Fanatical Preachers
Hold Meetings On
Streets.

Long-haired religious exhorters,
looking like old-time stage Mormons,
held down the street corner at the in
tersection of Fort and Hotel streets
last night. They Were types of the
otit-of-date extorters, of the fire and
birthstone kind, and seem to have
emerged from the mists of many dec
ades ago, when such preachers were
to be found roaming thef yilds of the
mainland.
These exhorters are headed by the
Rev. Mr.. Jeffries, father of Jim
Jeffries, the champion pugilist of the
world While Jim deals solar plexus
blows in the prize ring for money and
makes a pile of it, his old father
wanders about, letting his hair and
beard grow long wearing cheap
clothes, ranting at any kind of a
crowd that will gather about him, and
railing at filthy lucre. which Is but

A Question of Kn0vvledxe.

Two men in Kansas City were hay
ing heated argument concerning the
location of a certain >theater in New
York city. The one insisted that the
house stood on lower Broadway, while
the other was equally confident, that
1t was up town. Finally, the first man,
becoming angry, exclaimed: Perhaps
you think you know more about New
York than I do? How often have you
been there?" "Once," was the cpl
grammatic reply. WE'LL exclaimed
the other in triumph, 1--WE been there
five different times, and ought to
know more about it than you do"
The vanquished one was silent for a
moment. Presently he spoke with a
smile on his face: How long did you
stay in New York on each of tho five
visits you made?"' The other scratched
his head moment before replying, Gnd
said: "Well, each time I was there for
two or three days. How long did you
stay on the only visit you made?''
Seventeen years was the calm reply.
That ended the conversation. -snadae

There is no darkness but ignorance.
In the abbey, by the way, is another
representation of Shakespeare, known
to few and seen by fewer still. This is
Webber's poor monument to Garrick,
wherein the actor pushes aside the cur
tains, while above him hangs a me-
dallion bearing Shakespeare's head,
looking to the left. This head seems to
correspond, in some degree, with the
plate engraved by William Faithorne
the elder.
To Scheemakers' contemporary. Rou-
biliac, the great innovator who infused
life and realism into marble efligies
which in England had hitherto been, for
the most part, cold, lifeless and classical
ly formal, we owe one Of the most pic
turesque of sour Shakespeare statues
This work was executed by him as a
commission from David Garrick in 1858,
and was, by the actor, bequeathed to the
British museum, where it now stands
on the right-hand side of the hall. It
is curiously realistic in it's appeal to
popular approval J and is theatrical in its
conception rather than dignified. as be-
comes sculpture. The portrait, like that
by Scheemakers, favors the Chandos
likeness. AS to Roubiliac. he was
painted by Carpenters, in picture
wherein the sculptor is represented at
work on the model of this figure But
when all is said and done, it must be
admitted that the statue is the work
of an accomplished virtuoso with clay
and marble.
The only other public statues in Lon
don are those in the Poets Fountain in
Park Lane, comprising Shakespeare,
Chaucer, and Milton. executed by the
Thornycrofts, the father and his dis
tinguished son: and the figure OF Shake,

mortal. we believe. by Mr.. Armstead,

But the most ambitious of these works
tho most important in size. and the only
attempt to do justice to the poet in an
open space. is the memorial group set up
outside the theater in Stratford-ou-
Avon. This is the work Of the accom-
plished amateur, Lord Ronald Cover,
who, for the execution of it, retired to
Parts, and in due course produced this

Overworking a Typewriter.

'When a typewriter has been oper-
ated for several hours at a stretch it
becomes a center of electrical phenom-
ena." remarked stenographer.
"Touch it with something metallic
and you will get distinct shock At
the same time there will be a crack
ling sound and a spark will appear at
the point of contact. If another per-
son than the one who has been oper-
ating it should begin to pound the
keyboard after the machine has been
in continuous use for couple of hours
he will experience q real electrical SEN
sation, the pins-and-needles feeling of
a foot asleep. Drawing the sheet OF
paper off the roller rapidly will charge
the paper and it WILL crackle when laid
on other paper. It will also adhere
to the other sheets or TO any surface
with which it comes in contact and
quite little tug is necessary to loosen
it. A longworked typewriter seems
to become an electrical plant on a
small scale and will furnish all sorts
of surprises. "-Philadelphia Record

Still We cannot but feel that this is hut
fancy Shakespeare after all To these
should be added the bust by Stevens
Page, presented to Stratford-on-Avon
Nine. Sarah Bernhard said the other
day that if every man. woman and child
who had received delight from Shake
speare would contribute but few sous
each, all the money necessary for the
act of universal homage would soon be
collected. Some foreign nations have
not waited for this moment to honor
Shakespeare's memory by statues Of
their own. In 1872 the statue by MI ].
Q. A. Ward was erected in Central park,

holding book, the poet stands in
thought; but the legs are weak, and the
head and face are not sufficiently mas
sive in f0rm1Or firm in expression to sug.
gest the mighty intellect Of the master.
Chicago was not long behind New York
in claiming her share in the national
heritage. In 1886 the late Mr.. Samuel
johnson bequeathed a sum of money
for the purpose OF setting up statue to
Shakespeare in his city, and the seated
figure of the poet may now be seen in
Lincoln park. 1t is certainly far better
conceived than that of New York, for
here is man who appeals to the mag
ination of what Shakespeare might have
been, though it would scarcely satisfy
the shades of Droeshout or of Jansen.
We may regret the dreadfully monde
script character, the chair. and the pro-
fusion, unmeaning except on sculptural
grounds, of the drapery: but the statue
as whole. cast in bronze. reflects credit
on the sculptor, Mr.. William Ordway
Partridge, of Boston. 1t should be stat
ed that our photograph is taken from the
plaster cast. Inevitably, perhaps. the
statue which was so gracefully erected
in Paris in 1888 by an admirer," at the
junction of the Boulevard Haussmann
and the Avenue de Messine. lacks some
thing Of the dignity we expect. Yet tho
statue, wrought in bronze by Paul Four
nier, is thoroughly accomplished work
of art.
