Molly Is a sensible girl, but falls a victim to the revenge of Samuel Sample, a young man who hud been caught making love to Molly and had been severely cudglesd by the wrathy captain for his temerity. Bamuel concocted a plot which had for Us objects the marriage of Molly to a disreputable gambler named Lord Flyingdale and the wasting of the girl's millions. But for Lady Anastasia, his lordship's miwtress, Semple would have succeeded In his first object as well as he did in his second. By disguising herself as Molly and forging the girl's signature her ladyship married Lord Flyingdale, and the marriage Is legally recorded. After the denouement her ladyship Is bribed into keeping her part in the aftalr secret. Lord Flyingdale claimed Molly es his bride, but the latter declined to acknowledge the roue as her husband. Th plot had been so skillfully woven, however, that Molly sets her pretended husband take charge of her property and squander It without stint. Finally, when Molly's millions have vanished Lady Anastasia confesses her part in the conspiracy and Molly is legally freed of a husband she never accepted. She then marries John Pentecrosse. captain of the Lady of Lynn, the playmate of her youth, who unraveled the web of conspiracy into which she had fallen. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. nack to the Soil. This is a story designed by the author to show how the congested spots In cities occupied by the very poor can be relieved by forming theso people into colonies and planting: them on the abandoned farms of the East or the cheap lands of the West. A capitalist is interested and a tract of several hundred acres lj purchased and bo plotted that the cottages which have been built will make a village. A mixture of races takes part in the scheme and a selfsupporting colony Is planted on the soil, the former denizens of the slums kindly leaving; behind them all of their thriftless ways and viclouj lives. Edward Everett Hale has written nn Introduction to the book which is readable In itself. Unfortunately the story is a conception of what might be and not the history of a successful experiment. If it were the latter, the problem of the redemption of "the submersed tenth" would be solved. The author is Bradley Gilman, connected with the associated charities of Boston. His friends regard the book as a valuable contribution to sociological work. L. C. Page & Company, Boston. Her Washington Experiences. This story by Anna Farquhar appeared originally In the Ladles Home Journal under the title of "The Inner Experiences of a Cabinet Minister's Wife," and is now produced In book form by L. C. Page & Company, Boston. It can only be called a story by courtesy, for It has not the story form and has next to no plot or action. It i cast in an epistolary form, there being Bomo nineteen letters purporting to be written by the wife of a new Cabinet minister to a sister somewhere "out West," relating tho writer's social experiences at the national capital. The book may interest two classes of readers those who know nothing whatever of Washington society and those who do know something" of it. The former may be Interested in reading what purports to be a correct portrayal of society at the capital, and the latter will certainly be interested in noting its titter lack of verisimilitude. It is a caricature of the most superficial features of life at any capital, and its occasional references to actual conditions could easily have been obtained second hand or got out of a guide book. Mifttre Barbara. This is a tory of love and war. The love Is of the usual kind, warm and persistent, but the war Is not one of deadly weapons, but of trade and competition in manufacturing pursuits. The scene is laid In Yorkshire, amid the woolen mills many yars ago. and part of the action of the story grows out of a strike of th factory hands. Barbara, the heroine and the descendant of a proud old house, has two suitor?, one a young mill owner who had known her from childhood, and the other a parvenu gentleman whose love is not unselfish. The love story is all the more pleasing from its contrast with the stres und strife of business interests. A number cf original minor characters are introduced, and the story is all the more entertaining because it Ia an abrupt departure from the historical fiction with which the public i beginning to cloy.

This first novel -by Suzanne Antrobus is a romance of old New Orleans at the beginning of the eighteenth century, when Louisiana, was a French colony. -It Is a tale of love and intrigue, in which Madame Jeanne Poehe, the King s messenger, is the heroin1. Kstranged from lur husband in France, she arrives in New Orleans with a secret packet Irom the King, which she learns carries danger, perhaps death, to the man with whom she has fallen in love.

As clever and original a story as this one by Helen Pomery deserved an entirely original title, but that was the author s affair. The story relates the experiences of an Fngllsh family who, having gone to South America on business, were left a tract of land in a gold-mining region far in the interior and set out through unexplored regions to locate it. The party consisted of a father and mother, four children, two boys and two girls, and a dog. and the story of their experiences and adventures is an interesting one especially for young readers.

