A CHARACTKH SKETCH.
Tli uliiifactor of Iho Individuals
portrnyril In the drama, "The Merchant
of Vcnlif." are not unique of their
kind. MHny who llvt-d In the pant had
charm-tern of which these are typical,
and even to-day we have many who
havo the oddities of Home, tho natural
falthfulnws, peculiarity or charltahlo
kindness of others.
The three most prominent In the fore
ground of this portrayal of life are An
tonio. Shylock and Portia, who, differ
ing widely In their natures, make a
(rood contrast between true, faithful
friendship, unscrupulous (freed, and
womanly tact -and prudence. Antonio
was a quiet, thoughtful and unassum
ing nature. An unusual sadness op
pressed him at this lime. Snd. ho know
not why; not because of love or business
cart's. Often a sadness will oppress be
fore some Impending evil and this
may bo the cause of the sadness of our
fair Antonio. In contrast with our Im
pulsive Bassanlo, Antonio reminds us
very much of a drooping flower which,
fortune having turned against, seems
rendy to fall hoir to tho calamities of
faU. Yet even in his sadness the ever
ready and helpful Antonio had thought
for others and Inquired the cause of his
friend's disturbed peace of mind. As a
true friend ho whs ready to lay down
all, even his life, In payment for the
debt of a friend, and "no greater love
hath a man than this, that he lay down
hi life for his friend." A Inind Is mado
and If forfeited a pound of Antonio's
flesh Is required, more to satisfy evil
love of revenge than real payment of
tho bond. The bond is forfeited nnd
Antonio, faithful to his promise, will
pay it with his life. During the trial,
how calm he is ! And with what quiet
ness of spirit he faces the tyranny and
rage of his unfeeling foo! How bravuly
he awaits death! But when fortune
again favors him ho renders mercy to
the unmorclful .Tow, who with evil grasp
would have o readily snatched his life
from him. The gisxls which the jus
tice gave Into Antonio's hands were
given back to the Jew on tho condition
that upon hia death he renders It to his
daughter, Jessica. Antonio was a God'
fearing man and his christian character
is here clearly shown for mercy is an
attribute of God and
'And rnnhly power dntli tluwi hIiow llkpst
Where merry seasons Justice."
ttfMl H.
Shvlock. Antonio, too, and others
of like character ciuld say,
"Dally with snulsthat cringe and plot
We Hlnal's cllmli."
For beside christian Antonio we have
the evil-minded, ovll-soulcd Shylock.
His greed for gold and fear of losing
taught him to bo shrewd In business.
But almost like a Pharisee he bad deal
ings with the christians but thought
himself too rlghtooui to pray or have
any fellowship with them. The deceit
of bis nature is shown In his words,
Rest you fair good slgnor A ntonlo; your
worship was the last In our mouths,
"I would be friends with you," nnd then
he says asldo, "I hate him, cursed bo
my tribe if I forgive him," "I will have
tho heart ofhiiu, If ho forfeit." Gold
appears to be hia god and yet bis adora'
tion of It is not as ardent as his love for
christian b.ood. The loss of his beau
tiful daughter, Jessica, bis own flesh
and blood, was not as great a loss to
hlra as the loss of the gold and jewels
she had taken with ber or tho money
lost in Booking her. Yet even In his
sorrow over the loss of her, he showed
joy at the news of Antonio's failure, and
his love of revenge.
He portrays a cruel and villainous
nature during the court trial. In his
impatience for the trial to proceed in
order that he might the sooner gain the
object he coveted, his pleasure in ro
venge increased as lie heard the sen
tence, "Prepare thy bosom for the
knife," addressed to Antonio. But at
last, fortune being against him, he Is
subdued and kindness shown him by
the murchunt whom ho so longod to kill.

AN ACTIVE CAREER ENDED.
Joseph C. Riston, Son of Mr. and Mrs. D.
W. Riston, of Reynoldsville, Died
at Braddock Wednesday.
Ilrnitilix'k "Evt-nliiK Iluruld" Oct. 2(1.1
It was with a feeling of personal loss
that the intelligence of the death of
Ireman Joseph Cupples Riston was re
ceived last night by his host of local
friends. After twenty years of active
life in the ranks of the public men ot
Braddock, Mr. Riston has been taken
from among a loving family and a com
munity of devoted friends and co-workers.
Last night at 8.40 his spirit took
Its flight. It was a sweet sleeping
away, and as the end approached
the dying man, realizing that his time
was short, called his family, his aged
father and mother and the many grief
stricken dear ones to his side, bado
them n last good-bye, crossed his hands
on his breast, and passed serenely away.
It was a most Impressive death.
Few men In the community can leave
a better record than Mr. Riston. He
was born in Pittsburg 07 years ago.
When but a small boy he aceompunied
his parents to Brady's Bend, or East
Brady, Clarion county. Hero ho
married, was engaged in tho butcher
business and made his home till 1HH0.
During the war of tho relicllion he
served in Company B. 12.'lrd Pennsyl
vania volunteer Infantry. He was dis
charged with tho rank of corporal. Tho
organization of which he was a member
was styled tho"Flghtlng Butcher Boys."
Since 1W0 Mr. Riston has been allied
with fire department work volunteer
or regular. At Brady's Bend he was an
active worker In the volunteer company
and almost immediately after coming to
Braddock in 18H0 resumed tho work.
His ability and popularity won him an
apointment on the regular deportment
at tho time of Its organization and ho
has remained there true to his duty and
calling ever since.
For several months past Mr. .Riston
had been unwell. On the first of Sep
tember last ho was given a week's va
cation, and accompanied by his wife
and members of his family, wont to
Rldgevlcw camping grounds to seek
rest nnd quiet. Tho chnngo was at
tended by a paralytic development and
it was four weeks before the stricken
fireman was able to bo returned to his
home In this city. Since that time he
has been but little Improved nnd was
never able to leave his bed for more
than a few hours at a time.
At eloven o'clock yesterday morning
a chango was noticed and It was evldont
that Mr. Riston would Boon entor his
long, last sloop. All of the many rela
tives in this vicinity were called to his
bcdsldo and were a great source of com
fort to him during tho, last peaceful
hours. i
Surviving him are his wife, Virginia,
one son, John S., and four daughters,
Nellie H., wife of Squire Frank T. Rod
man; Ada K., wifo of T. M. Ward; May '
C. and Luolla E., at homo. . All of the
above reside in this city. Others sur
viving are Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Riston,
of Roynoldsvillo, Pa., father and moth
er of tho deceased; one brother, Alex
ander, of Reynoldsville, and eight sis-
tors, Misses Agnes and Maud, at home;

Hamilton, of Groensburg; Mrs. M. J.
Kribbs, cf Wllkinsburg; Mrs. M. C.
Hayden, of Brooklyn, and Mrs. Martha
H. McGaw, of Punxsutawnoy, Pa.
From 1883 till 1885 Mr. Riston was
a mcinrjor ol borough council. He
was one of the men active In tho build
ing of the water works. He has for
many years past been amemborof Major
A. M. Harper Post J81, G. A. R. Ha
