Cardinal UlbboiiH In epcaklnx of this Icctiiro pronounces It as of llie very bltthcst literary form. I now himi the honor of nrostmtlnu ; to you thu lion. IcnatliH Donnelly , Mr. Donnelly , m modestly taking the cen ter of the stage , suKKOited to his audience a man who was at pence with all the world. His round , nuldv , clean shaven face with Its benignant , look , is very llko that of folonol JJobcrt O. Itigorsoll , whose "mistakes in lit- fcraturo and volltrlon , " were to bo hold up to the publla gaze by this favorite son of the farmers of tbo nortbwost. Ills well rounded form , vary reminiscent of Hilly Owen's lllulf .lack Falstaff , " was clothed In a dress eult of modern cut and lit and bis shirt , with its thrco gold Buttons , told In a mute but op pressive language thnt Mr. Donnelly was not etaylng up nights worrying over the gross Ingratitude - gratitude shown by tbo world for tbo count of St. Albans , Sir Francis Bacon. To encourage the speaker In bis crusade upon the fame of the Avontan bard there were with him on tbo stase Mr. Hitchcock of the World-Herald , Hon. George W. Unlti- feor , Mr. C. T. Taylor , Mr. Louts Ueed and Kiev. Dr. Mann of the Unitarian church , Mr. Donnelly said : I dcslro In the llrst Ipliico to thankTOU , for the honor you have aono mo in comlne hero this very wnrm night , I attribute It not to any popularity of Iny own , but to tbo Interest taken in tbo creat question which I shall discuss tonight. I bavo been a close student for a number of years of tbo theory which Delia Bacon gave to tbo world In 1850 regarding the authorship of the Shtikcspoaro plays. I fehould have preferred to make this answer to Colonel Inpersoll from the same platform Vlth htm. The publisher of ono of my books Offered to give Colonel Ingorsoll $1,000 to tnect mo In Joint debate In tbo Auditorium In Chicago. But Ingcrsoll declined to meet too. Flo gava an bis roasn for not ticolitis > no that ho did not want to crush mo. Hut 1 would have taken Sny chances of being crushed had ho Iiiot mn in Joint debate for my publisher ofTemi me an additional ? 1.000 should Colonel Jneersoll cross nwords witb mo. Had Colonel Ingprsoll concluded to meet mo ho would have been buttressed by the multi tude in the thought thnt Shakespeare wrote Bhakosppnro's plays. Hut this Is the llrst critic : ; ! ago in which man doubts and does not tnko things for ( rriinloa. In former ages wen bol loved , but this is the ago of news papers , magazines and they have overturned a multitude of things. bhould you go to Switzerland the guldos Would show you where William Toll shot the npplo from his boy's head. They would also tell you the story of that other arrow which vas discovered in Toll's boll and his answer to the Interrogatory , what use ho meant to ninko with the other arrow : "Had I foiled Tyrant Goslcr , I would bavo shot the arrow t thino heart. " Yet , my frlonds , thl ? Is a critical era , as I liavo sulcl before , nnd research has shown that no unh person as Toll or a Geslor over lived , and BO rt Uo It , that while there was tbo man Shakespeare , critical research fails to show that no over wrote ttou uluya ac corded to him. Mr. Ingorsoll in his lecture says thnt the tnau Shakespeare wont to London when bo was eighteen , and later became manager of Blncluriur'.s theater. IJut ncconllng to Hnl- l < lowcll , Phillips nnd other Shakespearian * bo could not hava been In London at tbo time Ingcrsoll implies nor a manager of Ilack- ! friar's , for It was not built until 150(1 ( , ulovon years after Mr. Ingorcoll says ho was the manager of the theater. Sbnkcspcaro held horses In front of Bluett- friar's theater. Ho was nn ignorant boy , yet ho was able to road and wrlto , probably tbo II ret , of his fninIIp. But his writing was so bad thnt nnyono would easily conclude on examination thnt ho wrote very llttlo. I was nt ttio British museum In 18S3 nnd I snld to ono of the librarians , "Show mo some of HUaki'spsuro's writing * , " and ho showed juo a lithographic copy of ono of Shnkospcaro's doeds.Vbnt was the character of Shakespeare's house hold ] His fatbor and mother could nnt read and writo. Ills sister Judith , when sbo rlgned n deed mndo her signature with a pot hook. Yet with thcsa surroundings wo nro asked to bellovo thai Shakospcaro wrote the pluys which Gootbo says "passed n epongo orortho tubloof all the knowledge ot tbo world. " In his boyhood days Shakespeare poaro was a roustabout , nn Idler , and history tells us ho was n laggard nt school nnd was very often whipped for his short comings. Of hi ? mnrrlago