MRS. SHAKESPEARE DIED A WIDOW
An Explanation of the Entry That
Indicates a Second Marriage.
London Letter in New York Tribune.
Some time ago a mare’s nest was found
in these records by an American write -,
who choose to declare that Shakespeare’s
widow—sevea years his eeaior at the start,
and, therefore, 59 years old when ho died—
subsequently contracted another marriage.
Mrs. Stiakespeare survived her husband
seven years, dying at the age of 66. The
entry in the Stratford register of buri 1
contains, agai .st the date of 1623, Aug. 28,
the name of Mrs. Shakespeare aud Anna,
uxor Richard James. These two names,
written o e above toe other, are connected
by a bracket, on tho left side; and this is
the evidence tbat Shakespeare's widow
ma ried agaiq. Tho use of the bracket
could not poesiuly mislead anybody posse-s
--ing the faculty of clear vision.
When two or more persons wore baptized,
or buried, on tho same day. the parish cl rk,
iu making the requisite e itry ii the regis
ter, connected their name* wi-h a bracket.

There are lorty-eigbt zoological gardens

COURTLY JUSTICE FIELD.
The Interesting Personality of the
Man Who Incurred Judge Terry’s
Enmity.
Washington Letter to Philadelphia Fress.
Justice Field is one of the courtliest mun
in pub.ic lifo hero. And his home is en
riched by many curios from his early resi
dence abroad, for from bis loth to his 16th
year he was in Smyrna with his sister
Emilia, who had married a missionary of
the America i board. Hero he learned to
speak uodera Greek with great flue icy, and
acquired a certain cosmopoli an tone of
thought and manner which sits upon him
with c.i arming g ace. He graduated at he
Williams C dlege in 1837, first in his class.
Eleven years later he took his venerable
father abroad with him for a stay of many
months, whore ho ha l gone on"some legal
business for his brother’s firm. In 1849 he
went Pi California, was alcalde of the
Marysville district in the troublous early
days, and reores -nted Yuba county in the
legi-lsture as early as 1851.
He ".is already a bac irlor of considera
bly over 40 when he marri and a ‘laughter of
is California landlady, Miss Swea ingen,
who has ripened into one of tio most pa
trician matrons of the C ipital City, and
until o eor two recent accessions sho was
called the handsomest of the suDrerue cou-t
lilies. They have no children. ‘Mrs. Field’s
pa t cular cult is Sh ipespearo, and she is
the founder and chief patroness of a club of
Snakespeuro lady students, which meets
peripatat ically during the social months.
The marked resemblance of Justice Field
to the busts of Shakespeare, notably in the
high, bald, f irehead an I pointed beard, em
phasizes this fad of his good wife very
pleasantly.
It is pa t of the unwritten social history
of tho last year that Justice and Mrs. Field
resented strongly the action of President
Cleveland in passing him by to appoint
Mr. Fuller. Neither of them attended the
President’s judiciary state dinner, which
was a marked aff out. They, however,
were guests at a dinner given to tho Presi
dent shortly afterward by Postmaster Gen
eral and Mrs. Don Dickinson, at which the
Fullers were also present. In matters of
unofficial consultation it is an open secret
that Chief Justice Fuller, reciprocating tha
coolness on t e part of Justice" Field, uassos
him by and confers instead with his repub
lican right hand neighbor on the be ch.
Justice Mill t, and Mrs. Fuller "runs in” to
Mrs. Miller’s on her way home from mar
keting ina familiar, village-friendshio way,
whereas her acquaintance with Mrs. Field
is of the formal character.

