BRIEF OQUTLINE OF HIS ARGUMENTS, An Interesting Address by an Klo- quent Speaker in Which Coloncl Ingersoll Get a Dressing— Another Book Promised. Tenatius Donnolly, the sage of Nininger, ®x-congressman from Minnesota, president of tho farmers’ alliance of the Gopher state, ro- cont chairman of tho committoe of rosolu- tons at the Cinciunati convention and ¥'rancis Bacon’s chicfest defender and cham- plon, was the magnet which attracted a #mall sized audience to the Boyd opera houso last evening. Tho,night was warm, so warm indoed that People thought of the “cool sequostered and glades,” 50 beautifully pictured immortal Wil Shakespeare, and they re. mained on the outside of tho theater, wh tho sago of Nininger on the inside labored to show that the author of the “Novim Or manum’’ was the auttor of the Shakespearn plays. It was 8:30 when Mr, tho stage, preceded by G who introduced the ¢ ‘with these words: fos and Gentlemen © 10 have tho priv 0 you this evening n brilliant orator, n gent roputation, who was thr congress from, and the great stito of Sinnesoti posaibility: being the cople’s purty candid fon.

Cardinal Gibbons in gpenking of this lectiry pronounces it ws of the very hichest literary form. I now have ghe honor of grosentiig to you the Lo Tenntius Donnelly. Mr. Donnelly, in modestly taking the con- ter of the stage, sugiested to his audience a tman who was at peace with all the world. is round, ruddy, clean shaven faco with its enignant’ look, 15 very like thatof Colonel Robert G. Ingersoli, whose “mistakes in lit- ®rature and relizion,”” wero to be held up to the public gaze by this favorito son of tho garmers of the northwost. His well rounded form, very reminiscent of Bllly Owen's “Bluft Jack Falstaff,” wus clothed in a dress suit of modern cut and fit and bis shirt, with its threo gold buttous, told in a mute but ex- pressivo language that Mr. Donnelly was not staying up nights worrying over the grossin- gratitudo shown by the world for the count of St. Albans, Sir Francis Bacon, To encourage the speaker in his ecrusade upon the fame of the Avonian bard there were with him on the staze Mr. Hiteheock of the World-Herald, Hon. George W. Linin- er, Mr. C. T. Taylor, Mr. Lous Reed aud Rev. Dr. Mann of the Unitarian church. Mr. Donnelly said: 1 desire in the first lace to thank you for the honor you have one me in coming here this very warm wight. [ attribute it uot to any popularity of iy own, but to the interest taken in the reat question which I shall discuss tonight. glm\'n been a close student fora number of years of the theory which Delia Bacon gave to the world in 1856 regardin, et horsle 0L LhA B Hliésyieara R pIATUNAL hould have preferred to muke this answor to Colonel Ingersoll from the same platform with him. The publisher of one of my books offored to give Colonel Ingersoll $1,000 to meet mo in joint debate in the Auditorium in Chicago. But Ingersoll declined to meet me. Ho gave as his reasn for not meoting me that ho did not want to crush me. But [ would have taken gy chances of being crushed had ho ot ma in joint devate for my publisher offerea me an additional £1,000 should Colonel dngersoll cross swords with me. Had Colonel Ingersoll concluded to meet me e would have been buttressed by the multi- tudo in the thought that Shakespeare wroto Shakespeare's plays. But this is the first ritic:1 age in whic an doubts and does ot take things for granted. In former ages men believed, but this is the age of news- papers, magazines and they have overturned B multitude of things. Should you go to Switzerlend the guidoes svould show you where William Teil shot tho ®pplo from his boy's head. They would also fell you tha story of that other arrow which ‘was discovered in Tell’s belt and his an: r 1o the interrogatory, what use he meaut to muke with the other arrow: “Had I failed Tyrant Gesler, I would have shot the arrow i thine heart.” ‘Yet, my friends, this is a critical era, as I ave said before, and research has shown that 110 such person as Toell or a Gesler ever lived, and 80 T vaka it, that whilo thero was the mun Shakespears, critical research fails to show that heever wrote the wluys no- corded to him. Mr. Ingersoll in his lecture says that the man Shakespeare went to London when he was eighteen, and later became manager of Blackiriar's theater. But according to Hal- lowell, Pnillips and other Shakespearians ho could not havo been in Lonaon at the time Jugersoll implies nor a manager of Black- Triar's, for it was not built until 1506, eloven years ‘after Mr. Ingersoll says ho was the manager of the theater. Shalkespearo held horses in front of Black- friar's theater. Ho was an ignorant boy, yet he