The book has a number of pleasing Illustrations by Clyde O. De Land, the studies being accurate portrayals of old-time Interiors and costumes. The volume, which Is typographically handsome. Is published by the Macmlllan Company, New York. Sons of the Revolution In Indiana. "The Book of the Sons of the Revolution In Indiana" Is a handsome volume just Issued by the society In this State. It was compiled by William Allen Wood, who has been elected to the presidency of the society for next year. Besides matter directly relating to Indiana und the local membership, Charles W. Eliot's essay on "Family Stocks In a Democracy," E. J. Edwards's article on "The Harrison Family," and Cyrus Townsend Brady's story of "George Hogers Clark and the Great Northwest" are Included. The book contains the most complete bibliography of George Rogers Clark, and his connectlou with the conquest of the Northwest Territory that has ever ben published. Had the last Legislature bad the ue of this, much labor on the Clark question would have been saved. It catalogues a hundred and sixty books, magazines and newspapers that treat of these matters, indicating that forty-eight of the books and documents are In the Indianapolis Public Ubrary, and suggesting that many of the others may be seen at the State Library. Besides these, over seventy statutes, reports of committees and other official documents relating in some degree to Clark and his men are also catalogued. Comprehensive accounts of the organization and work of the General Society of Sons of the Revolution, and of the Indiana Society are given. It Is asserted that "the spirit of the society is not to differentiate Its members from society at large, but to be useful In a patriotic way and to preserve to Its members all those advantages which belong to old families and long lines of descent, with the qualities that give those advantages. The society's social motive Is to preserve and cultivate in its members those refinement and forces of character that have distinguished the best people of all times and all nations." The essay on tho Harrison family seems to have been printed to support the editor's position that courage, honet?ty aud true manhood may be perpetuated for many generations, and that family stocks should engage a larger share Of ur attention. Extracts from a sermon by the Rev. Allan B. Phllputt on the genius of Washington, and from a sermon by the Rev. Lewi Brown oa American ideals In 1773 and VM2 are also included. An alphabetical roll of the members of the Indiana Society, with a brief statement of the services of the ancestor or ancestors through whom each member derives title to membership, is followed by an alphabetical list of the ancestors whoso descendants belong to the Miciety. It appear? that out of acceptors catalogued, only twelve have mere than one descendant each, belonging to the Son. Of th original States. Pennsylvania furnished ancestors for th greater number of the Sns, Virginia, Connecticut end Massachusetts coming next lrv the order named. One ancestor enllted from Kentucky, and on from Canada. The book is handsomely printed on edition de luxe paper with uncut vdRes. and Is illustrated with numerous excellent cuts on enamel paper. The binding for members 1 fine leather, and that for library ue Is blue cloth. The Joyous Hrnrt. Here is a novel by Viola Rot-eboro, that breathes and vibrates in an atmosphere of love.

J only In love," and so when her young husband Is killed In an accident, after a short but blissful maried life. Amy Carruthers (the mother) "turned her haunting eye3 from the light and refused to live." Vella, the little daughter, grows up somehow until she comes under the guardianship of Cousin Anne, who "moved unanswered In her own orbit, and whose life was like an insect's and yet there was a high firmness In it" whatever that may mean. Vella; after some sort of education, comes back to live in the old Southern homestead, where Cousin Anne holds full sway, and where she renews the acquaintance with Cousin Elmore and Cousin Tommy. In course of time Cousin Elmore marries Vella and Is a good enough husband as husbands go until he becomes Jealous of one Andrew Lea, who Is an old friend of Vella's childhood. One day, after an uncomfortable scene with Elmore, all on account of "Andy," as they call him, Vella says to her husband: "You shame me. It stabs me to see you're so petty and silly and low." She spoke "da haut en baus," the author tells us, and her "superiority's lash lay In Its terrible unconscious sincerity." The civil war broke out and "around them all coiled the great hostile armies that had enmeshed these little lives In their great struggle." After one of the fierce battles. Vella Is called upon to open her home as a temporary hospital, and naturally becomes interested In her patients. Elmore, ever on the alert to harrow up hifi heart, sneaks home without a furlough and surprises Vella In the family graveyard holding what his perverted mind suspects to be a clandestine meeting with an abhorred Yankee soldier, but what is really nothing more than an Innocent desire on Vella's part to tell the soldier her mother's love story and to show him her mother's grave. When Elmore finds that he cannot kill the other man "because the woman intervened," he presses his revolver against his own heart and fires. Vella gets bravely over the shock of her husband's tragic