MACBETH HAD
GOOD TRAITS
INTERESTING LECTURE BY REV.
D. J. STAFFORD, D. D.
Unless tho Render Discovers In Mac
beth That He Was Naturally rt
Good Man nnd That nt No Time
Wns He nn Unconscionable Mur
derer, Shnkespcnro Will Be Im
puted to Havo Written Simply a
Bloody Horror Agnln, tho Womnti
Wns Much to Blnme.
A lent tied and Intensely Interesting
analysis of a Shakespearean master
piece: a presentation ot the choicest
passages of the masterpiece, with rnro
dramatic ability, and a sermon that ot
Itself, divorced of Its capsule, one
would willingly pay to partake of,
was what the Hrockwny entertainment
bureau presented to Its patrons nt tho
Lyceum last night, through the emi
nent lltoratcucr, elocutionist and
preacher, Rev. 1. .1. Stafford, D. U.,
of Washington,
"Macbeth" was his subject. On one
of his previous visits to Scrnnton. Dr.
Stafford gave this same lecture, yet it
can bo safely estimated that those
who heard him before comprised a
goodly part of the audience, which
last night llljeil every scat and. box In
the spacious" Lyceum, lie is a great
favorite as a lecturer In Scrnnton,
nnd his "Macbeth" Is, with Scranton
lans, the favorite number of his ex
tensive repertoire.
Dr. Stafford is one ot the recognized
Shakcspcrlan authorities ot tho day;
he Is professor of elocution and ora
tory at Georgetown university and
tho Catholic university In Washing
ton', and as a pulpiteer ranks among
the leaders in his church. It is not
surprising, then, that when ho essays
a three sided treatment of a. Shakes
pearean subject as Indicated above,
an audience is given a rare treat.
"Macbeth" Is analyzed by Dr. Star
ford as a Ptory In which passion is
pushed to Its limit without once over
stepping, and the greatest sermon on
sin outside ot the sacred book.
His treatment of the titular charac
ter Is widely at variance with that ot
others of the recognized Shakesperean
critics. Dr. Stafford holds that -Macbeth
was a naturally good and manly
man, and that he must bo accepted as
such to save Shakespeare from the
Imputation of having written simply a.
story of dread and horror and blood.
MACBETH ANAIA'ZKD.
The play depicts all that is horrible
In man outlined against all that Is
horrible in nature, but the man was
not naturally horrible. He was good;
temptation came; ho could not resist
the temptation, when that temptation
had as allies, first, the pleadings and
then tho taunts of Lady Macbeth, and
he fell.
Dr. tSafl'ord took issue with the
German critics, who blnniu Macbelb's
crimes on the witches. Something
besides the weird sisters, the doctor
says, must have stirred Macbeth to
the commission of his crimes.
The crucial question In Macbeth, he
declares, is the question of the motive
of crime. Tlio answer is not far to
(ode. Macbeth felt he had a tight to
rule in Scotland and was aggrieved
when Duncan was preferred before
him. Macbeth strove to keep loyal,
lie wavered. There was a constant
conlllet between light and wrong go
int; on within him. There was a
long, gradual and natural develop
ment of his criminality. He was not
unconscionable. If be had been, there
would bo no hesitancy, no remorse, nn
sadness.
Wliile he was In one ot these con
flicts, which raged within him inces
santly, with varying successes, the
hope that he might still come into
his supposed right by succeeding tlio
aged Duncan was destroyed by tins
hitter's declaration nn his return from
the war that young Malcolm was to
bo his successor. Tho woman comes
In and urges him to gratify his ambi
tion. He falls.
lie does not go rashly and heedless
ly at It. He is committed to do It.
but he halts and draws back. Even
after consenting, he makes pvcusoh
to put II off. By thus making Mac
beth hesitate and withdraw, tlio poet
prevents his piece from descending to
tho level of a simple, bloody horror.
It would be Impossible for nn artistic
mind to tolerate it, were it not for
these elements of Macbeth's oharae
t"r which win respect. Were he just
a cold-hlodded murderer, he would bo
Impossible,
STILL HKS1TATINC.
Even after Duncan Is hi the liouso
and the plot is ready to be consum
mated, Macbeth recoils. Ho loaves
tho banquet tnblo and goes to tho
battlements to consider. Then
Lady Macbeth divines what is going
on and follows him to the baltle
nKtits, Macbeth Is thinking of the
dishonor of the thing: Ills king, his
kinsman and, above all, his guest. Ho
also weighs tho fact that tho deed
does not end with Its commission, "If
It were done when 'tM done," lie com

passago "Sleep Is murdered," which
Dr. Stafford says Is the most terrible
passage In literature, Is anotliet Indi
cation that Macbeth was not uncon
scionable. Another redeeming feature of Mac
beth's character, the lecturer pointed
out, was that he did uot cringe like u
coward when called to fnco death at
the hands of the furious McDuff. lie
did not want to light, but not through
cowardice, lie was sick of blood.
When forced to It, though, he fought

WILL SHOW HERE FRIDAY.
Buffnlo Bill to Give Three Perform
ances in Scrnnton.
A sensational stoty to the effect
that Buffalo Rill's Hhnw had passed
by Wilkes-Rarre last. Friday, was de
nied last nfght by Major Rurkc, tho
advance man. The show Is nnt
booked for Wllkes-Barre until this
coming Friday night.
It has been decided, however to
skip Wllkos-Unrre this year, on ac
count of the smallpox scare, and to
'come direct to this city from Easton
on Friday morning nnd play here on
Friday nlcht, in addition to Hie two
performances already booked for
Saturday. Tho parade will be bold as
advertised on Saturday morning.
It was deemed advisable by tho
management for tho sake of prudence
to pklp Wllkes-Barre this year, as It
was feared that If that city was visit
ed it might hurt tho business of the
show for weeks to come, the news of
tho smallpox epidemic In the stir
l minding: towns having been spread
all over the country.
Major T.urke, the press agent for
Buffalo Rill, said last night that the
show people are satisfied that the
scare at Wllkes-Barre Is pretty much
nothing more than a scare, and they
would bo perfectly willing to fill their
date there If it were not for the tim
idity of tliose who have not Investi
gated the matter and who might criti
cize the show management for going
there.

place. Garlleld Anderson nearly
caught up with William Miles and is
was only two points behind for third
place. Miss Meredith passed Frank
Kemmerer, of Factoryvllle, and bolds
sixth position this morning.
The contestants are not advancing
very rapidly and there Is an excellent
opportunity for those who cuter this
week. Mr. Schwenker, who scored
the most points last week, only suc
ceeded In securing an average of six
it day, and probably there are many
young men and women in Seranton, or
some of the surrounding towns, who
could do much better than this. It
is to the advantage of any ot these
to enter now, before tliose already
enrolled succeed in gaining a greater
lead.
A contestant who begins to-day by
securing nine subscribers at one year
each, would be next to the very head
of the list.
