There would, ac- cording to Dr. Potter, be in it no reserved rights that could be bought, hired or held on any pretext whatever. It would be the right- ful center of practical philanthropics, haviug foundations or cndowments for the mission work of a great city and especinlly for the education of skilled teachers and workers in intelligent as well as cemotional sympathies with our great social problems, It is believed by the promo- ters of the project that in many ways such a house of worship could accom- plish a vast amount of good. The project has met with some opnosi- tion, chiefly on the ground that the ex- penditure of the large sum necessary to carry it out, and which must be obtained by subscriptions, might seriously inter- fere with the missions, which must largely depend on a sim way of ob- taining resources, This view, however, d to only a very limited extent and was entirely overwhelmed by the advocates of the movement. Among those who have been quoted in advocacy of the cathedral is Hon. J. M. Woolworth, of Omaha, a part of whose address at the Detroit meeting of the ninth church congress in 1884, we find reproduced in an eastern journal. On that occasion Mr. Woolworth said: “There must be the cathedral of all the people, an institution civie as well as re- ligious, the possession and the pride of all the citizens.” It is in this spirit thut the movement been inaugurated. An organized erfort to obtain subscriptions throughout the country1s to be made at once. E——— Shakespeare or Bacon. Mr. Ignatius Donnelly begins in the current number of the North American Review his long promised revelations to prove that the dramas credited o Wil- liam Shakespeare were not and could not have been written by him, but were the work of his eminent contemporary, Bir Francis Bacon. The intelligent reader will not need to be informed that the view which Mr. Donnelly will en- deavor to establish is not original with him, but he has certainly pursued it with greater paticnce and assiduity than any otler. He claims to have reached re- sults that will be the litorary sensation of the contury, and it1s very likely the magazine that is favored with the publi- cation of the revelations will have a largely increased constituency during their continuance, while of course they will receive liberal disoussion elsewhere. Any question relating to the great dramatist 13 sure to command 8 world of attention, and none more so than that affecting his title to the authorship of the immortal dramas that are credited to him. The first instalment of Mr. Donnelly’s exposure of ‘‘The Shakespeare Myth'" 18 to some extent disappointing, at least to those who expected entirely new evi- dence. It 18 largely taken up with a skillful presentation of what had already been put forward in support of the claim 1n behalf of Bacon by those who vreceded Mr. Donuelly in this fiold of investiga- tion, and while the parallelisms revealed and certain other facts affirmed do not lack force and plausibility, they cannot be said to establish conviction. Kor other reasons, also, the first impression of Mr. Donnelly’s work is not likely to be favorable with a great many. Theicono- clastio spirit of the author seems to bo of the most relentloss kind, and he relegates Shakespeare to outer darkness as a drunken poacher who at different time signed his name in seven_ different ways, and whose real name or original name was different from all of these, whose birth in the historic Henley street cottage is doubtful, and whose wife's name was Whatley instead of Hathaway. This sort of obloquy, coupled with the charge of illiteracy, will appear to a very large number of intelligent people not to be absolusély essential to the purpose of Mr. Donnelly, or at least not in the style and obvious spirit in which he presents it. To have stated that Shakespeare was of humble birth, that his opportunities for acquiring even a limited education were few, and that his youth was somewhat wild, and perhaps at times 1ntemperato, would have been pardonable and possi- bly necessary. But Mr. Donnelly has offended good taste and dofied tostimony probably quite as good As any he can produce in the attempt to degrade Shakespeare to the lowest plane of moral meanness and mental insignilicance. This is o view which we beliove the intelligent opinion of to-day will very generally re- sent. On the other haund it eanuot be doubted that Mr. Donnelly will find some, possi- bly a great wnany, to acquiesce in his theory respeoting the nuthorship of the Shakesperean dramas, These wonder- ful products of genius, representing a breadth of knowledge, and a vastness and universality of iutellectual power and resource, not to be found in the works of any other author the world has produced, may easily justify a doubt as to whether they could have been pro- duced by a man who had no better op- portunities than the uncerlain record shows were at the command of Shakos- peare to fit himself for so great a task, It must always be regretted that so little is known with certainty con. corniug this man, and that much of what is known is capable of being used to tho damage of hus fame. But we are apt to muke & narrow and insufficient estimate of the