Thomas Davidson.
Who Will Care For nilly Now ?
NEW YOHK , August 27. The World to-
nioi row will contain a very elabor.Ua oxposl
tlon of Ignatius Donnelly's attempt to ilo
throne Shakespeare , and award the honor 01
the authorship of the so-called "Shakespearo1
plays to Lord liacon. The nrtlclo Is wrlttor
by Prof. Thomas Davidson , a well knowr
icholar , philosopher and critic , whoso opln
on as to Donnelly's work cannot fall t <
carry great weight. Before examining Don
nelly's work , Mr. lavUlsnn was an onttn
skeptla In regard to the It aeon theory , but lit
now admits ho Is very nine !
shaken in his belief that the play :
ivero written by Shakespeare , am
leclared If they hint coma down to us with
out any authors namu attached they wouli
liave been unhesitatingly attributed to Bacon
lie says he reached this conviction altogctlic
apart from the cipher. The articles glvo i
brief summary of the results reached In Mr
Donnelly's book. The book Is divided Inti
two parts , an aigument and a domonstra
tlon. The former collects , arranges and sum :
up all the argument * that nave been pu
forward In the last thirty years in favor o
the liacon Ian theory nnd adds a lar o mini
ber to them. The author llrst endeavors t <
show that the education nnd character o
William Shakespeare were such that II
is even ildlculoiis to Imagine hi
could have written plays which are distlllet
fiom all the wisdom and learning of tin
world. Ho shows that his education mus
have been extremely nieasre , wnllo that o
the author of the clays was broad and deep
He emphasizes the fact that wo have 111
record of any study on the part of Shake
spoaro. Ills account of Siiakespearo's char
ncter will certainly bo a surprise to moj
readers. Ho shows him to have been stcopei
In almost every kind of vice , to have been i
fornlcator , an adulterer , a usurer and or
pressorof the poor , a drunkard , a systemati
liar , and forger ot pedigrees , dyini
in the prime of life from the results o
a three ( lays' drunken spree. Ho next show
that we have no record that Shakospean
ever owned a lilirarv , or oven a book , am
not a single scrap of manuscript of his ha
over coiiio down to us ; uot even a letter t <
any of the numerous men with whom he 1
known to have been acquainted. Nay , more
that there is extant no letter addressed tohiii
except ono asking for a loan of money. Tlicr
Is nothing to show that Shakespeare was no
very nearly Illiterate. Mr. Donnell
next proves very clearly that whil
the author of the plays was an accoin
pllshcd lawyer , there is nothing to sho\
that Shakespeare ever opened a law book o
was inside a lawyer's olllco except on usui
Ions business.
Having demonstrated to his own satlsfac
tlon that the author of the plays was no
Shakespeare , Mr. Donnelly next proceeds t
prove that ho was Bacon. Aftar ndducin
evidence to show that liacon was a poet , am
the authors of the plays , a profound an
learned philosopher , ho treats of the geogra
phy of the play. Anu her
no brings out some mo-
tell-talo facts. Wnllo neither Stratford
wliero Shakespeare was bori nor Avon I
ever once mentioned in the plays , St. Alban ;
the homo of Bacon , Is mentioned twent ]
tnrmj times. He next allows that the politic
and religion of tha writer of the plnya at
Identical with Bacon's politics and religion
and that what Bacon declared to be Ms grea
life purpose Is fully exemplified In the plays
A chapter Is devoted to Bacon's reason
tor concealment , and hero comes out som
startling facts. It appears not only tha
Bacon wrotfi works which ho never publlcl
acknowledged , but that lie is addressed b
one of his friends as the greatest wit in Knt
land , though not known as such by his ow
name. Among the reasons for concoalmcn
Donnelly puts the political tendency of soiu
of the plays which was to encourage trcasoi
After the argument making the authoralii
of Bacon probable , comes the demonstratlot
that is , the cipher narrative , which has a !
ready aroused so much public interest.

CHICAGO , August 27. The coroner's jui
in the case of the death of Colonel Walter
Babcock returned a verdict yesterday to t
erfect that the deceased came to his dea
from shock and hemotrha'O cause 1 by
pistol ball wound In the abdomen ; and th
while theio was no direct testimony to tl
fact , tlio jury believed from what teatlmoi
It had that the wound was Indicted by San
Dodiro the night of August 1'J at or ne
( iardner , ( Irnndy county , Illinois , and recoi
mnndcd that tha grand jury of ( irnn <
county moro fully lnv slliuto thu ca <
After the jury had retired , niter hearlnc t
testimony. Coroner HerU informed Us imii
bers that Miss Dodge had lofused to ma
any statement whatever in the case , and I
had not subptenacd her because ho knew a !
would not come.
