IS SHAKESPEARE OBSOLETE? riytn Crinkle Is of the Opinion Thut the Day of the Classic Drama Uu About Ended Especially In This Country. Nym Crinkle is convinced that Shakespeare's day hus passed. The ac tor uys that this is because the public does not want Shakespeare. The pub lic suya it is because the actor cannot play Shakespeare. And Mr. Crinkle thinks they ure both rlKht. "I heard an Intelligent critic say," he writes, "that as wealth and repose and refine ment increased in a Democratic coun try, Shakespeare would lie in greater demund. This has been said very often In the magazines. But it is dlfllcult to square it with the facts. Assuming this to be true, Shakespeare ought to be oftener played aijd more keenly'np preciated thun he was fifty yeurs ago. But he isn't. We have three times the number of theaters and 75 per cent, less of Shakespeare. In short, we no longer huve a Shakespearean theater at all. Fifty yeurs ago the democracy de manded Shakespearean plays that was one of the reproaches heaped upon For rest the democracy wanted him. They wanted the elder Booth. They support ed K L. Davenport, nnd they hung upon Murdoch and Tom Hainblin and Fanny Kemble, nnd had a riot when Cooke and Macready played Shakes- npnr. If tia l,w,i-.,t,uo u.-.,ittli (,,,.1 leisure incident to the uge of a comA iminlly insured the performance of Shakespeare, England ought to be playing him. Is she? Not a bit of It, The popiUur play for wealth and re finement during the last London seuson was 'Sans dene,' a piece of clever vul garity In which a French woman swept the enthusiasm up with her skirts. Henry Irving keeps Shakes peare in his repertory very much us a fashionable woman keeps a set of Dres den china in her closet to be set out on special occasions and then wushed up and put back again. It does not ap pear thut he plays Benedick or Shy lock, or Hamlet, because there is a popular demand for these roles, but rather because there isn't, and to do them occasionally indicates that he is a little Independent of popular demand. It Is no disparagement of the great poet and master of Kngllsh drama to say that the intelligent public do not wunt him us much as they once did on the stage. You might as well sav thut Homer has ceased to be great because he isn t sung on fW streets. Shakes peare, like every other immortal thing, passes from one stage of appreciation to another. I think Intelligence and culture have learned to see depths in Shakespeare that are bevond the ordin ary actors. We get revised versions of film Just as we do of the Bible, and he s subjected to the higher criticism and lives on with now meanings In the study and in the heart, while the stage is pounding away at the old histrionic conceptions of him."

Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Pont-y-Pridd. S. W., Oct. 10. We have now but two weeks more of engagements left, nnd they will be lllled right through every night, until they ure done, whim, I fancy, we will all feel like heaving a great big sigh as we con template the past six or seven weeks of hard, but nevertheless much enjoyed work, which we will consider, and with out vanity, very well finished. Of course you are aware that It Is no easy matter, this concertlzing night after night, with the fatigues of traveling sometimes thrown in very emphatic ally, and to be up to the inspiration point every evening Is quite u credit to us, especially since we have gotten so used to our audiences that they cannot Interest us very much, no mutter how much we Interest them by our work. It has been quite an experience, and one for which I am very thankful, consid ering it from all points of view. I think that I can say 1 have learned ull there Is to be learned of the art of packing trunks and such traps, and of the quickest und surest way of getting ready to catch a train. Indeed, thwle has grown upon me, during these past weeks, a sort of feeling thut I am "ever ready," like the much-advertised dress stuy, for instant application anywhere. Our voices have all stood the wear and tear remarkably well Indeed we have not failed to win very high praise for every concert-and our violinist charms every one all over, wherever she Is heard. We are all Immensely proud of her, und, of course, Justly so. Market Day in Pontyl'rldd. Todav is market day here in l'ont-y- Prldd. where all the country people come into town to sell their butter and cheeses, and contribute to the public- house keeper's profits. These cheeses are wonderful. Of course everybody