death and falls in love with Andy Lea. She had been secretly loving Andy all along, but now she does not attempt to check this passion. She finally marries Andy, only to discover, Just before a child Is born to her, that .her new husband and her cousin Fanny had once been ardent lovers and that Fanny loves Andy Just as much as ever. Vella is overcome, and. having inherited her mother's good luck as to the facility of passing away at will and without physical pain, she turns her face to the wall and expires with these words upon her lips, "Ich bab gelebt und gelelbet. Das 1st genug." McClure, Phillips & Co., have seen fit to publish the book and in a very attractive manner, too. The Heart of Japan. Mr. Clarence Ludlow Brownell, fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and member of the Japanese Society of London, tells in this book of life that is obscured" from the view of the occasional and superficial traveler In the "land of the rising sun." The author is apt and vigorous in relating his story, and while learned, Is in no sense labored. His description of the geisha is characteristic: "The mission of the geisha is to make life merry. Her whole education Is to that end. She can dance and sing and play on all sorts of instruments; she knows the best stories and the latest Jokes; she Is. quick at repartee; the games she does not know arethose that have not been Invented. She is as graceful and frolicsome as a kitten, her manners are exquisite and she is as beautiful as well, as beautiful as a geisha. Only dead folk can withstand her charms, and It is doubtful about them. Her mirth is the best of tonics. It will mend one when anything alls the health. She cures everything, that is to say, but disease of the heart. These the geisha has been known to aggravate. In truth, she doesn't need more than half a chance to put a heart in a terrible way." Then follows a description of the geisha's person and habits. Concerning Japanese actors, the author says, "I believe there are no better equipped actors in the world to-day than those found on the Japaneso board.-. It Is a pity they cannot be prevail?! upon to make a foreign tour. Their versatility is marvelous. They play comedy, tragedy and farce In either male or female parts with equal facility and happiness. Until recently the upper classes kept away from the theaters, or went there only in disguise. To-day distinguished actors are received in the homes of people of noble rank. The Japanese. theater 13 the only place left in which one can study the ways of old Japan." The book Is Interesting throughout, and it gives one of the most intimate accounts of the life of the Japanese that is accessible to English readers. McClure. Phillips & Co., New York. The Mills of Man. "The Mills of Man," by Philip Payne, is a somewhat hysterical but forceful attack on all the conventionalities. It purports to be a story of the political campaign of 14 in Illinois and deals familiarly with Chicago, Kankakee, Egypt and other real places. The story is well told, but it strikes the reader as coming half a dozen years too late or fifty years too soon. The freesllver tide that was swelling In ISDt has ebbed too far for the ordinary reader to thrill with the evident faith of the author In its ultimate triumph over thedesplsed partisans of gold. And It is too soou for antiquarian research into its origin and effects. But some of the doctrines of the book have more than a passing application. The author's text U contained in his description of Chris, the reporter, and his fail ure as principal of a public school: "lie was patient, kind, thorough in his Instruction. Just in his administration and to the teachers under him. But such virtues were not enough. lie did not understand that to perform one's

duty Is by no means all the game. lie was natively simple that he supposed he could best fulfill his function by telling the truth and trusting each man as a man." The- "pure, upright" statesman (of the Republican party) who had served for a generation In the United States Senate proves a whited sepulchre. The "gold" nominee for Governor a traitor to hl3 friends. The real heroine of the book is a young woman who has "fallen" in early life, has recovered herself but refuses to repent and before whom her lover, after a fierce battle with himself, "bowed his head as In a reverent acceptance of a spirit nobler than all the Magdalenes that ever wept." The conclusion is that "the gentlemanly Jurist was become an anachronism to-day: Mcliride the ward boss, and Ransome the Silver Republican, were the realities. Buggies, for one. did not protest." Two rather interesting love stories run through the book; Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago and New York. AVlio's Who In America. Few books of reference are In more frequent demand in newspaper offices than this compilation of brief biograpnies, "Who's "Who in America." What is true in a nwespaper office must also be the case in public libraries, where personal information about men and women distinguished in some line of work is so often desired. The usefulness of the book, too, in private libraries is hardly to be overestimated. It is a record of living and active people, in this respect differing from the ordinary biographical dictionary which admits only those who have passed to another stage of existence. One of its most valuable features is tho postoffice addresses given in connection with the biographies. This is the third edition of the publication and contains 4.0U0 new names, making a total of 14.443. and the number of pages has been increased from 1.3U0 to over l.two. The names, it is said, more equally represent the various achievements of the country and reflect more Justly its material and intellectual F regress than did those in the 1901 edition, n the first volume partiality was shown to literary and professional men, but in this an effort has been made to secure the biographies of capitalists, manufacturers and other business. Curiously enough, this work

