where Shakespeare wooed.

The sale of Anne Hathaway's cottage
to the trustees of Shakespeare's birth
place for the sum of $15, 900 has aroused
very animated discussion in England,
many persons stoutly claiming that the
price was extortionate, while others
with equal vehemence assert that the
money has been well invested. One of
the latter class is writer who, in the
course of long argument in support of
his view of the matter, says:
The quaint old building of wood and plaster,
with the thatohed roof, heavy cross barred
timbers and beetling caves, with their four
tiny easements beneath, is of course worth
little enough; but when one remembers that it
was here that the STRIPPING of eighteen wooed
his wife, and that the greatest English genius
of all time found rest and welcome in the
homeiy parlor, with its wide hearth and coy
inglenook, and that therefore the little cottage
at Shottery is unique in all the world, the
question Of price is swallowed up in the feeling
Of satisfaction that it has fallen into reverent
hands. It was in 1882 that Shakespeare mar
ried the sweetheart eight years older than
himself, and four years later when he came to
London to make fight for fortunes and as it
was not until 1897 that he had prospered sufi-
GENTLY to buy New Place, Anne Hathaway's
cottage was intimately associated with our
greatest poet for at least sixteen years or SO Of
his life. 1t is pleasant to think that it has
come into the hands of the trustees of Shake
speare's birthplace instead of into those of
some professional Snowman on this or the
other side Of the Atlantic, who might have re-
erected it as side show for a dime museum,
or turned it to account in conjunction with a
switohback railway and military band, butch
ering its unique associations to make cock.

The Title to an Earldom.

An interesting and complicated case,
involving nothing less than the legal
succession to the earldom of Stamford
was recently decided by the British
house of lords, before whom the matter
had been for some time. The decision
was in favor of the present holder of
the title, who is the ninth earl of SIAM
ford. The eighth earl, who died in
June, 1890, left son, whose mother
was a negress of Cape Colony. The
earl married the negress, but this son
was born prior to the marriage. The
house Of lords decision declares that
this son is Legitimate, and therefore
has no claim ON the title. The son
made no contest to establish his legit-
imacy. The earldom of Stamford is
among the Oldest peerages in England,
having been created in 1928. The earl
also has the title of Baron Grey of
Groby, which title was created in 1908.
The present earl is William Grey,
brother of the eighth earl. He was
born April IS, 1850, and from 1878 to
1883 was professor of classics at Cod
rington college, Barbados. He is un-
married.

seven years. AS simple as the electric
telegraph is now considered it took twice
as long after its conception to bring it
into practical use. The path of Angus
Campbell is strewn with roses as COM
pared to that of Morse, which was strewn
with thorns. The first sketch of the tele-
graph was made in 1899. Five years
later Morse was giving exhibitions of its
work through wires strung around aroom;
year later he was advertising it by send
ing messages through coils of wire aggre-
eating three miles-no capital could be
enlisted. Applications to Congress failed.
When hope was almost dead Congress
appropriated 100000, March 3, I843. In
writing of it later, Professor Morse said:
"My personal funds were reduced to the
fraction of dollar, and had the passage of
the bill failed from any cause, there would
have been little prospect of another at
tempt" A year later, $4,000 of the
$4,000 had been expended, practically
without results, and not until May "a,
1874, was the historic message, "What
Has God Wrought" sent. Campbell
used only one-haf the time to bring out
the Cotton Picker that Morse used to de-
velop the telegraph, and only one-fourth
the time Mccormick used on the reaper.
And the procuring Of funds to place them
upon the market is also proceeding with
phenomenal speed. Stock is rapidly be-
ing sold at 81 Milk ST., where fullsize
machine can be seen. Call and examine
