p lowed by InrtsttntIon throwing doubt ulon
the time and the. manner of the death of
1darioe. The tateucnt that Marlowe died
at the age of 29 in the year 3i93 , b'tng
been slain by his own sword In a trn
brawl , ecm not to have been acctpted by
liii who wrote of the career of this brilliant
youts author ltr. Zel ler examined t11 the
accounts of his death and found tbcu loose
end controdtetory. In Septtnber. 15. lIarco
eT wrote that Marlowe's death was from
the 1ague ; ft 1Z Beard. ( be Puritan. wrote
that he was killed in the streets of London ;
In UI'S ' Meres referred to Bearda nccotnt
ltbout correcting it ; in l&O Vaughn wrote
that be as killed by one named Ingram : "
In the i.ame year Rowland attributed his
+ death to drinhing ; about 1650 Aubery wrote
thatbe was the ieUm of the famous duel of
uhen lIen Jensen killed his adversary ;
and the burial register of the pariSh church
St. . Nicholas. in Deptford , contains the
entry that be was slain by Francis Frazer.
But all this obscurity about the death of
Marlowe and contradiction of those equally
credible does not prove that Sba3espeare
was dariowe , nor een that Marlowe was
competent to write the plays attributed to
Sbalespeare. But Marlowe had great
S genius , all will admit that. and his genius
was recognized at a time when there were
none to do honor to Shakespeare. He was
liberally and even extravagantly praised by
contemporary critics. lie was "the famous
gracer of tragedlnns" "the highest mind
that ever haunted Paul's. " the "king of
poets. " "the muses' darling , " that "tree
soul whoce thing subject stood up to the :
chic in the Pierlan &od. " And this was
praise In striking contrast to anything ut-
tei-ed at the time regarding shakespeare.
As the result of his Investigations Mr.
Zeigler concluded that possibly Marlowe was :
not killed at the earlier date mentioned , ,
but that be lived on at least until 15tS. Ic I

Carroll S. Montgomery sprang something
of a surprise on Judge Scott when the NeW
br aska Children's Home Society contempt
ca se came up for anal argument on the
or der of the judge floing and committing
Pr esident Holmes and Superintendent
Qu ivey. The judge' declared his order about
t'i o weeks flgo , but had postponed formally
si gning It until he could hear authorities
fr om both Attorneys Montgomery for the
de fense and Churebtit for the informers
as to his power to punish for contempt.
T he argument is now in progress , a eontl
ti nuante having been taken at noon , though ,
un til Wednesday , owing to the indispositIon
of the judge to hear asgument during the
w arm hours of the arternoon.
The point raised by Mr. Montgomery is
th at the power of a judge in chambers dur-
in ; vacation Is limited to the statutes. and
th at the itatutcs stop short of conferring
u pen him the necessary pnwer to punish
fo r contempt. His position be bases upon
Se ctIon 3 of article vi of the state con-
St itution , which reads : " 'The several judges
of courts of record shall have such june-
di ction at chambers as may be provided by
la w , " and certain supreme court decisions
a dhering strictly to this constitutional in-
h lhition , such as that rendered by Judge
L alce in , in Elite against Karl' ( Neb. ,
3 11) . and a similar decision in Brown
a gainst Edwards (44 Neb. , ICI ) , rendered in
A pril. lSi5. n these dt.clsions It is un-
e quivocally asserted that. apart from the
e xpress provisions of the statutes. judges
in chambers "have no inherent power
'w hatever. " This brings up the whole ques-
li on Cf punks e power in contempt cases
d uring vaeas.un.
Broadly Ir. Montgomery contends that
t he statutes are defective , both that which
c onfers certain powers on judges In cham-
b ers and that covering habeas corpus pro-
c edure ( sections Z3 to 3T4 of the criminal
c oded in that they have ot expressly vested a
t he u&nes with the power to punish for
c ontempt. and that the judges cannot go
b eyond the statutes because the supreme
c ourt has Said they cannot , that tribunal be-
t ag the one which would review any pro-
c eedings of a judge of the district court.w
E ven granting that the supreme count's po-
s ition , says Mr. Montgomery , may not be
s t.nlcUy correct , still it must pass upon the
a cts of the courts below , and there Is no
r ecourse from Its judgment. If the fault is
a nywhere it is in the law , and , he argues
f urther , to attemat to cure the defects of
s tatutes Is not within the
province of a ju- '
d icial ocer , such being a legIslative funcC
l ion. Mr. Montgomery also warns the judge
o f the danger of beethnlng liable to an ac-
t ion for false imprisonment. a danger that
w ould face both the sheriff and the judge-

CHICAGO , Aug. 16.-According to present
plans , Lafayette , the French hero who came
across the sea. in colonial days with swonii
ansi money to aid the birth of liberty on
American shores , Is to have his crave
marked with a I2ZOOOO monument-a tribute
from the patriotic school children of
America. President McKinley has concurred
In the iIaas of Ferdinand
W. Peck , comC
missioner general to the Paris exposition ,
for the unveiling of this beautiful memorial
at the Paris exosition on the Fourth of
July , 1OO. It is to be the feature of 'Tailed
States day" at the exposition.
At the commissioner general's omce It is
announced that President McKinley will
soon issue a proclamation designating a
day , presumably October 5 , as "Lafayette
day" for general observance in every school
district throughout the United States. Coy-
ernors of states and superintendents or in-
EtflicttOn 'will be urged to co-operate. On
thia date , which is -anniversary of the
surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown , his.
tos-ical exercises will be held In every school
in ( tie country , at which a nominal admis-
Lion fee will be charged. Millions of
pennies and dimes thus received from the
rising generation of American patriots will
be applied to the monument fund. With
100.000 schools and 20.000,000 young patriots
it Is believed that more than enough will
be realized to erect a monument that will
be the pride of two continents. Secretary
of the Treasury Gage has been asked to be
i custodian of the fund sac ! , it is said , has
signified his willingness to do all he can
I to add to the success of this national enter-
. pnise.
Designs for the monument will be sub-
milled next week.

PANA , Ill. , Aug. 16.-A large force of
armed deputy sheriffs and special policemen
were on guard at the mines today , and the
, unbon miners were congregated on the high.
I ways if anything in greater numbers and
apparently more determined than ever that
no nonunion men should pass. Some of the
union miners appeared on the scene with
rides and shotguns , but their leaders in-
duce'd them to return the firearms home.
What few men went to 'work were conveyed
carriages in charge of armed deputies
and police- The operators of the four mines
have now exhausted every effort to induce
the union miners to return to work below
the scale price , but wltboit success. The
operators pronose now to bring In negroes
who will bunk in houses to be erected on
the mining company's property.
The union miners are duperath , having
remained out for five months , submitting to
almost starvation rations. A number have
homes uartiy paid for in building assents-
( ions , and it is feared serious rioting ilI
follow the Importation of outsiders.
The residence of George Snyder , who has
been working at Epningaide caine , was attacked -
tacked and partly demolished by unknown
tnrties last night , and Snyder and family
driven therefrom , Snyder created great cx-
citement by wildly runnIng hail-naked
