'Joseph Znltmmnh," liy Edward KIhk,
presents Ronio vivid pictured of tlio dark
uldoof iifo in Now York City. Tlio
"sweating" pyRlom us treated by tlio
graphic pen of thin writer, nppcnrn to Ira
n terrible lnntitutlon, but Mr. KIiik
timkoH it no mnro terrible tliiin it really
Jb. And the awful mlnory and despora
tlon of tlio uuoniployed! These nro not
overdrawn in tlio HtlrrlnK chapters ot
"Joseph Zulinonuh." Only hint week a
New York paper contained an account
of thedifitroHtt anions tlio Hebrew cloak
inakero that reads like a chapter out of
Mr. King's book. Tlio following Ih an
extract frorti a re)ort of a meeting of the
unemployed held a few ilujH ago:
"Talk about tho Hebrew riots," con
tinned tlio speaker. "Tho congressmen
who inako tho laws would inako more
bloody riotH if tlioy had no work and no
money. What him Huron Hirsch done
for us?"
"Nothing! Nothing!" said tho audi
enco. "Ho has given somomilliousof dollars,
and and nobod) knows who has it. Wo
haven't. Tho American law punishes
us if wo commit suicide, but it lots us
fltarvo to death. You can starve accord
ing to law. If you tako a loaf out of a
fltoro you aro a thief."
"A thief! a thief!" shouted tho audi
ence. Hero attention was drawn to Kniuiu
Goldman. Sho appeared to bo able to
breatho tho frightful atmosphere in
comfort, and looked quite cool.
"If you aro hungry go and get bread,"
eho said. "Tako it it no one will give it
to you. Join tho demonstration of the
unemployed, under the black flag."
Sho paused a moment, and then
fihrlokcd:
"Tho black ilag. I sny! Lot thut bo
your banner in tlio hunger parade."
Joseph Zalmonah is a leader of his
people, who tries peaceful methods for
obtaining relief, while most of those
around him are inciting to anaicliy.
Around tho sombre llguro of tho self
sacrificing labor-leader aro grouped
many interesting ones David, the
purveyor of historical plays, lien Zion,
tho old und humorous little peddler, who
fancies himself also a leader of people,
Mordccal, tho singer of popular ballads
and tho oot of tho people, Freier, tho
typical oppressor, Munassch, the old
orthodox Jew who has come too lato to
a world too now; and others of less Im
portance will all fix tho reader's attcn.
tion and stand for representative types.
Loo & Shopard.
Nathan Haskoll Dole departs u long
way from tho conventional lines of novel
writers in his latest book, "Not Angels
Quito." His plot is simple enough,
tho untangling of a pair of engaged
couples and u readjustment oil a basis
of natural fitness, but the treatment is
decidedly novel and clover. Tho charac
ters stand forth like silhouettes, so dis
tinctly aro thoy drawn, and tho scenes
aro "impressionist" pictures.
Aside from tho interest of tlio story,
the reader will bo entertained by tho
glimpses of tho social institutions and
lads pf Boston. Tlio city is sorved up
Jn every wuy rousted, broiled, uud
Jiashed-on-toust.
Tho scenery throughout is beauti
fully dono. A yacht cruiso on the coast
-of Maino, with which tho action closes,
is a picturesque poem. A numbor of
original poems aro scattered through
tho book, a largesso quito unusual
with novelists.
It is a wholly modern book tin do
.sicclo in method and stylo, and will in
terest tho younger iconoclasts who aro
tired of tho old models. Leo & Shop
jird. Mrs. Sanborn whoso first novel "Sweot
:and Twenty" produced so favorable an
impression has written u now one entitled
"Paula Ferris" in which is shown a
decided step in advance. Tho writing
tshows mastery of English, as well as
(broadening tho mind, accumulated ex
perience. Tho reader at onco feols
.confidence in his guidoand follows tho
tory without question.
Tho heroine is (naturally) a flno wo
man but with a foible;and having allowed
Jicrself to bo admired, is dangerously
near falling. With tho shifting of tlio
wono to a northern region, and tho
.coming in of a gruir ami powerful male
cousin, tho tomperaturo falls, serenity
returns, and penco with honor roigns.
It is a charming book to read at tho
.mi-shorc, or in a hammock, or under a
.shading tiee in. in tlio country. Leo &
'Shepaul, boston.
"A Singer Fiom tho Sea," will bo
.found to bo quite in tho usual stylo of
Amelia E. Ihirr. This uuthor has many
.genuine admirois. Sho appeals, it may
1)0 truo, to u certain class, but then,
what author does not? Ilor stories
.abound in action, and while thoro aro
plenty of people in her books who aro
not insipidly good, tho general tendency
.is wholesome. "Denus, tho daughter of un

Tho latest addition to Dodd, Mead &
Co.'s "Makers of America" series is a
lifo of Thomas JefTerson by James
Schouler, author of "History of the
United States Under tho Constitution."
Tho career of tho great Virginian is
sketched with grcut lldelity, and withal
in a manner that is distinctly attractive.
JefTerson as a farmer, as a lawyer, as a
statesman, is depicted with cleverness
and precision. There is an occasional
side light on contemjiorury Virginia lifo
-a period fruitful in great characters,
and an intelligent summing up of coinci
dent events. Mr. Sehouler's sketch of
JelTcrson Is a valuable contribution to a
most important series. For sale by W.