has been especialy difficult, this class of men being reluctant to say anything about themselves. They suspect some trick or ulterior design on the part of the applicant for information. One man, as related in an entertaining preface to the volume, wrote them: "I have your book and I find it very useful. I gladly return you blank filled out and I am sorry I did not answer you two years ago; but the fact Is, I thought you wanted to pull my leg." This volume, which is very carefully edited, contains, besides the 14,443 biographies of the people who are before the public in one way or another, some new features, as a chapter of educational statistics, another of age statistics and another of marriage statistics. The necrology, showing the names of prominent men and women who have died since the publication of the last volume, is useful. With all the information it contains the volume is not overbulky, but is of convenient size. New editions are brought out every two years, and this is labeled 1903-1905. The work Is published by A. N. Marquis & Co., Chicago. Its price is 3.50. The Lightning; Conductor. This story bears as Its subtitle, "The Strange Adventures of a Motor Car," and Is written in the form of letters, some of them indited by the sprightly young woman who Is the chief figure of the tale, the others by her chauffeur. This young wom an, Molly Randolph by name, is an Ameri can traveling in Europe under the nominal chaperonage of her aunt, but it is the girl and not the aunt who Is the directing force. She takes it into her pretty head to travel by automobile and forthwith buys one of the vehicles, being badly swindled in the operation. The "strange adventures' of her motor car and herself take place in France, and her chauffeur, her "lightning conductor," who is really much more than a chauffeur. Is an active participant. It is, in fact, an automobile love story, and romance, automobile lore and descriptions of historic French chateaux are mingled in an altogether pleasing way in the letters of the girl to her father and those of the chauffeur to his friend. The characteristics of the American girl accustomed to having her own way, her independence and selfpossession, her innocence and dignity, are cleverly portrayed. The story is light, gay and entertaining, and the bits of accurate history and description scattered through should give it something of the value of a guide book to travelers making a tour over the same ground. It Is Just the sort of a novel that meets the requirements of a great number of fiction readers a pleasant story well told, and making no strong demands on sympathies or emotions. Its first edition was published some time since and the book has already made its own way into popularity. It is "edited" by C. N. and A. M. Williamson, and published by Henry Holt & Co., New York. Ireland and Her Story. Few men of this time have won fame in more diverse lines or developed greater versatility as novelist. Journalist, statesman and historian than Justin McCarthy. His novels, historic and biographical works would fill a large shelf in a library and without a dull page In any of them. A native of Ireland, for many years chairman of the Irish Parliamentary party and thoroughly conversant with Irish history, he is peculiarly well qualified to write on that subject. "Ireland and Her Story" is not so much a detailed history of the island as it is an account of the struggles of the Irish people for liberty, their suffering from official corruption and their persecution by religious intolerance from the earliest down to recent times. The work bears to comprehensive general history somewhat tho same relation that the short story does to the extended novel, for it gives in comparatively few graphic pages a birds-eye view of what, if extended, would fill volumes. Even the cursory reader of the book will gain from its perusal a clear conception of the social and political evolution of the Irish nation and of the causes of the long-continued friction between them and the British government and people. The author has shown rare skill in seizing upon the salient point? and features of his subject and grouping them in such a way as to make a narrative at - once condensed and comprehensive. Though written by an Irishman the book is conspicuously free from partisan spirit and can be read with profit by all who desire to be Informed concerning the subject of which it treats. New York, Funk & WagnalU Company. Little Masterpieces of Science. This is the golden age of science, a time of creative energy and great activity among inventors, discoverers and scientists. Popular knowledge of what science has accomplished is an important factor of progress, and, by a sort of reaction, encourages scientists In their work. To