A Committee of Three, Representing Large Interests, Trying Hard to Form a Combination of Local Jobbers. | = | The price of lumber will be advanced in this city in a few days if present plans for the formation of a local lumber pool are successful, and the indications are that the deal is about completed. The advance will be at least §2 per thousand | feet. This is admitted by the lumber | men. | The fact that a pool is forming has been kept quiet. One of the members of the committee of three having the deal | in charge denfed that he had any knowl- edge that there would be an increase in rates, and insisted that all that was in contemplation was the apportionment of territory so that one lumberman would not approach the customers of another. | The committee had agreed not to say anything about the pool until all the lum- ber dealers in the city had signed an agreement. There were several who have been holding out and refusing to sign, but the larger men in the business h hopes yesterday that all would soon be in. The plea s made that the lprlce of lum- ber has been badly cut In_this city, owing to competition. Walter Sutton said that lumbermen had been selling lumber at $l4 per thousand in this city, and that the competition had been very sharp and de- moralizing. The cargo price had been $15 per thousand, and the dealers had lately been doing business at a loss. Besides Mr. Sutton, the other members of the Cochran, man- ger of the Union Lumber Company, and George L. Swett of Swett, Loop & Daven- port. | COMMISSION MEN TO !

The meeting was called at the instance of H. M.

There was considerable discussion con- cerning the hour to begin in the morning and the hour to stop working at night. Several prop: ifons were made. A touch of humor was thrown into the consideration of the matter by J who suggested when the dis progres: that it would be well to secretary of the meeting addre: wives of the fruit dealers and comm! men and ask J.

The mood of the nation was to alter. It was to dream no more of fairyland; it was to play with life no longer. The joyous, eager, aristocratic literature of the first Elizabethan period, with its un- forgettable natural magic, was to be fol- lowed by a literature that expressed an | overwhelming reality of experience and of passion. In four or five Kenrs at latest after the publicaticn of the first three books of the “Faerle Queen™ will be act- ed ‘‘Romeo and Jullet.” and that means that one poet at least knows the sorrow- ful depths of the human heart. Al "-l?a’.u' in 1587, Marlowe’s “Dr. Faustu: struck_a solemn note like a warning bell. The day is to a new art: and dur- ing all the rest of Elizabeth’s reign, and through the reign of her successor, the chief imaginative energies of the English race are rbed in that supremely great creation, the romantic drama. other literary forms were superseded. Lyrics, translations, patridtic and ro- mantic prose. went on unchecked, while a noble, reflective prose arose in Hooker and Bacon. But the drama overshadow- ed ail, because it was the fullest expres- sion of life. There were two currents in this at dramatic tide that rose so high in Eliza- bethan literature.

It is mot drama alone that suggests the spirit of weari- ness and_gravity which even before the death was settling upon the na- | tion. The first essays of Bacon, published in 1597, may be said to usher in this phass of feeling; the lyrie, too, was losing its first fine careless rapture, and in the | work of men like Donne was turning to self-conscious introspection and a more | speculative_and thought-freighted feel- ing; while Shakespeare's sonnets, whether | we 'regard them as personal or ‘dramatic in method, are the fullest subjective ex pression that we have of the state mind which when joined to high, imagi- native fervor made straight for tragedy. Shakespeare himself passed from con- fliet into peace. He gave us during tha jast ten years of his life a wonderful gEoup_of dramas of reconciliationThe empest.” mbeline,” “The Winter's | Tale.” Reading them we feel that he was too great and true a spirit to remain for- ever in the air of storm.
