Feature Of the new Game Law.

"Tne general game law passed by the
last legislature is creating wide interest.
IL is the first law that Virginia has
ever had that practically applies to all
the State alike. The new game law
makes marked and important changes
in the hunting season, and special pro-
lection is provided for iusectiyorous aud
song birds as we'll as game birds. This
feature was brought to public attention
yesterday by W. l.. LYMAN, State
game warden, who visited the store Of
a Richmond auctioueer and stopped the
sale Of mocking bird that had been
advertised. Mr. LYMAN Informed the
owner that he could hold the bird-an

The Itch for Interfering With

The Itch for Interfering With
Standard Creations in Literature.
From the London Globe.
This itch for interfering with the
recognized masterpieces of literature
is strange enough, but is no novelty.
The art of desecrating Shakespeare
adapting, the wise call twas a -four
ishing industry in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. The Shakespear-
ian plays were considered old-fash-
toned and out of date relics of a bar
barous age, and therefore they had to
be altered and tricked out and touch
ed up to suit the superfine taste Of
a restoration of a Georgian audience.
When Charles II regained his throne
and the theaters were once more pub
hcly patronized, the taste for the plays
OF the great age of the drama seemed
TO nave died out. Mr.. Pepys' words
when he went to see the Midsummer
Nights Dream" are memora BILE. He
declared it to be "the most insipid,
ridiculous play" that ever he saw In
his life. Dryden pandered to the pre-
Vailing degradation of taste, not only
in the comedies that came from his
own pen, but by taking liberties with
the older plays. He adapted" both
The Tempest'-a play also mangled
by his contemporary, Sir William Dav-
enant-and "Trollus and Cressida" for
the stage of his day In the preface
to the letters he gives reasons for i'm
proving" Shakespeare which read odd
ly nowadays MANY of his words"
says Dryden, land more of his phrases,
are scarce ineligible. And of those
which we understand, some are UNI
grammatical, others coarse; and his
whole style is so pestered with figura-
tive expressions that it is as affected
as it is obscure" And so the works
of the obscure and coarse and ingram
NAUTICAL William Shakespeare had to
be rewritten and touched up by John
Dryden for the ediflcation of playgo-
ers in the days of the late Stuarts.
Dryden laid his hands, too, upon Mil
ton, and produced an improved" YER
sion of part of the Paradise Lost
under the title of the State of limo
cence." The writer of a later date
who issued a prose version Of the
Paradise Lost,55 translated from
French rendering, in simple ignorance
of the existence of the English orlgl-
nal, erred more innocently. To Dry
den succeeded other decorators. The
poetaster Nahum Tate laid hands on
Macbeth" and published in 1881 an
edition of the tragedy, which was stat
ed on the title page to be written by
Mr.. Shakespear, with alterations by
Mr.. Tate!" Pope did not venture so
far as Mr.. Tate, but in his edition OF
the plays he took many unwarrant-
able liberties with the text-but that
is a weakness which has been shared
by other editors of the dramatist we

Shut Down of Charleston Plants
Due to Large stock Held.


Due to Large stock Held.
Charleston. S. c.. Aug. S.-W. B.
Chisolm, manager for the state of
South Carolina of the Virginia. Caro-
lima Chemical Company, to-day gave
out statement in regard to the va
rious rumOrs that have been set afloat
to the effect that mills of the company
here have shut down.
Mr.. Chisholm said that owing to the
large quantity of manufactured fer
tilizer held By the company the shut
down of its Charleston mills might be
more complete than it had been in for
mer summer months, but he denied
that there was anything unusual or
significant in the shut down of the
plants. He said he knew of no rea-
son for the heavy decline in the values
of the company's securities and he pre-
dicted a rapid recovery as soon as fall
operation was resumed with the ad-
vent of the coming season.
IL was commonly reported to-day
that three of the smaller local plants
of the Virginia. Carolina Chemical
Company had not shut down, but that
they would be dismantled 1t was

THIS IS A GYMKHANA.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

No, kind reader. a gyrnkhana is not
good to eat, nor is it something that
you wear. 1t is a. Well, here is a
gymkhana that is to be pulled off at
Easthampton, on this island. First YOU
put on your best clothes and drive a
goose in a race, the goose to be har-
messed and the course to be eighty
yards. No. it is not a human goose:
just a goose. Geese are like asses, pigs,
goats and reformers. in that they go
just where they are not expected to
Next you take part in a potato race
on horseback, riding to each of five
potatoes placed in line, dismounting,
returning and placing the spud in a
basket at the starting place. After
that, II you are a woman and have not
lost interest in gymkhanas, you are
eligible for the egg race. You are to
ride and carry an egg on a teaspoon
turn a flag without turning a somer-
sault and reach the place you started
from without having dropped the egg
The fifth event is a shirt race. Men
viii ride two hundred yards, hand their
shirts to women in attendance, the
women will sew buttons on the gar
ments, the men will put them on, re-
mount and the first one who gets back
VIII peat the OtnerS.
This gymkhana is to be for the
help of club. 1t already creates
much interest. 1t will create interest
in people who do not go. For it will
exhibit society at work, and society
so seldom works that the spectacle it
offers at a gymkhana is almost unpre-
cedented. Usually you hear of So
ciety eating. Occasionally society
drives. 1t dances. sedately and rheu-
matically, couple of times in a WIN
ter. And 1t goes to the opera. Chief
ly it dresses. But whatever it does.
the facts are related by the public
prints with portraits. And it's gynk-
hama will be illustrated, too.
People never quite come to voting
age on earth, do they? These women
and men who will drive geese and
hold horses while they have shirt but
tons sewn on and who will carry eggs
do any one of these stunts if thew had
no rivalry in the doing of them. They
are egged on to the performance by
an implied dare. And it is children
who accept dares, when nothing is TO
be accomplished by accepting them.
1t is plainly the duty of the gymkhan-
lists in Easthampton to maintain the
dignity of adult years, to attend con-
ferences on ethics as discovered in
the Zuni mythology, to listen to lee
lures on the significance of the swas-
tika as it figures in Oriental art. to
read Plato, to play Thoreau, to dine
solemnly on cold things, with water
and missionaries. Tush! Society has
to roll on the grass, same as grown
folks.

