Tortious of the book are in a much hitrher arid more serious vein than this, and besides ls character drawing it has plot enough to hold the attention and carries a love story which has a surprising ending. Boston: Dana lics & Co. Ma ml Alone. The author of this story, Mark Ashton, has chosen for its basis an incident and for Its heroine a character never before fully treated in fiction, it is believed. It Is the story of Pontius Tilate's wife. From the Scriptures one learns nothing except that Pilate had a wife and that she tried to befrierd a ad save Jesus of Nazareth. It Is recorded by Matthew: "When he (Pilate) was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, 'Have thou nothing to "do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.' " That is about all we know of Pilate's wife except that her appeal to her husband was unsuccessful. In this story she is introduced as a Greek maiden. Kuphrosyne by name, who grows up very beautiful and is betrothed to the Koman soldier Aurelius, but separated from him by an imperial edict of Caesar and married to Pontius Pilate. She is his third wife, and he adores but deceives her. Her forced marriage, her journey to Jerusalem, her experience as the wife of the Koman ruler, her dream and its consequences, her deep interest. in the Man of Sorrows, her effort to save Him and its failure, her subsequent sorrowful life, her discarding of Pilate, her later experiences with Aurelius and her linal complete conversion to Christianity furnish material for a very interesting story in which the author's imagination has a wide field to work long historic lines. The story begins at a period when Jesus was a youth among the peasants of Galilee and continues for .1 time after His crucifixion. It is a strong and elevating- story, and the character of Pilate's wife is portrayed in such a way as to give her a very distinct and attractive personality. Boston: J... C. Page & Co. Illiler Hoist. This novel, by Everett Tomlinson, belongs to the class that deals with plain people, tili life, and, seemingly real experiences. 'Fdder Boise" is a young minister who is railed to a country town where his experiences serv to Introduce the reader to a company of typical -ountry folk and to Fuch manifestations of human nature as occur when it Is untrammeled by city conventionalities. The spiritual development of the young minister is treated with sympathy and perception. His experience in getting a firm footing of religious belief trikes a deep note and possesses vital interest for thoughtful readers. The attitude his congregation takes on the elder's preaching is depicted with evident fidelity to a situation that has often occurred, and which has it amusing as well as its serious aspect. The characters are natural and not overdrawn and some of them nre decidedly original. One of these. Hat Smith, says one Sunday: "I didn't dress up much. Fitter. When a man don't never go t' church, what's the use in his puttin' on gtyle jest because it's Sunday? Some folks seems t think a biled shirt an' a celierloid collar makes a man r'ligious. I ain't one o them kind. . ekin Mason an' me has different Idees 'beout thins." While the story has Tot much plot or action, it Is a true and hole.ome picture of country life and character, and shows ability i:i depicting human nature. The story carries a pretty romance, which has a happy ending in Buffalo, where the young minister finally accpts a call. New York: iJouWedav, Page Co. Jnell Demming. Here is a story with a very American atmosphere, lively movement and a charming love passage. Juell Demming, the hero, is an ambitious but Impecunious young print r, who, having made his way from New York State to a little town in Michigan, falls ill with fever and is taken into the home of a nice family where he is carelully nursed. His father is a Canadian and royalist, but thv son. having been born on the American side of the line, is a strong .American with Fnglish sympathies. The rtory runs along smoothly in the Michigan town, where Jijell. alter his recovery, mixes in polilU-s, until the war with Spain begins, when he enlists and goes to Cuba. His stirring experiences furnish some interesting chapters, ami after the war ends he go s to South Afric a to lu lp the British Kamst the Boers. There in a hospital where she has come to nurse he unexpectedly meets the American girl whom lie had first loved in Michigan. The rest will not be told. The hero wins fame and promotion both in Cuba and in South Africa, and the stor ends happily. Besides the romance the sentiment of Am;lo-Saxon domination, is v 11 brought out. The story has plot and action enough to give it interest, and the characters are clearly and naturally portrayed. It is written by Albert B. Lawn , and published by C McClurg Co., Chicago. Defeated, but iclor MID. The scene of thi story, by W. V. Iurenc. is laid in the vicinity of New Orleans in the period immediately following the civil war. At the ch.se of the .trugg!e many larg plantations and estatts In the Fouth were left without occupant or owner. Jn some instances unscrupulous camp followers, as soon as the war closed, hastemd to take possession of them, hoping, ,,f course, to retain them. Out of these conditions is wrought the story of this book inAolving a strug : for the Fmn a estate in Tew Orleans.

