London and Herlin Is stirred to the coro of the heart of fociety; an accident ha3 befallt n th Princess Henry of Pless. Kcjr any woman to have her face cut I a -great -sorrow, but for a famous beauty to have her face disfigured for life by broken grlass is a tragedy to the public and to the woman. All the world loves a beautiful face;, and the fascinating daughter of Mr3. Corn-wallls-Weat had a; face that men raved over, women were jealous of, and which, together with her wonderful manner, gave her, a comparatively poor girl in English fcceictyr the Dent parti in that society. The princess has her face bandaged an? under the care of Burgeons, and perhaps the best medical skill Irt Germany will restore her wonderful beauty, but thj great doctors mournfully shake their heads at present. The accident was caused by two fright ened horses that ran into her automoUle; there was a general collision; her trap was overturned and thrown Into .i ditch. The prince was badly injured about the bodv. bat the beautiful woman, be tides being badly shaken up and shocked by the fall, was slashed all over the faco and throat by Hying pieces of glass from the heavy windows of the trap. The cashes are deep, many in numDer, and it is believed almost impossible that they can be healed without a few dis figuring scars, at least. Next to death, probably no accident could have so hurt Princess Henry. Had she been crippled great medical skill could have restored her to health and enjoyment of life, but with her beautiful face thoroughly disfigured and ugly, seamed with red scars and drawn flesh, the will be a nervous wreck for life. Of course. It may not be as bad as this. because there are other things added to a surgeon's skill these days that restore the flesh to its normal condition over a cut; massage, electricity, ointments are now employed with great result by expert masseuse under the direction of great doctors for such disfigurement. The accident happened near the prin cess's castle Furstnstein in Prussia. The prince and princess, with two English friends, were traveling at a tremendous rpoeel in their automobile on the way to Schweidnitz. Two farm horses, unused to city ways, were hauling a great lumberinR wagon, tilled with a heavy.load. The terrible automobile came swerving down the road to them, and the powerful horses plunged and reared, and al though the prince turned his motor aside, he was not quick enough to get out of the way of the wagon, which the horses over turned into the motor car. The load from tho wagon and the automobile went down together into a deep ditch and everyone was pretty badly hurt. The Princess fainted from the blew she receiveei In falling, and when they picked her up, unconscious, her lace, to their excited minds, seemed cut to pieces. It was covered with debris from tho automobile, and the thick glasses had struck her on the cheek, forehea.1 and chin. Princess Henry has tlu rare lovliness of an Irish aristocrat; th voice, and the eyes of ono. du Maurir gave us the type, and made the world hew down and love it in his wonderful Alary in "Peter Ibblti-en." Mis? "West, the joungest daughter of that professional b-?a.uty. Mrs. ComwalllsWcst, and of Color,el West who was a dashing, handsome man, overshadowed by his great wife. It is always said of Mrs "Wej-t that she is a matchmaker as well as a beauty, but her fame in this line has been lost somewhat since her other diughter's engagement to the Duke of Westminster was broken and her handsome ycung son Insisted upon marrying Lady RandolphChurchill When Mr3. West announced the engagement of her youngest daughter to Prince Henry of Piess. there was wrath unbounded In the hearts of th- Prit!i matrons, for the young Prussian millionaire was a great parti, cn:l should have married the daughter of a duke or the granddaughter of an earl. Hut he married untitled Miss West, who, however, was in the greatest society of England and r.r intimate friend of the Princess of Wales. The princess has stirred society more than once in her short career. First, her debut in London, as a great Irish beauts', created a sensation. London society was trained to watch for these northern beauties, because of the experience they had in days gone by when three Celts had come out of the north, and with voices of magic and hypnotic eyes and bewitching wit had lowered to their feet all that was best and most de?lrable In the male portion of society. So Miss West decided to live up to the tradition of her predecessors, and make the best match of the season. Then the absurd behavior of the Duchess of York made the young girl more famous still. The Duchess of York was a lady of creat decree, vet she took the public into her confidence about the pronounced Jeal ousy of Miss West. The Duke of lork was Infatuated witn the girl and showed his admiration plainly. They were In the same set