THE DEATH or HAMLET.

{. He sleeps at last, and all the grief
That shook his soul In manhood prime
KS waited like some faded leaf
: Across the horizon of time.
sEow shall we fifty say farewell
To him whose voice in other days
rEnriilod human hearts as by a spell
And won tho incense of their praiser
LIKE some ungentle blast that shakes
The fairest blossom from the tree
Us this grim mystery that takes
Life's perfume and lifo's fiow'r from thee.
And can those lips indeed be dumb
from which such golden words did fall.
--AIad is that princely figure numb
THat yields tho purple to tho pall2
Alas, It's sol Tho prince is dead
Who showed US Denmark's woes anew.
S1sY sweetest rest attend his bed
And peace the gentle heart and truel
Tue lights are out, the play is DER,
His voice is hushed. in very truth.
His presence ne'or shall thrill us moro,
And Hamlet dies in Edwin Boothl

If incomes are to be taxed, let them
all-each for itself-contribute n fair
share and part of the general amount.
Under no other condition can tax on
incomes be justified 1t is the first law
of all equitable taxation that it shall be
without discrimination; that it shall he
uniform.
An income tax levied only upon IL sin
gle class, and that class largely distin-
guished for its achievements in building
mp the wealth, power and dignity of the
nation and especially for providing in
comes to the millions TO whom it gives
employment. is Il tax which only the
most forbidding spirit of socialism can
defend i'll IL country like this, the govern
mcnt of which is of all the people, by all
the people and for all the people
Glass Legislation is native to the mon
archical, not the democratic form of
government. Glass distinctions of any
kind are not wanted here, and there can
be none which is more out of sorts with
American institutions than an income
tax imposed solely upon those who
achieved wealth by honorable, useful eff
forts, all which are of advantage to the
country. -Philadelphia Ledger.

Interest, save for those Immediately concerned
in the debuts. lay In the representation OF
Blanchard Jerrold's Beau Brummell." a play
written and acted in London thirty-four years
ago. The use by Richard Mansfield OF a piece
on the same subject gave rise to the question
whether the old work had been taken az the
basis for the new one. and also to q quarrel
between Mr.. Mansfield and Clyde Fitch as to
tho relative contribution OF the actor and the
dramstist to the later version. 1t has been
settled that William Winter frat suR-
gested to Mr.. Mansfield. in whom he had
taken an apprecative interest. the idea Of
comedy with the historic English dandy as the
principal character Mr.. Winter kindly indi-
Gated general scheme for the proposed play.

terial could be obtained. Mr. Fitch was en-
gagged to make the imposition. After the row
broke out. Mr.. Mansfield declared that he was
responsible for nearly ali the characterization