there is llttlo known. There Is in evidence n bond which was given by Shukcspcaro to n yeoman of tbo county to mnu-y Ann Hathaway by one publication of tbo banns Instead of three. But wo have no knowledge that the man-logo over took place. Go further. Ho was caught kilting dtor iti Sir Thomas Laoy's deer park , and so this yttting man coming from this Illiterate family coos to London , nnd n short time there comes out n poem culled "Venus nnd Adonis , " nnd Us preface mates that It was "tno llrst heir of William Shakespeare. " U'ho Kngllsh wo speak is the Kngllsh of tha court of Elizabeth. Shakoipoaro spoke a dialect. Yet , my friends , you turn to 'Vonns and Adonis" and It Is the stateliest bit of courtly language produced up to that timo. Tliuro is not a single rfooronco to the rlvor Avon In all his plays , and yet It Is ono of the most beautiful rivers In England. Hums on the contrary Immortalizes the re-ones of bis birth place. "Tha Hanks o' Doon , " "Allowny's ' Haunted Kirk , " Which still Mauds in Its sightly ruins. But Avon , and Stratford hnvo so mention in Shttkcsrcaro's plavs. Now UiUo Francis Bacon. Ho was the count of St. Albans , nnd there are twonty-throo references to St. Albans In the Shakespeare plnyi. The man who wrote Shnkospouro's plays must hnvo road Hnlinii , for there wore no translations In Shukcsponro'a tlmu , and yet half of tbo plays of thu burd of Avon art ) taken ironi the Italian. The plays nro the work of n great scholar , more ttiuti that they are tbo \vorks of u great philanthropist. If genius U nil 11 man wonts , lot us close the publlo Bobool * . Turn to the plays of "Henry > " nuil you will nnd it Is good French. Will Mr. iiitfersoH toll us thnt a man can wrlto coed tYench by Inspiration ! And it Is this Kind of chaff with which the eminent orator has boon tilling tbo ears of the American people ple , Tnko "Coriolanus , " "Antony nnd Cleopatra , " "Julius Caesar , " nnd the critics toll us thov show n profound knowledge of Homau customs. Think you that n man who wns no totally Illiterate as Shakeopoaro Is credited , could have known these tulngal Think you that such a man could have added tUXKJ wonts to the KnulUh language ! In his " 1'ronui of Formularies and Kla- eniicles" wo Jlnil striking Biialo- i'loa between the expression * found In tha plays. Murray's irroat dictionary proves conclusively that tha author of the plays added 5.UOO words to the language , and it Is repulsive to reason to believe that a drunken ntny-nctor could bo capable of mak ing such an impression upon our natlvo tcngno. If ho wore such n literary character why did ho not mention soraothlnif about bl library ana plays Instead of tnklnir care to detail the disposal of his bedstead nnd other household articles. Ho dlod wealthy nnd yet mode no disposition of his plays nor arranged for their publication , They were , however , published tbo very year of his death by his contemporaries , nnd whilst Bacon was still living. Ingorsoll claims that Shakespeare was the OL'credltod author of those plays oven during his lifetime. Wo admit that Hncon published them , but that Ignorance bos fathered thorn on Shukcspouo. If Shakespeare wrote the plays It It a ten-fold greater mlraclj than any that appears In tbo blolo at which Colonel Ingersoll scoffs. It la n most stupendous miracle that nn Ignorant doorstalklng actor could grasp nil the learn ing of the world nnd present it In a garb such as bos elicited tha wonder and admira tion of all the world. Lord Campbell says that from Shakes * pearo's law there was no appeal. The per son who wrote the plays was so brimful of legal knowledge that ho was giving expres sion to It on nil occasions and In all places. A contemporary author declares that the writer of the Sbakospoaro plays was a law yer , and thnt his father before him praotlcod thnt profession. Wo know that Will Shakos- nearo's parents wore densely Ignorant and himself but a poor , untutored actor. I am a member of no church and yet I can not but feel that the solemn sapping sncor hurled at the great fundamental truths , dear toallmon , by Colonel Ingursoll , is silently doing Its destructive work. I cannot believe that the thoughtful part of mo will perish and that the clayey vesture which shrouds tbo spirit ls immortal. Spirit makes tbo man ; and if not a single grain of sand is , an nihilated but is Immortal what can I any of the power which animates matter. Any man who deliberately goes about dossommatlng dor.trmos that sups our faith in the father hood of God and of the kinship of man Is n