A London Dramatic Critic

our actors, playwrights and managers
for debasing themselves in this way

Perhaps it is only the result Of an

Gently paid us many great compliments
by way Of calling the London sta ge's
attention to our excellencies and recon-
mending that a few more New York
playhouse ideas be transplanted to the
English metropolis
It all comes from the astonishing sue
cess Of American plays in London There
has been such a long list in the last
four years that some Englishmen are
getting alarmed.
Mr.. Hamilton thinks the American
play succeeds because American dram
atists are not thwarted and handi-
capped by a perniciOus actor-manager
system He says in a letter just made
public:
Writes for Business Man.
The American dramatist writes for
the business man and not for the actor
manager The result is that his play. if
accepted, goes to the public as it was
written and is not accepted only on
the absolute condition that its entire
balance is thrown out in order that

Two Dying Trees in

WASHINGTON. Oct Tho Eu.
iopean war has caused a marked
shortage In black walnut for the
manufacture OF gun stocks, and
agents Of gun manufacturers are
securing the forests.
Recently two partly decayed black
walnut trees In the Arkansas Ma
tional Forest. were sold at $40
per 1000 feet on the stump. This II
the highest price ever paid for any
unfinished hardwood as far AZ Is
known. and certainly for any sold
from q national forest.
The two Arkansas trees were In
splendid condition for manufacture
in the near future, being well cured.
Hack walnut has long been recog-
.nixed as the best material for gun
stocks. The American pioneers made
rife stocks of maple. but In war
times the musket stocks were of
Hack walnut.
~ convention OF gunsmiths held
In Atlanta, Ca, In August, 1861, the
consensus OF opinion was that black
walnut was easily the superior OF oil
hard woods for gun manufacture.
with maple second and persimmon
third. II was held that gun stock
material should be air-dried for
20 years before being used in con.
s:ruction.
During the Civil var walnut for
gym stocks was obtained both In the
rorth and south by purchasing miles
OF fence rails. and by taking floors
and beams out OF cid barns and
mills where the wood had been sea
soned for q quarter to a half cen.
fury. The toughness and durability
OF black walnut is well known.
