There is weeping and wailing in the gypsy tribe that for many years has made its headquarters in this city. Death call- ed to-day and took Walter Boswell, a prince of the nomadic family, son of Onnar, Queen of the tribe, herself a daughter of the great King Palmer, whose death occurred here a few years ago. he blg gypsy camp at Thirty-ninth and Adeline streets has been turned into & tented village of mourning. The aged Queen, and Joslah Boswell, her venerable consort, refuse to be comforted for the Joss of the son, who would succeed, had he lived, to the gypsy throne, commander of all the gypsies of the West. The dead Prince had been i1l for several years, His trouble became serious, and three months ago the family, with its retinue, returned to Oakland, that the sick man might secure medical attend- ance. The camp was restablished, and the young Prince, settling down to a sea- son of rest, improved somewhat; but a sudden change for the worse sent him to bed last night, and Dr. John Fearn was summoned to the camp to attend the heir apparent. The physician found him in a critical condition. He diled twelve hours later. Onnar, the Queen mother, was incon- solable. She is now 78 years of age, and her years have pent her almost to the grave. Her son a native of Califor- nia, having been born 35 years ago at Stockton. There will be a funeral service Tuesday afternoon at the gypsy camp, which as many as possible of the well regime will be summoned to at- tend. The last stopping place of the gypsies was at lone. They came direct to Oak- Jand from that town. Small bands of the rovers are scattered throughout the West, all of them having close fam- ily relations with the Queen in Oakland. Palmer, the dead King, was a direct de- scendant of an English gypsy soverelgn, and he held his scepter of authority over the nomads in this country as firmly as any crowned head of Europe wields. his symbol of kingly power. The dead gypsy Prince was a musiclan by calling. LITTLE BOY ATTACKED AND BITTEN BY A DOG Officer Keyes Beats the Brute Severe- 1y Before He Relinquishes His ‘Hold. ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.—A viclous mongrel dog attacked Harry Lynch, an 8.year-old boy, while he was walking along Park street this morning and chewed up the little fellow's flesh badly in several places. The boy was bitten above and below the right eye, through the nose and the left forearm. The wounds were dressed by Dr. J. A. Riley, after which the boy was able to walk to his home, corner Walnut street and Pacific avenue. The Gog's vldoull( attack was witnessed by Officer C. E. Keyes, who ran to the boy's assistance. As he approached the dog seemed to become more furfous and gnapped at bim. The officer was com- p.nZS‘m use his club to beat the animal off.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway. Feb. 3. The Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People has been cleared of debt during the year just closed. Through the éfforts of the president and board of directors the debt of $400, plus $33 interest. has been liguidated and the institution is now on a satisfactory basis. Mrs. W. T. Shorey, president of the Lome, has made her annual report, show- ing the operations during tne first year of active work. The home was opened February 1, 1900, when Mrs. Harriet Davis was installed as matron. A month later two applicants were admitted. During the year the final payment of intereit on the debt was remitted by Mrs. C. Bosworth. There were eight applications for admission during the year. Mrs. Shorey sdys she was enabled, tirough the assistance of auxiliary No. 1 of Oakland, to place a steam heater in the building at a cost of $127 9. Refer- ring to bequests the president reports: * In connection with the Friedman bequest of fifteen (15) shares of the stock of the San Francisco Gas and Electrle Company, I have to report that the latest information would indicate that owing to a contest of the will recently instituted, this legacy will be tied up for a lon@ time to come, but there are hopes and a fair prospect that the home will ob- tain it eventually, Relating to the Hochstadter matter, con- cerning which the board of directors took ac- tion some time since, I have to report that evervthing had progressed favorably up to a certaln point, and there seemed to be a. falr prospect of obtaining the money, amounting to about $1500, until interested parties inter- fered without warrant or authoritv and this unwarranted interference has placed matters in such shape as to leave little hope of the home ever obtaining it. Acknowledgment is made of a donatio of $0 from D, O. Mills. The president recommends that the admission fee be raised to $250. e Rally to State.Officers.

HOME STUDY CIRCLE FOR CALL READERS Shakespeare’'s Sonnets Evidence His “Myriad-Mindedness” and Reveal the Secrets of His Heart. —_— XXVIIL | There are scveral good reasons whi Shakespeare’s sonnets are comparatively neglected by students of his plays, impor- tant as they are in making a complete es- timate of s work. In the fir: place a sequence of sonnets or short poems, where cne theme Is looked at from ma differ- ent standpoints, is apt to become monot- onous. There is no narrative to conneet them, no unity of description—eniy a cer- tain unity of thought. One feels this dif- ficulty in reading Mrs. Browning's “Son- nets from the Portuguese,” or Tennyson's “In Memoriam.” Only after a very care- ful analysis and study of each detail In | relation to the general structure does :he' proper understanding come to ohe.

