The Purpose of Playwright

fiom Harpers weekly.
 In Henry Arthur Jones' latest play, which bears the clumsy title of I've Can't Be AS Bad As All That and which vas produced at the Nazimova theatre, there Is mixture of satire on London fashionable society. melodramtc method. and didacticism. together with some ef- fective touches of well-d drawn character. This piece does not require detailed an- alysts here. but the presentment of it does prompt the suggestion that it's able and clever author might make himself rore clearly understood by the public if he would state exactl what. it is that he purposes or hopes to accomplish by the atrical deliverances which, made at con siderable length and with much ingenui- ty, appear to contain nothing more than the intimation that "evil communications corrupt good manners" and that it would be wise to awake to righteousness and sin not" If no object is in view more important than that, it would seem as though place might be found more suit able than the theatre is for the display and moral castigation of persons suffi- ciently offensive in actual life to deserve exclusion from works of genial art.

FRENCH POLITENESS
 IS BELIEVED TO BE 1 ON THE DECLINE

Paris. February 1S.-(Special.)- When M. Andre de Fouquieres, the Count d'Orsay of modern Paris, said four months ago that the French pollIe- : ness was decaying there was a cry of alarm we'll surprise, but M. de Fouquierers found so many to support him that the question Is now accepted as one for common discussion. A news paper has now opened an inquiry, of French politeness of the past. Men. of letters, actors and actresses, men and women of every rank and station are asked to give their opinion. "Gyp" the most famous of all French author esses. leads off in a characteristic in- cisfve style. French poIiteness," she asks. Tt Is long since they have for gotten the shape of that good lady's nose. Will 1t revive. like the Phoenix, frsm amidst its remains? It is not likely"
 M. Marcel Boulanger. one of the best known of the younger men of letters, with the reputation of a modern and more sporting Beau Brummel, writes: "Polfteness, in my opinion. is ill., In the end 1t will die out altogether. But have no doubt about this: It is above all because of the women, especially el- egant women. whose il1-manners have no limit" Mile.

Recently, how ever. it became evident that the honor so much gratified the young prince that many unnecessary excursions were be- ing made past the box of a certain sentry. the customary salute being &C., corded him every time.
 The matter reached the ears of his father, who. to give his son a lesson. issued orders that in future no notice should be taken of the Tsarevitch s comings and goings by the sentries. The dismay of the heir was profound when, he on passing his fayorite sentry box next morning. lie found that his presence was ignored. In childish indignation he went to the sentry and demanded the reason of the omission.
 ."It is by the Tsar's orders." was the reply. This seemed at first to settle the matter. but after a few moments cogi- tation the royal youngster approached the sentry again and said. pleadingly: Please just do it this once. and prom ise you father shant hear anything about 1t.

 distracted wife accuses the Catholic clergy of destroying her married hap piness. Johann Koschitski. who Is 27, and until recently priest connected with Trinity church, Leipsic, took his vacation last July and travelled to Bo- henia. where he announced to his supe- rior his intention to leave the church. He then went to Marienbad. where he met Rosie Kloetzl. He became engaged to this lady. and on Christmas Eve mar ried her and returned to Leipsic. His former co-religionists, who regarded the marriage of a priest as no marriage at all, made every effort to bring him hack to the faith Rumors were also current that Koschitzki. repenting of what he had done. had written to the bishop of Breslau begging to be rein stated. For ten days Koschitzki re- ceived numerous messages. letters and telegrams in which. according to his wife, he was urged to repent and return to the fold. He grew depressed, and at last suddenly started for Vienna, where he met prominent clergyman. He h ad been away from home three times since his marriage. but he did not return from the fourth Journey. Instead came a letter for the. woman asking pardon, and concluding with the words:
 Thank you for many kindnesses.s A shattered human heart sends you his laSt greeting rom the World.
 He has resolved to do penance. Talk ing every precaution that his destina- ton should not be known. he left vi- enna for the monastery of an austere order. The actress was told that she could not see Koschitzki. and letters sent by her were not delivered. Both are subjects of the king of Saxony. and 1t Is stated that the matter will be brought up in the reichstag. Ns

CUSTOMS OFFICERS DIG
DEEP IN JEWEL MYSTERY
Further Sensational Developments Ex-
peeted in Smuggling Case in N. Y.

New York, June 30.-Government
customs agents today renewed ac-
tivity in the Jenkins iewelry mystery.
preparing for the grand jury investi-
cation next week.
Mrs. Helen Dwelle Jenkins, whose
name will be coupled with two prom
1nent men of wealth in this connec-
ton, was subpoenaed to appear before
the grand jury on Thursday. Several
former customs inspectors will be wit
nesses. owing to allegations that the
government was defrauded of duties
on jewelry valued at 100000 through
connivance in the customs depart
ment.
The alleged smuggling occurred two
years ago. A year and a half ago the
jewels mysteriously disappeared. De-
tectives say their search for them
was met with scandals at every turn.

county.
Representative Tippens introduced
till which will have to be thresned

containing more than one-half of one
per cent. of alcohol The state tax
on near beer is abolished, according
to provision of the BILL
1t is presumed that the forces Of
the prohibition camp will rally around
this bill and will carry the fight into
the camp of the enemy.
The abolition of the state tax on
near beer will remove the states rec

POIYGAMY NOW TABooED,
SAYS VENERABLE MORMON
He Has Five Wives, But Says One is
All Man Needs.

Washington, June -"Polygamy is
no longer practised by the Mormons
and the man caught taking a plural
wife is promptly communicated. -
declared Joseph F. Smith, venerable
president of the Mormon church. in
an interview today.
Smith said he still supports. but
does not live with the wives he mar.
ried prior to the United States su.
preme court decision that polygamy
was unlawful, and before the church
issued its famous manifesto forbid
ding plural marriage.
Asked If he thought it best for a
man to have but one wife, the husband
OF five wives and the father of forty
three children, replied:
In these days of high cost of liv-
ing there is no doubt that the average
man is much better off with one wife.
II a man cannot support one wife de-
Gently, it would obviously be impossi-
he for him to support more.
Woman today demands that she be
dressed, fed and housed as well as
possible. A man with the average in
come would be in terrible straits if he
had several wives on his hands, all
crying for the latest things in hats and
gowns"
President Smith, who came to Wash
ington to appear before the sugar in
yestigation committee of the house,
left the city today. -