was able to read and write, probably the tirstof his familp. But his wriung was so bad that anyone would easily conclude on examination that ho wrote very little. I was st tno British museum in 1855 and I said to one of the librarians, “Show me some of Ghakespsare’'s writings,” and he showed me a lithographic' copy of one of Shakespearo's deods. What was the character of Shakespeare's house- hold! His father and mother could not wead and write. His sister Judith, when sho signed a deed made her signature with a pot hook. Yot with these surroundings we are asked to belleve that Shakespeare wrote the plays which Goethe says ‘passed @ sponge over the tablo of all the kunowledgo ot the world.” I his boyhood days Shakes- re was a roustabout, an idlee, and history lls us ho was a laggard at school and was wvery often whipped for his short comings. Of his marriage there is little known, There is in evidence o bond which was given by Shakespeare to a yeoman of the county t0 musry Ann Hathuway hy one publication of the banus instead of three. But wo have mo knowleage that the marriage ever took place. o farther. Ho was caught killing Sir Thomas Laoy's deer park, mod 5o this ydhog man coming from this fllitorate family goos to London, and a short time there comes out a poem called **Venus wnd Adonis,” aud its profuce states that it avas “ine first heir of Willinm Shakespeare.” The English we speak 13 the English of the court of Elizaboth. Shakespears spoke a dialect. - Yet, my friends, you turn to $Vonus and Adonis" and it is the stateliest bit of courtly language produced up to that time. There is not a single rfecronce to tho xiver Avou in all his plays, and yet it is one of the most beautiful rivers In England. Bums on the contrary immortalizes the peenes of his birth piace. “Fhe Banks o Doon,” “Alloway's Haunted Kirk," which still stands 1n its sightly ruins. But Avon, and Stratford have so mention in Shakispeare's plavs. Now take Fran Bacon. He was the couut of St. Albai and thore aro twenty-thres references to St. Albans in the Shakespouro plays. The man Who wrote Shakespeare's plays must have road Italian, for thoro were no translations iu Shukespoare's time, and yet half of tho lays of fthe bard of Avon are taken rom the Italian. The plays are tho work of u great scholar, more than that they are the Wworks of @ great philanthropist. If genius is mllaman wants, lot us close the publi schools. Turn to the plays of “Henry V und you will find it is good Freuch. “Will Mr. Tugersoll toll us that & man can writo 00d French by luspirationt And it is this ind of chaff with which the qminent orator bas beon filling the ears of the American peo- le.

Think you that s man who Was so totally illiterate” as Shakeopearo is reditod, could yhave kuown these thingsi bink you that such & man could have add B,000 woras to the English language! Z In his “Pronus of Formularies and Ela- gaucies” we find striking analo- s between the exprussions found - In the plays. Murray's areat dictionary proves conclusively that the author of the plays addod 5,000 words to the Ianguage, and L is repnisive to reason to believe that a drunken piay-actor could be capable of mak- ing such an impression upom our native tongue. If ho were such a literary character why did he not mention somathing about his library and pinys {nstead of taking care to detail the disposal of his bedstead and other household acticles. Ho diod wealthy and yet made no disposition of bis plays nor arranged for their publication. They were, however, published the very yoar of his death by his contemporaries, aud~ whilst Bacon was still living, " Ingersoll claims that Shakespeare was tho accredited suthor of these plays even during his lifetime. Wo admit that Bacon published them, but that ignorance tas fathered thom on Shakespeare, If Shakespeare wrote the plays it 18 a ten-fold greator miracls than any that appears in the bible at which Colonel Ingersoll scoffs. It is most stupendous miracle that an_ignorant doerstalking actor could grasp ail tho learn- ing of tho world and present it ina garb such as has elicited the wonder and admira- tion of all the world. Lord Campbell says that from Shakes- pearo's law thoro was no appeal. = The per; son who wrote the plays was so brimful of logal knowlodge that he was giving expres- sion to it on all occasions aud in all places. A contemporary author declares that the writer of the Shakespeare plays was a_law- yor, and that his fataer before him practiced that profession. We know that Will Shakes. peare's paronts wore densely iguorant and himself but a poor, untutored actor. I am a membor of no church and yot I c not but feel that the solemn