Ex-Governor Sheldon of New Mexico, who

SHAKESPEARE'S BLUNDERS IN FACTS

Shakespeare made many slips of the pen
in the course of his voluminous writings.
Perhaps the best known ia the incident in
the Winters Tale of the vessel bearing the
infant Perdita being driven by storm on
the coast of Bohemia, whereas Bohemia
has no seaboard at all. In other
geographical references the great bard
was at fault. For instance. Delphi is
spoken of in Coriolanus as an island, and
reference is male in Hamlet by the dead
kings ghost to the beetling cliffs of Elsi-
more, which. as a matter of fact, has no
cliffs at all. Hamlet, by the way. fairly
abounds in anachronisms. According to
Danish history. the sorrowful prince is
placed in fabulous times long before the
introduction of Christianity into the north
of Europe, but the characters in Shakes
peare's play make frequent ailusions to
Christian customs. Hamlet himself swears
by St. Patrick, and converses with
Gui!derstern or the Children of the Chapel
of ST. Paul's. Mention is also made in the
play of the birth of Christ, and there are
allusions to Sunday, St. Valentines day
and other Christian observauces. Further
anachronisms to be found in the tragedy
are the Introduction of a seal royal, long
before seals were used. university at Wit

ducats. crown pieces, modern heraldry.
rapers and modern fencing. In julius

were unknown to the Romans, and the
striking clock was not invented until at
least 400 years after le death of Caesar.
In Macbeth and King John we hear of cam
non in an age before the invention OF gum

Republicans at War


The silver question has assumed a very
acute phase in the Republican party. and
all signs indicate lively time at the conn
ing national convention of that organiza-
ton. 1t looked for time as though the
old wateh-word of 'protection' would keep
the party together, but war has been de-
clared and the senators from the silver
states have filed notice that no more tariff
bills will be considered until free coinage
bill has become law. This declaration
places the Republican party in position
where it will be impossible for it to accom-
plish anything for some years to come.
providing the silver senators keep their
word. The senators from the eastern and
northern states will not vote for a free sill
yer bill. und the western senators won't
vote for a tariff bill, consequently the two
most important issues likely to arise in
the next national convention Of the Repub-
lican party cannot be compromsed.-M

POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ITALY'S
DEF EAT

1t is altogether pro bable that the dis
aster to Italian arms in Abyssinia will
be more far reaching than at first
thought. If Italy persists in her at
tempts at conquest she will have on
her hands long, exhausting war with
she punctustes the project now she will
most seriously impair her prestige with
the great powers Of the world. But
it is not Italy alone that is
concerned in the outcome of
the Abyssinian affair. The European
powers with which she has been iden-
titled in an effort TO maintain that
precious balance of power that keeps
the old world nations awake nights,
feel some solicitude about the matter.
If Italy continues to prosecute the
Abyssinian campaign, as said before, it
will involve her in long eXhausting
conflict which will so absorb her ener-
gies and capital and strain her credit,
as to make her Of practically no i'm
portance as an ally. If she
withdraws her troops and thus
eonfesses herself beaten, the
action will be taken as being significant
of either weakness or gross incom-
petency and therefore not to be de-
pended on in any alliance. In fact the
situation of Italy is such that she can
make no move that will not result in
minimizing her influence and import
ance in European councils. Italy has
long stood with England and Austria
against the encroachments of Rus
sia and she has unquestion-
ably been looked on by tine
English as most important factor
in the oination which has for its
object the confinement OF the Russian
bear within the lines which mark the
present boundaries of his domain of
power and territory. Bnt during the
last few days the trust of England
must have been shaken in the govern
ment of King Humbert. A country
that is torn by dissension and ruled by
incompetency and vsciIiation is not
the sort to depend on when a great
crisis comes. England will have to
seek new friend and the ex-
isencies of the occasion may lead to
q renewal of the cordiality that
30 long existed between that country
and Germany. The feeling aroused
between the two governments by the
Jamison episode will soon subside, and
the dangers that might come of an
alliance of Russia and France will
likely make plain the policy of stand
ing for instead of against each other.
A coalition of England and Germany
would be the most formidable in
Europe.

sure, but it is only one, and temporary
issue at that. Democracy stands, among

GREAT MEMS HUMBLER WORK

I see that Frank G. Carpenter, in re-
cording an interview with Mrs. Grant
for the Timss-Herald, gives her credit
for pronouncing as ridiculous state
ment to the effect that General Grant
was teamster in Galena What fol-
lows indicates that Mrs. Grant resents,
Indignantly, the inference that her late
husband was teamster, n coachman or
a cab driver. have seen no story that
General Grant ever was u coachman or
cab driver, but there is an unlimited
amount of unquestioned proof that he
did drive through southwestern Wis
consin. to great extent, in the inter-
est of Grant & Son, of Galena, year
or two before the war. 1t is fact.
backed by an abundance of the best of
proof. that when party of capitalists
rode from Galena to GAINESVILLE General
Grant was Of the party and drove the
team. That fact, however, would give
on one all excuse for terming the gen.
eral cab driver or a coachman.
One Of the first things prominently
mentioned when Grant began to grow
as soldier was that when boy he
was great lover OF horses; that he
was quite famous when child ss
rider; that he was fond of breaking
colts to ride and drive. Who does not
recall his sale of horse? His father
had told him to charge certain sum,
but that he could sell him for $25 less.
The Grant boy told the bi yer Just
what his father had said. II is need
less to say that the buyer took advan-
tage of the $25 clause.
have never heard any one deny that
General Grant drove his own team to
haul wood to st. Louis while on his
farm. That is part of history. Should
any one who called Grant a teams ster
because he hauled wood to st. Louis,
because he was a skillful driver, be-
cause he drove for the Galena party
bound for Janesville, be charged with
attempting to reflect uufavorably upon
the great general? Can it be possible
that Mrs. Grant believes that stories.

written stories about the early life of

citizen and in the employ of his fathers

know that the public delights i'll them;
that they do bis great name no harm

Two 1exican5 Bru,ssd-rhe Result of a Col

Shortly after O'Clock last evening the
incoming Southern Pacific train from Pasa-
dena just this side of Shorbs station, hit
buggy containing two Mexicans. The
train was coming at the usual rate of speed
and was approaching the crossing when
the driver of the rig attempted to cross the
tracks in front of the engine. He miscal-
culated the distance and the buggy was
smashed, the two occupants being hurled
in different directions to the ground.
The train was stopped and assistance
quickly rendered. Both were taken aboard
and brought to the Arcade depot when the
patrol wagon was summoned and they
were taken to the receiving hospital. They
were booked as lose Acosta and L. San
chez, and as neither could speak English
the services of an interpreter had to be Sc
cured before an account of the accident
could he obtained. DIR. Ainsworth render
ed medical assistance and sewed up a bad
cash in Acosta's arm. Sanchez escaped
with scalp wound. Acos,a complains of
pains in his side and may be internally
injured. Both are doing we'll and will soon
be able to be about.
