Bhsaesthal, a lawyer.

——— ,door a big man in a blue cavalry cloakand cap, who had Just entered. He .vaslay-Ins; aside his cloak as Ipassed, andthen took out of their holsters first oneand then another navy revolver, bothseven-shooters. Isaid. too flippantly:

'You take good care of yourself"He turned on me sharply, witha ques-

tioning look of. keen eyes under heavyeyebrows:

"Are you a friend of Smith-Barry?""I should hardly be staying In his

house ifIwere not.""Then Iwill tell you how you can l*?st

prove your friendship. Get him to carrywhat Icarry-

'ls he in danger?""Danger? There's a detective at this

moment behind every tree about thehouse, and even so we don't know whatmay happen. We hope he is safe hereat home, but he joes about unarmed, andit Is known he is unarmed, and no manwho does that can be sure of his life.We have tried our best to make him takecare of himself. He will not. Now doyou try."

Nothing ever impressed me more thanthis sudden outburst, this appeal, thisflash of light upon the scene. The bigman, it turned out. was the Chief Con-stable of the county. He knew whereofhe spoke. 1promised to do what Icouldand Italked with Smith-Barry.

He was a man equally remarkable forcourage and for coolness, but In mattersaffecting hi* personal safety he did notuse the Judgment for which in othermatters he was equally remarkable. Hecould not be persuaded that anybodywould think it worth while to killhimHe knew well enough that the shootingof landlords had become a popular pas-time, but he could not. or would not. un-derstand why he himself should be shot.

"Iam on pood terms with my tenants;my rent? are fair rents; Ievict nobody.What have they to gain by shooting m»?"

But It was not from his own tenantsthat trouble was expected. It was notbecause Smith-Barry was not a goodlandlord, but because he was the leaderof the landlords in the South of Irelandsad the most formidable opponent of theLeague that his life va s threatened. 'Itmay be ro." he said; "but Ithink Iwill go on as Iam." And from thatnobody could move him.

Now. a.« it happened, shortly before Ileft London Ibaa met one of the chiefofficials in the Home Office, who .»a!dto me:

"You nrc »;r'!nf; to Ireland.""Yes, but how do you know?"'Never mind ho« Iknow What I

want to say to you is. Take a revolverwith you."Iwas on the point of making a light

answer, but Ftorped. if you get a hintof that kind from a man who rules overthe Criminal Department of the Hr»meOffice and the police generally, you ac-cept It and •!• as you are told. Ihad myrevolver with me, therefore. mil whenthe time came to gr» hack to London Ileft it in its -is. on Smith-Barry's writ-ing table, with a letter asking him toaccept It from me ani once more begginghim to carry It ifonly that it might beknown that he carried it. or if on!. outof his friendship to mt. This prevailed.He arrots me that he still though! womade a needless fuss about it. but hecould not refuse the gift and he could notrefuse to carry It. No letter ever pleatedme more. Ihave never again seen my

friend the Chief Constable, but Ihavenever forgotten him. and Ithink of himnow as a fine impersonation of that m-thority of the law which, in those tur-bulent days, he asserted and successfully

maintained against great odds.G. W. 8.

London. November 18. |The streets of London were red yea- j

terday with placards proclaiming \u25a0

"The Lords declare Civil War!**Isuppose the Radicals think It pays i

to force the note. Mr. Winston Churchill j" their bandmaster for the moment, iThere Is no more effective political rhet- Iorician, provided you believe the peopleare all fools, or all capable of beingfooled all the time: a fallacy againstwhich the warning of Mr.Lincoln passesunheeded

But there is. at least on one aide, astate of feeling in the country compa-rable to nothing; Ican remember exceptthe feeling which prevailed during; theHome Rule crisis, and far. stronger now 1than then In that crisis also the Lords icame to the rescue of the Kingdom, ]which they saved from disintegration !and ruin Ruin for the moment itmould ihave been: only to be finally averted bythe reconquest of Ireland Even to thespectator those were stirring days. Eng-land and Ireland from ISSI onward had Ibecome the Wild West. The revolver !was the real safeguard of personal lib- jHtjr Idon't think it will b« quite likethat now, but it does seem as Ifthe bit-terness of contention and the personal- iHies of politics would go further now jthan perhaps have already gonefurther '\u25a0\u25a0

Iwas InIreland for a fortnight during Ione of the worst periods, but there were |times when London was as disturbed

'

and distressful as Ireland itself. Thosewere years of dynamite in England, when. J** LorJ Randolph Churchill aaid. the !railway stations were flying about ourear«, and when London Bridge cam* jnear being blown up. and when English- jmen in high place were targets Fromthe Prime Minister down to his youngestcolleague, no man was safe without a jguard of detectives; and not then. Mr.Gladstone, whose courage was high,ehook off his escort whenever he could, jOther Ministers paid more resect to a {very real danger. Sir George Trevelyan. jwho as appointed Chief Secretary for jIreland in 1882. submitted sensibly to Ithe precautions the Home Office andScotland Yard thought ne^dfu!. One '

cftemoon Imet Trevelyan in a Bondstreet shop. We left the shop together.