sapping snee hurled at the great fundamental truths, dear to all men, by Colonel Ingersoll, is silently doing its destructive work. [ cannot beliove that the thoughtful part of me will perish and that the clayey vesture which shrouds the spint is immortal. Spirit makes tho man; and if not a single grain of saud is an- nihilated but is immortal; what cau I say of the power which animates matter. Any man who deliberately goes about dessemmating doctrines that saps our faith in tho father- hood of God and of the kinship of wman is & veritablo scourge of God. I take it that the widespread acceptance of such nofarious teachings is the primary and potent cause of the wonderful increase of crime and injustice. Kxcessive civilization is akin to barbarism naod tho signs of the times are potentous of social dissolution. grand moral lessons are con- in these plays. Behold in Mac- th how vaulting ambition has run riot and over leaed itself, and O, what terrible remorse seizes his sanguinary spouse, and leads her to mako the quietus, How green- oyed jealousy rages rampant _in Othello, and what temperancoe oration ever rang with a sontiment like this: ““That a man shou!d put that into his stomach that will stoal away his brans.”” No, my friends, the theory that Francis Bacon i3 not to b ignorantly’ whis- tled down. In a letter to John Davis, a favor- ite at the court of James I, from which Bacon was an exile, he says v you to be good to concealed po Toby Matthews 4 contomporary thunks him for & copy of the plays and says in his note of acknowledge- ment that they are the most learned and witty productions of his owu or any other land, Jonson says “he was filled with all numbers,” which means that he was au adopt in’ all kinds of verse. Jonson was a clerk to Bacon and therefore is an unim- peachable witness. Bacon took the name Shakespears as » mere nom de plume as it was ns disreputable to bo a play writer as a player in those days. Plavers were vagabonds and outwasts, sud Bacon could not be known as a dramatist and held his peerage. Circumstaaces forced him to hide behind a pseudonym. Had it been noised abroad that he was the author of them he would probably have followed his friend Essex to the blocl In about six months [ bope to publish sn- other work in which I shall prove to mathe- matical demonstration that Bacon used a cipher in theso plays, in_which he tells his authorship and gives a brief history of his time. Many who are now scoffers will, I hope, become votaries at the shrine of the genus of the ‘“‘wisest, wittiest, ablest of mankind”—Lord Francis Bacon. De Witv's Little Early Risers.

Short Visit to Omaha by the Becom- ing Noted Nobleman, A real live prince was at the union depot for haif an kour yesterday afternoon. Hewas Prince George of Groece, and to his credit it must be said that he is a very fine appearing voung fellow, even if he doos belong to a Toyat family. There wasn't so much as a suspicion of baccarat about him or auy of his party. Tho prince Is traveling incognito undor the titlo of Count Folster, aud Is accompanted by Captain Lohmer, lato commander of the Rus- sian cruiser Pamiot Azova, Thoy wore d rect from San Francisco, having arrived there last Tuesday from Vladivostock, Si- beria, via Yokohama, ou the steamer Gaelic. Prince Georgo is a man of magnificent pro- portions, standing six foet threo inches high and welghing 210 pounds. His limbs are finely moulded and he is a porfect giant in strength. He was twenty-two years old last Thursday. Smoothly shaven and attired in a Citison's suit of steel gray aud a flannel sbirt, with his rather florid, boyish face and fine shaped head surmouatad by a gray trav- eling cap, ho looked for all the world like & colloge student out on his vacation. Aside from the pugilistic appearance engendered by his powerful physique, the prince is a very gentlemanly as 'well as schol- arly young man. He is a nephew of the princess of Wales, who s a sistor of his father, the King of Groece. Ho is nlso relatod to the Grand Duke Nich- olas Alexandrovitch, tho czarowitz of Russia, who hus been making a tour in the 6,000 ton cruiser Pamiot Azova. The grand duke, after oponiug, the great Siberian railway, loft overland for St. Petersburg, and _a gun boat convoyed Prince Georgo and Captain Lohmer to Yokohama. The prince was the constant companion of the czarowitz on his trip around the world, and was with him when the Japaneso police: men attacked the grand duke and tricd to kill hun, He is on his way to Copenhagen, Denmarik to attend the family reunion which takes place every two years, and at which it is expocted there will bo presont seventy- five members of the family this year.