and constantly thrown together. Not the slightest scandal was attached to her name, and public sympathy was more and more on her side because of the open Jealousy of the duchess and the way she treated the Kirl. It is said that the princess is the only woman of whom the Duchess of York was ever Jealous, although , the duke has admired many women. Never was public sympathy and admlra tlon more with this brilliant young woman than it is to-day. Bv the by. London is gossiping quite a deal over the fact that had Princess Henry conquered her feelings and gone to her mother's house party, where tne est family and the Churchills are smoking the pipe of peace after the quarrel over the marriage of young West to Lady 'Randy," she would have been spared this acci dent. Of course, there was a great deal ado when the beautiful widow of Lord Churchill married her son's intimate friend. Lieu tenant West; the Prince of wales was asked to interfere and Mrs. West would not go to the wedding, and there was all sorts of divisions and feelmgs. But things smoothed out last month, and a fortnight ago Mrs. West gave a house party for her new daughter-in-law. fche invited and wired her youngest daughter. Princess Henry, to come to her and make peace with "the new Mr?. West, but the Princess could not forgive her brother as easily as the rest, for they were close companions. and he had ignored her wishes in his mar riage; so she pouted and obstinately stayed away. Then came her accident when she "was In Germany getting out of the way of the pipe of peace party. Pension for Veteran.

BOOK AGENT OF f0-DAY

MARKED CIIAXGCS IN METHODS OF SELLING BY SUBSCRIPTION. The nuslnean Taken Up by First-Claws Publishers tiood Incomes of Successful Salesmen. New York Commercial Advertiser. Time was when the average book agent was classed In popular enthusiasm with peddler3 and canvassers for "notions," was dependent for his sales upon persistence and loquacity, and was commonly regarded as a nuisance. Now, as a rule, at least In the larger towns, he Is an Intelligent, well-mannered pernon, representing a highclass house, and bringing its production to the attention of people who are . often pleased with the opportunity to purchase. The general change In character of tho agent Is an Incident of the marked development In the publication and sale of subscription books, which has been especially notable within tho last ten years, and is etlll in progress. )Vith the exception of expensive works of reference, and of some popular autobicgraphies, the subscription books of years ago were chiefly of the "Mother, Home and Heaven" order, which caused subscription works In general to be looked down upon by tho better class of book buyers and publishers. Of tho exceptions noted, tho most remarkable was tho "Encyclopaedia flritannica," tho ninth and last edition of which was the first edition to be sold in this country by subscription, and which had a phenomenal sale, mostly between IfrSO and 1S90. Previously the work had been sold only to public libraries and per sons of wealth, while through the subscrip tion plan it was sold by agents all over the country to professional men and others who would never have thought of buying it otherwise. Still earlier, an American cy clopaedia' had been sold by subscription, but works of this character and memoirs of popular heroes were, with few exceptions, the only first-class books sold In this way up to about ten years ago. The old-style subscription books, of the inferior grade, were usually bound in one or two volumes, at 53 or $10; in the rare Instances" where new editions of standard authors were Issued on this plan they were decidedly expensive. The most striking feature of tne marge in the last decade is the print ing of standard authors, to be sold by sub scription only, ana yet at a comparatively low price. EXCELLENT EDITIONS. A number of llrst-class publishing houses In this city and elsewhere have taken up this line as a part of their regular busi ness. They also issue "libraries" of various kinds, and series of histories and biographies. These sets, which include from ten to forty volumes, are much better than the usual popular editions, being printed on water-marked paper, from new type, and are illustrated by good artists. If an or dinary edition is sold over book-store coun ters at an average price of $1.50 a volume, the popular subscription set is sold at 2 a volume, and the subscriber gets a far Detter work. ISiot Infreauentlv. where modern authors are concerned, he could not obtain a complete uniform library edi tion in any other way. The be lef is ex pressed that this feature of the subscrip tion Dusiness nas "come to stay." Book buyers are being educated ud to it. more of the high-class houses are going into it, and those already In are devoting more money and attention to its development. a liunDer or