make this one OF the best acting plays
which grace the legitimate and intel
lectual stage, not only Of our times but
will for all time. Shakespeare ia
imperishable.
Shylock has always been a favorite
part with MIR. Keene, and indeed it
may be said that it is left to him. 1t
is full of strong and peculiar dramatic
character, and as a character actor
Keene admittedly has no rival on the
American stage. His school, and it is
3 follower of none other, is the
establishment OF realism which
touches the springs of human nature
80 closely, that the character in his
hands, whatever it may be, stands
before us without other punishment
than the life-like truth. Keene's Jew
is manly representation OF his
ancient race, glorying in the sacredness
of his belief, patient under undeserved
contumely, and vengefnl when his
opportunity serves. as would be
natural to all. In all its phases, and
it has many, Keene's Shylock is a
grand embodiment of "the Jew that
Shakespeare drew" and the scene in
which he learns that his daughter
Jessica has stolen off with a hated
Christian is perhaps as powerful as
anything which this or a past
generation has witnessed.
Mr.. Keene as the leading star OF the
American stage is thus kindly spoken
of by San Francisco paper:
when Keene passes to that bourne from
which no traveller returns he viii leave no sue
cessor on the American stage to properly inter
pref the work of the master. The curtain will
be rung down on the tragedy OF shakespeare
and we must await the coming Of one not yet
heralded."
This is tribute, pathetically true,
and paid by one Of the most critical of
the press OF California, who years ago
WIS not one of the tragedian's ardent
admirers. Times change and men
change with them, and Keene, from
the powerful but somewhat unfinished
theopian he was years ago when
member of the good old California
stock, has developed into the finished
star we see him to-day. The art
nantes Of his old friends, Booth and
Barrett and McCullagh, have fallen
gracefully on him and they fit him
equally we'll and as worthily. .~
The night of Keene's appearance at

hall, THAT message shows who ought
to be sent to the Senate
The Senate, yesterday, resolved
itself into a committee OF the whole to
consider Senator Browns (of Kitsap)
bill for appropriation of $4,000 for
Legislative expenses. This evidence
of an economical spirit certainly re-
fleets the will of the people and the
extravagant expenditure of 1000 per
day of last session will not be re-
peated.
The committees report ON clerks

two years ago had Is committee clerks.
We recommend that his number be
reduced one-half and do hereby recon-
mend the following persons for clerk

child, not only for the loss of it's sweet
companionship, but for the bright hopes
we have builded for it's future success
and achievements SO rudely torn down
and shattered; in the prime of life we
mourn for life's work that yet remains,
apparently unfinished; but for the aged
one, whose life has rounded out the al
lotted span, few years more or less
could bring but little satisfaction, and
that SO much alleged with pain and suf-
fering as nearly to destroy its value.
There is no death, what seems so is transit
ton
This day of mortal breath
Is but the suburb to the land Elysian.
Whose portals we call DEATH"
And yet however fully we may agree
with the poets thought, we cannot help
but feel thrill of anguish and an agony
of grief, when those we love grow pale,
and droop and fade away, and die. At
such time the common words of human
speech fall on the ear as cold and mean
ingless as empty sound. And while we
wish to mitigate the anguish and allay
the grief Of those who mourn, we sadly
feel that our attempts are vain, that
time alone can heal the wounds no words
of ours have power to cure. And SO to-
day, when sympathizing friends may
seek to aid you to assuage your sorrows,
it seems to me the best and fittest thing
that can say, is but to call attention to
the fact, that she whose life on earth is
ended now, still lives and loves you, with
love as pure and deep as angels feel.
A life like hers, SO active, good and
true. furnishes an inspiration to purer,
nobler thoughts and deeds. And to the
memory of those she left behind, they
will come in after years like benedic-
ton. bringing peace and Joy. The in
fuence of good, true mothers love is
greater, deeper, purer far than any other
power this world can give; and rich in
deed are they who draw their inspiration
and their life from such source.
To the bereaved and mourning friends
and relatives, we have but little worldly
consolation to offer. but we do tender
them our heartfelt sympathies, and join
our tears with theirs upon this SORROW
full occasion. We cannot come here
without subdued hearts and softened af-
fections. Each successive death note
snaps some fibre that binds US to this
Il
pure, grand and noble life like hers. but
Yields another link that chains us to the
life immortal.

Bro. T. Francis Rayon is having a
real midsummer revival at indianapolis.
The outlook is very encouraging. The
congregations are growing larger. Sew
enteen new members have been received
during the last two weeks. Rev. b. f.
Foster renders assistance in receiving
new members.
Rev. H. N. Brown was called upon
to address the Fayette County Sunday
school Institute, August 4th. The meet
ing was held in the grove. There was a
large attendance, and Bro. Brown we'll
represented the Universalist idea. In
the evening he went to the Ireland
church, where he had a crowded house
and received six new members, all young
people.
There were delegates at the White
Water Association from Dublin, Devon
Ireland, Union, Pleasant Hill. Pleasant
Grove, and Richmond. There were six
ministers present participating in the
exercises. The Bylaws we're so changed
that the future sessions of the Associa-
tions will be mass meetings instead of
delegate bodies. Several hundred were
present on Sunday.

PENNSYLVANIA. = Rev. Howard
Mac Queary.-The Erie Daily Times of
Wednesday. August 7. contains the fol-
lowing editorial in regard to the contem-
plated resignation of the Rev. Howard
Mac Queary of the Universalist Church.
The writer, it will be noticed, is explicit
in stating the reasons for the possible
retirement of the pastor. 1t is due alone
to the straitened financial condition
of the church. We understand that no
other reason exists for the change. We
trust that with improved times this fall.
arrangements can be made to bridge
over the difficulty and retain Mr.. Mac
Queary in that important city. We now
give the Times editorial:
at will be unfortunate for the city of
Erie as we'll as for the members of the
Universalist Church, if Rev. Howard
Mac Queary cannot be induced to re-
main in this city. He is not only one Of
our ablest clerical thinkers, but he is
also one of the best citizens the city
has ever contained. He thinks clearly,
breaches and lives as he thinks, and by
so doing sets an example that never fails
in benefting city. The Universalists
in this city are few in number, and as
rule are not blessed with an overabun-
dance of this worlds goods. They have
been making an earnest effort to get
fund sufficient to build a new church,
and interest enough givers to the cause
to warrant them in retaining the serv-
ices of the talented gentleman, but have
not as yet succeeded. AS a result Mr..
Mac Queary has about decided that he
will retire from the work in this city
some time during the fall, unless differ
emit arrangements can be made.
"Since coming here the amount sub
scribed for religious work by the church
has more than doubled, and it is even
now possible that inducements may be
made of such a nature as will warrant
the talented gentleman remaining in
this city. If he finally decides to leave'
he will go with the best wishes of very
large number of our people who appre-
ciate his worth as a religious thinker
worker and enterprising citizen"

that sages have seen in the face OF soil

voices in song about, we're generally

DIR. Max Nordau answers his critics
in the current Century. His book on
Degeneration" has called out large
amount OF abusive criticism, and while
he pays his respects to such writer's. he
gives serious answers to several obiec-
tons which have been urged against
his theories. DIR. Nordau thinks that
the present epidemic of hysteria and
degeneration is due to the over exertion
of the last sixty years; and that, while it
is not the first phenomenon of its kind,
it is more dangerous than the previous
ones because it has gained far greater
