“idylla of the Sea.*’

Frank- T. Bullen, w ho. n few months ; ago. gave us a. delightful Recount of j whale-catching, under the title 'The Oroiae of the Cachalot." a book which ' was commended very highly by Mr. Kip-} ling, has collected a number of faithful sea pictures Into a compact volume which la published under the title “Idylls of the 6ea." Let It l>e understood that the story element U not to be found in these 1 sketches of the sea. They are merely the observations of a man who has sailed the j sea for many years, who lias an open eye ‘ for the beauties and the mysteries of the great deep, and who haw literary craft- ! manship enough to put these pictures In a most vivid way before his readers. It one s knowledge of the sea had been gleaned from books of travel or from the ! work of romancers, one might well j Imagine that In certain parts of his book Mr. Bullen had gone outside the truth and was practicing the art of yarn-spinning, which has been conceded to be the right j of ancient mariners from time Immemori- j al; but if one has seen and known and loved the sen. has felt Its mystery and its I power and has learned that ‘‘there are > more things In heaven and earth" than ■ land-bound scientists have ever dreamed of. then one may well understand that these strange pictures are well within the [

truth.

The book Is divided Into three parts— ; ‘‘Idylls of the Sea,” “Studies In Marine i Natural History" and "Other Sketches." j The first part pictures for us the death of an old forecastle hand, tells us a true shark-story, gives a view of the broad ocean from the whaler's “crow's-nest," tells of a submarine earthquake, of derelicts at sea, and so on. Of these sketches by far the most picturesque. If not the strangest, Is the one entitled "Ruimlng the Easting Down." This describes one of the most inspiriting parts of the voyage of a sailing-ship. In the Eastern trade, the time when, having reached the Southern parallels, having experienced a spell of the ‘doldrums,” she picks up the brave trades, always certain, “that unhindered sweep In almost constant procession around the landless slopes of the world." Here is where ship and me t n are tried to the utmost, for It ts here that time must be made up for the dreary tropic calms, and It is here that skippers “carry on” until every yard, every bit of canvas and every stick in the ship Is tested to Its utmost capacity. Mr. Sullen takes us on board a huge, modern sailing-ship, undermanned, as too many of the ships of to-day are. The ship has Just caught the trades and the skipper has been called and notified of the change In the weather. Planting himself in his favorite attitude on the extreme weather-quarter, the captain fixed his eyes on the upper sails with a look of supreme content, though to an inexperienced gaxe they would have seemed on the point of bursting Into shreds, their very stitch-holes strained to gaping a quarter-inch long. Every one of her thirty-four wings were spread and drawing, for the wind, being well on the quarter, allowed of the yards being canted forward, while the ship went “steady as a church," with a ten-degree list to port. Still the wind Increased, and faster drove the ship, until by daylight she was going a full*sixteen knots. It Is a stirring picture Mr. Bullen draws, so good as an entirety that it is almost a pity to spoil It by quoting any part of it. Mr. Bullen has some very Interesting things to tell of marine natural history, and his chapter on sharks, as well as his chapter on devil-fish, la full of life. In his chapter on turtles he tells a story that has long been current In the forecastle of many ships, but It Is still good as illustrating the tendency of the merchant-Jack to grumble at his food—not without cause. He tells of a ship along the Mexican coast, whose skipper bought a fine, large turtle and

bad It served to the crew;

At 8 bells a procession of weary-looklng men slouched aft, the foremost one bearing a kid of something. He came to the break of the poop, and, as spokesman. Inquired for the captain. That gentler man stepped forward, saying. "Well, what’s up now?” "What d‘ye call that, sir?" said the man. "That." said the skipper, giving Just a glance at the queer-looking mess In the kid; “why, yer so-and-so Idiot, that’s what the lord mayor gives about a guinea a bounce for. Why. only the harlstocracy gets a ch&rnce at-’ome to eat the likes o’ that." "Oh, very well,'* said the man; "p'raps you‘11 eat It yourself then, sir, since It's

what we signed

to eat shell-

so good, and give us wh for. We ain’t crockeydllea,

fish, shells an' all."

