SHAKESPEARE AND SLANG.

An enterprising correspondent to the
American publication, Shakespeariana.
remarks the Literary World, has been
showing that the Bard of Avon is the
father of more than one slang phrase
now held in disrepute in certain circles.
For instance, in "Cymbeline" Gii:4-5D,
Imogen. defending herself to Pisanio,
says accusingly of her husband:
Some jay in Italy
Whose mother was her painting, hath
betrayed him
Most of the instances of modern slang
cited from shakespeare are mere YER
bal condolences. like too thin," which
somebody has traced to Henry VIII ".
8. 1850:
But know I come not
To hear such fattery now, and in my
presence
They are too thin and bare to hide Of
lenses.
There the phrase is a simple and nat
ural metaphor. as it continued to be in
speech and writing until recently, when
by vulgar iteration it lapsed into slang.

THE PECK CONCENTRATIONS.
Park City News Cleaned From the
Columns of the Record.


The present week developed big
surprise in mining circles in this camp
in the fact that on Tuesday the entire
force at the Anchor mine, with the ex-
ception of those employed in the work
of prospecting, were laid off, and the
concentration will close down Monday
next, by which time the ore on hand
will be used up. The close down is the
result of careful elaboration and will
last until the proposed new Peck con-
centrator is nearing completion. The
Anchor concentrator is not doing as
effective work as the managers think
necessary. and a large percentage of
values are lost. and as the Peck method

stop the leak by closing down and

THE sr'KELLAR GOLD SAVER.

During the past two or three days,

that it is destined to prove very i'm

sentiment of the cigar makers was crys-

by the police of San Francisco; and whereas. a
iury has been secured who will convict men !,

DICK WILLIAMS DIVORCE
Charges of Awful Cruelty Are
Brought by the Ex.Inspec-
tors Wife.
Nine Years Of Domestic Infelicity,
in Which Threats to Kill
Were Common.

The story of the domestic infeliclties of
Richard s. Williams, the ex-custo toms in
spector, and his wife, is being unfolded in
Judge Hunts court. If the tale told by
Mrs. Williams be but half true, her hus-
band should be either in Jail or in luna
tic asylum. Her testimony yesterday was
one long recital of cruelty. Four days
after her marriage, she said, her husband
tore her wedding dress from her person
and on the day she left him he tried to kill
her with a carving-knlfe. During the in
tervenlng nine years Williams ran the
gamut of every conceivable cruelty
known to brutal husband.
While the story of his shortcomings was
being recited the ex -em ploye of Uncle Sam
sat at a table with his attorney and
scowled. He is apparently little interested
in the fact that his wife is trying to free
herself from him. What interests Viii.
Iiams is $4,000 that is in the hands of the
court pending the decision of the suit.
This money is community property and
he wants half of it. On the other hand
Mrs. Williams wants it all. She claims
that her husband made away with over
$1,000 that remained in their home at 422
Scott street on the day of their separation.
The story of Williams cruelty as related
on the witness-stand yesterday is almost
incredible. 1t was related how he tore off
his wifes wedding dress because she Wis.,
tied her mother; how he slapped her face
with a hair brush; how he struck her with
his fist and blackeEed her eyes, how,
when she was sick in bed, he threw pill
lows at her and afterward threw her down.
stairs; how he threw plates at her, at
tackled her with a razor and threw plate
of food in her face. Williams also occa-
sionally amused himself by dragging hi s
wife from bed late at night and forcing
her to do kitchen work, and at other
times made her do housework over again
because 1t was not done TO suit him.
About q year ago. tired of harsh treat
ment, the abused woman left her home
and returned TO her mother. She was
enticed back by message that one of her
children was SICK and locked in room by
her husband, who beat and kicked her to
his hearts content. A month later he
threw ham at her. beat her with poker
and struck her on the side OF the head and
injured her so severely that her hearing
has ever since been impaired.
The elimination of the entire trouble
occurred on April 80 last On that day
Williams thrashed his wife with an um-
brella and when she threatened to leave
him, tried to kill her with carving-knife.
She escaped through window, after
cutting her hands severely in securing the
knife. Williams then tore up all her
dresses. and she sued him for divorce.
Williams in his answer alleges that his
wife treated him with cruelty, and that
she recently tried to shoot him.

She was dressed in widows weeds, but
her manner was, during the morning ses-
sion, altogether blithe and cheerful She
answered all questions frankly, having
occasionally, however, to consult with her
friends by way of refreshing her memory.
Mrs. Todd stated that she had lived in
California over forty years with little

in 1890 Todd established the first ex-
press, she said, in California, but sold it
out about six months before their mar

'They say bitter things against Monteith.

expected, on the basis of four Peoples
