'•The Man-’o-War’s Man.” a melodrama
cf the ultra sort, and written to tickle
the sensibilities and excite the eolhusUam
of the god who patronizes the nailery,
waa given at the theater last night and
yeeterday afternoon to fair houses. The
jilay la not strong, but there are come
things In It that are pretty and pictur
esque The scenery Is good and the com
pany Is equal to those presenting melo
dramas of the class.
Some eight or ten centuries ago the
church thought It could both sttract and
Instruct the masses of the people by
means of the drama, a form of amuse
ment not much heard of since tho days
of ancient Greece and Home, and preserv
ed through the Middle Age,* only by the
monks The clergy therefore turned the
atilcal managers, and presented curious
and grotesqu* plays In which the devil
was always a d;a|erate villain who ''got
the worst f It” In the last act. It la a
rather remarkable fact that although the
clergy originally pot the devil on the
stag,-, they have In Inter years been com
plaining of hla presence there. Whatever
the truth of this may be. It Is quite cer
tain that thl# early precedent has result
ed In every dramatic devil being made the
villain of the play, a proceeding which
seems hardly fair when It ts considered
that his satantc map sty has not te en al
lowed to give Ills side of the case. It Is
probable, according to quite general ti
llef, that circumstances over which he
has no control prevent him from telling
his own story. However that may lie.
modesty would have prevented him from
picturing himself In such glowing and
fascinating colors us Marie Corelli has

this story of the devil on earth. Miss Co

first time In the history of literal tire of
the drama, made him truly a fallen an

during hie visit to the earlh In the form
of a mortal Is startling In Its originality
and striking In Its probability. It was In
evitable that such a novel, translated Into
almost every tongne and read In America
to the extent of thousands of copies, con

popularity of Mario Corelli In America

Satan," the owners have one of the best
pieces of dramatic property on tour this
season.
"Sherlock Holmes.” as brought to life
by the experienced art of William Gillette,
may be said to be a detective belonging to
the present "age of electricity." The elec
tric touch of the dramatist was needed to
give a semblance of real life to Dr Doyle'#
character Hla lightness of touch ts evi
denced In the details of stage crafl Ills
humor would save a much more melodra

th* hostility of the French |<eople this was
atclctly kept from them. But the French

assure the safety of the Emperor from
the moment ho entered French territory

Inevitably Ihe protecting agents gel to
know much about ihelr wards which the
high personages themselves wguld rather
keep private. But It seldom happens that
damaging stories become public properly
through gny Indiscreet talk on the part
of these officials. Men and women em
ployed In this delicate and confidential
branch of service are persons of exception
al skill, and generally of Incorruptible
fidelity. Many of them, especially on the
continent of Europe, can s;>eak five or six
languages with fluency. They havn to be

to continue thrlr salaries. Of course, the

office they are Irretrievably disgraced.
In aoms countries summarily punished
for violation of ihelr professional oath.
Their work Is rendered except lot silly ar
duous by the constant strain upon the
nerves that It Imposes. They have to be
always on the watch. The moment In
which they relax Ihelr attention may be
the very moment of a fatal attack. And,
of course, the mere fact of a criminal
even gelling near enough lo a royal tier
son lo make an attempt upon his life
means Ihe professional extinction of the
secret aervlca man Nothing la held to ex
plain away his fault; he Is there to see
that no attack be made; If one Is made
