STEEL PREFERRED vs. SHAKESPEARE PREFERRED:
Or the Intrusion of Mr. Carnpgie and the Indignation of Miss Corelli.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30. (To the Editor). May
J beg the courtesy of your columns to ask if It
is possible that a new generation of Gastrella
are at -work in Stratford -on-Avon, this time
pulling down the ancient landmarks in Henley
street, adjacent to the tenement to gaze at
which, as.fhe birthplace of Shakespeare, all
the world is making pilgrimages?
The utmost that the researches of 350 years
havo developed is that, at the time of Shake
speare's birth, his father, John Shakespeare,
was the owner of three tenements on the same
side of that meagre little thoroughfare in
ono of whfch his illustrious eon was certainly
born!
Is it worth while to destroy any tenement,
contemporary or ancient, wnlch may contain
a timber of the house in which "William
Shakespeare might have been born?
The occasion is, we are told, the presenta
tion to Stratford-on-Avon of a Carnegie Li
brary. But. purely there is room enough in
Stratford-on-Avon, or in some of its outlying
precincts (for it Is a wholly inland town), to
build as many libraries as may be "desired.
There is little enough of Shakespeare even in
Stratford-on-Avon, Heaven knows! And one
would suppose that that little might be per
mitted to remain. But what makes tho ntory
still more Incredible is that the Honorable
Mayor and Aldermen of Stratrord although Mr.
Carnegie has generously declined even to per
mit his name to be attached to the library at
all (stipulating that it shall be called simply
the Stratford-on-Avon Public Library), and al
though there is the entire count y of Wai
wicksblre to build libraries Jn are puling
down historic, or at least archaic, houses oa
narrow little Henley street, to that they can
save expense by heating the library, when
built, with tho same hot-air or hot-water
plant that is now used to heat another public
building that happens to be near by, namelj,
the so-called "Technical Institute." Even on
the lowest possible the commercial ground. It
eeems incredible that a body of Englishmen,
could proceed to tear down a portion of their
town's stock-in-trade to save a ,few pounds!
But, in such a case as this, in the one town
in Christendom which is held as a shrine by all
humanity, without race or religious or other
possible prejudice, one would suppose that
the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of Stratford-on-Avon
would be afraid to poee en
silhouette for fear of being laughed at through
out Christendom. To save them from being
laughed at, if not tC save for posterity a pos
sible relic of Shakespeare, do you not sup
pose, sir, that a sufficient number of our citi
zens would be willing to make op amongst
them the cost of heating this Stratford-on-Avon
Public Library (a mlnature building accord
ing to the dimensions announced)? But. having
heated that library, I respectfully suggest to
my fellow-citizens that, if we can protest in
no other way against this everlasting fussing
and tinkering and "Restoration" of the very
few remaining -material vestiges of Shake
epeare, we can at least withhold the toll and
tariff and tip demanded of everyone of us who
shows himself In Stratford by every official,
big or little, ecclesiastical, clerical or munici
pal, which appears at present to be used for
this tinkering, etc As for your Stratford
Alderman, he Is a much more dangerous per
son than your mere Gastrell: for whereas your
Gastrell has only the inclination to destroy
something, your Stratford Alderman has the
inclination and the power as well. It would be
pleasant if the Stratford Town Clerk could
enter against a lot of Stratford Town Alder
men of todav. as he entered against
Alderman John Shakespeare to 15S3.
"He doth not come to yo halles nor
hath he In longe time." But the trouble of it
is that he docs come. It is barely 10 years
since the civilized world was protesting at s.
"Restoration" of Trinltx Church, Stratford,
which bid fair to leave the interior of that,
sacred fane as spick and span as a brand-new
beer hall Just fitted up by a steam furniture
company. If this sort of thing keeps on. even
Englishmen will begin to regret that Mr. P. T.
Barnum In 1847, did not succeed in purchasing
all of Stratford-on-Avon that the world cares
about, and setting It up in Bridgeport, Con
necticut. There, at least, it would have been
out of the reach of Stratford-on-Avon Alder
men, and "Restorers' and tlnkerers would
have had to keep their hands off.

