IX.— OTHELLO.
The Play as an Acting Drama.
Considered simply as a dream of passion !
In action. . "Othello" is Shakespeare's
greatest play, and the greatest play the
world has seen. "Hamlet" may send its
plummet down to greater depths of wis
dom and philosophy, and may also rise to
much higher nights of poetic expression.
"Macbeth" and "King Lear" may reach
their tragic culminations by a subtler evo
lution of their dramatic motives. But
"Othello," in its swift and certain devel
opment of theme from simple beginning
to awful end. stands supreme. As a trag
edy of elemental human passion It la un
equaled In literature.
The history of "Othello" as an acting
play Justifies these statements. Its popu
larity In this respect, with the possible
without limitations. Tils art was not
universal. Nor was it without many
blemishes that actors of far less ability
anil fame have been guiltless of.
Moreover. Kenn was not phvslcally well
qualified for the realization of many of
the great roles he essayed. Hl3 figure
v.as not commanding; his voice was
harsh and ur.pleasing. But In his best
range, a^id especially when he was in
the full plenitude of his powers, the
fiSie of Edmund Kean's acting eclipses
that of every other actor in tragedy.
The only actress or actor whose
fame is at all comparable with his is
Mrs. Siddons.
Othello was Kean's greatest part. As
to this there is a fullness of evidence.
The elder Booth told Edwin Booth that
"no mortal man could equal Kean In tha
rendering of Othello's despair and rage";
that "his voice when he spoke tho words.
'Farewell, Othello's occupation's gone.'
sounded like the moan of the ocean or
the soughing of the wind through cedars."
. One characteristic of Kean'3 Imper
sonation of Othello Is worth noting.
Actors prior to him. even Garrick. Barry
and John Kemble. had represented
Othello as as African, or. in other words.
a negro. There is nothing in th» play of
"Othello" as Shakespeare wrote it to
Justify this. The ascription of negro
characteristics to Othello by other char
acters in th© play is the outcome, of
Jealousy and hatred. The Othello of
bhakespeare is dark skinned, but not
necessarily a negro. Kean represented
Othello as a "Moor," a Mauritanian, and
nothing more.
Coleridge said of Kean that "seeing him
act was reading Shakespeare by flashes
of lightning." This lightning-like genius
had scarcely displayed Its full brilliancy
before it began to be consumed by its
own heat and flame. Edmund Kean's life
was as sorrowful a tragedy as any he
ever, enacted upon the mimic stage. Ha
who was able to transport thousands by
his portrayal of imaginary passion 3.
which he couM assume or throw off at
will, became the victim of a passion of
his own which he could throw- off only
with hi 3 life.
Kean's last appearance upon th© stags
was in Covent Garden Theater. March
23. 1533. He was then only 46. But for
years the glory of his genius had been
waning, and its power by this time, ex
cept occasionally in flashes, was only the
mere wraith of what it once had been.

Questions for Research and Review.
1. Are you prejudiced against Othello at
the outset? Why? Are you still prejudiced
at the close of act 1? By what means does
the poet cause Othello to grow in your es
teem through the remainder of the play?
2. How does Shakespeare keep us from
sympathizing much with Barbantlo?
3. What Is the dramatic purpose of the*
various scenes in which great affairs of
state are introduced?
4. Is Desdemona equally great with
Othello when both are on trial in the pres
ence of her father? Does Brabantlo's de
scription of Desdemona's character show
complete comprehension of her?
5. Is Desdemona' s lie concerning the
handkerchief a dramatic necessity? How
is her He Just before her death to be re
garded?
6. What Is Othello's motive la killing
Desdemona? Is it jealousy?
7. What use is made of race differences
In bringing on the tragic conclusion of the
play? Is there anything unnatural In Des
demona's love for a Moor? Does Othello
show race peculiarities?
8. Does lago become either better or
worse as the play advances? How explain
Othello's esteem of him?
9. Do you think lago's face and form
completely belled his character? Is he old
or young? Has he any real excuse for his
villainy? Any real motive?
10. How do lago and Richard 111 com
pare as villains? Which is the more artis
tic? Which the more cruel? Which the
more plausible?
11. How does lago gain his ascendency
over Othello in act 3. scene 3? Does he
take lower moral groud apparently? In
the reunion scene (act 2 scene 1> what U
the significance of lago's part?
12. By what means does lago keep Rod
erigo on the road to ruin? What are the
successive steps In Roderlgo's degenera
tion? How often does Roderigo serve the
main plot? At what point does he ceas»
to be necessary?
13. Is Casslo necessary? At what points
In the play?
14. In what scenes is Emilia most ser
viceable to the plot of the play?
15. Is Othello's suicide a dramatic neces
sity?
16. For what sins do the various offend
ers against moral laws pay the axtrema
penalty?