WONDERFUL CASE OF SURGERY One of the Most Remarkable Operations on Reoord Reported from Philadelphia. PECULIARITY OF THE APPLIANCES USED. Scrows and a Screwdriver Employed Successfully to Set a Com= pund Fracture in & Woman's Arm. @PmiiAoeLeris, June 23.—Dr. D, Hayes Agnew, President Garfield’s consulting sur- geon, and Dr. J. Willlam White, nssisted by several others, have successfully porformed most remarkable operation on & woman's arm fractured for two years and o half, The caso is remaricablo and the appliances which succeedod are still more so, for although famnous surgeons parformed tho last opera- tion, it was a bitof carpentry in which screws and a screwdrivor wore inaispensible, and that, too, for the first time in the history of surgery. Thres years ago Miss Harper, then sixtesn years old, left homo for & Boston boarding school. All went woll until about December 2, 1385, when she fell into an elevator shaft a distance of fifty feet. She was unconscious soveral hours and it was ascertained that her right arm had struok a projecting cross veam and that she had sustained a compound fracturo of the upper third of the right humerus, about two inches from the shoulder. Her back was also so badly in- jured that she was unable to walk for soveral months, The fracture wasa bad one and complotely prevented the use of the right arm. Tho ragged edgos of tho broken bone protruded through the skin and the wound was an ugly one, requiring hourly dressing. The fracture was set, but two months elapsed before the external wound heaied. A month later the surgeons found that the broken bone had not reumted and operated for the second time, but unsuccessfully, but from that time untii the following August, when tho external wound healed, pieces of boue were discharged. The young girl was discousolate and her general health suffered from the long iliness. Friends urged: her to have the arm ampu- tated, fearing lest the long term of suffering might prove disastrous to her constitution, but she refused. She had been fond of out- door sports and the idea of losing her arm was something terrible to her mind. So she consentod to a third operation & year and five months after tho accident. This time the surgeons wired the ends of the broken bone together and put the arm in a plaster of paris dressing, but twelve wecks from that time there had been no union of tho bone and the wound had ot healed. Then Miss Harper consulted Dr. White and Dr. Agnew and the former operated for the fourth time on No- vember 9. The patient was etherized. On cutting through the tissue Dr. Whito found the ends of the bone in @ conical shape and greatly wasted away. Moreover the wire had pulied out of one end, but re- mained sticking through the other, The sur- geons sawed off the euds of the bone ob- liquely ana placed them close to each other. Then a hole was drilled througn the two pioces and they wero fasteued together by a singlo steel pin. The wound was dressed on the eleventh day after the operation aud all expectod successful results. Some five weeks later the wound had closed, but Dr. White found that the troublesome fracture was as bad as ever. Then did Miss Harper’s relatives insist that she have the arm amputated. She still refused, and on March 22 of this year lay again in a private operating room of the university hospital, About the table stood Dr. White, Dr. Agnew, Dr. Edward Martin, Dr. William R. Hunter and several surgical nurses, Carefully Dr. White cut the arm until a wound was made some five inches loug. Then whilo Drs. Martin and Hunter held the wound open, Drs. Agnew and White drilled two holes through each end of the fractured bone. That doue, they sawed the end obliquely and Dr. Martin and Dr. Hunter pulled thém to- gether until they rested smoothly upon one another. While they were held there Drs. Agnew and Whito placed over the onds a steol plate two and one-hatf inches long, one- half inci wide and one-sixteonth of an inch thick, through which four holes were drilled. A loug, strong steel screw was then inserted by Dr. Agnew, and using an ordinary screw- driver Dr. White screwed it through tho plate and through one of tho holes in the bone. Anotaer and another screw followed untii four had been placed thus and the steel plate was fastened to the end of the bone, holding the latter together firmly. Tho wound was then drained and dressed as re- quired. When Miss Harper recovered conscious- ness in her rooms at the hLospital she found the heads of four screws projecting in full sight out of her arm and petween them & quecr steel object which Dr. White said was the handle of tho plate. The patient recov- ered strength rapidly and at tho end of three weeks the scrows had loosened and wero re- moved by Dr. White. Not long afterwards the wound was cut open aud the plate was lifted. So confident of the success of this latter op- eration was Dr. White thata fortuight ugo ho sailed for “Europe, leaving his patient in the charge of his assistant, The latter said last night that Miss Harper has fully recov- ered the uso of her arm und he pronounced the bone rounited. The right, arm is a littlo shorter than the left, but when Miss Harper heard the surgeon’s words sha was so de- lighted that she forgot all about the differ- enco in their length S “Excuse, me, Goorge, but when I saw you a vear ago your faco was covered with pim- ples: it seems to bo all right now.” ‘*Yes, sir, that's because 1 stuck i Ayer's Sarsa- parilla, the greatest blood medicine in the world."