HE IS SHIPPING SAILORS
HARRY WHITE DOES NOT
WORRY ABOUT THE LAW.
Has Moved to New Quarters In His
Rivals' Stronghold, but De
nies He "Sells" Sailors.
Mr. Harry White says he is shipping
sallora. Mr. "White stood on the sidewalk
at Sixth and Stark streets yesterday and i
told all about it. Afraid of Mr. Larry
Sullivan and "the Grant boys"? Not ho.
Nor was Mr. Mysterious Billy Smth. of
fistic fame anywhere near to lend him
courage, either; yet Mr. "White talked on.
Mr. White's partners are his brother
and Mr. Mysterious Billy. The firm is
happy to announce to gentlemen tars that
It has a merry boarding-house, supplied
with all manner of luxuries for their com
fort and cheer.
"And we don't need a license," says Mr.
White.
The only boarding-house licensed by
law to entertain sailor guests is that of
Sullivan & Grant, at Second and Glisan
streets. The State Commission has re
fused to allow a license to White Bros,
and the Mysterious. A lawsuit or appeal
is slumbering somewhere or other whose
purpose is to make the Commission
"loosen up." But pending the decision the
rivals of Sullivan & Grant are doing bus
iness; at least they profess to bfe shipping'
sailors. "
"No jury on earth will convict us," say
the Messrs. White and the Mysterious
William.
"We have moved," remarked Mr. White
on the curb, "from Alblna up into town.
We've got a place down in Davis street
between Front and First."
"Isn't that rather close to Sullivan &
Grant?"
"Yes, but we've got to fight 'em on
their own dungplle."
"Are you shipping sailors?"
"Shipping sailors? Huh, ask me. Say,
my boy, any ship captain who wants sail
ors cheap can get 'em from us.
"What's your price "
"Any old price; mostly for nothing."
"About ?10r Sullivan & Grant's price
Is $55.
But Mr. White would not be induced to
confess that he is getting any money at
all. Very craftily he said he was "ship
ping," or "supplying," sailors, not "sell
ing" them.
"There would be plenty of money in it
for us all," -went on Mr. White, "only
Sullivan & Grant want to hog the busi
ness. Ship captains don't care how much
sailors cost, except," and Mr. White ex
plained, "when they can get men for
nothing. But I don't see why Sullivan
stays In the business. He's "got plunder
enough." Mr. White put an adjective be
fore the noun in order to emphasize his
earnestness and continued with a symp
tom of envy:
"Lord, but he's lucky."
Mr. White was asked to name the ships
for which he had supplied sailors.
"Well," he answered, counting his ros
ary, Vthere was. the Saxon and the Win
Win Windsor Park, and and oh, I for
get. We shpped all the sailors those ves
sels needed."
The Saxon sailed from Portland October
11 and the Windsor October 11.
"We've got 21 sailors right now," con
tinued Mr. White, "and we've lost 15 in
the past two weeks. Nothing to do. you
know shipping very dull. Men have to
keep moving. They get restless and we
can't hold, them."

v From Miss CorelU's Pamphlet.
PRESENT IDEA OF THE STRATFORD FREE LIBRARY.
(Sketched from the drawings by Mr. Edgar Flower.)
1. The two cottages, formerly one house, belonging to the Shakespeare family,
which Miss Correlll's protest has saved from demolition. 2. Garden where the two
modern cottages on old foundations have- been destroyed. 3. Birch's shop "straight
ened up" and modernized. 4. The library, running into Birch's shop. 5. The
existing technical institute.
Blest be the man that spares these stones.
And cursed be he that moves my bones.
"When the pious chisel of a Stratford-,
on-Avon stonecutter chipped. out this epi
taph upon the tomb of a townsman,
William Shakespeare, there -was nothing
to Indicate that three centuries later the
moving of adjacent stones would evoke
similar imprecations. But the storm
whose ground swell still surges upon
Stratford was greater than the stonecut
ter could imagine.
It was caused by an Intrusion of Sir.