The Ship Was Caught in the October

Water Front.
After being thirty-six hours on her
beam ends and being buffeted by every
wind that blew for thirty-four days off
the Horn, the American ship E. B. Sut
ton finally reached port yesterday. Dur
ing the voyage the Japaneses steward ran
amuck and had to be put in irons to pre
vent him from murdering the captain
and mate and killing himself. There are
1000 cases of lubricating oil among the
cargo of coal, and when It began to leak
Captain Carver was in great straits for
fear of spontaneous combustion. All the
dangers were finally overcome, however,
and the E. B. Sutton reached port with
the Japanese steward in irons.
Joe Koch was shipped in Philadelphia
and proved himself to be a surly individu
al from the start. He had to be repri
manded on several occasions, but made
no outbreak until last week. Last Fri
day he had not been attending to his work
and when spoken to about It started for
ward after telling the Japanese cook that
he was going to kill Captain Carver, Mate
Saunders and himself. Upon reaching his
room he armed himself with a revolver
and came out on deck again.
In the meantime one of the crew had
told the mate that the Japanese was
armed and meant mischief. The chief
officer at once went forward and as soon
as Koch attempted to draw his gun the
mate knocked him down. He then called
the watch and the Japanese was placed
in irons.
In his report of the voyage. Captain
Carver says:

The Sutton carries many signs of her
hard usage. The 'railing Is gone, the hull
bears a battered appearance and the ship
has a slight list lo starboard. During her
encounter with the Horn weather the
cargo shifted, but after several hours'
hard work the crew got the vessel on an

Sutton had an experience during the
month of October that nobody aboard

WORK OF A SECOND
"JACK THE RIPPER"
Bobbery Was Not the Motive for
the Murder of Zachel
Ferguson.
TORONTO. Jan. 7.— lnvestigation In
connection with the murder of Miss Ra
chel Ferguson last Friday night discloses
the fact that the motive was not robbery
and that the crime was in all probability
the work of a man of the same character
as "Jack the Ripper."
Within an hour before the murder two
other young girls were chased and a
third knocked down by the same man in
the same vicinity. The post mortem ex
amination discloses the fact that the skull
of the victim was terribly smashed and
that she had apparently been struck down
while passing the jail gate and dragged
to the spot inside the wall where she was
found. The murderer is still at liberty.

