Bradstreet's says: THE weeks de-

many lines for some time. Buying is
not so confident, and smaller quand-
ties are taken than year ago at this
time. Actual needs, which, after all,

dominates demand. Good and poor
reports combine to give an appear
ance of irregularity to general trade
as whole. Railway gross earnings
are more moderate than earlier in the
year, but still reflect good gains in the
volume of traffic over year ago. Car
shortages are not complained Of much

Harry Leighton Coming In "otheIIo"


Love. duplicity, honor and crafti-
ness run riot through "Othello" I'M
duestionably the most melodramatic
of all Shakespearean works. yet withal
il is one of the most interesting life
plays the Bard of Avon ever gave to
the world. 1t more nearly approach
es the melodramatic in tone, action.
plot and situations than any of his
other numerous works and three of the
characters in it, Othello. Desdemona
and Iago have enough intrinsic worth
in them to satisfy the most exacting
i'm their demands for life, virility, ac-
ton.
There is much modern realism in the
story of the love of Othello Moor. for
the Venetian maiden Desdemona, and
of the plotting. trickery. chicanery and
subterfuges adopted and practiced by
the scheming Iago, one of the great
est Villains ever seen upon the stage.
There is even a tinge of latter day love-
making in the story, for men and wo-
men are alike in most particulars re-
CARELESS of the period.
Though acknowledged as one of the
greatest of all Shakespeare's works
'Othello'' is to be essayed by but two
artists this year: Salvini who comes
from Rome for a brief tour. and Har-
~ Leighton. formerly star of the Froh-
man Lyceum Theatre successes. "Pris-
oner of Zenda." Rupert of Hentzau."
etc. etc. Mr.. Leighton will be sup
ported by Miss Florence Gale as Des-
demona and an excellent company, with

with interviews with several men in
Guiding the irrepressible C. H. Daven-

action of the Brattleboro commission
ers had a healthy influence through the
county. No sentiment favoring the
repeal of the present statute is evident
to the writer. but Brattleboro may pos
sibly swing into the dry column. The

Cincinnati Captain Says JmpIres
Have Too Much Power.

Cincinnati Captain Says Jmpires
Have Too Much Power.
Captain Manager Joe Kelley OF the
Cincinnati team is of the opinion that
the officials of the National league have
given their umpires too much power in
the matter of dfsciplining players, and
that the instructions to ufhpires should
be modified bit. .'Some of these UNI
pires on the National league staff are
using the power given them by the
magnates to cover up their shortcom-
ings as judges of play" said Manager
Kelley recently.
ut is a fact that in the old days
many players would shift the blame
for their bad plays on the umpires by
objecting to decisions that were entire
ly correct, and if so accepted by the
public would bring the wrath of the
spectators down on the umpire in
volved in the play.
Evidently the umpires have bene-
tilted by those early day practices, for
they are now working them in a re-
versed form, with the result that the
mistakes of the umpires are placed on
the players. 1t Is not natural for a
man when he sees that he is getting
the worst of it to submit tamely to be-
ing deprived of his prospects and
rights through the shortsightedness or
poor judgment of an umpire.
Perhaps in some cases the language
used is too severe, in which retirement
from the game is a just punishment,
but when a man objects in a mild way
to bad decision it is rather hard to
field"
