The of the compilers of these selections
from the Old and New Testaments may surprise
many people They Benjamin Jowett and A
G. Swinburne, whose names do not appear on the
title page though they were, in fact together with
the Rev. j. W. Rogers. responsible for the Whole
work. But Rogers had really very little to do with
the selection He at first undertook the task az
the request of Mr. Longman; but finding himself
unequal to what he had undertaken, he consulted
project and both with advice and devotion rendered
great assistance, enabling me to bring out the
work in it's present shape The selection was
mainly made by Jowett in the long vacation of
1872. Swnburne with him during part of the
vacation, and helped the Master in the choice of
suitable passages. The authorized Life of Jowett
by Abbott and Campbell records that the selection
practically made by the Master VINO spent
much time It, and availed himself Of the kind
OF friends in revising his own work, and not
the least of Mr.. Swinburne- Swinburne tells us how
JOwett increased the of the selections at his
suggestion, and said with smile: Il wanted you

Every historical reference to Master William
Shakespeare and his kinsmen is a thing to be
treasured, our knowledge of them being at
the best scanty. Therefore il is well to note
that at the annual Court Leet held in the town
hall at Alcester last month the present High
Railiff reported interesting discovery Ihe
first Court Leet was held in Alcester in 1z99'
and on examination of the records he found
that in 1a3O the High Bailiff was Thomas Shake
speare and an examination of his will showed
that there was no doubt that he was an uncle
of the immortal bard.

M'KOWN
After The PLACE
State Senator is a Candidate
to Succeed Warden Charles
Haddox, Deceased.

Senator e. W. McKown, of Roane
county, is an applicant for the posi-
ton of warden of the West Virginia
penItentiary, made vacant by the
death of c. E. Haddox last week.
1t is known that Senator McKown
is one of Governor Dawson's warmest
friends and that the governor can
not but help favor the application of
the Roane county senator. Every
since Governor Dawson has been in
public life Senator McKown has been
his staunch supporter and through
his influence the governor has been
able to put into practice many of his
ideas.
The position that Senator McKown
seeks is one of the most responsible
in the state. Under the able super
vision of Mr.. Haddox the West yir-
ginia penitentlary has been one of the
best equipped institutions in the
United States. The latest and most
modern methods are employed and
the government of the prisoners very
fair.
Senator McKown is man of wide
experience in public affairs. He is
also well acquainted with the public
institutions of the state. He was
chairman of the joint legislative COM
mittee that recently investigated the
public institutions of the state.
