Mrs. Allen is a strong advocate of we'll

she made that a speciality, inasmuch as
there are teachers of physical culture in
most of the larger towns.
physical culture is usually taught as a
method of muscular development, and
therefore especially suited to, the young.
The fact that physical culture NAV be en-
ployed as remedial agent in the cure of
various forms of disease is fact which
teachers themselves do not usually recop-
niZe. The primary Importance of phvs-
lcal culture is not for developing muscle.
nor for the accomplishment of feats of
strength, but for increasing nutritlve
supply, and unless it accomplishes this
end it fails Of its desired result.
Rightly employed, physical culture
is adapted to all ages and conditions. By

SHAKESPRAREAN FIND.
a Mulberry Tree shakespeare Planted
in New Place Garden.


A gentleman visiting at Stratford-on-
Avon, T.. b. Watts, a railroad manager,
has just had the good fortune to meet with
and acquire, in one of the neighboring
towns to Stratford, a slab of wood cut
from the veritable mulberry tree Shake
speare himself planted in New Place
Garden, where he resided and died. This
mulberry tree was cut down ruthlesSly
by Rev. Francis GaStrell in l756 and so
irritated were the towniolk of that time
that some OF them smashed the reverend
gentleman's windows. This slab of mul-
berry wood has been traced back, beyond
all doubt, to the possession of a Miss Da-
venport, the only daughter of the Vicar
of Strattord-on-Avon in 1857, a period
when the cutting down of the tree would
be fresh III the memories of persons then
living. In J. o. Halliwell- Phillips "Out-
lines Of the Life Of Shakespeare" page

Shipton-on-Stour, near Stratford. At his
death it passed to his sister, Miss Bannis-
ter, who lately died, and at the sale of her
effects III 1889 ut Shipton- -on-Stour, a resi-
dent there purchased the slab, from whom
it has been acquired by Mr.. Watts. The
slab measures ten and half inches in di-
ameter lengthways, and eight inches di-
ameter crossways. 1t is tive inches in
thick ness, and ways fourteen and half
pounds, rather surprising weight for
the dimensions of the slab, but the wood
is very dense-the bark has been re-
moved, and the slab is free from cracks
and quite solid. Either to be cut up into
veneer sections, polished and framed. or
TO lie cut up for mounts, 10 be set in Jew
elrv, it would be worth its weight in gold
Taking the weight at l+l pounds, or ia

might be appraised as worth, say, 3,400.
This interesting relic of shakespeare has

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-An important
conference was held at the Mechanics In
stltute this evening between representa-
tlVes of the California Worlds Fair om-
missioners, the Mechanics Institute and
| several county Worlds Fair Commiss on
ers.
Those present were: James d. Phelan,
Robert Murray, A. t. Hatch and Secre-
tary Thompson of the State Commission;
Directors Stump, Mansen, Dow, Firth
and Dorm of the Mechanics Institute; II.
B. Hall, d. Lubin, w. w. Greer and
Frank Miller of the Sacramento County
Worlds Fair Association; S. B. Adams
OF Eolo, G. f. Wyer of Solano and ]. d.
Hoffman of San Joaquin.
The meeting was held for the purpose
OF hearing protests on the part of the in
terror counties represented against hold
ing dress rehearsal of California prod
ucts at the Mechanics Pavilion, in this
city, commencing August 3Oth next.
The meeting was not open to the pub
lie. 1t resulted in an agreement by the
State Worlds Fair Commission and Di
rectors OF the Mechanics Institute to
postpone the dress rehearsal over four
months. Instead of commencing on
August Both, it will commence on the
second Tuesday in January, 1898, and
close on the last Saturday in February.
Representatives from the interior ex-
pressed themselves as entirely satisfied
with this arrangement.
This exhibition will take the place of
the regular Mechanics Fair in this city,
which is usually held early in the autumn.
The dress rehearsal, as it is now agreed
upon, is to be held under the same con-
ditiOns as were to prevail for the exhibi-
| ton proposed for August. The Mechan-
ics' Institute will bear the cost of trans
portation of all articles from the interior
to this city, and the State Worlds Fair
Commission will pay the cost Of trans
portation to Chicago of such articles as
may be selected to be sent there after
wards.
| The Mechanics Institute will also per-
NIT exhibitors at the State Fair in Sacra-
mento to ship their exhibits to the pa
vilion here for storage at the close of the
State Fair.
Among the reasons considered for the
postponement of the dress rehearsal was
the fact that it will be possible during the
winter season to have fire exhibit of
citrus fruits.