The Inquiry was conducted In Uiocnrone
olllco. Dr. McMann , of ( iardner , belne t
tirst witness called. He related the clrcu
stances of being rung up by Colonel Uahcu
at 5.V last Saturday morning , who t > tat
that he had been shot. Thu wounded mm
vest was open and tliero was a stain on I
shirt. In response to Inquiries Colonel Us
cock refused to tell how or when or where
was shot , though ho said ho would tell t
doctor later. The doctor then described I
treatment of tha patient , how h had li
carried to the depot from his ollico on
lounge , an < l that , ho accompanied him
Chicago at the. wounded man's earnest
quest. The bandage around Colonel llabcock's
body , which the patient said ho had tied him
self , was n towel , but had no dlstlneutsh-
ne marks upon It , except that It
had no frlngo upon It and was ot co.irso
linen. The doctor told Colonel Babcock ho
could not have fastened the towel himself ,
but the Colonel Insisted that ho did. The
doctor saw no buzgy nor heard one about his
house that morning'previous to Colonel llab
cock's arrival. Sauud.iy afternoon ho saw
Miss Dodge nt Clover's house , havine boon
called there by Mr. Clover , who said she was
sick , She was looking badly , complained ot
n hcadacho and n vain In her back. Undid
nut speak of the shooting to Miss Dodge nt
all. The witness then handed Colonel Bab-
cock's ' revolver to DcDUiy-CoronVr Barrett
and took his departure.
Marshal Bull of Gardner , who arrested Miss
Dodge , said that when ho told her ho had n
warrant for her , she answered , "Well , 1 ex
pected It , " but would say nothing more. The
warrant was not read to her because it was
dark.
Fred \i. \ Chase , the Allen conductor with
whom Col. Uabcock went down last Friday
nleht , saw the deceased get < > IT nt the crossing
bovo ( iardner , and itlso noticed that a lady
; ot oil' there too , though the two wern not
.ogolher on the train. Ho would not know
.ho lady If ho saw her attain. She wa cvl-
.lently about twenty-eight or thirty years
3f ace. was barnhcadod , and wore a shawl.
She boarded the train at llncovllle , the first
itatlon above ( Iardner. When the train left
.ho crossing the two were standing some six
'eot npatt , and did not act as though they
knew each other. The conductor had carried
Jabcock to Gardner several times before.
Henry 1' . Caldwell , the boarder at No.
MKo I'ark place , n leal estate dealer , w.i
he ono who burned the towel bandnKO and
Jolonel llabcock's shirts because ho thought
hey were of no use to any ono. Ho told
limply what the newspapers have already
.Hibllslu'd.
Mr. Silas I' . Wheeler , Colonel Babcock's
business partnes , said the dead man had
never told him anything about the shooting.
He did not know that Colonel Babcock hail
any acquaintances in ( iardner. Ho oncnhncl
a business transaction with a Dodge at Card'
ner , and he had once seen n party called
Mis ? Dodge In their olllco seine Unit
'ast February. Ilo did not know tilt'
latino of her business in the olllce , but she
nnulrcd for Colonel Habcock , He was not
: here. She sat there and waited for him t
iltlo while , but loft before hn came. The
.vitnoss told Mr. Babcock that she had been
[ here , but the colonel made no particular ro-
jily. Once some hay was purchased In Gard'
ner for the lirm , but Mr. Wheeler did nol
know of whom it was bought.
Dr. McMann asked to correct his statomenl
by adding that while ho and the colonel won
talking the latter ha.l said once or twice thai
if he had not crasped the revolver he woult
not have been shot.
Two reporters for city papcis who wen
sent down to Gardner to look Into ttio cast
were also examined. One ot thorn said thai
n Mr. Gorman , a neighbor to the Dodires , hac
told him that ho saw Sarah Dodge driving
toward Gardner about 4 o'clock Salurdaj
morning but was not certain any ouo wai
with her. The women folks of ono of tin
neighbors had also told him that a mat
named Babcock came to see Sarah abou
once a mouth , and that ho was there las
Friday nlulit.
The assistant state's attorney of Grund'
county was present , and occasionally bllmei
suggestions to the deputy coroner. Messrs
Wing and Stough , counsel for Miss Dodge
wore also about the room , but did not say i
word at any time during the taking of tin
testimony.