CONVICTS AND LUNATICS.
Rev. James A. B. Wilson on "The
Lessons of the Century."
Under the caption of "The Lessons of
the Century," the Rev. Dr. James A. B.
Wilson discoursed on the present and past
conditions of lunatics and convicts, in his
lecture at last night's service. "Ad far
back as IS4S." he said, "In the State of
Connecticut, It was the custom and du
t'es of the keepers of convicts to chain
their wards to iron bars during the night
time. This was done not as a precaution
of safety, but rather as one of punish
ment and degradation, and as It was in
Connecticut, so was it in other New Eng
land States, not to mention the countries
cf I'urope, -\vheit criminals were looked
upon and treated as so many wild beasts.
Flogging, branding and other barbarous
punishments were, invariably inflicted
upon persons convicted of crime, tho'isrh
the effences might be no more than mis
demeanors. Insane persons were looked
upon as being possessed of evil demons
and to extract the demons from the in
dividuals was considered the duty of the
persons having charge of those unfortun
ate ones.
"Theso conditions have changed witnln
the last fifty years, and to-day peiHt.ns
convicted of crime? against the co.nmuni
ty are bolng treats..! with hurr.an.j con
sideration, always with the view c* cor
recting the Individual and making him a
better man than he was before he fell
from grace. Inducements are being heM
out to the convict to better his condition
after he haa paid the penalty for his mis
deeds. The laws as now framed offer to
the man every chance to become good,
whereas In former times there were no
such inducements offered. The treatment
of the insane has also been changed for
the better, and the disease of the brain
is no longer looked upon as a crime, but
rather as a misfortune over which the In
dividual has no control, and one he should
not be punished for. :¦• '.
"This wonderful change has been
brought about by the enlightenment of
the age anu through the instrumentallty
of Christian influence, together with the
almighty aid of the public press. To the
press, perhaps, more is due than to any
other influence, the bringing about of this
great information In the treatment of the
criminal classes and the lunatics. The
public press draws public opinion to
abuses and no power can withstand Its
Influence when rightly directed."
exception of "Hamlet." Is without rival.
"Othello" was popular in Shakesperean
times, when Burbage played the Moor.
And, except in the puritan and Crom
wellian epoch, when all plays were for
bidden, it has been popular ever since.
From the time of the Restoration (13G0)
down to the very present there has never
been a year in which "Othello" has not
held its place on the boards as one of the
best "drawing" plays in the theatrical
repertoire.
And in one respect "Othello" has out
done "Hamlet" in its hold 'on popular fa
vor. "Othello" has never been "adapted."
It has always been presented, with the ex
ception of some shortening, practically as
Shakespeare wrote It. This cannot be said
of "Hamlet." Even Garrick, Shakes
perean lover as he was, altered Shakes
peare's "Hamlet" to suit his fancy. And
other adapters and improvers of "Hamlet "
there have been of lesser fame. But no
playwright, great or small, has ever pre
sumed to lay desecrating hands on
"Othello."
Fine as "Othello" Is as an acting play.
Its quality as a play for reading only i 3
equally fine. No other play that Shaken
peare has written holds the attention cf
the reader from beginning to end with
such enthrallment of mind and sense. Its
spell is continuous and complete.
The acting editions of "Othello" do not
present the play in it 3 entirety. Theatri
cal representations In Shakespeare's day
were much longer than those of our day.
None of the time of the spectators was
taken up with scene shifting, orchestral
performances, etc. A play as Shakes
