The excellent C of on" or the other is solely a matter of taste us Di. Stafford treats both subjects alik" and each peifectly. His stle. as Indicated already. Is to give the stoiy of the piece, Intel pi ct It as his deep study and reseatch moves him, nnd at appiopiiute times act the chaiaetii-, as an aid In the delineator. Tin: most sritLiMi:. He unhesitatingly pionounies Mnc beth to be the most sublime of all 'ia ikespeaie's pHiductlons. For splen dor of nletuies nnd beauty of diction It ! paitleulaily u'lilque In it the poet pushes eveiv paslon to Its limit and yet by his mnMerful genius avoids any spoiled effect. Oreat as Is the plet e, he eloe'i not allow its chaiacteis to be destroyed by It, Macbeth is as power ful as the piece and so Is Lady Mac beth "Macbeth," the lecturer asseitetl, was wiltten between the jcai.s 1C04 nnd lfilO In honor of King James. Its aigu inent, Indliettly, being that James was descended fiom linnquo, which would tickle the king's vanity by making his genealogj faither 1 caching than that of nnv of those about him. The whole piny Is taken bodily fiom Holllngshead Hven a poition of the conversation between Malt film and Mactlurt is llteially tianslated fiom the story to the nlay It was a beautiful j-toi y as Holllnsshead fiamid It. Shukespeuto's psjchological develop ment made it the gieatest of all pla All that Is teirible in the mind "of man is vvoiked into the play. It Is essentially a teiilble tiagetly. The inoinentaiy appeal ance of the welid sisters at the opening of the play is solely to dispose the listener to expect something tenible The n101.1l of the pla is the pointing out of the supiemncy of the mtual law, the lectuier iiigued Crime, lemoise, punishment is the epitome ot the tale Macbeth was disposed to bo a good man. To make hinun villain, as do some critics, Is to tlestiov the .signiil eance of the play. Macbeth was hon orably ambitious; he vn tempted, he fell. Such is the chaiactei. He and Duncan were about equally entitled to succeed Malcolm. Duncan was pie f ened, Duncan moved to be a weak king. The gigantic Macbeth natuially thought how much bettei light he had to be king than Duncan. Young Mal colm is named Duke of Noithumbei land, which cairled with it the right of succession to the ciown. The only way now left for him to come to the throne It to take It. There was am bition, gradual development of temp tation and finally the fall. Macbeth was self-con uptetl, as Is cveiy bad man. AP.U1VAL OF DPNCAX. Just nt the time when the tempta tion has masteied Macbeth, Duncan comes to the Macbeth castle. Lady Macbeth all while Is unmoved, Mnc beth's uood nntuie is stilling within him. He tan not lest In the pitsence of 'als intended victim. He goes out to think it over. The thought toi lures him. His filend, his kinsman, his king, most of all, his host If the cir cumstnnces weie only dlffeient Not thiough fear, but by the dictates of his conscience he concludes not to do It. To make Macbeth a cold-blooded minder would be like telling the In telligence of the w 01 Id that in Hamlet It has been philosophizing on the lav lugs of a madman for 400 jeais. He has a conscience. The good and bad nie stiuggllng within him for mastery. Lady Macbeth, divining what Is go ing on. aIo leaves the banquet hall and seeks out her husband She culls him i cowaul, telling him he hns alieaily fallen by willing the deed, hut dales not eany It out. He does not defy the taunt He will do it. The descil'itlon or the tc-nlble night which the poet conjuies up for the need Is Intel estlngly elaborated upon by the lectuier. Then, with a recita tion of the passage "Is this n daggi-r I see befoie me?" and timely com ments, he fuither proves the fallacy of the allegation that Macbeth was "old-blooded Then again, for this same purpose and incidentally to bring out the will power of Lady Maebeth, he enacted the scene when Macbeth returns with the bloody dagger the man all teiror, the woman the puson Klcatlon of triumph This passoge, be ginning "Dlds't hear a noise?" Is the most terrible scene In tho teirlble hag edy, Dr Stafford claims, and the thrill ing way In which he acted it made his heureis In peifect ngreement with him. No finer piece of highly emotion al work could be desired. Who, but Shakespeaie, could have Introduced In the veiy beginning of a play such a climax and et sustain unabatlng Interest to the end? the lecturer asked. UHSTLKSS AND FKArtFUL. After this Macbeth would be a good king, and was disposed to be such but couldn't. To "be safely thus" Is now troubling him. H Is restless nnd fear ful, The great physical giant fairly quails In the banquet scene. "Mood will have blood," grndually Infiltrates Itself Into him, and an unspeakably Ir itpiesslble melancholy overcomes his oul. His craving, in his speech with his wife's physician, for