cellaneous Papers, ETC." The author OF
the fraud, in his subsequent confess
sion, says:
The volume did not appear until af-
! ter the presentation of the piece In
order. therefore, that Mr.. Malone
might not be backward on this occa-
sion, it was stated in the course of the
day that handful would be delivered
at the several avenues leading to Drury
Lane theatre, which was to contain an
affirmation that Mr. Malone, in his
work. would prove the whole to be a
rank forgery"
SANTA Ireland, the father of the
hero, was having the play put on the
stage, and hearing of the intended
handful had another one distributed,
requesting all persons who should at
tend the presentation of the piece to
lay aside any prejudice which might
arise in consequence of such invidious
attacks, and suffer the play to speak
for itself
The play was produced with a fine
cast of characters, among whom were
Kemble, Caulfield, Barrymore, Mrs
Jordan and others. According to good
authority the play was a complete fail
ure, the result of a conspiracy on the
part of Mr.. Malone and Others" if one
is to believe Mr.. ireland, who Foes on
to say that a signal was agreed upon
by the Malone faction. Mr.. Kemble
came to the line
And when this solemn farce is Ger"
Immediately there went up a general
howl. After time the confusion sub
sided, and Mr.. Kemble, instead of pro-
ceeding with the speech in the ensu-
ing line. redelivered the line quoted
with even more violent grimaces than
he had in the first instance displayed.
Says a writer on the subject:
The receipts of the piece for that
night, the only time it was ever pro-
duced, were more than S1,000''
A subsequent critic says:
How it could be possible that such
men as Sheridan, Parr, Wharton, Mac
ready and others could be deceived by
such lines as the following is past all
understanding:
o. Conscience. Conscience
When thou didst cry l strove to stop thy
mouth
BY thrusting on thee dire ambition.
Then did l think myself indeed a Godi
But l was sore deceived; for as l passed
And traversed in proud triumph the basse
court.
There I saw Death clad in most hideous
colors.
The following is a verse of the song
sang by Mrs. jordan in the same play:
Careless her locks around her hung,
And strove to catch each dewy tear;
The plaintive bird in pity sung
And plaintive bird in pity sung.
And breathed his sorrow in her ear.
Amazed She looked.

FUTURE OF WARSHIP Bull DING.
Chief Constructor Hichborn Writes of the Lessons of the
Fight With Spain.

The war has taught US what some of
US already held. that the torpedo boat is
not the formidable engine of war which
It has been credited with being. The
naval battles of the future, as of the past
will be fought by the most powerful en-
gines of naval warfare that can be con-
structed. The battleship. in spite of its
great cost will continue to occupy the
prominent place. The torpedo boat will
have its uses, but they will not be the
most important uses of a naval engage
ment- During the war just closed, the
torpedo boat was practically of no use at
all Just before the outbreak of hostil-
tiles, there was great scare on account
Of the flotilla of torpedo boats and tor
pedo boat destroyers which was said to
be on its way across the Atlantic from
the Cape Verde islands. When the war
actually came. we heard nothing more
about them until they were destroyed. In
fact. torpedo boats were. not used by

he stood against the wall by the en-
trance to the cave, and 1 made ready
to photograph him, delaying purposely
in adjusting my camera.
And presently the woman did just
what 1 expected, came out to see what
was doing to her husband. And she
stood there in the morning sunlight, at
the opposite side of the cave, holding
a naked child on one arm and looking
like some splendid Caryatid, so silent
was her pose and so fine. But her face
was yelled now, all save the eyes,
wrapped with a white cloth, which
she drew tight across the mouth with
one hand. Never shall / forget the
dignity of that poor woman, that wild
queen of a cave, nor her yellow trous
ers full at the hips and going down in
narrowing folds to be caught tight at
the ankles, nor the wide, red sash that
bound her waist. nor her bare feet, not
too small but perfect. AS she held the
little child she looked like a Madonna.
So 1 took the picture, they not know
ing at all what L was doing. They had
never heard of photography, nor of
railroads, nor of Europe, nor of Chris
tianity, nor of anything except the
happenings in that mud-hovel hamlet

