Since the first settlements within the terrl- jo tory of the United States up to within very n , recent jears , there has been a long frontier line extending from the English possessions on the north to Mexico on the south. As the frontier was steadily pushed westward ly there was a never-ending struggle between lo clvlllratlon nnd savagery , with all the at- > a tcndant tragedy ot border warfare. Many Of volumes describing the various phases of llfo nnd adventure on the frontier have Id bocn written , some of them facts nnd others id fictions. If they were oil collected they would make a library ot no mean proper tions. The tldo of Immigration that has been pouring Into the west has at length Wiped out the north and south frontier line and writers of the future will bo compelled to draw upon the past for their scenes and n events. Still , vvo have left to us the Moxl- 10 can frontier , and N. A. Jennings has chosen S ° it as the sccno ot his now etory. "A Texas Itangcr ; or , the Narrative of the Adventures of ft Younc Man on the nio Qrando Fron tier. " The author of the book Is engaged In newspaper work In Now York City , and . is widely known among journalists as a j * man of marked Individuality. His work U thrilling as a border romance , and besides , y Is of Interest as belnir the only history of a body of troopers who were In many ways the prototypes of the now' famous Rough Killers. Charles Scrlbnor's Sons , Now York. "Paul Carah , Cornlshman , " by Charles Leo , Is a strong sketch of a peculiar peoplo. Paul returns from America , after eight [ t years , thlnklnc to receive a warm welcome , but ho la treated an n foreigner. Only one b roan elves him any genuine greeting. This Is old Jose , known ns Jog'fry Jose , from hla habit of ornamentlnc his walla with maps , made with great care and no common skill , after his day's work. In this place Paul finds n homo with Jose and Jennifer , his laughter. Ho forms a partnership In fish ing with an old deaf nnd dumb man. and prospers until In an evil hour ho Is Induced g to go Into smuggling by n local Shylock. The natural end comes , hut ho Is saved from six months In Jail by Jennifer , who forces P f f& 5l's ' tempter to pay his fine. Paul returns , without knowing who has saved him , and | l goes back to America , ignorant of the love ho has Insnlred in Jennifer's heart. The merit of the story lies In striking pictures of Cornish life , the admirable way In which the love of Jennifer Is described and the skill with which she conceals It from Paul , as vvall as In the superstition which hangs llkoa dark clou'l over the whole otory. There Is much Cornish dialect , but It Is easily understood. D. Appleton & Co , , New York. Cloth , $1. Intensely modern Is the new murder story l > y Uandall Irving Tyler , entitled "Tho Now Goddess. " There Is , It eeoms. evolu- , tlon In murder stories as well aa In every thing else. Those who read Tyler's "Four Months After Date , " and said the book was clover , though perhaps weighted down with business transactions , will find lu his new work a novel drawn In a now vein but full ot dramatic climaxes. To bring liome the thoughts It contains to many who never road murder s'orles , Incidents nre used fa miliar to all who have followed the recent poison cases. The tltjo , ns will Do readily understood , applies to the moro serious side of the novel , which has to do with prose cution for capital crime ; hut there Is a well- handled romance running through It all , the denouement of which Is satisfactory. To those who are fond of that class of litera ture It will prove an interesting work. Btuyvesant Publishing Company , New York. Cloth $1.00. paper 50c.

In addition he was given every fa cility possible by the family of Mr. Muller , which , combined with the author's enlhuil- asm nnd love of the work , hfts produced a biography worthy cf the distinguished Christian worker.

The author Is evidently a deep thinker and n man of wide experience In worldly matters. Educated for the law he became a major In the civil war and scon after found himself at the head of a largo system of city schools , then a university pro fessor and still later a state commlfJloner of education In Ohio , where he wai a zealous advocate of manual training schools. Dur ing the last fourteen years he has been the owner of a largo fruit , stock and grain farm In Georgia. During much of his life he has been a Sunday ohool and mission worker. The thoughts of a man experienced In such widely divergent walks of life could hardly be otherwise than valuable , but lack of space will not permit of an attempt at their analysis at the present tlmo.

