Washington, June lS.-The old rules
of the House We're defended and the
critics of the Speaker were severely
scored by Speaker Cannon in brief

tanned on any proposition. He scored
new spaper and magazine writers who
had criticized him and declared that
they had proceeded from a lack OF
knowledge and upon false premises.
The venerable Speaker was greeted by
cheers from his Republican colleagues
when he had concluded.
Representative Cooper, of Wiscon-
sin, one Of the leading Insurgents, at
tempted to reply. but there was obicc-
Htlon.
Nearly every member OF the House
was in his place and every eye was
centred upon Mr. Cannon as he began

A Valuable Manuscript.

The sale of the original manuscript Of
The School for Scandal brings up in
teresting facts as to Sheridan and his
work Aided by his father-in-law, Sheri-
dan bought half the patent of Drury
Lane Theater in 1916 from Garrick. and
soon afterward sent to William Chef
wynd. the censor submitting the manu-
script of The School for Scandal for
his appreciation
The manuscript was nearly destroyed
by fire on one occasion. having been
sent to the binders in 1884 by Sir George
Chetwynd, the examiners grandson. The
premises of FairbuTn. the binder. were
burned down and the narrow escape the
manuscript had is shown by the marks
Of scorching on some Of its 1877 pages.
Otherwise the document, in the Russia

is complete.
1t has been said that Sheridan was in
such hurry that he actually wrote
portions of the play during its first per-
Torrance. The state of the manuscript
disproyes this. The comedy is complete
with epilogue and prologue as well.
Moreover. it is certain that the copy
sold in London on June II is the identi
cal copy sent for license, it having been
found with many other manuscript PLAYS

Charlotte Cushman, the greatest actress