veritable scourge of God. I take It that the widespread acceptance of such nefarious teachings Is the primary and potent cause of the wonderful Increase of crime and injustico. Excessive civilization is akin to barbarism nnd the signs of the times nro potcntous of social dissolution. What grand moral lessons are con tained In these plays. Behold in Mnc- both now vaulting ambition has run riot and over loaned itself , and O , what terrible remorse seizes bis sanguinary spouse , and lends her to make the quietus. How green- eyed Jealousy rages rampant in Othello , and what temperance oration over rang with a sentiment llko this : "Thnt a man should put thnt into his stomach that will steal away bis brains. " No , ray frlonds , the theory that Francis Bacon Is not to bo ignornntly whis tled down. In a letter to John Davis , a favorite ito at the court of James I , from which Bacon was an ex I lo , ho says : "I pray you to bo good to concealed poets. " ' Toby Matthews n contemporary thanks him for a copy of the plays and says in his note of acknowledge ment tbat they are the most learned and witty productions ot his own or any ether land. Jensen says ' 'ho was filled with all numbers , " which means that he was an adopt in all kinds of verso. Jensen was a clerk to Bacon and therefore Is nn unim- ponchablo witness. Baoon took tbo name Shakespeare as n mere nom do plume as it was as disreputable to bo a play writer as a player in these days. 1'loyora were vagabonds nnd outcasts , and Bacon could not ba known as a dramatist and hold his peerage. Circumstances forced him to hide behind a pseudonym. Hud it been noised abroad that hovas the author of them bo would probably have followed his friend Essex to the block. In about six months I bopo to publish an other work in which I shall prove to mathe matical demonstration that Bacon used a cipher In thcso plays , In which ho tolls his authorship and gives n brief history of his timo. Many who are now scoffers will , I hope , become votaries at the shrlno of the genius of the "wisest , wittiest , ablest of mankind" Lord Francis Bacon. Do Witt's Little Early ttiscrs.

A real lire prince was at the union depot for half an hour yesterday afternoon. Ho was Priuco George ot Greece , nnd to his credit It must bo said that ho is a very flno appearing voung fellow , oven if ho does belong to a royal family. There wasn't so much ns a suspicion of baccarat about him or any of his party. The prince is t ravelins Incognito under the title of Count Folstor , aud Is accompanied by Captain Lohinor , late commander of the Hus- shin cruiser Pamiot Azovo. They were di rect from San Francisco , having arrived there last Tuesday from Vladivostok , SI- borla , via Yokohama , on the steamer Gaelic. Prince George is a man of magnificent pro portions , standing six foot three inches high nnd weighing 310 pounds. His limbs are finely moulded and ho Is a perfect giant in strength. Ho was twenty-two yours old last Thursday. Smoothly shavoa and attired In a cltUon's suit of steel pray and a flannel shirt , with uls rather Horid , boyish face nnd line shnpod head surmounturt by a gray trav eling cap , ho looked for all the -world HUjo a college student out on his vacation. Asian from the pugilistic appearance ongondoroU by his powerful physique , the prince is a very gentlemanly ns well as schol arly young man. Ho Is a nephew of the princess of Wales , who Is a sister of his father , the King of Grueco. Ho is also related to the Grand Duke Nich olas Aloxundrovitch , the czarowltz of Husslo , who Iui3 been limiting a tour in the CUX ( ) ton cruiser Pamiot Azova. The grand duke , after opening , the great Siberian railway , loft overland for St. Petersburg , and a gun boat conveyed Prince George and Captain Lohmo'- Yokohama. The prince was the constant companion of the czarowltz on his trip around the world , and was with him when the Japanese police men attacked the grand duke nnd tried to kill him. Ho is on his way to Copenhagen , Denmark to attend the family reunion which takes place every two years , aud at which It is expected there will bo present seventy- llvo members of the family this year. During his stay hero ho romaluod seated in the smoking compartment of the Pullman , not oblivious of the curiosity manifested to see him , hut apparently Indifferent to the looks shot through the window nt him. Ho continued his Journey eastward on the Bur lington llyor at 4 : l0 ! o'clock. DoWItt'a Llttlo Eariy Ulson ; bist llttlo pllU for dyspepsia , sour stomach , bad breath , for tlm Fourth.

