LONGING FOR THE NATURAL Play"

David Belasco, back from Europe, finds England
firing of the tea-cup play-the mixture of society
chatter and the thread of a plot in which retired
colonel goes far to get excited in the last act
He finds Paris weary of the triangle play, in which
a man and two women, or two women and a man
get in the wrong and have to be placed right
in that same pleasant part of the performance when
the audience begins to think of going home In
Berlin he finds the public longing for escape from
the impressionist play, which has nothing for a
background and often little more for PREMISE argu-
ment, and conclusion.
Everywhere, he remarks the people want nat
ura plays They want things presented as they are,
rather than as man who had eaten welsh rarebit
before retiring might have thought they until
the doctor brought him around.
If Belasco's observations are correct, and no one
doubts that he is excellent judge, shall soon
see decided change the stage, for what the peo-
pie want in the drama the managers are usually
quick enough to give them. He believes that CON-
ditions which exist abroad are not different from
those in America We have been fed on diet of
what he considers the unnatural drama so long
even though its disciples maintain that it is the most
natural OF all-that a reaction bound to come.
Perhaps the vice crusade is at last about make
impression on the playwrights.
After ALL there is much in the contention that
people are more interested in themselves than in
anything ese-even in their neghbors who are the
subjects of town gossip.

WASHINGTON IN THE STORM.

The terrific electrical storm that swept this Sec
ton and marked Washington as the very center of its
fury was the almost inevitable elimination of period
of extremely hot and dry weather. Most of the east
ern coast region, from the Virginia Capes to the
Maine coast, had experienced similar visitation within
the forty-eight hours preceding the outburst here
Nowhere, however, there such tremendous
violence as here. The Weather Bureau figures prove
this In about half hour over two inches of rain
fell; the wind reached sixtysix miles hourly velocity
the lightning was magnificent and awful and the hail
severe. The sudden and preCipitate fall of tempera-
ture was characteristic of this class of storms
The marvel is that little damage to life and
property was sustained With wide streets. ample
spaces and broad, open general scheme of construc-
ton the surface of this city dispose through big
sewers and unusual street area much greater vol
ume of water in brief time than perhaps any other
city in the country. That is exactly what ade the
disaster small compared TO what would have been
caused by like elements in another town. Only a
day earlier New York had had a calamity with less
than half the rainfall; railroad terminals we're flood
ed electric tracks under water so that the current
had TO be shut off, subways were inundated and
traffic generally was tied up Had the wind movement
and Hainfall in New York equaed those in Washing
ton yesterday, the metropolis would have seen a
disaster that can hardly be imagined.
There is one lesson of the storm that ought to
be taken seriously to heart by the authors of our
building regulations and the administrators of the
Building Inspection Department 1t has to do with
roof construction. The huge sheets of tin and thin
iron used for roofing were ripped from hundreds of
buildings simply because they acted exactly like sails
the wind gained leverage under loose edge or
corner, Aohing could save the whole sheet; it was

THE MULHALL STORIES.

Senator Lodge, Senator Cummins and Leader
Underwood have given particularly explicit and con,
vincing denals of some of the claims of Martin Mul
hall about his influence" with strong people in Con-
gress. They will be accepted without reservation
as telling the truth. A man doing Mulhall's business
must necessarily do lot of Dragging to his bosses
He has need to capitalize his acquaintance and his
standing with important men. When he didn't have
the acquaintance and standing he could pretend to
have them.
Almost anybody can make occasion to see and
exchange few casual words with almost anybody in
Congress. The talk may be about the weather or the
date of adjournment or influence of the dog star
in superinducing rabies.
That's what good deal of Mulhalls pull con-
sisted of; but there good deal more of it that
was decidedly more substantial. Anyhow, his en-
ployers hired him to do the things he pretended tc
do and so he found it necessary to pretend when he
didn't do The breaking down of his story in spot:
doesn't make the case one whit better for them.

ripped off and hurled with frghtful force into the
streets 1t made very plain that the one notable
weakness of building methods lay in roof construc-
ton.
amentable amount of injury was done to shade
and ornamental trees all over the city. But here
again. the wonder is that the extent of loss was no
greater. The crowning beauty and pride of Washing
ton is in its trees. For number and beauty, no city
in the world can compare with Washington in this
regard. Yesterdays test made it clear, also, that
the care of the trees must be of the very best to
have kept them in a condition of soundness and
health that could resist the fury of the winds. City
trees are commonly anaemic and of low vitality,
due to the fact that their roots almost hermeuc-
ally sealed away from normal touch with the atmos-
phere, Making city trees grow, normally and Vigor-
ously, is one Of the arts in which Washington gives
proof Of high expertness

THE PORK BARREL AGAIN.

The spectacle of Democratic House caucus,
called for the purpose of insructing the APproPra-
tons Committee to provide funds in the deficiency
bill for public building work, is extraordinary and
unedifyng. Chairman Fitzgerald is quite justified
in being redhot about it. The caucus knows about as
much about the Treasury's preparedness for such
draft as a horse knows about Sanskrit.
This is the complete demonstration of the need for
budget; for a single concentrated estimating body
that with information before it concerning both rev.
enues and expenses, can cut the garment somewhat
according TO the cloth.