Carnegie. In his search for sites upon
which to plant libraries the owner of
steel preferred thought of Shakespeare's
birthplace. Shakespeare toeing found In
all Mr. Carnegie's libraries, why should
not Shakespeare's village give a nook for
Mr. Carnegie in return? Straightway a
site was selected, and on Henley street
close to the cottage In which Shake
speare was born. Preparations were made
to tear down four cottages to make room
for the library.
Then the storm broke. Mr. Carnegie
was denounced in language that made
that of the epitaph seem feeble. He was
accused of trying to exalt himself at the
expense of Shakespeare. Cartoons show
ing a huge library with "Carnegie over
the door and a sign, "Entrance to Shake
speare's cottage through reading-room"
were scattered abroad. Others showed
Stratford adorned with huge busts of
Carnegie. Miss Corelli, who lives at
Stratford, dipped her spear In poison and
transfixed the founder of libraries. Others
came to aid him. Sidney Lee. the great
est Shakespearian authority of the day,
attacked Miss Corelli, and then things
became lively. Pamphlets were a-flyln
In de air, and the host of persons, who
care little for Shakespeare but hate Miss
Corelli, became engaged. Lady Colin
Campbell and Mrs. Meynell led In the
attack on Mr. Carnegie, and every liter
ary dovecot In the land was fluttered.
After all the pamphlets have beeu
thrown into waste paper baskets, the re
sult Is a partial victory for both sides. Of
the four cottages purchased by the Laird
I of Sklbo, two are to be torn down. Of
these Mr. Lee says that they were "crude
ly built of brick within living memory,
and were Innocent of all architectural
features." The two nearest thelrth
place date from Shakespeare's day, and
Thomas Nash, who marriea the poet's
grand-daughter, Elizabeth Hall, bought
them, although he did not reside in them.
Miss Corelli, after "soaking" Mr. Car
add, "even with our superior accommo
dations," but didn't.
"Do you know what I think about pol
itics?" queriod Mr. White confidentially.
Inasmuch as the gentleman's rivals are
adherents of the Mitchell faction, such "a.
confession from Mr. White under any clr-
cumstahces would be Interesting, even 'if
not surprising.
"I think Joe Simon Is going to carry the
next primaries."
But Mr. White was straying somewhat
from the point, and was summoned back
again.
"On that license business?" suggested
Mr. White. "What do I care about a
license? Look," throwing back his coat,
"you don't see any badge here, do you?
Well, I'm not Larry Sullivan. He wears
a tag. That's how he does business. But
I don't have to be tagged. I can do busi
ness without.
"And the law? Toung fellow, we could
knock out that law right away if we
wanted to. But what's the use? It don't
amount to .any thing."
Thereupon Mr. White proceeded about
his business of shipping and supplying
sailors, not of "selling" them.
D0CT0E INOCULATES HIMSELF
Des Moines Physician Expects Acci-
dent to Prove Fatal.
DES MOINES. Ia,. Oct. 26. Dr. L. D.
Rood, one of the most prominent phy
sicians In this state, accidentally inocu
lated himself with anti-tetanic serum
while attending a child who was dying of
lockjaw and today Tils friends were start
led by his announcement that he expects
to be dead in one week.
"I am feverishly awaiting the approach
of next Saturday, when I' shall know
whether I am to live or to die," said Dr.
Rood.
Dr. Rood had given the last drop of
serum that remained in DesMolnes to the
child. It was necessary to send to De
troit, Mich'., before he succeeded In get
ting a small quantity of the anttltetanlc
serum for himself. Dr. Scholer and Dr.
Charles Smith were consulted by Dr.
Rood. Dr. Smith said:
"If the inoculation has taken place it
will be known in two or three days, and
then if 6o Dr. Rood must die."
Ousted for Heretical Teachings.
KANSAS CITT. Mo., Oct. 20. Rev. A.
E. Gammage, pastor of the Lawn Avenue
Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kan.,
resigned his pastorate at the evening ser
vice last night at the request of the
board of deacons because of alleged her
etical teachings. Many members of the
church withdrew with Rev. Gammage,
who says he will establish a new church.