The paper, ‘Truth About the Merchant Service," la good aa far as It goes, but as we are able to recognise the truth in what la told,so we are quite confident that It does not go far enough—the whole truth Is not told. For Instance, when Mr. Bullen says "American methods of ‘booting 1 and ‘belaylng-pln soup’ are also out of the question, for Jack knows enough of the merchant shipping act to make him a dangerous customer to assault,” he may be stating what he believes, certainly not what he knows. Some day when a sailor feels Inclined to rell the whole truth, we shall learn how almost universal ts the use of the belaying plr, the rope s end and the fist. Still, If one had a fancy for a better acquaintance with the sea—the sea as it really Is-at times so calm and greasy that one can realise the force of the Ancient Mariner's The very deep did rot; O Christ!

That sver this should be!

A History of the American Notion. Andrew C, McLaughlin, professor of American History In the University of Michigan, has prepared a dear and succinct history of the American nation, which, while it will prove especially useful to students, hah an appeal also to the ordinary reader. The scheme of the author has been to trace the main outlines of national development, to show how the American people came to be what they are. These main outlines include the struggle of the nations of western Europe for possession of the New World, and the final victory of England over France; the foundation of English colonies and their development aa effective instruments tor winning and holding dominion for the Ena Hah king; the steady' progress of these colonies In strength and self-reliance, until they were fit for Independence: the growth of political Ideas and governmental forms in preparation for the organization of the new republic; the separation from the mother country and the assertion of distinct nationality; the difficulties and disorders of the Confederate period, when the country presented the “awful spectacle” of a “nation without a national government”; the finding of a suitable and proper political organization by the adoption of the constitution of the United Siatea; the effort to maintain national independence and to keep from entangling alliances with Europe at a period when much of the civilised world was at war, and the nations of Europe had neither respect nor regard for the feeble democracy on this side of the ocean; the continuing problem ss to whether the American republic, stretching over so wide a territory and embracing so many Interests, could continue to exist or would be broken Into pieces by the operation of local prejudices and Jealousies: the growth of slavery and of anti-slavery sentiment, and the gradual separation of these sections; ths declaration of the civil war that there must be but one nation, and that the nation should be wholly free; the events of the period of reconstruction, during which the two sections were welded anew Into a nation stronger and sounder than

ever before.

AU of these different pnaee* of proirress have been clearly marked out by Professor McLaughlin In his book; especial attention has been paid to political facts, to the rise of parti** to the leaves Involved lu elections, to the development of governmental machinery, and. In general, to questions of government and administration. While the ground covered, as will bs seen, is comprehensive and

