Swells, FINE JEWELS AND HANDSOME GOWNS. BY SALLY SHARP. et ST .. ieeseiisieneeiene s Market and Third, S, F. Publication Office.,,.. 1 BY L. DU PONT SYLE. e e T is a lttle early, it seems to me, to be classing Mr. Stephen Phillips with Sophocles and with Dante, as does Mr. Churton Collins in the Baturday Review; for so many men whose youth have given promise of the arts divine have accomplished so little after the first flush of that youth has paled Indeed, o far as pure poetic imagination 1= concerned, Mr., Phillips’ second play, *“Herod,” shows a retrogression rather than an advance from his first, “Paolo and Francesca”; what improvement there | may be is found in the department of | dramatic construction and this s not always of the first order. I am perfectly | willing to believe that Mr. Phillips is go- | ing to be as great a poet as Dante, whose imagination was sicklied o'er with a pale | cast of thought that the thinking world | has outgrown; but, from the dramatic point of view, to compare the author of “Herod™ to the author of the *Oedipus Rex” is like comparing Defoe as a de- scriptive writer to Carlyle—small things with great, indeed! “Herod” was produced by Mr. Beer- bohm Tree at Her Majesty's Theater on the thirty-first of last October and ran for eighty nights. The English critics | mro slapping each other on the back about this and congratulating their pub- | lic on its high standard of intelligence. | Well, it certainly is gratifving to find that there are 0,000 people in London who can appreciate a poetic tragedy and who will actually pay to see it. But then think of the 1,100,000 people that went to see “Charley’s Aunt” during its run of over 100 nights! That's about thirteen times as many as went to see “Herod,"” end this also furnishes food for thoug! England has not produced a single dra- matic poet worthy of the name since the death of Otway in 1685. This accounts, I suppose, for the tremendous jubilation that has hafled the advent of Mr. Phil- lips. He is welcome, surely welcome; but Jet us not make ourselves ridiculous by forgetting that his achievement as yet in hi= own chosen line is but moderate when compared with what was accomplished | during the nineteenth century in France end Germany. . . By a dramatic poet 1 mean a man who can write a poetical play that will act successfully. Shelley could never do this, | nor Byron, though both attempted it; Bcott and Keats, recognizing their limi tions, never, I believe, did attempt it nyson's plays were all failures, with the exception of “Becket,” which enjoyed & forced run, thanks to the immense ex- ertions of Sir Henry Irving. Swinburne's | @ropsical tragedies (“Atalanta in Caledon’ being excepted) are mere watery moun- taing of words, and Browning, who really | had a dramatic imagination, seemed to | | amne and her brother Aristc | p | taviu — we shall become enthralled with the love- liness thereof., We shall analyze, dissect and polarize that light; poets that shall | also be men of scle whall arise among us and shall sing to us the prismatic glory of its beams; the halo that now sheds its | effulgent splendor around the hend of our | great national poet, James Whitcomb | Riley, #hall seem but as the watery moon | to the noontide sun compared to the daz- zling nimbus that shall encircle the poets of our national maturity. (N. B.—This is the kn as vision.) In the meantime we may be glad to get our dramatic poetry from Mr, Stephen Phillips and to acknowledge that “Herod,” though not a masterpiece in the sense that “Hamlet” and “Faust” are masterpleces, ie yet a fine play and well worth reading. I wonder if it will ever get Itself acted m San Francisco? = = Mr. Phillips’ plot is simplicity Itself, Herod (called the Great), King of Judaea, having raised himself to the throne by violence, marries Mariamne, a Princess of | the house of the Maccabees. His mother, Cypros, and his sister Salome hate Mari- | ulus, who is | regarded by many of the people as the rightful heir to the throne. Instigated by Cypros and Salome, Herod causes Aristo- bulus to be secretly murdered; Mariamne