"Phlneas Finn," by Anthony Trollopo,
Is a thoroughly enjoyable novel. Phlneas
Is a young Irishman who enters parlia
ment and In a few yearB becomes under
secretary and approaches very near to
real gieutness, only to abandon his politi
cal career before ho is barely in his
thirties to settle down in Ireland as In
spector of poor houses, because ho ro.
fuses to surrender his convictions, and
because ho has married Mary Jones, who
is a dear, good llttlo girl, but who 1b not
at all suited to associate with dukes and
duchesses, prime ministers and lords mid
ladles, as lib has been in tho habit of
doing. Phineas is very real, with his
good impulses and his weaknesses. Ho
is a hero who Is not all nobility, like so
many heroes. Ho does a number of
fooli h things. Ho falls in love alto
gether too frequently. To bo sure ho
goes back in the end to Mary Jones, his
tTrst and humblest love, but only after
ho has laid vain siege to tho daughter of
an earl and to u beautiful heiress. Tho
glimpses of English political and social
lifo are interesting; tho characters aro
deftly drawn, and Mr. Trollopo'B style,
which perhaps now and then too closely
approaches the vernacular, is in tlio
whole pleasing. "Phlneas Finn" is pub
lished in three pretty llttlo volumes by
Dodd, Mead & Co.; for sale by H. W.
llrown.
Will tho Elsio books ever como to an
end? Their publishers, Messrs. Dodd,
Mead & Company, adviso us that it is
not probable so long as tho juvenile
public clamor loudly for a now volume.
Each year, as tho time for its appear
anco approaches, a host of inquiries
rush upon them from tho author. The
new volume this season tho nine
teenth in tho seriesis called Elsie at
Ion.

Could I suspect such a mnn an Mint of

It's all right enough to say I ought to
havo known better than to go with him,
but put yourself in my place. Docs It
seem possible that a bad man would want
to present you with n gilt edged Bible
worth fci"f Wo wnlkcd side by side for a
good ninny squares and Anally turned into
n doorway nud ascended n (light of stairs
and entered n small room. There were five
Bibles piled up on a counter Just such
Bibles as my friend had described. He or
dered n narrow minded young mnn to put
ono of them hi n box nnd nddress it to mo,
charges prepaid. I was expressing my
thanks in n broken voice when a sad faced
young mnn called our attention to the fact
that lio was nn agent for a Cubnn lottery,
nud that ho would bo rejoiced to see us hit
tho corporation for about (30,000. I thought
It real kind of lilm to express himself in
Mint wny, nnd I frankly told him so. That
seemed to please him, nnd after that. I
think ho leave mo his full confidence.
The dear friend who had brought me to
the Bible house didn't seem to take any in
terest In hitting ttO.OOO. in that lottery
Mint is, ho didn't for tho first few minutes.
It was only after tho sud faced young man
bad explained bow much good we could ac
complish in the nnme of charity with such
a sum of money Mint he threw oil hi
mantle of Indifference nnd took mo nslde
for a private talk. Ho said wo hud struck
a soft snap and that It would be almost
criminal on our part not to take advan
tage of It. His half of what wo struck
would bo turned over ton Chicago hospltnl,
while I might do as I liked with mine,
though I would probably remember the
orphans of New York in a liberal manner.
I believe wo bought $100 worth of tickets.
I think tho Idea was to hit nil the prizes In
tho lottery nt once and bankrupt the whole
Island of Cuba. Then we put up SJ50 apiece
to prove to the sud faced young mnn thut
wo were financially responsible for some
thing or other. My friend seemed to know
Just what to do, nnd I let him mnuage the
business. There was a drawing. It was a
drawing without any great amount of cere
mony connected with it. We didn't hit
anything. The inanuger was wirry for us
nnd suggested another trial. We somehow
missed It ngnln by a liulrhrouilth, and we
tried It again. We came within Just one

now all gone, and so we went out and
walked up and down in the gtad sunshine
nnd spoke to each other only at long inter
vals. When we finally parted, my friend
acted chilly and distant nnd left me abrupt
ly. I haven't the least doubt that he had
thought it all over nnd concluded I was
a bunko steerer.
I don't want any sympathy, I won't ad
mit that I was bunkoed. I simply met a
generous man who took mo for an old
friend of his and wanted to make me n
present. True, tho Bible hasn't reached