Ono of the Maaf Remarkable Operations on Ecoird Boportod from Philadelphia , PECULIARITY OF THE APPLIANCES USED. Hcrmvis mid n Screwdriver employed HiioooHHt'iilly to Sot n Compound - pound Fracture In a "Woman's Arm. HPnir-Annr.rnrAT Juno 23. Dr. D. Hayes Agnew , President Gnrflold's consulting sur geon , nnd Dr. J , William White , nsslstod by several others , have successfully performed n most remarkable operation on a woman's nrm fractured for two years nod n half. The case is remarkable and the appliances which succeeded aro'still more so , for although famous surrfconn pnrformod the last opera tion , It was nbltof carpentry In which scrowa nnd a screwdriver were Indlspcnslblo , nnd thnt , too , for the first time In tbo history of surgery. Tnroo years ago Miss Harper , then sixteen yean old , lofb homo lor a Boston boarding school. All went woU until about December 2 , 133S , when she fell Into nn elevator shaft a distance of fifty feet. Shu was unconscious several hours and It was ascertained tbat her right arm had struck a projecting cross beam and that she had sustained a compound fracture of the upper third of tbo right humorus , about two inches from the shoulder. Her back was also so badly In jured that she was unable to walk forsovornl months. The fracture was a bad ono and completely prevented tha use of the right nrm. The ragged odeos of the broken bono protruded through the skin and the wound was nn ugly ono , requiring hourly dressing. The fracture was set , but two months elapsed before tbo external wound hcalad. A month later the surgeons found that the broken bono had not reunited and operated for the second time , but unsuccessfully , but from that time until the following August , when the external wound healed , pieces of bono were discharged. Tlio.voung girl wai disconsolate and her general health suffered from the long Illness. Friends urged- her to have the arm ampu tated , fearing lost the long term of sufforinc might provo disastrous to nor constitution , but she refused. Sbo had boon fond of out door sports and the idea of losing her arm was something tcrriblo to nor mind. So she consented to a third operation n year and live months nftor the accident. This time the surgeons wired the ends of the broken bono together and put thu nrm In n plaster of paris dressing , but twelve weeks from that tirao there had been no union of the bono and the wound had not healed. Then Miss Harpoc consulted Dr. White nnd Dr. Agnew und the former operated for tlio fourth time on No vember 0. The patient was etherized. On cutting through the tissue Dr. Whlto found the ends of the bono in a conical shupo nnd greatly wasted away. Moreover the wire bad pulled out of ono end , but re mained sticking through the other. The sur geons sawed oil the ends of the boat ) ob liquely anu placed thorn close to each other. Then n hole was drilled through the two pieces and they were fastened together by a single steel pin. The wound was dressed on tbo eleventh day after the operation nnd nil oxpceted successful results. Some llvo weeks later the wound had closed , but Dr. Whlto found that the troublesome fracture was as bad as ever. Then did Miss Harper's relatives insist that she have the arm amputated. She still refused , and on March ftJ of this year lay again in pnvnto operating room of the university hospital. About tbo table stood Dr. White , Dr. Aguow , Dr. Edward Martin , Dr. William R. Hunter nnd several surgical nurses. Carefully Dr. White cut tbo arm until a wound was made some live Inches long. Then while Drs. Martin nnd Hunter hold the wound open , Drs. Agnew and Whlto drilled two hole * through each end of the fractured bono. Tbat done , they snwod the end obliquely nnd Dr. Martin and Dr. Hunter pulled them to gether until they rested smoothly upon ono another. Whllo they were held there Drs. Agnew and White placed ever the ends n steal plato two nnd ono-hnlf inches long , one- half inch wide and ono-slxtennth of an Inch thick , through which four holes were drilled. A. lonp , strong stool screw was then Inserted by Dr. Agnew , nnd using an ordinary screw