Its heroine is a little Southern girl, and it deals with her childhood love affairs a fruitful theme, by the way. for a student of child life. Jaconetta's affections were tirst enlisted for a blacksmith, then for a succession of men und boys, and they had charming frankness and Inn jence. The story is prettily told and gives glimpses of the generous hospitality of old Southern families and of social conditions before the war. Boston: Houghton. M-.tlln .v Co. Lincoln In Story.

Ami considering the efforts put forth by ?vfh magazln to increase its circulation in its chosen field, and con5Ct;i:ent linancL.l protit. Is it any wonder that the editors str-in ?very nerve In the effort to M-cure. the very best of literature by unknown as well as by distinguished authois? And htr agnln, cornes in the piestion of the unknown writer. You may accept it as a. fact upon the word of one who knows what he is aing that sf to-day you send a great potm or u brilliant story to any one of the leading magazines it will have twenty times as cordial a welcome as if it were scented from th tr.ost famous author in tho laDKUaee. Why? Simply because a great poem or a btifllant Mory by a wholly unkt'ovvn writer reveals a new star ! the world. It commands instant attention and adds immeasurably to the magazine's prestige. And let another fact sink deep into your uiti.ti. If you hive a great poem or a bnüiant stcry published in even a comparatively unimportant periodical, you med nt far that it will go unnoticed. On the contrary, it Mll be brought to tip- cotisiJ-

eration of all the magazine editors in the country by members of the staffs who are paid salaries simply for the work of discovering new authors in other publications. And you will be surpried to see how soon you receive invitations to contribute elsewhere. 1 he disputed auction as to whether unsolicited manuscripts are examined by the great magazines is almost too absurd to merit consideration. But for the sake of doubting literary aspirants let it be said emphatically that no well-conducted periodical ever returns a manuscript without sufficient examination to prove its availability. The very drudgery of wading through miles and miles of utterly useless manuscript is what has caused mere than one, yes, more than a score, of highly distinguished literary men to resign editorial positions. And the editor who failed to have unsolicited manuscripts examined would very quickly be asked for his resignation. As to rivalry among distinguished authors, as to the nonsensical idea of a "ring" whose purpose is. to discourage new talent, perhaps a single incident may enlighten the suspicious. While this rambling paper was in course of preparation yesterday morning, to be exactthe writer was walking through the Grand Central Railroad station in NewYork chatting with the editor of a literary magazine, when one of the oldest and most widely recognized American poets came hurrying up. and asked the editor if he had read a story by a new man in a recent number of a 10-cent periodical. "Yes," said the editor, "and I intend to find out who he is." "Come along, then." said the poet, starting down Fourth avenue, "and I'll walk down to your office with you. As soon as 1 had read that story I made Inquiries, and I find it Is practically a first attempt. The young man has done a fine thing, and I'm delighted to be able to tell you about him!" And off they went, the editor listening attentively and the dear, generous-hearted poet full of enthusiasm at helping a worthy new author on his way to success. They made a pretty picture and one which was significant. Seton-Thompson's Early Struggles. The Critic. "I first came to New York in 1SS3," said Mr. Seton-Thompson, "but could not stick it out for two years. I hadn't a cent in my pocket, and for days I tramped around the town trying to get something to do, anything to keep from starving. At last, by chance, I wandered into a lithographer's and asked him for a job. On the strength of my drawings he said he would try me, and asked me what pay I wanted. I was ready to take $10 a week, but I boldly demanded $W. The result was that he employed me as a lithographer at $13 a week. One day, several months later, by accident I overheard a Jew customer say to him: 'If I could get a goot raven, I t'ink 1 could made ten t'ousand.' As soon as he had left 1 went to the properietor and told him I had heard what the Jew had said and that I wanted him to let me make the drawing. 'Why, what do you know about ravens'." he said. 'Never mind.' I replied; 'you let me try and I'll show you.' Perhaps something in my manner impressed him with the idea that I knew what I was talking about; at all events, he told me to go ahead and try, and I went out to Central Park and drew one of the ravens. The Jew was delighted with it, and on the strenget! of this success I struck my boss for a raise of salary. 'Don't you think I'm worth $00 a week to you now?' I asked him. 'I have shown that I can do what your high-priced artists can't do, and yet you want to keep me on $15 a week.' At last, after a lot of hemming and hawing, he agreed to come up to $23 a, week, but most unwillingly. For several months longer I worked on under this arrangement, and then I told him I must have another increase. He refused; so I said I would quit. When he saw I was reallv in earnest he offered to make it $2"). but 1 stuck to what I had said, and pulled out for the West, feeling as though I never wanted to see the placse again. Hut two years later I was back once more: this time, however, at the instigation of the Centurv Companv, as they wanted me to make bird drawings for the dictionary." The 13 ok ami the Manuscript.