discovers this jusg after the King has de- ed to give in_his alleglance to Oc Caesar Rhodes. Having made Caesar his friend, Herod hastens back with eager joy to Mariamne, only to find that her love for him is dead. HEROD—Mariamne! MARIAMNE—Back, and in the jungle burn Whence you d¢id leap out at my brother's throat Can you deny your part in this? Oh, subtle! Half guitor and half strangler, with one arm About the sister's neck, the other hand About the brother's throat! Maddened by her rejection of his love and persuaded by the slanders of Cypros ard Salome even to oubt her fidelity, Herod in a frenzy orders the murder of Mariumne. Hardly had this been accom- plished when he receives news that Caesar as greatly enlarged the dominion of Judaea, making Herod practically mas- ter of the East and thus fulfilling his highest ambitions. Forgetting his frenzied “Kill her!” he cails for his Mariamne to share his triumph. This gives an effective climax to the second act. The third act renresents Herod as in- sane from grief and remorse. He thinks Marlamne still lives; should he once rea ize that she is dead, his recovery, the phy- siclan declares not to be hoped for. The interest is skillfully suspended through- out this act by devices of his friends to keep the King from insisting upon sight of his wife. When his demands can no lenger be resisted her embalmed body is Herod touches her coid fore- rhetorical figure care so little about the representation of | brought In his works that he persistently refused to | head and “stands suddenly rigid, with a mold them into those forms which expe- | fixed and vacant stare * * * stricken rience has shown a composition must take | end in catalepsy bound.” af it o be acted with success. So while o ey France has had Victor Hugo and Richepin and Rostand, while Germany has had Schiller and Goethe and Hauptmann, Eng- | land has had practically nobody and America has had—George H. Boker. 1| must confess that with even this distin- gulshed name on our side we haven't | scored very heavily yet in the matter of | dramatic poets: but give us time. We &re young yet and are so busy getting rich that we haven't had lelsure to cast even a glance at “the light that never wss on land or sea.” But, by and by, we'll get out our telescopes and take a Jook at it; once we fasten our gaze on it | lips’ style at its best. The following extract shows Mr. Phil- Herod is replying | to Salome's demand for Mariamne's | death: | Would you comm!t such beauty to the earth? Those eyes that bring upon us endless thoughts! That face that seems as it had come to pass Like a thing prophesied! To kil her! And I, if she were dead, I, too, would dle, | Or linger in the sunlight without life; Oh, terrible to live but in remembering! | To call her name down the long corridors; To come on jewels that she wore, laid by; Or open suddenly some chest and see Some favorite robe she wore on such a day! 1 dare not bring upon myself such woe. e e e R Y ) ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

T THE PACIFIC TRADE. HE Tacoma News, in an article setting forth the creditable position of that port in Ehe fof- eign trade of the Pacific Coast, claims for that seaport more steamer tonnage engaged in that trade than all other Pacific ports combined. ~All vessels have their home port, b‘ut the domicile of ships has but little to do with the commerce ’they carry, eith‘er in its origin or destination. The cargo follows the course of commerce and is taken on and discharged where the trade demands. There are eight districts on this coast, San Francisco, Puget Sound, ‘Willamette, Ore., San Diego, Los Angeles, Alaska, Humboldt and Oregon City. The total foreign imports and exports of these ports for 19goo were $128,951,375. Of these San Francisco had $88,237,916, or $23,757,229 more than half of the entire {rade handled by the whole coast. In detail the imports and exports were as follows: S0 FIaNCIBLO 5. voke oo oo dlnisisivision smsne Vst osiss -$ 83.2.1{-2!2 Puget Sound ports 25,051,07 Willamette . 10,005,174 San Diego . g:??ggg Los Angeles ...