STRANGS ACTI DNS OF ANI !ALS.
They Seem Able to Foretell the Com
lner of an Earthquaice.
From the Youths' Companion.
The lower anima.s are said to be greatly
terrified by earthquakes, and their excite
ment b*fo ehand is sometimes sufficient to
foretell the event. No doubt they know
weil en -ugh that so nethmg terrible is tak
i g place. Prof. Milne, a student of vol
canic paer.omaua, has re -ently given vari
ous instances of their benavior at such
times. During the l'oki > eirtbquake of
1880 cats ran about the houses trying to es
cape; foxe3 barked, and horses attempted t >
kick down the boards confining them in
their sta lea. In the Lisbon ear.hqu ike of
1749 rotch and other tisb in a canal showed
s g is of confusion and fright, and fish have
been known, after an earthquake, to rise to
the surface deidand dying.
Most interesting of all are the observa
tions showing that animals are disturbed
just before a shock. So well ku iwn is this
iact that, for a while after the great Calt
brian earthquake, t.:e neighing of a horse
or t;e cackle of agnsv wis sufficient to
se id the terrified lit labitatits flyi g from
tiieir houses, in expecta i m •>( a other
shock. Poaiei have been known to prance
about their stabs, pheasants to scream,
and frogs to cease enuring a shirt time
before the earth trembl 'd. Tho Japaae e
suv that moles show tueir agitation by bur
rowing.
Birds hide thei • bonds beneath their
wings, and behave in a i unusual manner.
Sometimes immense flicks of sea birds fly
i iland, as if alar med by an oceanic disturb
ance. Before the sliojk of 1885, in Chili,
all the dog, are--ai lto have escaped from
tho citv o: Talca uano.
The most probablo explanation of this ap
parent foreknow odz: is that animals nr i
sensitive to tho slight tremors whic i pre
cede nearly all eartnquakes. Moreover, in
volcanic districts poi* nou* g isessometimes
emanate from the grou nl, and animals are
presumed to bo unpleasantly affected by
them.

Miss Adaline Schroder, J. H. Baddenhook,
Henry Litzge i, Miss Bertha Ehlers and J.
F. Schuler. They will be out in California
some time.
Go eral Manager G. Gunby Jordon of
the Georgia Midland railroad passed
through the city yesterday en route to New
York. He said that he is going to have a
direct connection with Chattanooga in the
shortest possible time. This will be done,
he said, by extending the Georgia Midland

Mr. J. J. Rcily , 30 Whitaker street , Savann ih.
Oa. .*
I)kar Sir—l am a reader of the slorninq
News of your city, and see you advertising so
many fine tilings that we never hear of, or see
down here, tha: 1 nm often tempted to order,
and would, if it were not inconvenient and ex
pensive to have little things corffc bv freight.
At the first opportunity though I am going to
send you an order for several items, which you
can send me in one large box. How about your
Candies? I see you talking very strong about
tiieir fine quality. I often want a box of Fine
Candies to present my friends. lam a little
puzzled to know where to buy, as your paper is
filled with the advertisements of several, all
claiming to have '‘the best Candies in the city ”
I want to get the best. Respectfully vours,
S. J. N .

xr o r Savannah. Aug. 29, 1889,
jfr. S. J. A , Tt aye osx, (in.:
Dear Sir—Yours of the 27th to hand and con
tents noted. In re ly, I ivould sav, that when
ever you see fit to send in the order spoken of,
it will have my best attention.
Yes! I nave toe finest line of Table Luxuries
and Specialties that it is possible to get, and a
stock of these goods, such as cannot be found
anywhere in this country, outside of some few
houses in New York city, Boston, Philadelphia,
or Chicago.
Now, regarding Candies: If you were in Sa
vaunah, intent upon getting some flue Candy,
and would take th ■ trouble to go to each of the
houses you speak of as advertising “flue
candies,’’ w re you anything of a judge of wbat
constitutes even good, pure candy, you would
soon come to the conclusion that there are
ONLY TWO houses in Savannah entitled to
your consideration. Everyone in Savannah
knows who that other party is. Ho has Fine
Caudles—there is no doubt about that. But in
paying this just tribute, to the goods he sells,
please understand that I do not for a moment
admit that they are one tot better than mine, it
as good. For very many reasons, too, I am in
finite! v better fixed on Candies than he is.
1. The house that supplies me my Candies
has nothing whatever to do with my selling
prices. °
2. Illy Candies do not come in one-pound and
half-pound pack iges, but I bring them out in
bulk (so to speak) and pack them here to order
m any stylo and of any kinds wanted. It is
needless tu say that for very many reasons this
means quite a difference in my favor in the cost
of Candies.
3. I have a very extensive line of all kinds of
Candies and Confections, while his stock con
sists entirely of a few packed specialties of a
certain maker.
In conclusi n I would -ay that until I started
my Candy department it was not possible to
obtain any Good Candies in Savannah except
from this tarty, hence, from necessity, all who
wanted Good Candy were obliged to "go his
wa l , Now ' * bough, the situation is changed,
and almost ail who appreciate Fine Caudies
flow in our direction.
For these reasons, therefore, I think you
would do well to place your Candy orders with
me. Yours truly. j. j. REILY.
