KIN OF SHAKESPEARE
William James Dalton Is His
Nearest Relative.
A GAP In THE GENEAL0GY.
Thomas Fart of Sydney Is But a
Collateral Descendant.
TALE OF A PARISH REGISTER,


While the English tongue ia spoken
the name OF william Shakespeare Will
live, although the great poet and dram
atist left no direct descendants. This
has not prevented some people from
claiming kinshlp with the immortal
bard OF Avon.
Probably the nearest relative TO
Shakespeare now living is William
james Dalton patent agent, High
street. Auckland, New Zealand. son of
j. II, Dalton, II tailor who became
famous In the colonies for giving away
an extra pair Of trousers with each
reudy-made suit,
Heretofore Thomas Hurt. OF Sydney,
Australia. claimed to be the nearest
descendant OF the great dramatist, lie
Ia said to be the eighth IN descent from
Shakespeare sister Joan. Recently
the newspapers and periodicals OF the
land Of the Southern Cross took up the
question, The two candidates or claim
ants produced their credentials In the
form OF more or less authenticated doc
umputs that We're certainly ancient

From the pros and cons Of the ar
Eumout 70 would appear than at best
Mr. Hart is but a C1lltcrJl descend
ant, while even the most jealous Of Mr.,
Dll'on's pIrtiaIus must admit that
there i4 "a considerable gap In the pat-
gnt agent genealogical record, If not

minutes waste" and she had kept him
waiting, a woman's privilege even then,
she hastened to his side. and they
walked and talked in the cleaning, oh
so long ago What a charming lpver
he must have been to have written
such sweet praises:

eyes

The age to come would say that poet

Such heavenly touches ne'er touched
earthly faces"
Some beautiful linen work, spun md
woven by Anne's own hand and nm
ished with dainty open-worked edges,
is shown us, together with the bridal
bed still standing in one of the upper
chambers Can you think OF her
spinning and singing to the rhythm OF
the great wheel as she stepped lightly
to and fro. or sitting patiently at the
old old loom, weaving thread by
thread the dainty linen, little dream
ing what the web and wool of her life
were to be?
Let us carry away with us this pic
ture of Anne Hathaway--a picture of
her at her best, in her little cottage
where she must have been so happy,
with all the picturesqueness and ro-
nance of her youthful days about her
As we leave the cottage we look back
to see the lights twinklng through
the latticed windows, and in Anne's
room a lamp burns, like a beacon of
hope and brightness, to light us down
the narrow, narrow lane of long ago,
back to the hurrying, bustling high
way of now-a-day.

TO have this proclamation come under

Butler proposed 10 accomplish by fly

LIBERALS SHOWED UNDER

Results of British Elections, So sFaF
show . Big Victory for the UnIOnists.
LONDON, July l6.-The total results
of the parliamentary elections, for
which returns have been made, are as
follows: Conservatives, Isl; Liberal
Unionists, 81; Liberals, 90; Parnellites,
4; MoCarthyites, A; Labor, 1. Total,
2O4. AS compared with the parliament
which has just been dissolved, twenty
four seats thus returned show gains
for the Unionists and five are gains
for the Liberals There is intense ex-
element in London streets, as result
of the elections. The theaters and
restaurants are almost deserted
Two of the men best known in
America, whose success has been an
nounced, are Henry M. Stanley, the
African explorer, who made one un-
successful campaign for parliament,
and John Burns, the labor leader, who
visited the United States last winter.
Another labor leader, j. Kier Hardie,
who has been noted for his eccentric
attire in the house, loses his seat. The
four Conservative candidates for the
four divisions of Antrim in Ireland,
were returned. The announcement
that Mr.. Stanley was elected was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheering,
mingled with considerable hooting and
Kissing.

CONVENTION CALLED.
MISSOURI DEMOCRATS TO
. MEET AUGUST =. 81
The State Committee DScides BY Vote Of
~ to ?, to Cali q Silver Convention to
Convene at Pertle Springs and Consider
tho Financial QuestlOn-6OO Delegates.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 16.-By a vote Of
10 to 2 the Democratic state central
committee decided to call state silver
convention. The convention will be
held at Pertle Springs. The date fixed
was August 6, 1895. j. B. Thomas of
the Third and A. G. Steuver of the
Tenth district, were the only ones vot-
ing against the proposed convention.
Chairman Mafitt cast his own vote and
two proxies which he held for con-
vention. On June the committee met
and voted toto against holding con-
vention to consider the financial ques-
ton and this change has been brought
about by the friends of silver, who
have been agitating the question ever
since.
In executive session the committee
fixed the basis of representation in the
convention at one delegate to every 500
votes and fraction over $50 of the Cleve-
land vote of 1892. This will make a
convention Of about 900 delegates. The
chairman and secretary were instruct
ed to prepare and issue the official call.
The committee then adjourned.

DUN Reports . Perfect Flood Of Ordsrs
on In the Commercial World.
new York, July 10. -R. o. Dun &
Co. 8 weekly review of trade says;
A business food so strong and rapid
that conservatives fear II may do harm
is out of season in July. But the sea-
sons this year lap over and crowd
each other May frosts and rights,
it is now evident, kept back much bus
iuess that would naturally have been
finished before midsummer, and the
delayed accumulation of one season
gets in the way of efforts to begin an
other on time. But the volume of bus
mess, however, it may be assured, is
remarkably large for the month even
in good year. The exaggerated fears
about crops have passed, the syndicate
is believed both able and determined
to protect the treasury, and the time
draws near when the marketing of
new crops will turn into a national
balance if speculation does not hinder.
The week has been notable for asen-
sational fall in wheat of Sc in two
days, followed by recovery of SC,
though neither accords any interpre-
tation of the quite disregarded gov
eminent report The sudden drop in
prices was the result of speculation
rather than commercial influence.
Labor controversies in wooden mills
have generally resulted against the
workers, although some advance in
wages has been obtained, but strike
of carpet weavers at Philadelphia
already affects several thousand and
threatens to include many more, an
advance of ~ cents being demanded,
while the market for goods is so dull
and weak that manufacturers natur-
ally refused. Cotton goods continue
active and strong with comparatively
little difficulty as to labor. The North.
ern mills have taken little over 100, 600
bales in the past three months, since
cotton was below cents, but with
cotton bought cheap for FIVE months
ahead, they are able to do good
business.
The failures this week have been
253, against 247 last year.