The rapid decline of the native population of the Aleutian chain of inlands is told in a report just received by Ihe Marine Hospital Service front F. J. Thornbury, Its assistant surgeon at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The report saya that formerly there were liti villages on the islands with a native population vuiiously estimated at from l.o") to :,50O. Now in the same district there are only ten villages and I JA J inhabitants, exclusive ot whites, of whom 00 are Creoles (mixed breeds witn Itussians and other nationalities an.l ;oo Aleutians. Tne report says: "Last year Unalaska had 351 inhabitants, IK or learlv one-third, of whom died. According to lata obtained from the Russian priest of the Greek Catholic Church, the Kev. 11. P. Kashereroff. who has the only mortality records kept in the village, there being no health officer or even physician, thirty deaths were ascribed to 'cold,' twenty-four to consumption, thirty-three to measles. -even to old age and rive were drowned. The remarkable mortality from measles among the natives in Alaska during the ast years appears ascribable largely to he bad sanitary environment and lack of precaution against exposure. "On the Kuskokwi and in other sections on the mainland, from one-half to twothirds of the natives died and many were left unburied in mud houses where thej: lived, surviving members immediately deserting the huts, which latter often contain from one to two dozen natives living re;ardless of family relations. As many as half a dozen dead bodies have been seen by prospectors in a single hovel and numerous dend bodies were seen lying about on the ground partly eaten by the foxes. There re numerous Instances of whole villages being deserted, the few surviving natives having a superstition about staying where t-o many of their number had died." .Mot Northerly Postolllee.

niCIIMQNIl I'llOSPHHING. Change in Street-Hallway Ownership llenefltiiifi: the City. Special to th$ Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 6. The present year is proving one of the most prosperous in the history of this city. Several things have combined to mak it to. One of the most important is the acquiring of the street-car property by the Murdocks, resulting In the complete reorganization of the company'and the expenditure of many thousands of dollars. The lines have been relaid and extended and Richmond and Centervllle are now connected. A splendid power house is under construction, and as soon as it is completed the line to the west will be put in operation. The company also has built handsome new ofllccs and barns. The Cincinnati. Richmond fc Muncie Railroad Company has been another contributor to the prosperous condition. Two handsome passenger depots have been built, in addition to the construction of the track, bridges and freight depot and other buildings. The Panhandle Company has begun the construction of a new depot that probably will call for the expenditure of $tjO.u0, and two additional traction companies seem certain to build in. To add to this, there has been much general building. Labor Is scarce, and an urgent call Is now bting made for it through the daily papers. It is believed here that Richmond has entered upon the greatest era in her existence, and that her future growth will be very rapid. Dank Cnses In Court. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