Moulton , professor of English literature In the Uni versity of Chicago , Is at hand. The stories are In the language of scripture , altered only "by omissions ; these are suitable for all ; the notes and Introductions only for older children and teachers. This present scries falls Into two natural divisions the llfo of Jesus and the Acts of the Apostles. The author has evidently taken creat care to avoid In his notes anything that might Insinuate doctrinal Instruction. The two volumes of stories , that Is the one at hand and the preceding volume , "Old Testament Stories , " are Intended as ground \\a.n \ of bible history. When , In the story form , the ground has been covered os a whole , the same particular section may be chosen for study. Thus the reader covers a general field by vivid selections and then pursues a restricted part of It with fulness of detail. Dr. Moulton has undertaken n task of no mean proportions , 'but ' one that he Is able to carry out with great -skill. 'His ' efforts are bound to result In a better understanding and appreciation of the high literary char acter and 'beauties of the scriptural writings. The Ma&mlllan company , New York. Cloth , 50c.

Storke , instructors In Greek and Latin in the Cleveland West High school , Is different In some essential points from every other designed for be ginners now in use In our schools. Its aim is to make the pupil's first year's work In Latin one of pleasure as well ns profit. To secure this end no pains have been spared to keep the Interest of ths pupil constantly awake by the variety of the work and the attractiveness of Its presentation. The vo cabulary Is made up largely of words com mon to Caesar , Nepos and the Vlrl Romao and has been selected with great care from those found most frequently In these sources. It furnishes a good Introduction to the reading of each of these books. The noun and verb have been treated for the most part In alternating lessons. Their forms have been analyzed In such a man ner as to glvo partial guidance and help to the pupil In committing them to mem ory. It would seem as If a book of this kind would save much useless drudgery In the first year's Latin work. The American Book company , Chicago. Cloth , $1. "Eutroplus , " edited by J. C. Hazzard of Portland academy , Is designed for school use. The Brevlarlum of ' 'Eutropius" treats of the history of Rome from Its foundation to the death of the Emperor Jovian.

These qualities glvo this book a de cided advantage as n reading text over the "Lives of Nepos , " whose style is frequently Involved nnd obscure and farther removed from the standard of classical Latn | than that of Eutroplus , although the latter lived some 300 years after the author of the Lives , The American Book company , Chi cago.

Such eminent Amort- can editors and writers aa Joseph M. Rogers , Laurence n. Greene , M. A. Lane , O , Seneca Jones , Frederick Logan and William Mathewa Handy have contributed to Its suc cess. Marshall S , Snow In the Introduction writes most entertainingly of the study of history. He says "History , to t' ' : living , U not the chief function of language , butte to the unborn the handing down of history will be by far the- moot notable of our deeds. Whoever , then , adds to this heritage that Is to bo transmitted to the future , throws himself wisely upon the gratitude of a race which will rapidly grow more generous and appreciative. As wo may easily perceive the desirability of stores of knowledge for tba futur * , * o wo may by that measure also ' value our own opportunities of peering Into the past By means of history wo who are limited In life to a few decades may dwell upon the experience of our own kind for sixty centuries.

'CONTROVERSY OF PAINTERS One Faction Brings Suit Against the Other for an Injunction , DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH THREATENING I'lnliitirr * Claim ( lint Intimidation nuit Vloloner Ilm c Ilrcii 1 nod to Them from Secur- miilo ) inoiil. The controversy between local painters that has been productive of several per sonal encounters and considerable police i court notoriety , has been taken Into the die- trlct court on the application of ono of the factions for an Injunction to prevent their ' f opponents from Interfering with them or ] trying to jirevent them from securing em ployment. The Injunction Is applied for by Charles J. Meyer , Edward L. Roberts , Ed ward Rlley and Bert Nichols , and the de fendants nro William H Bell , Arthur C. Smith , Bert Btiah , Ncls Svongnrd , Harry Side * and William H. Russell. In their application for an Injunction the plaintiffs assert that they me members' of local union No. 101 of the Brotherhood of Painters nnd Decorators of America , and that this organization Is recognized by the American Federation of Labor ns the ofllclal organization of this class of labor. They allege that the defendants assume to repre sent local union No. 109 , but th.it this 01- ganlzatlon has no charter nnd no recognized right of existence ns a local union of the j Brotherhood of Painters nnd Decorators. According to the petition the defendants represent themselves ns afilllated with a na tional association that has headquarters nt Lafayette , Intl. , but this organization Is not recognized by the Federation of Labor or by any competent labor authority. It Is then declared that the defendants have used threats , Intimidation and violence lence to prevent the plaintiffs from securing employment or from continuing the em ployment that they have begun. The plain tiffs complain that they have been waylaid nnd assaulted , that their lives have been threatened nnd that they have otherwise been subjected to arbltiary and Illegal per secution. Consequently they ask the couits to enjoin the defendants from further In- terforencn with them or their employment.