, of David Garrick, which was published
I in Johnson & Stevens Shakespeare. He
then dug up a deed of the times OF
James 1, from which he initiated the
/ spelling, and drew up a lease between
/ William Shakespeare and John Hen
hinge. with Michael Fraser and his
wife Elizabeth, to which he affixed the
name of Shakespeare by initiating the
! transcript of the autograph in his pos
/ session.
/ In this way began the most au-
dacious series of forgery and imposi-
ton ever practiced. From initiating
/ signatures, young ireland proceeded
to indite acrostics in imitation of the
times of Shakespeare, to writing letters
initiating parts of plays, and lastly by
the browning imposition of composing
dramas and crediting them to the
prince of poets and dramatists. To add
I to the astounding audacity of the per-
pStrator, at least one of the plays,
''Vortigern" or "Rowena," was actually
put on the stage and produced before
an enthusiastic and overwhelming au-
.dience in the Drury Lane theatre, the
public fully believing that ii was one
of Shakespeare compositions.
A short time before the play was
brought out, Sheridan and Richardson
called at the house of the impostor's
father to examine a copy Of the piece.
In reading 1t through Mr.. Sheridan
came to a line that he thought was
destitute of poetry. After a careful
perusal of the line he remarked to
Richardson. This is rather strange,
for though you are acquainted with
my opinion of Shakespeare, yet be it
as it may, he always wrote poetry"
After finishing the manuscript he ex-
pressed himself as follows:
There are certainly some bold ideas
but they are crude and undigested. 1t
is odd. One would be led to think that
Shakespeare was young when he wrote
that play. AS to doubling whether it
really be his or not, who can possibly
look at the papers and not believe them
ancient?'
Numerous scholars and Shakespear-
can critics examined the manuscript,
and the only scholar in England who
doubted the authenticity of the play
and the pile of miscellaneous papers
was Edmunds Malone. who at the time
that the play was produced was pre-
pairing for publication his Inquiry

"She won't sell any milk now" said
the interpreter; 1--WE must wait until

But that will be an hour" I said;
why can't we buy the milk now? Say
that we will pay her price"
Then came more Interpreting, but the
woman clucked her tongue, lifted her
chin in the air and walked away with
the milk When a Turk clucks his
tongue and lifts his chin, the negative
is absolutely final.
"She is afraid of the evil eye if she
lets you nave the milk before sunset.

And, hungry as we were after a

cave up the side of the hill that had
been followed out of solid rock by
cave-dwellers thousands of years be-
fore. We were approaching the White
Valley now, where are so miles of these
rock-rooms that date from the dawn of
history.
In the morning I took the interpreter
and climbed up the hill to see this
strange home. The husband was work
ing with some bags of grain, getting
ready to put them in the ground
against the winter. The woman was
helping him But at my approach she
fed into the hole of the cave and

clean enough, save for sheep-dung at
one side, where the animals lay. There
were shelves and brackets followed in
the rock wall, and on these rested
some little earthen lamps, urn-shaped,
like those the Romans used. At one
side was a rock fireplace, under an
upward passage through the cliff, that
served for a chimney fire was

The enterprising author strikes even
higher and aims at royalty itself, as Is
shown by the following alleged auto
gra-h letter from Queen Elizabeth TO
Shakespeare:

The daring young impostor decided TO
try his hand at writing love letter,
which he credited to Shakespeare. He
accordingly penned the following epiStle
TO Anne Hathaway, the woman whom
the Doet married. In the letter he en-
closed a braided lock OF what was sup
posed to be Shakespeare hair:
doe assure thee no rude hand hattie
knitted ittee. thy WHY'S alone hath

This WIS received by the critics as
an indisDutably. genuine effusion of
Shakespeare to Anne Hathaway.
Young Ireland's deception of nearly
all the ripest scholars of the age was so
complete that they never forgave him.
AS he says in his confession: The fact
that they had been taken in, not by
a man OF experience and education, but
by boy only II years old, com1ara-
lively illiterate. was a stab at their
pride and self-esteem that never could
be forgiven
The excitement over the exposure
gradually died out, and the youthful
cause of it disappeared from public
view. hated and mathematical by
those whose vanity he had wounded by
imposing on them the crude compost
tons OF an illiterate boy as the works
of the greatest poet who ever lived.
