Otis Skinner and "Tha Dual."
What is declared to be the greatest
modern drama that hfiM come to us
irom Fiance la "Tho Duel." lit which
nil* skinner will be seen here next
Wednesday at matinee and night.
This play, after enjoying the most
unqualified success In Paris at the Na-
tional Theater, the Comedic Pruncalae,
was Secured by Charles Frohman, who
entrusted the adaptation to Louts N.
Parker, the English playwright. The
first production of "The Duel" In New
York enabled Otis Skinner to achieve
such an overwhelming triumph as this
fine actor has never before attained.
Xew York playgoers who had wltneaaed
his previous fine characterizations were
astounded by the masterly characteri
zation of the Abbe Daniel which reveals
fresh phases of Skinner* gentua.
Need less to say his ape parnnee here In
this play will be regarded as a momen
tous theatrical event worthy of the
most serjous conalderattona. "The
Duel" appeals to all claase of theater-
suers and ther&tn Ilea the secret of the
[treat success It won both In Paris and
In New York.

Vanderbilt and hla family, while at
tending church at Biltmore. have rut
fered much annoyance from curious
crowds of sightseer*. The Rev. Rod
ney Ruzh Swope, fector of Mr. Vender
blit's All Souls church, endowed and
kept up by Mr. Vanderbilt, took or
raslon to protest against this evil, a*
well as others, from his pulpit at the
morning services Sunday.
Dr. Bwope did not mince matters.
There were some things he was tired
of,‘and he did not propoae to tolerate
them, he said. One thing, he did not
propose to be annoyed by his congre-
gstlon coming Into the church at all
hours, as they had been doing. An
other was the sightseers. Dr. Bwope
said:
"I want you to understand that thla
not a show place, bttl a house of
worship."
The church Is small, though very
pretty. Hundreds of vleltors to Ashe
ville go to All Souls church every Sun
day. and the Vanderbilts are the sub
jects of the curious crowds of specta
tors who come to see the sights.

terentlng representatives of a foreign
power, Herr Bjorn Schauman and Herr
Allan Zllllacu*, of Finland, are In the
city for the purpose of making a study
of the prohibition laws oV Charlotte.
As Finland will soon become a coun

the czar has restored to the country the
old laws, the Finlander* are looking
about for new Ideas In the matter of
regulating the liquor trafitc. It being
their desire to make prohibition an ef
fective law If possible in their native
land.
The two agents of the Finnish gov

the country for quite awhile and have
visited all of the principal cities of the
north and west, studying the American

provides that the right to deal In light
wines, beer and liquors shall b« given
to a corporation which takes out of the
profits 6 per cent and turns the re
mainder over to the state for school
and other purpose*.
The Finns are not given much to In
toxicants, and the representatives aay
that only the poorer people drink whis

stimulants.
They have expreued their disap

ry system, and also of the way the
question Is handled In the larger cit