Ills Attempt to A cl MI HIMa ( "IINC < ) > IT l.-.O Other * IH Not Pcrmlttril. The arbitrary action of County Attorney Shields In endeavoring to force the prose cution of the Dennlson gambling cases by Jumping over nearly 150 older suits , In many of which the defendants are In Jail await ing trial , was defeated by Judge Baker's ruling yesterday afternoon. Incidentally the court mildly criticised the apparent delin quency of the county attorney In neglecting Jail cases , and declared that some of them must bo taken up and disposed of before these of moro recent origin nro consid ered. ered.Tho The Dennlson eases were suddenly called by Mr. Shields , as soon as the Craig case was completed , and Attorney A. S. Ritchie , who appeared for the defendants , protested vigorously against such unprecedented ac tion. Ho declared that as these cases i\cre practically the last on the docket and there are numerous other gambling suits , ns well as other Important felony cases ahead of It , he had not expected any such radical advancement and was not ready to go to trial. Ho contended that the action of the county attorney In forcing these cases out of their proper place was extraordinary and unfnir. Ono of tha defendants , Mr. Nestle- houfae , had not even teen notified that his case was to be cnlled at this time and the county Jail Is full of defendants who oie unable to get ball and who are thus kept In Jail , when they are entitled to a trial in their proper order. The county attorney Insisted that he Is himself the autocrat to decide when cases shall be tried and he declared that he had a right to try Dennlson any tlmo he anted to. Ho excused himself for not calling other gambling coses on the plea that the county commissioners had refused to pay the cost of bringing a witness from Buffalo , N. Y. Judge Baker suggested Hint It was his de sire and It had always been the practice of the court to have ih Jail cases disposed of as teen as possible. Ho declared that & number of old cases In which the defend ants are in J ll were being sidetracked In favtr of comparatively new casts In which the defendants are out on bond There Are over 100 cases on the docket that were be ing arbitrarily passed In tlie present In stance nnd he thought that It would be Im proper to spend n week or two weeks on the more recent cases when the others are etlll pending nnd the defendants nre lying In Jail. Deputy Dunn attempted to help his su perior out of the muck by declaring th t none of ths older cases nro ready for trial and ho nlo Insisted that It Is the exclusive province of the county attorney to say when nnd how cases fhould bo tried. This was followed by a eomowhat ex tended colloquy between the attorneys nnd the court In the course of which Judge Baker cited n number of Jail cases In which the witnesses nnd tlio nttcineys were all In court and ready for trial , but they had been put over In order that the Den nlson cases might bo forced In nhead of them. Dunn continued to Insist strenuously that the state had the right to force ( tie case to an Immediate trial , but Judge Baker sug gested that when the attorney for the do- feiifio had represented that he was not ready for trial and his own docket showed that this UASO wns being forced In eliend of 150 others the court would bo taking n rather serious responsibility In forcing It to trial. It wns doubtful whether , If a con viction was secured under such cltcum- stances , It would stand In the supreme court. County Attorney Shields asked the court to Inform him what other case should bo taken up , nnd Judge Baker ndmonhtiod him thnt n little more courtesy nnd n little IOFS sarcasm to the court would be appreciated , In conclusion ho declared thnt under the circumstances he would not consent to force this case ahead of so many others that wore ready nnd that the county at torney must proceed to clenn up the docket. Link ItcIciiNcil from UuHioniiIlitUt > , Judge Powell has Issued a decree In the suit of Charles Knl against John C. Drexel , Harvey Link nnd Preston Reeves on n bond given some years ago In an appeal to the supreme court. In the original case Ka ! secured n Judgment against Uroxcl for $1,052 , nnd Link nnd Reeves signed the bond j given when Drexcl annealed the case. The decision of the lower court wns ofllrmed and Kni then brought suit for the amount of the Judgment. Link declared that his name had been signed on the bond without his knowledge , nnd this view was apparently concurred In by the court. By the decree Link Is released from responsibility , but Drexel nnd Reeves are held. Suit for IHvorc-r. Johanna M. Llndgrcn has sued LarsP. .

She also asserts that ho has abused and Insulted their chil dren and that he refused to let their son Albert go to school after he was 11 years old , but put him to work nt such heavy tasks that his health was permanently Im paired.
