THE GHOST IN HAMLET"

Dr. Maurice +. Egan gave his third
lecture OF the Shakesperean series before
the Catholic Reading Circle in the New
Century Club drawingroom last evening.
As an introduction to "The Ghost in Ham
let" DR.. Temple of St. Paul's r. G. Church
read tho ghost scene which contains
many famous and oft quoted lines. DIR.
Egan holds that the supernatural in Ham
let is the raison d etre Of the play. Ham
let with Hamlet left out is no greater para
dox than Hamlet without the ghost
That the spirit was real and not an hal
lucination Of Hamlet's brain, Shakes
peare shows by having il seen and heard
by the soldiers and Horatio, the one we'll
balanced man in the play, master Of him
self and his will The spiritual or ghost
motif is dependent on its relation to the
prevailing conditions in the Sixteenth
Century England.
There is no inconsistency" said Dr.
Egan, 'in the fear which the soldiers
showed when the ghost appeared. The
soldiers were drawn from the common
people who believed in spectres and
fairies. The times were contemporary
with the burning of witches in America.
In addition rumOrs OF foul play were
abroad. In that century the marriage
OF a widow TO her dead husbands brother
was a crime All Elizabethan England
understood, what we must discover by
studying the time Upon no other play
IS It so absolutely necessary to throw the
light of its own century.
The divine right Of kings held sway in
England then. 1t was as a king that the
elder Hamlet appeared, his message was
an imperial one-the salvation OF Dem
mark by the removal Of Claudius from
the throne. His attitude is not vindic-
tive and he does not want the queen pun
ished. His first outburst is 1.-THE cry of d
tortured soul, one dying unshriven, who
must wander in purgatory, the middle
state between heaven and hell.
In that age it would have been consid-
cred the legitimate thing for Hamlet to
kill Claudius. But Hamlet did not under
stand that justice, not crime, was desired.
90 all you host Of heavenl
Oearthi What else
And shall ] couple hell 2n
From the time Hamlet exclaims that.
he couples hell he ceases to believe and
love, he only feels and has a fearof action.
he is passions slave He is coward
about saving his country, which as the
utlif nc HuoulQ het uDOuis Inc reNela-
tions of the occult spirit break the strings
Of Hamlets heart and soul He is over
wrought by a iendish desire to send
Claudius to the fires Of hell and for that
reason does not dispatch him in the ora
tory. Hamlet dies q failure.
Hamlet as q psychological study is
more inspired than any literature outside
the Bible. Il is a wonderfully modu-
lated, carefully formed, artistic tragedy.
Three most charming and delightful
musical numbers accompanied the lee
ture. Softly Falls the Moonlight and
"Ihe Last Rose of Summer" were sung
by the quartet comprising Mr. and Mrs.
Preston Miss Taggart, Mr. de Luca. Mrs.
Preston sang solo Sing Me to Sleep. 4"

Parker's Bad Advice.

Judge Alton B. Parker has just
returned to his, home from q tOur
Of the Southern States. In his
several speeches he advised the
Democrats Of this section TO take
the leadership Of the party and 60
to housekeeping, politically speak
ing, for themselves. He drew
such pathetic pictures Of the Ia.
mentable state Of the party In the
North and West, admitting that
the organization il liieless and
leaderless, and that eight out Of
ten Of the. young men Of the conn
try are joining the so.called party
Of progress.
One would have supposed that
after Judge Parker's conspicuous
demonstration Of his own incapac-
lily a. q political Moses two years
ago, be would have felt the pro-
priety, II not the absolute neces-
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1906-04-04

sity, Of his retirement to the
shades Of dignifed obscnrity; and
leaving the task of reviving the
moribund Democracy to stronger
hands, or at least to men who
have not yet recorded an ignomin-
ious failure. However, aside
from the past, his present advice
to the South is even worse than
his feeble leadership. The South
tried setting up housekeeping on
it's own hook by force of arms,
and suffered sorely from the ill.,
advised experiment. The conSe
quences Of arraying itself against
the rest Of the Union politically
would be scarcely less disastrous.
The overwhelming prepOnderance
OF power in the Northern and
Western States renders the at:
tempt utterly futile and hopeless
in advance.
In truth and in fact, the shortest
road to political and material adj
vancement in the South is to
never support a man unless he
has good principles and to co.
operate with the best Of other
sections Of the country in princi-
pies and policies that will make
the nation bigger and better as
whole. 1t needs an expansion OF
its cotton trade, and the quicken
ing impulse of capital, but para
mount to all it must be (and is)
positive, affirmative force in the
Union in order that it's needs may
be recognized and receive proper
consideration. For nearly half
century the South has been true
to the Northern Democracy with
the result that it has been all this
time political cipher. 1t is high
time for a change, but instead of
reducing itself to still lower terms
of impotent negation, as Judge
Parker suggests the South should
bury bygone issues and take it's
rightful place on the side of prog
ress. The South is the home of a
splendid citizenship, AS truly pa.
triotic to-day as any part of the
country, and there is no longer
any reason or sentiment which
should cause it to stand aloof from
les sister states.

