nearly approached to those Of musical

Of Shakespearean takings The fact is
that the old maxim. Shakespeare spells

phrase.

"Chatterton's maxim certainly doesn't

A RARA AVIS HAS
COME TO COURT

tditors Note: following is a most In
.eresung letter which came to me yes
terday from Ar. L. Stoddard Taylor.
manager OF the Belasco Theater:
Dear Mrs. Manz: Euiogies are usually
written after We are dead; here is one
on man very much alive. NV enthusi-
asm was born last Sunday evening after
nearing Mr. b. r. Baumgardt lecture at
lns heiasco on Norway. I regard him as
the most uncommon product of environ
ment and intellect that have ever heard
within the four walls OF a theater.
VIII you print 1t? That we may let
those who appreciate the superexcellent
know that rara avis has come to court
might add that my humble opinion is
but one OF many just as laudatory that
nave heard In eight years this is
only the second attraction / have per-
sonally indorse'
Yours very truly, .H
''L. S. TAYLOR"
Mr.. b. r. Baumgardt had not been on
the stage of the Belasco Theater last
Sunday evening more than fifteen min
utes before the audience realized in the
man before them a rarely gifted per-
sonality. A man of unusual magnetism
giving expression one moment to mirth
and music and in the next scaling every
human emotion by his power to charm
or thrill alike in poetry or passion, and
with equal ease in the tongues OF all
men. In all honesty Baumgardt is the
nian-marvel among lecturers. He brings
to us through scene and story the world
OF yesterday and today. How the hu-
man mind in the brief span of a single
lifetime could compass such a wealth of
worldwide knowledge embracing history
and science. painting and sculpture drama
and music. politics and power. language
and literature, nature and art. almost
passes belief: yet this modest man seems
supreme master Of all topics. classes and
masses

Gently he found i'm his catch strang-
er in the shape Of a big lobster, ac-
corGing to the Norfolk Nirginian-
Pilot.
Fishermen who have been taking
their toll from local waters for many
years, said the lobster was the larg-
est that had ever been caught here
and the first one ever captured in the
softshel1 stage. The crusta cean
measured 10 1-2 inches from tip 70
tip lengthwise and it's body was an
even foot long Its chelae or great
claws measured inches long and :
1-2 inches broad. II weighed three
pounds.
Several years ago the government
planted" n large quantity of young
lohsters- near-the -rIp=raps- In -Hamp-
ton Roads, but for some reason they
did not thrive. Quantities of small
Holsters, about the size of n mans
thumb, have been caught in the
waters around Norfolk from time To
time but not a single large one until
yesterday.
AS Holsters arc never known to
stray of wander from their naunts,
fishermen are somewhat puzzled as to
how the ore caught yesterday nap
