wan especially picturesque. It was per
formed today In tho presenco of tho lord
lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Qadogan, the
,duko of Connaught, commander In chief
of tho forces In Ireland, and a brilliant as

tries' association was opened at the Lon- 1

prlncessca, duchesses, counteses and com
moners attended tho stalls, Uilch conducted
tho biggest kind of a trade,
Meet of the government officials hoisted
tho Irish flag and tho clubs woro similarly
decorated, tho officials all wearing tho
green.
In tho churches tho preachers referred to
(tho occasion, thanking Providence that the
Kngllsh had learned to lovo and respect
their Irltiii fellow-subjects as they never
knew them or rrapected them before
Tho lord chief Justice, Lord Russell of
Klllowen, set tho example In tho law .courts
and al( tho Judges followed his example of
wearing tho shamrock below tholr crmlno
collar.
Tho theaters aro all preparing to mark
tho day In the same way tonight.
On -tho Stock exchango tho enthusiasm
shown In cc'lcbratlng tho day gavo thn room
the appcaranco of a greenhouse. Tho sham
rock was overywhero und thero was mora
toasting of healths than work. As a result
prices w'cro better, though nobody knows
why.
Tho scenes at Aldershot wore character
istic of tho cclcbrutlon of St. Patrick's day
and at all tho other garrison towns thu
shamrock was donned by all tho troops priv
ileged to wear It. At revelllo the Irish bands
mado u tour of tho barracks playing "Garry
Owen," "St. Patrick's Day in tho Morning"
and "Tho Uoys of Wexford." I41 front of
tho ofllcers' mess they playod tho national
nnthom and cheered tho queen.
It Is understood the queen, having ap
proved tho proposed formation of a regiment
of Irish Guards, will malto tho announce
ment on tho subject today.
lllmirilerl)- Scene In Dublin.
Tho usual lord mayor's procession took
Placo In Dublin today. Tho lord mayor of
llelfast and tho mayor of Cork participated,
but a number of nationalist mayors refused
to accept the lord major's Invitation to take
pa.rt In the affair. Tho chief magistrate met
with a mixed reception and thero were dis
orderly scenes at several points along the
routo of tho parade. His carriage was
stoned and windows wero smashed.
St. Patrlolt'B chureji, londou, .was densely
packed when Dlshop.IlrJndlf, if, S, O. (Dis

tho scene us the cardinal, In tils red and

(Copyright, 1000, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, March 17. (Now York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) It03tands now
play, "TAIunon," was produced last night be
fore tho most brilliant audience 1'arls could
gather. Tho play was hulled unanimously
by tho critics ns tho dramatic event of tho
century. iMany of the critics consider It far
superior even to "Cyrano do Dergerac." As
for Sarah Bernhardt, sho surprised oven her
most earnest admirers. Never had she
played with nioro sublime Intelligence.
Tho play relates tho sad story of No,
polcou's son. Historical documents aro suf
ficlently vague to allow of great freedom In
poetical fancy. Rostand makes tho youth a
sort or French Hamlet, tortured by vast
. ti . ii.
...u ,B ,w..cn no 18 noi no o io carry out on
account of thn nverwhclmlnc c rciiiniitnnpM
In which ho finds himself.
Tho action takes placo at the Austrian
court. Tho duko, surrounded by frivolity,
lights single-handed agalnst-hfttrcd. Kvcry
body seems ngalnsf his dead father, oven
Napoleon's widow, Mario Ioutse, who In
dulges In silly levity concerning her Illus
trious husband. Sho carries on shameless
inflations under the very oyes of his son.
iMotlernlcira diplomacy has organized a
systematic effort to dwarf tho son's lofty
nature, even paying ballet dancers io sap his
morals nnd health.
Practically tho wholo drama consists of
tho duke's strugglo against animosity and
evil muueuces. Tho first thrco acts aro
filled with a succession nf sennrn Mlmrnln
tho duko In turn evinces tho great admlra-
tlon which ho carries dcon In his heart for
hla father, shows his sclf-dauhtlmr n.nlm.
Hons to succeed as tho French mnnnrnr nnil
denounces those who keep him In a golden
cage
It Is safe to say that If tho nlav had not
been written by Hostand an American man
ager would havo rojected It as ridiculously
plotless. Here, thanks to tho wondorful
flexibility of tho French language, tho en
thusiasm never lagg for one Instant, but on
second thought most of tho critics regrot
that a certain sameness exists In these thrco
acts.
Action In More Stvlff.
With tho fourth comes swifter action.
After n superb scene between Reichstadt
ami nis grandfather, tho emperor of AU3-
trla, 1 Algnon decides to spread his wings
nnu attempt 'light to France, whero df-
voted conspirators ansuro him the nation
awaits his appearance to upset King Louis
Philippe; and install tho son of their bo-
oved emperor. A princess of Corslcan
blood who la a devoted Donapartlst, .lis-
gulncd as tho duko, throwa off tho pollco
at a masked ball, whllo the real duko es-
capes to Join his partisans, who aro await- eyelashes aro very long and dark; her com
ing him at Wagram. Tho fourth act, rt-p- plexlon Is brilliant; she has only one fault
resenting a night fete, with moonlight, soft tho well known Paget mouth, which means
muslo and Chinese lontorns swinging In rather prominent teeth,

Tho fifth act shows Wagram, rolling

sky. Just as horses aro 'brought forward
lor tho duKcs escape tho party Is sur-
rounded by Metternlch'a police. The con-
spirators aro taken away, all save 1'Algnon,
who Is allowed to remain to witness tho
drath throes of his faithful Flarabard, an
out grenadier of hla father's, who stabs
himself rather than fall Into the hands
of tho Austrian police. Then comes a most
iragic anu moving scene. Left alono with

splendid appearance In both. During the
last four months the. actress has lived en
tirely in masculine garb, preparing for this
ordeal. Sho now acts with abfolutely none
of those little peculiarities which reveal the
woman under her Hamlet costume. Born
liardt created such a perfect type that Ana-
mie iTanco said "hereafter history cannot
picture Napoleon's ton otherwise."
She Invtsls the character with Infinite
courtly distinction and with a melancholy
dreamlneso which at times gives place to a
charming glimmer of youthful gaiety.
Hostand himself says that, depending as It
does much moro upon Its language than up
on Its action, ho does not beltevo tho Amer

TRUSTS COMMON IN BRITAIN

WASHINGTON, March 17. In a report to
the State department Consul Halstcad at
Birmingham, England, h.ij-h that trusts aro
created thero without attracting public at
tention or causing alarm, and, although no
troublo is taken to keep tho fact from the
public, It is extremely raro that a votco Is
raised against such combinations. Thcso
remarks aro based on the rcoent formation
of a wall paper trust, with a capital of
nearly $30,000,000. Dcalcra are expected to
buy -all their stock of this company for n
period of about ten years, but latitude Is
allowed within fixed limits to certain deal
em whoso trado actually requires them to
uso a cortaln amount of foreign made paper.
In such cases, however, tho dealer Is held
to ft limited number of designs and must
purchase them through tho combination.
Consul Wllnour at Dublin, tn discussing
the same -matter In a report to tho depart
ment, says that In order for American wall
paper to compete, It would seem to bo ncces
wry for tho 'American makers to reach 1
somo agreement with tho combination. Ho
