The Merchant OF Venice" is fast taking
The shape that IL will appear In before the
public next Friday evening. and gives
promise Of being . fine performance. The
costume requirements have caused Q lively
demand for information Is 10 what people
wore in shskespeare's time, and parents
OF pupils have taken 9 lively interest in
dressing the players with historical socur-
scy. The stage settings do not present so
much difficulty as many modern plays,
and il il were not for the name OF Shake
speare the play would be much simpler
than might be supposed.
The Merchant OF Venice" lie Q play
which has been popular for three hundred
years, and still has 9 strong hold on that
part Of the theatre-going public which
cares for Shakespeare. Sir Henry Irving.
the greatest Of English actors, plays Shy
lock as his star part, and 10 was in this
character that he was seen in San Fran
cisco come years ago. In the great re-
vivsl OF Shakespeare which has recently
occurred, the Merchant Of Venice" has
been q ~fsvorite among managers as q draw
ing card. The story Of the play opens
with the request Of Bssssnio, 9 young
Venetian, for o loan from his friend, An
tonic, the merchant OF Venice. Antonio
borrows the money from Shylock, giving
as security q bond calling for 9 pound Of
bis flesh nearest his heart" in case Of
default. The bond is not paid and Shylock
claims his forfeiture in the Ducal Court OF
Venice. Meanwhile Bassanio has won the
hand OF Portia, O rich heiress, who was to
marry the man who made the correct
selection from three caskets. As soon as
this lady learns of the danger which
Antonio has incurred through his be-
friending her husband. she DISCUSSES her
self ~ . doctor or professor Of law, such
persons being sent from the great univer-
stiles at that time to decide questions OF
law in the courts, and hurries 10 the Court
OF Venice, where the case Of Shylock vs.
Antonio is ON trial. In this disguise
Portia Is successful In securing the scquit-
tai Of Antonio on certain fine points OF the
wording OF the bond; and she finally
brings retribution to Shylock, who not
only loses the money advanced by him but
a large part Of his property ss g penalty
for attempting an illegal act. Portis and
Nerissa, her maid, secure their husbands
rings as a reward for their services, and
upon their arrival at Portals home call
them to account for parting with them.
Portis, as lawyer, certainly shows much
skill, and her pleading has been the ad-
mirstion Of the legal profession and the
ladies ever since. Miss Terry, who acts
the part in Irving's company, has
come TO be Identified with it, and the
costume used by her In the trial scene
will be copied by the pupils. In other
respects the costumes. and where possible.
the stage setting, will be taken from those
used by the famous DAILY Stock Company
Of New York.

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SWERED.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bette
SO that while our profits may be small
er on single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quick
ly pass judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the. large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are Ger,
tain to return to the one remedy that
they know to be reliable, and for coughs
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. EoI

stitutc providing that the Senate meet

Senator Smith offered a resolution that
the Secretary Of State be requested to
furnish laws and Code covering the
period from 1885 to 1897, and put in
some accessible place in the Senate
Chamber. The resolution prevailed.

LITTLE cry
MUCH WOOL
The House is PIunging Into
Business.
THE TAKERS CH0KED OFF
MANY IMPORTANT BILLS INTRO
DUCED.
TWO PROVIDING FOR i'm CROW CARS
Mr.. Julian Proposes a Constitutional Amend
ment Providing for More Equita-
BILE Division Of School
Funds.

There were two features of yester
days session of the House:
Introduction of important bills,
And reading of Governors message.
Many are the times | have thought
what an immense amount of good q
Legislature might accomplish by meet
ing and at once passing few brief bills
so plain, so popular and so generally de-
| manded that they admit Of no debate.
One of these should provide for sep
arate ears for the races.
Another should equalize the public
school fund according to the taxes paid
Another should provide for a reduction
in certain official salaries and fees.
Still another should prevent the NUS
ance of corporations running from the
State to the Federal courts.
And bills providing for these four
things We're Yesterday introduced in the
House, and they will probably be pass
cd.
With good working majority of
practical men to transact such business
the Legislature ought to be able to go
ahead ut once with the important legis-
lation of the session, and let the takers
talk themselves hoarse afterwards, if
they feel like it.
AS for the Governors message, it was
document sick at heart. In its every
line His Excellency moaned over his
own predicament and sweat over his
party's sinking fortunes.
1t is to be questioned--is ii not Gov
ernor-if, after ALL the game is worth
the candle. If you were well and safe
~ out of politics. it is to be doubted
with what you now know, if you'd ever
return. Were you in the woods and
away from the difficulties that to-day
hedge you about. would you not be con-
tent to live the safe balance of your
years in the settlement of privacy?
This is the conclusion to which | came
yesterday, as ! listened to the message:
Itussel's got enough, and his message
shows it. But there is no rest for the
wicked. He mnst keep up the lick. 1t
is too late to turn back or hunt safely
to one side.
That message yesterday almost made
me sorry for the Governor And yet
it is only a case of The bitter bitten Rus
sells own system has only played against
himself, and now he is reaping what he
has sowed. Those who live by the sword
must perish by the sword, and Russell,
who has ruled with such Il high hand
and Inundated SO many is now himself
humblcd.
The message was listened to by the
members more attentively than usual.
but it was an attention born of curiosity.
For every man of them knew he was
going ahead and do as he pleased, re-
gardless of what His Excellency might
or might not say.