Total Eelipses of the sun.

Every year there must be two eclipses
of the sun, and there may be five. These
are partial eclipses, however, except in
tae comparatively rare case in which the
moon passes nearly centrally over the
SUMS disc and produces total obscura-
ton OF his light. Since the invention of
the spectroscope, in 1860, there have been
barely score of total eclipses, and
number of these could not be observed
because the belt of totality fell at the
earth's polar regions or upon the oceans.
The belt of totality is narrow strip
never more than 10 miles wide-where
the point of the moons shadow falls
upon the earth Total eclipses rarely re-
cur. therefore, at the same point of the
earth. At London, for example, there
has been no total eclipse since the year
1I4O, except that of l7I5, and there will be
none during the next century. Professor

SANTA Rosa, May 5. - George w.
Bruggy, the condemned murderer, who
escaped from jail Sunday night with a
man named "Frenchy," was captured
this afternoon in a canyon on Keys
ranch, near Windsor, by County Auditor
Hall and eX-Deputy Sheriff Groshong.
The whereabouts of the escapes was first
discovered by man named Leslie.
While driving to town this morning, he
saw a column of smoke rising out of the
canyon, and approached near enough to
recognize Bruggy's voice. He then drove
Immediately TO town and told his friend
Mr.. Pool, who is Halls deputy. When
Hall learned of the near presence of
Bruggy he determined to capture the lat
ter. Accordingly, he and Groshong
started out at noon. When they came
upon the escapes in the canyon Hall and
Groshong got the drop on them, and
Bruggy and 'Frenchy" gave up peace
ably. Bruggy laughed about his capture.
He said the reason he did not go farther
was because his feet were tender, and be-
came sore. He had made no attempt at
disguise.

THE SECRET BALLOT.
The First Presidential Election Under
Ballot Reform.

The fact that all the so-called doubt
fuP' States, whose vote is decisive in the
election, are to cast their ballots in abso-
Lutte secrecy, free from all espionage and
intimidation, is one of momentous i'm
portance. The first and inevitable effect
will be to lessen enormously the part
which money will play in the contest.
Every State in which money has hereto
fore been used most freely has adopted
the new system. If votes be bought in
those States hereafter, the purchasers can
not follow the men whom they have
bought to the polls to see if they keep
their bad bargain. The result will be the
same i'll those States as it has been every
where else under similar conditions,
namely, very few votes will be bought.
This is move! phase of Presidential
canvass and election which both political
parties will do well to take into consider
alton in selecting their campaign mana
gers for this year. If money is no longer
to be the controlling factor in the cleo
ton, will it be either expedient or wise
TO put professional corruptionist in
charge OF the campaign of either party?
On the contrary, will it not be the highest
political wisdom to put men of character
IN charge of all the committees, national,
State, district and others?-Century

Rev. Van Dyke Sewers His Connection
With Princeton Seminary.
PRIN CEToN N. J.l. May 5.-Rev. Paul
Van Dyke has severed his connection
with Princeton Theological Seminary, a
Presbyterian institution, because of the
demand for an ayowal on his part that he
will accept the standards of the church in
the sense which has always been put
upon them at Princeton, and conform his
teachings to this Interpretation and never
depart from it. This ayowal he is unwill-
ing TO make. The regular constitutional
vows OF a professor, promising loyalty TO
the standards, he could take with hearth
ness, but this extra pledge of strict ad-
herence to the traditional interpretation
seemed 10 him unnecessary and an inn
proper imposition.
The case is regarded as significant, be-
cause il proves, at least in Princeton, an
effort viii be made to insist upon the
maintenance Of the doctrine of foreordina-
ton 10 everlasting death as essential to
orthodoxy.
