Wonders of a Japanese Hamlet.

Perhaps the most astonishing presen-
tation of Hamlet ever seen on any
stage was a Japanese version given by
native actors at Kobe. The Kobe Her
aid describes 1t as "A wonderful mix
ture Of the beautiful and the gro.
tesque. With an Ophella sometimes In
graceful kimono and sometimes In
western evening costume and king
who at one time appears in the pic
turesque costume of a japanese noble
man and at others dons silk hat and
swallowtai coat, the effect Is SO
Kaleidoscope that spectator has the
sensation of being perpetually trans
ferred from one phase of civilization
to another The climax Is reached In
Hamlet himself. who in the earlier
scenes wears the uniform Of student
Of the Imperial university. in the thir
act makes his appearance on bicycle.

His Personal influence and His Mill

In looking for the source of Lees
personal influence we have to go back,

spect which the people of the south

Of feeling of subservience, however,

mistakable and unself conscious dignity
about him. He always walked up to
and faced the highest with an air of
equality. No, this latent respect was
natural response on the part Of men of
low estate to good manners and Oft
displayed sympathy. Lee by his con-
nection through birth and marriage
with the Tost distinguished and best
families of Virginia represented the
superior class. Moreover that he was
Lee of Virginia and by marriage the
head of the Washington family had

Again, Nature in one of her moods
had made him the balanced product In
manners and looks of the well bred
and aristOcratic traditions Of the gen.
tleman transmitted and ingrafted at
an early age through the cavaliers into
Virginia life. But for his military
prowess he had something vastly more
efficacious than ancestry or filling the
mold Of well bred traditions. He had

THE MISSING TURK.
An Incident In the Stage Career of
Sarah Bernhsrdt.

An Incident In the Stage Career Of
Sarah Bernhsrdt.
Sarah Bernhard was once playing
at Marseilles in spectacular play In
which she made her entree accompa-
MED by six Turkish slaves. A line on
the program announced that these six
Turks would accompany Nine. Bern
hardt, but when the time came for
them to go on one of the youngsters
had disappeared. Sarah mustered the
five In order and made her entrance
with q grand flourish. The house was
crowded. but not a handicap greeted
her as she appeared. Then q still, small
voice in the gallery murmured some
thing in an indignant tone. Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain,
and in zen seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase.
Bernhardt strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about. She knew the phrase began
with "Manqne." but the rest Of 1t was
lost in the general bubbub. For full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah, muttering things below her
breath. rushed like fury down to the
footlights. In the front row the ac-
tress had spotted one man who was not
taking part in the hullabalOo. Pointing
az him. the actress exclaimed sternly:
"You seem to be the only sensible per-
son in the house. Tell me what on
earth they are kicking up this row
for?"
The man rose, bowed to the actress
and remarked in very bad American
French, madam. you are shy one

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Oct. 26.-Speculation- ill stocks showed clear evidence today of coming to q halting close, following the rather feverish nucuations of tho late markets This was a consequence of the persisting uncertainty over the money outlook, in spfre of the real TO- lief afforded by yesterdays develop ments ever the immediate prospect.
 It was a growing impression in the stock market circles that while the relief might be relied On to check the urgent pressure which the liquidation was beginning to show. it would be not discreet to attempt a renewal of important operations.
 The show of strength at scattered points was an insufficient offset. One such point was in the Hawley group and which was the subject of rumors of a coming consolidation said to in. volve consolidated mortgage issue. Further gold engagements for Brazil and withdrawals from the banks on sub-treasury operations were disturb. ing elements in the later market.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Oct, 26.--Additionai reces. sions In the price of cash wheat here and at other important centers in this coutnry caused considerable weak. ness in Che wheat here today.
 Toward the close, however, the market rallied on covering by shorts, final quotations being unchanged to 4 higher Coarse grain and provls- ions closed easy
 During the day prices ranged from 54Sc below to l4c above the closing figures of the previous day Shorts and bull leaders were active bidders late in the session and closed at al- most the top.
 The cash situation In this country was again the chief reason for the heavness which predominated the greater portion of the day.
 Clear, cool weather throughout the corn belt caused considerable weak. ness in the corn market.
 Extreme dullness marked the trad. ing in oats and prices moved within narrow range.
 Trade in provisions was on more extensive scale than witnessed for some time past, local packers being liberal sellers throughout the day. Selling was based on increased re- ceipts of live hogs at western pack ing centers. A heavy tone prevailed all day and at the close prices were l-2c higher to S5c lower.