But, with about 80co less tonnage entered and cleared, this port carried and handled $63,106,246 more foreign commerce than all the Sound ports combined. . During the first eight months of the present fiscal year San Francisco handled $44,201,396 in foreign commerce and the Sound ports $17,297,009. Of course the foreign trade handled on the Sound shows a large percentage of increase, for there was none at all until railroad facilities were created for handling it. The increase is gratifying to the whole coast, and the enterprise in those ports is a proper spur to the energy of others. But the Times says that all Pacific Coast steamship lines except Tacoma’s have “entered into a combine whereby they agreed each with the other to put on no more steamship lines to run between Pacific Coast ports and China and Japan direct. This agreement precludes any eftension of oppesition lines and permits Tacoma to maintain her monopoly of the Oriental trade. . . We must confess that we are unable to connect on that statement. How an agreement be- tween existing ocean lines can prevent opposition lines is too much for us. If the statement were that they had agreed not to increase the number of their ships, their tonnage, their facilities for han- dling the increase in commerce, it would be more intelligible, but no more likely to be the fact, since that would be an agreement to refuse to carry a profitable increase in commerce and would of course invite other lines, or steamers, or seaports, to carry and control it. We are not aware of the presence of an angelic and self-denying spirit of that sort on this part of the coast. If it exist at all, its bright and inspiring presence must be known to Tacoma alone. As far as the home port of ships is concerned San Francisco has a documented fleet of sev- eral hundred sail ships, and the part performed by the “wind-jammer” in the carrying trade is quite important. Concerning the monopoly of the Oriental trade enjoyed by Tacoma it is difficult to dis- cern. Our total imports from Asia last year were $139,842,330, our exports were $64,913,307. making a total Asiatic trade for the whole United States of $204,756,137. Just how Tacoma mo- nopolized this with the total foreign trade of all the Sound ports amounting to $25,051,670 is something we are unable to find in the figures. Without at present segregating the foreign trade of San Francisco by countries, it is safe to say that this port handied the bulk of the Asiatic trade that comes to the Pacific Coast. All this is said not in romplacency, nor in the idle assurance that any city can count for commercial supremacy upon its geographical position. Pre-eminence in trade comes out of pre- eminence in enterprise, and as San Francisco has gained what she has by the enterprise of the past, she can hold and enlarge it only by equal or greater enterprise in the future. THE RANGE WAR. DISPATCH from Grangeville, Idaho, says that on the Camas prairie and Saltnon River hostilities between the sheep and cattle men have broken out and great carnage is looked for before the close of the season. Idaho is being eaten out by the forces that fight for the free range on the public domain. Swift of Chicago has hundreds of thousands of sheep in that State engaged in driving cattle off the public domain and then in the destruction of the pastures on which they feed. From New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming come additional reports of the range war. It is a situation as distressing as it is discreditable. The wealth of the public domain is being destroyed, the country made more arid, the forests being endangered, and yet Americans boast of their practical intelligence! They have it, but it is not on exhibition in dealing with these prob- lems in the arid region. The National Irrigation Congress, organized a dozen years ago, has toiled and worked and resolved and implored and importuned, and at last has died, discouraged. Its meeting this year was appointed for Colorado Springs, but is declared off because the members are so discouraged that they refuse to attend. Of course that is the final end of the Irrigation Congress. The lesson to be drawn from its failure is that the public domain as Federal property must be made td yield the revenue required to build the irrigation works needed. ; That domain is now the scene of lawlessness and homicide. Let it be put under the reign of law, and let those who are using it be compelled not only to maintain order, but be made to pay for the pasture eaten by their herds and flocks. As we have shown, the Indian wards of the nation are already the beneficiaries of this policy. Their reservations are leased to the stockmen and the tribes are getting a large revenue, while their range lands are growing better and feeding more stock every year. It is strange if the white man is unable to do for himself that which he has done for the Indian. " EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION, RESIDENT McKINLEY’S attendance on Friday evening at a rally of the Epworth League Alliance was in the nature of a jappy coincidence; for it serves to recall attention to the fact that the next big thing in San Francisco will be the assembling of the interna- tional convention of the league. The meeting is to occur in July and there is none too much time for making preparation for it. Fortunately much has been already done, and the hos- pitality and liberality of the city can be counted on to make everything ready in due time, but none the less the subject should engage the earnest attention of all public-spirited citizens from this time on. ; At the meeting on Friday evening the Rev. Dr. Filbern announced that upward of one hun- dred special excursion agents are at work and that assurances have been received fromall the States except some of the smaller ones that they would be largely represented. A high degree of interest is taken in the convention by members of the league in all parts of the country and in different lo- calities meetings to arrange for excursions are being held daily. At the same meeting Bishop Hamilton, after stating that the convention will be one of the memorable events of the year, estimated that upward of 50,000.persons would come to San Fran- cisco on the occasion. That is'the concourse of visitors we must prepare to meet and to welcome. Money will be required to fitly arrange for such an immense gathering and it should be promptly contributed. It will not be money wasted, but rather in the nature of “bread cast upon the waters” that shall return to us after many days, to our advantage and lasting benefit. Let us then turn to this issue with willing hearts and hands. Tt is the next big thing for San Francisco to attend to, T e e A report from Europe. says the promoters of the plan to colonize Palestine with Jews have had such success in raising funds they have been able to offer the Sultan a loan in consideration of his consent to the project, and it is believed the talk of the coin will be sufficiently persuasive to win him over, /" .

