Cleveland on Shakespeare

The following is the text of Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter on Shakespeare addressed
to the Birmingham Dramatic and Liter
ary club, of England, at the late Shakes
peare birthday celebration:
Everything that tends to keep alive
the memory of Shakespeare and pre-
serves proper appreciation of his
word challenges my earnest interest
and approval, and, though cannot be
with you on the occasion you contem-
plate, am glad to know that our Amer
lean people will be prominently repre-
sented. There is much said and written
in these days concerning the relations
that should exist bound close by the
strongest ties. between the English
speaking peoples, and concerning the
high destiny that awaits them in con-
certed effort. 1 hope we shall never
know the time when these ennobling
sentiments will be less often expressed
or in the least lose their potency and in
f1uence. Surely, if English speech ap-
plies the token of united effort for the
good of mankind and the impulse of an
exalted international mission, we do
we'll to honor fittingly the name and
memory of William Shakespeare.
The reading of the letter was re-
ceived with enormous enthusiasm.

A BELLBOY BURGLAR
lie 10 Caught With Stolen JeweIry In Hi.
Possession

AT $50 last evening Officer REYNOLDS
arrested youthful and self-confesscd
burglar at the corner of Fourth and
Main streets. The prisoner is about is
years old and until recently has been
employed as bellboy at the Hotel del
coronado. About ten days ago four boys
VINO were suspected of robbing the
rooms of guests We're summarily dis
charged from the employ of the hotel
and their clothing searched upon their
departure. Nothing of an discriminating
nature was found upon them, hut the
moral certainty of their guilt was SO
great that they were only allowed to go
with reluctance.
Soon after their discharge the quartet
started for Los Angeles, and the police
We're notified to look out for Them 1t
was in consequence of a telegram stat
ing that fresh proof of their guilt had
been discovered and the fact that the
prisoner was trying to dispose of dia-
mond pin, that the arrest was made
Reynolds brought his capture to the po-
lice station and searched him..
Upon his person were found the dia-
mond pin, worth $40 or $50, several rings,
both plain bands and set with pearls,
and other stones and fine stud. The
boy was closely questioned and at first
denied, but finally admitted his guilt.
He said that the reason none of the
PiuhuCA was iooiiA upoh tilc uIilcltiit
lads when they We're searched at the
time of their departure was because
they had wrapped the valuables in
handkerchiefs and thrown them from a
window into a flower bed, whence they
We're recovered later.
The rest of the gang left Monday
night for San Francisco, with them the
ring leader, who is most badly wanted.
At the station the name Of the prisoner
was refused for publication, as he had
not been placed upon the public blotter
but the fact that an important capture
had been made was admitted. There
have been many mysterious thefts at
the hotel during the winter, and the sum
total of losses will reach a good round
figure. That this gang of boys has been
responsible for the robberies seems GER
tain, and they will now have to answer.

AT THE THEATERS

BURBANK THEATER-A modern
version of the story of Pygmalion and
Galatea Is presented in Niobe, which
Will be played by the Davis & Moulton
Musical Comedy company at the Bur

Sd. The thread of the story Is this: An
antique Grecian statue of fabulous
worth and wonderful beauty is placed
IN the home of a wealthy New Yorker
for safe keeping, and is brought to life
by the contact of a live electric light
wire. The ideas of the vivified statue
are those of the period 1000 years before
Christ, and are necessarily amusing.
All modern appliances are a source Of
wonder to her. The complications that
arise from the suspicious of the good
mans wife also furnish an accepted op-
portunity for the display Of the enter
tanning qualities Of the company OF art

prints In the Earth

Between the hours of IL midnight and
o'clock yesterday morning the saloon
at the northwest corner of Maple ave-
nue. and Seventh street was burglarized,
and two bottles of wine and one of bran
Gy made way with. Entrance was eff
fected from the rear by breaking the
glass in a door and prying it open by
means of chisel. No money was Sc
cured, as whatever cash had been left
in the place was taken from the register
and secreted.
The detectives were notified and i'm
mediately proceeded to the spot On
the door were the stains of blood and
upon the ground for some distance were
spots or carmine leading off toward a
vacant lot. A new cement walk had
just been laid around the building
which walk was covered with earth to
portect it while green. In this loose
earth in front of the door were the plain
prints or the burglars feet as he had
pressed and pushed in the endeavor to
pry IL open and force an entrance. He
had evidently cut his hand on the bro
ken glass, and in leaving left a trail of
tlood by which he was tracked to the
vacant lot.
gunny sacks stained with blood, and
with blood-stained rag tied around
one hand lay a young man asleep. His
name was given as Charles Lapp and
age as 19. He was taken to the scene of
the crime and the shoes he had on fit
ted to the imprints left in the earth on
the walk. The impressions exactly cor
responded to the shoes. Lapp said he
had cut his hand the day previously
While up town. This might have been
and the exertion caused by his endeav-
ors to pry open the door caused the
wound to bleed afresh.
Lapp was taken to the police station
and locked up for burglary The chisel
with which the door was broken open
was also found. the handle smeared
with blood. 1t is claimed by the detec-
tlves that they have a clear case against
MIN. Lapp is son of one of the Times

AN INTOLERANT FACULTY

The oratorical association of the Chi
eago university recently decided to in
vite Eugene v. Debs to speak some time
during the next quarter. When the
members of the faculty learned Of the
intended invitation a roar went UP and
the demand to withhold the invitation
went forth. The faculty declared that
Mr.. Debs belonged to a dangerous ele-
ment and his appearance at the univer-
sity of Chicago would endanger the
standing of the institution among the
orthodox.
It is quite apparent that the members
Of the faculty Of the Rockefeller endowed
school Of higher learning have about the
same breadth of gauge as the man who
wakes indignant and stops his subscrip-
tion when the newspaper he is taking
happens, in line with it's functions as
public journal, to publish communica-
ton antagonistic to his individual views.
There are plenty Of two-penny bigots of
that kind in the world, as every inde-
pendent and liberal newspaper in the
land has found out, and their presence
has done almost as much to restrict the
freedom of the press as statutory enact
ments for that express purpose would.
1t is unfortunately true, even in
this republic that boasts of free press,
that cowardly editors too frequently
deny the use of their columns to one part
of the public for fear of offending a still
larger or more influential part There Is
no principle but bad one in this course.
nor is it in the long run good policy, and
adherence to it indicates a very SUPER

intelligence and conscience. No news
paper can make permanent success
by catering to prejudices or worshiping
abjectly at the feet Of the passing idols
of popular ignorance. 1t is said that

A Valuable Find

1t was learned yesterday afternoon
through an old miner, who refused to
give his name. that the members of the
Enterprise Mining company of this city
had been offered $4,000 for it's claim
which is situated on the northern border
of New Mexico, about sixty miles from
Albuquerque. The groupings of this
mine ran $4 to the ton on the surface. but
at depth of ten feet below that they
averaged Sill to the ton. The corr
pany refused to consider any offers. and
is arranging for further development
of the mine before any other PROPOSE
ton will be considered. They think
from the developments so far found
that future offers also will not be CON
sidered. and intend to go ahead and de-.
velop it themselves.
