Eeawell yesterday entered upon the trial of the suit of Duncanilac Donald against Jsmea Archibald MacDonald Duncan claims to hayejfl gexauded The promises made for Magda tbe adaptation of Hudennanns play of Hei math which Madarij Modjeska produced last night at the Baldwin Theater were borne out by the result of the performance It is beyond question the greatest play of the modern school yet presented and not only that but in the intense absorbing Interest with which the crowded house followed it last night it has pad no equal in years We have seen the English and tbe French ideas of the moral problems we have seen in the one a flippant sarcas tic spirit which has presented the subject in a liirht as if it were of little consequence rather a puizle than a problem dealing with deep eauses of social unrest and unbaopineBs We have seen in the ether phase the morbid and the cynically irreverent The German writers have sent out some plays in which there has been a oertain brutal frankness In Suderraaan9 treatment we have as su perb draraatio skill as any Frenchman has ever shown combined with an earnestness an unerring dramatic instinct which never lets the audience for a moment getaway from the human and rational situation and which keeps the mind and emotions alike excited to see what is to be tbe end of it all The last act alone seems to be overdrawn There is nothing offensive even in the plainest speaking there is only a profound sense of a complication simple and intelligible to anybody full of everyday human nature and worked out with lines and argument which are powerful always and brilliant at times It is dialogue worth listening to dialogue one does not wisl to miss a word of and through It all tbe dramatic spirit is maintained and developed with the certain and positive stroke of genius The situation js one which mgnt happen which very likely has bappt tied Magda driven from home becanse her father an old soldier a martinet in his household as he has been in the Army insists upon her marrying a man she does not love What happens to her the old mat does not evidently care she may have been he almost believe she has been lost in the maelstrom of life She has had her whirl in that maelstrom but she does not sink and she appears in tier old home a great operatic star to whom tbe nobility and the Governor gives a reception It is needless to repeat the detail of the story already printed Suffice it she is indueed live in her old bpme while she is in the village and then the conflict comes between the father and daughter again on the old score of authority She has not been altogether pure bnt she has not been vicious She has given herself up to a man who has left her and a child The old man forces tbe aecret of bsr past from her tne betrayer a coward and a vain soifish fellow is willing to marry her She consents but when he wishes the child to be bidden she refuses and the old soldier is about to kill her when he has a second stroke of paralysis and dies unforgiving Out of Sudermanns play one gets a wonderful wealth of study of human nature and social questions We have the question of heredity in the character of Magda the will and eoprage of tbe soldier jn her nature developed still with a chastening effect from the hard fight she has had and her great triumph We have in little scenes and expressive lines the simple olti fashioned life of the country town family even to the pique pf theMajor and his wife at not being invited to the ball given to Magda and the introduction of bits of character which might be I found in a country town in California We have the question grow ing to be a burning one of tbe rights of women who have to as Magda puts it hunt for a living We have the study ot that curious condition of a natural gift which brings to a woman whose life has not been moral honors admira tipn respect which are far higher in worldly value than any given to virtue and pure womanhood a gift which overpowers the moral question altogether The problems are not solved They cannot be Sudermanns brilliant work is so close in its adherence to the argument that it presents every point on all sides and makes the play a remarkably engrossing discussion in exciting dramatic form of present social conditions and the moral problem all in language and reasoning which anybody can follow and comprehend It is absolutely unconventional absolutely modern not tin de siecle far more the commencement of the new century That Sudermanns play would achieve as great a success with any actress but Modjeska in the part is to be doubted That it is doubly interesting with such a refined and womanlsactress goeswithout faying The personality of Modjeska her high rank as an artist her experience Of popular favor and of tbe honors of society all add to her fitness for the role Into this simple home with its old pictures its old severe furniture and its austere atmosphere Modjeska brings the yery air and spirit of the womanwhe has achieved fame and fortune en the Eta ire I So far it is Modjeska herself Dainty easy wearing the trappings of fashion far more carelessly and lightly than the village women wear their afternoon tea gowns she brings the situation right to the eve and mind of the audience at once The yery atjapiabiljty qf tlje actress to that situation seems to give it a life and reality which carry the play through two acts white the umn formed audience get no glint of the shadow on her past Stilt is there present the light aiid flippant ope and manner of tbe woman who nows the world of men the world weakness There comes the flash constantly of serious bitterness the recoani tion of ahd contempt for all in that life wnicn woman ought to despise wtmn she has grown tq accept and jest at There is np piawktshhe ss about Modiea kas display of her inner heart Nothing could be more unconventional than the scene in which she meets tbe man who has deserted her There is a Uttle natural spasm of course at first but Suder roaon has gjvgn a tone to tbo dia lpgne which Modjeska has developed with the finest arj a toqe which is quite new but perfectly natural However one Would nave to go fgttj every line And scent to do fall justice to a great character put into life and action by a great artist Mr Scinner played the old Major admirably With dignity force apt

at the lpthlutjess of the captains and sergeants who did not keep themselves posted on the gambling games and general corruption around town The Commissioners have learned that pit account of th

was going on in their respegtiye dUtrieta and that owing to their sluggishness gjeaeral ridicule and charges wholesale corruptiea were bronebt On the entire force The effect of this feeling has evidently reached the old City Hall as there was more life and stir among the pld members of the force there yesterday than fpr year before Even Captain Douglass made trips during the evening without an overcoat and Jumped on a car Or walked along the street apparently with all the vigor of a man of 21 years This was just tp show how young he really is For years however he has spent most of hi time in the office as though at home for a cbifort4tie evening The number of men who will be affected by the reconstruction of the fore Js trifle larger than one would imagine There are policemen over 69 years of age and over twenty years op tbeforse who should be retired on 4 pension but who cling to the full pay to the injury of the force Some of the men tike Chief Crowley Captain Lees Detective

Bush was a native of Rochester and was born on February 23 1831 In early youth be evinced high artisUe talent and his parents concluded to give him a chance to study painting He became a pupil of William Harris noted English landscape artist who was then located in Rochester Mr Harris at once saw that he had an apt pupil and took great interest in hjuu After receiv ing all the information