wide, the facts are condensed and the ' book is compact. Wi-d-arranged aP.l avoids even the shadow of prejudice, it is well supplied with maps which mark j the growth of the nation; U illustrated. ; and has a well-prepared and useful index. (New York: D. Appleton * Co. Indiana- ) polls: The Bowcn-McnriU Company.) A Double Thread. A bright, readable and clever story Is 1 "A Double Thread.” by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, whose "Concerning Isabel j Carnaby" is listed as one of the successes ! of last year. The same qualities that marked this author a first novel marks j the present one—brilliant conversation j sparkling with epigrammatic remarks; j fresh and Interesting observation Of char- j acter; sympathy and understanding and a good eye for diamatic effect. One may doubt whether the leading motive of the j story is whoily probable, but after all ths plot J* a secondary consideration in this novel, for Us chief use t» to Introduce a number of delightful characters to each } other and allow' them to talk freely and t entertainingly. The story has to do with j two sisters, Ethel and Eifrida Harland. | They are twins, and one haa been made i an heiress, while the other has to work | for a Lvtng. Jack Le Mesurier comes j home from his regiment in India and makes the acquaintance of both the rich sister and the poor one, and, In spite ol the fact that bis uncle. Sir Roger Ureystone. orders him to marry the rich girl, he falls In love with the poor one. Then, at the last it comes out that one of the sisters had died as a child, and that Eifrida Harland, being tired of fortunehunters, had Impersonated her poorer sister. The plot seems trite and stale when thus baldly set out. but It is handled in a manner quite original by the author. The characters In the book are not mere lifeless puppets; they seem to live, and some of them are very convincing. indeed. The Rev. Philip Cartwright and Lord and Lady Silverhampton are creations. The brightness and originality of the dialogue, which Is the strong feature of the book, can best be exemplified by a few extracts. At various times the characters say things like this; Bhe had everything that fortune could give her, and consequently was weary of life, which seems like a paradox, but is really a platitude. I hate a man who Is unselfish Just as I hate a man who slugs falsetto. They are both poor Imitations of a woman I think. “Jack," said Sir Roger, “here Is a successful man. Emulate him as far as lies In your power, and always bear in mind that he remained a bachelor." A wife, like a joke, should require no explanation. A man once said to me that It was Impossible to respect a woman who Invariably walked last out of the diningroom. Can a man be sensible w<io has loved a woman and has written a book? At this pitch goes conversation throughout the book, and therefore the book Is never dull. (New York: D. Appleton & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-MerrlU Company.) D’Arcv ot tbe Guards. “D’Arcy of the Guards,” by Louis Evan Shipman, has about its title the atmosphere of Dumas, and the same atmosphere clings to the story. .Its opening chapters are laid In England—England In the time when gentlemanly highwaymen stopped the stage coaches and spent their booty In drinking deep at out-of-the-way old inns. Dick Conyngham. the highwayman, is killed in the third chapter of the book, but he Is a fine rascal while he lasts, and he puts the reader In a frame of mind to enjoy the rest of the story. The hero is Jack D'Arcy, of hla Majesty's Guards, who, having killed a Inan In a duel, after the battle of Long Island, is sent home, and owing to the Influence of the dead man's friends at court. Is unable to get a reappointment. It Is while traveling up to London that Dick Conyngham essays to rob the coach, and Is killed by D'Arcy, who, by a clever thrust, saves the life of ah old gentleman, the only other occupant of the coach. It turns out that the old man Is a power at court, and *o D’Arcy finds himself gazetted to the staff of General Lord CornwaUts. Thereafter the scene shifts to America and. the war of the revolution. We can, not help liking D’Arcy, even If he is fighting against American independence, and, indeed, one gets so interested In his personal fortunes and In his love-making especially that the war is forgotten for a time. D'Arcy and his friend are quartered on a family In Philadelphia, and D'Arcy falls In love with the daughter of the house, "a little rebel,” he calls her, but he loves her notwith'standlng. We see an historic meeting of British officers In this house at which It is decided to attack Washington at Valley Forge and surprise him there. Cynthia, the American girl, gets a copy of the plans, and would ride to warn Washington, but D’Arcy intercepts her. She draws a pistol on him, and when he refuses to let her go, in spite of her pleading. she shoots him down, and then rides madly through the night and saves the American army. All through the final battles D’Arcy lies between life and death, but when the fortune of war is decided and America has won her freedom, he goes back to England and Cynthia, no longer a rebel, goes with him. If one enjoys a story in which there Is plenty of gallant fighting, “D'Arcy of the Guards” may be safely recommended.. (H. S. Stone & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company.) Droaa. “Dross," the latest story by Henry Seton Merrlman, is one of those books in which the reader who is Inclined to be critical can easily discover faults of construction and other blemishes, but it is the sort of story with which no reader cares to be too particular, the tale itself is so capital and moves so swiftly and entertainingly. The background of the story 1s the Franco-Prussian war, but the •war Itself has little to do with the story. The hero, a young Englishman named Howard, having had a row with his wealthy father, is In Paris to earn a living. He becomes secretary to the aged Viscount de Clerichy, taking the position largely on account of the Viscount's daughter, Lucille, with whom he has fallen in love at first sight. The FrancoPrussian war causes the Viscount and a rich friend of his to turn all their property Into cash, and a large fortune in bank notes is intrusted to the Viscount. The money Is stolen, supposedly by the Viscount's former secretary, Charles Mlate. Shortly thereafter the Viscount disappears and a letter to hls wife conveys the news that he has committed suicide. Hls body Is found in the river and identified. To the aid of LuolUe and her mother, thus left alone, comes the young Englishman, who takes them to England, and seeing them safely installed in a country house, he starts out on the search for Charles Mlste and the missing fortune. Here the story gets exciting, for some clever detective work is done and the game of htde-and-seek is played across the continent. In the end Mlste Is caught on the top of an Alpine pass and there killed. Half the fortune la recovered and the other half would have been if the author had not seen fit to bring In another mystery, so skillfully and unexpectedly that It Would hardly be fair to reveal It. One character In the book, old John Turner, the English banker In Parte, Is very well done, and altogether tbe book is most readable. (Chicago; H. S, Stone & Co. Indianapolis: Tbe Bowen-MerrlU Company.) The Town and Country Library, The two latest Issues in Appleton's Town and Country Library are ‘Madam Izan," by Mrs. Ca'mpbell-Praed. and "Pursued by the Law,” by J. M. Cobban. The first of these stories has to do with Japan, and. while it is to be commended for the vivid picture, it gives parts of Japan that are usually not visible to the ordinary tourist, the main part of the story is to unpleasant. Its motive so repellent, that we imagine, few people will enjoy the book. The main character, Madame Izan. Is a beautiful English girl, who has been blind for many years, but who has Just recovered her sight She is first met with in Hong-Kong, on her way to Japan. An Australian millionaire sees her. falls In love with her and journeys with her to Japan, pressing hls suit. He is unable to find out why “Madame” ts prefixed to her mme, for he has learned that she is not a widow, and he