'Two quite Innocent liking men wereoutelde the door. "I hope ycu don't 'mind." said Trevelyan. "Iam obliged to !Ist them follow me" They were Scot- !land Yard detectives. As we walked

'down the street they were within earshot

;all the way. their v!|r!!ance unrelaxlng.Whether they thought their ward ingreater or less danger because Iwas 1with him Icannot nay We parted at ithe comer of Pircadllly. Inboth etreets ithe throng on the sidewalk was dense.bat through it the«f men made their wayWithout violence, without haste, but

'

never for an instant allow themselves'

to be separated from the Chief Secretary Iby so much as an arm 's length. He\u25a0Talked In peril not only real but immi-peat. Two days before his appointment-.8 Chief Secretary his predecessor. LordFrederick Cavendish, and Mr. Burke, ipermanent T'nder Secretary, had beenmurdered. To accept that inheritance of jprobable assassination was a gallant act. jquite characteristic of*Sir George Tre- ;veljran. But Ido not imagine that heor his friends ever while he held that '<clTlce forgot what had happened In jPhoenix Park. In all Mr. Parnell f-« ;varied life nothing he did became him !better than his condemnation of thatmurder and his offer to withdraw fromParliament and from public life.

"The Nigger" at The \evcTheatre.

In four weeks The New Theatre has pre-sented four plays, three of them being newplays. Last night the fourth work wasseen, and it was the first American play

placed upon the boards.-although not the

first by an American dramatist. Its nameIs "The Nigger

".and Its author is Mr.

Edward Sheldon, who wrote "SalvationNell for Mrs.,

(Fiske. Some persons have

objected to the name. They could not ;have objected to the play, because they i

knew nothing about It It .8 to be hopedthat they are not the kind of folk whowrap their minds in fUnnel or cotton bat-

ting for protection against the searching

drafts of the world, and that they do notbelong to the family which finds vulgarityIn "leg" and seeks to avoid Indelicacy by

the use cf "limb." as Ifa limb were neces-sarily a leg. . There are. M Is said, personswho discover offence even In the word"negro," and they substitute the term

"colored person." as If fill or brown, oryellow persons were not colored. But MrSheldon Is aware of all this, and it might

have been supposed that when he chosethe title for his play he did not Intend to

offend anybody, but lid with set purpose ,"point a moral and adorn a tale." His play t

leaves no doubt on that point, and no ne-'

groes or sympathizing whites need give

themselves tny uneasin-*sa»about the mat-

ter. It Is the purpose of Mr. Sheldon's playto show the place which in a white civiliza-tion is and. until some an jet undreamed ofchange comes in human nature, must beoccupied by persons in whose veins runs t

negro blood. The "nigger" with whom Mr.'

Sheldon's play i? most concerned Is a white ,man, cultured, prosperous, high In station, |who Is ruined In the eyes of his white worldby the discovery that the black blood Is in

him. although no trace of It is visible, andhe had never suspected the disastrous truth.But. that truth being discovered and pub- jlished, the leading citizen finds r.'maelf |ostracized aa a "nigger

"

For tne scene Is In the South. And In jthe South they do not In common speech jsay "negro." or "persons of color." AndIn the South, where th- black folks arecounted by the million, and where, accord- .Ing to local belief, they are better under-stood than In the North. "nigner" may be ja term of contempt or of affection. accord- IIng to circumstance, the user and the use.Ifin contempt or as a synonyme of In-feriority, there Is a term still more con- Itemptuous which "the nigger* uses— "pore j

white trash"— and. curiously enough. North-ern sensibilities find no harm In thai.

The principal person in Mr. Sheldon'splay is PhilipMorrow, Sheriff of his county

and candidate for the Governorship ofhis mate. Morrow Is affianced to Georgiana ,Byrd, and the marriage Is to tak» place jafter the groom-elect becomes Governor.The. spectator Is, of course. Introduced at <

otic* to the fine f!,,wer of the first families. I

But It happens that on.- of Candidate !Morrow's black employes has committed jthe crime for which 'niggers" are lynched jand white men are not. The flying rußtan jhides on Morrow estate. IX Sheriff Mor- ]low delivers the wretch to the mob or re- ,fuses to do so his own political death willbe certain. But Morrow's cousin and cam-paign manager and rival In love, CliftonNoyes, takes the matter Into his own hands

'and delivers the fugitive to the howling:crowd in a fashion that does not Involvethe fortunes of his candidate.

