CASANOVA CASTLE TO GO.

The Casanova castle, at Casanova, on
Long Island Sound says the New York
Times, will soon be torn down. This
structure is owned by land improve
ment company, which intends to utilize
the material in other buildings. THE cas-
tie was built by B. M. Whitlock, rich
southerner, who came north in the late
fifties, and Is known as 'Whitlock's Fol-
ly.' 1t is said that he spent $250,000 in
building the house. Much of it was torn
down and rebuilt while yet unfinished,
for Whitlock was determined to have ex-
actly what he wanted in his island home.
The house has 200 rooms, and 1t also has
a subterranean passage leading from the
cellars to the rocky shore of the Sound.
The stories told of the style maintained
by Whitlock in this house are truly won
derful. Adjoining the house are spacious
stables, plant for manufacturing gas
and numerous -outhouses. The civil war
brought ruin to Whitlock, and the castle
fell into the hands of Spanish noble
man named Casanova, whose relatives
were recently banished from Cuba. The
Casanova regime came to an end about
twelve years ago, and since that time
the place has been unoccupied, except by
a Waterman"

NEVER EDITED HIS PLAYS.
Reason Why Shakespeare Did Not Trus
His Dramas to a Publisher.

Reason Why Shakespeare Did Not Trust
His Dramas to Publisher
There is new answer to the old ques-
ton why Shakespeare did not himself
undertake the collection of his plays.
Some biographers have gone so far as to
build up theory of his character on that
fact, holding that he wrote the plays
only for money, and that when he had
achieved his object, a comfortable indie
pendence and a handsome house in his
native village at Stratford, his interest
in them ceased. According to this theory,
says the London Standard, he cared moth
ing at all for, the plays as literature, and
had no regard for future fame, simply
doing his work from day to day by lifting
good stage material whenever he could
lay hand on It,. and turning in into
dramas in rough and ready fashion, as
any literary hack of today might do. OF
course, such theory Is utterly destruct-
i've of the notion of any deep, underlying
system" of art or ethics in the dramas,
such as critics of the Germanizing type
have tried to find and this apparent dis
regard for the preservation of the plays
has given good deal of trouble to stu
gests several explanations of the fact
that Shakespeare did not devote the COM
parative leisure of his later years in
Stratford to collecting and editing the
plays one theory suggested Is that ne
may have projected such a recenson and
then have died suddenly, carried off, per-
haps, by one of the. Infectious diseases,
so common then, before he had time to
complete the work. pr
1t Is quite possible. therefore, that
Shakespeare did mediate. in the course OF
time, going through all his plays, revis-
ing and publishing them; only he not
unnaturally thought that there was no
case for hurry. and that the task might
be undertaken at any time during the
next twenty years. Moreover 1t may
have been either that he still retained Q
financial interest In the Globe theater,
at any rate, as far as the representation
of his plays was concerned; br, if he did
not, that he had parted with his interest
to others still actively engaged In the
work Of the theater. In either case there
existed powerful motive for not bring
ing the plays together and publishing
them in one volume. in an accessible
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-11-15

| form. When this had once been done
| ii would have been easy for other theatrl-
| cal companies to avail themselves of the
| text and to play Shakspeare's pieces up
and down the country, at no cost to them
selves and at no profit to others.
Against this suggestion 1t may be OBJ
jected that Hemings and Condell took
this very course within, seven years of
Shakespeares DEATH thereby producing
the exact result which the argument as
sumes had to be avoided But it Is high
ly probable that the run on Shake
speare's pieces for many years after his
death ma terially slackened, and Hem
ngs and Condell felt that the only safe
way to insure the perpetuation of his
works was to print and publish them. 1t
has often been said that Shakespeare I'M
dertook no such task himself through
philosophical indifference to fame, and
because he attached little value to his
own writings. 1t is not at all unlikely
that he rated what is called fame much
lower than most of those who are far less
likely to achieve it.
But we can hardly assume that he did
not attach a more or less accurate value
to what he had given the world. He was
aware that much of it had been written
in haste, that there was good deal he
would wish to blot out or to alter, If he
could set the sign manual of his former
appreciation on his dramas. But he could
not fail to be conscious of the spendor
of many of the passages he had written,
of the imaginative consistency of many
of the characters he had conceived and of
the abiding interest of the action of many
of his plays. Happily for him, however,
If unfortunately for us, he was free from
that excessive and fidgety self-conscious-
ness which has been SO marked liter
airy failing in later times. He did not
think, like too many careful sonneteers
or graceful Wrists of our own generation,
that the sun rose and set for his produce
fiOnS and thai If in general and
his own writings in particular were the
most important things in life. He took
a juster view of himself and things in
general The greatest poet and dramat-
ist that ever lived, he did not trouble
himself or others overmuch about his
own works

act to our credit, though I don't sup
pose there's any way of getting the
money back to the farmer. Well, you
give me S., keep S. yourself and good luck
to you, for I've got to go and see about
my baggage and, pocketing the bill, he
disappeared down the alley.
A short time later three men-a quiet
looking person, smooth-looking individ-
ual in seedy clothes and a man in a
brown suit but with no whiskers-stood
in front of a Clark street bar and dis
cussed the truth of the assertion that a
sucker is born every day.
At about the same hour a sprightly,
wide-awake country merchant on his way
home from Chicago found that he was
possessed of a counterfeit $50 bill.