can not bring himself to believe that she has a husband living. When she knows him well enough to tell him her story, he learns that she had been married In England to a Japanese student, then In the university. Hls name was Izan, and within an hour of her marriage to him a long-lost relative had turned up and brought her a fortune. Her husband would not agree to a divorce, but he agreed to return to Japan if she on her part would agree to come out to Japan to see him In the course of years. Then, if she liked him, well and good; If not, he would release her. It is this Journey that sht is on now. When the steamer arrives at Kobe, and the party engage guides, they get as courier a man named Keneho. He is assiduous In hls attentions to Madame Izan, and in the ond It turns out that he Is the husband, and the beautiful girl likes him so well that she leaves h»r party and goes away with the Japanese. It is evident that Mrs. Campbell-Praed has sought to make this erdlng of her story seem less harsh by picturing the delights of Japan, but to the ordinary rejider this ending will be quite-unsatisfactory. "Pursued by the Law' is a sort of detective story capitally told. In which the reader Is permitted to see and know that the hunted man Is entirely innocent One's sympathies are entirely against the law officers, and it Is with great satisfaction that one sees the hunted man escape them at every turn. The crime with which the man Is charged is the murder of his father, and it Is shown that It is quite impossible for him to have committed the crime. Peculiar Interest attaches to a character in this story who almost overshadows the hero. "Mr. Townsend, of Jermyn street” Is confessedly the head of a band of robbers, a man of education, of Infinite resource, and he is a sort of criminal Sherlock Holmes, and the reader Is so Impressed with hls cleverness and hls genial kindness and disinterestedness that hls vocation is quite forgotten. The Interest in this sfory Is sustained from the very beginning. (New York: D. Appleton & Co. Indianapolis: The BowenMerrlU Company.)

A Fair Brigand.