promote such knowledge is the object of "Little Masterpieces of Science." edited by George lies and published by Doubleday, Page & Co., New York. The work consists of six volumes of handy size, each one devoted to a special field or branch of science as narrated by an expert in that field. Volume I of the series treats of the skies and the earth, and contains chapters by Richard A. Proctor on "What We Learn from tho Sun;" by Simon Newcomb on "The Problems of Astronomy;" by Charles A. Young on "The Astronomical Outlook;" by George lies on "The Photographv of the Skies;" by Sir Charles Lyell on "Uniformity n Geological Change;" by Nathaniel S ShaJer on "Rivers and Valleys;" by Thomas II. Huxley on "The Sea and Its Work," and another by Huxley on "Earthquakes and Volcanoes." The other volumes are entitled, respectively, "Invention and Discovery," "The Naturalist," "Explorers," "Health and Healing" and "The Mind," and the plan of treatment is the same throughout, consisting of chapters on special topics by well-known masters of the subject. The six volumes take a wide sweep in the field of science, and are a valuable compendium of scientific knowledge In popular form. Their value for general readers is increased by the fact that they are entirely free from technical terms. The Hnrkrlders. Opie Bead tells his stories with such spirit and humor that he has taken a great hold on the popular taste. Moreover, his books are harmless. "The Harkriders" is an attractively told story, even if not a literary gem. The scene of the story I? laid in Virginia of the present day. Some characters with which one is familiar, the Colonel and the Major, friendly cousins, traverse again his pages. Beverly Harkrider, a nephew of the Colonel, is in love with Augusta Thompson, and these two are representative of Southern lovers of to-day. Dominion is an artistocratic. philosophical and Impudent colored gentleman Eight or ten more or less distinctively Southern types complete a gToup which saves Mr. Beed opportunity to keen going

a lively performance. A vivid description of a fox hunt is one of the features of the story. Those who like a minor chord played on their heart-strings will be touched by a bit of rathos at the beginning of the story. The triple romantic element will rleasc the sentimental. The book is. in a way. a three-ring circus. Laird & Lee, Chicago. The "VIiik of Morning?. This is the Inviting title of a new book by Louis Tracy. On the wings of the morning the reader is borne to the South China sea, where he witnesses the struggle of a modern steamer in a violent typhoon and sees it finally wrecked on an uninhabited island. The hero and heroine of the tale are miraculously saved, but are compelled to undergo a series of thrilling adventures, including a fight with a devil fish, and several fierce encounters with a tribe of savage Dyaks from neighboring islands. A villain also figures in the story, but he is properly discomfited. Tho hero and heroine are types of the best in English life, both fearless in time of danger and enduring hardships uncomplainingly; and there are certainly enough of the latter to keep the reader alert for the outcome. The situations are at times slightly overdrawn, and some of the feats of strength performed would do credit to several heroes at once, but this can be overlooked in view of the entertainment the story affords. Edward J. Clode, 136 Fifth avenue. New York.

An Apache Princess. Gen. Charles King continues to turn out army tales at the rate of about two a year. The latest from his by no means unskillful pen is "An Apache Princess," a story of army post life In the days of the strenuous campaign against the Arizona Apaches. While General King's books for the past few years have shown a certain inferiority to the "Captain Blake" series, which pleased a former generation of his readers, thero is yet enough blood and bones about them to stave off deadly dullness. "An Apache Princess," like the most of the King stories, is a tangled web of circumstances, in which is caught for a time the dashing young hero, Lieut. Nell Blakely. His vindication from the charge of being a "staff pet," a "gilded Incompetent," as well us the charge of absolute villainy, is cleverly worked out. An interesting love story i3 intertwined with the stirring chronicle of Apache fighting. George Hobart Company, New York. To California and Back. C. A. Iliggins has written a book of practical information for travelers to the Pacific. The route Mr. Illgigns follows is from Chicago, through Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, to which he devotes one chapter. Then he describes more in detail New Mexico and Arizona, and gets weil into the body of the book with a description of southern and central California. Then he begins with San Francisco and brings the traveler home by way of Nevada, Utah and Colorado. An appendix contains information about side trips and a glossary of Spanish names and their pronunciation. The book has many illustrations, which aro nearly all unattractive. The best feature of the book is the way it gets over the ground, avoiding the detailed descriptions and too laudatory remarks on the sights to be seen. On this account it has the better of the railway advertisements that are for the most part superior to this book in typography and illustrations. Doubleda & Co., New York. An April Princess. Anthony Hope