Shakspeare's Early Married Life

The Hathaway's had lived in Shottery
for forty years prior to Shakspeare's mar
riage. The poet, then wholly undistin-
guished, had just turned eighteen, while
his bride was nearly twenty-six, and it
is often said now that she did wrong to
wed this boy-lover. They were married
in November, 1882, and their first child,
Susanna, came in the following May.
Anne Hathaway must have been q
wonderfully fascinating woman, or
Shakespeare would not have loved her so,
and she must have loved him dearly-as
what woman, indeed, could help it 9-or
she would not thus have yielded to his
passion. There is direct testimony to
the beauty of his person; and in the light
afforded by his writings it requires no
extraordinary penetration to discover
that his brilliant mind, sparkling hui
NOR, tender fancy and impetuOus spirit
must have made him in his youth the
very paragon of enchanters. It is not
known where they lived during the first
years of their marriage Perhaps in
this cottage at Shottery. Perhaps with
Hamnet and Judith Sadler, for whom
their twins, born in 1885, were named
Hamnet and Judith. Her fathers house
would have been chosen for Anne, when
presently, in 1856, Shakespeare was
obliged to leave his wife and children,
and 90 away to London to seek his for
tune. He did not buy New Place till
1897, but it is known that in the mean
time he came to his native country
once every year, 1t was in Stratford
that his son Hamnet died in the year
1897. Anne and her children probably
had never left the town. They show
her bedstead and other bits of her fur
niture, together with certain homespun
sheets of everlasting linen, that are kept
as hcirlooms to this day, in the galret
of the Shottery cottage Here is the
room that must often have welcomed
the poet when he came home from his
labors in the great city. 1t is very
homeIy and humble place. but the sight
of it makes the heart thrill with u strange
and incommunicablc awe. You cannot
wish to speak while you are standing
there. You are scarcely conscious of the
low rustlingo Of the leaves outside, the far
off sleepy murmuring of the brook, or
the faint fragrance OF woodbinc and
maiden's bush that is waited in at the
open easement, and that swathes in ma
ture's incense II memory sweeter than
itself.-William Winter, in Harper's
Magazine for May.

House.

The eight-hour law went over on expira-
ton of morning hour and the bill relating to
coinage and coin and bullion certificates
was taken up, and Clafiiu spoke in opposi-
ton.
Chalmers called up as question of priv
ilege the resolution offered by him for inves-
tigation of his conduct at Fort Pillow, and
made personal explanation.
The subject occupied the attention Of the
House for long time, and mt one period
there were indications of trouble between
Chalmers and Burrows in consequence of
an allusion made by Chalmers to some criti-
cisms against Burrows for his conduct in
the war. Chalmers. however, disclaimc
any personal knowledge on the subject, say
ing that he had his information from Wash
ington newspapers. Burrows branded the
allegation as utterly untrue, and finally the
whole subject was laid on the table.

WASHINGTON, May 6.


Mcdonald reported the bill introduced
yesterday by Eaton making it unlawful to
use any part of the army or navy at the
polls, etc. HE igave Inotice that he would
call it up tomorrow.
The Judiciary committee has added two
amendments. The first provides that the
bills prohibiting against bringing to or en-
ploying troops at the polls shall not apply
to the use of military force when necessary
to protect the State against invasion. The
other amendment inserts the words "when
the Legislature cannot be convened" after
the clause which exempts from prohibition
the employment OF the army or navy to en-
force the fourth section of article four OF the
constitution and laws in pursuance thereof,
upon application to the Legislature or exec
tive of State"
Beck reported the Legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, and gave
notice that he would call it up at an early
day
The principal amendments made by tho
committee on appropriations are those which
were agreed upon by the committee yester-
day. including the omission of the House
clause directing the $l0,090,000 reserve
to be issued in payment of arrears of pen
sions.

English Crops and Markets.

