Custer Suit Now
In Definite Form

The Custer Suits at Memphis
against Mayor Crump, ct al,
were appealed to the Supreme
Court for final termination.
The Custer suit now pending in
this county will not be appealed
as the judgment of the Court Of
Common Sense is final and there
is no appeal from it's judgments.
The trial has been set for Friday
night, May 5, at 7.3O o'clock. at
the courthouse. Clerk Trousdale
has been busy this week issuing
summons and the sheriff sum-
moning a venire of one hundred
freeholders from whom the jury
will be selected, also serving
subpoenas on witnesses.
While this is mock trial it
will be conducted regularly as
though a real court were in ses-
sion, a trained lawyer will sit
as judge, the REALTORS will be
represented by prominent men,
bers of the Paris bar and the
defendant will doubtless retain
the ablest lawyers to be had.
Mrs. A. B. White originated
the idea to raise funds for the
Shiloh Monument. to which
cause the local papers have gen.
erously given of their space.
The mock Trial should net good
sum for this cause which should
appeal to every one who was
himself. or had relative, in the
war that made the South the
wonder of the world. The ad-
mission at the court house on
this occasion 1880 May 5, will be

will all go into the fund, as there
will be no expense.

Within the past few days
around the date of the supposed
three hundreth anniversary OF
his death-practically every
newspaper in this country, and
doubtless as great a proportion
of them in all other English
speaking countries, have had
more or less to say Of Shakes
peare praising him. doubling
him, substituting another for
him, and such like foolishness.
All of it makes a body of pretty
fair reading, but it is utterly
foolish stuff, so far as arriving
at anything is concerned.
Here are two apparently para
doxical statements both of them
equally true: Nobody will ever
be able to establish the identity OF
Shakespeare. Everybody per-
fectly well knows the identity OF
Shakespeare. Now let's think
of that a minute.
They say that man who. in
the flesh, was William Shake
speare could never have written
the Shakespeare plays. He was
ignorant. they say, not learned
in the schools, neither learned by
travel. They advance all sorts
of ingenious explanations. The
old theory that Bacon was the
author of the immortal plays has
been trotted out and worked
overtime. 1t is no farther ad-
vanced than it was years ago
never will be. There are some
mysterious things in the plays,
things of perhaps no meaning at
all into which a Baconian mean
inc has been contorted. That is
all. The late George Fitch dis
posed of every argument that
Bacon wrote those plays by say
ing, IF he did, he disguised his
style most admirably. I" Still,
nobody can absolutely prove that
he did not write them.
One editor no less one than
Henry Watterson of the Louis
Vile Courier-J Journal advances
the theory that. while Bacon did
not actually write the plays, ne
injected the scholarship into
them. Kit Marlowe, he thinks,
did the actual writing, maybe on

POLISH EMPIRE
 PROCLAIMED BY TEUToN RULERS
Students In Warsaw Schools Lead In Celebrating
 Day

Warsaw, Nov. 8-The manifesto of Emperor William and Emperor Fran cis Joseph, again calling into exist ence the an:ient kingdom of Poland was read at noon yesterday to the as- sembIed Polish representatives in the royal palace by Governor General Won Beseler. Outside in the, great square before the castle and in the spacious courtyard inhabitants of the old Polish cities were gathered.
 Quicker to realize the significance of the day are the academic youthd of the country, students of the University of Warsaw, the polytechnic school and other high institutions of learning who attended the ceremony in cor= porate units, bearing banners and wearing the gay student ribbons.
 This afternoon they are leading pa rades and demonstration through streets with red flags. There are VOL unteers by out hundred for the Polish army which. the manifesto announc- ed, will be called into existence.
 The ceremony was short and sim pie. Precisely at noon, General Won Beseler, wearing the decorations granted for the reduction of Antwerp and the Polish Actresses, mounted the dais in the gala ballroom of the old Jagellonian Castle and in the name of Germany's sovereign read the Imper- ial manifesto.

LYRIC

Commencing their second successful week in this city the Lyric All-Star Stock Company at the Lyric theatre will present William J. Hurlburt's s great drama, ''The Writing on the Wall.'. The revelations and exposures brought about by the playing of 'The Writing on the WalT' changed the tenement laws of New York and in various communities where the drama was performed the eyes of the public were opened and reforms were enact ed. Interwoven with this vital ques- ticn is a strong love story of compell- ing interest and charm, and the play is full of brilliant dialogue and situa- tions that go toward making as near a perfect play as possible. Miss Ethel Waldron and MT. David Herblfn will have powerful roles to appear in and both of these capable artists can be relied upon to score individual hits. The surrounding cast is well balanced and the production will be of the best. On Tuesday evening the full election returns from throughout the country will be brought to the Lyric by special wire and will be an- nounced to the audience between the acts and after the performance. An ideal way to spend election night, a big play and hearing the accurate and complete returns of the big fight.

