seconds pause; then he places the pistol
to his own temple. A report follows; he
sinks down on the deck. The woman
draws her skirts aside, smiles contemp-

Great excitement follows: the body is
removed; the incident is hushed. Then
the vampire woman settles into her
steamer chair, placed almost over the
spot where the lad has destroyed himself
She arrangeS her magazine and her big
bouquet of huge red roses. Near the
railing stands Robert HiIliard, as the
handsome, middle aged New Yorker,
bound abroad upon a government mis-
sion. He IS faultlessly dressed and has
distinction of manner. He is waving
farewell to his charming wife and daugh-
ter. Suddenly he turns and meets the
inSinuating gaze of the red woman She
smiles at him-and the play really begins.
The story develops with cyclonic force
1t is the old story of the man who goes
to destruction IN forgetfumess of wife,
child, home, and honor. He goes the
limit. Playwright, producer, and player
have spared nothing to make truthful a
series of telling and dramatic situations,
and yet the play has its comedy and
dainty sentiment and witty epigram- II
is deeply symbolic of the opposing
forces OF good and evf, that tear a
human heart and torture the soul. And
its story is paralIeled in the real life
tragedies. which the newspapers daily
chronicle.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

-Everywoman," Walter Brownies NOR
atty play, will be Henry w. Savage's
offering at the Belasco Theater next
week. While ''Everywoman" is absolute
ly a modern play, as regards character
ization, action, and environment, il is
fashioned after the model of the ancient
morality plays, those products OF the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, of
which "Everyman" is the best known
example While the characters fn
"Everywoman" are symbolic of various
abstract virtues, vices, and conditions, the
author has made them concrete types
Of actual men and women of the present
day. The principal characters, aside
from the title role. are Youth, Beauty,
Modesty. Conscience, Nobody, Flattery.
Truth, Love, Passion, Time, Wealth, Age,
Greed, Self. Vanity. Vice, Charity. Law,
Order, Stuff. Bluff, and a dozen others
of Lesser value.
Mr. Brownies object in writing Every
woman was to present an allegory in
the shape Of a stage play, sufficiently
dramatic in its story and action to form
an attractive entertainment quite apart
from its psychological significance. The
added features of music, songs, choruseS.
fects. and the realism of everyday life
should make il an. attraction that will
afford pleasure and entertainment to all
classes OF playgoers. 1t is not intended
as a sermon in disguise, nor Quixotic
effort to elevate the stage. The title
character is supposed to typify every wo-
man of the present day in her pilgrim
age in quest of love, and to those who
openly go forth and listen to fiattery and
lay Siege to the hearts of men, the play
is intended as a kindly warning.
THE Maestro's Masterpiece" a new
comedy by Edward Locke. will begin an
engagement at the Columbia Theater
next week. That it is a novelty of the
first water there can be no doubt, as
was attested by the criticisms which ap-
pcared in the Boston papers. The cast is
of actors and actresses who
have won fame upon the grand opera
stage, and who comprise vocal en-

living counterpart of Jeanette in the
person of a cocotte of the music hail.
Jcannine Bartet, whom he hires to pose
for an unfinished portrait OF his lost
wife This second act scene is said to be
unbIlShingly true to the atmosphere of a
reckless resort where loose women bar

carOuSe. 1t serves TO point out the ap-
parently utterly hopelessness Of the sal
walton OF the thoroughly abandoned Jean

Yet the transformation occurs in the
third act when the woman is animated
with an honest love for the painter and
a desire TO let her better self conquer.
In a transport of deep feeling and sin
cerity she prOClaiTnS her love for this man
and begS him to save her from the sordid
life she has been living. When he refuses

The English Language In Cuba.

The lower house of the Cuban
Congress has passed a bill to dis
continue the teaching of English
in the public schools, but it is to
be hoped for the future progress
of Cuba that it may be defeated
in the Senate or vetoed by the
President. 1t is obvious that the.
bill reflects an antagonistic atti-
tude toward the United States,
doubtless the result of a fear
that familiarity with the English
language might bring closer
sympathy between the island and
the United States and lead to an
nexation, says the Daily States.
It is reasonable to assume that
sarn fears are disturbing to
CUBAN politicians who realize
that their ambitions would not
have SO free a scope if Cuba were
a territory Of the United States.
But all the world should know
by this time that we have no ag-
gressiye designs on Cuba, be-
cause lingo sentiment exhausted
itself in the effort to bring about
annexation soon after the close
of the Spanish war, and the
determination of this government
is stronger than ever to leave
an autonomous republic.
Therefore in excluding English
from the public schools Cuba will
be depriving her youth of great
opportunity for business success,
because we have far more to-
offer in the matter of trade rela-
tons than Spanish America can
It is also we'll to remark
that while less than so, 600, 900
people speak Spanish more than
200, 900, 600 speak English and
The language is growing rapidly
n all countries, hence it is
through the English tongue that
Cuba can best keep herself
abreast of modern progress.

DEPARTMENT OF AGR.
CULTURE FAVORS A
STATE TRADE MARK

A Baton Rouge special says:
The department of agriculture
wants the State to get credit for
all of the truck and fruit grown
in this state and shipped to other
states of the Union. It wants to
make Grown in louisiana, as
famous in the United States as
Made in Germany is in the
markets of the world. In a re-
cent bulletin issued by the de-
partment an appeal has been is
sued to the farmers Of the state,
asking that in every truck ship
ment made away from the State
that the words Grown in Louis
lana, be stamped upon the
package.
This it is believed, will not only
serve to advertise Louisiana, but
in the end will increase the value
OF Louisiana grown products, and
the market for these
products.
The department Of agriculture
believes that it could be followed
with success in this state. and
that Louisiana's products and
producers could materially assist
each other by a liberal use Of the
slogan, Grown in Louisiana.

WILL SAVE
CORN.

The following agricultural hint
has been sent out by the La
fayette Industrial Institute:
Although local farmers COM
plain that the protracted dry
spell in this section Of Louisiana
during the past six weeks Is
causing their corn to suffer, it is
nevertheless a fact that the corn
on the Industrial Institute demon
stration farm shows a remark
able degree Of freshness, cool,
green, healthy color, and unre-
tarded growth; and, unless the
season should grow very much
worse, 1t IS probable that the In
Stitute crop will be entirely un-
injured. Prof. Lee, Of the insti-
tute faculty, in charge Of this
department, attributes this con-
dition chiefly to shallow cultiva-
ton, avoiding the destruction of
the important lateral root sys-
TEN between the rows and near
the surface Of the ground.
Nearly all the farmers Of this
section have the habit of cuItiyat
with a turning pillow, which,
in Prof. Lees opinion, does
more damage to a corn crop IN a
day than the weeds would
