This was definitely decided to-day by John B, Stanobfield, his chief counsel, and his agsocctates in the grand larceny trial which is now in its closing hours. Aceording to every token, the case should go to the jury on Tuesday night. It is expected the twelve will render a prompt verdict, particularly as Justice Clark said to them last evening just before dismissing them until Monday: “You are assured that you will be of your duties before Thanks- siving and can go to your homes. ‘The orcas examination ofPrall and {ta effect upon the jury are the two mais points upon which the defense relies for the acquittal of Henry Glagel himaejf is in more cheerful frame to-day than he has been at ny moment of the long trial.

M, Brieux is e the first “Immortal” ever sent as a formal envoy to America by the Academie Francaise, and he brought a warm personal greeting from Presl- dent Poincaire of the French Republic to the American Academy of Arts and Letters which has just ended ite session. But some of the best of M. Briouz’s work reached us before himself; “Damaged Goods,” where those who came to laugh remained to chill with horror two versions of “Maternity.” RIVE vs and to think; “The Three Daughters of M. Dupont,” a sympathetic and penetrating study of unhappy w and in book form M. Brieux has said of his dramas: “One theme runs through them all, lke a dominant leit motif. That is the problem of the position of woman in modern society. Throughout my entire literary career I have tried to awaken society to the fact that woman is mistreated and waltreated and that as a weaker being she needs a helping hand to win a better position in Ife, “I have turned to those who are weak and need pity. | have found that there are two mem- bere of society whe are most neglected, though they are the weakest—the woman and the child. 1! have taken up their a cause as if it were my ewn.” And he has fought for it with the valor and the chivalry of a Knight Crusader, not hesitating to attack either marriage or maternity, so far as the former becomes a soulless act enslaving woman, and the latter a mere gratification to masculine ego tiem, Therefore, when saw hin yesterday at tho Hotel Netherland it was but nataral that we should speak of the present and the future of womanhood. “Yea, I believe that woman atill re- mains a slave—not always, not every woman, but in too many instances,” M. Brieux admitted, unhesitatingly, “Man is her tyrant—again, not every man, but too large a number of men. The pleasant-raced, honest, simple fellow may be in his home the most inflexible of rulers. The tyranny of the hearth is sometimes the worst of WII MILI t Week's Complete Novel | Ih the Evening World all, and wherever we find tyranay we ought to oppose it.” M. BRIEUX 18 CONVINCING IN HIS SANITY AND SINCERITY. Which sentiment is surely the best of imroductions for M. Brieux in a country that came into being by an act of resistance to tyranny. And as I studied him I was assured that he meant exactly what he said. There {s @ most convincing sanity and sin- cerity about him. He fs tall, nearly wix feet I fancy, with the broad- shouldered, robust figure and ruddy coraplexion that are mute witmesses of a healthy, out-of-door life. His eyes are the keen, bright blue of the ocean in winter, and his powder-gray hair is Drushed back in a thick, some- what unruly mass, to uncover a broad forehead bulging alightly above the brows. His face is square and smooth-shaven, and his well-cut mouth smiles as readily as his eye- brows lift—which is in response to nearly every question. “You feel, do you mot.” 1 asked, “that dt 1s not merely during her married life that woman suffers from the tyranny of man?” “It may be felt before she has mar- ried at all,” he replied. “The education ef the young I THE SMUGGLER | The Story of Three Girls’ Strange Exploits In a Realm of Jewels and ‘‘Contrabands” BY ELLA MIDDLETON TYBOUT {WILL BEGIN MONDAY Ne Nt | Nj nically ruled household,” I submitted | | “Thi many kinds of girl not infrequently reselvee it- eelf Into the fermula that she need learn only how te please men.

Brienx movingly pleads the enuse of the woman whe must meet the world alone, Therese, the heroine, is driven out of one position by the love-mak- ing of ber employer and out of an- ether by the aaimosity of a union of men workers. The dramatist publicly Gefended bis play with the statement that “with few exceptions, the lonely ‘women are condemned te suffer, wit- tingly or unwittingly, the tyranny or protection of men. If I am mistaken, Jet the women themselves eay a0,” he added, significantly. Yet tn this very play he suggests the remedy for woman's eervitude— “One self-supporting women the more means one slave the lees.” “1 de net believ@ that wemen will ever reach a free, happy and use- ful etate,” he told me, “until they have gained fof themecives eoe- nomle independence.

Another of M. Brieux’s convictions which should strongly recommend him to Americans is his belief in the love match as opposed to the mar- riage of conve! » In “The Three Daughters of M.