When we have thought | £ as the rival of Marlowe we find | that here he is the rival of the polite poets of his day—Sidney, Spenser,, Dan- i The sonnets are altogether dif- ing else he ever wrote nother evidence of his ss.”” Furthermore they are important in making a chronological of his work, for in the opinion of all scholars they form the link be- t his comedies and tragedies. From whatever standpoint we may 0ok at them they give evidence of the darker side of life h as we do not find in his early one gets the tone of the tragedies | here. And, finally. they are interesting because many scholars believe with Words- | worth that in these poems Shakespeare | for once “unlocked his heart” and entered the confessional | I have suggested a much mooted prob- | lem among Shakespearean scholars. As Furnival say The great question is, do the sonnets speak his own heart or not?" Recent critics are not agreed on this roint. Sidney Lee in his recently pub- lished “Life of Shakespeare” argues with | censiderable force that there is nothing | to be gained from the attempt to read the | life of the dramatist into his sonnets: | that they are “exerelses’” that Shakes- | peare set himself to because every other | poet of the day was writing sonnets. InA‘ | support of this theory he finds parallel passages for almost all the sonnets in_the poetry- of the éay or in that of the Con- | tinent. They are “a medley of imitative studies” and “produce dramatically the {llusion of a dramatic confession.” On the | other hand, Brandes, Furnival and Dow- | den, not to mention others. argue that | Shakespeare s altogether subjective and | plucks out the heart of his mystery. | Let us look a little more closely at these | two theorles, for there is truth in both of | them—or. rather, the truth is midway be- | tween the two. There was a “sonnetteer- | ing rage” in England between 1391 and | 1597. The fashion had come from France | and Italy and found expression In Sid- | s ‘“Astrovhel and Stella,” Sidney’s | “Amorettt,” Drayton’s “Idea.” ete. To be | a fashionable poet, popular especially with the noblemen end with the aristo- cratic authors. one must write this kind of verse. Within six years 1200 sonnets of | the amorous kind appeared in England. | Shakespeare “applied himself with all the | force of his poetic genius when the fash- fon was at its height.” Just as he adopted | the conventions of the chronicle-history drama -and comedy and the tragedy of blood, so he adopted those of the sonnet. Many. of the expressions are thoroughly conventional: whole sonnets are-imitative of other sonnets; plaglarisms abound. He wrote, as other men did, of death and time and love; he, like other poets, prom- ises his beloved an eternity of fame; he B e WOMAN IS CHARGED WITH SHOPLIFTING Alameda Merchant Says Mrs. Sarai Jaujou Purloined Shoes Fro; His Store. g ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Sarah Jaujou was arrested to-day on a charge of petty larceny preferred by J. D. Rhoades, pro- prietor of the Alameda Shoe Store. Rhoades says that Mrs. Jaujou came into his store last night for the ostensible pur- pose of making a purchase. She left with- out buying anything. After she left he missed a pair of ladies’ shoes. Then he bered some suspiclous movements o the part of Mrs. Jaujou and came to th> conclusion that she had put the foot- gear under her coat when she went out. He got out a search warrant at daylight this morning, went down to the woman's home on San Jose avenue, near Oak street, and found the shoes. The woman was released on $25 cash bail furnished by her husband. —_— e ALUMNI OFFICERS PLAN | RECEPTION AND DANCE Will Be a Military Function and Will Be Held in Native Sons’ Hall.

He was no per- fect man. He had feit the of a misplaced sonnets we have what corre to some of David's Psalm: There muchn of the Romeo in His make-up, he suffered all the spiritual miser one of his deep sensitiveness could feel. That is, after all, the most significant thing in these poems. Underneath the plot suggested, underneath the special themes treated, we hear the stra o undoubted spiritual misery, we feel that in some such way Shakespeare was made aware of the burden of the mystery of all this unintelligible world. How did he pass from the joy of the comedies and histories to the tragedies underlying his ? Through some such suffer- ings as a bed in the sonnets. Hers we have what corresponds to similar ex- periences in the lives of Goethe and Car- iyle and many other men who have pass. ed through the Everlasting No. - While in his tragedles he was to give expression to the awful tragedy of the world through Hamlet, Lear, Othello, etc., in the sonnets we have his own - indictment of the world about him. I doubt if there is anywhere In so short a space an expression of the “wrongness’” of the world that surpasses the sixt: sixth sonnet—one of those “‘superbly final things that only Shakespeare could write: Tired with all these, for restful death I cry; As, to behold a desert a beggar bornm, And meedy nothing trimmed in jollity, And purest faith unhappily forsworn, And gilded honor shamefuily misplaced, And malden virtue rudely strumpeted, And right perfection wrongfully mispla And strength by Hmping sway disabled, And art made fongue-tied by authority, And folly (doctor-like) controlling skill, simple truthi miscalled simplictty. And captive good attending captaln fil; Tired with all these, from thess would I be gone, Save that, to dle, T leave my love alona. The poet seems to have his mind stirred with a sense of the decay of all things. Death is a reality to him, for he speaks of “friends hid in death’s dateless night.” He realizes the victorious march of time in sonnets 34 and 3: O how shall summer’s honey breath hold out, Against the wreckful siege of battering days, Or what strong hand can hold his swift foof ok ? Or who his spofl of beauty can forbid? EDWIN MIMS, Trinity College, N. C. street, 110 N of Orchard, N 50 by W 150, lot 13, block B, Armes Tract, Oakland: $2500. A.

A Theatrical Usher Who Knows How to Look Gloomy. There is an usher at ong of the down- town theaters who is a professional pail- bearer during the day. “T get,” he says, *$2 30 for every pallbearing engagement, and 1 like the work. It s, you see, such a. complete and pleasant change from my theatrical employment. 1 must wear a gala smile at the theater at all times, and the sayety there. the mirth and light. heartedness prove very monotonous. I long for something different. I go tc a funeral in gloomy black, with a lcok of gloom in my eyes, and the sobs I r, the groans. the lamentations and the lugubrjous music are very soothing to me after the eternal heartless jollity of the playhouse. The two kinds of work di- versify my life: I touch on two extremes: I make, ®besides, a good deal of money. 1 have made 330 a week as a pallbearer. At the theater my salary is omly 37 5. There are certain perquisites at the theater, however: perquisites won through seating people, which materially hcfi- my income. It is not an ugo. 8 among us theater ushers to %fin during the day.”—Philadelphia Record.
