EVIDENCE OF LITTLE WORTH Illegibility of SbaksspMrs's Signature Dots Not Prove He Old Not Writ the Immortal Plays. Sorao years ago, when the Shakes peare icoutroveroy was nt Its height, one of the contentions -of- the party who declared thut the bard uot only had not written the Immortal plnys but could not even write his own name, gave as evidence the existing signatures thut are of undoubted au thenticity. On the same grounds It might be argued that Richard III was unable to write. If one decided the matter from the signature to a treaty- ot peace with Francis, Duke of Brittany, which Is reproduced In a London deal er's catalogue just received. It Is a mystery how the cataloguer, mnnnged to inuke "Richard Rex" out of the shaky" scribble which Is there reproduced. It would be quite as like ly to stand for Will Shakespeare, were It not that the smaller word stands second and the, longer one first. , Barnum Generous Manager.

He established in Paris a school of crime from which such youngsters as "Charley Bates" and the "Artful . Dodger" graduated Stimulated by an Injection of mor phine or some other drug, they went out to do great deeds In the criminal line. When the "school" was raided the principal escaped, but evidence was found to show his part In soma daring crimes.