A story crowded with plot and Incident Is "A Fair Brigand,” by George Horton. If the tone of the book were more serious It would be entitled to* more respect, but the author seems to be laughing with hls characters, and at hls readers all the time. The story relates the adventures of two Americans In Greece—one. Dr. Brown, an authority on Argive bronzes; the other, a Mr. Anderson, his friend. These two are captured by brigands while climbing Mt. Olympus and are held for ransom, but they make their escape by the aid of the daughter of the brigand chief, who has fallen in love with Dr. Brown. The author tells some home truths when he draws a picture of the American consul abroad, although conditions may not be so bad at the consulate In Greec#as they are here pictured. The episodes In which the American correspondents abroad for sensational newspapers figure are also much exaggerated, but truth is at the base of the picture. Up to the time of the rescue of Dr. Brown, the story is stirring and exciting enough, but after that, when Dr. Brown is hurried into a marriage with the Greek girl who res cued him, and In the subsequent unpleasant episodes, the book is less convincing and entertaining. (Chicago: H. S. Stone & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Corapaii)'-) The Periodicals and Literary Notes. Dodd, Mead & Co. announce that they have Blade arrangements to bring out a new novel by Marie Correlll. Robert Barr’s new novel will probably appear next week from the Frederick A. Stokes Company. It is called “The Strong The advent of another newspaper Is annoqnced In London. It Is stated that no betting news, murders In detail, nor. Indeed, anything to blunt the moral tone of readers will appear in Its pages. The first move toward making permanent the history of the cup races in book form Is made by R. H. Russell, who will bring out shortly a history In pictures, by L. A. Shafer, of the winning and defence

of the America's Cup.

If we may believe Mr. Monkshood, who has Just written a book about Kipling, the writers that have Influenced Kipling are William Ernest Henley, James Thomson, Bret Harte, Macaulay, Defoe Dickens the compilers of the Bible and Rudyard

Kipling.

The Bowen-Merrill Company is busy at present pushing a number of works through the press which are to be pub llshed In the autumn. Among their fall books will be one or two solid historical works, and perhaps a volume of essays and some poetry, but the bulk of their output will be fiction. There are at least two historical novels whlclv are expected to win the approbation of the public. The illustrated chapter on summer fiction, which appears in Book News for June, will be appreciated as one of the best features of the number. The frontispiece is a portrait of Stanley Waterloo, author of a A Man and a Woman,” a sketch of whose career is given. Other features are the confessions of Julian Ralph, George W. Cable, Franklin Bullen, Arthur W. Pinero and other successful writers, telling of the motives which Inspired their respectives works. “Hawaii in Feudal Days” Is the subject Caspar Whitney discusses In the seventh paper on “Hawaiian America," in Harper's Weekly. Mr. Whitney presents here all that Is known about the history of Hawaii from the earliest days to the present time. The old customs and religious ceremonies, as Mr. Whitney describes them, are very interesting. The article Is valuable because it is really nothing else than a comprehensive history of the first of our new colonies,. Prof. Albert Buehnell Hart, of Harvard, has written & “Source Book of American History,” which will be published immediately by the Macmillan Company. The book is made up of one hundred and thir-ty-nine extracts from writers contemporary with the events which they de scribe. The extracts are chosen chiefly from letters, diaries, reminiscences, travels, speeches, and narratives; the purpose being to collect material Interesting in Itself, as well as Illustrative of national history. Most of the great men of American history are represented. A striking Instance of the spread of the English language and its reaction on International publishing In the simultaneous publication of editions of Richard Carvel In New York, London, San Francisco and Toronto, while negotiations have Just been concluded for a special edition in India and for one also In the British colonies. Winston Churchill was practically an unknown man Just one year ago this month. Such, however. Is the outcome of the success of hla first novel, "The Celebrity," which, by the bye, was written during a holiday Interval while Richard Carvel was

on the stocks.

