Sums of Money.

New York, July l1.-Suit for the
recovery Of large sums of money
which were paid to his stationery firm
through alleged erroneous vouchers
was begun against Islander W. Law
renee by the Mutual Life Insurance
company yesterday. 1t Is believed
this suit may involve over 100000.
Complaints were served yesterday in
suits brought by the Mutual Life
against Robert S. Grannis, former
vice president and trustee, and Walter
r. Gillette, former treasurer and trus-
tee of the company. 1t Is alleged
against Granms ihat he omitted to
scrutinize vouchers which were sub
mitted to him and negligently and
carelessly approved many vouchers
which represented money paid for
services not authorized The dam
ages suffered by the company because
of these acts amounted it Is alleged,

Grannis 1t is charged that he partici-
pated In making of payments out If

ing 500, 500 to defray the expenses OF
campaign contributions to political
parties.
Altogether five cases of action
against Grannis are set forth, and
the total amount for which judgment
Is asked against him is $9175O0 with
interest.
The complaint against Gillette al
leges that he received from time to
time large sums of money as to which
no entries appear in the books of tho
company that he made expenditures
out of these moneys, the items of
which are for the most part unknown
to the plaintiff.

VARIETIES OF CRAMPS.

One of the curious consequences OF
the modern division OF labor is the
cramp that attacks those who con.
stantly use their hands in one partia.
ular manner.
Writing Cramp was the first to ap.
lhar, being quite unknown until the
introduction of steel pens. 1t affects
men far oftener than the fair sex, and,
singularly, those who suffer are not
literary men, but copysts. 1t is al
most incurable, and even when the
left hand Is used the cramp very soon
crosses over to 1t.
Musicians OF every kind are at
tackled. Among pianists It. Is chiefly
ladies ambitious to become profession
ais who are the Victims Violent
pain, weakness and fatigue of the arm
make playing an impossbility, VIC
linlsts are affected both In the fingers
of the left hand and in the hand that
holds the bow. Clarinet players get
cramps of the tongue and flute players
get "A Cramp of the larynX,
leleBrAphers suffer very often, and
they call it loss of the grip" Tailors
get cramps in the legs as we'll as
hands. Smiths and carpenters get
what Is called hammer cramp," re-
sultIng from the enormous number Of
blows struck. 1t is estimated that a
forger of knives and scissors strikes
$4,000 blows every day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand,
especially in the case OF those who
break in hardmouthed horses. Cigar.
makers, matchmakers, photographers,
auctioneers, sawyors, billiard players,
dentists, turner's, stampers, weavers,
painters, money counters and ballet
dancers--all suffer from their own
peculiar cramps, and often so severely
that they have to exchange their EN-.
ployment for some other.

Do We Love Shakespeare2

1t would seem, indeed, from the
condition Of Shakespeare on our stage
that we all got enough of him in
school. A big noise is made on the
occasion Of big priced production by
a big advertised star, but the full
house refutes the charge that Ameri-
cans do not love Shakespeare. 1t
does no such thing. 1t refutes moth
ing but the supposition that Ameri-
cans love anything so much as big
ness. To take the monetary success
of occasional and extraordinary per-
formances, appealing to our liking for
the unusual and the demonstrative,
as indicative of love, suggests that we
no longer know what love is. Love or
Shakespeare on the stage would mean
the success of frequent, ordinary per-
formances in every town large enough
for a high school and a theater. Such,
for instance, as the love of Wagner in
Germany. Or, again, of Shakespeare
For it is not only in her own drama
fist, but in ours as well, that Germany
can teach us what art-love is. The APP
probation of Shakespeare is far more
general and genuine there than here.
continuousness of his success, de-
spite the lack of all bigness and eclat
shows that it is Shakespeare that is
loved. But then, what. could one ex-
pect? The Germans do not, like us,

No Fear of Its Returning.

DR. John V. Shoemaker, the we'll

After indicating several cases where
supposed incurables had been cured,
Dr.. Shoemaker said:

there may be, for all We know, enough
euthanasia as 1t is. You've heard the
story of the man and the Aberdeen
terrier?
There was man whose wife had
an Aberdeen terrier of extreme feroc'
ity. 1t bit the man number o;
times. He expressed great hatred for
it.
Finally the terrier bit large piece
out of the calf of the mans leg, and
the next day it disappeared,
The man advertised widely for the

that you hated that dog?'
I do the man admitted.
Why. then, do you offer such
large reward for its RETURN?
To please my wife.

Ibsen and the Analo-Saxon.


One reason may be suggested for
the curious grudge which English.
speaking criticism of the second
order, continues to bear against Ibsen.
His moral anger, his violent appeal to
the conscience, are with difficulty
understood by those who have grown
up in the atmosphere of Anglo-SaXon
optimism. Americans and English
with extreme difficulty the idea that
their national characteristics are
capable of improvement. That poet
should want to diagnose the diseases
of Gods own country" when 1t is Oh
viOus that there can be no diseases
there, seems so preposterOus as to rob
the satire of interest. No one could
successfully attack the conventions OF
either of the Anglo,SaXon nations ex-
cept under the disguise of gross ma.
tional llattery, such as Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling practices, because in no other
way could he secure any attention.
The Germanic and Scandinavian races
are less confident of their virtues,
and more amenable to reflection, and
they will sit through a performance
of such a drama as The Wild Duck,
asking themselves how it affects their
inner nature, and what message 1t
has to their souls. The American or
English audience merely says
What funny people! Do you sup,
pose they are intended to be funny