has been widely copied in his Zenda class of stories. Now comes Constance Smedley, who is bold enough to try a hand at imitating the delicate sentiment of the Dolly Dialogues. The result is successful. A volatile, wayward "princess" treads a primrose path to happiness and, to the hearts of her reader acquaintances. Through the early course of her love affairs. "The Princess" is rebellious and independent, but like all right-minded women, she falls in love deeply enough to lay aside all those qualities that are disagreeably inconvenient to her lover. As usual "The Quiet Man" is the one who captures "The Princess" and he ultimately appears as "The King" himself. Social smartness, sparkling gayety, engagingly worked Into an apology for a plot, common sense, wisdom and humor continue to make a very entertaining story. The Princess enjoys life, as so does the reader while he is occupied with her adventures. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. The Red Poocher. In contrast to George Moore's gloomy tales of Irish life are theso stories, 'bright with Celtic humor and logic, by Seumas MacManus. One recurs in thought to Lover and Lever and other purveyors of Irish sport and fun. The author is auditor to Tomas Dubh, gamekeeper, who relates how a clever poacher ("poocher") has shot over the same Irish estate four times in annual succession. This primitive marauder is a bold and ingenious rascal, and. as seen through the eyes of the story-teller, is an admirable rascal. He is also diverting, but chiefly because his victim, Tomas, Is diverting. Tomas is a Celt of unadulterated strain, and is so irrepressible that he forfeits his position as gamekeeper on that account. The humor of this book is transparent and clever, and produces a deep Jollity that Is very pleasant to the reader. Funk & Wagnalls, New York. Reflections of the Slornlnff After. This is a volume of "grouches and grins" emanating from the pen and pencil of Herman Lee Meader, who is both author and illustrator. They are detached thoughts he offers, and are largely of a cynical nature, as is natural "the morning after" a night spent In frivolity or dissipation, as for example: "A man reproaches himself for injuring his health, he regrets squandering his money and he swears if the rain spoils his new straw hat, but the most precious asset he has, his time, he wastes away without a care." And again: "Married men who are allowed one night a week at their club are like old horses turned into a pasture. They want to cut up, but have forgotten how." The book has an odd cover of cloth in palm-leaf design and gay color. II. M. Caldwell & Co., Boston. The Limerick Vp-to-Date Book. Mrs. Ethel Watts Humford, whose clever "Cynics Calendar" made such a hit last year, has followed this with a limerick calendar equally clever and amusing. The rhymes, somo of which are original, some collected, are accompanied by poster designs in black and red, some of these being also the work of Mrs. Mumford; others are by Addison Mizner. There is a blank memorandum page opposite each picture. Here Is a sample limerick, bearing above it the legend, "Gentleness:" "There was a fair maid of Siam, "Who said to her lover, 'O Priam, You may kiss me, of course. Hut you've sot to usa force And, God knows, you're stronger than I am.' This little book comes from tho press of Paul Elder & Co., San Francisco. The Monarch Billionaire. "The Monarch Billionaire," by Morrison I. Swift, is the tale of an imaginary miser who organized the Amalgamated Fish, Ship, Iron, Transportation, Coal and Steel Company and through it enslaved the world. Ponderous arguments against the present Industrial and social systems are put into the mouths of various professors. The universal trust is finally overthrown and a "new order" of things is brought about In an impossible way. The love story of the billionaire's daughter is an incident. The book will interest those who fear what frightens tho author and hope for such a social revolution as he believes Is necessary. J. S. Ogilvie Publishing Company, New York. AVIdoTrs, Grave nnd Otherwise. ' This is another unique and artistic little volume from the press of Paul Elder & Co., San Francisco. It Is made of quotations, one for each day in the year, all relating to widows. Some writers have treated the widow seriously, some humorously, manv cynically, and whatever view the reader of the book may take, he can find that some one has agreed with him. On the title page Is this line from Dickens: "Widders are 'ceptlons to ev'ry rule." The title page also bears the inscription. "Purloined by an exwidow and pictured by a victim." Further on It Is learned that these two persons are Cora D. and A. F. Wellmarth. The drawings, which are reproduced in black and red, are amusing. Prudence Pratt. Trudence Tratt" can scarcely be called a novel despite its alliterative and supposedly alluring title, and to quote the author, Mrs. Dora Lyon, in her "foreword" sums up the whole situation: " 'Prudence Pratt Is simply a focusing of impressions

gathered during an observant career." However, none of the characters is especially interesting, nor is the story Itself In the least exciting, and when one finishes reading the book, one wonders if the author really did think that she had a story worth the telling. The volume Is beautifully prepared and handsomely Illustrated. George V. Blackburne Company, New York.

