William l, Emperor Of Germany, died
at Berlin on the 9th instant, aged nearly
81 years, retaining his strength of mind
and body until within a short time Of
his death. He was one of the most pow
erful monarchs the world has known, and
though his empire was in large part won
by arms and his throne sustained by vast
military force, his people loved him for
his kind hearted efforts to ameloriate
their condition in peace 80 much as they
admired him for his proves in war. The
emperor, whose German name was Fried
rich Ludwig Wilhelm, King of Prussia,
and since 1871. emperor of Germany,
was the second son of Frederick William
III, and was born in 1897. He Joined
the army at an early age and was engaged
in the campaigns of lsl3-l4 against Ma
poleon l. On the accession of his elder
brother Frederick William " to the
throne in 1910 he became Governor of
Pomerania, and afterwards sat in the
Prussian Diet and vigorously supported
the absolutlst party. In consequence of
this attitude he was SO much disliked by
the people that on the outbreak of the re-
volution of ls43 he had to flee to Eng
land, though on his return some months
afterwards he was elected to the National
Assembly. In 1857 the King having be-
come incapacitated for business William
was commissioned to act as regent, and in
1851 he assembled the throne In 1857
he became the head Of the North Ger
man Confederation. At Ems, in July,
1870, he held the memorable interviews
with Benedict, the French embassa dor.
which resulted in the war of 1901.
He accompanied the army and command
ed at the decisive battles of Gravelotte
and Sedan. In 1871 he was procla lined
Emperor of Germany in the palace Of the
French Kings at Versailles. He was
married in 1929 to Maria Louisa of Sake
Weimar, to whom was born Friedrich
Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Prussia, who
married Victoria, the Princess Royal of
England. He is hopelessly diseased with
cancer of the throat, and succeeds to a
throne he cannot long occupy with the
title of Friedrich III. He retains Prince
Bismarck, the "Iron Chancellor" to
whom so much of the glory of his late
master is supposed to be due.

A Theory ~ TO ehakespeare's

Mr.. Ignaiius Donnelly expects TO sail for Eu
rope March II, At which time he will have COM
pleted the last chapter Of hrs book, THE Great
Cryptogram." showing that Shakespeare plays
were written by Bacon. The book will be given
to the public about May !, both in this country
public to take much stock in bis CIPHER, but if
il il will buy his books he will probably mani
fest a very forgiving spirit--Saoannah Ne,os.
The theory of learned gentleman of
Tallahassee does not accord the author
ship of the Shakespeare plays to any one
individual His idea is that they were
in part written by aristocratlc men of
leisure, by noblemen, the titled wits
and litterateurs of the lubs, the principal
supporters of the drama in those days,
numbers of whom would write portions
of them and read and discuss them at their
frequent convivial and literary meetings.
Shakespeare, player as well ss playwright,
would write portions, complete, adapt
and produce them at his theatre, and they
would bear his name as Shakespeare
plays" The intrinsic evidence that noble
men and aristocrats had much to do with
them is found in the absence of "demo-
cratic " sentiment throughout, and the
principal characters are noble if not
royal The movement of the plays is
among the supper class" Of mankind,
and cha racters not Of the titled order are
usually brought in as knavish, stupid or
grovelling creatures. Further intrinsic
evidence to sustain this theory may be
found, we think, in the plays located in
foreign countries. These show q famili-
srity with alien habits, customs and SEN
timent which Shakespeare could hardly
have imbibed unless he had visited these
countries and sojourned in them, not to
mention that resources from books of
travel were but meagre in those days.
We are not aware that there is any re.
cord of Shakespeare having sojourned in
the countries where some of his plays are
laid, but the noble and wealthy of Eng.
land were travellers and sojourners in
continental Europe-almost to q man,
after the completion of course of
education at home. Among these may
have been the collaborators of Shakes.
peare in constructing the plays which
bear his name.

enough put <sgether 70 outaamber the
straight Democrats; the other is the as
sumption that the Knights of Labor
would act with the Republicans. Long
before election day comes the Knights
of Labor Of Florida and all other States
will doubtless realize that it is their duty
to vote against, not with, the party whose
policy made it necessary for them to or
ganise in self defence. The republican
tariff which fostered monopolies enabled
capital to exercise the tyranny which
forced labor into practical and systematic
autagonism, and it is not likely that the
labor vote will be cast in favor of the
perpetuation of the policy that caused the
oppression against which it rebelled.
The only way in which the Republicans
can carry Florida is through the Demo
Gratis giving the State away by neglect,
and they are no more likely to commit
political suicide in that way than by vot-
ing with the Republicans, be such voters
Knights of Labor or members of any
other organization for the benefit of work
ing men-whether in mechanical, manu-
featuring or agricultural industries.

At the Florida Chautauouo.

me that it would be paying Investment should
