Shakespeare's Autograph.

From the London Chronicle.
In the matter OF variety in the spelling
of his name, as in other things, Shake
speare still stands pre-eminent. The
seventeen different ways of spelling Pepys
make a poor show compared with the
1000 in which, as a book published in
America in 1869. incidentally proved
Shakespeare can be spelt. Even the poet
himself seems to have had no settled
convictions on the subject. for his will
shows us his name spelt in two different
ways. and no two Of his extant signatures
agree.

To Test Maxim Silencer.
The bureau of ordnance of the War
Department has placed an order for sew
eral dozens of the Maxim gun ''silencer'
with the view of determining the advan-
tages to be gained by the use OF the in
vention under actual service conditions.
These will be sent to the school of mus
kerry at Monterey, Cal, TO be tried by
troops there.
The ''slencer' has already been tested
extensively by the ordnance experts with
respect to its effect on the velocity and
accuracy of fire. The present tests will
be made under service conditions to de-
termine how extensively the reports OF

Fine Record of Local Artillerists.
A notable record has been made in NOR

Coast Artillery Corps. on duty at Fort
Washington, Nd, near this city. The
company is commanded by Capt. Henry

Fort Monroe. The performance of this
company in the firing of Pinch NOR
tars beats a worlds record. It was not
many years ago that a mortar was con-
sidered as doing its duty when il was
fired once in five minutes. This time
has gradually been reduced. and the star

Commissioners to Choose.

The choice of the sites rests with the
District Commissioners. and they have
given no indication as to what locations
they prefer. 1t is understood. however.
that the geographical location and the
physical characteristics of the land Of
fered will be important considerations. 1t
will be the aim to get sites that are easily
accessible from the District courts. either
by railroad or by boat, as near the Dis
trict as possible; and yet the two sites
must be widely separated. 1t has been
suggested that II one site was on one
side Of the Potomac river and the second
on the opposite side they would be
widely separated within the meaning
of the law.
AS the time for the purchase of the
sites approaches there Is much discussion
of the disposal of the present site Of the
workhouse reservation on the banks of
the Eastern branch and Of the buildings
thereon. Following the recommended
tions Of the Jail commission. which have
been enacted into law. the present Jail
ton. But the workhouse buildings will
probably be removed. One Improvement
which this is expected to make possible
is the extension of Massachusetts avenue
southeast from 18th street. its present
eastern terminus, to the Eastern branch.
1t runs for some distance east of the east
bank of the stream, and 1t is proposed
to ultimately bridge the Eastern branch
along the route of Massachusetts, avenue.
Old Site May Be Parked.
The reservation is a large one. and some
have proposed that it be turned into a
park for the eastern end of the city. it
being already the property q the govern
ment. Another suggestion has been that
its sale for building purposes would net
funds for the erection of the new struc-
t,,res for tho housing of the nerSonS com-
mitted to the workhouse and reformatory.
AS the removal Of the workhouse will
mean the transfer Of its superintendent
to the new site, 1t is suggested that his
house near the present buildings be used
as the residence of the warden Of the
house OF detention. into which the Jail Is
to be turned.

MAY WAIT TILL MONDAY
Democratic Senators Can Have More
Time to Consider Tariff II They
Desire II.

Washington, April 1s.--Before the Sem
ate meets on Thursday there will be a
session OF the finance committee to de-
te~mine whether the majority will be
ready to take up general debate on the
tariff bill that day. From informal dis
tussion OF the bill between republican
ard democratic members the Indications
are that the minority will ask for an ex-
tension OF time until Monday OF next
week. II they should do so their request
would be granted by the republican lead
ers
Senator Aldrich will make a very brief
statement to the Senate when 1t meets
Thursday in which he will explain the
absence OF revenue producing features
IN the amendments to the House bill al
ready reported.
The message from the House asking
that the Payne bill be returned for cor
rection OF the petroleum schedule will be
received Thursday. In view Of the fact
that the bill has been referred to the
finance committee. amended and reported
hack to the Senate 1t IL not likely that
the bill will be permitted to go back 10
the House. Senate leaders take the posi-
ton that there Is no necessity for the re-
turn OF the bill to the House as the
finance committee intends to offer amend
schedule, which will entirely efface the
error which crept into the bill as the time
II was passed by the House.

didn't know whether half crown was

TWO DAYS COURSE IN FOREST
PLANTING.

Interest In forest planting has ic-
creased so rapidly IN Vermont since the
establishment Of the State Nursery two
years ago that 1t seems probable that this
Is to become a part Of the regular spring
farm operations. In spite Of the rapid
extension OF the nursery the supply Of
stock was SO largely taken up last year
by land owners Of the State that II has
been necessary TO import seedlings from
Germany this year. Experience with
this imported material in other parts
Of New England indicates that II Is fully
as satisfactory as that grown here.
These three year transplants are for sale
at between four and 1--WE dollars per
thousand or the state Nursery stock
