ANNE HATHAWAY.

Though many points in Shakes peare's life are obscure if is generally known that his wife's maiden name was Anne Hathaway, and as Anne Shakespeare she was not the recipient of much affection from the bard, She was the daughter of a "substantial yeoman" at Shottery, near Stratford- on-Avon. Shakespeare was barely ls when he married, while Anne at the time was 26. The marriage took place in November, 1882. Little is known of their domestic life. A perusal of 6hakespeare's will shows that Anne was not the object of his kindest thought Every member of the family, his two daughters, his sister, her three sons and great IaImber of friends are mentioned, but there is only one small item in regard to his wife. That item reads: ''I give unto my wife my second best bed, with the furniture" From this it appears that Shakespeare forgot all about her in his will and mentioned her only in an item, being proof of his lack of affection. She died August 1923, and lies buried in Stratford Church. The Anne Hathaway Cottage where she spent her maiden years is an his toricai treasure. being typical of old English architecture.

IRISH PROBLEMS
DELICATETHEME
Wilson Says Conference
Had No Jurisdiction
Over Cause.

President Wilson yesterday ex-
pressed the wish that the American
people should understand the deli
caey Of his position with reference
to Irish freedom" He stated this
request to a group OF Democratic
Senators who visited him In the
Presidents room at the Capitol, aft-
ser he had addressed the Senate.
The PresidenStold the Senators that
it was impossible for the proponents
of Irish independence to ob.a'n rec
osnition at the peace conference The
situation as explained by the Presi-
dent Is that the conference was con-
earned with territory taken from the
enemy and not possessed by the
4aliies. whereas the Irish question re-
lates to territory which Il recognized
by international law rs belonging to
Great Britain.
i The Senators, many OF whom have
been boldly advocating Irish freedom.
we're urged to carry this view of the
matter to the people OF the United
states. At least one of them-Senl-
tor Phelan-accepted the Presidents
view Of the situation.
The Monroe Doctrine. in its rela-
ton to the league of nations cove
nant also was discussed at the con-
ference. The President said there
has been an acknowledgement of
the doctrine. which never had any
previous standing in international
law and was only declaration by
the President of the United States.
= The President said the action in
Paris was a guarantee of recogni-
ton of the doctrine and that fur

prevent the aggression by European
powers against any Central or South
American nation. According to the
Presidents view of the matter, the
recognition of the Monroe Doctrine
constitutes a second line of de-
Tense"
Among the Senators in the con-
ference were: Phelan. Pittman.
King. Gerry, Pomerene. Swanson
and Walsh. of Montant. Attorney
General Palmer also was present.
