Quiet Way In Which He BuIlied tn
Theatrical Managers.

tnearfiCal mafaSeFSs
Here are the methods which Dumas
the elder and Victor Hugo employed
when they had d new play to offer to
the theater. Dumas would write to
the director of the Porte st. Martin:
My Deas Friend-I shall bring you on
Monday a play in five acts. l shall need
Mile. Georges, Mime. Doryal, Bocage, Lock
roy, Provost and five new scenes.
This extravaganza would alarm the
director, who would put off the pro-
ductlon of the play till better days.
Then Victor Hugo would appear and
shyIy draw a manuscript out of his
pocket. He would agree to everything.
The stock company would play his
piece admirably, since all he wanted
was a good ensemble; 40 new decora-
lions would be needed nor any change
at all.
So the piece would be read, and as
the roles were distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu, how fine Freder-
ick would be In that part!' "rhat is
true" Horel would murmur, and a few
days after be would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this destroyed
the equlpoise of the cast, and Raueourt,
Laferriere and Mile. Georges would
be engaged. Then Hugo would attack
the stage setting. Old scenes that
the public had tired of we're almost
an insult to these great artists. II
Horel showed reluctance at this. Hugo
would threaten to withdraw his piece,
And 50 the game would go on till
little by little, Hugo had obtained ev'
erything he wanted, even to the
changing of the paper hangings in tht

WATERWAYS IMPROVEMENT.

"A WRITER in one of the leading magazines
after relating the efforts that have been
made for the development of the navigation
routes Of the country concludes that the cam
paign has been successful and that an extensive
and comprehensive development policy will be
practically entered upon in the near future.
The magazine writer traces the popular move
ment for more liberal policy on the part of the
national government in the development of water
ways back to the filibustering speech made by
Senator Carter, of Montana, in 1901, when he
talked the Rivers and Harbors bill to death
The failure of that bill brought numerous gov
ernment enterprises to a standstill and caused
much valuable excavation machinery to rot in
idleness, but it had the unexpected result of
starting people to thinking Then followed
SYSTEMATIC agitation of the subject of improv-
ing the waterways, which, in the opinion of the
magazine writer, will bring about a systematized
scheme of development in place of the old waste
tul pork barrel methods of applying rivers and
harbors appropriations.
1t is argued that as a consequence of
this agitation, Congress must annually pass an
appropriation bill sufficient for rivers and har-
bors, the bill to have equal standing on the
budgets with the appropriations for the army and
navy and the postal service Congress must be-
gin to improve the waterways by a comprehen-
sive and systematic plan putting the most inn
portant projects first and adopting the continu-
ing contract plan.
This view of the matter will be very encour-
aging to those who have been interested in the
improvement of our waterways and it is par
ticularly interesting to Delawareans who have
been In the advance of this work 1t is true
that President Taft did not give the rivers and
harbors men the encouragement they expected
at the convention held some time since in
Washington, but the fact that the country at
intervals sees such conventions carries with t
the conclusion that the nation before long must

Chance Thought That Help
ed Settle VirginiuS Crisis
BY "HOlIand."