expensive high-class works are now issued by subscriptions solely. One prominent isew York firm has Just published a new book of historical interest in three editions, of two volumes eacn, at $30. at $100 and at $150. There are 1.250 copies in the cheapest edition, 200 .n the next and only fifty in the most expensive. The higher-priced seta have special features, not only belns printed on larger and finer paper, but having extra Illustrations. Art works, distinctively, which were popu lar some years ago, are now not so much in demand, largely owing, it is said, to the fact that many inferior works of this character were formerly Imposed at high prices upon people who were not good Judges. Still, some high-class art works, of particular interest to certain elements ir the community, are brought out by well-kni"-firms In Paris and this city, and sell well at prices as hl?h as $300 a set. One of tho most recent of these issues, which appeals to the religious, the art-loving and the student of history, is publlsheel in five editions, ranging in price from JoOO down to J30. OTHER NEW FEATURES. Some houses which publish periodicals sell certain sets of subscription books with the magazine free for a year, the idea, of course, being to secure the recipient as a permanent subscriber to the latter. Another comparatively new feature of the subscription business is the sale of sets of books called "libraries" through clubs formed by department stores of people who send In their names la answer to advertisements. A representative of a high-grade publishing house said that the changes In the character of sales by subscription had brought about a marked change in the general character of the agents who sold the better class of works. Their business was better paid and there was a greater disposition to make it a regular vocation. Formerly, and now to some extent, he said, persons dropped into it because it required no capital, and because In It a man was his own master, so far as his time was concerned. They often soon dropped out again, after selling what they could to their friends and acquaintances. Now the business attracted many intelligent and wellread men, including college graduates, who worked up a regular clientage among their customers. Several agents of the sneaker own house made $5.000 a year by the sale of comparatively low-priced works, and there were probably exceptional cases of men who made more. A member of a firm publishing subscription books exclusively said: "The suhscrintion plan makes It possible to sell much better editions of books than could be sold in stores, ior anything like tho same nrice. for two reasons. In the first nlaee. thev are sold to many people who would not go to the stores for them, and, secondly, they are paid for on easy installments, onlv a small proportion of the total price beins required at tne nrst payment. This method greatly increases the number of our chasers. Among the latter, however, are many people or means and of the best class. To deal with them an agent must be Intelligent and a gentleman. The days when a book agent went about with a frayed shirt and broken boots are gone by. One of my salesmen (an exceptional man. of course), has a drawing account of $200 a week, and averages an income of $12,000 a year. It lsn t necessary for him to use a carriage In New York, but In smaller cities he drives about In the best one he can get. I know a woman agent in this city, working chiefly for a Philadelphia nouse, who manes more money than the man I mentioned. She declares she has made sales aggregating $1,000,000," aaBBsssBssBsssspassBMssssasssMssaaBBssssss HOW A strike: is organized. Inlon Meeting Where Men of Different Races Come Together. E. W. Mayo, in Frank Leslie's Monthly. As may readily be Imagined, it is no easy task to organize the discordant elements representing a dozen different nationalities in a labor union. In practice it has been found necessary to form the unions on the lines of language. Among the employes of a single company there will be found an English-sneaking union, an Italian union. a Magyar union, and perhaps half a dozen others. Their meetings are separate, unless the proposal for strike calls for united action and obliges tnem to meet together. It is difllcult to imagine any scene more picturesque and dramatic than one of these union meetings, wnere airrerent and or dlnarily discordant races are gathered un ler a single roof and for a single purpose. The day before the big strike was ordered I attended such a meeting a few miles south of Haxleton. Six different organiza tions were represented, and all the proceedings were carried on in six different tongues English. Magyar. Bohemian. Pol i?h. Lithuanian und Italian. The direct president erf the United Mine Workers an Irishman, by the way was present, and was the controller spirit of the assembly.

