A Woman's Idea of Hamlet.

Mary k. Beaston of Philadelphia lec- tured before Sorosis in New York recently on Hamlet" She declared Hamlet to be hero of absolute sanity who carved out with keen intellect and forceful will the path of retributivo justice. Dilatory he was not. From his first speech, II will watch tonight" " through the scenes where he declares, Praised be rashness, " to the very climax he is a preternaturally active hero. The lecturer had little less than contempt for Ophclia ''She was weak, elinging, affectionato creature-a fair weather love. She was not good enough for Hamlet, but it took the siege of adver- sity for him to discover it. She did not rise to him in his affliction. She was unfitted to comprehend him, and his ad vice to her to get to nunnery was prac- tically the kindcst thing he could say or do to nature of her kinda piece of putty sticking where twas flung" Miss Beaston claimed that Queen Gertrude is usually misrcprcsented on the stage. She was a woman of potent attraction, only 50, in tho very heydey of woman's youth. Helen of Troy, says the lecturer did her chief mischief at the age of 46. Miss Beas- ton thought Horatio the most perfect hero drawn by Shakespeare. He was great not only in the greater but the smaller things of life n

SAYS DEBs IF SOLDIERS FIRE UPON THE
 MoBs IN CHICAGO.
 CHICAGO, July 4.-President Debs of the American Railway union is quoted today as saying: "The first shot fired by the regular soldiers at the mobs here will be q signal for civil war. l believe this firmly as l believe in the ultimate suc- cess oi our cause. Bloodshed will follow, and 90 per cent of the people of the United States will be arrayed against the other 10 per cent. I would not care to be arrayed against the laboring people in the contest. l do not say this as an alarmist, but calmly and thoughtfully."
 'sYes l certainly feel the responsibility but natural that should have anxiety as to what may precede the final result which can not but be ip our favor. But we can not recede. A recession on our part would mean the absolute achievement of the American workingman and his complete and utter degradation for all time to come, and would rather be dead than alive to see or experience such a fate. No it is impossi- ble to think of receding.
 ''Yes, 1 do believe there is a chance to bring about a settlement of the trouble be- fore the final struggle is on. think there is a probability that trouble may be averted. It restsi solely with others than us to bring it about, however. One thing is certain, the general manager must and shall succumb.
 IA million of men stand ready to quit work and unite in the struggle for justice 1 do not believe that it will be necessary to call upon them, as am inclined to believe that settlement will be effected within fpv davs'

Frederick W. Bert, William A. Brady's representative, denies most vigorously the report that James J. Corbett's London en- gagemcnt has not turned out well. MT. Bert said: "Theso reports have been spread by men who are MT. Brady's enemies. There is not q word of truth in thcm As for the business done, the receipts are matter of record ill London and can readi- ly be confirmed. Paris paid Mir. Brady a big certainty. while Glasgow and Edin- burgh wcre phenomenal. In fact, the ven ture so far has exceeded the most sangulne expectations of both Messrs. Corbett and Brady, and tho tempting offers from Der lin, Vienna, Brussels, Antwerp, St. Pc tcrsburg, etc, would amply justify ME Corbett in remaining abroad the entire season did his American engagements per mit nf it "

raral OH the Secret of Hiding.

"Thc great secret of riding" says Fred Taral, lis to maintain rhythmic move ment with that of your horse. In other words, keep perfect time. That lesscns the weight greatly upon him. At tho finish especially tho jockey should be away for ward on his horse-on top of his head, so to speak, so as to minimize his weight on tho horse 1t must Dc remembered that horso's head and shoulders arc his strong est parts and tho center of his back the weakest. Consequently when jockey is away over his horse his weight is the light est, and he Is helping his nag tho most. A perfect symphony of movement, however must be observed, or else the jockey 8 weight at tho cruca! crisis will bear down like ton on tho poor raccr."