Morrow carries the election. And now,as Governor of the. state, he is about to

sign a prohibition act whtch has comefrom the Legislature, and which, he is con-vinced, will help to protect the negroesagainst their worst enemy. Noyes en-deavors to persuade Governor Marrow toveto tiie bill. Noyes is a dlHtiller. and '.a

quite willingthat all the "niggers" In theSouth shall be drunk, hanged, shot orburped, so iong as his own Interests arenot Interfered with. Prohibition will ruinhis business. But the Governor is firm.Persuasion having failed. Noyes threatens.And he uses the most terrible threat tnat

can be brought against a white man. Heproves that Morrow has negro blood '"his veins, and Ms threat Is to make thisfact public if Morrow signs the prohibition

bill. He believe? that no man of Mor-row's standing will dare to descend fromthe. estate of an honored Governor to theplace of "a damned nigger "—face. In otnerwords, social, political and professionalruin. But Morrow signs the bill and de-clares that he will resign the Governorship.Georgrlana Byrd. his sweetheart, turn* fromhim In horror when she learns of the taintin his blood.

Here there Is a scene of. great power.<trongly conceived, strongly acted Thelover In this "white nigger" overcomes thephilosopher and hero. Morrow cannot giveup the • woman he adores He seizes herpassionately, she struggles against him asIf he were a black brute and escapes fro:the room, the Governor's .room at the Capi-tol. In the next act she returns, declaresher love for him. re/uses to. see thai any-thing la changed, \u25a0 that Morrow of mixeddescent is not the same. man she has al-ways loved. But now Governor Morrowattains the heights of renunciation. Heputs love out of.his life. He paints forthis white sweetheart the picture of hisfuture. "You cannot go with me to niggerhotels, eat with me at nigger lunch coun-ters, travel with me In nigger cars."

As the play ends you know that he mustgo into the world stripped of all honor*,saving only his honor as a man, and, it-solved to devote .his life to the negro race.He knows he must face and share the os-tracism of "the nigger"

The theme if odious is powerful. Whoknows how many men and women in thisAmerica have had to face conditions likethose set forth In Sheldon's play, and topay the penalty of an ancestor's folly?

They may not have been Governor*, butthey have been humans and have lost theirplaces In the world. The lusts of blacktucks In the South' are fearful, but what ofthose superior whites whose Inter-racialamours have sprinkled the region with •blacks of modified color?

Mr. Sheldon does not take sides. Hetells his story, works' out his play and leavesthe audiences of The N«-w Theatre to dotheir own moralizing and to reflect upon aphase American civilization which formar.y years has furnished abundant ma-

rial for discussion.The -econd act of the play proved to be

one of great strength- Infact, the strongest

act of any play which has vet been seenIn The New Theatre Mr. Post and MbtsKusmcU roused the audience to a high

pitch of enthusiasm. Mr. Johnson andMiss Sltgreaves and Mr Baker were alsohandsomely applauded for their excellentwork. The play moves with power and UIn all respects the most worthy of the newproductions yet seen at this house.

Th*final moment of the play Is its onlyweak spot. The Governor goes to the bal-cony of th» Capitol for the purpose ofaddressing the people who have gathered

there to congratulate him upon the resto-

ration of order after the riots. You do not

hear htm explain to the people his fateand resign the Governorship. The. cur-tain falls as he steps forward for thepurpose. Had Mr. Sheldon altered bin

play at this point, and through the agencyof Noyes proclaimed to the crowd the

fact of Morrow's birth, so that the Gov-ernor must then acknowledge it. the end-ing , would .be ,strong where it I.- nowweak. Could the audlen< c see the peopleof the play, the people of that Southerncity, turn from their Governor with dis-gust as they learn of hi* blood taint, thedramatic situation -wouW> be powerful In-deed. It would require only a few min-

utes,-a few *.ords, a few^stroke* of -tuc-business,-and • th« -lesaon would be driven"home. It la Just her* -that- the authorleaves > too much 'to,the \ lmeglnation. It Isjust here }Uat :he permits Ui« Altai

They are Monckton Hope's comedy.•The Little Damozel"; the farce by Messrs.Nancey. Armont and Oavault called, "The-odore A C0.." now on at the Nouveautea.Parts, and 'The Great Name." a Viennese

comedy from the pens of Victor Leon, of"Merry Widow" fame, and Leo Feld.

•\u25a0 The LlfleDamoser has Just been pro-duced at Wyniinam'ii. London, and Is re-corded a hit of a pronounced sort." said MrSavage. "My Paris acquls'tion Is thor-oughly clean, and is a veritable 'scream.'Itis a farce of errors, with many highlyoriginal tncks and unique situations. TheViennese comedy is not a musical work,although it ha* some unique musical feat-ures as Incidents.'*