has heard of Welsh cheese. Well, It is not made in factories, as our cheese Is, but is made at home in the country here, where every woman who has a cow hus also a cheese press. In Which tnse idieeses. which are made of genu ine milk und cream, are shaped, before bringing to market, w here they are dis posed of to the grocery stores and to the cheese und butter merchant, iney romp in nil sizes, some small ns a din ner plate, while others ure ns large and ponderous as an American car wheel, and weigh as heavy us twenty-five pounds. Today being market day, the town Is full to overflowing with drum mers or "commercials" as they call them here. These traveling men come on Wednesday to deliver ciders given the previous market day (lust ednes- duy) and the shopkeepers buy of them in the morning and then close their shops in the afternoon, opening up the next morning with a flourish, on the strength of having a lot of new things In stock. But speaking of market day re' minds me of Llanelly, where there Is a real market, and a real market duy, to be sure. In the center of the town Is a very large Inclosed space which, once you get into It, seem to be a little town in itself. In its very center stands a large market house, about the size of the armory in Wilkes-Barre, I should Judge, and all over In this pavilion are tables and counters on which are sold poultry, and cheese, and butter and Buch things for the housekeeper's sake alone. As the people who have these tables und booths are unmistakably country people, I suppose they pay a small rent for whatever corner ot this market they occupy with their goods. What I noticed partlcu larly about this part of the market, was the absolute cleanness and prettiness of everything. The poultry Is already dressed for cooking and decorated with parsley, and us dainty as it can be. So also are tho cheeses and the casks ef butter everything simply exquisitely clean. Really, one glance at these mar kets with their clean, dainty arrange' ments and bustling, business-like wo men attendants would be enough to cause tho blush of shume to mount the forehead of the most Indifferent Amerl can butcher or grocer. They are cer tainly way ahead of us In this, I must admit. e went nil through tills mar ket house and then walked through the little streets around the outside of It, which are themselves part of the mar ket, nnd are lined with booths all the way a rou ml. Just like little bits ot stores. In them are sold butcher's meat, like mutton and beef and pork all dressed so cleanly and prettily, und further on ure shawls of Welsh wool und woolen rugs und blankets, which, from the feeling of them, one would think would outlast u century, or fifty years, at least. Some l ine knitted Goods. Then there are Welsh yarns and slm. ply beautifully knitted woolen goods, and everything so remarkably cheap, There are the black and white and black and red Welsh plaids to be found here, too, and basket-ware also of very clever workmanship. As I passed by me snoes, gtusswure, sweetmeats, fruits, toys, shawls in fact, every thing under the sun each little booth attended by Its owner, one. nerhaus. a fakir from London town, while his neighbor, a country-woman from buck in the mountains somewhere, Jostled a Swansea man on her other side, could not help thinking of all I have read about the great fairs at Nlshgl, Novgorod and those other towns In Russia that have such a great trav elers fair every year. I saw the od dest things! 1 can't begin to tell them all, because I cannot express myself correctly.. If 1 could write, what a lot of lovely things I could picture for you, but the flesh Is weak, even though the spirit be willing enough. It was at this market that I saw tliQ real, genuine V elshwoman s national costume for the first time, and as it was under such happy auspices as a Welsh market fair. 1 shall never forget It, We were passing a butter and cheese stand when I caught sight of a big, finely built woman, past middle age but as hearty and healthy looking as a sound apple, dealing out butter to her customers. 1 don t know which would be the most effective In the end to begin at the feet or at the head but I will take the chances and begin Beecham's pills are for bili ousness, bilious headache, dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid liver, dizziness, sick headache bad taste in the month, coated tongue, loss of appetite, sal low skiu, when caused by con stipatiou; and constipation is the most frequent cause of al of them.

