Bold Attempt Made to Hold Up Wendell Bernhard on Moss Street. Fights Off His Assailants With an Umbrella and the Robbers Seek Safety in Flight. S The police are having ample evidence of | the fact that footpads are in the city, and | although every effort has been made to | capture them they are still at large. With- in a week the bartenders in two saloons have been held up and robbed, one in the Mission Turn Verein Hall and the other in Fred Siefert’s saloon, on Berry street, | between Third and Fourth. | A bold attempt to rob was reported at police headquarters yesterday morning. | Wendell Bernhard, cashier in the Old | Louvre, corner of O'Farrell and Market streets, was the victim. He reported that he left the saloon shortly bhefore 3 o'clock to go to his home, at 12 Moss street. Just ! before he reached his home he noticed | that two men were following him. but he | did not suspect there was anything wrong, | They came up to him rapidly, and one of | them, drawing a révolver and pointin; | at his head, sald, ““Throw up your hands. Bernhard was for an instant nonplussed but quickly recovering himself he attacked | the two robbers with an umbrella that he | fortunately had with him at the time, | shout'ng ‘“Police.”” The attack was so un- | expected that the robbers got scared and fled. They rap In the direction of Sev- enth street, and Bernhard followed them | to the corner in the expectation of meet- | ing a policeman. but none appeared. He | was able to give a good description of the | {wo men and it will be read to the differ- | ent watches. Police Offic r J. N. Morrissey captured a hanger-on about the city saloons, in the act of relleving John Kar | of his wordly goocds in the rear of the Whale saloon, en Third street, between Market and Mission. early vesterday morning. Morrissey had been watching the actions of Murray for some time and saw him follow Kane. On entering the place Murray was caught with his hands in the pockets of his victim. He was taken to the City Hall station and booked on_the charge of robbery. Officer D. J. Driscoll caught Henry £mith in the act of opening the cash reg- {ster in a saloon at 44 Turk street yester- | day morning at 5 o'clock.

THIRTY SHAKESPEARE EVENINGS. —_— XL In 1649 Charles I was beheaded, and England proclaimed itself a common- wealth. Did Willam Shakespeare, who «ed in 1616, appreciate at all the strengtn and the promise of the movement which thought to limit the power of the crown and to increase the power of the people? What was his attitude toward this move- ment? The men who bore the name of Puri- tans were interested primarily in reli- glous reforms. But they couid not de- mand for Parliament the right to discuss | and regulate matters of religion with- out making the same demand in other flelds; Indeed, to their minds religion im- posed rules ug®n the whole of life. It was among the Puritans, especially, that there appeared a steadily increasing in- dependence of mind and a spirit of re- sistance to the extreme claims of the crown. of the Parliament and the people stood t | the sovereign and the nobles, the repre- | sentatives of privilege and inherited au- thority. There were several facts which almost forced Shakespeare to dislike and ant and favor the crown and the nobility The Puritans were intensely to the stage, wishing to suppress theatrical performances whatever. opposed all Dur- ing Shakespeare's life the Puritan au-| thorities of London allowed no playhouse to exist within their jurisdiction. limits. side the city In 1600 the Privy Council issued an order forbidding that | more than two playhouses be maintained in the counties of Middlesex and Surrey but fortunately this order was never en. forced.