Current Periodical. Somebody has recently remitted to The World's Work for ten years subscription in advance "because he knows he wants it." Harper & Brothers announce that Howard Pyle has been exclusively retained by them to contribute all his illustrative work in color, or black and white, to Harper's Magazine during 1904. The arrangement begins with the Christmas number, which will be especially sumptuous in illustration. The announcement in the November McClure's that Miss Tarbell will again take up her "History of the Standard Oil Company" In the December number will interest many who have followed the first series. It is announced that Miss Tarbell will end her series with a character sketch of John IX Rockefellerthis will be a great document. The editorials in Wilshlre's Magazine for November are on "Chamberlain's Resignation," "Can Capitalism be Prolonged?" "The Sequel to a Modern Romance" (that of the statesman and orator Lasalle and the beautiful and fascinating Princess Racowitz), and "Munich A Prophecy." Other articles are "The Growth of Municipal Ownership." "The political Side of the Labor Movement," "The God of Gold," "Gorky" and "Rest." An interesting feature of book-selling is that there always seems to be room for a new volume of stories of the intelligence and sagacity of the lower animals. Another candidate for favor in this field has Just been prepared by Arthur H. Miles, and is to be published under the title of "1,001 Animal Anecdotes." One of its strongest claims for attention is based on the fact that it is to contain a very great number of excellent illustrations in black and white. It will be published by the Frederick A. Stokes Company, New York. Casper Whitney's "Sportsman's View Point," in Outing, has to do, this month, with amateurism and professionalism in col lege sport, trotting and pacing records made with wind shield and many other vital subjects. The outdoor men and women sketched this month are Stewart White, Capt. Charles Barr and Foxhall Keene. Dan Beard tells us how to build simple and attractive gateways for country houses and William C. Harris tells anglers how to know pickerel and relates some remarkable catches of his correspondents. John Lane will publish such literary and artistic remains of Aubrey Beardsley as have not hitherto appeared among the art ist's works. Theso will appear in a volume entitled "Under tho Hill and Other Essays In Prose and Verse. Including His Table Talk." Besides the ballads, verses, etc., indicated in the title, the volume will con tain two letters from Beardsley, and, in the form of a "publisher's note," will be a few reminiscences by the publisher, who was a personal friend or the author. The book will be fully illustrated with the artist's work. Country Life in America for November contains as its leading feature a beautifully illustrated description of Mr. Spencer Trask's estate near Saratoga, N. Y. The article on the training of hunting dogs will appeal to all sportsmen who love shooting, and the account of the building of a small country house on an abandoned farm in New Jersey is of special interest to the dwellers in cities. There is, also, a story of the John Bartram home near Philadelphia, an historical spot which has recently been taken over by a society which proposes to preserve it. Of unusual value and interest in the November St., Nicholas will be a discussion by James M. Dodge, president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, on "The Money Value of Training." The article gives the cream of an address delivered by Mr. Dodge at the annual commencement of the Williamson Trade School, cf Philadelphia, in March, 11)03. Mr. Dodge offers suggestions and statistics of value not only to those interested in mechanical pursuits, but to every American boy who expects to work for his living, or who is ambitious to achieve a successful career, whether on individual lines or as aa employer in some great industry. The principal features of the November number of the Review of Reviews are an article on "Men and Issues of the New York City Campaign," illustrated with portraits of the various personalities concerned by Ervin Wardman, editor of the New York Press; an Illustrated article on "The Nation's Print Shop and Its Methods," by J. D. "Whelpley; an illustrated account of the October maneuvers of regulars and militia at Fort Riley, Kansas, by Philip Eastman; a description of the new Springfield rifle by Charles J. Leach; a letter by the Russian minister of the interior, M. De Plehve, in defense of Russia's policy in Finland; and a comprehensive article on "Radium and Its Wonders," by George F. Kunz, the expert in mineralogy. There is also an account of the movements in Japan for the adoption of the Roman letter in writing and printing, by Stanhope Sams, and an illustrated description of "Galveston's Great Sea Wall." The opening pages of the Bookman are full of unusually interesting literary gossippersonal matter concerning authors new and old, with something about their work. An Interesting contribution has far Its title "Charles Reade's Opinion of Himself and of George Eliot." By the way, the frequent appearance of Charles Reade's name in recent periodicals suggests a probability that he is being "revived" preliminary to bringing out new editions of his works. Certainly a revival is his due, the wonder being that his novels were ever allowed to drop into the background, so superior are they in dramatic interest and literary workmanship to most current fiction. An illustrated article by "Number 1500" on "Prison Journalism? has a pathetic interest Many admirers of Kipling who have resented the flippant criticisms of his recent work will be pleased with what Harry Thurston Peck says of him in this number. Among the Publishers. A new and unabridged edition of the famous "Joe Miller" collection of jokes is announced for immediate publication by William T. Henderson, 156 Fifth avenue, New York.