peare wrote it has. therefore, to be con
siderably condensed to make it fit the con
ditions of a modern representation.
Notwithstanding that this is so, "Othel
lo" as it was originally written is so logi
cal and complete in its dramatic con
struction that scarcely a line can be
struck out without weakening it. Hence
those who know "Othello" only from see
ing, it played do not know it completely.
No person should go to see "Othello"
upon the stage without first reading and
studying the play in printed form.
"Othello" has the distinction among
plays of having two parts of almost first
clars importance for male actors, and one
part of almost first-class importance ! for
a female actor, while several of its minor
parts call for acting of more than an or
dinary character. It follows then that
the history of "Othello" as an acting play
would be a history of the entire English
stage. This consideration will show how
imperfect a treatment of its history is
possible here.
A point worthy of remembrance is that
It was in "Othello." in the part of Desde
mona, that the first woman impersonator
of a Shakespearen heroine, the first Eng
lish woman to act any part of any sort,
ever appeared. This was December 8.
1660. So extraordinary was the Innovation
that It was thought necessary to apolo
gize for it In the prologue. A part of this
prologue ran as follows:
"In this reforming age
We have Intents to civilize the staxa.
Our women are defective, and so siz'd
You'd think they were some of the guard £j s _
guis'd:
For to speak truth, men act, that are between
Forty and fifty, wenches of fifteen:
¦With bone so large, and nerve so uncompliant.
When you call 'Desdemona.' enter 'Giant.* "
This, It must be remembered, was in
the first few months of the Restoration
period. In the days of Shakespeare and
afterward until puritan ideas became so
dominant that all playing was prohlb
led, the parts of women In plays had
been taken by young boys, duly appren
ticed and trained. It was from the ranks
of these boy players that the players of
men's parts were generally recruited.
Theatrical playing was then a respecta
ble and lucrative profession. The puritan
regime changed all this. When the Res
toration again allowed playing to be
done, the apprenticeship system was no
longer in vogue. As a consequence, fe
male parts were soon generally assumed
by women.
All the great players in tragedy known
to the history of the stage have taken
part in "Othello," either as Othello or
as lago, and in some vises as both.
These great players in "Oniello" form a
regular succession of "kings of the
drama," Beginning with Shakespeare's
Burbage, the succession, or "dynasty,"
may be set down as follows: Burbage.
Betterton (who in 1709 played Othello for
the last time at the age of 74). Barton
Booth. Quin. Macklln (who, however,
played only Iago). Garrlck. Barry (some
times Garrick played lago to Barry's
Othello), Thomas Sheridan (the father of
Sheridan the dramatist), John Hender
son, John Kemble. George Frederick
Cooke (who. like Macklin, also played
only Iago), Edmund Kean, Junius Brutus
Booth (who played lago to Kean's Othel
lo), Edwin Forrest (who also played lago
to Kean's Othello). Macready. Samuel
Phelps, Edwin Booth and Henry Irving.
Booth and Irvlns at one time played
Othello and lago together alternately.
Of distinguished foreigners who have
played Othello, the more noted are the
Frenchman, Charles Fechter (with
whom, however, the part was much In
ferior to his Hamlet.) and the great Ital
ian Othello, Tommaso SalvinU
Interesting notes could be written on
the parts taken in the play of "Othello"
by all these players; but on the princi
ple that something about one thing Is a
great deal better than nothing much
about many things, let us confine our at
tention to that greatest of all Othellos.
that greatest. Indeed, of all Shakespeare
an actors, Edmund Kean.

