The Board of Public Woks some time ago refused to issue a certl| cate of the theater because it was claimed that its construction was no. in accord with the provisions of the theater ordi- nance regarding precautions In case of fire. The Board of Supervisors refused at the last meeting to revoke the permit for bullding the thefter. The compuny | was then allowed to proceed with the building under the supervisic~ of Chief Engineer Sulllvan of the FKire Depart- ment. That official, however, nodflag.lro Judiclary Committée vesterday that un- der the charterfhe had nothing to do with building constfuction, which - 1s under the control of the Board of Public Works. That body desires the company to tear vown the building as far as it has pro- Emuud, and that one of iron and stone e substituted. The company claims to have already spent $10,000 on the theater. The Judiclary Committee does not agrea with the Board of Public Works that the bulldingoll enllrel{nnaw. and therefore it is not bound by the ordinance. The the- ater is being remodeled and with that understanding a resolution was recom- mended permitting the constriction ard again direcing e Cluel Engineer of the Fire Department to superintend its erec- tion. The committee iakes issue with Chiét Sullivan in his contention that it is not part of his duties te supervise erec- tion of buildings and quotes (he charter in support of its position.

Graham has gained nine votes In the recount, thus leavi him with a net plurnmly over Daingerfield of 361.

Lazxative Bromo-Quinine Tableta | been drawn from imagination and ! most every form of human weakness. | satire. | fight, “but to show himsel: humor. Until the midyears of the eigh- teenth century all studles of human life and soclety had taken dramatic or poetic form, but in 1740 Samuel Richardson dis- covered almost by accident that even the most complex series of human emotions and adventures and incidents could be adequately treated In an ordinary prose narrative. No discovery has ever borne fruit so immediate and so abundant. Within twelve years tnere was produced a veritable library of classic novels: “Sir Charles Grandison,” “Joseph Andrews,” “Roderick Random,” *“‘Humphry Clink- er,” “Tristram Shandy,” and many others. The leading characteristic of this early fiction 1s its realism. It studies human lives and human society, not from the model, but from nature. Like Shake- speare’s dramas, It gives a faithful plc- ture of its age. Its incidents may have its characters may never actually have had corporeal existence. It matters not. We know that we have the very atmosphere of the perfod; we visit the rural cottage, the country inn, the humble vicarage, the hall of the country squire, the fashion- able drawing room; we learn how the common people actually lived, what they talked about and laughed about, and how they looked at life. This is the truest kind of history. A single book of Field- ing’'s gives us a more graphic picture of the middle eighteenth century than a whole sheif ot formal histories. In a book like ‘“om Jones" or “loderick Ran- dom’” we get a full breath from tne actual Epgland of the early Georges. Tne master humorft among the early noveiists was Henry kielding, a man who in very many ways reminds us of the gen- ial Richard Steele. Both were impuisive and improvident, fond of convivial joys and reckless living, and both were Kind- hearted, loyal to their friends and full of hearty good cheer and sunny optimism. As ‘a novelist Filelding was the direct forerunner of Thackeray and Dickens. Through all his work there runs a flerce intolerance of shams, of snobbery, of op- pression of the weak by the strong, of in- sincerity and injustice. ‘‘Joseph Andrews is a kind of “Pligrim's Progress.” Al- most the entire book is taken up with the details of 2 single journey in_which in- nocence and simplicity, personified by An- drews and Fanuy and Parson Adams. find at almost every step some new form of wickedness to destroy them. During their progress they come in contact with al- They encounter the hypocritical church- man, the ignorant and cruel lawyer, the unjust Judge, the lewd peasant, the cring- ing and fawning yet heartless landlord, the fine lady, fast'dious concerning the proprieties, yet at heart thoroughly im- moral, and everywhere selfishness and vanity and obsequience to money and gomer. The whole vain and cruel age is fore us, held up for us to laugh at. But there is never any spite at individuals, rever any misanthropy in Fielding's ‘We who are admitted behind the scenes of this great theater of nature,” he declares in one place “(and no author ought to write anything besides diction- arles and spelling books who hath not this privilege) can censure the action with- out concelving any absolute detestation of the person whom. perhaps, nature may not have designed to act an {ll part In 2]l her dramas.” The satire is never di- rected against the person; it is the act that is held up to ridicule. We join In the author's full, hearty laugh, but we feel at the same time the deep pathos that underlies it all. % Joseph, sorely wounded, ‘s visited by Parson Barnabas; He then auestioned him concerning his for- giveness of the thieves. Joseph anawered: “He feared that was more than he could do, for nothing would give him more pleasure than to hear they were taken.”” “‘That,” cries Bar- nabas, ‘“‘is for the sake of justice.” “Yes," said Joseph, “but iIf I was to meet them again I am afraid T should attack them and kili them, too, if I could.” “Doubtless,” answeted Barnabas, “it is lawful to kil a thief; but can you say you forgive them as a Christian ought?’ Joseph desired to know what that forgiveness wa That is,” answered Barna- bas, “to forgive them as—as—it is to forgive thein as—in short, it is to forgive them as a Christiar.”” Joseph replied. he forgave them as-much as he could. ““Weil, well,” sald Bar- nabas, “that will do.” Agam when Parson Adams Is sent to the rich Parson Trulliber to borrow the few shillings that will relieve his great distress, since the good parson has a wide re?umuon for charity, the word seldom belng out of his sermons, he is recefved at first with incredulity, then with actual insults. The parson is/even meditating violence, when his wife/ seeing him clench his fist, interposes and begs him not to t{rue Chris- tion and take the law of him." Fielding 1s full of these little hits. His g;‘e! bubble over with good nature. metimes he laughs Dbolsterously, but more often he chuckles slyly to himself over the weaknesses, the vanities, the petty foibles of humanity. Sophia, for Instance, is in deep distress over the misfortunes of Jones. ““Oh, wick- ed, wicked eyes™ she crles, “that have wrought all this mischie How can I ever hold them up again?’ Yet, all the time she is regarding with great satisfac- tion her image In the mirror. Again, Parson - Adams, to convince Wilson of his Suprenie contempt for vanity, offers to walk ten miles to fetch his sermon on that vice. In the same novel the coun- try huntsman, whose dogs have attacked the parson, calls them off at once for fear that they will be spolled by following vermin. Note the irony in this episode of Captain Blifil, who spent much time every day considéring how liable Mr. All- worthy, whose heir he was to be, was to dle of apoplexy: But while the captain was one day busied ia deep contemplations of this kind ome of th most unlucky as well as unseasonable accidents happened to him. The utmost malice of for- tune could indeed have contrived nothing so cruel, so malapropos, so absolutely destructive %o all his schemes. In short. not to keep the reader In long suspense, just at the very in- stant when his heart was exulting I3 medita- tions on_the happiness which would accrue to him by Mr. Allworthy's death, he himself died of an apoplexy. The whole atmosphere of the book is one of sly fun. The very titles of the chapters are amusing: “The reader's neck brought Into danger by a descrip- tion; his escape.” ‘““The morning intro- duced in some fine writing.” “Containing ne of the most bloody battles, or rather uels, that were ever recorded in domes- tle history.” *‘Better worth reading than all the works of Colley Cibber and many others.” We are never sure whether Fielding is in earnest or not. “It seems,” says Low- ell, “as if the two lobes of the brain were never in perfect unison, so that if eveér one of them be on the point of sur- rendering itself to a fine frenzy of un- qualified enthusiasm, the other watches over it, makes fun of it, renders it un- easy with a vague sense of Incongruity till ‘at last it is forced to laugh when it had rather cry.” He fravely pretends that “Tom Jones™” is a kind of comic “Iliad,” differing from Homer only in its treatment of the more humble circles of life. Instéad of battles between gods and heroes we have fierce fights between kitchen maids and awk- ward boors—'‘as bloody a battle can possibly be fought without the assistance of steel or coid Iron.” He introduces elaborate Homeric similes: miser who hath In some well-bufit city value 20 shillings, when at a dis- tance he Is alarmed with the news of fire, tyrns pale and trembles at his-loss: but whea he finds the beautiful palaces only are burpi 4nd his own cottage remains safe he comes instantly to_himself and smiles at his good fortune; so Sophia, ete. But sometimes no comparison can sat- isfy him. L Reader, we would make a simile cn this occasion, but for two reasons: The first is it would interrupt the description, which shouid be rapid in this part: but that doth not weigh mach, many nts occurring for such an Interrupticn; the secgnd, and much the greater reason is, that we could find no simile adequat. to_our purpose; for, indeed, what instance “coula “m?‘&wflm before our reader s ey:s once friendship, courage, youth, beauty, strength and swiftness? All which Diased in the ‘person of Joseph Andrews. Lot those, therefore, that describe ilons and tigers ~ . comic. Too often he descends to the buf- foonery. the coarse epithets, the ludi- crous situations and hard blows of the early comedy. The battle royal between Moll Seagrim and her detractors, where the lusty amazon puts to ignominious tight the whole parish, is_humor of the most elementary naturé. Parson Adams is beaten in almost every chapter of “Jo- seph Andrews.’ . He is continualiy the vic- tim of ludicrous circumstances. He falls into Parson Trulliber's pig sty He is struck full In the face by a panful of hog blood, thrown by an angry amazon; he is assailed by a kitchen maid with a soaking mop. There is no end to the tricks which the author plays upon him. All this is humor in its crudest form, yet it is all the humor that many can appre- clate. The leading charm of Fielding lies in his nearness to nature. He is not always clean—what that has come out of the eignt- eenth century is’—but he is never im- moral. He is as wholesome as nature herself. Squire Weston is admirably dfawn. His loud halloo echoes through the pages of “Tom Jones™ like the bay of hounds through a forest He is close to pature, joyous as a spring morning and as fresh and free. When Tom lies very sick he Insists on serenading him each morn- ing under his window with the shrill blasts of his horn. He is In full pursuit of his runaway daughfer Sophia when a pack of hounds in full cry crosses his track. Instantly all thoughts of his daughter are lost, and with a mighty shout he dashes in pursuit of the flying pack. “The hounds ran very hard and the squire pursued over ditch and hedge with all his usual vociferation and alae- rity and with all his usual pleasure.” Such a picture could come only from the pe’l’lhnl a true humorist. o only other novellst of the era worthy to be mentioned with Fielding as a humorist is Laurence Sterne, whose reputation rests almost wholly upon his novel, if it may be called a novel, “Trist- ram Shandy” (1758). This chaotic volume is certainly one of the curlosities of Eng- lish literature. Tt is without plot, with- out form and order, without consecutive interest. The hero is not born until well toward the middle of the volume and he is hardly out of dresses when the storv closes. "It is a mere jumble of eccentrici- tles. The reader Is constantly surprised by some fantastic conceit; blackened poses or blank leaves suddénly confront im: omitted chapters to be filled In by his imagination; pages of asterisks and periods; lines and grotesque curves: chap- ters consisting of a single sentence—no mechanical trick has been omitted. The reader is never prepared for the next chapter. “If 1 thought you were able,” the author declar “to form the least judgment or probable conjecture to your- self of what was to come in the next page, T would tear It out of my beok." Mrs. Shandy at a keyhole is on the point of learning what she supposes to be an important secret, but at the critical mo- ment we are disappointed: Laying the edge of her fingers across her I'ps, holding in her breath and bending head a little downward, with a twist of her neck (not toward the door, but from it by which means her ear was brought to the chink) she listened with all her powers. In this attitude [ am determined to let her stand for five minutes, till I bring up the af- fairs of the kitchen to the same period. One should never read “Tristram Shandy” for its smrf. It 1s without form and it would be vold were it not for its characterization and its humor. My Uncle Toby is one of the few really liv- ing figures in English literature. In creating him Sterne shows what he might have done had he been content to leave his fantastic conceits and make an honest, earnest picture of life. Were the whole of “Tristram Shandy” equal In merit to its best pascages it might stand as one of the supreme masterpleces of literature. Sterne was a sentimentalist. “Humor and pathos,” says Raleigh, “are never in their nature far apart; in Sterne they are almost Inextricably combined. His laugh- ter and his tears are so facile and their springs le so near together that the one almost infallibly provokes the other.” There is nowhere a better picture of a kindly soul than Sterne’s Uncle Toby. My Uncle Toby had scarce a heart to re- taliate upon a fly. “Go,” says he one day at dinner, to an overgrown one which had buzzed about 'his nose and tcrmented him cruelly all divner time, and which, after infinite attem he had caught at last as it flew by him. 1 mot hurt thee,” says my Uncle Toby, rising from his chair and going across the room with the fly in his hand; “T'll not hurt a halr of thy head. Go,” says he, lifting up the sash nd opening his hand as he spoke to let it es- cape: “'go, poor devil: get thee gome: why shouid I hurt thee?. This world surely is wide enough to hold both thee and me.' It is not easy to give a sample of the humor of Sterne. It is pervasive and not two her easy to isolate. “It is.” says Cross, “a kind of humor that evokes only the gen- tlest emotions of pity to be followed by the smile. It enfranchises the heart, purging it of melancholy and giving zest to the mere bagatelles of existence.” FRED LEWIS PATTEE. Pennsylvania State College. Permitted to See Her Children. Judge Daingerfield made an order yes- terday permitting Mrs. Caroline Birdsall, formerly the wife of Captain Thomas J. Cunningham of Company K. California Volunteers, to ree her two children, now in the custody of their father, twice a month. Captain Cunningham secured a divorce from his former wife several months ago, and since that time has re- fused to permit her to see her children. Two School Suits. The petition for a writ of mandate flled by George Bates to compel the Board of Education to reinstate him as High School instructor of Latin was argued before Judge Hunt yesterday and submitted for decision. The action by which Superin- tendent Webster seeks to compel the board to recognize his assistant during his absence at meetings of the board was con- tinued for a week. ADVERTISEMENTS.