LONDON, May G.-The Mark Lane Express
says: The wheat plant has improved. The
prevailing depression has caused farmers to
draw largely on reserves of wheat, and sup
plies at the provincial markets were much
more liberal than they would have been had

average price of whaat declined Sd per quar-
ter. In the country trade is dull. Last
weeks arrivals of foreign into London up to
Friday 1900 quarters; and as the visible
supply of American has decreased a million
bushels, trade has been firm, but mainly
confined to supplying the wants of country
millers, and the demand was met at previous
prices
Maize has been offered in vain at 20s and

mixed American, but there has not been any
quotable change in value.

Sr. PETERsBUEe, May THE Journal says

Of affairs here is untrue. There has been
no prohibition against the possession of
arms, but persons possessing arms must in
form the authorities. Statements that thea

NIT, and that lights in houses would not be
allowed aftel 10 o'clock, are ridiculous in
vention. The city lives and works in the

The Marriage Question.
LONDON, May I'm the House of Lords
last night, the Prince of Wales presented q
petition of 3,258 Norfolk farmers IN favor of
the bill legalizing marriage with q deceased
wife's sister. The prince said that he be-
lieved the pleaure would be of great advant-
age to the community at large and he would
support it. Lord Houton (liberal) moved
the second reading of the bill. The govern
ment, represented by Lord Crancrook,
strongly opposed it and the second reading
was defeated by q vote of 101 to 81. The
Prince of Wales, Duke of Edinburgh and
Bishop of Ripon, voted with the minority
and IA of the bishops with the majority.
In the House of Commons, declaratery
resolution was introduced by Farrar Herschel
lliberaD in favor of aboishing the action
for breach of promise in marriage, except in
cases where actual pecuniary loss has been
incurred by reason of promise, was carried
by vote Of 104 yeas to 40 nays.

On motion of Ingalls, resolution was

territory by white settlers
Consideration was then resumed Of the
resolution asking for authority to take testi-
mony in the contested case of Spofford
remarks in support OF Kellogg s right to the
seat.
Logan offered an amendment directinglthe
committee to inquire whether unlawful or
corrupt means were used to disorganize the
Legislature which elected Kellogg so that it
might elect Spotford.
Kellogg said that he had defed his enc.
mics when he was governor of Louisiana,
had deted them since, and defed them now
He denounced the means employed to dis

Miners Killed.

gagged in priming cartridges in the Sutro
tunnel, were instantly killed last night at

neighborhood, and the cause of the accident
is unknown; but it is supposed that one of
the men was trying to clean giant cap ef

CalifOrnIa's New Constitution Adopted.
Returns of election as the count has prog
ressed are complete surprise The city in
stead Of giving 1000 or thereabouts against
the new constitution, gives majority OF less
than 1000, with returns nearly complete.
Returns from the country are incomplete,
but indicate that while Alameda Sacramento,
Santa Clara and most of mining counties
have gone against, nearly all the agricul-
tural counties have gone heavily for it. As
far as heard, the city and State stand 4,9O0
in favor of adoption, with chances of that
majority being materially increased. Dis

evening, but it soon quieted down, merely a

"A Sad Affair.
SAN Francisco, May 8.-About one week
ago young man named Alfred Burton was
taken to the Napa Insane Asylum from Sac
ramento, where he had been employed in
business for over a year. On Monday he
was put in room with man named
Hopper, who had been an inmate of the
asylum for nine months and had never
shown any disposition to be quarrelsome.
He made no objections to having Burton
with him. They both went TO bed quietly
and were found asleep at . o'clock by the
night watchman. He found them asleep at
10 o'clock, but on the third visit, at l5 \.
NJ, yesterday, he found Burton asleep and
Hopper awake. Tho latter simply SAID that
the boy had been up and soiled the floor,
but he exhibited no special feeling in the
matter. The watchman continued his
rounds and at A. NJ. looked in the room and
found Hopper astride OF Burton, grasping
him 10y the throat, and he was dead. He
said that the boy got up and attacked him,
but this is doubtful. Nothing further is