Above this was her black nd red plaid flannel oetticoat. which did not reach to the top of her boots, and over this petticoat was a sort of snorter black skirt whlcn was pinned dbck like fan apron over-skirt, and made her look very bulky and heavy, to my unaccustomed eyes. She had on a sort of white waist, linen, I sup pose, over It a black and white plaid shawl folded Quaker fashion across the chest. As the plaids of tills shawl were an inch sauure. and the dear old lady herself was a magnificent, large, muscular specimen of humanity, you may know the effect was very impos ing, to say the least. An Immense Pot-Uat. But to uroceed to the climax. She had a white cap on, which came down over her ears, the ruche forming a sort of frame or halo, for the face, and then over this cap wus an immense black silk pot-hut, fully u foot or fif teen inches high. Oh, but it was high! afterward saw some others, but they were not so high as hers, and they were on more insignificant looking women, too, so I suppose she felt justified In wearing such an Immense hat, because she herself was so big and handsome. I shall always be glad 1 saw that wo man. As 1 just said, we afterward saw other costumes, but they were not so Irreproachable as hers. We passed some fish-women selling cockles, on our way out of this wonderful market, nnd one of our party bought some. We had tnem ror supper and liked them very much. They were the first ones I had ever eaten. It has not gotten cold yet over here, for which we are all devoutly thankful, though we could do with a little less ain. The fall has set in now, I am afraid, nnd we can expect nothing but rain from now on till winter, they tell me. The Salvation army of this place is marching along down the street singlngawayashard us they can men, wointii und children all walking along in the mud. I was very much surprised to find them over here, but when, upon reflection, I remembered that England Is the home of that organization, I did not much wonder at the large and splendidly drilled squads I have met doing missionary work all over here, even In small towns. In Swansea, Car diff, Pont-y-Pridd. Llanelly and cities of that size, they are very numer ous, und seem to do some really effec tive work. 1 slopped one day in Swan sea and listened to one of their cap tains, a young lady, who was preaching, or rather talking, to a crowd of people In the street, and her appearance, speech and manner, all proclaimed edu cation and refinement, and 1 thought, from her harrangue, that she must ba a pi-'Hty brainy girl, too. But I must stop e ft short here, I am going to run up to Cardiff, In company with a young lady from Treforest, and we expect to have a delightfully busy time doing some shopping there In their big shops. Sadie E. Ka'ser. HISTORY OF NATURALIZATION Some of "the Abuses W hich lluve De veloped of l ate. From tho Philadelphia Press. i'lie history of naturullzution in tills country is an Interesting one. The llrst congress under the present form of government took cognizance of the mat ter and passed in 1W a law which re- lUired a residence of two years before an alien could become a citizen. In 17!)u the term of probation was Increased to live years, and in l"as, inspired by a fear of foreign influence In American politics, the term of probation was still further extended to fourteen years. But the latter law did not remain in force long. D urlng the administration of Jefferson the time was again reduced live years and a Residence of three years required before a declaration of inten tions to become a citizen was made, but tills residence requirement was re duced to two years in is:'4. Later changes in the laws while not reducing the time limit huve tended to make them Inconsistent and contradictory and to open loopholes for fraud. The abuses that huve grown up are patent to every one. Regular factories for the manufacture of citizens are set up in large cities just before election and the lowest dregs of the population of Kurope are Invested with the priv ilege of suffrage. The Democratic party in Boston, New York and Chicago de pend largely for their continuance in power on the number of citizens they can turn out of the naturalization mill during the few days before election. One of the witnesses before the Lexow committee sitting in New York testified how he was Instructed to obtain na turalizations. He was furnished with a letter to a Tammany judge saying: "Please naturalize all hands as quickly as possible, and oblige," and was told to get all the men he could, that it did not matter how long they had been in this country and that they would not be asked any questions." Such loose naturalization methods are a menace to American suffrage that cannot be Ignored. This cheapening of citizenship is a disgrace und a shame. Every traveling American feels hu miliated when he finds in London and Paris nnd other large Kuropean cities hundreds of men who boast of their success In getting naturalized after a few weeks residence in America, vot ing and then returning to Europe with the money In their pocket for which they sold their votes. The priceless privilege for which native Americans have to wait twenty-one years Is thrust as the cheapest of gifts upon indigent foreigners. A few efforts have been made to check the evil, such as protests In congress and at public meetings and by the ac tiou of conscientious Judges, lint the problem is too large to be treated by local action. It must be treated by congress or concert of action among the states must be hud. The bill introduced in congress by Governor-elect Outes, of Alabama, goes to the marrow of the matter. It refuses naturalization to liens convicted of crime and avowed anarchists and requires a residence of one year in the state and five years In the United States previous to applica tion for citizenship and confines the right to grant naturalization to the higher state and United States courts, This would go far towards remedying the evil. But If this bill cannot be passed then there should be united ac tion among the states and the scandal stopped of seeing aliens who have sim ply declared their Intentions voting by the side of native born citizens in fif teen states of the Union A QUESTION.

