Macbeth wri3 tl- rby at Jordan t IIa.IL last nisht. and Mr. Greets coin- , pany gave a ettMliiy. interesting and an : impressive performance of -the tragedy. Throusnou: it was acted, and not re- uteu. mere was sense oi untiuaui; narrative and of the dramatic quality of the verse in which it is written. There were, grasp and indication of character and situation. There were moments of tragic atmosphere ana or bitter and piercing:' contrast. In a word, Shakespeare was dramatica-lly alive for Mr. Greet and kindling his imagination. He had ceased for the moment to be Shakespeare, educator of preparatory schools. He was bhaKes- peare .dramatist and poet or uecemoer, 1905, and In his fittest place, acted, really acted, on the stage. As this Shakespeare had warmed Mr. Greet, bo his performance of'Macbeth' seized and warmed his audience." In referring to the educational value of the Ben Greet production and the all-round excellence of the cast of play ers The Washington Post bestows no less inouie upon ims cumyaujr ui -w-.-ors: .:.- . "Aside from the intrinsic value of the powerful drama, Mr. Greefs experi ment is extremely valuable as an edu cational factor along two distinct lines. It gives us a glimpse of the jstage methods of the great dramatist's time, when the destiny of the English peo ple was taking its first tangible snap an epoch of transcendental genius which brought forth no richer fruits than the dramatic creations and philos ophy of Shakespeare and it also shows what effect can be produced by a good play, Interpreted by capable and well-trained players, even with the barest possible stage environment Of the players, too much cannot be said In praise of their scholarly and impressive attainments" as t delineators ' of the Shakespeire;dram All suggestions of the star system are eliminated, and each performer strives to play his part, with the sole purpose pf depicting the character as It should be, without re ference to the others, whether the past be : one of greater or less Importance in the general scheme of the drama." Both the spirit and ' the distinctive qualities of the two comedies to be enacted Monday are weel epitomized by the critic Hazlltt: -: -, "Aa You Like It,"t Is a pastoral drama, in which the Interest arises more out of the sentiments and charac ters than out of the (actions or situa tions. It Is not what is done, but what Is said, that claims our .attention. Nursed in solitude "under the shade of a melancholy boughs," the Imagina tion grows soft and delicate, end the wit runs riot In Idleness, like a spoiled child, that Is never sent to school. Caprice and fancy reign and travel here, and stern necessity Is banished to the court. The very air. of the place Beems to breathe a spirit of philosophi cal poetry Jaques 4 the only purely contemplative character ' in Shakes peare. He thinks and does nothing. His whole occupation Is to amuse his mind. He Is the prince of philosophic Idlers. Within the sequestered and ro mantic glades of -the forest of Arden they find leisure to be. good and wise, or to play the fool and fall In love.

' Nashville American. , John L. Sullivan, once -the king of pugilists, and now a stage performer, Is something of a philosopher, v He wasmafrled once, hut got a divorce years ago. Recently it was reported that he was to marry a rich widow, and in an Interview he delivered' him self of these philosophic observations: "No, I'm not sore on marriage. . It's a good thing If you take it the . right way. But I'm not going to get mar rled again just now. And no widows for mine. Money ain't everything. It can't buy brains, now, can it?" John L's prize ring associations, his contests with J. Barleycorn, Esq.,, and the strenuous and eventful life h has led have not destroyed his respect for honesty and virtue, and his homely philosophy Is for the most part sound and worth re.pee.tlng: , "No, I haven't anyone In mind Just now. ' When aman nasn i uvea witn a Woman for twenty-three years, he does not want to call her his wife. - That's an there Is to It. I've never said a word against her and J never will. "The trouble with marriage Is this: Lots of people get married that : ain't mated. .Then, of course, it's a scrap for life, L ndon rules, no rounds with out a knock-down and fight to a finish if it takes you all your life. Divorce makes it a limited go with the Judge for life, London rules, no rounds wlth any better. . .. ; , .

Macon, Ga., Telegraph, th. i- i The case of William D. Haywood, secretary-treasures of ' the Western, Federation,' of Miners, who Is under Indictment jointly with 1 Charles II. Moyer, president of . the federation," and George a. Pettlbone,- former member ot the executive committee, for the murder , of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, ' Is to be called for trial at Boise, Idaho, today. The prosecution claims U will , prove be yond the shadow of a doubt the g.ullt of the leaders of the Western Feder ation of .Miners, known as the "Inner circle," of crimes extending over a period of five . years and Including arson, train wrecking and murder., The miners, on the other hand, declare the prosecution is only an attempt to break their organization and that the detectives have manufactured the evid ence against their; men. But, outside of the prominence of the murdered man, and those ' charged with - the crime, President Roosevelt's "butt-in," and the subsequent controversy, has advertised the case far and wide, and makes it of greater general interest. The assassination of - ex-Governor Steunenberg occurred on, the night of December 80, 1905. The' alleged motive for the crime -was revenge for the firm r attitude Governor Steunen berg had taken to suppress- the riots and t outrages .during the mlner'd strike in the Coewrd'Alene district. The calling out of the militia and other drastic measures employed had resulted in a victory for the malne own ers, and the miners were forced to ad mit defeat. i-v . Governor Steunehburg was lamed by the fnlners for their defeat. Threats were hurled at him at all the miner's meetings, and he was frequently Warn er by his friends that his life t was- In danger, r After finishing his second term as Governor he retired from of fice And returned, to live at his home at Caldwell. Several years passed and the Coeur d'Alene troubles apparently were forgotten. Then came the shock ing news that Governor Steunenberg had been assassinated literally blown to pieces by an infernal machine as he was entering the yard of his home. Immediately steps were taken to ucatch the assassin or assassins. Re wards, public and private, aggregating thousands of dollars, were offered. Suspicion pointed to a man who had been in the town for some" weeks and who was known as "Harry Orchard. He was arrested and Incriminating evidence' against him was found In his room. Orchard, It was ascertained, belonged to the Western Federation of Miners, and had been implicated In several disturbances and In a train wreck in Colorado. The evidence found In Orchard's room, consisting of power wires and fuses, and other material for making bombs, was strong; but the officers "felt that a confession was necessary. They believed Orchard guilty, but were of the opinion that , he was the tool and hired assassin of others. All efforts to secure admissions from him failed. Finally James McParland, a Pinkerton detective who had broken up the Molly Maguires In . Pennsyl vania, was t called , In. ; After several weeks of careful work the .methods of the master detective prevailed and Orchard broke down and confesed. In his confession Orchard directly charg ed President Moyer, Secretary Hay wood and G. A Pettlbone, of the Western Federation of Miners, of needed. The Steunenberg murder was and with having furnished the money needed. The stennenberg murder was but one of a long series of crimes that Orchard charged against the Fedor atlon offlcals. .With startling minute ness he told of the attempts made on the lives of ex-Governor Peabody of Colorado, Chief Justice uabbert of the Colorado Supreme Court, D. II. Moffat and other prom,Ient men. The confession-of Orchard was fol lowed by the arrest of Steve Adams on a charge of complicity In the Steu nenberg murder, and he also confess ed. It is upon the confessions' of these two men that the prosecution will de pend to a great extent. -The case of the defense will be helped by the fact that Orchard's mind has weakens since he made his confession, and he probably will not be able -to take tho stand. Moreover. Steve Adams re tracted the confession he is said to have mode, so that 'it will not be of much value as evidence, - It la expected the Haywood trial will take at least a month at his, horn on the 7th. He leaves a wire ana two children. Dr. W. J. Torrelice, of Gaston Special to The Observer. uastonla, May 11. Dr. W. J.
