my hand, heave up my shoulders
when they call me dog, and duck as
low as any barefoot friar." His cruel
heart knows no feeling or friendship:
and he cares not if he perish along
with his enemy, as long as his enemy
perish. He has no scruples of any
kind. Remorse never troubles his
heart. Even at the gates of death he
gasps out hatred and vengeance
against the world. instead of regret
and repentance.
If anything reveals character. it is
ones attitude toward interiors and
dependents. And in this respect Shy
lock and Barabas are great contrasts.
Barabas lacks all dignity. He dimes
with his slave and jokes at his slaves.
and allows his slave to joke at him.
He makes a bosom friend of IthamOrt..
calls him by all kinds of endearins
names-his friend. "his second self"
He even permits him to lay hands on
Abigail. But on the other hand, he
always keeps him under watch, trusts
him with nothing. save poison or let
ter of challenge. and is extremely
frightened when Ithamore leaves his
service. With Shylock, it is just the
contrary. He would disdain to shake
hands with his servant. He possesses
too much pride and self-respect to
permit LauncelOt to take liberties
with him, and is wroth when the lat
ter allows himself to call Jessica by
name without being hidden. or to talk
to her in privacy Still. he often leaves
the house in guard of Launceiot. en-
ploys him in his business. and. when
parting with his services. has II kind
word for him. and even speaks well of
him to his new master.
And not in their moral character
alone, but in their intellectual attain
ments as well. in their culture and ed
ucation. in their philosophy of life.
and religious beliefs. these two men
are almost antithetical. Shylock is
man of moderate intellectual attain
ments. He has great moral force, but
his Sympathies are narrow. He is the
type of the average Jew of the middle
ages, with all his faults and merits.
Prosecuted by his neighbors. lie with
draws unto himself for intellectual
nOurishment, and ignores everything
that is not Jewish. He recognizes no
classes. knows nothing of mythology
and cares not for profane sciences.
The pleasures of life do not appeal
to him. The amusements of his Chris
tian neighbors are to him "shallow
foppery.' His house is as sober as
his life is chaste. Life to him is big
market place. where each one must
strive to be thrifty. Thriftiness is
the motif in the human drama. His
is the same healthy religious belief
which made the Jew of the middle
ages proof against all the trials Of
spirit and flesh.
Barabas. on the other hand is IL
highly cultivated man. He is a ply
sician and an engineer. has travelled
much and read much; he draws OF
the classics as much as on the Bible.
and his acquaintance with mythology
gives him that cosmopolitan air
which is rare in Jew of the middle
ages. Yet his conversation is vulgar.
He curses in most vigorous way.
and his jokes are Of the coarsest kind.
His experience is as varied as his
knowledge is extensive. He regards
life as one heep of booths, of which
every one must grasp as much as he
can. He affiliates himself to Christi
anity but his Judaism is not worth

The Tampa Evening News has the
following criticism Of the performance
at the Tampa Bay Casino. February
18th:
Sylvan Lee, the hypn0tist, opened
. weeks engagement at the Tampa
Bay Casino and was accorded a most
aattering reception BY alarge and en-
thusiastie audience.
Time and again the spectators
were cOnvuIsed in laughter and at
some stages of the performance the
entire audience were on their feet
offering tumultuOus applause to this
clever artist.
After q few moments talk ON the
subject Of hypnotisIn, Professor Lee
asked for volunteers from the audi
euce to cnme on the stage TO act ss
bis subjects. About twenty volunteer
ed and then the fun began. After a
few simple tests such as falling for.
ward and backward and elasping and
uuclaSDing the hands the Professor
placed them under the hypnOtic In

we're little short Of the miraculous.
with . body Of men possessing alb
Solutely no histriOnic ability. he gave
q performance which aroused more
genuine laughter than any show that
has visited Tampa In years.
'Oue moment he had them imagin-
ing they were members OF a minstrel
troupe giving 4 first part and using
common ordinary brooms for their mu
sieal instruments and the next
moment they were running up and
down the aisIes under the impression
that they were babies lost in the park
and crying for their mammas, The
performance was both instructive and
Amusing. The Hindoo or Lothian
sleep was introduced for the first time,
i've people being put TO sleep in the
audience during this test. OF these
Eve there were three wellknown ladies
OF this city.
The impression made by Professor
Lee on this his first appearance in
Tampa was most catering and II is

By crowded houses every night dur.

EXTEND TO HENDERSON.
Timpson and Northwestern Given a
Bonus to Complete Its Line.

Timpson, Texas, Dec. 16.-The
Timpson and Northwestern railroad is
completed to Pine Hill, in this county.
a distance of only twelve and one-haIf
miles from this point. This road is
owned and controlled by the Ragley
Lumber company and has been con-
structed without issuing one dollar of
bonds and is wholly out of debt. In
compliance with a proposition by Mr..
Ragley to extend the road here mass,
meeting of the citizens of the town
and adjacent country was held in the
court house yesterday and sufficient
stock subscribed to insure the success
of the enterprise
This is very important connection
for this town, as it shortens the dis
lance materially to deep water, gives
connection at Timpson with the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe systems, and
upon completion of the Santa sifa
Longview to Paris, gives another out
let to the north, besides the various
connections had at Shreveport with
the trunk lines entering there. 1t has
had the effect of restoring confidence
in the permanence of the superior adj
vantages of this place as trading
point.
