HE two big rival telegraph companies announce important re- @uctions in rates to go into effect July 1. In various soncs throughout the United States where the charge for a ten- / word message has been forty cents, the tariff henceforth will bo thirty cents. Every telegteph office in the country will have a num- ber of reductions in the long distance schedule. The Western Union Company was the first to announce the cheaper rates. Immediately the Postal Telegraph declared its inten- tion to put a similar tariff into effect on the same date. The President of the Western Union says that just as the inau- guration of cheap day and night letters made people send more tele- grams, 80 the new rate reductions are expected to expand busineas. The Fifth Avenue Coach Company wants permission to run Vines of motor buses on Park, Madison and Seventh avenues. The Public Service Commission is very properly asking the Coach Company sharp questions as to how much of a monopoly it expects to be, why it is so eure the public would rather pay ten-cent fares than five-cent ones, and why it has failed to establish the promised transfers between its Fifth avenue and Pennsylvania station lines. An admirable instance of the value of competition betwoen cor- perations that serve public comfort and convenience! The Evening World Daily Magazine, The competing telegraph companies aim to increase busincss by ‘eheapening and bettering their service to the public. The monopolizing bus company wants more privileges without giving up « penny. Fortuitately the Public Service Commission sees its duty to pro- ‘tect the public from the Lia company. t Do the Aldermen realize that they owe the people of this city Slike protection-from the Taxicab Trust?

N the doing of my work I have neither rules, regulations nor system, f when I feel like it and stop the minute I become tired. Each fresh $4ea play is an entirely new proposition, differing in eome essential trom thing that has gone before, and therefore, te attacked tn a new The germinal idea is the first and th main thing in a play. These ideas ai come to me in many different ways. In “Why Smith Left Home" the germ was the cook-lady, which dear old @frs, Yeamans played so wonderfully. Hav- ing obtained the idea of the character, I built the play around it. “The Mills of the Gods,” which és etm one of my favorites despite the fact” that the criti¢s and the public unant- mously rejected it, was suggested by an ineldent I saw while passing @ pubite school. Some boye were « emailer one and calling him @ coward. The little fellow was crying bitterly. Finally one of the bigger boys said, “I'll BR git his sister and show her what a GEO. OADMURST coward her brother ts," and rather than have bis sister see him under such conditions the smaller boy turned on the digger, fought him desperately and finally beat him. Immestately there came to my mind the thesis of a play—the weakest becomes brave once the incentive is found—and, looking far the incentive to make a fight- ing man of one'who instinctively shrinks from combat, quite naturally I found the reputation of the woman he loved. There was the play ready to hand. Some years ago I went to see the new State Bullding at Harrisburg, Pa. It was a magnificent pile, but in the wall was main door, I asked what was to be placed there, and the caretaker informed ‘me that two bronze tablets, with the names of the architect, the contractors and #0 forth, were to ibe put there, He volunteered the information that the were already finished and were lying in the basement. I asked why t not placed in position, and he informed me those in authority were to have them erected, as everybody connected with the bullding was I! de indicted for grafting. Since then some of the men whose names were on those bronze tablets have been indicted and imprisoned, and while I do not know whether or not the tablets were ever put in position I do know that the incident started the train of thought which resulted in “The Man of the Hour.” Having secured the germinal idea, I do not rush to the writing of the play. I Jet the idea shape itself with as little conscious effort on my part as takes months, and sometimes {t takes much longer. I had of “Bought and Pala For" for seven years before I actually it, Dut all thet time the play was developing and maturing. e result was that when I really got down to work I wrote the first three acts ee I She could tel by the little quiver of his hand and by the clenched fist behitid his back that he was falling in love with some one.

Mr, Jarr regarded him with acorn. “I never could stand for the funereal things,” he said. “But I tell you what WERE fine: the colored silk medras shirts everybody was wearing about years ago.” ‘Speaking of Panama hate,” eaid Jenkins, ‘I have a friend who Jmports trom 'y every year for himself summer euits of cream-colored fabric, half linen and half alk.

I write very quickly, because with me the process of writing is merely the physical act of transferring the thoughts to the paper. I write everything in longhand and I play each character as I write, speaking aloud every sentence before I put it on paper. I try to project myself into the personality of each character, and if I can speak a sentence naturally while in that character I know that I can make the actor epeak it naturally also. A thousand copies of a book may be sold in New York, another thousand in Chicago, five hundred fn San Francisco, four hundred in St. Louis, and eo on tiH the smaller towns are reached. These sales keep the book alive and give the publisher @ chance to work it into a success. With a play it le entirely different, A piay must interest and compel attention immediately. Any drama thet appealed to only @ thousand people in New York would be playing to empty benches on its third night and would be in the storehouse at the end of the frat week. Nothing in the world is eo dead as a dead play. Having tried to revive some of them I know whereof I write. The best workmanship in the world will not save a play which does not interest the public, Consequently, as I do not wish my work to be wasted, I am learning to say to myself, “What will be the appeal in this play? Why should the public wish to see “rm” If I can otve myself what appear to be satisfactory answers, I write the play, giving to it always the best that I have, and a that it will be a success for the eake of yers, the manager and myself. eae at least twice out of every three times I am wrong.