possibilities of genius, and espe- cially of sueh exceptional genius ae is disclosed in the Bhakesperean drama. The restricted intellectual scope of tha avernge man may well be pardoned it it fuils to comprehend how any mind, not nurtured from its very dawn in every form of mental aoquirement and experi- enco—drinking constautly and freely at all fountains of kuowledge-—could pro- duce euch a monument of universal wis- dom as are the plays of Shakespeare. Such a person wlll very likoly agree with Mr. Donnelly that the man William Shakespeare, with only the Limited ad- vantages of the grammar school at Stratford, all of which he could not avait himself of, and having no definitely known opportunities after going to London, atthe age of 23 or 23 years, to improve his education by systematic study, could not have written the plays that are nqw credited to him. Furthermore there is tho argument that Lis experience was necessarily deficient, particularly in those spheres of life which are largely represented in most of the great dramas, His ecircumstances ex- cluded him from nssociation with roy- alty and from the companionship of the nobility, yet the portrayal of theso in the plays denotes one as familiar with their manners and customs as if he had been of their number. In this, perhaps, con- sists the strongest part of the case in favor of Bacon, who certainly had every opvortunity to become familiar with roy- alty and the nobility. What can be said on the other side is that thereappears to be pretty well attested evidence that Shakespeare left the grammar school with a fair knowledge of Latin, that on going to London he devoted him- self to the study of French and Italian, and that he found development for his dramauc genuis us well as pecuniary profit, in revising and rewriting plays for the several theatres. Nor is there much renson to doubt that he in due time, as a writer of plays and an actor, secured the companionship of members of the nobil- ity, who more then, than now. were the patrons of actors. In short, the factsand arguments, are by no means all on one side, and at this time the, preponderance 18 rather in favor of Shakespeare. It is not imvossible that Mr. Donnelly change this, and is promise to do so will attract widespread and eager interest to his cipher revelations. Successful American Girls. London advices huve within the past two or three months recorded the suc- cess 1n opera and the drama, in that f of three American girls, who have at least far more than balanced the failure of Mrs. James Brown Potter, and left a good deal to our credit. The first of these successes was achieved in opera by Miss Ella Russell, who scored a distinet triumph in the English metropolis in a repertory including most of the grand operas. This Iady 18 perhaps twenty- eight years old, and sho has been heard and honored in several of the capitals of Europe. She is not a phenomenal singer, but has cultivated her gift of song patiently and laboriously, and is now receiving the reward of her work. She will one day return to her own coun- try crowned with all the favors that Europe can bestow, to receive what must be.the choicest of all favors to the true daughter of America—the applause and admiration of the people of ker own country. Another American girl who less than two weeks ago made a most successful debut in London as Marguerite, and afterwards won critical commendation as Leonna is Amelia Groll. She is said to have a full soprano voice of pleasant quality, an excellent stage presence, and youth and beauty on her side. The Amecrican girl who has had an al- most brilliant success on the English stage is Miss Adelaide Vetchon, now playing in London after a successful tour of the provinces. She is most cordially praized by the London papers, and her future is assured. These successful girls are all credited to Cleveland, Ohio. S——— Colonel Dick Wintersmith has received an appointment as special timber agent in a Ne- braska district which is overrun with rattle- snakes, but he doesn’t bite at it.—New York Commercial Advertiser. We have never heard of a Nebraska timber district overrun with rattlesnakos, but we can readily imagine a timber agent worried by rattlesuakes in his boots—especially if like Colonel Dick he was brought up in the land flowing with honey and bourbon. By the way, Colonel Wintersmith’s attachment for Nebraska always was warm, as Major Birkett will cheerfully testify. S—— POLITICAL POINTS.

The streams are full of water now, and the sights are magniticent Why, the Egyptian pyramids plantea down here beside some of theso rocks would be mere specks. El Capitau is 5,000 teet high, its sides are perfectly vertical, and as smooth as any stone wall I ever saw. You would have to place six Washington nionuments alongside of EI Caplitau before reaching tho top. Upand down this narrow valley are some of the grandest sihts to be seen in tho world. The streams are clear the forests green, the grassy valley is n superb park, trout, fresh from the brooks, are to be had at every meal at the hotels, The weather Is cool and braeing, the sunshine is glorious, Of all the places to visit, and the grandest sights in nature to see, this Yosemite leadas them all.