Every American whose memory goes
back to the year 1873 can doubtless
easily recall the intense excitement,
bordering on a bad case of war fever,
that prevailed throughout the country
when it became known that the Amer
ican ship Virginius. while engaged in
filibustering expedition in Cuba, had
been captured by the Spaniards and
the captain and crew we're being
held as outlaws for probable execu-
tion
At the height of the pressure that
was being brought on President Grant
to demand of Spain that she release
vessel and crew, or take the conse-
quences Of her refusal to do so, my
newspaper duties took me to the
home of Theodore d. Woolsey, who
was then finishing the last of his 25
years as president of Yale. Dignified
and courteous scholar that he was,
interviewed him as he unceremonious-
ly lay on the floor of his library while
engaged In romping with his grand
children.
My mission ended, ! was preparing
to take my departure-to the evident
delight of the youngsters-when the
thought suddenly occurred to me that
President Woolsey was a worldwide
recognized authority on international
law, and that I had heard he was
often informally consulted by the
state department on matters of inter
national law, and possibly he could be
induced to say something about the
Virginius affair. Therefore, asked
him IL he would care to tell me his
opinion of the proper position for our
government to take in the interna-
tional crises confronting it.
can see the old gentleman now,
sitting on the floor, and with his
head resting on an arm which he had
thrown on chair, as he replied:
IF the facts are as have been
stated, then it is inevitable that the
United States cannot demand the re-
lease of the Virginius. It might be
asked as a favor done by one friend
ly nation TO another. but 1t cannot be
demanded. No nation which recog-
nizes and practices the principles Of
international law would support the
United States in an attitude of that
kind. If 1t he true that this vessel
took on, under the shelter of the Amer
ican nag, arms and munitions intend
ed for those who are in revolution
against Spain In Cuba. and cleared
from our ports concealing that fact,
then the vessel has forfeited the rights
which the American flag would other
wise give it, see no possible es-
cape from this, provided, of course,
hat the facts are as have bean Etatad-

i may be that a request for friendly
consideration would receive favorable
consideration from Spain. but that is
another matter"
I realized at once that I had what
newspaper men call "a good story"
and / eagerly asked President Wool
sey if might give it to the press that
night. He hesitated a moment as
though he shrank from appearing to
have volunteered an opinion upon a
matter that was giving the admins
tration the greatest possible concern.
But when assured him that the pub
lie statement would show that his
opinion had been sought and not vol
UNFAIRLY made. he consented to my
making it public.
Coming from the source II did, it
was inevitable that the statement
should be widely published; and the
action taken by our government soon
after was substantially in line with
DR.. Woolsey's opinion. But not un-
til after the Virginius had been con-
demned and her captain. SO Of the
crew and 16 of the passengers shot
in the suburbs of Santiago de Cuba,
did / learn from United States sena-
tor from Connecticut that the state
ment had secured from DR.. Woolsey

firm the secretary of state, Hamilton
Fish, in his view of the attitude that
the United States should take. Presi-
dent Woolsey was clearly an author
ity whose views could not be ignored.
said the senator. and his opinion def
nitely determined Secretary Fish to
take the stand he did. despite the we'll
grounded fear that the intense public
clamor in favor of the filibusters
might be made to serve their political
ends by the opponents of the admins
tration.

THE 'BAD BOY" PROBLEM.

"A I a civic conference held recently in Mas
a sachusetts, the "Bad Boy" problem was
discussed in all its phases Every city has this
question TO confront and all the bad bows are
not in the cities by any means. The country
towns have their share of them and in most
country towns little nothing is done to take
care of the boys In cities it is somewhat diff
ferent because the bad boy is more noticeable.
The speakers at the Massachusetts conference
presented some statistics. Statistics are often
dry and uninteresting, but sometimes they are
illuminating and entertaining.
This is what one of the speakers at the con-
ference said about boys in genersl, not merely
bad boys in Massachusetts, cities:
Twenty-Five per cent. of boys be-
tween the ages OF eight and ten go out
nights. Fifty per cent. between 10 and
p spend their evenings on the streets
Seventy-fve per cent. Of lads II to Ia
find their social life away from home
And above that age 90 out of every hum
dred go where they please every even
ing Poys go out Immediately after sup
per. or without any supper to their ia
vorite street corner where they meet
kindred spirits and plan mischief in forty
languages.
1t was pointed out that boys develop into gangs
and then they hunt for trouble That they find
It not only in Massachusetts, but in Wilmington,
is shown by our police court records, by the Fer
ris Industrial School whose affairs have been TN
pleasantly before us.
The remedy suggested by the Massachusetts
conference is in boys clubs boys organizations.
1t IS admitted that all the gangs of bad bows
will not be broken up, but many boys under
proper influences can be prevented from becom-
ing members of gangs. We have some BOYS
clubs and organizations in Wilmington under
proper influences. We should have more of
them. for the boy seems TO be drawing away more
and more from home life and something must be
substituted in its place.
