Edmund Kean.

On the 26th of January, 1914, an OBJ
scure country actor, named Kean, who
had been engaged in sheer desperation,
a very model of strolling player, shah
BY, almost shoeless, whom the mediocre
ties treated at rehearsal with uncon-
cealed contempt, appeared at Drury
Lane as Snylock to an indifferent and
and half-filled house; but when the cur
tain fell upon the fourth act it was upon
such q wild burst of enthusiasm as had
not been heard since the night Siddons
played Isabella for the first time before a
London audience. The next day all
London was ringing with the fame of the
new actor. Richard was his next i'm
personation. Just returned from seeing
Kean in Richard" wrote Byron in his
diary. "By Jove, he 10 a soul! Life,
nature, truth, without eXaggeration or
diminution." Coleridge said it was read
ing Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.
The receipts rose from G100 to e6O0
nightly. After his third appearance,
Whitbread raised his salary frsm GS to
G20. One week the committee presented
him with el00, the next with e500. while
splendid presents flowed in upon him
from all sides; society fawned upon him,
fiattered him, courted him. During six
years he sustained the fortunes of Drury
Lane upon his own shoulders; rivals
rose up, fine actors, but all paled before
the splsndOr Of his overwhelming genus.

The Sham and the Real.

Every goou thing has its host of imi-
tat0rs; every genuine article has counter
feits. Bad manners and wicked habits
have theirs also; but he who shams the
bad never boasts OF it, while they who
ape the virtues of the good or simulate
the genuine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their
most alluriRg tones. When these people
initiate they always choose pronounced
type or popular subject to copy from;
and when they claim to be as good as
"So-and-so," or 10 sell an article equal to
"So-and-so," the public may depend
upon it that Mr.. "So-and-so" and his
article are always the best of the kind.
Thus the sham is always proving the
genuine merit of the thing it copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen pro-
duce and populariZe an article of house.
hold use, such as the Royal Baking Pow
der, whose convenience, usefulness, and
real merit make for itself an immense
and universal sale. A hundred imitators
arise on every hand, and as they hold
out their sham articles to the public,
yelp in chorus, buy this; it's just as good
as Royal, and much cheaperm The
Royal Baking Powder is the standard
the world over, and its imitators in their
cry that theirs is "as good as Royal"
are all the time emphasizing this fact.
In their laborious attempts to show by
analysis and otherwise that the "Snow-
baIl' brand has as much raising power
"as the Royal" or that the 'Resurreo
ton" powder is as wholesome las
Roval;" or that the Earthquake" brand
is las pure ss the Royal" as well as by
their cont0rtiye twlstings of chemical
certificates and labored efforts to obtain
recognition from the Government
chemists and prominent scientists who
have certified the superiority of Royal
over all others, they all admit the
Royal" to be the acme Of perfection,
which it is their highest ambition to
initiate. But the difference between the
real and these limitations, which copy
only its general appearance, is as wide
as that between the paste and the true
diamond. The shams all pay homage to
the Royal"

that those commandments are, Thou

Chinese Telegraphy.

1 don't believe the telegraph is a very
useful institution, except to make money
for merchants and people, and save
little time that is mostly wasted in sit
ting in an office with your feet on an
elegant mahogany desk, or leaning over
the bar Of saloon. / remember the
first introduction of the telegraph to
China, many years ago. For long
time every means, from moral suasion to
bribery and corruption, was used at
Picking to obtain permission to bring the
telegraph to Shanghai. No power
could possibly induce the Chinese au-
thorities to consent. The Great North
ern Telegraph Company had cable to
Hong Kong. They did not say anything.
They quietly laid cable to the mouth Of

The LATEST Man on Record.

with more lassitude than it would take
to stop a saw mill. His name was
Joseph Spot, and he was so confounded
lazy that when he signed it he would
write a lower case, labor-saving j, and
then drop his pen on the paper to make
the spot. On one occasion he was in a
hotel that burned down. He slept on
tue first floor because he was too lazy to
go up stairs, and when the alarm was
sounded he got into the elevator and
dropped out of a window because he
was 100 lazy to walk out OF his room
below, through hallway 80 feet long.
He was hurt pretty badly, but he was
too lazy to suffer, and died because the
doctor told him it would require great
effort to induce him to recover.

A MAN WITH MANY PAPERS.
Chicago Police stumble Upon a Bushel
OF Securities.

CHICAGO, May 20.
The detectives of the central station have
made capture which they think will prove
quite an important one. The prisoner is a
slight, good looking, intelligent fellow
about 32 years of age. His name is julius
Franeel, and he is native of Posen, Prussia.
He has been in this country number of
years. He is charged with forgery by
Gus Anderson, a saloon keeper. The amount
of the check is $3.50. When presented at the
bank, the cashier pronounced it forgery.
Anderson reported the matter to the police,
who arrested the accused man. When his
office was searched bushel basket full of
deeds, checks, stock-shares and newspapers
clippings were found. In all, the papers and
documents show face value of half million
dollars. A number of the Revenge" circu-
lars distributed by the Socialists, were also
discovered. The young man claims that
these pap~rs are valuable and that he came
bv them rightfully. This he is willing to
prove. He is dealer in such papers and has
BEEN for wears, and is worth Sl2, 900 at least.
He has property, he says, on which he could
realize this amount. His family, according
to his account, live in st. Louis. The police
think he is a clever forger.

