BRAVE BEFORE THE CAMERA.
Cleveland Photographer Says Presi-
dent Mckinley Has "Nerve."

People who accuse the President OF
lack OF nerve are quite i'm the wrong.
During the campaign of '96 a Cleveland
photographer made a number OF trips
to Canton and secured quite a gallery
OF views OF the Major and his surround
lhgs. one OF these photographs was
taken under somewhat unfavorable
conditions. The light was poor and a
iong exposure necessary.
Inc persons In the group were the fu-
.ure PRESIDENT, his secretary, Mr.. Boyle:

stan correspondent Lloyd. OF the

SIDE In a somewhat constrained attitude
IN order 10 utilize the best light. The
photographer tried 10 pose him i'm as
easy position as possible. but even
then II was far from comfortable.
Inc secretary sat opposite the Major,
Mr.. Smith sat behind the narrow table,
ana Lloyd stood in the background
owing TO the unfaYorable conditions
The pose lasted nearly five minutes. The
secretary moved his hands Mr. Smith
moved his head. and Lloyd swayed
enough to confuse his outlines. But the
MAJOR never stirred a muscle. There

WAS A POOR DRINKER.
And the Great Shakespeare Couldn't
Stand the Pace.

the commentators have mostly
agreed to reject the anecdote that
Shakespeare died of a fever resulting
from "a merry meeting" with Ben
Jonson and Michael Drayton at STRAIT
ford-on- Avon. The story was published
by clergyman who heard IL about
thirty years after the event. 1t has
shocked into incredulty a good many
people who imagined Shakespeare TO
have not been a man, but a demigod.
Now, Mr.. Frank Harris surmises from
a number of passages i'm shakespeare
works that he was a poor drinker. and
had great contempt for the drinking
customs OF his period. But he was
bored to death at Stratford, and when
his friends came to see him he yielded
TO the temptation to drink too much
and paid the penalty.
Jonson and Drayton were none the
worse for the debauch, but IL killed the
poet, who, like his own Cassie. had

a fashion that has become popular

institutions is to offer a certain sum of
money conditional on certain other
sums being raised. This tends TO en-

to raise money TO pay it's indebtedness,
was offered an endowment OF 800. 600

The cotton situation is the despair
of the Industrial boomer Cotton is King
and just now a tyrant king. Our coun-
try produces SIS per cent. of all the cot
ton grown in the world and what makes
the increase of the past quarter century
Tar from gratifying is the fact that the
cotton crop elsewhere has been grow
ing. too. There is evidently no money
in increasing a production when the
other fellow is keeping up. The result
is bound TO be an overproduction and
not the supplying of a demand that
leads TO prosperity. This result is shown
in the falling of the price coincident
with the increase of the production and
moreover the price OF manufactured
cotton keeps pace downward, also.
Since 1872 the American cotton crop has
and the price of both the
raw material and the printed cloth has
been quartered.