The House Beautiful for June has for frontispiece a charming picture of a modern English country house. Mabel Key gives a review of the recent exhibition of the Chicago Arts and Crafts Society, and George T. B. Davis, In "Some House Beautiful Designs in Practice,” shows how some of the prize architectural designs published In the magazine have been practically wrought out. There are some remarkable informative essays on old furniture and bric-a-brac, on home grounds and on various other subjects related to the beautifying of the home.

The June Book-Buyer preaeuts a portrait of Edith Wharton, author of "The Greater Inclination," as frontispiece. The department called "The Rambler" contains eight portraits and much gossip about literary people. E. H. Shaw writes on “Paine's Monument at New Rochelle, and there Is an appreciative article on Aubrey Beardsley, apropos of two books recently published, containing examples of hls best and hls most erratic work. Current literature receives Us full share of attention in an unusual quantity of book reviews and the literary news of London is given by J. M. Bulloch. The tent-making ascribed to the singing Omar disturbs the equanimity of “The Scotsman." The idea that the Persian astronomer royal was a tent-maker, it says, "has now got bo fairly well started down the hill of mythology that It Is probably too late to stop 11; but the Oriental phllolegers have demonstrated that, although 'Khayyam' means a tent-maker. It was applied to Omar as a family name only: so that It would be as Absurd to argue that Sir Samuel Baker, made buns, or that the late Dr. Cobham Brewer made bitter beer, or that Sir Henry CampbellBannerman has really any rag of a flag to carry, as to say that Omar did In very

deed make tents.”

‘How Sardou Lives and Works,” written by Tighe Hopkins, la an article of unusual interest In the June Critic. A Richard Whitelng, author of Street,” forms the frontispiece, and the body of the magazine contains an autobiography of this author. Frederick S, Dickson contributes another installment of hls Interesting “Thackeray's Contributions to Punch,” Illustrated by reproductions from old numbers of the London comic weekly. Sir Walter Beeant has something more to say about the unjust dealing of publishers, apropos of recent criticisms of hls "The Pen and the Book,” and he makes It clear that the criticisms he has leveled at publishing houses leaves the withers of American publishers unwrung. There Is a quantity of fresh literary news and gossip and several fine portraits of writers now prominently before the public. A pleasant reminiscence of William Morris, at Oxford, In ISM, is furnished by the Rev. R. W. Dixon: At first Morris was regarded by the Pembroke men simply as a very pleasant boy (the least of us was senior by a term to him) who was fond of talking, which he did In a husky shout, and fond of going down the river with Faulkner, who was a good boatingman. He was very fond of sailing a boat. He was also extremely fond or singlestick and a good fencer. In no long time, however, the great characters of hls nature began to Impress us. Hls fire and Impetuosity, great bodily strength, and high temper were soon manifested, and wer* sometlmes~a8tontehIng. But hls mental qualities, hls intellect, also began to be perceived and acknowledged. I remember Faulkner remarking to me: “How Morris seems to know things, doesn't he?*’ And then it struck me that It was so. I ob served how decisive he was; how accurate, without any effort or formality; what an extraordinary power of observation lay at the base of many of hte casual or Incidental remarks, and how many things he knew that were quite out of the way. • • * One night Crom Price and I went to Exeter and found him with BurneJones. As soon as we entered the room, Burne-Jones exclaimed, wildly: "He's a big poet." “Who is?" asked we. “Why, Topsy”—the name which we had given to him. We sat down and heard Morris read