In 1851 o party of Awmerican miners had been working a claim near Colum- bia, Toulumne anty, California, and not having even found *‘color,” they be- cams discouraged, the more 8o as a com- pany of Chinamen a short distance above them were doing very well, writes Hubert Burgess in the Century. The Americans having expressed o willing- ness to sell, one day three Chinamen wont to look at the cluim. They talked it over among themselves, and tinally asked the owners at what prico they would sell. Of course the Americans mado it out rich and put a high figure on it, though in facy Jmf- were resolved 10 sell out at any price, being sure that the ground was worthless. [t was decid- ed that the Chinamen should bring their picks and pans next day and prospect, and if they were satisiled they would buy at the figure agreed upon. Whe minars: kg ¢ wonld meob. ably be their lust chance to sell, Jnlrl'- mined to salt the clalm, It was a large piece of gronnd and the trouble was where to put the “salt.” One of the mon soon hit uponn very ingenious plan. Ho took & gun and went, as he said, to get a quail or two, but in reality to kill A snake. Asthero were a great many about the place, he soon killed a large gopher snake, which resembles the rat- tlesnake in appearance, but is perfectly harmless to man. Putting his game into a bag he veturned to camp, On being asked by his companious what he hud brought back for supper,he shook out the snaké'find explained his idea thus: / *‘Now, boys, whon/the Chinamen come tomorrow, they won't allow any of us to be too near, because they're afraid of ‘salt.” Well, Jim, you walk along on top of the bank apd have that dead snake in your pocket. " Bili and me will stay talking to the Johns, I'll have my guit over my shoulder, as I I was going for a rabbit, only you see ['ll_put ‘salt’ into the gun instead gf shot. We'll find out where they aré going to pan out next, and you be 188King on, innocent like with the snake vendy to drop where Itell you. Whensthem fellers start to walk there, just silde him down the bank, and when we all get there, I'll holler ‘Hold on, boys’ ard before they know what's up, I'll fire the salt all araund thore and make believe I killed the snake, How'll that do?” Next morning four Chinamen came propared for work, Thoy tried a fow places, but of course did not get tho “eolor.” The Americans kept at a dis- tance so that there could be no com- plaint. “Well, John,” said the schemer, “where you try noxt, ovor in that cor: ner?" The Chinamen were suspicious in a moment. They wore familiar with saltod claims, and were well on their guard. ***No likee dis corn’. Tlie him nudder corn’,” pointing to thejopposite one, m, with his hands in his pockets, above on tho bank many fect awi ching: when he saw them point in that direction his partner gave a nod and he pitched the snake on the ground near the place. The lender oxclaimed, “Holo on, boys!” and fired before they could tell which way to look. Going up to the snake he pushed the gun under it and carried it away hanging over the barrel. Jim walked off, and” Bill sat on a whoolbarrow on the opposite side from where they wereat work. The Chinamen had no suspicion. They oar- ried away several puns of dirt to wash in a stroam near by, and when they re- turnad Bill folt pretty sure they had struck some of the “salt,” but the Chinamen said nothing except *“Claim no good, Melican man talkee too muchee,” The Americans, knowing the game,re- fused to take less than the specified price, which the Chinamen finally paid, and in two days the sellers were off to new digeings. The strangest part of the story is that the claim turned out to be one of the richost in the district. The Chinamen made a great deal of money, sold out and went hom e Have You Got a Horse?