With me it was a case of love at first sight and T am told that the other victims were afflicted in similar sud- den fashion. There is something deliclous- ly fascinating about this petted little nleco of the President. I do not know ‘Whether it {s her delightful simplicity, her sweet sincerity, her winsome ways or her pretty face, that has caught the fancy of each and every one of us: but this T do know—taken altogether, she is without exception the most fetching little thing that ever smiled in a drawing-room. And she was as sorry to ledve us as we were to have her go. Mary Barber, all things permitting, would have lfked to see more of us. S8he would have liked to par- ticipate in the many functions we had | prepared in honor of her gentle aunt, the | sweet lady of the White House. She | would have liked to spend every moment of her short stay in this city with the | charming' people who live here and have | tasted to the full the many hospitalities | that we would have been so happy to offer | to her. “I am sorry to leave your city,” she sald to me at the Bryan tea on Thursday. “I like California. I love her people, and I wish that things might have been dif- ferent, or else that we might have re- malned here longer.” And I know Mary Barber meant every word she safd. I had only to look Into her fine dark eyes while she was speaking to feel that. However, I did not look all the time at Miss Barber’s merry and expressive coun- tenance. I looked a few times at her gown and thought how her own sweet simplicity was revealed in her dainty, simple dress. It was of fine white taffeta silk. The skirt just cleared the ground and clung in graceful folds to her slender figure. A deep shaped flounce gave it a pretty finish. The corsage was of the same silk and lald in hemstitched tiny tucks. A jabot of soft white lace was the only bit q relieving ornament. With the gown Miss Barber wore a short-backed white saflor hat trimmed with a full ruche of white mousseline edged with the tiniest band of black. . ) ‘What a bunch of pretty girls Mrs. Bry- an had helping her recefve at her tea. Even Mary Barber’s graclous presence did not take one whit away from that bevy of fascinating misses and handsome ma- trons. And the lady in whose homor th tea was given, Mrs. Rupert Blue, what a beauty she is. Mrs. Blue is going to stay here until early in August, but the sum- mer season is not going to interfere with affairs to be given in her honor. I had a funny experience at Mrs. Bry- an’s tea and I have been laughing over it ever since. I was talking with Miss Stur- divant, a beauty of the- receiving party. She was steering me through the crowd toward the buffet, when she began her apologles for our glorious and erratic cli- mate. “It'’s too bad,” she sald, “the weather we have been having recently, It has made me quite s " sald I, “what Call- fornia is apt to do In regard to weathe: ‘“Have you been in California before?’ sweetly inquired Miss Sturdivant. “I was born here,” sald I, “and have lived here all my life.” ““I thought you were one of the ladies of the President’s party,” gasped the pret- ty girl, and then we went and had cafe frappe together. 5 .

Mrs. de Young was presented with a gavel, a magnificent thing of fvory and gold.. I never saw a more beautiful gown than Mrs. de Young wore that even- ing. It was of palest tan taffeta.

Such turquoises! T never knew there was anything like them, A matrix turquoise medallion Mrs. de Young wore was fully two inches in diam- eter and surrounded by brilliants.