J. W. Mode, chairman of the board of
deacons, said:
"The action was taken because we did
not believe Mr. Gammage was 'preaching
the true Baptist religion. He is an ad
vocate of divine healing, and believes men
can become so whole or sanctified that
they can be1 without sin."

negie as she did, had the -courage to in
terview him, and this is how she tolls
of her experience:
My interview with Mr. Carnegie, took place
at the Langham HoteL 1 am glad to say
there was a witness to it in the person of a
gentleman who was much interested in the
preservation of Henley street, and who very
kindly accompanied roe. The interview fur
nished me with considerable amusement, he
cause, as Mr. Camegio did all the talking, it
was not necessary for me to speak. The flrst
few words he uttered concerning Henley street
showed me that be was in absolute ignorance
of the locality of tho houses, and their history.
Considerable fault was found with persons,
who for love of English tradition And Shake
spearian association, sought to save the old
cottages and maintain the simple character
of the street because, so It was said, they
"had not Inspected the site.' But Mr. Car
negie was exactly In the same category. He
had not "inspected tho site." Moreover, he
dId,jiot care about the site, but he offered the
Incongruous spectacle of a professing admirer
of Shakespeare who "did not care" about
houses which Shakespeare saw and perhaps
loved in his lifetime. He preferred a library to
those houses, and plainly said so. He told me
he had paid" "twenty-three hundred pounds"
for the cottages and had handed them over
"without conditions." I remember particularly
his expression, "twenty-three hundred pounds."
because it struck me as unusual. He further
more stated that if Henley street were "as old
as Christ." he would pull it all down, if any
part of it were in dangerous proximity to the
birthplace, in the way of menace from Are. Ho
was and Is, of course, not aware of the dan
gerous proximity of certain malt-houses, which
belong to Messrs Flower; and which, are truly
such a positive menaco to tho birthplace, es
pecially when fires are kept going In them
night and day, that it is astonishing the Trus-.
tees do not have .them removed, together with
the "modern-antique" dwelling oa the forther
side, which Is much nearer to the birthplace
than tho old Shakespearian cottages lately
threatened with destruction, and which has
both light and fire, being an inhabited house.
Mr. Carnegie, however, did not wish to hear
any explanations of the position, or to tc
celvo any statement of proved facts. He im
plied that Shakespeare himself would most
probably like a free library better that the old
houses of his relatives and friends, and this
was the final Impression I received of himself
and his -huxnor. It was, however, distinctly
evident that he had been strongly prejudiced
against me by misrepresentation of both my
self and my motives too strongly prejudiced to
have the reasonable Justice of a well-balanced
and Impartial mind that is honestly willing to
consider both sides.
TWO SHIPS FROM EUROPE
ARTHUR FITGER AND CHRISTEL
REACH PORT YESTERDAY.
Both' Are on the Disengaged List
Poor Demand for Grain
Ships.
Another pair of general cargo ships
from Europe arrived in yesterday after
noon, swelling the list of available grain
tonnage- above 30,000 tons net. Both of
the late arrivals fly the German flag, and
both arc well-known by reason of their
previous visits here. Of the pair, the
bark Chrlstel made the best passage with
a run of 137 days from Antwerp to her
credit, while the Arthur Fitger was out
159 days from Hamburg. Tho Arthur
Fitger comes with inward cargo to Bal
four, Guthrie & Co?, and, so far as known,
neither of the vessels is chartered for
the outwaroVvoyage'. The arrival of these
vessels after fairly good passages for this
season of the year would indicate that
some of the other craft on the en route
list are close at hand. Those expected
next month are the French barks Europe
and Germalne, from Australia. The Eu
rope sailed from Europe early In May, but
put Into an Australian port, and did not
continue her Journey until September 1.
The Germalne sailed from Newcastle Au
gust 21, and, with an average passage,
may be considered fully due.
POOR DEMAND FOR SHIPS.
Vessels Obtainable for Less than 16
Shillings, With No Takers.
