THE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE-THE TRAG.

pany. o'A'-
There Is some confusion attendant unon
the appearance Of this volume of what ts
announced by the Indianapolis publishers az
THE Dowden Shakespeare" Bearing the
imprint OF the American house, It is also
ascribed to an Edinburgh press. Indicating
tnat II Is being handled in this country
simultaneously with its appearance In Great
Britain. Although described in the accom-
panying announcements as the editorial
product Of Edward Dowden, the famous
Sfakespearan scholar. the individual vol
ume bears no reference whatever to him.
Lear coming from the editorial pen OF
W. j. Craig, who Is not identified as being
especially qualified for this particular task
It would have been more satisfactory had
the individual parts Of so Interesting an
edition borne. the mark of the scholarshin
OF Dr: Dowden. The purpose of the edition
is to furnish a Shakespeare, each play con-
stituting a volume. which will strike a
happy medium in the presentation Of notes
for the explanation and discussion of the
text and will not take undue liberties. The
paper used In the book itself Is far from
satisfactory. the evident care of prepara-
ton warranting better medium.

THE WILD FowLERS: or Sporting Scenes and
Characters Of the Great Jagccn By Charles
Bradford. author OF The Determined Angler" ="
New York: O. p. Putnam's Sons. Washing
ton: Woodward and LCthrOp.
These sketches of wild-fowl shooting I'm
the Great South bay, Long Island. are in
teresting to more than the devotees of that
sport, for they tell of the game with a Vi
vacity almost as entertaining as fiction.
The practical hints as TO the selection and
use of weapons are associated with the mar
rative of experiences in a manner TO dis
guise their technicality, while the sports
men engaged in the scenes depicted discuss
the ethics of wild-fowl shooting instruc-
lively. The lesson of the book is that there
is need of wiser laws for the protection OF
food birds in the region frequented 10y
them. Discussing a moot point to the
gauge of bird shot Seth Fielding of the
story says: "AIl men are not alike i'm their
consideration of wild-fowling. l thlnk
all gentle Sportsmen will approve of my
idea of the sport. but all men who use shot
guns are not sportsmen. any mere than the
bungler who fishes with chalk line and 2
horseshoe sinker may be termed an angler.
No sportsman of today cares to bring down
more than one bird with each barrel. and
an ounce of shot is all that any decent gua-
ner need use for that purpose" The book
is couched throughout in this spirit OF pro-
test against wanton destructiveness.

The New England spirit knows no death.
1t survived through the trials Of the early
colonial days. against elemental and human
foes; it established the lines Of the later
liberty which was to develop the wonder
ful nation of today; 1t spread its influence
into every part of the great commonwealth
of states, and today, wherever trace of it
exists, it makes itself heard and felt.
Where two or three New Englanders as
semble, the old spirit Of pioneering and of
reverence for the past bespeaks itself. The
New England Society of New York is per-
haps the strongest exponent of this trait,
for the metropolis contains many thousands
OF the sons Of the northeast ern section,
who, although assimilated by the cosmo-
politan aggregation, retain their love for
their birthplace and seek periodically to
keep alive the ideals among the younger
members of the New England fraternity.
The occasional gatherings Of this society
have permitted the deliverance Of many
scholarly discourSes. by men of consequence
not alone in New England but in the whole
nation. Stripped from their immediate set
ting, considered as the products of the New
England mind, they are of distinct worth
in the composition Of the intellectual life of
the great city, and their preservation is
warranted if alone by reason Of the fact
that they contain the higher elements of
literature. Their appeal is not necessarily
limited to New Englanders, although per-
haps the people of that section may read
them with keener appreciation of their
spirit and the unwayering love of place
and tradition which animates them They
come, as presented in these two beautifully
printed volumes. from the lips OF such men
as Leonard Bacon. Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Rufus Choate, Marie Hopkins Robert C.
Winthrop. Daniel Webster, William Adams
George p. Marsh, Oliver Wendell Holmes
William Cullen Bryant, Richard Salter
Storrs, William NJ. Evarts, j. Prescott Hall
and George William Curtis In addition to
this prose, the poem of John Pierpont on
1.-The Pilgrims of Plymouth" regarded by
some New Englanders as an American epic
Is included. Edmund Clarence Stedman

BOLD ROBBER IN SLXTH-A We.
HE SMASHES WINDOW WITH STONE.
GRABS JEWELRY WORTH $4,000
AND ESCAPES.

While throngs were passing up and down
Sixth-ave. near Twenty -eghth-st. yesterday
about p. m. a we'll dressed young man threw
a huge paving stone through the plate glass
in the show window of Edward Bergers loan
office and jewelry store, at No. AGO Sixth-ave.
While people looked on in sheer amazement he
reached through the shattered glass and gath
cred up jewelry valued at about $4,000 which
was displayed in the window. He succeeded in
escaping with this. and the detective force of the
West Thirtieth-st. police station are looking for
him.
Miss Kate Stone the cashier in Berger's store.
saw him approach the window. He appeared to
be about 3 feet inches tall, was broad shoul-
dered and had black hair and smooth face.
He looked into the window for a few minutes.
with his hands behind his back, Suddenly he
swung his hands in front of him. and in one Of
them was a big paving stone. He grabbed it
with his other hand. and then swinging it above
his head dashed it at the window
The glass was entirely shattered. and fell to
the pavement with a great crash. The stone
was thrown with such force that it came near
hitting Miss Stone The noise of the falling glass
attracted the attention of the people in the
street, and as they turned to the window they
saw a man grabbing everything in sight in the
window and stuffing 1T in his coat pockets. Be
fore any of the crowd thought to act or restrain
him the dashed UP Sixth-ave. and ap
parently up the stairs of the uptown elevated
station.
Joseph Field a clerk in Berger's store, ran to
the front of the store in time to see the thief
run He followed him, and ran up the elevated
station stairs. Just as he reached the platform
upbound train pulled in. and he boarded ii.
He went through the train, but could find no
who looked like the man that had commit
ted the robbery. 1t is his belief that the rob-
Der, after running up the stairs. cut across and
ran down the downtown stairs of the same sta
ton. Among the jewelry stolen was diamond
necklace valued at $4,000. diamond rings and
earrings.
Captain Sheehan of the West Thirtieth-st.
station detailed all his available detectives on
the case A general alarm was sent out to all
precincts.