his first ten in his

and the Red din." as ne reaa n. * xe*i that it was something the like of which had never been heard before. • • • I can not recollect what took place afterward, but 1 expressed my admiration In some way, as we all did, and I remember his remark: "Well, if this is poetry, it Is very easy to write.” We have received the fifty-seventh bound volume of the Century for the six months ending with April. The names of Sampson, Shafter, Sigsbee, Hobson, Greene, etc. are a guaranty of first-hand accounts of the chief events of the West Indian and Philippine campaigns. "Lowell’s Impressions of Spain” deal with a period when peace prevailed even In Cuba; and whllp military prowess is celebrated In Professor Wheeler’s notable series of historical stud • les of which Alexander the Great Is the theme, the Macedonian’s campaigns are too remote In time and place to come Into me same category with the “war story” of to-day. James Bryce, writing on England’s colonial experiments, presents the observations of one who Is not only a student of the art of government, but also an experienced parliamentarian, cabinet officer and traveler. Equally "expert” In their several ways, and of equal popular Interest, are Walter Wellman’s account of the beginning of his expedition "On the Way to the North Pole”; Paul L. Ford’s “Many-Sided Franklin,” with a chapter on each of the several of the “many sides" of a character and career without parallel in American history; John C. Van Dyke's "Old English Masters.” accompanying Cole’s engravings; and Charles Henry Hart on ‘‘Gilbert Stuart's Portraits of Women,” with engravings by Henry Wolf. A dip at random Into the pages of this book brings up such tidbits aa Lewis Carroll's unpublished letters to little girls, Mark Twain’s "From the London Times of 1904,” "Absolute Zero" (an Illustrated description of the possibilities of liquid air), Noah Brooks's entertaining reminiscences of Mark Twain and Henry George In California, “The Carlyles In Scotland," Tlssot’s "Christmas at Bethlehem," and short stories by Jacob Rlls, Ruth McEnery Stuart, Mary Hallock Foote, etc. Among the serials are Mr. Crawford's "Via Cmcis" and Mr. Stockton’s fantastic tale "Tha Vizier"; and among the innumerable Illustrations—several of them printed In tint— the first in order Is Miss Beaux’s frontispiece portrait of Dr. Weir Mitchell. Colnmbla Club Corner-Stone. . The Columbia Club corner-stone will be laid Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The club will march from Its temporary home to the new building, with T. M.

APPELLATE COURT.

Non Eat Factum—Reading Contract

Negligence.

3,167. William P- Binford vs. Francis

Bruso et al. Montgomery versed. Henley, J. .

An answer to a complaint on a contract, which alleges that plaintiff and de fendant agreed on certain terms for a contract, and that defendant was unable to read, and that plaintiff represented to him that a paper which he had prepared embodied such contract, and undertook to read It to plaintiff, but so falsely and fraudulently read It as to omit a part thereof, whereupon defendant signed the paper sued on, and that defendant has fully performed all the stipulations of hls contract, as agreed on and as read to him by plaintiff, is not sufficient as a special answer of non est factum, tn that It falls to show that defendant was free from negligence In signing the contract under

the circumstances.

Verdict — Concealment — Statute ot

Limitations.

2,867. Margaret V. Bower vs. Mair J. Thomas et Rl. Clark C. C. Affirmed

Wil^sy JT

(1) A general verdict for defendant finds all the material facts In Issue In hls favor and can only be overcome by the answers to interrogatories in case they find facts Irreconcilable therewith. (2) The concealment by a person of the fact that he 1* liable to an action, in order to be sufficient to suspend the running of the statute of limitations under the provisions of Section 300, Revised Statutes 1881, must be something more than mere silence. There must have been some trick or artifice to prevent a discovery, or some material fact misstated to or concealed from the party by some positive or affirmative act or declaration when Inquiry was being made

or Information being sought.

Railroad — Negligence — Excessive

Damages.

2,806. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago A St. Louis Railway Company vs. David H. Harbin. Knox C. C. Reversed. Comstock, C. J. Where the plaintiff in an action for dam-

ages for being negligently directed by the conductor to get off of a train fourteen miles from hte destination, did not allege nor prove any damages except such ae were incident to hls being compelled to hire conveyance and drive the fourteen miles without hls supper on a cool September evening from which he suffered no more serious consequences than becoming chlUed, a verdict for 8150 damages must be set aside as excessive.

