A Paris IMiiy in Which the Sir Chic1 ! > T lh < ; Khtu L TnkiM Purl- The lower gnulo of French iilny- writrhts. who fas ton on the bonsations of tlio hour for the aubjcots of their plays , have found n couponinl and prolllnblo tonic for dramatic treatment in tlio murderous exploits of Jack the Ripper. The play of "Jack I'Eventreitr , " which is now being iiorformod at tlio theatre of the Chateau d'Enu in Paris , is tlio work of Messrs. Xnvier Kortratul'aml Louis Clairian. As might bo oxpooted , a pln.y with sueh a hero is full of bloodcurdling - curdling , double-distilled realism , but the leading dramatic criticin Pans Fraiioisqup Sureey considers it worth attention in his theatrical clironirjuo in Tumps to the extent of two colugijiH. The first poraonagowa nro intrbdnced to in tlio drama is Sir Kohinson Brown , chief of tlio Now York polico. That \\w \ \ I\ow York chief coiistuble should hnvo a titular preface to his niiino is only in accordance with the peculiar knowledge which a Fi'onchtimn hits of anything outside of his own country. And what moro natural than that Sir Kobiiibon should go to study anil got points from the magniliceiit nolicc syhtt-m in Lon don':1 It is not quito certain whether Sir Robinson is sent by Now Vorkor by the government , but the drnnmtiHts evi dently think Unit , in any ca o tliero is very little in America , ontsido of Now York. Sir Robinson in particularly anxious to know how Uir Slovens nmn- tigcs to arrest , try , and hung seven criminals in as many days. "It's the simplest thing in the world , " says Sir Slovens. "I have a pqniul of girls in the force whom I pay to become t.ho mistresses of the criminals and then hand them over to us. " "Very ingenious , " joinnrks tlio chief of the Now York polico. ' * Jut ! can you always flml women to do the work. " "I should Bay BO. See , hero is a list of the names of the last seven criminals hanged find of the women who caught them. " And the thealrienl representa tive of Superintendent Murray took a note of the names of the women and their addresses. lie obtained ether val uable information from Sir Stevens aim then bade him good-byo. Sir Robinson was not gene ten min utes when another visitor noiit in ills card , which also bore the name of "Sir Robiiifcon Drown , Chef do la 1'olico do Now York. " Another Sir Robinson is hhown in and isuoseribed asas a"Yan- koo tres rahloutun poiigrliichoux ( very ugly and a little disagreeable , Sir Stevens is naturally astonished at tlio appearance of the duplicate Sir Robin son , but that gentleman says : "Jforu is the proof that I am the roul Sir Rob- ijiHon , " and pulls from his pocket a doc ument which establishes his identity , and explains the objects of tlio commis sion on which ho is sent "par le goiiv- cniomont. " IIoalBOOxpluinsthat when ho landed in England ho was Boi/.od by a "band of brigands. " who carried him to a cave and stele his money and some of his papers. It turns out now that Sir Robfnson No. 1 is Jack , who is not vet the Ripper , but is the chief of a sot of thieves who "lodgo under Uio bridges of the Thames. " It was BO von of his squad that hud been captured by Uio police and executed. Having ob tained the names * of Iho women who acted as police bpios Jack de termines to boglii his career as the rip per.

Some dritnkon women , test children , and a milord tire introduced , and other things , which show that the nulhors , Messrs. Hutntnd and Clairian , have iwulo a brilliant im- iiglnnUVQ study of social lifo in London. They have always kept in view the fact that they wore writing contemporary history us well as melodrama , for the average Parisian takes hlt > idons of for eign countries from Iho stago. To the credit of the dramatist , however , it should bo added that they have been realistic enough not to let the London ] > ilico catch Jack.

' An entire want of reverence for everything winch is not naturally and rationally worthy of reverence is shown bv Dr. Uolmos , nays a writer in the New England Mngaxlno. The demo cratic characteristic of his mind mani fests itself every whore In his books ; and it makes him a radical in religion , aa it makes him a radical in moral convic tion. IIo will not accept as true that which has no ether claim but antiquity , or that which has no ether claim than moro nulhorily. This tendency some times makes him too iconoclastic , and it sometimes makes him strike too heavy blows nt the narrow creeds of men ; but it is a genuine part of Iho man , and a part of his democratic equipment. Ho will accept what is good because it is good , but for no ether rea son whatever ; and this .is the essence of the democratic conception of man. At the same time Dr. Holmes has a thoroughgoing ough-going faith in character as the basis of all that , is manly. Ho does not count men as of equal worth morally or spiritually ; but manhood , wherever ho finds it , and of wlmtovcr true quality , ho respects nnd honors , lie carries his conviction of the worth of man hood so far that ho says , "Wo may conlidently trust that wo have over us a Doing thoroughly robust and grandly mag niinimous. " Ho will not oven boliovu in Uod ns acting the tyrant or piuying the autocrat. Her llnhy Kuril in Court.
