Mrs. Taft Does Not Like to Entertain

The White House was unusually

cause the president was away.
Mrs. Taft does not like to entertain
largely when the president is away.
The first lady of the land seems to

Indeed, Mrs. Taft is quite insistent
that the president shall be present at
her garden parties. Two years ago
the president had made arrangements
to visit Indianapolis, but 1t CHANGED
that this date was the same as the
first of Mrs. Taft's garden parties and
the president cared to yield to the
wishes of his wife, and the Indianapo-

great dismay of quite a number OF
politicians In that state, and they hur-

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Three Famous HamletS That
Violated Stage Tradition.
Fechter Made His Blond, Tree Beard
ed and Fat and Mansfield Dressed
the Melancholy Dane In
Red Velvet.
BY e. J. EDWARDS.

How should the character of Ham,
let be portrayed upon the stage? That
is a question that has been more or
less bothersome one ever since Shake
speare's day.
The traditional Hamlet Is a dark
haired dark-skinned, blaek.robed fell
low, lean of body and smooth of iowl
and chin. Yet there have been sew
eral instances of striking stage varia-
lions from this presentation.
Recently l told tho story of how
Charles Fechter. VINO won a great
reputation as an actor, first In France,
then in England and finally in this
country. where he came In 1870. was
led to portray Hamlet as a blond
through the hearty support and ap
prevail of his good friend. Charles
Dickens. Fechter's argument was that
the Danes have always been II light
haired, fair-skinned people, therefore
Hamlet was of that type; and Dickens
agreed thoroughly with Fechter, whose

blond Hamlet created a great Juror
both in this country and In England,
where Fechter first played the part
in the sixties.
While Fechter's is the most note
worthy blond Hamlet In the history
of the American stage, perhaps Beer
bohm Trees takes second place In
that respect Tree, when he came to
study the part, accepted Fechter's
conception of the physical appearance
of Hamlet as the correct one, and &C
corded Fechter high praise for ven
turing to portray Hamlet as a blond,
against all stage traditions.
But" said Mr.. Tree, at the time
of his visit to this country, about
twenty years ago, Il went somewhat
further In my presentation of Hamlet
than F'echter did While carefully
studying the play, / discovered that
Shakespeare depicts Hamlet as having
worn a beard, and a beard / therefore
added to my makeup"
But, Mr.. Tree, where does Shake
speare give Hamlet a beard?" one of
his auditors asked.
Il refer you to these lines In the
second scene of the second act of the
play, where Hamlet is speaking" said
Mr.. Tree:
Am | a coward? Who calls me
villain?
Breaks my pate across? Plucks off
my beard
And blows 1t in my face?'
81 also felt that | was justified In
following Shakespeare's delineation
by making up Hamlet as a fat man,
continued Mr.. Tree. "Fechter did not
have to do that, for he was very cor
pulent at the time he began to play
Hamlet. Perhaps you recall the y1@
spoken by the queen of Hamlet in The
second scene of act five:
"'He's fat and scant Of breath.
Beerbohm Tree, however, in play
ing Hamlet wore the conventional
black costume. But not SO Richard
Mansfield, who thereby made one OF
the most striking departures from the
conventional Hamlet in the history OF
the English-speaking stage. Mr.. Will
liam r. TAFT who is a high authority
on dramatic presentations In this
country, In speaking to me of Mans
fields Hamlet said:
81 think, after all, that the most
daring and absolutely unique portrayal
of the personal characteristics OF Ham
let was that which the late Richard
al IN Hn
Mansfield was familiar with the his
tory of Denmark and with the GUS
toms of the Danish people. He was
born within sight of the peninsula OF
Denmark. He was very high au-
thority upon Danish history. And it
was in accordance with the historical
fact that he dressed his Hamlet in red
velvet.
"Of course, 1t caused great deal
of criticism, to which Mansfield simply
replied that he had been faithful TO
history, since red velvet was the color
and material with which the royal
family of Denmark up to the sixteenth
century CARRIED themselves when In
mourning. However, Hamlet dressed
in red velvet, true though 1t may have
been historically, did not seem to
American audiences so appropriate
for Hamlet as the dark velvet cos
tune usually worn; and | am sure
that Mansfield, who was stickler for
historical accuracy, was greatly disap-
pointed thereby. though outwardly he
may have shown characteristic disdain
for the public's opinion"

ENGINE WITH ONE CYLINDER
Boston Man Claims That 1t VIII Revo-
Iutionlze industry-Takes Weight
Off of Fly Wheel.