KILLED HIS CHILD.
An Unhappy Father Kills His Little Boy
and Then Attempts to Take His Own
Life.


GREENFIELD, Mass, Nav 20.
A terrible tragedy occurred in Deerield,
Wednesday night and early Thursday morn
ing, by which the towns of Deerield and
Greenfield are greatly excited. Eugene Tav.
lor, young farmer, murdered his two-vear-
old son "Wednesday night by feeding it candy
sprinkled with strychnne. from the effects OF
which the baby died in two hours in terrible
sgouy. Having killed the child, TAYLOR then
took an overdose of strychnine himself, but
failing to take his own life with the poison,
arose from bed Thursday, during the tempo
rary absence of his attendant and with a
pocket knife stabbed himself in the neck.
cutting his throat badly but not fatally. Tay
Tor gave as reason for his act. that he was
tired OF this world and wanted TO leave it,
taking his baby with him. His wife, bright.
intelligent, hard working woman saws she
was married 10 Tsvlor the 9TH of September,
1882, at Moores, \. Y, where her brothers
are in the mercantile business. Ever since
this marriage she saws Taylor has been de
spondent. He told her he had lost thous-
and dollars by some unwise speculation and
wanted her 20 get her brothers to lend him
money. Soon after their marriage at her
solicitation. they advanced him a thousand
dollars, and have let him have money at va
rious times since, and she has worked hard
as ei'SS "ahtf IA DttTHeiu TO pay TINS
money back. Instead of improving she says
her husband has of late become more de
spondent The little boy came to his mother
about 7.30 and showed her some candy his
father had given him. 1t was somewhat
unusual thing for the child's father TO do, but
the mother took no notice of it. Suddenly
the child was taken with convulsions and
Mrs. Taylor called her husband and doctor.
Meanwhile, Taylor had taken large dose of
the poison and soon was suffering convulsive
agones.
The child died at Q p. M. lin terrible agony,
while Taylor pulled through and this morning
made second unsuccessful attempt at self
murder. He was arrested this morning at .
o'clock, in his bed. He took his arrest
calmly and expressed himself as sorry he had
not succeed in taking his own life. He was
removed to Jail and will be arraigned this
afternoon.
Medical Examiner Coy this afternoon held
an inquest on the body Of the child of Geo.
Taylor, poisoned by its father last night at
Deerfeld. Quite quantity of strychnine
was found in the child's stomach and the
medical examiner will render a verdict that
the child came to its death from strychnine
poison, administered by his father Eugene
Taylor.

ADRlFT AT SEA.
A Miraculous Escape of a Woman Who
Was Found Alone in Boat.

ST. JOINS, N. F., May 20
A French vessel landed at ST. Gerges Bay,
Wednesday, from St. Malo. She brought a
lady, Miss Louise Journeaux, whom she
picked up in an open boat twenty miles off
the coast Of the Island of Jersey. This lady
went boating with gentleman named Fame,
the evening of April 18th, bu. both oars of
their boat went adrift and the gentleman
jumped overheard to secure them. A stron G
current carried the boat out of his reach and
he was forced to swim ashore or drown. Miss
Journeaux, alone in the little boat, dritted
rsAidly away to sea. The boat almost filled
w1h water and the lady for nearly forty
hours lived in solitary and excruciatng
agony. At length she was fortunately res
cued by the French vessel. on board of which
she received great kindness from the captain
violent off-shore wind prevented the French
man from reaching Jersey, and the lady was
carried across the Atlantic and landed on the
shores of New Foundland. Fame reached ST.
Hilare's harbor safely but his story was dis
believed. People from the shore affirmed
they heard cries of murder from the sea.
Fame was arrested and indicted for homicide.
His Liberation is of course now certain. Miss
Journeaux cable1 yesterday her miraculous
escape.

A WILD ANARCHIST.
"A NAN Captured in Chicago While Try.
ing to Get up Demonstration.

CHICAGO, May 20.
John A. Henry, who il employed on a
morning paper as a compostor. and whose
incendiary utterances since the arrest of
Spies. and other anarchists, have given him
an unsavory reputation. was arrested We'd
nesday, while engaged in distributing a call
tor demonstration, which, it was intended,
should take place on the lake front on Sun
day afternoon next. The call declared priv
ate capital deprivation of the people, de-
nounced the police courts and the press for
pursuing anarchists, and concluded with the
assertion, "Anarchy is not violence. 1t is
only promise of peace" Henry was some
what expensively attired in dark suit and
silk hat, and his hands were encased in
dressed kid gloves. When take to the cen.
tral station, he was very demonstrative, and
endeavored to convince Lieut.. Shea that the
Havmarket attack on the police was justifa-
BILE. 'There will be more bombs thrown," :"
he coolly exclaimed. "This thing is not
ended by any means. The present laws are
damnable." An examination of Henry dis
closed the fact that he not only believed in
anarchy, but also advocates free love in its
most repulsve and unnatural forms. He
was consigned to cell, and the proposed
demonstration if attempted will be promptly
suppressed.
