Deroits two runs in the fourth in

fans laid Iseman out on the seats. DR..
S. Clifford Cox, who was roofing for
McAleer's men, was attracted by the
confusion and hurried TO the stricken

It took considerable massaging of Ise-
mans arms, face, and body before he
showed signs Of returning consciousness.
When he revived he was so weak that he
could not walk. He wss sent home in an

Esperantists OF the world IN session
here were disappointed by the announce
ment yesterday that Cherie stoner
daughter Of a United States army sur
geon. who astounded the Esperanto
world a year ago. would not be present
Cherie, who was then only six years Old
wrote poetry IN Esperanto while sitting
on high chair at a typewriter sur
rounded by a gathering at an American
Chautauqua.
Cherie not only speaks Esperanto. but
reads 1t and writes IT, Translating sim
pie English into the new tongue for her
friends IS her especial delight.
Her Esperanto POemIet.
Her most wonderful achievement was
writing childish verse in Esperanto. It
reads as follows:
Hundido xmas bow. WOW. wow
katidO k-ias msw, new. new
kolumt9 krias ocO. COO. COO.
B0Yido xmas moo. MOO moo
Shahdo kias bN baA baa,
Iniano krias ma, ma. ma!
Hundido means puppy: katido, kitten:
kolumbo, dove; bovido, calf; shafido,
lamb, and tnfano. baby. Krias means
cries Here the characteristic language
OF the babe and each animal Is harmoni-
ously brought out.
Why She COuIdn't Come.
Cherries father is DIT. Sackville-StonAr.
L. S. A. who is now stationed az Fort
Townsend. Wash. This explains Cherries
absence from among her other CO.'S
perantists at the great gathering in
Washington. Her parents could not
come here. and she was too young 10
come alone.
The surgeon first introduced Cherie 10
the mysteries Of the great tongue Of
hope" when she was but four years old.
and when she was Just breaking her way
into English. Esperanto was given 10
her in equal portions with her mother
tongue. The consequence is that she has
not been hindered by the habit or the
tendency OF English to handicap in the
new language.

speech was applauded and all over the
amphitheater you could hear during the
waits. expressions Of delight that the
poetic beauty OF Shakespeare's lines.
even his meter, in most cases, could be
rendered so beautiful in the new IAN
guage. This was especially true when
the players came 70 the well-known and
oft-quoted speeches. For instance that
speech beginning
Sweet are the uses Of sdvsrSity'
and ending:
Sermons in stones books. IN running brooks.

its fine rendering. though this Is the way

The same was true Of the famous
Seven Ages of Man" speech OF the
Melancholy Jacques. which in its Es>
peranto form The Washington Herald
published some time ago II was beau
tifully spoken by Mr.. Maurice Jarvis
and called forth round after round Of
applause.
Beautiful and Poetic.
II would be almost lnvldious to single
out individual members OF the cast that
gave so excellent a performance as a
whole. The acting was thoughtful. tenn
Terate. without exaggeration. beautiful
and poetic. Among the Espersntists
Mr.. Jarvis as Jaques came In for the
greatest applause, because they sail that
his Esperanto was the most Ilu.I and
pure though 70 the outsider. II seemed
no more smooth than the speech Of the
others. But It is quite true that MI
Jarvis performance throughout was very
creditable. Mr.. Holland Hudson, as
Tombstone. also came in for much ap-
plause for his clever acting and the
many laughs he evoked were no less a
tribute 10 his pronunciation Of nav
tongue than TO the wit OF Shakespeare
which he retailed.
Miss Florence Garland as Rosalind made
a most charming and pretty picture. and
her acting was as dainty and as full OF
grace as could be desired. Ruth Holt
as Celia, Lorena Booth as Phoebe, Jean
Garland as Audrey. all received high
praise for the skill OF their work and
their readiness in the new tongue Coyle
de Witt. as the Duke. was strikingly good.
and Addison Smith. as Orlando, made a
decided impression whenever he ap-
peared. In short each individual member
OF the company acquitted himself with
marked credit and after the performance
each player was heartily commended by
Dr. zamenhof. inventor Of Esperanto.
Praise is due. too 10 Mr.. Hickman for
the mastery care with which LAS You
Like it. was staged and costumed. The
costumes were all fresh and brilliant the
properties entirely adequate. and the
woodland scene was made all the more
realistic by the presence Of real goats on
the stage
For the benefit Of the general public who
may desire TO see a performance unique
in the history Of theatricals. the open-air
performance in Esperanto will be re-
peated tonight and tomorrow night on
the same grounds.

Tie big event Of the second day OF the
international Esperanto Congress was
the unique pleasure the members en-
joyed in witnessing the first performance
ever given in the world Of Shakespeare's
"As You Like It. translated into the new
language
The performance was given in the open
afr, on the beautiful grounds OF the Brls-
tol School. Mintwood place northwest.
and II was given by the Hickman Play
ers under the personal direction Of Mr..
Robert Nugent Hickman. In more ways
than one the performance was a wonder
ful demonstration OF the extreme utility
OF Esperanto, but in none more than in
the Hickman Players themselves. Two
months ago not one OF them-not even
AIR. Hickman himself-had even heard OF
Esperanto, and yet last night these play
ers gave a performance Of a very long
and difficult play without once hating
OF stumbling over their lines. and with so
perfect a pronunciation OF the unaccus-
toned language as 10 astonish even DR..
Zamenhof. who declared that he had
never heard the poetry Of Esperanto so
beautifully rendered
The rain In the afternoon threatened 10
mar the event. but the clouds passed
away in time. and except when a gust
OF wind shook the trees. whose leaves
were heayy-laden with moisture. there
was nothing 70 Indicate that the weather
had been bad.
Setting Under the Trees.
Elaborate preparations had been made
FOR The performance. Not content with
an ordinary board stage. a broad plat
form covered with green turf had been
erected. and to supplement the fine forest
trees that crowd the grounds Of the
Bristol School. hundreds Of small trees
had been carted in from the woods 10
I'll in the vacant places. The result was
a beautiful green-embowered amphi-
theater. In front Of which the seats were
arranged In a seml-cIrcle 50 that every
one had a good view. Practically every
member Of the Congress attended. and
there were a number OF people not mem
bers. attracted by curiosity. so that when
the performance began shortly after :
o'clock the audience must have num-
bered a thousand.
Back Of the seats. among the trees
were enormous calcium lights that shot
their beams over the heads Of the people
directly on the stage The ampitheater
and the green lanes leading 20 IL were
lighted with Chinese and japanese Ian
terms, many suspended from the trees. It
was a scene Of sylvan enchantment; fit
ting setting for the most idylHc and
poetic Of Shakespeares plays.
"As You Like II" was PLAYED by a
carefully selected and carefully drilled
cast; a company that gave such an ex-
cellent performance that even those who
could not understand Esperanto must
have heartily enjoyed the poets lines
For used for such a purpose ii is ap-
parent that Esperanto is liquid and me-
l0dious and full of beauty Of its own.
The cast chosen by Mr.. Hickman, was:
