pany with Kate Hayburn, young girl. 1t
was dark, and when stepping on the boat
Mrs. Beam missed her footing and fell into
the river. The tide was setting swiftly up
the river. which was dark and turbulent,
Dut without a moments hesitation Kate
plunged In after her friend, pausing only
TO give one loud shrek for help. She grcped
about in the water until she caught the
drowning waman, who was struggling hard
to keep from sinking.
Getting as firm hold OF her as she could.
she managed 10 keep herself above water
and clear OF her friends grasp at the same
time. Thus the two women were carried
by the tide two blocks up the river, past
the foot OF Fifty-second street, where Pat
rick Murray, a boathouse keeper, whom the
shouts OF the girl had attracted, put out in
boat and rescued them. Mrs. Beam was
then exhausted, apd before the ambulance
that was summoned arrived she died.
Miss Hayburn was taken TO her home and
cared for. She was exhausted, but other

The Sale Of Influence.
To The Editor of The Dispatch:

~ TIC IluNof W ttc DtoP"t'''
The corrupt associations and results OF
this sort of barter-the sale OF influence
is beginning to assume depressing effect
on trade and industry. II a merchant sell
a bill of goods it is mere than likely that
he will before the goods have left the store
be called on by some one who claims
to have sent him the customer. for
which he should receive, according to
custom, his reward in the form OF com
mission of or 10 per cent. for the disin-
terested service of finding for the mer-
chant a good customeran for the customer
a good merchant, for all Of which he is
often paid by both sides, but about which
the buyer and seller must be careful TO
avoid each others knowing the fact OF the
intervening agency that brought them to-
eether and made them of such good use
10 each other. Almost every branch
of trade is subject to this system
OF spoliation, and the influence is
paid for the more literally just in the pro-
portion that it is least deserving. The
house that feels its weakness and knows it
lacks the confidence of the pubic must pay
most to confdence-men," Called by dis
euising names solicitors, subs. &c..) and so
the less deserving is often brought to par
and even premium above 1t. AT the same
time it becomes iniudicious TO disclose the
true source OF neighbours commercial
standing so established, since we run the
risk of pulling down our own establish
ment, built to some extent upon the same
unstable foundation.
Now, all this crops out under our eyes
i'm an age OF civilization, OF boasted pro-
gress; in q state OF society OF the highest
elevation, where taste for indulgence re-
fleets. rs it were, discredit on work, and
exploits and manGuyres TO get living
without toll are commended as sprightly
and enterprising and ready means OF so
cial elevation.
"In the sweat OF thy face shalt thou eat
bread till thou return unto the ground " is
| regarded perhaps a rather unmeaning
flourish of scripture rhetoric, or, 10 pro-
gressive minds, a very poor parental adj
monitor, but it is OF Divine authority.
The producers and businessmen ano trade
workers continue their labors, and less
number will not do to cOnsummatc their
undertakings and from which they must
earn a living. But the very numerous
class OF intervening men between them
and the consumers OF their products and
handiworks have come i'm to share the
earnings without benefit, we may say,
to society in the end. The result
lis that the reasonable rewards OF
business and enterprise must dwindle to
Iinadequacy, OF the consumers must pay
dearly for the accommodations these bro
lkers in influence afford them, while the
world Is growing poorer by the rapid rate
OF increase Of these non-producers. Mer.
Echandizing, manufacturing, banking. bro
kerage in stocks, &C., insurance, produce
markets-and, indeed, almost professional
business included, are all more or less
taxed for contributions to this influence
agency, and it is to mind accustomed to
palmer times of business strange problem
to be sooner or later solved by society.

Shakespeare and the bible.

