ABSTRACT
Our Berlin correspondent telegraphs that M. Anton Chekhov, the well-known Russian author whose death was briefly announced in ‘The Times’ on Saturday, died at Badenweiler on Friday. He was not unsuccessful as a dramatist, and his realistic play, ‘The Three Sisters’, written in 1901 found favour mainly in Russia. It was, however, chiefly as the writer of short stories in the style of the modern French school that he achieved for himself a reputation which extended beyond the borders of his own country.
