The rIerchant of Venice.

The great characters OF the play are,
of course, Shylock and Portia. There
is one point about Shylock 10 be par
tioularly noticed. There Ia O gran
deur in his character that to some ex-
tent redeems it from the condemnation
we would mete out to him because Of
his avarice and his cruel vindictive-
ness. He stands as the representative
of his race, and to vindicate his races
honor he is willing to forego his pre-
vailing vices, although these are most
pleasing to him, and take upon him
self other and worse ones. The over
mastering passion OF revenge which
be becomes possessed Of in the play
he takes on because OF his patriotic
pride in his own people. Another
point to be considered is that the Jew
really has suffered wrongs at the
hands of Antonio. Shakespeare's mir
ror never reflected nature more truth
fully than when he portrayed good
man like Antonio as being, despite
his good ness, but the creature of his
age. The Jews in Shakespeare's time
were the constant objects OF contu-
mely and reproach on the part of men
of otherwise generous natures, even
such as Antonio was. That such a
man as Antonio could revile and spit
upon fellow-b being simply because he
Was of another race, only makes all
the clearer the magnitude of the in
justice OF I'll g treatment ordinarily
given to the race. Shylock, there
fore, was not wholly ia fault. Not
withstanding his avarice and his cruel
vindictiveness, we nevertheless have
some compassion for him It is this
feeling OF sympathy which he inspires
that gives the play it's tragic pathos.

Bible Society's Annual Meeting.

| The annual meeting OF the Water
town auxiliary of the American Bible
society was held last Sunday evening
at 1850 O'Clock in the German Metho-
dist church. These annual gatherings
are possibly the most unique of any
held in the oity during the year, as no
less than seven of the local churches
with their pastors participate in the
same. The president of the local aux
iliary acted as leader for the evening.
English and German hymns were sung
from the leaflets printed for the oc-
casion. The singing was unusually
hearty and spirited. The choir of the
German Methodist church favored the
meeting with an anthem. The English
prayer was assigned to Rev. w. T.
Ream and the German prayer to Rev
I. F. Baumgaertner. The Scripture
lesson WAS read by Rev. Charles
Iwert. The German address was
given by Rev. E. r. Hinske, the Eng
lish by Rev. A. NJ. Bullock. During
the organ voluntary the Offering for
the work of the society was gathered,
the same amounting to $3.50, To
wards the close of the meeting the
annual business of the society was
transacted. The secretary and treas
urer read the report, which shows
that during the past year bibles valued
at 5000 were sold, and that there
are at present 243 volumes in stock
at the depository at Brennecke's drug
store, which stock is valued at $111.-
79. The old officers were reelected
for the ensuing year, viz: Rev. An
bert Haupert, president, and Conrad
Dippel, secretary and treasurer. The

Ahrens, Baptist; Charles Skinner,
Congregational; Jonas Stahl. English
Methodist; Charles Roth. German
Methodist; Charles Schiller, Morayian;

tired, pronounced the benediction.

ness, the executive committee elected
R. Fl. Brennecke as depositarian for

with numbering James Lewellin, was
begun at Sparta yesterday. A dis

by the person who sold the revolver.
| The next witness was the man who
roomed at the hotel next to Lewellin.
He testified that Lewellin and Trump
, played seven-up at the bar in the
early part of the evening for 25 cents
| corner, and later, about II o'clock,
he heard them playing in Lewellin's
room. About o'clock in the morn
ing he heard Trump and Lewellin
come in from the street and come up
stairs. He said that Lewellin was
crying and begged Trump to let him
go to the railroad track; that he had
no money. Trump tried to pacify
him, He heard Trump try to get
Lewellin to go to bed, but he still
cried and said he could not sleep.
Trump went below and brought him
a drink of some kind and left him.
In about fifteen minutes Lewellin
was asleep. snoring loudly and was
still sleeping at o'clock in the
! morning.
The hearing will occupy another
day and possibly two. Over thirty
witnesses are to be examined.
