READING WAS SUPERB
Corvallis Newspaper Warmly Praises
Mulkey's Lecture on "Hamlet."
CORVALLIS Gazette-Times.l


Hon. b. f. Mulkeys delineation OF
Hamlet" at the College Armory'
Saturday night, was listened to by an
audience which occupied all the avail
able room in that spacious auditorium
and the jacksonville mans effort was
received with enthusiastic apprecia-
ton. At every given opportunity he
was warmly applauded, and Following
the presentation there was unanimous
praise.
Mr.. Mulkey's effort was less of inn
personation than delineation, and MS
reading was not intended to be strong
ly dramatic. He has a mellow voice
deep and sonorous, and an articulation
that is scarcely less than perfect. Com
bined with his artistic sense and ms
knowledge of the character. his nat
ural endowments enabled Mr.. MuikeN
to present Hamlet" to superb advan'
tage. Many felt inclined to say that h'
was not in any sense less acceptable
than Mr.. Warde. when here recently

frequently preserves the secret intact,
and instead of consulting a lawyer or
writing to the American Consul-Gen-
eral at Barcelona he quietly SENDS a
draft for the sum demanded to the
good priest and awaits results. or
course he waits in vain, and the poor,
dead prisoner and the good priest and
the darling daughter in the course OF
time pass out of his life forever, leav-
ing him only an uncomfortable mem
ory of the money he SO cheerfully con-
tributed to the confidence game.
s'For twenty years these same
knaves have been practicing their
swindle. and it is needless to suggest
that they are very carefully organized;
they have confederates not only in the
United States but in most other coun-
tries. The confederates in question Sc
lect man and find out all they can
about him; they get hold of family
names. family origin, and family char
acteristics. This information is trans
mitted to the rascals in Spain, ana
letters are at once written to the pros
pective victim. The scheme is present
ed and developed in very plausible
way and many of our fellow-country-
men have bitten promptly and cheer
fully.
.JJnder the Spanish laws a felony
must be consummated before the po-
lice may act, and mere attempt TO
obtain money by false pretenses does
NOT appear to warrant arrest. The
money must be actually paid overland
the prosecuting witness must be pres
ent in propria persona to TESTIFY;
otherwise prosecution would be use
less.
Slight Change in Game.
"Recently the letters written to the
distant relative have varied some
what from the original; the political
prisoner having become a noted Rus
sian banker who absconded, leaving
deficit of some millions of roubles
killed in a quarrel in England another
Russian, and finally took refuge III
Spain. where he was apprehended ano
charged with manslaughter.
|
"This change of character, however
is immaterial, and in the future more
new characters will probably be in
troduced by the gang. The scheme IL
the same, and the public is warned tt
place no credence in such or simlla1
| letters.
'tEyery effort has been made by th'
Department of State and its represeh
tatives in Spain to unmask thes'
scoundrels and bring them to justice
and the Spanish authorities have als'
been active and several members
the gang have been apprehended ant
held for trial, but SO far no conViction
have resulted, owing probably to tn
peculiarity of the Spanish law referre'
to in the report of the Consul-Genera
at Barcelona.
