This toast was heartily drunk and re-

excellent speech. He referred to the
Presidents ability, foresight, and
craftsmanship, and, in addition, to his
successful efforts in negotiating peace
between Japan and Russia. The cor

Britain and the United States were
dwelt upon, and he emphasized the
fact that the United States was for
peace every time, for the people there
were an industrial nation.

G.. Martha, the consul for Japan, and
in doing so praised the Japanese ma

LETTER AND CLIPPING PRINTED
BELOW TELL OF RECEPTION
IN HONOR OF HOLIDAY
Event Was Held In townsville,
Queensland, Austraia-George II.
Shelter Jr. Former Ottumwan, Parti.
cipates-Was Great Success.

Though probably there is no coun-
try, whose national holiday is so al
most universally celebrated by every
class of it's citizens as is the Fourth of
July event by the American people,
still it is doubtful if when one takes
part in a celebration in his home town
or city, he quite realizes what this gala
day might be made to mean to him.
Celebrating the Fourth is too much
a matter of course and it is seldom,
that the day brings to many hearts an
added patriotism in any marked de-
gree. But let that Fourth be celebrat-
ed by good Americans, while living on
some foreign strand; let the stars and
stripes that they salute on the joyous
occasion be floating in the air of some
foreign city; let the celebrators but
be residents of a strange country, and
that patriotism, which deep down in
the innermost PLACES turks in the
hearts of all Americans, rises to the
top, clear and strong.
The following letter and clipping,
which the Courier has just received,
tell of such an event which occurred
$4,000 miles from the coast line of the

resident of this place and we'll known

lished at Townsville, Queensland, Aus

American consul on the last national

PEPYS AS A PLAYGOER.

The Time When Women First Ap.
peared ON the English Stage.
In the methods of producing plays
Pepys' period of playgoing was coeval
with many most important innovations
which seriously affected the presenta-
ton of Shakespeare on the stage. The
chief was the substitution of women
for boys in female roles. During the
first few months of Pepys' theatrical
experience boys were still taking the
womcn's parts. That the practice sur
vived in the first days of Charles Ills
reign we know from the well worn an
ecdote that when the king sent behind
"Hamlet," which he had come to see,
was SO late in commencing he was an
swered that the queen was not yet
shaved. But In the opening month Of
1861, within five months Of his first
visit to theater, the reign of the boys
ended. On Jan. 8 of that year Pepys
writes that he first saw women come
upon the stage" Next night he makes
entry of boys performance Of wo-
mans part, and that is the final record
Of boys masquerading as women in
the English theater. l believe the prac-
tee now survives nowhere except in
Japan. This mode of representation
has always been a great puzzle to stu
dents of Elizabethan drama. It Ia
difficult to imagine what boys in
Shakespeare's day. IL they were any
thing like boys Of our own day. made
of such parts as Lady Macbeth or
Cleopatra. Before, however, Pepys
saw Shakespeare's work on the stage
the usurpation Of the boys was over.
1t was after the Restoration. too, mat
scenery, rich costume and scenic ma
chinery became, to Pepys' delight, reg
ular features Of the theater. When
the diarist saw Hamlet" dome with
scenes" for the first time he was most
favorably impressed. Musical accom-
paniment was known to prerestora-
ton days, but the orchestra was now
for the first time placed on the floor Of
the house in front Of the stage instead
of in a side gallery. The musical &C
compartment of plays developed very
rapidly, and the methods of opera were
applied to many of Shakespeare's
pieces, notably to 1.-THE Tempest" and
Macbeth. From "Pepys and Shake
speare," by Sidney Lee, in Fortnightly
Review.