Is described in a manner that conveys a very clear idea of the environments. After the war ends the i-(-n, of the story changes to Kurope, where, ;iftr many vicissitudes, it ends happily with on-j marriage and .mother in prospe.-t. The story lacks life, its main i'ef'ct beintr that it is related from the .ut-sid.-instead of telling itself. The illustration by the author are very amateurish. It is attractively bound, as are all the book.s that issue from the Abbey l'ress, New York.

(iroruc i:iiof Worki. The new edition of the works of George i:iiot. the greatest of modern Fnglish novelists, which is being published by Doobleday, I 'age & Co., New York, is appropriately called "The Personal IMition" because it throws new and int resting light upon the personality of the author and the genesis of her books. Mrs. Fsther Wood has written for each volume an introduction showing how the story came to be written, placing the originals of the characters and describing the country und people among whom the author Jived and who had so mue-Ji influence on her work. The reader leaves these short but interesting studies with a hew appreciation of the reality and delightful humor of Mrs. Tulliver. of "Sifter Gbgg" ami "Sister Pullet," and all the rest of that famous company. Volume C of the series, now at hand, contains "Felix Holt." with the usual introduction by Mrs. Wood. The idition is one to-be. desired by every admirer of the great author. I'oii r-I.en veil Closer. Thi.i story, by Maxwell Gray, author of "The Silence of Dean Maitland," etc., is characterized in a subtitle as "An Everyday Bomance," and it has a elegree of naturalness and verisimilitude that justifies the designation, it is a story of Fnglish life, the sc. ne- being laid in England except when it shifts for a time, as to one of the characters, an officer in the armv. to India. It is essentially a love story, and the plot turns largely on the part played by a fourhaved clover which brought luck to the lover? and final happiness out of what seemed to b a dark situation. The1 story is admirably well told and is decided!y tradable New York: D. Appleton & Co. The DeviP.H Iinr. This book, as It name would suggest, is not a book to be commended. The-author, Eouis M. FIshamus, Is a man of liberal education, an artist, a poet, a musical composer and a traveler. He is now in the Fast, going from Hawaii to Samoa, where iie hopes to find the island natives less advanced in civilization than the Hawaiian people. He has been an extensive reader; certainly, nothing with a universal tendency has escaped him. His style is vigorous and his thoughts original, yet it is a wonder that Anthony Comstock has not given attention to the "Devil's Diary." as h has suppressed many less pernicious books. The Abbey Press, New York. The Grape of AVrntli. This is a story of the war for the Union, covering the movements of the armies in the Fast from the "Wilderness to Appomattox, The historienl events of that period are accurately stated. The story is of. a family which . nad branches in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. The ?0n3 and nephews were on both sides of the struggle. Along with the necessary love story is given a picture of the life of women North and South during the war, which is truthfully and vividly drawn. The book- is written by Mary H. Norris. Small, Maynard & Co., Boston. Tetmeaaee Sketche. A. C. McCIurg & Co., of Chicago, have struck a new and interesting lead by publishing a series of sketches by different writers depicting life in different Southern States. First there was "Northern Georgia Sketches," by Will N. Hardin; then "North Carolina Sketches." by Mary N. Carter, and now we have "Tennessee Sketches," by Louisa I'.. Looney. This volume contains seven short Ktories dealing with life and character among the people of Tennessee. The author is evidently familiar with the region and writes a good story in good literary form. Serious Complication!. The cene of this story is laid in California,' where the" author, Mrs. M. Frances Delanoy, lives. A preface states that she is a partial invalid from a painful accident, but this does not appear in the buoyant spirit and rollicking humor of the story, which has much the atmosphere of a comedy. The illustrations representing characters in the story are evidently taken from life, and probably represent scenes in amateur theatricals. . The pages are rather marred by an excess of italics, which do not serve any particular purpose. New York:. The Abbey Press. Arllne Yalere. This is a pretty story of an old artist who dispensed charity and sunshine wherever he went. The recipients of his kind deeds form an interesting group of characters from real life, and his dealings with them are related with many touches of genuine pat ho. The story carries a strange iomar.ee and has the odd feature of being leproduced in facsimile from the original manuscript, instead ot being printed from type. It is copiously ami amusingly illustrated by tho author. Joseph Hallwoith. Boston: B. C. Page & Co. Ancient I.orrly. This Is a history of the ancient working people from the earliest known period to the adoption of Christianity by Constantine, its object being to prove that socialism is as old as mankind, that labor organizations date almost from the infancy of the human race, and that Christ represented and preached true socialism.