His active part In. the proceedings, however, was confined to giving his instructions to the heads of the different unions, all of whom gpoke English. When the meeting had been called to order, the proposal to Join the strike came up for discussion. First of all a few of the English-speaking men gave their opinions pro and con In awkward and ungrammatlcal, but terse and common-sense speeches. When they had finished, and before the question was put to vote, the Magyar and Bohemian leaders rose and explained, each in his own tongue, the object of the meeting. Workmen from the nationalities which Vhey represented then addressed the meeting, tome advocating and tome opposing the strike. They were in strong contrast to the previous speakers. Heavily built and slow of utterance, they spoke deliberately, in the harsh, consonant acceiu. of their native tongue, punctuating their remarks with heavy-handed ge3tures, while their compatriots leaned forward listening Intently, but with unmoved expressions. The same process was followed with the Poles and Lithuanians, stalwart, coarshalred men, who spoke rapidly with a Jangle of accents that sounded unintelligible to the spectator, but which had the effect of causing an eager, though subdued, buzz of comment among their fellow-countrymen. Then came the turn of the Italians, and before their chairman had finished his explanatory remarks a dozen, ardent and gesticulating men were on their feet all talking at once in the swift-flowing speech of the sunny fatherland, pouring out a torrent of words which the chairman was utterly unable to stem. Into the circle of space left in the center of the room suddenly bounded a man who quickly silenced the others and claimed the attention of the whole assemblage by his impassioned harangue. He was a man of thirty, dressed in the. rough Jeans of the miner and wearing a pair of dark colored glasses over hi3 eyes, but with a face that

showed intelligence and education. It was impossible even for those of us who could not understand his words not to feel the force of the fiery stream of Invective and appeal which poured faster and ever fafcter from hi3 lips. Whatever one might think of his sentiments it could not be denied that ho was an orator of no mean ability. I learned afterward that he was a man of university education, and that he was tell ing bis fellows of the glorious days when their forefathers -were the strongest na tion In the world, urging them to be worthy of tho grand traditions of their race. As he went on he threw his hat upon the floor and unconsciously reached toward his boot. wnere thA Italian carries his ever-ready weapon. Not for an Instant did he falter in his speech, which flowed like the rush-ir-of a mountain torrent, and I have never seen a liner example of frenzied eloquence. me ruci-i ui ms oration was remarKaoie. Not only did it bring the audience to their feet with cries of annroval and excited gestures, but it held every man in the room spen Dound. so evident was the tenor. If not the exact wording of his speech. SPEAKING OF CHRISTMAS. Sign In Women's .Magazine That It Is on Its Way. New York Evening Sun. Christmas is on its wnv: nlrearlv a fow sporadic cases of the Christmas shopping lever nave Deen diagnosed. Herore long the disease, beinar unlike n nv nther not sublect to health regulations and its first subjects promptly quarantined, will become general and virulent. Already women who pose as "original" are planning how to take their friends by surprise with fresh prooi öl mis seir-same originality when i ne oin oi secern oer rolls round. "Not the gift, but the srdrlr In whleh t fa Hi-en" -how many times over this coming Christ mas win tnis old, respected, moth-eaten sentiment be snfd and ivrittr nnri trie. graphed and telephoned bv women who actually think that in so doing they are getting off something new and original, not to lay extra clever? Every cold storage warehouse in town is piled full of "holiday numbers' of our great magazines pre parea careiuiiy py tne typewriters and photographers that run such literary enterprises nowadays while the inspiration of the proper Fourth of July spirit was full upon them, and to be sprung upon an alas! all too suspecting public some time before Thanksgiving. Such taking and timely articles as "Christmas Amnnc tho ennni bals," "Tammany's Christmas," "Christ mas as it Aever was, .Never nas Been and Never Could Be" and "A Fourth of July Christmas" are to be found in the magazines. Were any of these cold storage warerrouses to carcn nrc mere wou'd undoubtedly be an explosion beside which the Tarrant blow-r.n