REE WOMEN RUN THINGS. WHE! An Interesting Sketch of Life in Far Off Sumatra, A country where the women own the houses and lands, where gold and silver are common as the flowers in the spring, where o\'eryhu(l}).: is happy ana nopoay does wrong, is the burden of the story, says the Sun Francisco Examinor, that W. J. Shaw brings from far-off Sumatra. W. S. Shaw is one of the men who modelled things in this country when it was young and pliable. He came from New York in 1849 and was about the first man to hang out a lawyer’s sign in San Francisco. He won the cases that Seottled the validity of settlers’ titles and resulted inthe Van Ness ordinance; and he served as a state senator in 1854, when it was more of an honor to be a legislator than it is now. “In all my years -of travel,” he said yesterday, I never found a happier peo- ple than those who live in Sumatra, in the middle part of the Island. The peo- ple all over Sumatra are believers in the Mohammedan religion,but the pecu- liar customs which make this particu- cular people unique and different from all others are confined to one com- munity. “It would not be correct to term this branch of the Sumatra people a_tribe, for they do not live in tribal relations at all, although there is a chief and under chieftains. These rulers, however, are not despots, and if the people do not like the way in which they manage things they dispose of them very shortly and put other men in their places. **Although men are ostensible chief- tains, the women are the real rulers. The customs of the country forbid the giving of a man’s property to his chil- dren after his death. If a man dies, the property he owns is given to his father and mother. The woman’s property, on the contrary, is given to the children. Probably that is the custom that is re- sponsible for the turning over of all the weulth of the country to the women. “The people are buvpy there—happy a8 they ecan be. The children live at home with thelr mother—the boys until they are thirteen of tourwen and the girls until they marry. “When the daughter gets married she does not leaye her mother’s house. An addition is built on—a new roof as they call it—and the newly married girl makes her home there and brings up her children, This custom, of course, rosults in forming quite large communi- ties where there are many children. “I knew one of these communities whero there were a mothor and several daughters living with their children. The original house had grown with oach marriage until it spread over a largoe piece of ground. When the boys got old enough to leavo homre, they are taken to ‘A com- partment house which is set aside as a homo for them until they wish to marry. The girl has the right to choose whom she will wed, a privilege deleguted to her in Mohammedan-eountries. “Once married, the-hus rest of his life is his wife lives apart from her.and vis only in the evening to chat with her and the children, All the money he gets— and thore is plenty of /money of Dutch coinage there—ho \turns over to his sweetheart, She dresses herself and the children and shoulders all the petty family cares. o “He is bothered ,only to earn tho money to pay for yha things they eat and wear, P *“To get things for, them to eat necd not worry him mugh, The portion of Sumatra’in which these strange peoplo live is vory fertilo and productive.

Performance of & Right Rarely Wit- nessed in New York. v Yonxk, June 28.—A little daughter of R. Ralli of No. 10 West Thirtieth street was christened according to the rites of the Greek church yesterday. Tho num- of peoplo of Greek faith in this city is not large, and about five years ago the Rusisan government withdrew from this city tho reprosentative of the church. Since that time baptism and marriages in this city among them have been rare. The polnts at which the religious rite solemnizad were London, New Orleans and San F) cisco. 514 Iy a Gueel priest from New Orleans or San’ Francisco had been brought to New York to perforim im- portant ceremonies. This was the case in the babtism of yesterday. Father Kuancllas, archimandrile of the Russian diocese of Cali* fornia, came from San F'rancisco especially for the purposs of performing the coro- monies. The ceremony, which took place at Mr. Ralii’s house, was an impressive one. Among the friends of the family presont were Mavro Genni, the Turkish minister; Count Nasselli of the Italiun legation, and’ D. N. Betass, the Greck consul. Mr. and Mr Theodore P, Ralli were godfather aud god- mother. Incense was burned during the ceremony, and a goid or silver cross, with a bon attached was presented to each per- son present.
