THE FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.
The Regular Session held on
Friday Evening at DR.. and
Mrs. Whitehill's.

Paper of the Evening on the ssMerchant
of yenicev-Read by Judge johnson
Discussion by Profs. Wiley and ARM
str0ng-Dr. Sanders and DIR. Leech
also Speak ON the Paper-Some Criti-
cism of the Author and the Defence
Offered-A Delightful Session.
The Fortnightly Club was enter
tanned by Professor and Mrs. White
hill last evening. The principal pa
per was read by Judge johnson, the
subject being 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" The paper was very in
teresting and highly entertaining,
especially when the Judge criticised
the ''court scene as being very in
accurate from a legal standpoint
He read many passages from the
play, which added much to the pleas
ure of the audience for Judge John
son is an exceptionally fine reader.
Prof. Wiley opened the discussion
and said that he thought Shakes
peares plays were all lacking in
certain essentials of dramatic art,
viz: that spectators would find
trouble in following them if they
were put on the stage as they were
written, and that the hostlers and
the maids speak in poetry, just as do
philosophers and statesmen
Professor Armstrong was the next
speaker. He disagreed with Prof
Wiley, saying that the servants and
other lower classes were always made
to speak in prose, unless in a very
exalted state of mind. He then pro-
ceeded to give history of the sourc-
es of the play, and ended by reading
a number of beautiful quotations
from it.
DR. Sanders attacked the legal
question, opened by Judge johnson,
and showed that, taking into consid-
Grafton the fact that the civil law,
and not our common law prevailed
in Venice at that time and that the
court scene depicted by ShaA espeare
might have been an actual occur
renee.
Dr. Leech spoke of the wrong done
to the Jewish race as whole, though
he did not defend Shylock.
Shylock was abused by some, and
pitied by others; the general opinion
however, being that Shakespeare has
depicted a representative Jew.
The club will meet at the School
of Music on March 3, the subject
being "The Legend of the Flying
Dutchman." Miss Matte Brock
will present the paper, and Miss
McMurphy will illustrate with mu-
sic.

HON. A. w. CAMPBELL DEAD.
One OF the Founders of West Virginia
Dies in MissOuri-He was Man
of Great Force.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 49,
News was received here of the sudden
death, from paralysis, at Webster
Groves, Mo-, of Hon. A. W. Campbell
of this city, one Of the founders of
West Virginia and one of the propri-
etors of the Wheeling Intelligencer
and until a few years ago its editor.
Mr. Campbell, in connection with
Ex-Governor Pierpont, now resident
Of Pittsburg, and others of promin-
ence, advocated the division OF the
State before the war, and the war
coming on. the counties west of the
mountains, now constituting West
Virginia, were organized into provis-
ional government, and in 1863 were
admitted as State. Wheeling was
the scene of the movement and of
many excitements, and Mr.. Camp
bells paper was the only paper in
West Virginia supporting the cause
and President Lincoln.
1t was declared by the Government
of Virginia to be treason to advocate
division. Mr.. Campbell champion
ed the cause of division, and opposed
the course of Virginia, being a
strong supporter of the movement.
Ex-Governor Pierpont, who was made
Provisional Governor of what was
known as the Restored Government
of Virginia." is authority for the
statement that it was "a dispatch
penned by Mr.. Campbell to President
Lincoln that determined him to sign
the bill admitting West Virginia to
the Union against the wishes of some
members of his Cabinet.
Since his retirement from active
newspaper life, Mr.. Campbell has liv-.
ed in quiet, and never would accept
a public Office, though frequently
offered the United States Senatorship.

ELKINS.

Now, Elkins is a charming town in
the henri Of the West Virginia noun
tains, but its chief reason for exis-
tence is the fact that it is the home
of Senator Elkins, ex-senator Davis
and Richard G. Kerens, of Missouri,
all OF whom have palatial residences
there. 1t seems, however, that a
weather station has been established
there, and every morning Senator Ell
kins has the pleasure of glancing at
the map and seeing just how the
weather is at his mountain home,
says the Washington POST" Yes
terday at 8 O'Clock in the morning,
Elkins was being visited by snow
storm, and the thermometer vas de-
grees below zero.
Yesterday Senator Hawley, of Con-
necticut, came along and looked over
the map to see the weather in his
state. Curiously enough there was
not a station named between New
York and Boston. The entire state
of Connecticut was blank. Itmight
have been raining pitchforks in Hart
ford, New Haven, or New London
and nobody would have been any the
wiser
Senator Hawley looked real hard at
the word Elkins and sighed.

FRUIT GAMERS COMBINE.
Trust In California to Take In Near
" All Concerns.

San Francisco, June IA combina-
ton of fruit Gamers has just been COM
pleted in this city, and all the neces-
Sary papers, carrying options on ABOUT
two-thirds of the cannerieS OF TINS
state, have been signed. The deal has
been under way for several months, and
nearly all the dealers have signed an
ironclad agreement to bind them for a
certain period, presumably until such
time as enough money can be raised to
buy their business outright. Under the
agreement, prices to be paid for raw
fruit and the price of the prepared
article have been set.
1t is reported that the organizers will
centralize the product; that is, they
will close up about one-half of the can
neries under their control. 1t is as
serted that the trust contemDlates an
advance in prices of approximately 90
per cent.
The combine controls twenty-siX fruit
canneries. or an annual output esti-
mated at 90, $40 COO cans. The fruit nee
essary for this quantity of goods is es-
timated at upwards of 10a 600, 900
pounds, or 252. $50 tons The capital, il
is said, will be S2,50O,000, and it is re-
ported that after a few final details are
fixed up, the money already being de-
posted preparatory to paying over the
same, the Gamers selling out will re-
ceive two-thirds cash and one third in
stock.
The combine, however, Will have some
decided opposition TO compete with.
There are at least half a dozen large
canneries who have not been taken into
the combine, and these canneries con-
troll an output of 1,250,00 cases per
year.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
General Shifting of Wheat Trading
In Chicago.

Chicago, June 1.-THE main feature OF
wheat trading was the general Shlftlng OF
speculation TO the September option The
opening was steady, September starting
a shade lower at 7rsd7I14, and selling at
once at 772sc. Cables Were firm and high
er. Heavy rains were reported in the
Black sea country. but ii was also stated
that the grain in that section would not be
worth cutting. On this statement there
was moderate support at the opening, but
soon after the market commenced 10 de-
cline on selling by local longs. A decline
TO 762. in September enSued, when lin
tied covering movement steadied the mar
ket for a time. September recovering TO
76k. The weather was reported much 100
wet in the spring wheat country, ana TINS
helped to sustain prices for time, Sep
TENDER sagging to 76l2. The close was
weak at 1850.
Corn was rather slow, but firm. Large
buying of July by a leading commission
house was the feature. causing covering
by shorts and keeping prices shSnly
above yesterdays during most OF the SeS-
sion. The market weakened somewhat IN
the afternoon, with September closing
shade higher.
Good cash demand and the small coun-
try movement made a firm market ior
oats Weekly crop bulletins generally
showed anxiety on account of rust ana
rankness. September closed sc higher:
The market for provisions was irregular.
Some strength was shown at the start on
higher hogs and on covering by shorts
Later the market turned weak on selling
by packers, and all the early advance was
lost At the close September pork was
2I5c lower, lard unchanged, ribs 212c
lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