It is a story of the rebellion and is carried forward until Conolel Bryd becomes the last man of the Union cau?e the last of the veterans. The story is about him and h young woman of the South, with whom he fell in love in the usual manm-r set forth in such stories. It is an interesting, if not an absorbing story.

The Southern History Association has its headquarters at Washington, D. C. Spanish art is given considerable attention in the current number of the Magazine of Art (Cassells.) The frontispiece, a fine photogravure, is after a painting by Jose Garcia y Ramos, entitled "A Spanish Courtship." One illustrated article in the number deals with the portraits of Shelley in the National Portrait Gallery. "Sculpture In and Decorative Art in the Salons of ld," "At the Royal Academy in 1U" and "Olir VnHr.Tl'll Ill.nmc- nrwl CTllopinj" or.. subjects of other illustrated papers. The number is especially attractive. Theodore Roosevelt's account of his mountain lion hunt last winter in Colorado will appear in the October and November numbers of Scribner's under the title "With the Cougar Hounds." The heroes of the chase are the intelligent hounds, who are trained to chase the cougar ami lynx inte the trees. A great deal of new information in regard to the cougar is contained, it is said, in the first of these articles, which is a valuable contribution to natural historv. Both articles will be fully illustrated from photographs by Philip K. Stewart, who was one of the hunting party. Stewart was a well-known Yale athlete. The Great Rot n 1 World is a weekly newspaper which supplements the dailies by presenting the important news of the week in clearer perspective and serves either as a periodical of reference or to busy men as a substitute for the daily paper. It is carefully edited and fills :i distinct want. Every fourth issue takes the magazine form and contains soecial matter of much interest. The feature of the current issue is an article bv Sir Robert Hart, director of the Chinese imperial maritime customs, dealing with the much discussed subject of looting by the missionaries. He considers that the missionaries, mentioning Dr. Ament in particular, are free from blame. The Great Round World is published at 150 Fifth avenue New York. Because one is unable to visit foreign art galleries Is no reason for not keeping in touch with what is being done in the art world at home and abroad. The art magazines supply all the Information needed, and their illustrations are only less attractive and interesting. They at least afford an idea of the originals. The September number of the International Studio is full of attractive features, not the least of which Is a series of full-page reproductions of pictures on religious themes exhibited at the Holland Fine Art Gallery, London. The originals are drawings prepared by a number of noted artists for an illustrated Bible now being prepared for publication, and which is evidently to be a remarkable work. The magazine contains several striking color prints.

' The illustrators of Charlton Andrews's novel, "A Parfit Gentle Knight," soon to be isrucd by A. ('. McCIurg & Co., are said to have realized the spirit of the author in an admirable way. Mr. Andrews has chosen lor his romance the period of Charles IX. that king of France whose reign is execrable in history for the m ssacrc of St. Bartholomew, and the struggles of the Huguenots form the basis of the narrative. The f-tory is one of rapid movement and striking Ypisodes, the historical actualities being closely followed throughout. Dr. Arthur T. Pierson, now of Brooklyn, at one time- of Indianapolis, whose religious writings and works have been popular for many years, has prepared a review of the missions ed' the past century, to be published by the Baker Sc Tayler Company, of New York. The book takes up the main events and influences of the past century in the- mission held and considers them as a cycle of divine working. The subject is handle-ei in Dr. Pierson s careful, thorough but fervent spirit, and will no doubt interest the "lovers of world's evangelization," to whom it is dedicated.

