PROBABLY AN ERROR.
A Report that Case of the Peoples Ed.
itor Has Been Affirmed.

One of the afternoon papers prints a dis
patch from Washington in which it is
stated that in the case of James Wilson
against the United States. appealed from
the Federal Court here, the decision of the
lower court had been affirmed and that Will
son must serve his sentence of two years
for sending obscene matter through the
mails.
When seen, Judge Baker was inclined to
think the report of the affirmation of the
decision was erroneous. he had heard
nothing of it. He stated that unless there
is some special reason the decision will
probably not be handed down until the end
of the term which occurs next May. Kern
& Bailey attorneys for the defendant. have
received no word concerning the affirmation
of the decision. Said Mr.. Bailey last night:
Il am sure there is some mistake. We have
received no notice of the case having beer.
argued and neither has Mr. Wilson.
think there has been Il guess on the part
of the man who wrote that published dis
patch. Mr.. Wilson stated TO me tonight
that he was sure there is mistake, also.
He said he had never stated that the deci-
sion had been reversed. as reported. He
said that in talking to newspaper repre-
sentative recently he made mention of a
similar case in Cass county that had beer
decided and pointed i'm his favor in his own
case, and that out OF that probably grew
the report that he had said his case had
been reversed

LORD AND LADY MACBETH.
Their Characters AnaIyxed by Prof
II. q. MOultOn, of Chicago.

Owing to the prevalent inclemency OF the
weather the Propylaeum Yves not more
than comfortably filled last night, but the
audience listened attentively and appreci-
atively to the analysis of the lives and
characters Of Lord and Lady Macbeth by
Dr. X. G.. Mouton. professor of English
literature in the university extension di-
vision of Chicago University. This lee
ture was the first of the university extern
sion course on the tragedies of Shaks-
peare and contemporary European history.
which has been arranged for six consecu-
tive Tuesday evenings.
Dr. Moulton graphically portrayed the
characters of Lord and Lady Macbeth, and
ct different periods as the lecture proceed
ed threw aside the reserve of the lecturer
and himself took the parts of each and
with fervcr and enthusiasm more forcibly
depicted the illustrations in the lines of
Shakespeare. When he quoted from Lady
Macbeth at the time when the plot to
murder Duncan is revealed to her by Mac
beth, when in intermingled with
alarm she asks What beast was it, then
that made you break this enterprise to
me?" DIR. Moulton illustrated so truly her
supposed attitude as she spoke the words
that the audience was held spellbound and
Of applause chances OF appreciation were
exchanged throughout the room. -
''One of the most prominent characters
in one of the greatest plays that Shaks-
peare has written was the character of
Lady Macbeth said DR.. Moulton. 1T is
a traditional view that she was a vlrago
having coarse nature that was the ruin
of her nobler husband. But in my mind
the coarser character is possessed by Mac
beth. and Lady Macbeth is only shielding
him in noble crisis to prevent him from
adding weakness 20 his sin. 1t Is in his
low nature that he seals the ruin of both.
and she exceeds her husband in guilt only
i'm the sense that the higher nature falls
with the greater fall. That she has the
| coarse nature is one point of traditional
! view that is plainly and demonstratively
| false. Generally people suppose that
| Lady Macbeth IS responsible for the
purpose OF the murder. and yet that is
| plainly Incompatible with the play. When
! villains quarrel honest men learn secrets.
When Lady Macbeth and Macbeth quar-
| relied they were alone. She taunts him
with cowardice which arouses every en-
ergy for evil in his nature. What beast
! was il. then hat made YOU break this en-
| terpise to me-? she asked When did he
| break TO her this enterprise of treason and
| murder? 1t was before the opening of the
play. before Macbeth had met the witches

NO RUSH FOR THE PLACES
MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE NOT YET
OVERWHELMED WITH CLAIMS.
Not Likely that There VIII BE n Cnu-
Gus Before the Meeting I'm january
All Could Not BE Present.

A few members of the Legislature turned
up yesterday for the meeting of the State
committee and they report that the great
rush of applicants for positions in the Leg
islature that was anticipated has failed to
materialize. There will be no lack of good
timber TO fill the places. but the only indi-
cations of the supposed scramble they have
received have been few modest letters an
nouncing the candidacy of the writers for
this or that elective office within their gift
1t is practically settled fact that there
will be no legislative caucus before the reg
ular time of converting for the purpose of
endeavoring to determine upon party meas
ures. Those members talked to were OPP
posed to the idea because it would be i'm
possible for all Republican members to be
present at such a gathering and ii would
be unwise to undertake anything with only
a partial attendance.

and, realizing the purport of the awful
news. she at once began scheming TO shield
her husband in the carrying out of his de-
sign. Therefore ii Is clear that Macbeth
and not Lady Macbeth is responsible Tor
the crime OF the story. She Is responsible
for this: That IN the boldness OF the crime
she stops her husband from weakness.
When people read one of Shakespeare
plays they asusme what / shall call the
psychology of the nursery-the good and
the naughty. The good pass over the
naughty with a scream. and the naughty
pass over the good with kiss. Have you
never heard of the man who was king In
the world of thought, yet in this world OF
affairs could not be trusted to take care OF
himself? In the age like the age OF this
drama the difference of these two worlds
would run the line of the sexes. Ge-
MUS ana force of will would have no vent
except in the world. Each Of us has two
lives; the outer one of action and inter-
course with our felow-men, and the inner
life in which we see the reflection of our
own energies. Macbeth is the power of the
world without, the practical world. the
hero Of the world of action. while Lady
Macbeth is the heroine of the inner life.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS.
Legislature Should Have Means Of
Knowing What IL Needed.

knowing what Is Needed.
William s. Haggard, of Lafayette the
newly elected lieutenant governor. was in
the city yesterday. while 1 thoroughly
appreciate the heavy responsibilities that
rest upon the Legislature this year" said
he irfs answer to an inquiry by a Journal
reporter, Il am not losing any sleep over
the arrangement of the Senate committees.
The personnel of the Senate this year is as
fine any that ever participated in Indi-
ana legislation. l know the members so
well that could arrange the committees
tomorrow TO my entire satisfaction, but /
intend that every member shall have a
hearing if he desires it before the commit
tees are made up"
In further conversation, while discussing
the question of appropriation bills, Mr..
Haggard said: "If / had my way about 1t
the State should have an honest and COM
petent agent who knows something of
architecture. and this man, should spend
sion opens in visiting the various State in
stitutions in order that he might report to
the Legislature just what they need and
what they d. not need. There was a great
cry against the reduction of the appro-
priationS in 1895. but the reduction was
made and the institutions have done well.
with the insufficient knowledge that the
members can gain during the short time
they have to prepare the appropriation
bill. it is naturally a case of hit or miss,
and the next time we might miss 1t.
Col. /. n. Walker, state tax commission
er. while conversing on this same subject
yesterday morning, made suggestion
along this same line. He was being com
plimented the fact that the state tax
commissioners two years ago furnisheo
ample data to the Legislature upon which
il could estimate very closely the revenues
of the State during the succeeding two
years. and regret was expressed that there
was no such reliable source for data as to
what ought to be appropriated. 1T seems
to me-" said he, that the State could find
three men, men of business and unques-
toned integrity, who could form com
mission and devote two or three months OF
their time every two years before the meet
ing of the Legislature to making thor
ough investigation Of the needs of each In
stitution. The Legislature would have con
fidence in their report and the institutions
would get all they needed and no more
instead of indulging in the game OF graf
that has been played at every session fol
years. I believe such men could be found
who would serve without any further pay
than their expenses. t
