Managers and playwrights are con-
plays. What's in name? Does it
play any part In determining the pros
perity of an enterprise? What sort of a
name moreover should it be?
Dion Bcucicault whose name is ana
thema since 1t suggests nowadays a
knowledge of the theater and some in
terests in its history, used to say that
the name of a play should be under
stood by everybody or nobody. So he
went on calling his works alternately by
such titles as "Arrah Ma Pogue'' and
some Quite usual words. The name Of
the new play at the Thirty y-ninth Street
Theater last night is '"The Rioters"
Now. that is a label which it seems
difficult to excuse on any grounds bust
ness or artistic. Nobody cares about
persons to be described in that way or
wants to see anything of them. The
author III. f. Maltby.. has been exoner-
ated. He called his work something
else. Maybe in England, where the word
from which the title is derived moves
in better company than Ii does here,
both it and it's derivatives are less OBJ
jectionable Yet 1t seemed at first diff
ficult not to regret the ineptness which
sent play into the world with the
handicap of such a title.
There was at least on the program
the subtitle "The Tale of Respectable
Family" SO there was some effort to
gild the unnecessary pill. The title de-
scribed the family of an Englishman
who had risen to most of the honors ac-
cessible to the middle class He had
his own severe rule of conduct which his
children quite fearlessly ignored on all
occasions
Yet the family was after all not SO
disturbing as his chauffeur His wife
made advances to this employee of the
family and so did both his daughters.
At least one of them was old enough to
know Better. Their conduct as well as
that of the bounder son lessened the re-

Discovers Portrait
of Washington Is
by Gilbert Stuart
Artist Finds Original Painting
in Hall at Washington and
Lee University.

Special Dispatch 60 THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
LEXINGTON, Va, May 22.--Discovery
of a hitherto unknown portrait of George
Washington by Gilbert Stuart was made
here to-day by Arthur Dawson, English
portrait painter. who Is at present in
portrait of DR.. Henry Louis Smith, presi-
of Washington and Lee University.
Mr.. Dawson. who is tho official por-
trait painter at the United States Mill
has just recently finished .. full length
portrait Of Gen. Macarthur, commandant
of the military academy, was inspecting
the collection Of paintings hung in the
Lee memorial chapel of the university
this morning when he noticed the picture
of Washington hung high on the left
rear wall of the chapel facing the au-
dlence
Upon examining the picture after 1t
was taken down at his reques. Mr. Daw-
son declared II was an original Stuart.
The picture measures 25 by 80 inches
and is painted on wood panel
Mr.. Dawson. In explaining his dis
covery. stated that Stuart favored a
twilled canvas upon which to work with
the ribs running diagonally across it,
Later. he said. Stuart had a machine
made for cutting wood panels in this
fashion. The picture examined to-day
shows plainly the ribbed panel
Another Stuart painting of Washing
ton. now in the possession Of the United
States Military Academy, was discov-
cred some years ago by Mr.. Dawson, the
picture having been gift to the acad-
emy by Miss Annie Bartlett Warner.
The late Fl. c. Frick made cash offer
of $4,000 for the picture, the academy
declining to sell.
Mr.. Dawson said that the picture dis
covered ina the Lee chapel here to-day
was without doubt the finest Stuart in
the country and he estimated its value
on the basis Of the offer made by the
late Mr.. Frick, at 100000.
The picture has been in the possession
OF Washington and Lee University for
years, but to-day University authorities
were at a loss to determine its donor
1t has hung in the chapel on the campus
almost untouched until to-day, despite
the fact that several portrait experts
have recently been at the University
and examined the collection of paint
ings. Investigations as to the donor
are now under way.

sentiment against the man who had
named the play. Possibly "The Rioters"
was after all the most fitting description
of everything about the piece.
The play is evidently not new. 1t
must be of even an earlier vintage than
"a Little Bit of Fluff" of which it is
so strangely reminiscent. Maybe the re-
semblance between the two specimens
of British dramaturgy rests on no deeper
than the fact that both were
acted in the same theater Yet they
seem really to have much in common.
Maybe they will meet with the same
fate here. 1t will be more surprising
than anything seen in the piece last
night If they do not. And "A Little Bit
of Fluff made a record here and in Lon
don. They were different, to be sure.
But they were still records,

 As presented by the PoH Players, the play loses none of it's attractive ness. The settings provided for the production earned a round of applause from last nights audience and in this piece Edmund Abbey gives a notable performance as Charlie Young, a willy Chinaman. His makeup, his walk, his pigeon" English, and his bland, Celestial smile, are all excellent.
 Ni1a Mac is Ming Toy, an attractive and pathetic Ming Toy. Arthur Chat terdon is the MT. Billy Benson she enslaves.