SPECIAL SESSIOX OF CONGRESS OX CUBAN RECIPROCITY. Little Doubt that the Treaty Will Be Passed and the Enabling Leslalation Enacted by the House, W0EK OF EEGULAB SESSION LITTLE WILL DC DOC EXCEPT TO PROVIDE APrROPRIATIOXS. Presidential Sncceasion and Dill for Protection of the President the Two Principal Exceptions Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-Congress will assemble in extraordinary session one week from to-morrow to perform a duty which the Republican administration contends this government Is in honor bound to do. President Roosevelt was unable during the life of the Fifty-seventh Congress to se cure the passage of a'measura providing: reciprocal trade arrangements between the United States and Cuba, He regarded the question of sufficient Importance to keep the Senate in Washington two weeks after the Fifty-seventh Congress had expired by constitutional limitation. He now assembles both houses in special session, and It is written that his Cuban policy, inherited from his predecessor, shall be placed on the statue books in the form of law. The President's determination In this connection has never faltered, and where he formerly encountered bitter opposition and hostil ity , he will now meet ready acquiescence and co-operation. The special session may continue nearly four weeks. Its life cannotbo prolonged beyond that period, as the regular session of the Fifty-eighth Congress must assemble on the first Monday in December, which this year falls on the 7th. In the proclamation convening Congress in extraordinary session, the President mentions only Cuban reciprocity. Other measures may be discussed, but no results are anticipated except the passage by the House of the enabling legislation so modifying; the provisions of the Dlngley tariff law as to meet the terms of the treaty that will be ratified by the Senate. xxx No subject considered by the lawmakers in recent years created such bitter controversy and violent partisanship as that embodied in the Cuban treaty. In the House the dissensions among the Republicans were pronounced, and the leaders were openly defied by a small band of insurgents. Notwithstanding the pressure exerted by the administration, the Fiftyseventh Congress adjourned without acting on Cuban reciprocity. The feeling then was bitter and the prediction was made that when the time rolled around for the assembling of the Fifty-eighth Congress the fight would be renewed along the same lines. As far as can be observed on the surface this prediction will not be verified. There is sentiment antagonistic to Cuban reciprocity, but it Is not strong enough to defeat the administration policy. Many members who were classified with the "Cuban insurgents" a year ago now express their determination to vote for the treaty. It may therefore be accepted as a certainty that before the special session of the Fifty-eighth Congress has passed Into history reciprocal trade relations between the United States and Cuba will be firmly established. XXX The programme for the special session having been outlined, attention is now directed by Republican leaders to the policy that shall prevail In the regular session. From present indications the coming Congress will be of Importance only from a political aspect. Little legislation of a national character with the exception of the bill to protect the President and relating to the succession of the presidency will be enacted. Appropriations will be confined mainly to the big supply bills. Closely following adjournment, early next summer, comes the national campaign. Both parties will prepare for it this winter. The Democrats are at loss for an issue, and following traditional lines, will attempt to fashion ammunition of alleged mistakes of their political enemies. The deep-toned Democratic orators will descatft on the postal scandals, the land frauds, and developments in Indian Territory. The record of the administration is clean In all these matters. Wherever fraud has been found it has been pursued by the legal authorltes. Thirty indictments, numerous dismissals and important administrative reforms have followed in the wake of the postal investigators. Like energetic measures have been taken to punish the land sharks, and al-t leged peculation and official impropriety is now under searching investigation in Indian Territory. But nevertheless, tho Democratic brethren will touch on all of these questions with a view to fire the indignation of the people. A peculiar condition of affairs confronts the Fifty-eighth Congress. No questions of overshadowing national importance call for action at this time. Tariff revision has been agitated, but the Dingley law will not be disturbed at the coming session. This, at least. Is the policy of the leaders. Reform in the banking and currency laws is advocated, but the leaders have so far been unable to adjust their differences, and action in this conection probably will be deferred until the short session, which will convene in December of 1904. Some measures of a minor nature relating to finance may be passed, as well as the Aidrlch bank deposit bill. The latter Is designed as a measure of relief in times of money stringency, and will probably be passed In one form or another. It has supporters even among the Democrats. XXX A tremendous volume of business was transacted in the Fifty-seventh Congress. Measures of an important nature, national and state, were disposed of and many laws placed on the statute books which had been the subject of controversy for years. The most Important, probably, from a popular point of view, were those aimed at combinations In restraint of trade, better known as the anti-trust laws. This isthmian canal bill was passed, the army reorganized on a modern basis, and after agitation for nearly one hundred years the national militia was placed upon a solid foundation. Important pension legislation of a general character was passed, the Chinese exclusion act was revived, and important modification made in the immigration laws. The Department of Commerce and Labor was created, a civil government for the Philippines established and a new system of coinage into