driver Dr. White screwed it through the plate nnd through ono of the holes in the bono. Another nnd another screw followed until four had been placed thus nnd the steel Slate was fastened to the end of the bono , aiding the latter together flrmly. Tno wound was then drained and dressed as re quired. When Miss Harper recovered conscious ness in her rooms at the bosnltnl she found the heads of four screws projecting In full sight out of her arm nnd between thorn a queer steel object which Dr. White snld was the handle of the plato. Tbo patient recov ered strength rapidly and at tha end of three weeks the screws had loosened and were rc- niovCd by Dr. Whlto. Not long after wards the wound was cut open nud the plato was lifted. So confident of the success of this latter operation - oration was Dr. White that a fortnight ago ho sailed for Europe , leaving his patient In the charge of his assistant The latter said last nlnht that Miss Harper has fully recov ered the use ot her arm und ho pronounced the bono reunited. Tlio rlaht arm Is n llttlo shorter than the loft , butwbon MU Harper hoard the surgeon's words she was so uo- llghted that sho' forgot all about tbo differ ence In their length. "Excuse , me , George , but when I saw you n year ago your face was covorud with pim ples : It seems to bo nil right now.1' "Yos , sir , that's because I stucic to Ayor's Sarsa- parllln , tlm greatest blood modlclno in the world.

In ISol a party of American minors hud been working1 a claim near Colum bia , Touliimno county , California , and not having oven found "color , " tht > y ho- caino discouraged , the moro BO as u com pany of ( Jliinamon a short distance above them were doing very well , writes Hubert Burgess in the Century. The Americans having expressed a willing ness to sell , ono iluy three Chiimuu'ii wont to look at the claim. They talked It ever among thomsolvo-i , anil llually tusked the owners at what price they would sell. Of fourso the Americans made it out rich and nut a high figure on it , though in face they were resolved Ih soil out at any prlco , bolng fltiro that the ground was worthless. It win decid ed that the Chinamen Bhould hrltig. their picks and pails next ilay anil prospect , and if they were satisfied they would buy at the tiguro agreed upon. The minors , thinking It would prob ably-bo their last ohanuo td sell , determined - mined to salt the claim. It wns a largo piece of pro-mil und the trouble was whereto put the "salt. " Ono o ! the men soon hit upon a very ingenious plan. Ho took a gun arid wont , as ho said , to got a quail or two , but in reality to kill iv snake. As there were a great many about the place , ho soon killed a largo gopher Biialca , which resembles the rat- tlnsmnko in appearance , but is perfectly harmless to man. Putting Ills , game Into a bag ho returned to camp. On being asked by hU companions what he hud brought back for supperho shook out the sntik&'hnd explained his idea thus : 'll1 ' "Now , boys , whon'tho ' Chinamen come tomorrow , they won't allow any of us to bo ' afraid of too near , bccausoi-they're 'salt. ' Well , Jim , yo\\ \ \ walk along on top of the bank ami have that dead Btinko In your pookoc/ ' DIE ! nnd tno will ptay talking to the Johns , I'll have my gutf ever my 8liouldur.as If I was going for a rabbit , only you see I'll put 'salv into tbo gun lnstoiulm ( shot. We'll llnd out whore they arogoing , to pun out next , and you bo 16'olang on , Innocent llko with tno snake ready to drop where I toll you. When tllom fellers start to walk there , just slide him down the bank , nnd when wo all got there , I'll holler 'Hold on , boys' and before they know what's up , FTl lire the salt all nrauntl there and make believe I killed tlio snake. How'll that do ? " Next morning four Chinamen came prepared for work. They tried a. few places , but of course did not got the "color. " The Americans kept at a dis tance so that there could bo no com plaint. "Well , John , " said the schemer , "whore you try next , ever in that cor- norV" The Chinamen were suspicious in a moment. They \voro familiar with BiiltoiL claims , and 