some "sweet ob livious antidote," and his remorseful beseeching "Turn buck thy universe mil give me estertlny" are pitiful rev elations of his forsaken and forlorn condition. He cannot icpent for the price the sacilflco of his kingdom he v 111 not pay. The playwright will not let him pass nway detested. We pity him In his death As Macduff stands with venge ful sword nbove him. we find sneak 'ng Into our heart a sense of pity that .Mich a great man should come to such n icgrettnble end. Lady Macbeth, the speaker contend ed, was not as bad as her words, or even action nt first glance, paint her. "I had killed him myself had he not looked so like my father," tells that she has nffectlon. She exhausted her possibilities in one great nctlon; then s!'e became 1111 Inuetlve being, prey to remorse, but uncomplaining. Ilanquo Is the contemptible character of the play. Dr. Staffotd contended, and Macduff is the noble character. Hnnqiio wns n sneak nnd coward, will ing to profit by Macbeth's crimes. He knew of the Intended murder but did nothing to prevent It, nor nfterwards did he move to punish it. He saw In It a help to the fulfillment of the proph ny that he would father a great race of kings. Macduff was the patriot, the tender man, the avenging wan lor. He could feel nml act. PLAY A MAUVKL The play Is a mat vat. Dr Stafford Paid In summing It up, and Macbeth Is the highest cNpiesslon of morality. Tonight Dr. Stafftud lectures on "Hamlet" In Cnrbondnle, and Thurs day nlglu he will lepint "Hamlet" in this citj. MADE WAY FOR SPITTACK. M'nlkcd Along Wj timing Avenue with a Revolver in His Hand.

Rev James Hushes, fotmetly of Klmbeily, South Africa, but now of Seianton, dellvetctl a lecture on "South Afi lea, the Land of Gold and Dln monds." In the Wuyne Avenue Haptlst church last nisht. It was an address that held the t'loe intention of the audience fiom beginning to end. Mr. Hushes said there was room for millions of people In South Africa the greatest gold and diamond piodue Ing country In the wot Id, nnd one of the best openings for the Investment of capital, for all Impnitlul, competent experts have Fiild that the country Is llch In nearly all kinds ot minerals, and that the soli with pinper and ex tensive Iirlgntlon is capable of ptoduc Ing an abundance both foi man nnd beast. Mechanics, builders, carpen ters, and especially miners, are nil well paid fm their labor It Is true that the laboi market, for such men, la too often glutted. This fact is duo not to the limited extent of the lesourees of the countiy, but to the want of moie enteipilse on the pait of capitalists and to the enor mous influx of wmklngmeii fiom neatly every zone of this rolling globe. The almost limitless lesouices of the coun try have only been tnpped and the population Is exceedingly small for such nn extent of teirltoiy. In Cape Colony, which embraces an men of 250,000 sounie miles the population Is smaller than that of Gteater New York. Con.sldeilng the fact that there are but very few manufnctoiles In the whole land, the cost of living Is fnlily moderate, but the domestic comfort of the white population Is far Inferior to what we llnel In older countries. DANGHRS AND HARDSHIPS Mr. Hushes refened lo some of the tlangeis and hardships to which the white people nie subject The heat Is sometimes veiy intense. He took his wife and family one day oul into 11 country district foi the put pose of ren deilng some assistance to a young min ister who felt verv deeply the loneli ness of his situation, for he seldom saw any but black Knlllis nnd a few sutly Dutchman While puceedlng through a certain pass, so Intense was the heat that in about twenty minutes the skin of his wife's face was so scotched that In a very shoit time alter, It all peeled off. While piocecdliiir on the same joui ney thev had to cioss a liver, which was lupldlv lising The hoises got ns far as the mbltltlle of the stieam nnd theie they stubbornly stood. Despite the eloquence tif the lungs and limbs of the dilver, the swelling of the stieam, and n llbeial use of the whip, theie the hoises stood, stolid and immovable The wnter rose until it got into tho bed of the cait, until the childien'.s legs wete some Inches In the water The situation was both painful and perilous, and was becoming mine so eveiy moment The joung mlnlstei. whose cut It was, leaped Into the silent but treat h erous cumnt The watei was up near to his aimplts He pulled at the lelns and shouted and stood up In the cut and made very llbeial use of the lash and waxed most vociferously eloquent, but all to no purnose The water was still lising and the children In the conveyance commenced shouting In tones of agonizing tenor. "Drown, dada! Drown duda." All were peifect ly helpless The moment was big with the most serious eventualities. KAFFIRS TO TIIC RHSCI'L.