the archipelago. Not the hast important of the accomplishments of the Fifty-reventh Congress was the passage of the antl-oleomargarino law and the automatic car coupler act. The latter had been urged for many years. In addition, numerous measures of interest to the various States in a local sense were spread upon the statutes. The Fifty-seventh Congress also appropriated millions of dollars for public building and riven and harbors. It will thus be seen that the last Congress was a busy one. It paved the way for a leisurely rej-sion this winter, and except for the routine business, political discussion, debates on the isthmian canal, tariff and finance, there is little for Congress to do. xxx No definite programme, except that appropriations shall be reduced to the minimum, has as yet been fixed by the leaders. Whether supplemental action will be taken on the isthmian canal project depends on developments in South America. The shipping subsidy bill will not be passed unless a compromise Is affected on Important amendments, which at this time does not seem likely. Statehood will be discussed, and probably two new stars added to "old glory." Legislation for Alaska is demanded as well as new laws affecting our Insular possessions. One of them is the Philippine tariff bill, which failed In the last Congress. There is a demand for an eight-hour law, nnd labor leaders also urge the Injunction bill which proposes to prevent

There may be some supplemental anti-trust legislation but the consensu of opinion Is that the present statutes should be fully tested before they, are amended. XXX Probably no bill to be considered Is of more general intesest throughout the United States than that to protect the President. The measure that probably will be passed was the one prepared by Senators Hoar and Fairbanks, and Representatives Jenkins, Overstreet and De Armond in conference on the part of the judiciary committees of tha Senate and House. The bill prescribed the death penalty tor the killing of the President or Vice President of the United States, or any officer on whom the duties of President devolved by the Constitution and tho law. Attempt to cause the death of any of these persons was made punishable by death or, at the discretion of the court. Imprisonment for no less than ten years. The bill further provides that any one within the jurisdiction of the United States who should aid, abet, advise or counsel the killing of the President or Vice President, or other officers upon whom the powers of the President would devolve, or who should counsel the killing of the sovereign or chief magistrate of any foreign country or who should conspire with any person to accomplish the gams should be deemed a prln cipal offender. Persons who aided in the escape of any one guilty of the foregoing offenses should be punished as a principal. Any person who advocates the propriety or necessity of killing the head of any civilized nation or who openly justified such killing should be fined not more than S5.00Q. with Imprisonment from one to twenty years. No person who opposed organized society or who was affiliated with any society opposing It should be permitted to enter the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof, and no such person should be naturalized or made a citizen of the United States. This bill was bitterly fought, and finally failed at the close of the session. The question will be a rain considered this winter. In the closing hours of the Fiftyseventh Congress Senator Hoar, chairman of the Judiciary committee, gave notice that, although the pending legislation might not be consummated, the bill ultimately should pass. It Is thought that renewed impetus will be given the efforts by the recent visits of cranks to the White House. xxx Another matter of perhaps more practical Importance, which Congress undoubtedly will consider this winter, is the succession to the presidency In certain contingencies, for which there are now no provisions. The Constitution recites that In the event of the removal of a President from office by reason of death, resignation or inability, the Vice President shall succeed him, and that in case of the removal of both. Congress ha declared by law what officer shall then act as President. It makes no provision for the event of the removal of a President-elect There is aa Interval of nearly two months between tho casting of the electoral vote In January and the Inauguration In March. What would happen If a President-elect should die in the February before Inauguration T Who would be Inaugurated on March 4? Most people would answer: "The Vice President-elect." Probably this would be the case, but the Constitution does not say so. It merely makes au actual Vice President eligible la case of the removal of an actual President. When Horace Greeley i a.

Thre Georgia electors votetf for Greeley, although he was drad. Their votes were thrown out by Congres. While this experience by no means tallies with the contingency described, slr.ee the

electors, before tne couege meeis, are plainly empowered t decide disputed questions, it reveals Homethlng of the confusion that might follow the death of a Presidentelect In February. The question also arises, what would happen If both President-elect and Vice Preldent-lect were removed, as by such a conspiracy a that of which the assassination of President Lincoln was a part? Neither the Constitution nor the law makes any provislou whatever for the succession In such case. Senator Hoar, as chairman of 'the judiciary committee, has urged aa amendment to give Congress the power to prescribe by law for the succession in such cases. The proposal was originally made borne years ago by Senator Frye at the instance of his constituents. Senator Hoar soured the passage cf resolutions by the Senate without opposition two years ago, but the House never acted on them. xxx The Democrats are expected to begin talking politics from the moment the gavel falls In both houses of Congress. They will harp on the tariff, finance, department Bcandals nd the trusts. The Republicans are prepared to ratet thpn on all of these questions. JOHN U. MONK