OUTRAGE ON A STUDENT FNTICHD FROM HIS ROOM, STHIPPFD OP ALL CLOTIIIX, Forced to Walk Ahead of Htovllng Youths and ills Steps Hastened by Application of Switches. BELOIT, Wis.. Oct. 6. George F. Stockwell, a Etudent in the preparatory department of Beloit College, was enticed from his room at the house of President Eaton at an early hour this morning by members of the middle preparatory class. He was overpowered, divested of every article of clothing and compelled to walk ahead of a score of howling students, aided by the application of switches in the hands of his tormentors. His clothing was fastened to the top of a Mag pole and after he had been sufficiently "disciplined" he was allowed to go home to plan revenge. The outrage is the climax of a number of class lights this year, in which the worst punishment inflicted heretofore was compelling students to walk into town after having been driven far into the country. The faculty will probably take no action on this morning's occurence, owing to the fact that the perpetrators of the deed are unknown, and the members of Stockwell's class have taken matters in their own hands. Stockwell lives in Cherry Valley, 111., and has no enemies in the school. i:itLiiM colli:;h aotes. Wlint Weiulier of Ihe- I.nst CiratluntiiiK (lass Are Doing:. special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Catarrh Tho causo exists in tho blood, in what causes inflammation of the mucous membrane. It is therefore impossible to euro the disease by local applications. It is positively dangerous to neglect it, because it always affects the stomach and deranges the general health, and is likely to develop into consumption. Many have been radically and permanently cured by Hood's Sarsaparille. It cleanses the blood and has a peculiar alterative and tonic effect. R, Long. California Junction lo-vra, writes: I had catarrh three years. lo?t my appetite and could not sleep. My head pained me and I felt bad all over. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla and now have a rood appetit, sleep well, and have no symptoms of catarrh." Hood's Sarsaparilla Promises to cure and 'keeps the promise. It is better not to put oil treatment buy Hood's today.

Major Morris C. Foote, of the Ninth United States Infantry, who has returned here from the Island of Samar, was In llalanglga the day heforo in disaster to Company C. He says that Capt. Connell had been fully warned and had taken wh&t he (Major Foote) considered every necessary precaution. Information that a plot was brewing among the Filipinos came to Major Foote from a priot, who said it was in the plans of the populace at both Halangiga and Hasey to attack the garrisons, and that ehe Hasey garrison was to be attacked from a cockpit in the rear of the barracks. Orders were immediately given to demolish the cockpit, and extra guards were stationed. I he re is intense leeling throughout the army because of the massacre, whlih would not Ik; the cape to any puch extent had it been the work of ordinary Insurgents. The latter might have been expected to commit such an outrage. Feeling is particularly intense in military circles because the authors of the massacre were paclrtcos, n:ost of whom had taken the oalh of allegiance and many of whom, including the president of Balangiga, were actually holding office. Some of the after fleets a'-e nlreadjr shown at points, particularly at liaulaa and Caloocan, in the province of Ilatangas and Manila, where disaffection is manifesting itself, although It is not likely to be allowed to go far. On Fi other hand, the officers and troops at all ol the garrisons throughout the archipelago feel tlnit the disaster conveys a lesson to themselve s of the necessity for increased vigilance. Considerahle interest attaches to the case of Oakley Brooks, a military prisoner ordered to be deported. The Supreme Court recently issued a writ of habeas corpus directing the production of the prisoner, but the military authorities refused to produce him on the ground that the o:dy tribunal having jurisdiction of a military prisoner is the Federal Court, while the Philippine courts were established t-y the war powers of the President, and military authorities contenl that they are to be regarded as provost courts until Congress has acted. The members of the Fupreme Court and a majority of the members of the Philippine hoM opposite view., but it is understood that the attorney general believes the military contention to be correct. General Chaffee, discussing the matter to-day. said: "I am most desirous to sustain the civil courts in every possible way. "out I tell that it would le very unwise in the existing circumstances to allow the civil courts to interfere in military affairs as It Is occasionally necessary for Ihe military authorities to act in cas1 where it would be unwise, in th interest, of the government, to make public r.t the time the reasons for acting. Should th claim now made by the civil courts be allowed, it would b disastrous to the inrhitr.ee of the army in the island. Fve ry prisoner sentenced by a military commission would hav recourse to nabeas ccrpu- proceeding, l'ven Howard Ohe allegd lese rter) is awaiting the decision in tili case in order to try and secure his own re h aso by a writ of habeas corpus.""

Speakiry of the conditions in the Philippines, he said: "Peace has be n practically it stored. There is still a little Insurre ti.n in S.iin.ir. but aside from that everything Is tab ly quiet. I do not believe1, howev r. that tho retention of the islands will be proiita t:e. as the governm-nt will have t p nd & great deal of money on them, even in times of peace.
