Meeting Of May LIST.


The Club met as usual, Friday After
trsnsacting the business on hand, proceeded
To the discussion of current events.
The members were requested to answer to
the roll call in future with quotation from
the act Of the play under consideration in.
stead of current events as has heretofore been
the custom. Miss Norris then read the fol-
lowing extracts from the chapter of ''The
Study Glass;" Introductory to the study OF
Shakespeare "Shakspeare's claim to distinc,
ton as dramatist rested not Oh the fact
that be improved or altered the drama as it
then existed, but that he was the father Of
whole class of dramatists who followed and
Initiated him with greater or less success,
according to their several abilities.
In Shakspeare's time the drama was the
most popular form of expression, and repre-.
sented literature, politics. manners, customs,
etc. Emerson says Shakespeare was full
man and liked to talk His plays are of
value to US chiefly as we regard them as an
expression of the mind and heart of the great
SCulue, WuOoC SupACuIO OCJCSc Voo WIZ PoA
trayal of life, and his characters are living
portraits, whose photographs we may see
now treading the worlds stage around u.s."
An interesting sketch of Venice followed,
composed and read by Misses Mary and
Daisy Waesche, from which we will not quote
as it is proposed to publish 1t IN full. Miss
Carrie Boblitz then gave an outline of the
2nd act of The Merchant of Venice" and
reading and discussion of the latter part of
the first, and portion of the second act was
next IN order of proceedings. Miss Norris
called attention to the first and last line Of
act LIST as furnishing the keynote to the
nature of the play, the fact that Antonio's
wealth being on the waters Many interest.
ing questions were suggested, some of the
most important being, whether or not Shy
lock was the author of the rumors of Anto.
pio's ships being lost; why Shylock finally
accepted Bassanio's invitation to supper.

Through the kindness OF Scott Nc
1Clelland, we have in our possession a
copy of the Ulster County Gazette, pub
lished at Kingstown on the 4th OF jan
uary, 1900, which contains the announ-
cement of the death of General George
Washington, who died Dec. 14th. 1893.
The two inside pages Of the Gazette have
pica-wide column rules turned upside
down and black border over of an
inch wide around the outside of the
pages. The paper also contains notice
of Congress convening on the 10th OF
December, 1893. The Gazette says:
"Mr. Speaker, attended by members
present proceeded to the Presidents
house to present him their address in
answer to his speech on the opening
of the present session; and having re-
turned the Presidents reply thereto
was read" In his reply to the speaker
and members Of Congress, President
John Adams said: "As long as we can
maintain with harmony and affection
<the honor of our country, consistently
with its peace, externally and informal
ly, while that is attainable, or in war,
when that becomes necessary asserts
its real independence and sovereignty,
and support of constitutional energies
and dignity Of its government-we may
be perfectly sure under the smiles Of
Divine Providence, that we shall effect
ually promote and extend our national
interests and happiness" In the Sem
ates acknowledgement of the Presidents
speech delivered to both Houses OF Con-
gress, OF which the above is an extract,
was the following: KNOWING as we do,
that the United States are fiercely
anxious for fair and liberal execution
OF the treaty OF amity, commerce and
navigation entered into with Great
Britain; we learn with regret, that pro
gress of adjustment has been interrupt
ed by difference of opinion among the
commissioners. We hope, however
that the justice, the moderation, ant
the obvious interest Of both parties viii
lead to satisfactory explanations, ant
that the business will then 60 forward
to an amicable close of all the differ
ences and demands between the tw'
countries. We are fully persuaded tina

will oheerfully enable you to realiz

1t would be hard to find any condition
of human ailment that winter visit to
Florida would fail to improve, while
those who enjoy good health cannot
realize, without experience, what true
enjoyment there is in life passed under
the golden skies of the Land OF
Flowers"
In order to give the public an appor-
tunity to visit Florida at very reason
able cost, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has arranged for series of
tours to Jacksonville. Since the sys-
TEN OF personally-conducted tours in
augurated by that company has been in
effect, none but words of commendation
have been received. Its unexcelled
train service, experienced Tourist
Agents and chaperons, and above all,
its moderate charges, leave nothing TO
be desired.
The tours to jacksonville, allowing
two weeks stay in Florida, will leave
New York and Philadelphia on January
2S, FEBRUARY 4, II, IS, and 25, and March
3, 1896. The rate, including transpor-
tation, meals en- rout, and Pullman

have requested us to explain, for the
information of certain persons who
have been criticising their action rela-
tive to the decree of the Court in the
appeal case of the Buffalo, Rochester

said action OF the Court is final and
that there is no appeal therefrom.
When this fact is known it removes the
