Southern American.
II would be a happy day for the Republican
party we're II rid Of both Roosevelt and Taft.
The one came upon the party as leader by
accident, and the other Is endeayored to be
hoisted upon the party by White House
dictation.
There 10 none Of this Teputed demand for
Roosevelt that We know Of. II is really the
sentiment Of Republican voters In the South
that II will be a glad riddance for the party
when he is down and out Only few ONCE
holders shout Roosevelt" at this stage OF the
political game. This 10 just the naked fact.
There never has been any uprising for Taft;
not In the South. There is no hurrah for him
In these parts. He is simply Teddys manu-
facture, and those who do accept Taft accept
him as such. This is all there ia 10 the Taft
boom in the South. and the oficeholders are
the only ones who pretend to recognize II
as a boom when they see IL. They are doing
this because they have had orders 10 do il.

A Playwright of the Second Empire.

4 Playwright of the Second Empire.
Pleasant memories Of Paris that has
wholly disappeared are stirred up by the
name Of LUDovIc HALEvY. The last
years of the Second Empire meet with
harsh treatment from moralist and his
torian, and Frenchmen who look back at
them through the gloom Of the Prussian
disaster can only regard their brilliant
gayeties as they judge the light hearted
pleasures of MARIE ANToINETTE on the
eve of the Revolution,
Yet what a delightful and enjoyable
town it was for which the Meilhae. and
Halevy partnership devised its operds
bOufes and found 0FFENBAcH to write
the music. 1t was the real Paris prom
ised to good Americans after this life.
Baron HAUssMENN had only begun to
tear up the old historic streets and pict-
uresque buildings Frenchmen were in
the best of moods, for France seemed the
arbiter Of Europe and the glory Of the
Italian campaign was fresh. Paris die
tated the fashions in cooking and the
minor crafts without dispute, and every
one admired French art and French liter
ature Men spoke and wrote untainted
French and were not afraid to use their
Gallo wit The theatres we're places Of
entertainment and not yet dissecting
rooms or lecture halls.
The essence of that frivolous time
was found in the sparkling and irreverent
parodies of MEILHAC and HALEvY, the
"Grande Duchesse, La Belle Helene"
"Orphee aux Enters and the rest.
The genius of OFFENBACH provided the
dashinG music that fitted but people
went to the Boufes PdriSiens TO hear the
words as much as the tunes, and the
texts are as good reading now as are
Mr. GILBERT's.
1t was the society Of that day that the
partners showed up in their other plays,
such as "Frou-F Frou," and in their time
they held the stage as successfully as has
W. SARDOU. The drama then still strovc
to entertain rather than to instruct
and dealt with people and emotions that
an intelligent audience could understand,
for the study Of the moods of eccentric
scandinavian females and the exhibitions
Of morbid psychology and curiosites Of
immortality had not been taken up.
OF the two partners MEILHAC was the
stronger; at any rate when writing alone
he turned out better work. HALEvY
nevertheless preceded him in entering
the French Academy He had taken to
writing short stories which are bright
and amusing but are Of no great value,
and turned out one tale which was very
successful, Liable Constantin" This
happened 10 be unobicctionable from
tho moral point Of view, a book that the
young person may read, and the con-
trast with the plays that had made HA-
LEWIS reputation contributed TO the
success. The story opened the doors
of the Academy to him, and after some
years MEILHAC followed
The plays are their real contribution to
Frances literature, and good plays they
are, The historian Of French culture
will be unabled to leave out la Belle
H6hne' and all it stands for from the
story Of the Second Empire. II may not
have been a wholly proper period, but it
was more amusing and more French
than the republic Of NJ. CLEMENCEAU
and the Association laws.