After experimenting for ten years
Fred H. Gile of Boston, who has been
a clergyman, physician and lawyer In
turn, believes that he has invented
unicycle engine which will revolution
ize the industry.
Il began experimenting while | was
pastor of church In Scituate," said
Mr. Gle, according to the Boston
Traveller. My boys we're running
bicycle shop there and became inter
ested in the mechanism of engines.
have devoted great deal of my time
since then to the subject and now
have evolved an engine with only one
cylinder. which does the work of the
ordinary four cylinder engine. From
this engine l get six times as much
power as from an ordinary engine OF
the same size.
by my arrangement I have done
away with weight on the fly or bal
ance wheel In the ordinary engine
the balance or fly wheel is the heav-
lest part OF 1t, but In mine 1t is the
lightest part. For instance. while the
fiywheel of an ordinary engine OF
eight horse power weighs between 800
and 600 pounds, mine weighs only 40.
This is because l get a continuous I'M
pulse and do not need heavy fly
wheel to balance the machine.
my engine is practically noiseless
and either kerosene, alcohol or gaso-
line may be used in 1t. There is also
less vibration to it.
Il consider this engine of mine a
wonderful thing for motor boats, as 1t
does away with weight as we'll as CIV
ing more power in a small space. No
fire ever comes out of the exhaust, as
the engine uses up the charge entire
ly. You can't hear any noise from the
engine six feet away"

Utilize Tidal power.

Tidal power has future undoubted-
ly, but It is becoming understood that
on account of the size of the works
necessary to generate any considerable
horsepower 1t can never seriously COM
pete with steam or water power. A
German engineer is reported to be
well started on projsct to utilize the
tides OF the North Sea. Between the
Port of Husum and the Island Of
Nordstrand two immense reservoirs
are being constructed-a high water
reservoir Of 1900 acres and low wa
ter reservoir OF nearly gs500 acres. The

INVENTIONS AID LAZY MAN
One Device Opens Door and An
other Gives Him Exercise In Bed
for Morning Constitutional.

The lazy man is coming into his
Two new inventions are designed es-
pecially to make life's Journey easier
for him. Thanks to these devices. he
may now do the paradoxical thing of
passing through a closed door without
the exertion of opening 1t and he may.
II he is so inclined, take his exercise
In bed.
The self-opening door is the inven-
ton of c. Alter of New York. and he
has had the device patented. It Is
for use on doors of stores or other
buildings and is arranged to permit a
person to open the door by stepping
on a platform In front of 1t. The
opening and shutting process is con-
trolled by peumatic pressure.
The contrivance, according to Mr.
Alter, is intended especially for the
use of persons carrying packages" or
otherwise incumbered," but he ad-
nlits that II will be equally as great
boon to the man who is not incum-
bered by anything save an antipathy
to overexertion.
The device for taking exercise in
bed is foreign importation, coming
all the way from the University OF
Tubingen. 1t consists of two arms or
pedals, to which reciprocating motion
is given by an electric motor mount
ed on wheeled carriage. The ped
ais are attached to the legs of the per-
son in bed. Passive walking and
climbing movements are transmitted
to the legs and the distribution of the
blood circulation is altered. The cir
culation OF the legs is increased, while
the arteries of the arms contract in
compensation and the contractions OF
the heart are increased in volume.
The invention is intended for the
use of invalids, but 1t is said that 1t is
only step from breakfast in bed to
a morning constitutional In the same
manner.

In another column will be found
an ordinance passed at the last
meeting of the council to restrain
the transient trader within the
city limits. In other words it is
on ordinance aimed to hit the
horde of peddlers that have infest-
ed Ely for some time. The
measure should be enforced to the
letter. Not only should the pack
peddler be restricted by heavy
licensebutthe cheapJ John outftsthat
occasionally come to town with
worn out stocks of pawnshop goods
should be curtailed. One of these
was here last week and while it is
known that they did not reap
a harvest it is nevertheless a fact
that considerable money was
carried away for goods that were
high had they been given as gifts.
Our home merchants are here all
all the year and help keep up the
town by taxes and donations while
these fake concerns do nothing but
prey on some guilible merchant to
let them into his business place
and then proceed to unload lot of
unsaleable stuff on the unwary
purchaser who has not one bit of
redress. The ordinance should be
enforced in every possible manner.
Another ordinance that should be
passed is one patterned after the
Mountain Iron ordinance, and also
adopted in several of the Mesaba
range towns, restricting the sale of
beer to less than five gallons. This
would help to do away with many
of the blind pigs that now flourish
in all the mining towns.