Appleton & Co. have sold of Caine's other books 20,Cx.0 copies of "The Christian," FU.oimj copies of "The Manxman." 15.000 copies of "The Deemster." The "Private Life of the Sultan," by Georges Dorys. is announced for immediate publication by the Appletons. Recent events have Imparted a peculiarly timely interest to this book, w hich is said to give a remarkably Intimate insight into the life and character of the Sultan of Turkey. Readers who are no longer young will be interested in the announcement of a new edition of "The Night-Side of Nature." This was. one of the much-talked-of books of half a century ago.' Robert Dale Owen's "Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World" was some ten years later. Both of them anticipated the societies for psychological research and the pseudoscientitic treatment of ghost-stories to which we have lately grown accustomed. Mrs. Crowe's book is a collection of more or less authenticated instances of apparitions, presentiments, prophetic dreams, second-sight, and kindred phenomena. While her attitude was imaginative rather than scie-ntilic, she was discriminating In her acceptance of supposedly-spiritual manifestations, for which she did not attempt to account, but which she related in a way that was impressive. Doctor Hudson, who has written a book on "The Law of Psychic Phenomena'." will furnish a critical introduction to the new edition, which Henry T. Coates & Co. are preparing. Little, Brown it Co. announce for this fall these new books for younger readers: "Brendo's Summer at Hockley," by Helen Leah Reed, author of "Brenda, Her School and Her Club:" "As the Goose Flies." by Katharine Pyle, author of "The Christmas Angtl:" "High School Days in i lKrbortow.n."ia" new book. by.

The Short Story Problem. New York Times. Why is it that the public', which apparently delights in short .stories when presented in magazines, gives them scant notice when republished in books? The answer is simple. The ten-cent magazine has killed the volume 0f short stories as a commercial commodity. For 20 or 40 cents one can buy ten or twelve new stories in ten-cent magazines, while one has to pay ?1..", at least, for the same number of old unos in book form. Let the price of the volume ed" short Mories be no reduced that it can compete with two or three ten-cent magazines; let it be bound in paper covers and sold for a quarter or 35 cents, and the trouble of which Mr. Ho wells complains would be removed. Many a tiresome journey would be lightened if the casual purchaser of a volume of short stories did not feel in eiuty bound to preserve the book for his library, just because it containeel the portrait of his favorite author, because it was prettily bound, because the deckel edges gave it the appearance of elegance, or more especially because he had been obliged to spend as much for it as would have supplied him with ten-cent magazines for half a dozen similar journeys. HookN Otnel nn el Ilookx Borrowed. W. D. How ells, in Harper's Magazine. The way to health is through the ownership of the books w read, and books ere now so cheap that hardly any one who really lo a s them ne-ed deny himself the fine rapture ed' feeling them his. A book borrowed, whether from a public or a private source-, is always a burden. You must think about returning it, under penalty of money or re niorse. But a book bought is a liberation of the soul from all sordid anxieties concerning it, and an enlargement of the mind such as a borrowed book can never be. If you borrow books you are in danger ed' borrowing more than you can read; but you are never In danger of buying more books than you can read, unless you buy them for show, in which case you cannot re-ally own them: f r there is this peculiarity in the ownership of books, that the purchase is not completed till you have read tlum.

