SHAKESPEARE AND VIRGINIA.
The Colonists at Jamestown Were tn
 Poets Contemporaries.

She Colonists at Jamestown Were the
 Poets Contemporaries.
 The first permanent English settlement in America was at Jamestown, Va, in 1907. William Shakespeare diea nine years later, in 1916. In August, 1920, negro slaves were first introduced into Virginia From 1907 on the colonization of Virginia from England proceeded steadily, and briskly, too, for that age, 1t being espe- cially noteworthy that this colonization fairly represented all England and was not restricted to any class or sect. Moreover the England of that day was Shakespeare's England--the England from which he drew his characters, manners, speech, proverbs, and particularly all those traits and touch es that give definite date and locality to his works.
 They were ShakespeareS contemporaries who came over with Captain John Smith and his successors-the very men and wo- men whom he knew and drew so well, some of them also knowing him, not only as dramatist and actor, but also person. ally. There is tradition, not fully veri- fled nor yet wholly discredited, that among these early colonists was one of the execu- tors of Shakespeare's will, who lived and died at Fredericksburg, it being commonly understood and accepted that, until the late war, fragments of tho tombstone of this executor could still be seen in an old cemetery of that town.
 From 1920 the African settlement of the colony and its English settlement proceed ed together, pafi passu. The negro colo nists, of course, as slaves and barbarians, were put at the lowest and coarsest labor, and there, working side by side with Eng fish Hodge, from him they learned such English and English folklore as they &C., quired. Later Hodge and the negro sep arated and 1t was not long before the lat ter was practically segregated, Hodge pro- gressing more or less, with some excep- tions, while Sainbo, black and Q slave, was rapidly hedged about by strict laws and customs that set him apart and kept him stationary To educate him was crime, but illiterate and barbarous as he was the first civilization and education he received were English, fresh from the soil of Shakc- speare's England, and to this day he legi- ply retains Shakespeare's mark as origi- nally impressed upon him.
 Of course even in slavery there were freedmen, house and town servants and few other negroes from whom this impress was partially removed by their opportuhi- ties and associations, and many more have lost it since emancipation and the free school have come, but the mass of rural negroes, with some whites who have been subjected to very similar conditions, still remind one of the great dranlatist by their doings and sayings their proverbs, omens, signs and peculiarities of speech. Thcv sometimes exhibit an apparent familiarity with Shakespeare in their words and phrases, but they do not know him at all never heard of him.-Lippinoott's-

Southwestern Rates by the Action of the

"
 Texas and Pacific.
 Chicago, July 11.-AS result of the re- cent action of the Texas and Pacific in putting what is practically one-fare rate for the round trip to New York, there is a chance that Texas rates may become demoralized. Already the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas has given mo- tice that in order to meet this rate it will put in a $15 rate to St. Louis. Chair man Caldwell of the Western Lines Pas senger association has sent out to all the lines in his jurisdiction copies of let ters received from the Chicago Great Western and the Minneapolis and St. Louis railroads, offering evidence that they were not responsible, as has been stated in some quarters, for the exten- sion of tickets to the Christian Endeavor convention at Boston, Copies were also sent to the Soo line, which Is virtually in- terested in the controversy. It is not true, as printed in some of the reports on the difficulties, that Chairman Caldwell has fixed the responsibility for the pres ent entaglement on the Soo line.
 Western traffic managers and the heads of traffic associations are not wor- rying much about the notices which have been served on them by the inter- state commerce commission that they must not form any pooling combinations whatever, sealed with a money forfeit clause or not The notice is merely a reaSsertion of the law on the subject and as most pools are made in violation of this law the situation is neither bet ter nor worse than before.

MIR. EusTIs AND HIS TRADUCER.

MT. James B. Eustis, our present ann bassador to France, has promptly and in- dignantly denied the substance of the alleged interview sent out by the French press. This denial is forcible and em- phatic, but dignified withal; having done this much he must be silent. But out of the whole thing arises a question. Should France allow this utter disregard of truth which the Figaro and other units or the Boulevard press exploit upon the world as free speaking to touch international affairs? These papers print what they please, of whom they please, seeming to care nothing for the truth or falsity Of their statements. The position of an am- bassador is one which requires the ut- most delicacy and discretion. The sllght- est utterance of g. man in this position is apt to be construed as the official Volca of his government, and he must Welgh ms words accordingly.
 The press of our national capital gen orally respects this difficulty, and shows to the diplomatic corps consideration it would be well for the Boulevard press to take as a model. Lord Dufferln mas already said life is almost unbearable to an English ambassador in Paris; the Italian and Spanish ministers have been recalled from the gay city for the same reason. Will it remain for Miss Column bia to complete the lesson?
 It is hardly possible that MT. Eustis could have given utterance to the senti- ments attributed to him. He is man Of strong common sense-not the least or the attributes of statesman-besides being too well versed in the science or dl- plomacy to talk for the pleasure or hs- tening to himself man of his per sonal attachments, who has seen ms service in public life, hardly needs the denial to clear his skirts of the charge. That the Figaro was merely talking IS evident

p1e of Greenville. Monday morning bright and early he wrote letter to the State resigning his post as correspondent, and asking to be released from all con nection with a paper whose news items were prepared in it's editorial rooms. He received the following reply;
 Birmingham, Ala, July 2 1895. T. L. Andrews, Esq. Greenville, Ala
 Dear Sir: Replying to yours, will say that if there are any sentiments In the article from Greenville Sunday to which you object it is timely that you con clude to resign as correspondent for the State Your resignation is hereby ac- cepted. Respectfully,
 MT. Andrews is pleased that his con nection with the State is at an end, for, as he says, he felt during the whole or his connection with the paper that ne was decidedly in the wrong pew.
 Just as from small chinks in door, the light from behind 1t will show through, so by just such items as the above is the truth made manifest. We are not to suppose that GreenYille IS the only place from which news is garpled and sentiment distorted. and the whole thing is so in accordance with the tao tics of the "silverloons for revenue only" that it furnishes the keynote to the reason of their dying chords. From all accounts, the principal plank in some platforms is the free, independent and unlimited coinage of truth into any form of misrepresentation which will serve the purpose of the powers that be.
 But maybe the S-months-old young ster is moulting while yet in the throes of learning to crow. With its phenom- enal circulation, abnormal bank account, it's adjustable editor and its scissors bu- reau. it may some day learn to crow without cackling-that is if it does not explode from too great pressure of air from within.
