HAyERL1.S THEATRE.

Last night Mr.. Mccullough closed the
most successful engagement he has evcr
played i'll this city, aud the most lucrative
since he has been a star. His receipts will
not fall short of S22l, GOO for the three weeks.
We doubt whether lie has ever been seen to
better advantage In his portrayal OF To
man characters he is uneuualeu by any
other actor speaking the English language.
They have very wisely, therefore, been made
the leading features of the two weeks per-
forinances. The first week was given up
entirely to FirUinius. and SO successful was
it that the play could undoubtedly have been
kept on another six days. The second week,
Lear, Hn1nlct, Richard III, and In
g0nlur were the attractions, and the
last week Spartacus, Ofhctio, 1Iryini,ts
again, and Claude -Mcln0tte were OIL the bills.
Cf3these performances his ITirgInius will
rank as the best, and Spartacats, Othcllo. and
Lear next, with Richard. III, IugofHnr,
Claude ic|nottc, and Ht17nlct III the order
II amed. Mr.. Mccullough is an earnest, con-
scieI1ious, lartl-working artist, always striy-
ing to improve and to perfect himself in
those roles for which he is especially fitted.
His physical gifts, his deep voice, his clocu-
1ionary skill, and thorough familiarity with
the stage have placed linn at the head of the
robust school Of tragic actors i'll this cour-
try, Mccullough is a follower Of Forrest,

TO BE Or NOT To IE-A WOMAN.
Hamlet has been the most unfortunate Of
dead men. Ills life was full Of troubles, of
SORROWS, and Of mental despair. And since
his death he has been periodically murdered
and butchered all over the civilized world.
As though that were not enough OF misery
to heap upon this unlucky Prince,
grave reflections have been cast upon the
character of his parents, doubts even
have been expressed as to his ever havin:.
existed, and now comes one Edward 7.
Vinng, and proofs in hand, declares it to be
fact that Humlet was woman! AS to
uam1c1's actual existence-of that we must
admit since he is all historical character. In
De Delleforcst's history Hamlet, after his
unc1e:5 death, becomes King of Denmark,
visits England again, Inarries two wives, by
one of whom he is betrayed into the power
of his maternal uncle 1Fiyler,ts, and is
finally slain i'll battle De Bclleforest de-
rived his story from the Ilistoria Danica of
Saxo- Grammaticus, written about the close
Of the twelfth century. Mr.. Vining prac~
tically admits the existence Of q Hamlet, or
else why write a book to show that
this, man was 4 woman? This author
then says that Hdmlct's shrinking from the
role that tate had called upon him to play is
what would be expected from /; gently-nur-
tured woman ''r;ltller than from fervil
young Prince glowing with desire to:end ull-
eQualed wrongs" Then, also, he says: Z" In
the i1npulsiyeness which causes the hasty
exclamation
Unhand me, gentlemen;
By heaven, I'll make u ghost Of him that let's
me!
which induces him to jump into Ophelta's
open grave with Ldcrtes. which leads him
to slay Polonius the instant that lie sees the
hangings stir, and which enables him ut last
to take his full revenge upon the spur Of the
moment and without premeditation, We see

tsII..
To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Rcfcrring to your
leader in Fridays TRIBUNE, you Imply that
the present Land bill should satisfy the people
Of Ireland. Before point out some Of the
weak points OF the bill, permit me to say.
that it is most reasonable that the Irish peo-
Pile should have 10 hope in English Iegis1a-
tion for Ireland. The Land bill Of 1870 was
usllered in with a Flourish of trumpets -;
it was to pacify Ireland thoroughly, and. like
the present one, it read very nicely; but,
after having tested it for ten years, after
having given it as fair a trial
as it was possible for any meas
nre to get, the whole world, including
Mr. Gladstone, acknowledges that it was a
fAilure, and Iam thoroughly convinced that
the present Land bill is rs great Il sham as
that OF 1870, and that-i if the Irish people con-
sent to give it a fair trial they will find ont
its comparative wortllesness.
can hardly see one substantial benefit
that the Land Bill Of 1851 confcrs on the ten
ant. The fixing Of tile rent for fifteen wears
is more likely to be detrimental than beng
tclal to the tenant, because the price OF ar-
rlcultnrm productions is more likely to bc
lower than higher fifteen years from now.
The fixing Of the rent by s'a court paid by
the British.Governinent' seems fair enough
At first sight; but you have omitted to saw
Il1at tnat court will be UpU0iufcd by rfle
britlsn Government, and that it will contain
oily oily! aee On men. In other Words these uen,
British Government, will have ufs1lutc

Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1881-07-18

We believe the winning of wealth to be
perfectly legitimate pursuit. Wealth
has great and benefcent uses, and the
world would go very slowly if money
could not be accumulated in wise and
enterprising hands; but wealth may be
used to make all men near it prosperous
and happy, or it may be used to make
poor and miserable. When rich man is
only excited by his wealth with the desire
to be richer, and goes on to exact larger
profits and to grind the faces of the poor
in order that he may be superfluously rich
he becomes inhuman. The chistian
use of wealth is what we need in this coun,
try and in all countries. 1t is not that
wealth does not give in charity. 1t is not
that wealth is not sufficiently taxed for
the support of those who are wrecked
in health or fortune, but it is that wealth
does not share it's chances with the poor,
and point the pathway for the poor to-
ward prosperity. AS rule, wealth is
only brotherly towards wealth, and the
poor man feels himself cut off from the
sympathy of all those who have
the power Of winning money. We
may rest assured of one thing, namely;
that the poor in future will insists on
being recongnized. If they are not igored
in mad greed for wealth at any cost to
them-they will make the future trou-
bled and terrible one for our children and
our children'S children.

have landed in the United States. In
New York alone during the first six
months Of 1881, the arrivals numbered
100000. They are nearly all bound for
the West, and do not produce any appre-
ciable effect on the labor markets of the

New York's death rate for the last six
months has been extraordinarily heavy,
being twenty per cent greater than for
the corresponding period of last year,
when it was by no means light. 1t is
safe to say that part Of the increase has
been due to dirty and neglected streets,
and part also, perhaps, to the unusual
weather conditions. These tell with
greatest effect on people who do not lead
home lives, and who have few home com,
forts.
