of the fart that al! of the hatches were

The descent was 50 gradual that It was

one of the footmen, who had but re

thereby saving him, if not from break

Injury.
Devoted as Queen Christina is to her 1

LONDON, Jan. 4.—If Dr. Karl Bieib-

announced his remarkahle theory that

last three centuries the world has re
garded as Shakespeare's were in renli-
ty written by Roger. Earl of Rutland,
expected the English-speaking peoples
to be startled by his declaration, he
must be keenly disappointed.
The sensation has caused nothing but
merriment in England. jbt*n the Ba
conians are laughing, in spite of the
fact that tile doctor has complctely
lgnored their idol. Indeed, it is diffi
cult to imagine any other reception
for a theory which Is founded upon
a promise so feeble. Everybody has
not heard of Doctor RIeihtreu. and for
those to whom his name is unknown.
it may be said that in Germany he
has distinguished himself by writing
an admirable “History of English- Lit
erature." In this work he examines
k the Baconian and other theories of au
thorship in the plays, and ridicules the
pretensions of those who would put
lion's robes upon Lord Bacon. The
pportunity now arises for some gentle
..erary historian to do similar service
fir the doctor's pretensions for the fifth

These April fifteenths were groat
days for twenty years and more aft* r
the war, but while they were more a
elaborate and more improved by the
replacing of the hand engine with
steam engines for real enjoyment and
royal rivalry they were nothing to the
older days with the tubs.
The old department furnished many }
a good soldier to the Confederacy. The '
Volunteers and Rifles took nearly all
of the hook and ladder company, tho
.Tackson and German Artillery was
furnished splendid material from No.
2. and Young America furnished one
entire company, the Thomson Guards.
For four years the department was
made up of boys and old men who
fought both fire and Yankees.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.—The following

land and Scotland, and is thoroughly
familiar with Rritish institutions and
literature. Rut he declares first that
• Shakespeare could not have written
the plays, because he was a low come
dian, who got drunk with appropriate
regularity. He also decides that
Shakespeare was incapable of the wide
learning and knowledge of other coun
tries disclosed in tho plays. These
statements appear to settle Shakes
peare from the doctor's point of view.
Satisfied that a low comedian who
got drunk could not write the plays,
the doctor proceeds to hunt up some
retiring genius upon whom he may be
stow the plays. After diligent search
be found the Duke of Rutland, who
was born in October. 1576. had been
out of the country at times when no
new Shakespearean (days were pro
duced; that he died a year after the
last Shakespearean play. "The Tem
pest.” was given to the public. There- |
fore, the Duke of Rutland was Shake-
_ speare. Surely, no literary method ever
’ was so simple.
As Doctor Blelbtreu's book. “The
True Shakespeare.” has not yet been
published, his theory is only known
from advance no'ice in the German
newspapers. From the--e it appears
that he has traced the Earl’s move
ments during years when there was
little Shakespearean activity. He fails,
however, to explain the remarkable
genius of his “true Shakespeare" who
must have written his first play,
“Love's Labor Lost." at the age of 17.
That cornedv, to be sure, is the poore -t
of the Shakespearean plays, but It is
folly to contend that a boy of 17 was
equal* to it.
Although Dr. Walther Turszinzky,
an eminent German literary critic.'
hairs Doctor RIeihtreu as a “literary
Columbus.” English critics, especially
Shakespearean scholars, say the theorv
is “absurd” or "rubbish." Professor
Dowden. of Dublin, srt\s it is entirely
unjustified by the evidence, and Doc
tor Fhirnivaii. one of the most eminent
Shakespearean scholars. takes the
trouble to refute the theory in detail.
Certainly the theory stands upon verv
insecuie foundations when it charac
terizes Shakespeare as a low

from the times when it was consider-

of Spain's room when her children are

Could Not Die in Private.
Moreover, Queen Victoria Eugenie is
haunted by the dread that in the event
of apy fatal consequences at the birth
of her chiid she would not even be per
mitted to die in peace. Thus, when her
sister-in-law, the twenty-two-vear-oid
Princess of the Austria*, lav dving
forty-eight hours after giving' birth ro
a little girl, and the sorrowing mother,
husband, sister and brother were as
sembled around her bed. after she had
received absolution from her confessor,
suddenly the great folding doors of
the apartment were thrown open and
the grand almoner made his appear
ance in state. He was escorted hv*
the habardiers of the Royal Guard, bv
nil the cannons and dignitaries of the
Ghanel Royal, some forty in number,
by the great officers of the court and
of the Government, and by all the
grandees, men and women, in residence
at Madrid who happened to be apprised j
at the time of the impending ceremony.
All bore lighted candles, and dropped
on their knees while the grand almoner,
after administering the viaticum, be
gan to recite the prayers for the dying,
to which the responses were made by
the attendant clergy. Before twenty
minutes had been spent in this manner
i especially in political life, were the
only guests. I f e el that it is pecu-