In attempting TO ascertain this il is ne
cessary to bear in mind the period over
which his writings extended, and the diff
ferent English versions OF the Bible which
were then eXtant. Shakespeare was born
i'm 1864 and died in 1916, and though only
about fourteen or sixteen of his plays
were published during his lifetime, it is
generally admitted that thrty-four out Of
the tbirty-siX plays were written between
1891 and 1911, and that only two plays
were written after the appearance of
the present authorized yersion-yiZ.,
1911. Apart, therefore, from the ques-
ton whether Shakespeare sympathized
with the great cutlery against the present
authorized version which was raised when
it first appeared, he could not possibly
have used it Tor his library work, even If
be had wished TO do so. Our investigation
is thus restricted TO the English transla-
tions prior to the authorized version. OF
these there are no less than eight, one OF
the New Testament and seven OF the entire
Bible; seven Protestant and one Roman
Catholic. They are as follows: C) Tyn-
daIe's translation OF the New, which APP
peared in 1925; ~ Coverdale's translation
Of the entire Bible, which was published i'm
1885; (3) Matthew's Bible. which appeared
i'm 1887: az Lord Cromwell's or the Great
Bible, which appeared in 1899; o. Arch
bishop Cranmcr's Bible. OF which there
were published no less than six different
issues in 1ji0-'il; o. the Geneva version,
also called the Brooches Bible, which was
published by our English refugees al
Geneva. who fled thither to escape the
Marian prosecutions, and which became
the version of the Puritans; q the Bish-
ops Bible. which appeared in 1868. and was
designed to counteracs the Calvinistic and
Puritanic tinge OF the Geneva version I:
and (S) the Roman Catholic version. called
the Rhemish and Douay Bible, because
the New Testament appeared at Rheims in
1882, and the Old Testament was published
twenty-seven years later at Douay 1609). Ii
is also called Douay alone, because the
same Roman Catholic divine Of the college
at Douay made this version. What makes
il so difficult to ascertain the precise yer.
sion which Shakespeare used Is the fact
that in nearly all his illusions 10 Bibli-
cal events he gives his own striking para
phrases in his own matchless language, as is
to be seen from the aboye-quoted narrative
about Jacob and Laban, and the prOyerbial
saying about the camel and the eve of the
needle. Even in the dialogue between the
two clowns about Adam bearing arms.
where Shakespeare puts into the mouth OF
the First Clown. as direct quotation
from the Billie, "The Scripture saws
Adam digged," he quotes a passage
which does not occur in the Bible. The
alIusion manifestly is to Genesis H.. IL,
where we are told that Adam was put into.
the garden to dress it or TO work it, as all
the versions then extant render il. Ii will
thus be seen that even i'm this instance,
where the pun rests upon play on the
words, Shakespeare gives his own para
phrase. The .ithenaum.

Oscar wilde on wheels and Things.


Mr.. Oscar Wilde recently expressed him
self freely 10 a Paris correspondent con-
corning the discoveries OF the beautiful
that he made at Chicago He said : " Even

ceramic art are derived from the potter's

grandeur about them. So entered that cas-

A White Apache.
THE ROMANTIC CAREER OF MAN WHO LEFT AN
INDIAN AGENCY AND JOINED THE sAyAGES.
Tombstone Rcpublican.I


Tombstone Republican,
A few days since a Hermosillo dispatch
announced the wounding and capture
OF a white man, supposed to be l.. n.
Streeter, while heading an Apache fOray.
Streeter is about fifty years OF age and was
born in California, his father being captain
OF an English merchantmen trading on the
Pacific coast and bis mother a native Cali
fornian. OF his boyhood or early manhood
very little is known, he first coming into
notice in Arizona by his connection as clerk
with the san Carlos Agency during Gov
ernor Safford's administration in this Terri
tory. While there he had some difficulty
with the officials, caused, it is said, by his
giving aid and comfort TO hostile Apaches.
he left there suddenly and went straight
for the camp Of Juh and Geronimo, which
was then near Janos Pass, on the line be-
tween Sonora and Chihuahua. 1t is stated
that while he was at the agency he beanie
enamored OF squaw belonging to the tribe,
and it was this fact that induced his leay-
ing civilization to cast his fortunes with
the Apachcs. Governor Stafford offered a
large reward for his apprehension. some
stories placing the amount as high as $50, 900.
He was not Appreciated. however, and
has never returned to Arizona.
He is said by those knowing him inti-
mately to be very intelligent and well edu-
Gated, and manuscript now in the hands
OF the writer, written while Streeter was at
Grenados, goes TO prove it. He speaks the
Apache dialect fluently and is said 10 have
great influence with them. His standing
among the sayages, by whom he is known
as Don Cassamiro, may be seen when it is
known that the eldest son Of Chief Geron-
imo Is named for him.

