SHAKESPEARE UP TO DATE

The people of India are inveter-

large towns, where they have thea

whose plays they pad and adapt to
suit popular taste, precisely as q
Broadway manager would make
over a Sanscrit play if he were go

New York Tribune.
Villa and Sebastian are intro,
duced, not by means of a ship
wreck as per Shakespeare, but
through the medium of a railroad
smashup. The great central
Bombay station is first shown,
the trains made up with first, see

carriages.
Viola and Sebastian are seen to
hurry down the platform carrying
their dress suit cases and to set
tie themselves in one of the sec
ond-class cars. A later scene
shows their train crossing a lofty
railroad bridge. The bridge breaks
in two, letting them down into the
ravine below, and from the wreck
the two are saved by differenr
wrecking parties, who carry then

Eccentric Lady Who Hates HALE Snop

A certain eccentric North coun-

shop to make her extensive pur-
chases, wherever a man is to be
found behind the counter she uses
her utmost powers to persuade
him to adopt another calling, says
CasselPs.
"Why don't you join the ranksT'
she demanded, of a fine, well-built
young fellow, as she watched his
big fingers cutting off a yard of
ribbon. "This insipid calling is
draining you of all your manhood.
DO leave laces and ribbons, and
the rest of it, to women, and en-

"You are very good, madam, to
take such an interest in me-" the
shOpman replied, "but there's my
duty to the shop to consider"
'YOur duty to the shop" the
lady exclaimed. "What has your

CERMANYS SILENT SOLDIER
TaGturnity Of Moltke Is a Matter Of
Historical Comment-Uttered
Few Words.

The old Emperor William used
TO tell a story against himself
which well serves to illustrate
shat most gratuitous form Of err
ror, prophecy" When the emper-
or was only king of Prussia he saw
one day among his troops an IN
tidy looking lieutenant. Who is
that MANI" he asked. "An officer
who has just left the Danish serv-
ice and joined the Prussians," he
was told. 'sThat man will never
get on in the army" said the mon
arOh. And he used to add in tell
ing the story: "That man was
MOltke, and my judgment of him
gives you the measure of my in
sight"
The great man was always un-
pretending in looks and manner.
at one time when he was staying
at Ragatz for the baths he took a
long walk and stopped at a way
side inn for some refreshments.
"Bather at Ragatz, aren't your"
asked the landlord. Eyes" re-
piled the general. "MOltke is
there, isn't he?" queried the host.
"How does he lOOk?" "Well, he
looks much as you or | do" And
it was only by chance that the
landlord discovered his visitors
identity.
MOltke's taciturnity is a matter
Of history. 1t is said that as the
kings birthdays approached there
used to be bets among the army of
hoers as to the number of words
MOltke would use in proposing the
toast of the day. Some predicted
a nine-wOrd speech and others in
sisted that the number would bc
eight. The sentence usually ran
TO the health of his majesty EN-
perOr and king" or even ito his i'm
'perial majesty's health"

LIKED THE BISHOPS WAY.
Old Mountaineer Finds Priest a Fine
Hunter and a Better
Preacher.

Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky,
was much addicted to sport, espe-
cially liking to hunt and fish. Once
when on a shooting trip, the bish-
op CHANGED to fall in with an old
mOuntaineer who took a great
fancy to his new acquaintance,
whom he did not in the least sus-
pect was a bishop. When Bishop
Dudley was preparing for his re-
turn home he invited the old man
to visit Louisville so that he might
hear him preach, says the New
York Press.
"Preach?" gasped the old noun
taineer. "What, you preach! Kin
YOU preach as well as you kin
Shoot?'
"Much better" responded the
bishop, smilingly. "Be sure ia
come some Sunday. III see that
you get a good seat in front"
The old man availed himself OF
the invitation thus extended. Al
the conclusion of the service he
quickly sought out his friend the
bishop and grasped him by the
hand.

KEEPS HIS SUICIDE PROMISE.
W. ". Hooper Kills Himself ~ His Friend
Thompson Did.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20.-After shrink
ing for three days from the ful'lment OF
an agreement to kill himself which he had
made with his ohum Joseph A. Thomp
son, who committed suicide last Thurs
1ay, William Webster Hooper, member OF
a prominent Philadelphia family OF that
name, summoned up his nerve to-day and
drank cyanide of potassium in Paramount
Park. Hooper's body was found near
Strawberry Mansion, near the place
where Thompson killed himself with cyanide
Of potassium.
Aug. II, the day agreed upon for the
suicide OF both men, was the first ami
versary Of the death OF Hooper's wife.
Both Thompson and Hooper had decided
upon the drug and place In which to end
their lives. The men had been close friends
for twenty five years and both their lives
had been failures.
| Hooper's life since his marriage some
fifteen years ago had been one OF trouble;
left one wife and family behind him IN
Pittsburg before he fed to Philadelphia
and married the present Mrs. Thompson.
The fear Of discovery and his constant
poverty left him little relish for existence.

their disrupted home life. For fifteen

pIT'NGER SAILS TO-DAY.
Fitted with Eyebars So She May BE Brought
r. Tn II Disabled.

The submarine boat Plunger didn't leave
the Brooklyn navy yard yeste rday for
Oyster Bay as announced. After the yard
officers had looked her over yesterday
morning they thought it advisab BILE to touch
up the motors bit. She will leave at
o'clock this afternoon under convoy OF
the tug Apache. Lieut.. Charles P. Nelson,
the commander, said yesterday that she
would proceed under her own steam to
He'll Gate and be towed through that tur-
bulent channel.
II the water be smooth the Plunger will
hustle for herself up to Oyster Bay. Con-
oerning President Roosevelt, Lieut.. Nelson
said he did not think he would go beyond
inspecting the craft and witnessing her
movements from the deck Of the Sylph,
hut il he should decide to go down with
her his wishes would OF course be re-
spected.
The Plunger has big eyebars fore and aft.
In case she should become disabled while
below, hooks could be attached b them
and she could be brought up in fifteen
minutes. The placing Of the eyebars on
the craft ID the outcome Of the lesson
taught by the recent submarine disaster
in France. There was nothing on the
French boat to which chains might be
attached.