With ten grain ships In the river under
charter, Portland exporters are not mak
ing much of an effort to add to their en
gagements until there Is a freer selling
movement in. wheat. Tonnage Is easily
obtainable at about 15s Gd to 16s 3d, but
with no takers for Portland loading. The
British ship Laureston, which has been
lying idle on Puget Sound since August
18, was chartered yesterday by the North
west Warehouse Company to load barley
at Tacoma at 16s 3d, with the option of
wheat at a slightly lower rate. This ves
sel and the Chlltonford, which was char
tered a few days ago by Balfour, Guthrie
& Co., are the only vessels on Puget
founa unaer cnarter ior wneat loading.
although there are eight others there on
the disengaged list. The'Nlobe, which was
idle for a long time on Puget Sound, has
accepted a lumber charter, and is being
provided with bow ports. . She will . load
at Port Blakely for the United Kingdom.
CENTENNIAL IS ASHORE.
Struck on Sandy Beach Near AI-Kl
Point. s
SEATTLE, Oct 26. The Soattle-San
Francisco steamship Centennial is ashore
two miles south of Al-Kl Point and about
seven miles from this cits. About 10 A.
M., while en route from Tacoma to. this
port, she ran on the oeach and Is still
stuck.
A dense fog had settled down over that
section of the Sound, and Captain E. H.
Gillespie, master of the vessel, lost his
S bearings. The Centennial struck bow
on, though .fortunately on a soft, sandy
beach. The captain hopes to get her off
with the high tide about 10 o'clock tomor
row morning.
Longshoremen's New Wage Scale.
The new wage scale of the Longshore
men's Union will go Into effect November
1, stevedore firms and shippers being given
notice to that effect. The working hours
of the men are to be from 7 in the morn
ing until 5 In the afternoon, and between
the same hours for night work. The men
ask time and a half for labor performed
as overtime or during Sundays and legal
holidays. The scale per hour Is as fol
lows: "Wheat, 55 cents; flour, oa cents;
ballast, 55 cents'; coke, 50 cents; cement.
50 cents; brick. 50 cents; coal. 50 cents;
sulphur, 50 cents; salmon, 50 cents; lum
ber, -10 cents; mixed cargoes, 50 cents.
Heretofore the men have worked for 40
cents on lumber, and 50 cents upon other
cargo.

French Bark Picked Up.
HONOLULU, Oct. 26. The second arid
last missing boat of the wrecked French
bark Conetable de RIchemont, was picked
up today by an lnter-island steamer. It

GIRLS m A WALKING HATCH.
Paris Milliner Comes in First, but
Dressmakers Get Other Prizes.
NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-It"ls a longtime
since any. event has caused, such a sen
sation as the walking competition just
held here by the dressmakers working
girls, says a Paris dispatch to the Herald.
The place of the rendezvous was the Gar
dens of the Tullllerles. Here they began
to arrive two hours before 10 o'clock, the
time fixed for the start
The scene Inside the gardens was most
picturesque. There were hundreds of
girls of every kind. Their ages were from
14 to 40, and their costumes were as vaTied
as the wearers. There were 1600 starters
and many of them took the matter quite
seriously. After their numbers were ar
ranged, the warning for the start was
given, and the heavy gates of the garden
swung on their hinges.
By this time the crowd of sightseers
was something enormous; there was not
a vacant inch of space on the place, while
up tho Avenue des Champs Elysees, as
far as the eye could reach, nothing could
be seen but serried lines of spectators.
In the Placo de la Concord, were a
couplo of companies of the Republican
Guards, supplemented """by a score of
mounted men and a large force of police.
With difficulty a space was cleared for the
1600 mldinettes, who faced the starter.
A crack of the pistol and the walk to
Nanterre had begun. Owing to the crowd
there only remained a narrow lane up the
center of the Champs Elysee, and the
starting line at once revolved itself into a
procession. Those who had the luck In
the scramble for places at the start natu
rally were able to keep It without diffi
culty, while. those who had to fall In be
hind had but little hope of forcing their
way to the front
With the marchers started a procession
of automobiles, cabs and cycles, num
bered by the thousands. Tho level ground
to NeuIIly Bridge was covered without
much difficulty, but out In the country
several hills confronted the walkers and