IN PK K P A HAT ION MISS PETTICOATS. THE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT STATEMHMS fiATHCnCD FROM ItKTIRMG IJl2LK(i ATES. Ilont of the Ttnillrnl lIeoient CompleteThe Organization In C'onervutive Ilmul. The terrible tragedy at Buffalo detracted attention from all other matters of public interest, including the meeting of the National Encampment of the Grand Army in Cleveland. Members of the encampment who have returned, however, give such accounts of it that it is very evident that it was one of the most Important sessions of the national body, that was ever held. Interviews with several delegates who have returned and who spoke freely make it very clear that Commander-in-chief Rassleur was so fully in sympathy with the Corporal Tanner element that he practically pave its members the full right of way and would scarcely recognize any other comrade. General Sickles, who in interviews and letters raised a question of veracity between himself and the dead President, was given the opportunity to read a long paper assailing the Pension Bureau which was practically an attack upon the appointing power, though he was careful to declare that the late President was in no way responsible, a statement which conflicts with his letters and interviews two months ago. General Hawley had the opportunity as the eldest officer of the National Encampment to respond to General Sickles. While criticising to some extent the conduct of Commissioner Evans, he declared that the Grand Army could not afford as a patriotic organization to take the advice of the commander-in-chief and the minority of the pension committee to carry the matter to the President. Toward the close of the session General Wagner attempted to obtain recognition to ask that the committee on resolutions selected by the several delegations be announced so that it coukl proceed to its work, but it was apparent that Mr. Rassieur and the minority in favor of his extreme policy did not wish that a committee of one from each State selected by state delegations should present resolutions expressing the sentiment of the encampment, so he adjourned the meeting at 5 o'clock without a committee on resolutions, an act without precedent. As General Sickles was et readjng his lonfr statement in eupport of the minority report of the pension committee when" the commander-in-chief adjourned the session he would have had the lioor in the morning. PREPARED FOR STRUGGLE. The prominent members of the conservative element had prepared for a struggle over the report of the committee on pensions Friday morning; but Friday morning brought the shocking news of the condition of the President, whereupon the past commander-in-chief and a few others who have saved the organization by conservative action held a hasty conference and agreed to support a resolution to the effect that the encampment elect offlcers and rtter all other, matters to the commander-in-chief-elect and the new council of administration. General Wagner, of Pennsylvania, was recognized and he presented the resolution. Past Department Commander James E. Dodge, of Indiana, had been selected to second the resolution, which he did In a few appropriate words and with a voice which filled tne hall. The resolution was adopted by an overwhelminc J vote. U hen it came to the election of commander-in-chief the ultra element had lost courage and the. name of Gen. Sicklia was withdrawn a confession of the Tanner element that it had lost the battle which was begun with so much noise outside and with such vigor in the first sessions of the encampment. Indeed the fact that the New YorK delegation refused to sustain the candidacy of General Sickles the night before by a vote of 27 to 18 must have made it clear that he would be defeated in the encampment. Two candidates remained. Stuart of Pennsylvania, and Torrence, dark horse of Minnesota. While General Stewart had a strong support because of his popularity as adjutant general, he was confronted with the fact of a very brief term of service. It was not his fault. As a boy he had run away twice to enlist and was taken home by his father On the other hand. Comrade Torrence has a record in a Pennsylvania regiment of four years as an enlisted man and officer The Indiana delegation went to Cleveland decidedly in favor of Stewart but when the ballot was taken it stood 19 for Torrence and 11 for Stewart. The total vote was light because the alarming ntws from Buffalo was so distracting that many delegates were not present when the ballot was taken. Four prominent members of the Indiana delegation gave it separate'- as their opinion that if General Sickles had stayed in for a ballot that he would not have received '2C0 votes one member putting the number at COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION. The new council of administration, to which all the affairs of the encampment were referred, went into session Friday afternoon. Captain William H. Armstrong being re-elected for Indiana. All of the business was disposed of. The pension matter was referred to Commander-in-chief Torrence and the pension committee which he will appoint. It is believed by those who talked with him that he may see the President about the matter. The delegates seen all say that the real opposition to the cumndss'oner of pensions is much stronger than represented by the Tanner element, but the conservative element would not approve the policy pursued by Gen. Sickles. All the returing members of the encampment, several of whom have known Commander-in-chief Torrence for years, speak in the highest terms of him and preliet a conservative and dignified administration of the affairs of the organization. IndianaH)lis Grand Army men who attended the encampment express themselves as highly pleased with the hospitality ed the pceple of Cleveland. MARCH OF TWENTY-FIVE MILES.
