WOMEN OF SHAKESPEARE
w. Greer Harrison's Essay Be-
fore the Woman's Press
Association.
Colonel Dickinson's Address and a
Programme of Classic Vocal
Gems.

Over 500 of the Clty's most cultured
ladies assembled in Golden Gate Hall at
yesterdays open meeting of the Pacific
Coast Woman's Press Association. In the
audience could be noticed many to whom
years had brought additional dignity and
grace; but most of those present were
young ladies, who, while they displayed
none of the characteristics associated with
bloomers and blue stockings, looked far
more intelligent and infinitely more
charming than the average gathering of
young men.
The meeting being called to order by
Mrs. Van Pelt, the genial lady president,
Cheminade's ballad, "Rosamonde," was
sung by j. II. Toler, who gave as an en-
core Pease's romantic song. Darling, Kiss
My Eyelids Down." Mr.. Toler's ringing,
silvery tenor was ably seco nded by Mrs.
Eva Wren's artistic accompaniment.
Miss Fannie Jeffreys Pray recited a
clever satire on the state of things which
might be supposed to prevail should the
''new woman" as commonly understood,
come to be power in the land. The
ske tch dealt with the domestic trials of a
husband forced to manage the nursery
and kitchen while his advanced helpmeet
devoted her attention to the office, the
promenade and the club.
Next came Dudley Bucks beautiful
solo, when the Heart Is Young" which
was charmingly rendered by Mrs. Wren,
and as charmlngly accompanied by Mr.
Toler. Mrs. Wren's voice was much ad-
mlred by ali present, her high notes in
particular being soft and natural, clear
and we'll sustained.
Colonel T. M. Dickinson of Alameda
made a brief, but interesting address
on the Evolution of Woman" He
said the time had been when the best of
women were by a stretch of magnanimous
consideration regarded as Just below the
level of the lowest man. That time. how
ever, had passed, and now woman in her
sphere was regarded as equal to man in
his. 1t had taken the world some CEN
turies to arrive at this natural and inst
conclusion, but now that it was reached
he said the future held great possibilities
for woman. His remarks were inter-
spersed with number of well-timed an
ecdotes and comparisons, which evoke d
frequent demonstrations of applause from
his appreciative and critical audience.
Mrs. Wren and Mr.. Toler sang Hem
shaw duet, Eden Land" after which
William Greer Harrison read paper on
" The Women of Shakespeare.
Nothing could be more thorough than
Mr.. Harrison's analysis of some of the
heroines whose loves and lives form SO in
teresting feature in tine plays of the
Bard OF Avon. In reviewing King Lear"

A DEFECTIVE COMPLAINT.
1t Relieves a Preacher OF q Charge O


1t Relieves q Preacher OF q Charge OF
Perjury.
The Rev. H. e. Howland has been grant
ed new trial by the Supreme Court, be-
cause the complaint which he filed against
man named Howard and upon which
charge of perjury was based, was defective.
The Rev. Rowland was a travelling
preacher. He went to Pasadena, and
after being there few days he filed
complaint against man named Howard,
charging him with disturbing meeting.
The complaint fell through and Rowland
was charged, tried and convicted and SEN
fenced for perjury i'll consequence. He was
now serving two years time in the State
prison until released yesterday.
The complaint against Howard was de-
fectlve, says the Supreme Court, and
therefore there could have been no per-
jury, even though it was sworn to. The
order denying new trial has therefore
been reversed and the lower court is in
structed to acquit upon second hearing
OF the case.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-24

Mr.. Harrison brought out with rare lucid
ness the contrast between the gentle Cor
della and her two vixenish sisters. In
Portia, Beatrice, Isabelle and Rosalind
the essayist found instances of Shakes
pears types of the intellectual woman.
The cold, keen logic of the female barris-
ter, the astute yet honorable diplomacy of
the Spanish Queen, the cutting irony of
Beatrice and the gay, capricious, harm
less wit of Rosalind were all noted with an
appreciative particularly which evinced
long familiarity with the types described.
Mr. Harrison's portrayal of Juliet was
especially graphic. He described her as a
tender girl, whose heart had just become
the seat OF passion, ardent and soul
consuming, yet pure and stainless. The
paper was rather long. but when the
essayist would have abridged it he was
requested amid much applause to continue
it to the end.
A discussion was to have followed the
reading of the paper, but on its conclusion
the ladies agreed that Mr.. Harrison had
covered the ground so thoroughly and so
well that there was nothing left to discuss.