A TEMPORARY MIDWAY.

Entertainment Given by the AngloAmerican Trained Animal Show.

The vacant lot at the corner of Illinois and Pratt streets has been converted into a temporary "midway," with about half dozen attractions to lure within the •mall boy and older persona who have a fancy for circus effects. In the main pavilion "the Greatest .Anglo-American Trained Animal Exposition” gives an entertainment. There are five cages, containing Ilona tigers, leopards and bears A wobbly camel carries passengers about the tent and an elephant performs some tricks. There IS also a boxing match between a man and a kangaroo, and “Mme. Flora” gives a performance with two

large but lazy snakes.

In a smaller tent there ts an adjunct to the main show, consisting of a horse with an extra heavy mane and tall, and tn an-

DR. KILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT Is Not Recommended For Everything. But if You Have Kidney or Bladder Trouble it Win be Found Just the Remedy You Need. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disapepar when the kidneys are out of order or diseased.. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that't is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often. If the urine scalds the fiesh. or If, when the child reaches an age when It should be able to control the passage, and Is yet afflicted with bed-wet-ting, depend upon It, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be toward the treatment of these Important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder, and not to a habit, as most people suppose.. Bo we find that women, as well as men, are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same remedy. The mild and Immediate effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It la sold by drpggtets in COo and U sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mall free; also pamphlet telling all about It, Including many of the thousandr of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y., mention The Indianapolis News.

Membership Increasing. The membership of the Commercial Club Is steadily Increasing. The membership committee which was appointed tn February has not undertaken any active solicitation, but a considerable number of applications for membership have been voluntarily filed and acted on favorably. At no time In the club's history have volunteer members come In so largely. Among those who have been admitted to membership since February 1, the begin, niug of the new year, are D. M. GeetTng, W. P. Herod. Moses Sell*. J. W. Walker. G. A. Reoker, G, A. Archibald, Leopold Levy, J. F. Allen, B. A. Jenkins, J. H. Furnas, A. 8. H. Blackledge, C. A. McConnell, Elisha Havens, Robert Geddes, J. H.

Health is •priceless jewel. Everybody admits that. Yet the people who protect their gold by burglar alarms, and lock their diamonds in a steel vault, make not the least effort to protect the jewel they declare to be priceless. Some day they find the jewel is

stolen by thief , and they

are willing to give everything to get it

back.

The quickest and surest way to the recovery of lost health, is by tbe "use of that radical and rational remedy, Dr. Pierce’s Goldin Medical Discovery. Diseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach. A host of chronic sufferers who had ** doctored ” for years for a diseased heart, liver or spleen, have at last used "Golden Medical Discovery" for the blood, stomach and or ran s of digestion and nutrition, and found a perfect cure of the hitherto incurable ailments. The most convincing argument for a trial of the ** Golden Medtcal Discovery " is that it has cured so many people "given up” by the doctors. There is no alcohol, cocaine, opium or other narcotic in "Golden Medical

Discovery.'*

“I have long felt it tny duty to acknowledge to vou what your * Golden Medical Discovery • and ‘ Favorite Prescription ‘ have done for me," writes Miss Alice Hampton, of 190 Bast 4th St.. Lexington, Ky. “ I had intermittent fever (or fever and ague) one year before taking your medicines, and mar frrvnonnetd incurable Had ■ bad cough. My arms and shoulder*

“Two Heads Are Better Than One” One, however, is the portion allotted to the average mortal. If this one aches and will not work properly, it is worse than none. Then the stomach is Mamed, or the kidneys and liver are censured. Hut as a fact, the blood is solely responsible for the condition of these organs. ‘Purify it and they will be made healthy. The natural blood purifier and ionic Is Hood's Sarsaparilla, h has been 44 tried” and never 44 found wanting.” Stomach Trouble—"/ v>as run down and suffered severely from stomach complain!.