of the other lv wonM stem mild indeed. .So inflammable nnd of sucn aeaniy combustible quality Is the hoi stuff of these "holiJamagazine" numbers as to cast In the shade both dvn.imlte nnri nitroglycerin. Hut thi most certain symptorn oi me appioacn or unnstmas is the appearance in all the pages and periodicals consecrated to the affairs of women of the dear old recipes and rreserlntlon for manufacturing Christmas presents. "Christ mas i'resents aiade Kasy," "Home-made Christmas Gifts," "How to Make Your Own Christmas Presents" these are some of the titles. Again we read that by gluing six peanut shells to a fresh-baked waflle, gilded, of course, and with a round hole chopped out of the waffle's middle, the whole ornamentod with baby-blue satin ribbon, you will have a most efcgant, not to say appetizing, picture frame "at very little cost." Note thes last words. You will learn to note them before you have read many Christmas-present prescriptions. "Take any old cookstove," we read again. "Handpaint It daintily with wild rcses, or forget-me-nots if preferred, and removing the lids stuff the holes with excelsior covered with embroidered silk plush to match the flowers of the hand-painting. This makes a dainty and novel pin-cushion device, there being Just as many pincushions as there are holes; while from the decorative point of view, what could be a more welcome addition to any boudior than a hand-painted cookstove?" What would Christmas be without these familiar, ingenious recipes that glut the literarv market to the exclusion of Marie Corelll herself for months previous to the holiday; and all to the tune of "Home-made Christmas Presents and How to Make Them."

We assume that It is an organ of some of the specialties perhaps electricity but shall have to borrow it with our apologies and thanks. The extract refers to a "group of well-known electrical engineers, chatting in the Flfthavenue Hotel, last Sunday," one of whom, after expressing wonder at Carleton's amazing versatility, went on to say: "I saw his central station Instrument for the Pan-signal yesterday, and It is the most extraordinary bit of automatism I have seen In some years. It really has only four moving parts, and these of surprising simplicity, and yet it performs eleven different simultaneous electrical operations, and it Is almost human in the way in which it performs its task of compelling a few bits of brass, iron, and wire to single out from 500 different circuits the particular one over which a call is coming; start the distant instrument; direct Its currents to their places In the recorder; hold off all other signals till that one is fully recorded; call bellboy to the desk; cut off the battery when It Is no longer needed; prevent other calls already set from interference; hold back those set after It begins to operate, and do a number of other stunts with a delicacy and accuracy which cannot be easily understood even after you have watched the thing at work. "Carleton must be daring In his conceptions, or he would never have attempted such a seemingly Impossible achievement." Guy Carleton "was once "well known In this city and is no doubt remembered very generally still. He is a son of the late Gen. James H. Carleton, U. S. A., famous as an Indian fighter, and once held a commission in the service himself. The Idea of his doing garrison duty i3 too preposterous. At any rate, he didn't do it long. He left the army very soon after entering it, and in 1S77 turned up at New Orleans and was shortly engaged in driv ing a quill on the Times newspaper of that city. He occasionally threw a little too much ginger into the paragrapns. which. Irr those days, were not carefully edited, and it was not long before the proprietor, a devout churchman, received a call from a committee of deacons and found himself entangled in a strictly pious but extremely strenuous controversy. The proprietor at last came to. see mat carieton was nothing but a tub after all. so he threw him overboard to tne- wnaie. About this time, however, the famous yellow fever epidemic of 1STS broke cut and Carleton was once more in demand. Concurrently with hie work on the Times for he stuck to his post from beginning to end he wrote for the New York Times the most brilliant and intelligent series of letters on the yellow fever visitation that

