sary properly to perceive the depth
and meaning of its ethical lessons.
1t thus follows that for a perfect
appreciation of the power and beauty
! of this great play one must see it acted.
But here, again. another difficulty
arises. Great as the play King Lear
is, it deals with situations so improb-
able, it supposeS character and con-
duct so unusual, it calls for the imper-
sonation of intellectual qualities so
closely bordering upon the fantastic
and grotesque. that unless acted with
consummate skill the play ceases to be
of the realm of serious drama and be-
comes absurd melodrama-
Only the greatest actors should play
in King Lear" Only the greatest
actors really can play it.
This difficulty was realized early in
the history of the play. We have no
evidence indeed that King Lear" was
ever popular in the form in which
Shakespeare wrote it until within COM
paratively recent times.
In 1851, three-quarters of a century
after the play was first written. there
was made version of the play. long
known, from the name of the person
who made it. as "Tate's version and
this King Lear is the only king
Lear that for nearly $50 years was
ever heard of.
The principal differences between the
amended version and the real version
were two. In Tate's King Lear" the
play ended happily: otherwise" says
the author. Il must have incumbered
the stage with dead bodies. which con-
duct makes many tragedies conclude
with unreasonable jests." In the
amended version. also. the part of the
Fool-one of the most delicately pathet-
ic but difficulty realiZable parts in the
whole Shakespearean repertoire-was
omitted.
When. then. we read of King Lear"
or of actors playing king Lea-'' in the
whole of the eighteenth century or in
the first two decades of the nineteenth
century. We must remember that it is
not Shakespeare's king Lear that is
meant. but Tate's or some other YER
sion of the play. Shakespeares great
creation was as yet but imperfectly I'M
derstood.
Though Betterton. Barton Booth and
Quin all played King Lear there does
not seem to have been any really great
king Lear" till Garrick's time. Then
there were two-Garrick himself and
Garrick's great rival, Spranger Barry.
In the year 1855 Barry began to play
King Lear" in Covent Garden. Gar
rick. with whom from the first the part
had been one of his very best, consid-
cred this a challenge and at once re-
sponded by reviving king Lear in
Drury Lane. London. and indeed all
literary England. became divided into
two camps-the believers in Garrick's
art and the believers in Barry's. Here
is one of the epigrams of the day:
The town has found out different ways
To praise the different Lears.
To Barry they give loud huzzas;
To Garrick-only tears
Here is another:
"A king-nay. every inch a king
Such Barry doth appear.
But Garricks quite another thing;
He's every inch King Lear
These Jeux d'esprit, of course, We're
favorable 10 Garriek, and. indeed. il
their point be founded on fact, and

Female Suffrage. -
(Chicago Tribune \


In country town in Florida recently
mere was an examination for applicants
Tor second grade teachers certificates in
colored school. One of the questions
asked for brief expression of the APP
pilcants opinion of female suffrage" A
young colored woman filled her blank
with an essay on Female Suffrage" Ii
begins; I'm regard to female suffrage
there are thousands of women who suffer
early and also daily. and l am compelled
to say that the greater part of their suf-
frage is brought by themselves"
The writer then specifies the various
causes of female suffrage" Women eat
too rapidly. have their meals too irregu-
larly, expose themselves too much. do not
have proper exercise or clothing ANY
one of these will bring about female suf-
rage She also thinks they would be
stronger if they regarded the laws of
health. Their treatment to the physical
body only goes to show to them that they
are doing too much If they would only
hear" And finally: Another great cause
OF female suffrage is trying TO keep up
with every new style or fashion that
comes about. whether it agrees with our
health or not. and that is indeed. a poor
way TO take care of the health

REFERRED TO sUBCOMMITTEE.
The Bill Extending the Tariff Laws of
the United States.

The Senate committee on finance held its
first meeting under the craftsmanship of
Senator Aidrich today. The new chairman
assumed his duties as if long accustomed
to them and dispatched business with his
customary VigOr. The committee discussed
for few minutes the bill extending the
tariff and internal revenue laws of the
United States to Hawaii but did not act
upon the bill beyond referring it to a sub
committee, consisting of Senators Platt of
Connecticut, Allison, Wolcott, Jones of Ar
kansas and Chiffon.
The discussion developed the fact that the
bill was considered important and the un-
derstanding is that the subcommittee Will
report promptly.
Senator Platt indicated in the discussion
a tendency to amend the bill so as to eX-
clude Hawaiian products from free access
to our markets, and Senator Jones antag-
onized this view unfair discrimina-
tiOn.
The committee authorized a favorable re-
port on the bill for the amendment of the
internal revenue laws relating to distilled
spirits, known as the outage bill, with
amendment. The bill extends the period
during which whisky spirits may remain in
bond without paying tax from four to
seven years.

portation Of spirits in tin cans inciosed in
wooden packages. This bill is largely in
the interest of shippers to the orient.
Senator Aldrich announced his intention
of going to Europe within the next few
days for the purpose of remaining three
or four months. He goes to secure a rest.