To As Editor of The Dispatch;

To fhe Editor of the Dispatch
I notice from the prints OF the day that
the election In this county IL regarded 10
some excnt ~ q Readluster victory. l
wish 70 state in plain and hofest way, rs
far rs that election came under my observe
ton: Some five or more monthsago spoke
10 several OF the Democratic party as 10 put
| ting into the field Democratic ticket, and
those persons whom interviewed general
Iv acquiesced in that idea. AS time rolled
on never heard anything more OF the mat
ter. Some short time before the election j
understood that the Democratic party
would make no nominations, and voters
might vote as they thought for the best
man, which they did, regardless OF party
ties or aflinities. This county Is Democratic
by not less than 100 votes; for at the cleo
ton last fall there were 145 registered votes
in this the MiIboro' Tor Fourth district
that were not polled. OF these, 1913 voters
adhere to the Democratic faith and %
(mostly colored) voters TO the Readjuster
party. This Is q fact, as | had list last
| fall, and | know and am acquainted win
every man. And so at the last election, or
the oath instant, there were polled l43
votes. The politics Of the present incum-
bents OF the county Offices were Democrats
one and Readjusters four. They were very
attentive In the discharge OF their Official
duties, or at least there was no Formidable
complaint promulgated. A few days pre-
yious 10 the election there was Democratic
imposition to some OF the parties, and on
the day Of the election there was Demo-
cratic opposition TO the sheriff. There was
placard posted near the polls, and good
,}ea, OF bombasf and Funder wind eXpend-
ed, but comparatively to no purpose, for as
this district on State and national affairs is
democratic mt least six TO one, the people
had made up their minds to retain their
efficient county officials, disregarding poll
ties, which think was right under the
circumstances; and / am fully satisfied
that IL the Democratic party had
made nominations they would bave car
ried this county by a very formidable
majority. j think in petty county offices
politics ought to be eschewed, but in State
and national stick to the party. The count
ing Of the votes for the Office OF sheriff,
commissioner OF the revenue, and treasu-
rer found the present incumbents largely in
the ascendency. for only the reason that the
Democratic party made no nomination, and
for another cause portion OF the officers
elected as Readiusters told me themselves
they would vote in State and national af-
fairs the Democratic ticket. Being atfable
gentlemen. efficient in every respect, and
not politicians, is the cause OF their sue
cess. CHARLES SITLINGT0N.

THE TERRIBLE DEATH OF YOUNG MAN
INOCULATED BY SUBTLE POISON.


INOCULATED BY SUBTLE POISON.
The awful death Of young man from a
snake-bite is reported from Meckyille, Pa.
-Four weeks ago Peter Strallse, aged
twenty-onc years, was at work in
the woods. While removing timber
he felt sharp, singing pain in his
left hand, but paid no attention to il at
first. In few days. however. the arm be-
gan swelling. and finally the entire body
became swollen and very much intlamed.
II was then believed that a snake had bitten
him, although the early season did not war
rant such belief. Strause became very i'll
and his body was peculiarly colored.
The poison had a terrible effect on him.
He had been perfectly healthy, yet in Jew
weeks his teeth dropped out, and he be-
came nearly blind. Medicalaid could afford
no relief. His eyes were fixed and Jaws
set he was unable to take any food or
water. owing to the gangrenous condition
OF his throat. and he died in spasms. Ii is
believed that either black spider or a cop
perhead snake bit him.