His knowledge of the disease, its symptoms and peculiarities; his familiarity with medicine, chemistry, the art of nursing, etc. etc. all this astounded the faculty of New Orleans, many of whom knew that Carleton had never graduated in medicine, nor, indeed, in any other art, or science, for his whole college career covered less than three years, and had not been distinguished by that sedate plodding which turns .out so many prize-medalists and subsequently furnishes so many village stores with an excellent and economical clerical service. From New Orleans he "went to New York, where he may be said to have "resided ever since. His has been a Bohemian existence always. He has done literary work that amazed even such accomplished judges as Sir Henry Irving. He has written plays of minor Importance for pot-boilers, such as "Victor Durand," "A Gilded Fool," "The Butterflies," "The Lion's Mouth." etc., but nothing in this line since his great classical tragedy, "Memnon," has given one the smallest glimpse of the man's real literary gifts or his almost weird poetic temperament. When Grant died Carleton. wrote for the New York Times one of the noblest and most Eplendid hymns that has ever found its way into print, and the Times produced it on the first page with a display that surprised all New York. Nothing like it had ever been done by the then dignified and powerful Times. There is absolutely no standard by which this man can be appraised. He knows so many things and knows them thoroughly and profoundly he can speak at one moment with absolute authority touching the most occult and complicated questions, and in a breath become the lightest, most irresponsible, most fantastic purveyor of conceits and epigrams; there is no way to measure him none whatever. But, speaking in the light of nearly thirty years of knowledge and careful observation of Henry Guy Carleton, we are quite prepared to believe that he is as much the master In electricity and mechanics as he Is in literature, chemistry, medicine, mathematics or poetry. Seriously, we doubt whether, outside the domain of politics, commerce and statesmanship, Carleton's intellectual equal is to be found in all this land. F. HOPKI.XSON SMITH'S A" AM ES. Versatile Genius Rings the Changes on Ilia Initials in Various Forma. Chicago Post. F. Hopkinsan Smith, a dramatization of whose "Caleb West" will be soen at lieVicker's Theater, beginning to-night, is a remarkable character. He won fame In a dozen different directions, and ho manage to keep his Identity in these various callings distinct and clear. As an author of successful novels, such as "Caleb West, Master Diver,' "Tom Grogan," "A Day &t Laguerre's." and a dozen other popular books, he is F. Hopkinscn Smith. By the way, he has managed to put a great deal of autobiography into these same books. "Caleb West," In particular! teeming with personal matter. As Francis H. Smith, under which name his book3 are scheduled in the Chicago public library, he is known as a civil engineer and a builder of lighthouses. It was Mr. Smith who constructed the light at Race Rock, one of the most dangerous points on the Atlantic coast a spot where hundreds of lives have been sacrificed, and where it was thought impossible to build a light until Mr. Smith's ingenuity devised the means. The building of this lighthouse forms the backbone of the story of "Caleb West," the Incidents of which were the disagreeable things "which happened to Mr. Smith while he was rearing the huge pile of masonry. As F. H. Smith he is a plain man of affairs, a clubman welcomed in all the cities of the globe, a cosmopolite, a citizen of the world. It is as F. H. Smith that he is known to his most intimate friends, and to his associates in the busy world of brokers and bankers, "where he transacts his financial affairs. Some day Mr. Smith may decide to use his full name of Francis Hopkinson Smith, and then the complication will be too bewildering for ordinary people to solve. Mr. Smith will probably be In Chicago during the run of the play which is built on his book, and It will be Interesting to know what he thinks of "Caleb West" as a drama. He has not yet seen this work, although he assisted In Its onstruction. and heard It read before he left for Europe on a sketching tour of Holland. Italy and Spain. But it was produced during his absence, Manager Jacob Litt taking the company and production to New London, the tcene of the book, and the place where many of Its personages are still living., for Its first performance. This seemed a graceful bit of business diplomacy, and one which Immensely pleased the people of the quiet New England town. Many of . the men and women who appear In the story and the play Were present In the audience, and had the opportunity of seeing how Uiey looked and moved on the stage. It was a novelty to these people, and one much appreciated by thsxa.
