Mir. Hanford said his conception of the character is quite different from that of many players and he seeks to show the good side of Shylock as well as the bad side. He tries to portray that while Shylock went too far in seeking the life of man in fulfillment of bond of money. he had been him. self abused most shamefully. had suf- fered every indignity that could be put upon him. to the loss of not only his wealth and honor but his daughter had been stolen. Finally to crown all he was forced to acknowledge the so-called Christian religion, which was itself as much mockery of the Chris tian religion as Shylock's faith could have been. for it was as then prac- l ticed. Christianity without Christ. and when Shylock totters from the court room the scene speaks as strong condemnation of his prosecutors as the former scenes were a condemna- | tiOn of his revenge and utter lack of charity.
 MT Hanford says he has met great many rabbis in his travels with whom he holds the strongest personal
 
 with his ideas of the character. On one occasion he said a San Francisco rabbi came to criticize and after the performance they dined together. The player was taken to task for many of the attitudes and gestures in the court scene, every one of which has significance for those who are close students of the play. of the history of that time and the customs of that country. In every instance when his explanation was given the rabbi &C., knOwledged the merit of the players conception. In some other instances the rabbi who was a close student of Shakespeare himself, gave him a clearer insight into the part than he had had before. In a word Shylock should be studied instead of guessed at. in order that he may have fair treatment.
 To illustrate the carefulness with which MT. Hanford studied every ac- ton in the play. and tries to make it carry particular significance a sin gle incident is referred to- Shylock wears a cap with a yellow crown in pursuance of law that forced his ptpplt SO lO uO. W nen ne enters lne court room GratianO snatches the cap from Shylock's head and throws it on the floor as if to reprove him for not barring his head to the court. A rabbi in a critical way once took Han ford to task for this, assuming that it was done to indicate that the Jew was lacking in manners and respect. The actor at once called the critics atten- ton to the fact that Shylock next picked up the cap and not deigning to look upon Gratiano. presented it to the court with bowed head. as much as to say that he was doing his utmost to obey the law and would do so. only that the insolent Gratiano had pre- vented him. The incident conveys the injustice of the general prejudice against the Jew as illustrated in the conduct of Gratiano. and one of Shy locks most notable virtues. comph- ance with the law. The explanation was entirely pleasing to the rabbi who saw the picture in a new light

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
 IN NEXT SIXTY DAYS
Chicago Businessmen Believe That a
 Marked Improvement is s'Due.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-(SpeciaI corres- ] pondence of The Republican.) - A
 marked improvement in business con-
 ditions during the next sixty days is to be expected, according to the first systematic attempt to canvass the sit
 uation among mercantile and manu- [ featuring interests in this city. As
 many of the largest firms that answer ed have relations throughout the west and south, this canvass is of more than l cal significance and may be considered fair test of general condi-
 tions west of Pittsburg. Letters were sent to 2700 members of the Associa- ton of Commerce asking for express sions of opinion and statistics of em- ployes. The replies were tabulated and showed that twelve per cent less men
 are employed today in Chicago than were year ago. On the other hand.
 more than half the firms responding
 stated that they were planning to in- crease their forces within the next 50 days and S6 per cent of the firms de- clared that they expected conditions to improve radically in that time. The
 army of unemployed continues to grow.
 though not so rapidly. A work test
 has just been established at the mu- nicipal lodging house were nearly five hundred men are given free accommO- dations each night. A days volunteer work on the streets entities a man to
 lodging house ticket for three days.
 Later the work will be made compuI- sory.
 T
 hers of the Theodore Thomas orchestra
 given by Chicago's fashionables was enlivened by the mishaps of enthusias-
 tic scene shifting by faultlessly attired young men. As there was no drop curtain. this was done in full view of
 the audience. First. they attacked
 some mountains, a desert and sea. and got off with them. From the top
 of stepladder a young man in even- ing dress wrenched loose a beetling
 cliff and passed it down, amid ap- plause. Then began the erection of a palace. Jack Frost's fountain was
 carelessly put on top of AgamemnOn's tomb, and when this was discovered. the fountain. tomb and castle all were carried off the stage. The proceeds of all this-and the music-went to one who for years was a violinist in the
 orchestra but in far away Germany,
 now is going blind.
 The question of woman's veracity as a witness. raised by reports of a
 speech by Col. James Hamilton Lewis,
 eX-corporation counsel of Chicago. seems likely to eclipse for time the question Why did not Senator Jeffer-
 son Davis attend the Bryan banquetY
 He was reported to have told 200 stu
 dents of the Northwestern University
 law school: An oath means nothing to woman. and. as Horace has so truth | fully expressed it, when a woman

 mater in Georgia, and his constituency as gubernatorial and senatorial can

The Triumph of a New Idea

WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.

Crom the Boston Transcript.
Paraguay Is rich in local color. The pic
turesaue character of the native popula-
ton with their quaint Indian features
and habits of everyday life are interest
ing to anybody fond of observing strange
phases of human life. By nature these
people are patient and gentle, seldom
complaining. chattering and laughing
from sunrise to sunset and taking small
thought Of what the morrow may have
in store for them.
1t liz hard to imagine how Lopez could
have drilled them into fighting material
of strength enough to keep in check the
combined forces of Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay for five long weary years. and
it speaks volumes for the indomitable
energy of the man that he was able to
sustain his position for SO protracted a
time.
Clothing is very much of superfiuity
in Paraguay. The attire of the women
is a cotton chemise with a long sheetlike
shawl, or manta, passed over the head
and around the body in Moorish fashion.
The dress of the men is equally simple.
consisting only of cotton shirt and trous-
ers. Both sexes are guiltless of foot COW

ing rises when a group Of these white
robed, dark-haired maidens pass sudden

OF a morning in the market places the
women folk flock to sell their wares, car
rying on their heads the baskets contain
ing the few cents worth of native pro-
duce they have been able to gather to-
gether for disposal in the towns. The
soft Guarani language, the common
tongue of the Paraguayans, adds further
