ENGLISH LITERATURE.
The Address of Miss Catherine Merrill Be-
fore the Plymouth Club Last Night

Plymouth Church held last night its seventh
and the last sociable of the season. The early
evening was spent in social singing. each one
present receiving little song book, full of the
good old songs and ballads of long ago. There
were also cornet and vocal solos, and humorous
readings.
The principal event of the evening, however,
ard which did much to call out the assembly of
over three hundred people, was a familiar talk
on the early English race and its literature by
Miss Catherines Merrill, which, for simple beauty,
directness and earnestness, was inimitable.
Commencing with the Aryan race and
describing in few words their print
tive home in the plateau of Iran,
the story passed ON to the Anglo-Saxon race its
composition and its literature. The thirteenth
century, with it's cathedral building, the four
teenth, when English was the vulgar tongue,
and courtiers and scholars discussed science and
religion in Latin and social and small talk in
French, were wildly pictured brief account
was given of the wonderful travels
of Sir John Vaudeville, first written
in French, but popular as to be
translated into English for the common people;
then ON TO Wycliffe with his English Bible and
tracts, William Langford-contemporary of
Chaucer poet of the poor as the father of
English poetry was of the rich Of the Canter-
bury tales which are the most perfect picture of
fourteenth century life, showing how people ate,
drank dressed, looked and acted in all
walks of life the audience was told.
Then, tal1ingup her notes and leaving her mem
cries of Chaucer Miss Merrill closed with abref
and appreciative essay on Shakespeare, not as a
philosophical writer and poet but as an English
man crystallizing and making immortal for all
time the English literature and language. Many
of Miss Merrills university students were at
tracted to hear the old class stories and times
revived

a Railroad Tax on the Duplicate.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
VINCENNEs, June 13-The progress of the
Vincennes & Ohio River railroad project came
to an unexpected ending to-day, by the peremp
tory refusal of the county commissioners to
place the tax voted in Vincennes and Harrison

and amounts to $4,000. The action of the
commissioners is surprise to everybody, as the
legality of the matter has been tested in the
Supreme Court. 1t is generally understood that
the commissioners refused to place the tax on the
duplicate because they were unfriendly and
opposed to the enterprise. tits most vexatious

the stylishly-dressed and goodIooking young
man, about 25 years of age, who was taken
into custody by Detective Granger at the

There were many r1lmors as
to the cause of the arrest, but Detective
Granger sasd "Some time ago Harvey got
possession of bundle of love-letters bolonr.
ing to Miss Larkins, of Rockford. The
contents were not compromising, bnt he
thought he conld extort money from the
lady. He wrote to her and promised to re.
turn them for a certain sum. The Young
lady, in the meantime, had got married to q
Mr.. Forrest, but she refused to buy the let
tiers, and he attempted to sell them to her
father for $780, but in this he was unsuccess-
full He attempted to extort money from
Mr.. Forrest on the same grounds Last week
he came to Chicago and being out of money
he sent word to Mr.. Larkins to make
another attempt to procure money by
blackmail But in directing the
letter he failed to affix S." and the
epiStle went to Mr.. Larkin, the chief re