Magnates Ought to Stop Transforming
 Games in the Spring

While we are on the subject of this controversy over players going barn., storming after the season closes, 1t would be we'll for ithe club owners to remember othe players are not the only ones at fault The rule against players transforming was with the idet that it is not we'll to give the fans too much baseball.
 That is no doubt the correct idea of the situation, but the major leagues should go little further writes Burt Whitman in the Brooklyn Standard Union. Club owners should desist from the custom of playing inter league games in the springtime just before the opening of the major league seasons. They should also pass rules prohibiting the playing of games between teams of the same league be- fore the regular season.
 It is all right for major league teams to clash down in the training camps where the practice from these games helps both teams, but when the start, for home is made the SAMs<S should be confined to contests against minor league clubs encountered on the road home. The spring series be- tween major league clubs takes the lustre off the opening of the season.
 It is always cold when these games are played and the baseball is seldom of high character. The managers use their second string men, men who are soon released, and take no chances with their stars in every contest. There is no incentive for brilliant play ing and consequently the games arc seldom interesting. The magnates make very little money from these games, not nearly as much as they would make by an opening day not marred by half dozen games played beforehand. sf

To Stop Financial Inducements Offered

State College, Penn., Nov. 6-Ath- letics in Pennsylvania College is likely to be overhauled as the result of action taken here Saturday by a com mittee of the Pennsylvania College Presidents association. The commit tee outlined a reform which will elim- mate offering of financial inducements to brilliant high school athletics in re- turn for their services on the college athletic teams. Rigid enforcement of the one-year resident rule was recom- mended.

PLAZA.

"A Corner in Colleens' is the Tri- angle attraction at the Plaza the first of the week and in it are featured charming Bessie Barriscale, the we'll known emotional actress and Charles Ray, the youthful leading man who counts his admirers in this city by the thousand.
 The story of the play is uniquely plotted in film and should please the most exacting fan. Miss Barriscale has one of the most loveable roles of her career as "ShaInmie," the tonboy orphan of whom 8 wealthy young American becomes enamoured while on a business trip to his estates in the land of the shamrock. There's action every second of the showing of the picture and action of a sort that makes on giggle one moment and feel a pang of pathos the next.
 "A Day at the Circus" one of the funniest acts in the realm of variety will be presented by Sherman Defor- est and company and there's sure to be a welcome for them.
 The Herbert Germain Trio have 8 whiI lwind gymnastic offedng that is so fe,r superior to any of it's kind be- fore presented locally that there is hardly room for contrast
 Junie Mills and company in a dainty fantasy of song and pianologue, tas- tily favored with humor, will have an opportunity to become favorites while Noha and Phillips should be the cause of almost tumultuous laughter while they hold the stage for their material is really rich and they know how to put 1t over we'll.
 The Keystone comedy will complete the program and it is easy to imagine a crowded house policy in vogue dur ing it's presentation.

COMMISSION VIEWS
 NEW SCHOOL SITES
Are Accompanied on Trip by Delegates From Woodlawn
 and East Lake

A large delegation of citizens from the city commission to take jaunt to the eastern end of the city yesterday after noon and view several sites for the erec- tion of a high school. There were about dozen automobiles in the party that called at the city hall and, augmented exception of Commissioner Weathery, who was busy, the party started for the Bruce property in Woodlawn, the first of the sites to come to the attention of the board
 At the Bruce property a large gather Lake was already present, awaiting the coming of the commissioners, and several speeches were made. pr. R. F. Lovelady, president of the board of revenue; Dr.. Hankins of East Lake, and Professor Clayton were amongst the speakers For the board of education Sydney Bowie asked many questions of the speakers, but the commissioners were silent.
 In the party representing the board of education were Mrs. B. A. Echols. Mrs. R. Dupont Thompson, J. B. Gibson, Dr. E. P Hogan, and Sydney Bowie.
 As to the results of the trip none were apparent except that it gave the com mission the views of the people of Wood lawn and East Lake on the question of building a high school. It appeared to the commission that the people of Wood- lawn and East Lake were more concerned about securing a school than in the mat ter of selecting a site.

FULLER SISTERS ID GIVE UNIQUE
 CONCERT TONIGHT Folk Songs by English Singers to Be Given Under Auspices of the Music
 Study Club

The Misses Dorothy, Rosalind and Gym thia Fuller, known the Fuller Sisters of Sturmnster Newton, Dorset. England, will be presented by the Music Study club tonight a S:15 o'clock at the Tut wiler. These charming women with the good old-fashion names, will render delightful programme of English. Scot tish and Irish fok-songs. This is what the Boston Transcript had to say:
 'The singing of the Misses Fuller was exquisite. There was nothing of the drawing room or of the studio about their voices. They maintained complete- ly the straightforward objectiveness neces- sary to folk-music, never for a moment seeming to be superior to the songs or to be personalities in their own right. The important thing was to get the song sung, distinctly, simply, and joyously. Their dramatic gestures and dance steps seemed to be perfectly spontaneous and never studied. Their attitude was ono of immense respect for the song, as thing to be enjoyed, and no respect whatever for good taste or formal beauty as such. These are qualities of all art in the militant stage, but it is very difficult to persuade fok-singers, trained in a sophisticated school. to observe them. The accompaniments by Miss Cynthia Fuller, played on a small Irish harp of somewhat archaic structure, were ex- tremely skilful and closely in the spirit of the tunes. The evening was one of pure delight