The Game Preserves of an English- man Guarded by Huge Maetifls, Chicago Herald: A gentleman uti- lizes his farm lands at Lifirook, not far from London, which 1 these days of agricultural depression he found diflicult to let,by turning them mnto a model game farm. Pheasants are here reared with the most serupulous care and the process of securing and colleeting the egg hatching, nursing, and feeding the juv nile pheasants, ete., vrovide occupation for a number of workers. krom his 3,000 birds usually on the farm the game brecder sends pheasants all over the world to stock preserves. but he supplies eggs most carefully packed in ecases de- vised byhimself and made on the premises, to breeders at a distance, who artiticially hatch their own eggs. The devices for securing tho safety of this valuable and perishable stock ‘are many and various, and great precaution are taken to prevent any depredation. Huge mastifls and St. Bernard dogs tray- erse a length ot wire cable which sur- rounds the farm stretched on the ground upon which their chains are fastened in lengths of 100 yards, and a very eflectual police force they make, not aliowing ap- proach from any one, friend or stranger, without well recognized credentials. Rats are terribly destructive to young birds, if they can get at them, but here they are not only kept at bay by curved iron fencings, ‘such as weé sec at the Zoological gardens, but this year electric batteries are so placed that “if a wire is touched by the marauder the shock proves too much for him and he tumbles over dead. Pyrtridges are not co difficult to deal with as pheasants and there are thous- ands of them on the Lihrook farm flyin about and taking care of themselves.” All the stock birds'are kept in aviaries open at the top, and their wings are clipped every three weeks. The Iabor of this seemed to me enormous,. but the gume farmers say that it is nothing as com- pared to the expeunse of cavering in forty acres of aviaries, EE L el The Mice-Skin Market. Lewiston Journal: The story goes that the fur-runner has one section of Maine in which his appearanee on a fur buying trip is an event. About everybody sells to him and he hasn’t made many mis- takes in his buywg. He cultivates this section. He saves hie best jokes and his funniest_stories for this soction. Hence l.x'fs &rip is good and he don't want to lose 1 . It was efter a successful expedition into this section, rocently, that the fur- rucner fell a-talking. Now there is dan- er when a man falls a-talking and on this day in question the peltry king told yarns and talked about furs and how money could be made and lost in them, Said ge to the lisfeners, “Why don't you save up somé mice skins? ‘The market is big on mice. They are worth, lemme sce—they are worth about $10a hun- dred,” and then he smiled complacently a8 & man spoke nr and said, “B’ gosh, 1s that a fact? Well now vou bet we co'd get a bushel on 'em in a week if we was f mind to.” It was only just a Joke and he went away forgetting to remove the impression. Several months passed and he went back again, bargaining and buying. He had traded for a fiond many furs, when, in the course of the trade, the scller said, “The bg{a has got lots of mice skins for you.” The buyer looked wonderingly, and then up out of the past came the vision of his previous iniquity. “They have have they?"”’ replied he, “Well, 1 don’t know cxncll?‘. Did I'say I'd take ‘em?" “That's what you eaid)” was the reply. “Ten dollars a hundred and the boys has about two hundred of 'em." # [t was a sad fact. The industrious boys had fully that numbcr of mice skins stretched on boards. The buyer had to invent something, and so he stid that'the market had droppoed off over three-quar- ters since he was here before, and he ended by settling with the boysfor a five- dollar bil. 1t would never have done to have declined them, for that might have spoiled the trade on more sizeable and ;uore marketable pelts in that vicinity orever. — e Pass the Brute Around. FiLLEY, Neb., June 10.-To the Fditor of the Bek: A demoralized brute in human form, namod Victor Noble, hold- ing a teacher’s certificate issued by the superintendent of Johnson county, was hired to teach the Melroy school, four miles north of Filley. This villian, trusted with a sacred duty, prepared an indecent und obscene paper in drawin and lnnqunge and placed in the hands of a little girl belonging to the family where he bonrded, with instructions to show it to several other little girls, Here qw matter was sccidentally discovered by the girl's parents and stopped, and tiie fellow was discharged from the shool. The paper was as indecent as ean be con- ceived. The depth of the depravity which can prompt or allow a young man to place such a puper in the lmunt( of a young girl under his charge as a pupil is mysterious and uppailing. 1 cannot fathom it. 1 Through a mistaken effort to conceul the matter by the father of the echild to whom he gave the puper he was allowed to escape with & whole skin. But will the press of the state, and other states, pass him around? His name s Victor A, oble and he hails from Stcrllng.JNofl. 1 am interested in a | BOSION'S NUDE DEPARTURE.
