A NOVEL EXHIBITION.
Test of Fire EAtinguisher nj the
Chinese Legation.

The members of the household OF the
Chinese Minister were treated 10 novel
addition TO their New Year celebration
yesterday by the exhibition of a patent
fire eStinguisher in the yard OF the le-
cation building. This is in all probability
the first time In which fire extinguisher

Sometime since a patent fire extipguish-
er company opened headquarters in this

DR.. STAFFORD'S LECTURE.
His Eloquent Review of Shake
speare's Julius Caesar


Although the weather was -disagreeabie
last night, a large audience assembled at
the National Theatre TO hear Rev. Or.
Dennis J. Stafford deliver his lecture on
Julius Caesar
In the audience were many prominent
in social and literary life. among them
Speaker and Mrs. Henderson and Miss Hen
derson. Colonel and Mrs. Parker and Miss
Parker, Pay Inspector and Mrs. Rand and
Assistant Secretary Nanderlip.
DR.. Stafford commenced his lecture by
remarking on the greatness of Shakes
peare's genius as shown in the masterpiece,
'Julius Caesar" saying. so it took the
genius OF Shakespeare to touch with magic
the facts of the historian, and cause the
majesty of Rome 10 pass before us and
Marcus Brutus to stand before the world in
the incompatible and matchless beauty of
his character.
DIR. Stafford proceeded 10 define what he
considered the lesson Shakespeare at
tempted to bring out in his study CT Julius
Caesar. In Julius Caesar the poet gives
us the history and complete imaginative
study OF a man predestined 10 failure; who
brings ily his errors ruin and disaster upon
his cause, evils upon his country, a1d death
to his friends; who, nevertheless. by a
spotess integrity and stainless honor, wins.
Notwithstanding, the unadultersted and
boundless love OF our hearts, which no
failure, however disastrous. nor ruin, how
ever great, can in any wise lessen or di-
minish."
The speaker then discussed Shakes
peare's treatment of Caesar in the play.
He cited the opinion of many critics re-
garding The poets representation.
DIR. Stafford concluded his lecture with
an excellent estimate OF the character OF
Marc Antony. and in conclusion said:
Fer the man who lives up 10 his con-
science there is no failure. The man of
ideals alone is great, and the end will vim
dictate him.
He interpreted his lecture with recita-
tions from Julius Caessr," the solilonuy
of Antony over the body OF Caesar being
particularly fine.
