Fall, whose work is known on this side of the Atlantic through "The Dollar Prin- cess"
 The story, which is interesting and con- sistent, concerns the marital relations of a court secretary in Holland, <arel Van Myrtens. The secretary has an escapade with Gonda Van Der Loo, an actress, on a sleeping car. This meeting results in a suit for divorce the trial being repre- sented in the first act c. William Kolb, the well known German character come dian, appears as the examining magis- trate, Judge Van Tromp. The judge Is impressionable and constitutes himself the especial protector of each of the fair witnesses.
 The second act represents masquerade ball. with developments in several love affairs. The third act takes place in public square in a seaport of Holland, Makkum. In this act all the difficulties are explained away. and as the last. cur tain descends the wedding bells peal mer- rily. In the role of the judge, MT. Kolb has the most agreeable role he has ever portrayed He is on the stage great deal, appears in all the best scenes and jokes his way through the three acts. Olga Steck, one of the best light opra sopranos of the American stage. appears as the actress; and Violet Seaton as the wife. The chorus, with It's attractive young women. Is exceedingly strong, each one of them possessing youth. beauty and rare vocal ability. One of the biggest features of "'The Girl in the Train Is Its music which is generally conceded to be the richest In melody of any score pre- sented in America this season. The fav- orite numbers are Follow Me, I'm Fancy Free That's Why People Mar ry" and You Must Be Mine, Dear. This attraction comes to us from the Globe theatre. New York, where It had an extended run.

.The Girl in the Train was originally produced In Vienna under the title 'Die Geschiedene Frau" and scored an in- stantaneous success. Ii was then pre- sented in Berlin and London where 1t Is still enjoying prosperous runs. The Amer lean production was made at the Globe theatre, New York, last October and its tuBeful melodies are still being whistled in the metropolis.

 There is no kind of theatrical amuse- ment which should intrinsieally have more of entertainment In it for the Amer ican public than the French farce. Ii has all the liveiness and spice which a quick witted audience demands. When 1t is freed from its Vulgarity, the farce of the French is irresistible.
 But to the careful analysist of the farce of the Gallic mind 1t Is clear that in the lines themselves is none of the smut for which the F'renchman Is much criti- cised It is all in the treatment. It is for this reason that a French farce done into English by an American may be made acceptable for our ears. especially when acted by clever American actors.
 One fault of our producers seems to have been that in taking d French farce for domestic use, they have first waited for the English production. The farce seems to have been fiattened out in the process. In pruning for the prudery of London audiences the booksmiths have lost the sparkling wit of the original lines It would therefore seem the wise thing to bring these farces direct from Paris to New York.
 This is what Joe Weber did in the case of that brilliantly successful farce with music, Alma, Where Do You Live" True 1t was done into German. produced in Berlin, and afterwards at the German theatre in New York, before MT. Weber decided to make an American version and give it a hearing at his own Weber S theatre New York City. But his libret- tist. or rather adapter, George w.

THE SEA ISLAND COTTON SEASON
IN THE UNITED STATES

4 report has been received from Messrs
w. w. Gordon X Co Of Savannah, Georgia,
U.SA., in which is summarized the answers
to Il series of questions concerning the Sen
Island cotton industry, sent by this firm gu
july + to various correspondents in Georgia,
Florida and South CaroIinn. The following
is an account Of the Information in the re.
port.
GEORGIA. A small increase in the area Of
Sea Island cotton has taken place in some
sections, while in others there has beeng
decrease, chiefly on account Of tho substitu-
ton Of Upland cotton on the whole, dA
acreage appears to be unchanged, or it MAJ
be slightly less than chat Of last year. An
increase of 10 to Is per cent, has taken place
in the use Of manures Up to the time Of
reporting, the weather had been favourable.
The fields were we'll cultivated, the plants
were sh wing freed ,m trom dssease and the
crop WAS one to two weeks early. 1t was
expected that, if the season is normal, cot
ton will be able to reach Savannah freely
about SeptemNer 10 or Is.
FLORIDA. Conditions are similar to tbosa
in Georgia, except that there las been 4
slight increase in the area planted, ana the
plants seem to be more backward than i'll
the last mentioned State.
SOUTH CAROLINA, The area Of cotton in Tho
Sea Islands has been reduced about % per
cent. Little OF no increase has taken place
in the use Of mauures, and while the fields
are well cultivated and appear to be bearing
healthy plants, the stands are very Irregular
through the dryness Of the season. It's
expected that there will be little cotton on
the Charleston market before the middle OK

Hitherto 1t has been rather common for
parents, as it pleased them, to let their chm
dreL have a holiday, and to spend, for exam
pie some weeks in st. Thomas. The alleged
trnancy OF II child has hitherto exempted
the parents from being fined Tor hi, absence,
which has htd many unfortunate consequent
ces. Rather often the pareus have request
ed that their children might be punished ut
school because they had played truaut, and
it has appeared later that the parents them
selves have kept them home to work 1t
is therefore that ''holidpys taken without
leave and "the plea of truancJ' are here
mentioned.
ad Is.
According to the rules now in force the
parents whose children come more than One
hour late are fined. The consequence Of
this is that both parents and children think
it early en ugh if the children meet within
the first hour this applies particularly to
the towns, whore the majority OF the pupils
come late. In the country the children
have to start for school 50 cary tipt they
can do no work before school time, and be
sides. rs Il rule they cannot get employment
IN the morning Ia the country, to winch
comes the fact that the late c5Iaels in TIL"
country (not IN the towns, where 1Ao teach
ers already have 80 hours teaching ana
cannot do moro are taught from II to J.
O'Clock, winch they do not Iika; therefore,
the majority Of the children assemble al the
beginning Of the school Time. Thus in the
Year 1907, out Of 100 children in the town
schools lG were present ut the beginning
OF the instruction, in tho country schools y;
an hour later SO were present ia the town
schools, 7G in the country schools.
This serious drawback could no doubt be