form of acting was so transcendent. It
must not be understood that It was

>lrs. Dennison Is about ia years of age.
John Ambrose was removed from the
Salvation Army barracks on the corner

Intoxicated condition by Officer T. Con
way and taken to the Harbor Hospital
for treatment. Ambrose got drunk on
Chinese gin and the Salvation Army

His scalp was cut and his right eyebrow

Joseph Clark and A. Anderson were
both treated at the Harbor Hospital for
dog bites yesterday. Both men were fool-

the dog with a piece of meat until It made
a snap and nearly took the palm of his

with his animal at 213 Steuart street

Shibboleth 13 "A Life
for a Life." #
The suspected murderer of Wong Yuen
has been arrested and last night the po
lice spent their time in an effort to ap
prehend his accomplices in the crime. The
man was taken by Sergeant of Police An
derson and Officers Foule, Carr and Ahem
in a house on Washington street. His
name is Ah Mun. He was taken to the
California-street police station and was
later placed in the tanks, pending an in
vestigation. It is probable that to-day he
will be charged with murder.
Yesterday Police Officer Foule received
information that the Chinaman who shot
the inoffensive carpenter to death at 2S&
Waverly place on Saturday night was still
In town and occupied a room in a build
ing on Washington street. That the offi
cer might not be misled, the Informer
furnished him with a diagram of the
building and gave the exact location of
the murderer's room. Foule was also
warned that the man was preparing to
leave town and might depart from the
building at any time.
Sergeant of Police Anderson was com
municated with, and in company with Po
licemen Foule, Smith and Ahem visited
the place. They climbed a labyrinth of
Btairs and succeeded in finding the room
which was indlcatea in the diagram. At
first admittance was refused them, but
the door was finally opened and the oc
cupant of the room placed under arrest.
It was found that the fellow had his
blankets all packed and was ready to
escape. He answers the description of the
man who did the shooting, and Sergeant
Anderson stated last night that there
is scarcely any doubt that he Is the man.
His name was placed on the small book
at the California-street station. He has
been in town about three days, and came
here, it is believed, as a hired murderer.
There were three men implicated in the
crime, and last evening was spent by the
police under special instructions in search
ing for the imprisoned man's companions.
Until a late hour last night no further ar
rests had been made.
Chief of Police Tobin. accompanied by
Acting Chief of Police Wittman, visited
the scene of Saturday night's crime yes
terday evening and made a thorough in
vestigation. Before departing they'de
cided that more vigorous methods must
be employed to suppress crime in the Chi
nese quarter.
More trouble Is hourly expected by the
police. Matters have come to such a con
dition that further bloodshed Is almost
unavoidable.
PROCLAMATION ISSUED.
Chinese Consul General Speaks
to His Countrymen on
*Peace.
Yesterday the Chinese Consul General
for the port of San Francisco Issued a
proclamation calling for peace among the
Chinese of this city. He urges his people
to remain quiet and threatens them with
serious interference from the Chinese Six
Companies and the Merchants' Associa
tion if they fail to do so.
The document was posted in front of the
consular residence on Stockton street, and
was read by thousands of Chinese last
night. It is as follows:
I implore my people to keep th© p«&ce. la
a country so far from our native land, a col
ony such as exists In San Francisco should ba
In a condition of peace. We should be as one
brother to another. There should be no more
quarreling, aa It la shameful in the eye« of
other nations.
Only two companies are engaged in the pres
ent war and this is not their first quarrel.
These men must change their ways and not
fight like wild beasts in the Jungle. If this
trouble is not settled without further blood I
will invoke the aid of the Six Companies and
the Merchants' Association and bring the of
fenders to American Justice.
BIGGEST "TRAMP" THAT HAS EVER COME TO SAN FRANCISCO.
THE largest cargo that has ever coma to San Francisco In one bottom reached port on the British tramp steamer

The Algoa left Yokohama with 11.854 tons of cargo, but as 2240 tons were discharged at Honolulu she comes ! to Jth

NEW YORK. Jan. T.-Jallan E. Alllen.
! who previous to his mysterious disap
i pearance four months ago was one of
! the best known advertising agents in New
| York, has informed his family and friends
; that he is on his way home. Very little
; is known of Allien's wanderings since he
! left New York . but from a short ac
; count telegraphed to his sisters and wife
i it seems he was laboring under a fit of
I temporary mental aberration when he
i disappeared, since which time he ha 3
¦ been groping about to discover his own
'¦ identity.
Mr. Allien was assisted to the recovery
; of memory in ati interesting manner. For
j many weeks alter he left New York ho
j was in complete darkness. "lie "believes
he wandered across the continent and was
¦ in San Francisco when the first glimmer
• of returnin- reason came to him. He now
• knows that he was in a large city near
' the ocean at that time. Little by little
j his brain has resumed its ordinary func
' lions.
Last week he reached Chicago, which
: city he recognized. Finally Allien was
' brought to a full realization of his posl
; tlon by seeing his own name in a Chi
! cago paper. His wife, after his disap
i pearance, had been compelled to take
: - steps to support herself and their grand-
J children.
Not wishing to remain in New York,
1 where she had many friends, who had
\ known her in more prosperous days, she
i went to Mount Vernon, where she started
: a high-class boarding-house. One of her
' boarders was Alfred Morrison, who had
| recently come into notoriety through kill
¦ ing his wife while dreaming that he was
i attacked by burglars.
A dispatch to a Chicago paper from this
¦ city mentioned the fact that Morrison is
now living in a boarding-house kept by
. Mrs. Julian E. Allien. This paragraph
' came under the observation of the wan
• derer, whose reason returned to him as
'< suddenly as it uad left the moment hla
gaze fell upon his own name. He then
'¦ remembered that he had old and very
; warm personal friends in Chicago, to
i whom he Immediately told his story. They
! supplied him with funds and he left for

