cromweII,s Way.

In the days when Oliver Cromwell
was lord protector of England there
was no fine discrimination to favor
members of an embassG. When such
members committed crimes against the
law of the Land they were held to the
same accountability as though they
had been natives. So it was that on
July 10. 1858, Don Pantaleon Sa, a
Portuguese nobleman, brother of the
ambassador from that country to Eng
land and knight of Malta, was be-
headed on Tower hill. He had killed
an Englishman, mistaking him for an
other. The Portuguese took refuge
with his brother, the ambassador, who
claimed that by the law of nations his
house was an inviolable sanctuary for
all his countrymen. Cromwell sent
messenger to state that If the criminal
was not given up to the civil authori-
ties the soldiers would be withdrawn
from guarding the embassy and the
mob left to do as it pleased. Every
effort was made by the Portuguese and
other ambassadors to save Don Panta-
Icons life, but without avail. Crom-
well made no other reply than, BLOOD
has been shed. and Justice must be

cIrYs OLDEST MARRIED COUPLE
Mr.. and Mrs. Abijah H. Buck of ST. AL
bans, Married 90 Years Ago.

| St Adams, Jan 25.-Mr. and Mrs.
/ Abiiah Buck celebrated the Goth ami
yersary of their marriage yesterday at

oriain of the Gypsies.

When the gypsies first appeared in
England in the fifteenth century the
name gypsy was given to them by the
English people, who believed them to
have come from Egypt. The French.
by similar mistake, called them Be-
hemians. But careful study of this
race. and especially Of their language,
shows that they came originally from
India. The gypsy language is derived
from the Sanskrit, as are the other Ar
yam languages of India. A similar error
was made by the English when they
called a distinctively American bird a
turkey. under the impression that it
was ali importation from the Ottoman
empire. and by the French when they
called the same bird cog d'Inde, be-
lieving that it came from India

Nathan, on December IL, 1915. sent

did marry Miss Eva he would expect
a certain sum of money in return for
his kindness.
The next day Nathan himself ap-
peared before Mr.. Podolsky He stated
that he had not yet paid his tuition
at college. il is alleged, and pointed
out that unless the money was forth
coming at once his graduation would
be delayed a year. AT the same time
he redeclared his love for Miss Eva.
SO thereupon Mr.. Podolsky says he
covered stocks TO the amount OF $3.50
in Nathan, Incorporated.
Says Nathan Agreed to We'd.
Soon after, Mr. Podolsky swears,
Nathan suggested that he receive an
income of S25 month and that 1000
in cash be placed in some bank as a
Joint account for himself and Miss
Eva. But before investing further
Mr.. Podolsky wanted TO be sure he
wasn't buying war bride. SO he
demanded that date be fixed for the
wedding. Nathan, according 10 the
complaint, agreed to have the civil
ceremony ptilOilhNu Ou bVNNHSNi wv
the religious rites after his gradua-
tion. Mr.. Podolsky took S25 more
stock, after which transaction Nathan
ceased calling at the Podolsky home.
Then came the final blow. Mr.. and
Mrs. Podolsky went to Nathan's home
at 33l Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn. TO
ask about his health. He met them
with a smile and a lawyer. And his
mother, it is alleged, drew forth a
picture of a beautiful young woman,
showed il to Mr.. and Mrs. podolsky
and cried;
"My son can marry $4,000 heiress,
prettier than Eva. Here is her picture.
Why should he marry your daughter,
eh?"

Nathan had represented himself TO be

more class, the complaint states. ON
this legal technicality a charge OF
gaining money under false pretences
was made by Barnett f. Kopelman, OF

he must pay the s275 back to Mr.. Po-

Dr. Ben L. Reitman, press agent for

talking on birth control and distribut-
ing pamphlets on the subject at pro-

charge.

LAMBS GET $4,000
AT ANNUAL AUCTION
Boxes and Seats for Gambol
Coveted by Bidders.

The Lambs held their annual auction
at the Hudson Theatre yesterday after
noon, at which boxes and orchestra
seats for the coming gambol, scheduled
for the Metropolitan Opera House neat
Friday and Saturday week, were Of
fered More than $4,000 was realized
through the efforts of such brilliant
auctioneers as William Courtleigh,
Frank Tinney, Donald Brian, Barney
Bernard, Julius Tannen, Andrew Mack,
Jack Hazard, Hal Ford and Tom Wise,
and the auction was pronounced the
most successful ever held.
A syndicate of Lambs bid 5000 for
one box, which marked the high water
mark for bids. Other boxes went tor
s725, $3.50, $3.50 and 1925. In accord
ance with his custom for many years,
Colonel James Elverson, OF Philadel-
phia, permitted no one to outbid him
for the privilege of selecting the first
box. j. Brulstour offered the highest
price for orchestra seats. going up to
$50. Other purchasers of boxes were
Herbert Kaufman, Joseph Grismer,
Percy G.. Williams. S. Baruch, B. j.
Greenhut and Stevenson Scott.
In his anxiety to force up bid on q
box Frank Tinney himself bid 5000. No
other offer was forthcoming and he
was forced TO buy the box himself. An
other sale will be held Friday after
noon, at which the balance Of the seats
will be put on the block.
New-York tribune., 1916-05-09

casting about for a Shakespearian tone
Of voice she found only a monotonous
tone that very monotony away from
which Sir Herbert tries so diligently
to steer. Miss Ferguson carried this
monotony with her even TO the "qual-
itv o. mercy" speech. although later N
the trial scene she struck a real and
human note. She was at all times a
rraceful and beautiful Portis, and also
q humorous Portia where it was so in
tended.
To one who observed Sir Herbert in
a quartet OF varied Shakespearian
characters (which same he enacted at
a special matinee few weeks ago
his Shylock is bound 10 be disappoint-
ing. II cannot, for example, compare
for minute with his Malvolio, his
Richard or his Falstaff. He is content
TO show but a single side Of Shylock-
the cruel and vindictive. Students, of
course. still are arguing as TO whether
Shakespeare desired to endow the char
acter with any other qualities, but
there are a number of speeches which
seem 20 indicate that it was desired to
work up a little sympathy for the char
acter. Sir Herbert won the sympathies
for a second with the reference TO
Leah. but in the trial scene he was
merely baffled villain. Vocally. also,
he was scarcely Hebraic. although in
this respect he made up in gesture
what he lacked in voice.
The minor characters were, for the
most part, incompetently acted, al
though Lyn Harding gave dignity and
strength TO Antonio and Julian
L'Estrange was a satisfactory Bas-
sanio. The scene between Lsuncelot
Gobbo and his father fell far short OF
the humorous.
The length Of the performance makes
possible only the most superficial con-
sideration at this time, wherefore GER
tain additional angles will be talked
about in The Sunday Tribune. Mean
while. it should be repeated and en-
phasized that Sir Herbert Trees pro-
duction Of "The Merchant Of Venice
is 3 good show, for all its shortcom-
ipCS