In 1565, when the poet's father was bailiff of the city (Mayor we | the corporation enter- | should call him), tained actors at Stratford; but in 162 the Counecil decreed that any Alderman or citizen glving nis consent to the repre- sentation of plays in the Guildhall should be fined ten shillings. In 1612 the fine was increased to £10, one-sixth of th> rice that the poet paid for the larges<t ouse in town and the accompanying land. The dramatist's own wife and Adaughters seem to have become Puritans, and probably felt ashamed of the career of the world's greatest poet. The nobles and the Queen were as friendly to the stage as the Puritans were | hostile. The law compelled a company of players to obtain a license from some member of the higher nobility, permitting ursue &eir calling as his ser- 4 rogues and vagabonds. And Shake- spe fi‘msélf received the patronage of spears the g:enl. He dedicatd his poems to the Earl of Southampton in terms of warm affection. The folio edition of his his_ death, was v 1 after N aiTta. the of Pembrok® and cated to the Earl ?fig‘ Earl of Montgomery, because they had shown to the author “so much favour.” The court opposed the Puritans and encouraged the theater. three prominent separatist Puritans were hanged for sedition. At Christmas. 1534, a record tells us that William Shake- epeare and others played two comedies before her Majesty. Whether the poet was influenced mainiy by the considerations ‘that T have indi- cated or by the natural bias of his mind, there can be little question that Shak peare favored the monarchy and aristoc- racy and disliked any attempt to ex- tend the power of the gen le. When old Menenius Agrippa in “Corfolanus’’ speaks contemptuously of those who it by the fire and presume to know what's done the capitol” we certainly havg an ex- | mres!ion of Shakespeare’s own attitude | Paward the upstart commonality who pre- tend to have an opinion about affairs of government.“The First Part of Henry brutally misrepresents the character of Joan of Arc, and Mr. C. W. Thomas de- “lares that *“The Second Part of Henry VI presents Cade’s rebellion “with a | mendacity, so far as I know, unsurpassed terautre.”” Both plays have been given ‘:%Psame moral—that one of humble birth should confine his attention to humble matters. Although many ideas coursed through the great mind of Shakespeaere, yet, so far as his words indicate, he seems to have been blind to the significance of the great political movement of his time. He probably never even dreamed that such a government as that of our great American republic could exist, much less that it could show a reasonable degree of per- manence and stability. Concerning the plays of “Jullus Caesar™ and “Coriolanus,” we may say that Shakespeare only follows Plutarch in representing the common people of Rome as too fickle, too ignorant, too subject to demagogues to deserve the slightest re- spect. We are forced to agree with Corio- lanus when he tells the populace: “He that depends Upon your favors swims with fins of lead, And hews down oaks with rushes. Hang ye! Trust ve? ‘With every minute you do change a mind. " 1, 1836 But the vigor with which Shakespeare ridicules the Roman mob goes far be- yond anything in Plutarch. It seems clear that the evil smell of the very crowds which thronged his theater and helped to make him rich was most distasteful to the sensitive player-poet. Casca's con- temptuous description of the rabble who “threw up their sweaty nightcaps and uttered such a deal of stinking breath” re- curs many times in differént forms in thoge plays in which the common herd iays a part. Hazlitt, the good democrat, isiikes the play of “Coriolanus”; he is even led to attack the fioollc imagination jtself as a ‘‘momopolizing. aristocratical taculty” of the mind. He says: This is the loglc of the imagination and the passions: which seek to ze what ex- Cites admiration and to heap contempt on Iisery, to raise power into tyranny and to maks tyranny absolute; to thrust down that Which 18 low*still lower, and to make wretches te: to exalt magistrates into kings, kings into gods: to degrade subjects to the rani of slaves, and slaves to the condition of brutes.

The clerk of Chatham is then brought | before Cade charged with being able to | read, write and cast accounts, and with setting coples for boys. He is pronounced gulity and is led off to be hanged. | | _Says Walter Bagehot: “‘An audience which | bona fide entered into the merit of this scena | would never belleve In everybody's suffrage. | They would know that there is such a thing as nonsense; and when a man has once attain- | #d to that deep conception, you may be sure of him ever after. ® * * The author of ‘Cor- folanus’ never belleved ip a mob, and did something toward preventing anybody elss from doing so.”” Another ‘“peculiar tenet | which was ascribed to Shakespeare's political creed,” continues Bagehot. “is a disbellef in the middle classes. We fear he had no opinten of traders. °* * You will generally find that when a ‘citizen’ {s mentioned he does or says something absurd.” Two other bits from “II Henry VI must | be gliven. Cade, striking his staff on Lon- | don stone, utters the following proclama- tlon: Now is Mortimer lord of this eity. And here, sitting upon London stome, I charge and command that, of the .city's the (lfttle) | condutt run nothing but claret wine this yvear | of our refgn.

It will be proved to my face that thou hast men about thee that usually talk of a noun and verb, and such gbominabie words as no Christian ear can endure to hear. Thou hast appointed justices of peace to call poor men before them about matters they were not able to answer.—TV. vil. 32-47 We need to remember that Shakespeare as a dramatist was concerned entirely with what the common people were in his own time and had been in the past. A dramatist_has, perhaps, no call to be a rophet. If in Shakespeare’s own think- Ing he caught no glimpse of the coming day of democratic institutions—and this seems probable—then by so much his reat mind failed him: so much the less ghnkuve-u he. In any case a man is not necessarily guilty of nonsense because he accepts truth not revealed to Shakespeare, or_even to Bagehot. Before finding fault with Shakespears for not believing in the prineiple of self- government in democratic ideals, it is well to ask one's self, “Do I believe in self-gov- ernment? Or do I, perhaps. believe in good government Instéad?’ Shakespeare has Been sald to be hopelessly feudal and aris- tocratie in his political creed, but he cer- tainly believed heartily in good govern- ment.