THE BAROMETER GOES UP.

The United States Steel Corporation reports
earnings for the quarter ended June 80 SAL 219,-
s13, with one exception the largest for this period
in the company's history.
The steel market is looked upon as the barometer
of business conditions. Under any circumstances at
an, therefore, the publication of such figures could
be accepted gratifying Still more pleasing is it
at time when the industry is facing very mate
rial reduction of the tariff on its products. The
earnings show not only that impending changes have
led to 10 cessation in the steel industry, but that
and producers in general have no fear of
such disturbance of business that they must make
early Preparations to meet it
The report conveys one other suggestion. If the
notable cut in the tariff on steel products promises
lower prices why have purchasers continued to buy
heavily? Surely sales in this period have not been
only of material for immediate use.

"Unto the Least of These
To the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
My notice has been called to your
articles Of how little blind Evelyn. at
the Sunshine Society. Is being helped
by contributions Of the public. How
can the public be caused to give as
literally to EveIyn's fund as we have
given to Walter Johnson's Cup Fund?
The Bible tells US one thing among the
many, In as mucn as ye have done it
unto the least OF these (not the great
esp. ye did 1t unto Me" I hope in
some way the same spirit which has
prevailed So greatly in Washington IN
the presenting Of a loving cup TO our
great pitcher, Walter johnson, may be
carried to a golden end by placing this
little blind girl. Evelyn. in a financial
position to learn and grow to all she
may be capable Of in this life. The
public should not hesitate to give a
nickel or a dime, as that soon makes
a helpful sum. MRS. T. GOOD.

Defends Mr.. Bryan.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
The critics OF Mr.. Bryan are relent-
less in their efforts to discredit him with
the people. 'Tis natural, perhaps, that
those who for so many years have
sought. to write him down." should be
chagrined that he has demonstrated
that his tongue is mightier than their
pens. and whenever possible use their
inferior weapons to irritate him by mis-
constituting mis- actions and impugninS
his motives. Surely Mr.. Bryan is the
best judge of when he can take his
vacations. I know Of no law, custom,
or rule prescribing the hours or days
that he should work at his desk, and
doubtless II an occasion should arise
requiring ii. Mr.. Bryan win be found
at his post both night and day giving
his most valuable services to his
country. 1t Is both unwise and unjust
TO assume that Mr.. Bryan is neglecting
his duties as Secretary Of State.
The intelligent people OF this country
know that Mr.. Bryan has a comprehen-
sive grasp of all the great international
questions now confronting this country,
and that in due time they will all be
settled by the Administration in the
most satisfactory manner that il Is pos
sible for diplomacy to settle any oues-
ton. Anywhere within the United States
he is within touch with his office
through telephone or telegraph, and can
in short time be there in person should
the eNigencies of the case require his
personal presence.
II Mr.. Bryan feels that he can best
employ his vacation by delivering use
full and interesting lectures on subjects
that will elevate the standard of Amerf-
can citizenship, and also supplement mis-
inadequate salary. what fairminded man
could make any reasonable objection.
If Mr.. Bryans salary Is inadequate to
meet the expenses OF his position as
Secretary of State, living, as we all
know that he does, in unpretentious, but
befitting style and dignity, 1t is wrong
in the Government to be placed under
financial obligation TO him or anyons
else. howsoever much may be its obli-
CATION to him, for so long. keeping the
right vision and upholdins the right
principles OF Government as a private
citizen.
While Mr.. Bryan did not advocate an
increase in the salaries OF all Govern
ment employees who can barely subsist
on the salaries they receive, his action
is a most potential argument in favor
OF adjusting the salaries OF all Gov
ernment officials TO the higher cost and
advanced standards OF American living

Here's a Book

The Johns Hopkins Press. Of Baiti-

John H. Russell. assistant professor OF
politics in Allegheny College. on The
Free Negro in Virginia" The history
OF slavery is much better known thah

slavery was much older institution.
The general conception is that there
were no free negroes in slave states
previous TO the emancipation proclama-
ton. However go far as Virginia goes
Mr. Russell shows this view to be great

i July. 1898. at the urgent request
of the inhabitants. People live
on seven of the islands. one, which
was once inhabitated, Is now de-
serted; and there are twelve smaller
islands not lived upon. All the islands
taken together are not as large as the
State of New Jersey.
The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic
and the decayinR lava makes won
derfully rich soil. AS there Is much
rain there, things grow as II by
magic. The principal crop Is sugar
cane, but there are also enormous
quantities Of pineapples and bananas
there.
Some OF the volcanoes on the islands
are not dead. Kilauea, on the island
of Hawaii, is the largest active vol
cano in the world. The crater is about
nine miles around and in the center
is a great lake of molten lava which
rises and falls like water. At night
this red-hot, Quivering mass is one or
the most wonderful sights in the
world.
At present there are only about
80. 900 native Hawaiians left out of
nearly 10000. Other inhabitants are
Americans. Portuguese. Chinese. and
Japanese.