"I have ruined a half dozen pair of white shoes this summer," writes a bright young acquaintance to this de partment, "and yesterday I Just sat down and had a hearty cry when I came home; I had been caught In a ter rible shower, and there! my new white shoes were all muddyi and ruined, I think, beyond reparation. Now, do tell me if there is any remedy, for papa says I Bhan't buy another pair of these 'ridi culous shoes and they are so stylish, you know." Now, if you are a sensi ble girl, you will not worry your father about the matter, but ask your drug gist for a dime's worth of pipe clay; put a little in a dish, dry, and with an old tooth or nailbrush, which has not lost its stiffness, brush the shoes hard; but always the same way as the grain of the leuther, or It will make them rough. Another way is to rup with deodorized benzine llrst, and then put on a coat of pipe clay and let it remain over nlgit. To clean the pretty plaster casts that are often as artistic as the costlier ones, make a thick paste starch cold, of course nnd spread It on the east with a brush. After it dries, remove it by tapping the cast slightly, and then rubbing with a dry clean cloth. You can clean paint brushes that are dried full of paint by putting them lu an old tin can of coal oil. Let them souk several hours, and if they huve been neglected for some time It may take a day or two. Plenty of patience and petroleum will accomplish it. Perhaps you urei getting ready to put up your stoves, and are In despair about the smoky mica in the doors. Slip it out and put it to soak in a dish of vinegar for a few hours, then remove and polish with a soft dry cloth. You will find it us bright as ever. The cleaning of sponges Is as a rule not carefuly attended to, a fact much to be regretted, as nothing is so liable to propagate microbes as a dirty sponge. It should always be rinsed after use in clean, hot water, to which a liberal pinch of borax has been added, knead ing it with the knuckles, squeezing well and placing it on the window-sill to dry in the sunshine, or hanging It up where the air can freely circulate about it. Sponges should never be left In a bag while wet. Slimlness may be re moved by soaking for twenty-four hours In a couple of pints of hot water lu which an ounce of carbonate of soda ordinary washing soda has been dis solved. Sponges in constant use, es pecially small face sponges, swarm with bacteria, and on that account should be thrown away or used for some household cleaning purpose after three or four months use. Irons are pretty sure to gather rust this damp weather and cause a good deal of bad temper in the laundry. Heut them hot, says the Washington Star, men run tnem quite forcibly over a flannel cloth that hus a llberul sprink ling of salt on it.- This will remove every bit of the rust be sure and rub the edges also then run the iron over a greased cloth, or a cloth that has a little white wax or beeswax on It, then treat it to a vigorous rubbing on a perfectly clean white cloth. They will trouble you no more till next time. Change the oil in your lamps quite often if you use them infrequently. 1 don't Know why it Is, but 1 do know that It is a fact that when the oil re mains a week in a lamp that has not been used In that time It gets to smell ing old and rancid, und will scent the whole house. Constant vigilance is the price of a sweet smelling coal oil lamp. It Is a long way ahead of whale oil dips, but Is quite as far removed from the ideal of perfection in Illumination. Motives of economy should lead to the often shaking of carpets, for the dust and dirt that gets ground into them wears them out more than any other agency of destruction. Carpets thut are a long time fastened to the Moor without shaking get to smell musty and moldy, too. They should be taken up every spring and falllf not oftener.