A City which Is Yet Beautiful. hut
Suggests Decay.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Under every mood in which 1 saw
the city there was a deeper mood,
which was hard to define to myself,
but which seemed. curiously compound
ed out of it's pathos and its squalor.
Venice is beautiful, and yet so pitifuL
a city where the peoples of the world
have hustled and traf1cked, that has
been a greater mart and cosmopolis
and now is neither, is more pathetic
in its decay than any other. 1t is like
the lonely and desolate old age of
woman in whose salon the wits and
beaux of a vanished time had paid
their court.
1t is unreasonable that any senti-
ment of disrespect at it's plight should
arise, and yet sometimes | felt it. To
vary the figure a little. the spectacle
of the fallen bride had in it something
tragic yet squalid, like the fate of
beautiful and high-born woman whom
passion or mischance had dragged down
to the life of the streets. l can I'M
derstand the wish which Howells had
expressed somewhere that the dead
cities of Italy might all be walled up
and left slowly to fall into ruins by
themselves. Their present estate is
not digni1ed, and the quest that
brings the tourist to them comes near
illustrating the indecency of curiosity.
The worst of all, so far as Venice is
concerned, is the feeling that the cup
of its humiliation is not yet full. Those
leaning church towers, those walls that
totter out of plumb, promise other
chapters in the story that began with
the fall of the Campanile. The sea
which Graded Venice may some time
be it's grave. Little by little, you
cannot but feel, these monuments will
crumble and disappear as the rotten
piles sag and snap under them. You
shrink from presaging the calamitous
and bitter day when every edifice shall
have melted away into moldering
heap, and the tides of the Adriatic, as
they sweep back and forth, will roll
across the slime that was Venice.
Something of this thought came to
me on my last. morning there. when 1
climbed tower only second in height
to that of st. Marks and looked down
on the city and the lagoons that en-
circled il. 1t lay there in the sunlight
beautiful, yet ruinous, smaller, than l
had imagined-indeed, about the size
and shape of Manhattan Island be-

the chimes were ringing, and the bells

city from the track of modern COM

start than the screams of the bats.
I'VE took soundings of the place by
dropping pebbles to see how far we
would fall if we should step into the
dark depths below. We ascertained by
this method that the next floor was
nearly 100 feet below us. We then
threw stones in every direction, and
came to the conclusion that the cav
ern had the proportions of a vast ca
thedral.
1--WE retraced our steps and found
a winding stairway that took us
down to the floor of the great grotto
which we had just left. No cathedral
ever had richer carvings or more beau
tifullv tinted walls than this dark
cave. Strange serpentine forms Of pet
rified snakes and lizards of divers
kinds were encrusted in the walls of
what resembled beds of delicately
tinted moss.
Rich mosaics of design and pat
tern as regular as if fashioned by man
after some geometrical plan covered
walls and pillars. Above us hung
great stalacties of snowy Wilderness,
resembling huge icicles.
A Statuary Hall.
1--WE next passed into a statuary hall.
We thought of the museum of the ruler
of Siam. The statues take many and
grotesque forms. We found many
strange shapes, carved. as it were, by
the hand of nature out of translucent
stone. A candle thrust into a small
chamber of the vast grotto revealed a
frostlike tracery of crystals on the
walls so delicate that it crumbles at
the touch of the fingers. At the, mar
row entrance to the south grotto is a
huge human face outlined on the wall.
Il threw a rope up a steep declivity
and it was caught on a short, stout
post, set on the edge of a terrace. At
the top of this terrace is another mar
vel of natures handiwork. Before US
stretched a gallery with an exquisitely
delicate pattern of lime crystals that
sparkled in the light of the candles like
frost in the sunlight. The floor was
as smooth as a billiard table. From
the roof hung stalactites, some long,
some short, others fiat, and still others
as thin as a shing1e.
still we passed on from alcove to
chamber, noting traces of a mysterious
beauty now done in brackets and again
in scroll work.
1.-THE last object to arouse our curl
osity was a giant toadstool like huge
umbrella, large enough to shelter a
dozen people under it. After passing
the toadstool the nature of the cavern
changes. There is a rapid descent to-
ward the bowels of the earth. The
white limestone gives way to blacken-
ed walls and the passage has the ap-
pearance of having been used as the
nue of a great furnace. Masses of
rock of different kinds appear fused
as by heat. A faint smell of sulphur
is noticeable.
1--WE reached the edge of a deep pit
and lowered lighted candles attached
to one end of three hundred feet of
rope in an effort to find the bottom.
1T took us several hours to retrace
our way from the caverns.''

This was the first time the men had