'woro well on their guard. " 'No likoo dls corn' . Tile him nuddor corn' , " pointing to tho.'opposlto one. one.Sim , with bis hands in his pockets , was above on the bank many feet away watching ; when lib saw them point in that direction his partner gave a nod and bo pitched the snake on the ground near the place. The leader exclaimed , "Hole on , boys1' ! and lirod before they coulu toll which way to look. Going up to the snake ho pushed the gun under It and carried it away hanging over the barrel. Jim walked off , and Bill sat on a wheelbarrow' on tbo opposite bide from where they were at work. The Chinamen had no suspicion. They car ried away several pans of dirt to wash In a stream near by , and when they re turned Bill felt pretty sure they bad struck some of the "salt , " but the Chinamen said nothing except "Claim no good , Melican man talkeo too mucheo. " The Americans , knowing thogamoro- fuscd to take less thin the spec ! lied price , which the Chinamen finally paid , and in two days the sellers were off to now diggings. The strangest part of the story is that the claim turned out to bo ono of the richest in the district. The Chinamen made a great deal of money , sold out and wont homo. Hnvo You Got a Horse ?

An Imercstlnj : Skqtwli of Iilfo In Far Off Sninntrn. A country where the women own the houses and lands , where gold and silver are common ns the ( lowers in the spring , where everybody Is happy ana nonoay does wrong , is the burden of the story , says the San Francisco Examiner , that W. J. Shaw brings from far-off Sumatra. W. S. Shaw is one of the men who modelled things in this country when it was young and pliable. Ho came from Now York in 1819 .and was about tbo first man to hang olit a lawyer's sign In San Francisco. Ho Von. the cases that .settled tha validitjrot ettlera' titles and resulted in the Van Ness , ordinance ; and he served as a state senator in 1854 , when it was more of an honor to bo a legislator than It is now. "In all my years * of travel , " ho said yesterday , "I never found a happier pop ple than these who live in Sumatra , in the middle part of the Island. The people ple all ever Sumatra are believers in tbo Mohammedan rollgionbut the pecu liar customs which make this particu- cultir people unique and different from all others are confined to ono com munity. "It would not be correct to term this branch of the Sumatra people a tribe , for they do not live in tribal relations at all , although there is a chief and under chieftains. These rulers , however , are not despots , and if the people do not like the way in which they manage things they dispose of' them very shortly and put ether men in their places. "Although men are ostensible chief tains , the women are the real rulers. The customs of the country forbid the giving of u man's property to his chil dren after his death. If a man dies , the property bo owns is given to his father und mother. The woman's property , on the contrary , is given to the children. Probably that Is the custom that Is re sponsible for tbo turning ever of all the wealth of tbo country to the women. "Tho people nro happy there happy as they unn bo. The ohildron live at borne witb their mother the boys until they are thirteen oflourtoo'u nnd tbo girls until tnoy marry. "When the daughter gets married she does not leave her mother's house. An addition is built on a now roof as they call It and the newly married girl makes her homo there and brings up her children. This custom , of course , results In forming quite largo communi ties where there are many children. "I know one of these communities where there were a mother and several daughters living with their children. The original house had grown with ouch marriage until it spread over a largo piece of ground. "When the boys got old enough to leave home , they are taken to 'a com partment house which Is sot aside as a homo for them until they wish to marry. The girl has the right to choose whom she will wed , privilege delegated to her in Mohnnimodan''eountrles. ' "Once married , thovhusbnnd for the rest of his life Is hja. . wife's lover.
