the Court of Appeals to-day a deci-
sion was handed down in the Lam
bert habeus corpus Casa test case

tutional. The court was unanimous.

THIRTY
SHAKESPEARE EVENINGS.



Another theory, and the most plausible,
is that Shakespeare wrote the story OF
Marina as Il stands in the last three acts
or 'Pericles." emitting the prose scenes
and the parts given to Cover: but in
stead Of filling IL out 20 the fun measure
of a five-act play he left 1t unfinished.
Later II somehow got into the hands OF
George wilkins, who wrote the first two
acts; but the non-Shakespearean parts Of
the rest of the play appear TO be the
work OF another writer, perhaps W. Row
ley, who was a partner OF wilkins in an
otner dramatic venture of the same poor
sort The play thus completed was en-
tered with no authors namel on the sta
toners Registers in l6oS, but its imme-
date publication was stayed" and in
the same year Wilkins brought out a
prose version of the story. the title page
or which seems 10 claim a share al least
IN the authorship of the play, being in
part as follows: THE Painful Adventures
of Pericles. Prince of Tyre being the
True History of the Play of Pericles, as
IL was Lately Presented by the Worthy
and Ancient Poet. John Cover" The
next year 1900 a quarto edition OF the
play was published. with Shakespeare

ducing territory of copper as well as OF
gold. Seattle should be the point where
these rich ores should be reduced to fine
copper, ready for the market, including a
rolling mill for copperplate and copper
