So slight facial Characteristic as scar
becomes Of great interest when it disfgures
the brow Of a Shakespeare. We know So
little of the myri ad-minjed man. MS per
sonality is 50 vague and 81 exalted by the
ina aginations of his reyerent Students and
worshippers, ,thata scar is seized upon eager
ly as in some way fixing his in dividuality
and pointing to those weak and human as-
poets of his nature which make him one Of
US in spite of his unapprOachable genius
We know not to whom the honor of first
discovering this blemish is due. william
Page, the artist, is the first to make known
the existence of the mark to the admirers of
Shakespeare on this side of the Atlantic
By laborious research and careful, artistic
comparisons he demonstrated to his own
satisfaction that deep scar marked the
forehead Of the poet above the right eye
brow.
The direction and results of his study are
given in n lecture. In this lecture. as in his
labor, the artist dealt only with the bust of
the poet at Stratford on Avon, the German
mask, and what is known as the Chandos
portrait. The German mask was plaster
cast taken by German antiquary from
wax impression made alter the poet death.
Although time has made sad havoc with the
east which the reverent German preserved.
it reveals, in connection with the Chandos
portrait, more than was ever before known
of Shakespeare's face,a scar. The scar
was first noticed in the mask and verified by
the portrait. This portrait was the only
one in existence known to have been taken
from Shakespeare's living face. Before 1t
came into possession of men who could ap-
preciate it. laundering artist had restored
it, so the lineaments Of the original picture
were in great measure lost This paint
was cleared away by careful hands, and
photographs taken of the almost ruined
original. These revealed the scar of the
mask, thus demonstrating beyond doubt
that both mask and portrait were authentic
Mr.. Page has made the face Of Shake
speare such study that he should give his
picture to the world in forms that can be
within the reach of everybody. Give the
artist copyright, and let the world see the
face with the scar, that the impressions may
be corrected which have been made by the
portraits and casts which have been cur
rent since Shakespeare's death.

THE NEW CITY CHARTER BILL

We understand that his "Excellency" SAYS
that the PRONUNCIATION of the new city charter
act would be "a good thing for the men who
uot the offices, but 4 bad thing for him. He
is understood to have said that in view OF the
action Of Gov. Kemper, Of Virginia, i'll the
Petersburg case a similar case to ours, that
his signature Of this act would be an outrage
upon public opinion, that no adminlstratlo On
could stand; that, in fact, it would be an at
tempt, under statutory provisions, to violate a
constitutional right, and that right furda-
mental, being the right of self-government-
the privilege by the people Of electing their
own officers
This language we confess does not sound
like Kellogg, but on the contrary, very much
.:nlike that individuals style. 1t is not, how
ever, altogether improbable that even Kellogg
may have come to the conclusion that tamper-
ing with the sacred rights Of the people is
dangerous business, and that the men who are
clamorous tor him to sign this most infamous
bill, care more tor the offices and money they
hope to win by it, than for him or the conse-
Yuences that will be pretty apt to follow upon
40 fragrant disregard Of what is known to be
the pc pular will. We have no hesitation in
asserting that the signature of this act by
Kellogg, would be SO gross violation Of the
rights expressly guaranteed to the people by
the Constitution, that any act of resistance
short of conflict with the United States forces,
would be justifable.