who might pick him out as a likely
victim for an accusation and arrest?
That’s what he was. So, despite the
unusualness of the picture ho pre
sented, McCardell just held those
hands of his right straight up in the
air till he got into his seat in the New
Rochelle train.
When he got into the seat, however,
his seat-mate, a Naw Rochelle friend
of the humorist’s, poipted to McCar-
dell’s hanging watch chain.
The watch had been neatly removed
from the chain. Alarmed, McCardell
went through himself to see what had
happened.
What had happened was* this:
Mr. McCardell, while trudging
through the station mob with his
bands up in the air, had been neatly
ing first water on the fires and. for
winning the most prizes at the tourna
ments.
Jim Simpson was foreman of this
company after Van Valbenburg. and
made as lively a foreman as any set
of boys could wish.

I am not trying to write history—
ony the recollections of old times. My
memory is not as keen as it once was
(so much the better for me possibly)
and exact dates and names are not
cutting much of a figure in this sketch.
For instance, it avas a long time be
fore I could call to mind where the
hook and ladder company was housed,
and finally had to call on one of its
most honored members, and one who.
in his day, was one of the most ac
tive men in the department, Mr. Eman
uel Isaacs, to tell me. Its home was
in Poplar street, near Second, and
the house stood there not many years
ago. It was the first engine house
built before the war.
No. 1 and 2 had their house in rear
of the old Telegraph building, where
McEvoy has a printing office now.
* * *
Young America had a house on the
corner of Walnut and Second streets,
in one corner of the old Academy lot,
where Mrs. Ingalls now lives. Later,
it went into the new house- on Third
street, fronting on Mulberry', built
just before the war.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s review of trade tomorrow will
say:
“The new year opens bright with
u fi J promise in business c/rrles. no exces
sive stocks being carried over and re
sults of inventories fully meeting san
guine anticipations. It is especially
noticeable in dispatches from the West
that there was less than the custo
mary lull in business during the holi
day season, while bargain sales aro
rapidly disposing of the moderate sup
plies remaining on hand. In the lead
ing industries contracts on the books
are very large and plants operate full
time, except when materials or fuel
can not be secured or finished products
cannot be forwarded to consumers.
There is much complaint from North
western flour mills on this point, and
export trade Is also restricted because
grain and other merchandise fail to
reach the seaboard promptly. To this
delay may be attributed part of the
decrease of $1,749,665 in export from
this port for the last week, as com
pared with the movement a year ago,
while Imports exceeded the very hea-.ly
total for the previous year by $1.
590. Many new contracts for a large
tonnage of steel appeared during the
past week. Business in the primary
market for textiles has been inter
rupted by the holidays and invento
ries, but work is progressing in prep
aration of new lines for the coming
season. A few sales of sheetings have
been made to China, the first export
business from that quarter for a long
time, and more orders could have been
secured by the making of moderate
concessions. Revival of foreign inter
ests tends to strengthen the tone of
a market already decidedly firm. Op
erations are still conservative in men's
wear woolens, although agents are con
fident that activity will soon appear,
but it is still uncertain as to the direc
tion in which developments will come.
Steady absorption of spot cotton and
fear of pressure against the short ac
count in the options market brought
higher quotations and much covering
of outstanding contracts.”

Now that so many years are pa^t,
and damage suits are barred by the
statute of limitation, one can tell of
some of the escapades of No. 3. There
was great rivalry always existing be-
. tween the companies as to. which
would get out of the engine house first
and throw water on a fire. Really this
rivalry existed only between Nos. 1
and 3. So seldom did No. 2. composed
of slow-moving men, get out first that
a shout went up from the other com
panies whenever it was done. But
Young America was alert, and many
is the time that a trick was played
to keep up the record. If no fires oc
curred for any length of time, the boys
grew restless and made a fire. Within
a quarter mile radius of No 3’s engine
house it was difficult to keep an out
house or shed standing. Many and
many times was the torch of the in
cendiary applied simply to get the de- j
artment out and alwavs within reach
of No. 3.
On one occasion—there were dozens
of the same kind—a number of the
members would slip into the engine
house and stand with the rope in their
hands ready to pull cut the little hand
i engine at the cry of fire. One of the
i boys had been sent out -to get the fire
I ready. He lighted the shavings, and
getting far enough away to see the
i blaze and not be in evidence himself,
yelled fire at the top of his voice.
, Then- he ran toward the engine house
i shouting fire every few steps. But the
fire went out before the boys got there
with the engine. The boys got fighting
mad, and the incendiary was made to j
set ’em up.
Another time one of the boys was
ent out on a mission of the same kind.