THE CUSTOMARY IRISH WAY
Contest of Wits That Resulted in a
Division of the Prize
Money.

Patrick was always twitting Michael
upon his lack of education. One day,
in the presence of their squire, Pat
rick dared Michael to a contest of
wits. Each was to compose verse
of two lines, and the squire was to
Judge between them. To add further
zest to the contest the squire offered
a pound to the winner, relates the
Minneapolis Journal.
Patrick went home to his faithful
Bridget and told her about it. Be-
tween them this literary gem was con-
cocted:
Her name was Dottie Dimple.
On her nose she had a pimple.'
Michael also went home to his wife.
She laughed at the ease with which
he could overcome Patrick, winning
glory and the pound at the same time.
Sure, and just say:
ION yonder hill Inere stands a mill,
If 1t hasn't fallen. it's there STILL"
On the great day, the contestants
met In the presence of half the coun-
try-side, each backed by his friends.
Michael, terribly embarrassed, got
up, made schoolboy bow and STAN
mered forth:
ION yonder hill there stands a mill,
II 1t hasn't fallen, It's there yet"
Amid roar Of laughter he sat down
wondering what could be wrong.
Then Patrick with much dignity
arose and said, proudly:
Her name was Dottie Dimple,
On her nose she had a war-rt"
There was a wild shout and Patrick
also retired crestfallen. But the squire
in consideration OF their manifest Of
forts divided the pound between them.

Diplomats Are Aroused.

Some Of our ambassadors and
officers Of legations are taking a
lively interest in the agitation be-
fore congress to renovate the d.
plomatic and consular system and
institute such reforms as transfers
and promotions, recognition OF
merit, elimination Of politics, per
manency Of Office, increased sal
aries, legation houses, etc., says
the Kansas City Journal. IN
questionably the diplomatic ser.
vice offers little inducement to
men Of ability and fitness to enter
it as a career. Indeed in many
posts, and especially in some Of
the smaller European capitals, our
diplomats are the butts of many
jokes. They are not taken Sc
rionsly abroad because here at
home we do not more than half
take them seriously.
Aside from the confessed self
interest these agents CT the gov
eminent have in an improved SER
vice, their views should be vel.
coined 10 the general discussion
as affording an important point OF
view. With our expanding COM
merce involving the country's re-
latiOns with all the larger govern
ment OF the earth come demands
for higher standards OfrepreseDta-
ton. While diplomacy is be-
coming more and more a matter
of legislation and commissions,
the consular branch is expanding
in influence and dignity. We
have no professional diplomats
in this country, but the President
finds little difficulty in securing
able men fer the important posts.
The cable and fast ships and
railroads have brought a vast
change in matters Of diplomacy.
Formerly diplomats were clothed
with a great deal of power and
initiative. They were often
thrown on their own resources in
matters of urgency when they had
no time to send a letter to their
government and receive a reply.
Nowadays they. are more the
representatives Of the social
courtesy of this government to,
ward others than its political
agents. Diplomacy is matter
OF cabinet meetings, and the di.
plomat is becoming a mere ex-
allied messenger boy for the state
department.
However, if we are to maintain
a diplomatic and consular ser
vice, it is the duty Of the United
States to dignity it and make it
an attractive career for good men.
AS liberal as this country is in
every other way it is niggardly
in the pay Of it's pubic servants.
A secretary Of legation at 81, 500
q year cannot possibly maintain
himself and his family on a proper |
scale OF dignity and refinement.
The secretary who is continually |
harassed by financial problems in
order to keep the domestic ma
chinery in running order cannot
render his best service to his gov
eminent. As long as entertain
ing ls a recognized function OF
diplomacy our representatives
mugt be equipped to do their part.
We have neglected this obligation
long enough. Let congress either
raise the diplomatic and consular
system to its proper place or dis
continue foreign representation al
together. This nation cannot af-
ford to advertise itself abroad as
mean and neglectful Of it's SER
wants.