LAND EJECTED
FROM OFFICE
Result of Sacramento
Mayoralty Contest.
Special IMspetch to The Call.
EACRAMENTO. Jan. B.— There was a
sensational scene at the City Hall a few
minute* after midnight to-night when
Mayor Cl?;ii took possession of his office.
He was accompanied by his attorneys and
two police officers and several citizens.
They found Mayor Land in possession of
the office and demande dthat he surrender
his chair. Land refused and he and his
attorneys were forcibly ejected from the
office.
On Tuesday there will corae up In the
Superior Court a suit brought by William
11. Bradley, a citizen, against Mayor-e'.ect
Clark to prevent his taking office, on the
ground that he has violated the purity of
election laws in incurring expenses of elec
tion not entered on his official statement.
Mayer Land claimed yesterday that if his
£ttorr.eys so advised him he would remain
*.zi the office of Mayor until the case
epalnst Clark was determined.
Apparently he received such advice to
(i:y, for he repaired to his office in the
City Hail in company with C. H. Dunn,
one of his attorneys, and there held the
fort until the midnight hour. A few
minutes after 12 o'clock Mayor-elect
Clark arrived In company with Police
Officers Michael Fisher ar.d George Nag
he!. Attorney Hir_n Johnson, School Di
rector Kay ar.d John E. Sullivan, who is
to receive Mayor Clark's appointment as
Chief of Police.
Mr. Johnson informed Mayor Land that
he should vacate the office at once; this
he refused to do. and Mayor Clark direct
ed Officers Naghel and Fisher to remove
the Mayor an- his attorney from the of
fice. The officer? placed hands on Mayor
Land and escorted him into the corridors,
where they left him. They then removed
Attorney Dunn in a similar manner.
Mayor Land protested that it was his
right to retain the office until the deter
mination of the case In court, but hi? pro
fits wpre of no avail. Mayor Clark de
tailed Officers Naghel and Fisher to keep
possession of the office until they were
reported off in the morning.
At the police station Bhortlv before 12
o'clock Mayor Land directed Sergeant
Plunkett. who is in charge of the station
at night, to take no orders except from
himself. The sergeant at almost the same
time received word from Mayor Clark that
he had detailed Officers Naghel and Fisher
for special duty.
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1900.
TWO CHILD-VICTIMS
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Services of a Phgsiclan Refused in a
Pennsglvania Home Where Diph
theria Was Raging,
PITTSBURG. Jan. 7.-Diphtherfa and Christian Science have had a bitter
battle in a New Brighton family fcr the past two weeks. Diphtheria has won
so far. Two children are dead, while a third child and the father are danger
ously ill with the same disease.
Frank Martzolf and his wife hay* been believer* in Christian Science for
three yrars. ar.d so confirmed In the doctrine are they that they have seen
their two little ores die of malignant diphtheria, and were willing to see their
remaining child suffer rather than tak* her case "out of the hands of the
Lord." Not until forced to do so by the health authorities would the parents
permit a physician in the house, and even then the father refused to give the
medicine prescribed, and the health officials were compelled to take the fam
ily Jn charge. When the first child, Nancy, died Martzolf called on an under
taker to bury her. When asked for a certificate of death he said there was
none, ar.d Coroner Taylor began an investigation. He found the second child,
Roy. in the last stages of the disease, and ordered Dr. Boyd to treat him.
The father refused to give the boy the medicine, and he died a few hours
later. The health officials are now in charge and may be able to cave tho
ttilrd child and the father, both of whom are down with the disease.
Beaver Valley people are very much wrought up over the matter, and It Is
likely that Christian Science with Its prominent leaders in New Brighton, will
be Investigated by th© courts. ' • X