KANSAS CITY. Mo. , Aiuust 27. | 8prclal
Telegram to the UKF. ) Some six weeks ago
a movement was quietly inauguratcl | by Sec
retary K. E. Menges , of the Kansas City
base ball club , looking to the formation o !
a now ami powerful base ball organization.
This crow out of dissatisfaction with tha
constantly shaky condition of the Western
league and the gancratly weak condition of a
majority ot the clubs that have visited her *
this season. Kansas City's experience in
the western league has boon far from satis *
factory to the base ball public , which has
shown Itself amply capable of supporting t
club In n first-class organl/.atlon , nnd whlcli
demands bettor ball playing than can bo put
up by clubs with the iltiaiv
clal back 1111 ; the majoilty of Hit
Western league nines have. The whole trou
ble In the Western league has been that the
smaller towns cannot support losing teams
and the natural couseaucnco has been thai
unless their clubs are well up to the top talk
of disbandmcnt Is at once Indulged In. Thla
Is shown lu the eases of Leavonwortli and
St. Joseph. The former could not oven keep
up a winning team , while St. Joseph , which
had previously supported u club of pomiaul
winners , dropped out when Its icprcscntaJ
lives on the diamond met n series of defeats.
In order to preserve an eight-club organiza
tion and thus prevent general demoralize
tlon in the schedule , a couple of dum'
mlcs had to bo put in ta
( ill the vacancies. Kvon now
It Is not a certainty that there will bo clxhf
clubs In the Western league when the seasou
ends. With thu end In view of placing Kau-
sas Cltv In a league next season in whlcn
the club.1 ; will be financially on an equal with
Kansas City , Secretary Monges opened up a
correspondence with thu representatives oC
clubs In some of the leading cities In the
Northwestern nnd Western leagues. Tha
dea ot thu consolidation ot the strongest
members of the two organizations was ro- >
celved with general favor. Mr. Mcngo3
found ono of the strongest friends of ilia
scheme In Sccretaiy Sam Morton , ot thoClil *
cage National league teiim , who Is A. ( { .
Spauldlng'.s rJght-hand man. Mr. Moiton
at once said Chicago could bo counted In tin
scheme. This does not mean that tha
National league's champion will be a memboi
but another nnd distant club In which Mr.
Spauldlng ami Mr. Morton will bo the princi
pal stockholders. The former would not ob
ject to a second club In Chicazo. i.s It would
not bo likely to hurt the other club and a rich
harvest would bo reaped trom Sunday gnmca
and other privileges which me not permitted
In National league cities. The cities which
will gu to make up the now organization ; ]
and which have already sUnllied a willing
ness to come In are Kansas City , Chicago ,
St. Louis , Milwaukee , St. t'lxul , Dos Moines ,
Minneapolis and Omaha. 1'ieslucnt Threw ,
of the Llncolns , Is desirous of having his
town represented , and the choice for the
cliilith member lies between his
town and St. Louis with chances
slightly in favor of Lincoln , from the
fact that a club in St. Louis In opposition to
thu Browns would not bo likely to pav. A
glniico nt the cities enumerated In this list
will convince people familiar with base ball
mattorn that theio Is not u sinelo city In It
that Is not capable of keeping up a losing
club. Moreover , every city can support a
liist class club and with such linanclal backIng -
Ing the standard ot playimr would bo greatly
elevated. Tne new organization will doubt
less break up both Western and Northwestern
leagues next season , although It Is possible
that they rriftv ontani/.o with six clubs. The
new organl/.dtion'wlii net ellccteithcrleaguo
this season , as thn cities roproscnteuvlI ! fin
ish theif tcheilujes. However a meetIng -
Ing wfll bo held nt the close
of the present season , at which the cities
spoken ot will bo represented and the proper/ /
steps taken tor thu onrani/.ation ot the new
league. Secretary Menges said to-night :
"When wo were dropped trom the National
league last spring , I ( Irmly resolved never to
asU for admission again. Kansas City Is too
far west for the National Icau'tie , and the
eastern clubs cannot r > a blamed for objection
to our admission. 1 did think of trying to
get Into the American association next boa-
Ron , but when the Idea of thu now oiganiia-
tlon mot with such favor 1 lelt It would bo
better to go into It. It will bo n strong nsso-
tlon , and will undoubtedly bo next to the
American association as an organization.
Wo will begin at the close ot this season to
secure a team for next year , and expect to
have our players signed by spring. 1 cannot
tttato.tho pcrsonel of the nine at present , hut
wo have several good players In view. We
will make it a point to secure young and am
bitious players , and hope In this way to build
up a strong club. "
