A shakspenrenn study.

The glamour and mystery that surround
the career of Shakespeare are a perennial
attraction for conjecture. It is probable
that as long as the English language is
written and read men will be trying to as
certain from Shakespeare's writings what
manner of man he was, his modes of
thought methods of work, etc. THE Gen
esis of Shakespeare's Art" by Edwin j.
Dunning. is a study on these lines of his
sonnets and poems. Who was the name
less youth to whom Shakespeare sonnets
were addressed? For what purpose We're
they written? Are they autobiographical,
or are they so many single ana clustered
literary gems sparkling In the crown of
fame which encircles the brow of the
world greatest, poet? These are questions
which have greatly exercised the minds of
Shakespearean scholars. The author of
this work believes he has found the right
answer to them, and no candid person can
read his book without becoming convinced
that his solution of the problem is ingeni-
Gus and adequate. He maintains and es-
says to demonstrate by critical analysis that
the youth of the SOnnets is a purely i'm
aginary character, standing in the same
relation to Shakespeare as Beatrice stood
to Dante-"the inspiration of his genius
and the soul of his poetic life; that the
sonnets and the group of poems OF which
they are the center were written to give a
portrait and history of this beautiful and
ideal youth, by whom and through whom
higher life that theS onnetsoare thus truly
autobiographical, but not in the ordinary
sense-being a record of the inward rather
than the outward experience of the poet.
The work will appeal strongly to every
student and lover of Shakespeare. Boston:

A dispatch from New York reports a
great revival in the diamond trade. One of
the charges against the new tariff law is
that it reduces the duty on diamonds. So
it does The Wilson-Gorman law increased
the duty to d point that almost stopped le-
Ultimate importations and grealy increased
smuggling. 1t is estimated that from 1893
to 1897 not less than $10,OOOO0O worth of dia-
monds were struggled into New York an
nually, while the importatons fell off from
$13,000000 q year to $2,500,0O0. The new law
makes a material reduction in the duty,
and the effect is expected to appear in an
increase Of legitimate trade and revenues
and a decrease of smuggling.

some suggestions for filling in the Jets of

methods of teaching it, joining practice
with theory. In this work he has aSslm-

Alice Barrett was well known and re-
spected in Waltham. She was young and
pretty, and had many friends among the
best families in the city. She belonged to
the Unitarian Church She had a kindly
heart and many stories are told of her
charitable deeds. She was graduated from
the High School in 1892, and soon after
wards entered the office of Goldman & Cod
man as stenographer.
In March, 1895, Alice Barrett received $1,000
from her fathers estate, which she placed
in the Waltham Savings Bank. On the
day of her death her bank account stood
as follows: Deposited April l. 1895, $1,000;
oct l. 1896, interest. S6l.20: Oct. 81, with
drawn, $500; April, 1897. interest S5.22; July

Miss Barrett had a love affair, but this
had nothing TO do with her death. She had
been engaged to a man named w. III. Foss
but the engagement was broken off some
time ago. Since that time she had contn-
ued to be friendly 20 her eX-hance. and at
the time OF her death there was no trouble
between them. Miss Barretts salary was s.

Appeal to Be Made to- Congress
for Repeal Of the Geary

Equal Rights League Of Native
and Americanized Chinese
Proposed.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Americanised
and native born Chinese will appeal to
congress for the right of suffrage and
ask that body to repeal the Geary anti.
Chinese law passed in 1854. A public
mass meeting will be held at Central
Music Hall next Saturday and promi.
nent Chinese from all over the United
States will address the meeting. They
will declare that wrongs have been in
ficted upon them since they have been
refused the rights Of citizenship and
will ask the aid of the people Of the
United States to help them in their
cause.
This, it is said, will be the first time
that the Chinese shall have openly de-
clared themselves. They have organ
lied the Chinese equal rights league of
America, with offices in this city.
Wong Chin Foo is president of the or.
g%anization.
In an interview he said: I'VE want
Illinois, the place that Lincoln, Grant
and Logan called their home, to do for
the Chinese what the North did for the
negroes. Why should we not have a
voice in municipal and national affairs
like other foreigners?
"There are 80, 900 Chinese in this
country who are deslrous of becoming
citizens.
"In 1882 an outrageous law was
passed by congress. By that law the
rights and liberties Of nearly 250, 600
lawful and industrious citizens were
swept away. We will now ask con-
gress to restore to us the sovereign
rights we once enjoyed, which are now
held by other races who come here.
Those who wish to become voters have
been living in this country from 10 to 40
years. Their financial and social inter.
ests are all here and they have learned
to love America better than they did
the old country. They have acquired
American ideas and habits, which have
rendered their residence in China
almost impossible. The situation has
now come to a stage where we must
ask for our rights"
Following the meeting at Central
Music Hall, meetings will be held, all
over the United States. The Chinese

Senator Thurston is making such an
ass Of himself in his campaign speeches
in Illinois that the republican papers
are getting ~dllgusted with him and de-
nlandiug he be sent home. IL a recent
speech lie said:
Every anarchist in the United States
voted for Bry 40. The silver cause will
die, but the leaders will remain, and
under the banners that they raise that
vast army will form. Under their ban
ners will rally every man who is danger
Gus to the government Of this free pub
)ic. II any man raises the red cry OF
anarchy, l say shoot him on the spot"
To which the Chicago Record, repub-
iican, very p%ertlnently replies:
This talk OF anarchy and anarchists is
being overdone. Chicago, is not in any
fear Of the bomb-throwinR revolutionists.
Apparently Thurston's idea of an
anarchist is a man who voted for Bryan
and who holds economic and social ideas
differing from his own. He has the Fight
to crlticise such persons for the views
they hoh, but when he chooses to dub
his opponents anarchists without any
very strict regard to language and then
wants them shot OF the spot because
they are anarchists he is going too far
The Chicago public, at least, is begin
ming to get tired of that sort of talk. II
Thurston stands as a typical republican