JAPANESE "ELDEPU
 STATESMEN PASSING
Old Genro's Lease on Life Is Limited; Can Never Be Replaced.

ISSpOIlueHL.
 Tokio, Nov. 13.-Old Japan is fast changing. The last of the famous Elder Statesmen of the Meiji era has relinq71ished his government post Prince Matsukata Che has just been promoted from a marquis) and Prince Saionji. Matsukata has just retired as Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal his last post.
 The two are very old, we'll in the eighties. Saionji has been ill for months, and Matsukata is fast faiI- Ing. The two, particularly Matsukata made Baron Kato Premier last Spring. When the times comes they will prob ably remove him and name his suc- cessor, but that will be about the last of their making and .unnaking of Ministries.
 Viscount Ifrata, possibly the strongest man in Japan next to the two Genro, who for thirty years was constantly at Prince Yamagata's el- bow, is the new Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. His appointment Is a decided victory for the Choshu clan, the first in many months since the popular cry for disarmament turned sentiment from them. IIirata since the death of Yamagata in February has been possibly second only to Gen eral Baron Tanaka in leading the old clan.
 There has been much written about the Genro's lease on life. Will they continue? Certainly not the old Genro they cannot be replaced. No one can fill the shoes of Ito, Okubo, In ouye, Oyama, Yamagata, Matsukata and Saionji.
 They ushered Japan through the critical stage of the first transition. The word of the two surviving Elder Statesmen is practically law. When they, too, go there probably will be a new Genro, but not a perpetuation of the old Genro by the injection of new blood. Hirata and others, parti- cu1arly Admiral Count Yamamoto of the Satsuma clan, are consulted much now. When the times comes they may from a new dictatorial clique which will hold sway over the coun- try due to the power of their word with the throne. But Matsukata and Saionji are not admitting them to the innermoSt councils of the old Genro, and when they dierthe famous states men Of the Meiji era will be gone for ever.

charge of all British undersea cables. Another was given to a business asso- ciate and the third presented to George Mackenzie, journalist and close friend of Sir John.
 George Mackenzie, who has lived in Los Angeles for the last four months, is now on his way back to London, his home.
 In connection with the relic some interesting facts of its laying are re- called.
 One of the stretches of the cable, laid by the American frigate Niagara and the British ship-of-war Agamem- non, broke when 300 miles off the Irish coast owing to a sudden dip of the sea bottom.
 In 1885 the largest cable of the trio was loaded on the historic ship Great Eastern, a ship that proved a failure as an ocean-going carrier but a success for cable laying. This cable was 2.300 miles long and weighed about 4,000 tons. When about 1000 miles from the Irish coast this cable also broke. The following year the Great Eastern laid another cable.
 But these early cables are now all dead" the life of a submarine cable being but about forty years and most of them but twenty-five years.
 These early cables could transmit but seven words a minute, while mod ern cables carry from eighty to nine ty words a minute, with messages passing in both directions

 PANACEA
Lord Leverhu1me, 71, Still Likes to Dance and Go to Theatre.

London, Nov. 13.-Work and a cup of tea at 5 a. rn- every morning-that is the recipe for longevity that Lord Leverhulme is handing out now that he has passed his seyenty-first birth day.
 Lord Levehulme admits thta he is not a teetotaller, but he drinks only on rare and celebrative occasions. He doesn't spend much time with the newspapers, either, and that may ac- count for the fact that he is still look ed upon as a very active man, though well past the three score and ten mark.
 ''I keep fit by taking pleasure in my work Lord LevehuIme said when asked how he had managed to dodge rheumatics, creaking backs and other signs of age. Work is my greatest joy. It is that and regular habits which keep me well. I am never ill and so I am always happy.
 This is my normal day:
 "4:30 a. m.-RiSe and spend twenty minutes in gymnastfc exercises.
 "4:50-Shave and dress.
 ''5:00-A cup of tea and as I sip it begin attacking business reports.
 "7:30-Breakfast, consisting of tea, toast, bread and butter, jam or mar maIade. No meat.

Therein perhaps is the secret of his youth which is in evidence frequently as he trips the light fantastic several nights week in London's hotels and cluos-

It is in pos sesslon or John Mackenzie, brother of George Mackenzie, to whom the vaIu- able relic was given by Sir John Pen def, British magnate, who was instru- mental in laying them and who had the cross section made.
