They arc the kind ot stories that leave a
pleasant Impression on Itie mind , The qualIty -
: Ity Is unusual nnd the method ot tolling

"Tho 'Paths ' of .tho . Prudent. " by J. 8.
Fletcher , Is not nt nil like "When Charles
the First Was King. " by which wo have
best known the author. It has a much
lighter theme , which Is selected and treated
< simply "to amuse , thouch the story hag Us
moral If wo take .the mains to look for It.
, The theme In quite original and odd. In the
i first clmpter wo are Introduced to a "Pro
fessor of Phrenology" on a lecturing tour , a
picturesque character who knows how to
t wear his hnlr and clothes to attract moat
attention and bring most shillings to bis
pocket. By Invitation ho calls at the "Homo
for the Upbringing ot Prudent Maidens" to
exnmlno their heads. IJut this Is only the
iprccludo to the comedy which has to do
with one of the graduates ot this queer In
f stitution. Miss Dorlnthln Kvadno Clementine
Annwell. She has been an apt pupil ot her
eccentrlb teacher and she proceeds to put
her principles Into practice as n barmaid
In n nubile house In Yorkshire. 'All ' senti
ment lifts been eliminated from her nature
nnd she permits the men to fall In love with
her simply to carry out her sottish ends.
The author sets all the amusement possible
out of the situation. L. C. Pace & Co. ,

"The Kingdom of Hate" Is the title of n
novel by T. Gallon , which has been issued
ns part of Apploton's Town and Country
library. Mr. Gallon has proved his Im
aginative quality In bis previous books , but
"Tho Kingdom of Hate" shows more
vividly than the others the arresting effect
of Imagination , romantic , but controlled ,
which Illuminates the dramatic possibilities
of modern life. This power , which Stevenson -
son and Hope have Illustrated In different
ways. Is shared 'by Mr. Gallon , whoHe new
novel Is absorbing without resorting to the
cheap sensationalism , singularly stirring
and effective without a descent Into
the melodrama , and sympathetic with
out sentlmcntallsm. Mr. Gallon has
i made his mark already and "Tho Kingdom
' of iHate" will raise the question whether
the time of his "arrival" Is not close at
hand. D. Applcton & Co. , Now York.

verso by Grnco Ellcry Channlng , which cer
tainly merlin a friendly- reception at the

of the verses are decidedly plcaclng and
display considerable originality on the part

not strictly original , It Is certainly handlml
in a deft and original manner. Another ox-

A popular edition of "Equality , " Kdwnrd
Bellamy's ' great work , has been brought out.
The great Interest shown in "Equality , " na
the fullest exposition of Mr. Bellamy's social
and economic beliefs , has been Intensified by
the progress of events since the original
publication. Recent rapid developments in
the methods of business aeem to have been
foreseen by the author , and , -whether the
reader agrees with his deductions or not ,

ance with the desire expressed by tbo au
thor and shared by his family the present
poptilar edition of "Equality" is now pre

edition. The biography gives some , extracts
from some previous -writings of the author
which Illustrate the profound sympathy with
which all his work is permeated. Whllo the
reading public is very familiar with the
writings ot Mr. Bellamy it may be of inter
est In this connection to mention a few facts
regarding the author's life. He was born
In Chlcopeo Falls , Mass. , in 1850 and died
at his home In the spring of 18D8. Ho was
educated at Union college and was admitted
to the bar In 1871. His Inclination , however ,
was for literature rather than for the law.
For several years ho was engaged In journal
ism and story writing. He published his
first book In 1877. D. Appleton & Co. , New

"On the Birds' Highway , " by Reginald
Hobor Howe , jr. , is a work for the lover of
nature. It breathes of the woods , the fields ,
the eeu , the ponds , the streams , that to
gether constitute the birds' highway. Ho has
reveled with nature In the winter und the
summer. The birds have been to him. a
solace that is not found In the more con
ventional world that la known to everyone
who is doomed to dwell In the cities , but
out of'tH * comparatively unftnown world ho
baa contrived to make bis 'own , and which
ho lies put Into his pagca. He > has got
ten & charming world of pleasure that moro
than repays the seeming chcerleee ventures
Into the winter 'woods , among the summer
beeches and along the August sand dunes of
Ipswich. If there Is nothing Inspiring in
nature to lure and allure , the parting of
the enow In order to penetrate Into nature's
sanctuary is wearying. The sweet notes of a
flock of goldfinches gleaning a morning meal
In truly boreal sfylo will fall on dull cars.
A flock of crows that flap slowly by , their
dark shadows betraying them on the snow
will seem commonplace. The song sparrow
will sing to himself of the spring that la to
be without heed. The blue jay , the rcd-
I shouldered hawk , the nuthatch nnd downy
and . number of chickadees , n flock of winter
| robins feeding on the vermllllon berries of
i tbo black alder of the- brook ; all these and
others similar will bo without pleasing slg-
I nlllcance unless ono Is tuned In harmony

fgnorantly thinks that urban life holds

DISORDER AMONG DEMOCRATS
Three DcrcIoiinicnlN In the Situation

CHICAGO , July 18. Three political
developments stirred the democrats In Chicago
cage yesterday. Ono was the refusal of
Mayor Harrison on account of Its ' 'obscure"
origin to attend and deliver an address of
welcome at the Auditorium frco silver meet
ing on Thursday night. The second was a
verbal notice that the democratic national
committee would bo asked to repudiate the
Croker-Hlll-Murphy machine In New York
and recognize the silver crowd. The third
was the statement that an effort would bo
made to have a rule adopted that no man
who bolted the Chicago platform and ticket
In 1806 shall bo eligible to elt in the na
tional convention of 1000 as a delegate.
On arriving at his olllco In the city hall
Mayor Harrison found W. P. Coolings , in
vitation to make a speech of welcome to tbe
assembled local and visiting democrats on
Thursday night. He declined the proffered
honor. Efforts are being * made by the Harrison
risen leaders to Induce as many ot the na
tional comraltteemen as possible to Ignore
the meeting. It was uald that fully one-
half of them would not gcTu'car It. They are
being Informed of the purpose to influence
them Into doing eonlkmajj hlch does 'not
' '
properly come within tn'e'scppo of the com
mittee's functions.
The Altgeld forces have been reinforced
by the Chicago platform democrats of New
"
York. Willis J , Abbott , the first emissary
to arrive , reported at headquarters In the
United building In the afternoon. He cornea
as one of a committee of the ellvcr party In
New York , to appear before the national
body and get a lioaring ns to what the situa
tion Is In that state. James n. Brown , who
was toastmaster of the "Dollar dinner , " and
George W. Thompson are the other members
of the delegation. They will arrive today.
Mr. Abbott said that a great majority of
the rank and file of the party in Now York
is in favor of the " 16 to 1" issue and of W.
J. Bryan for president. "Croker , Hill and
Murphy , the leaders , " Uo continued , "are
opposed to free silver and Bryan , but they
do not represent the sentiment of the ma
jority of the voters. "

HURTS DELAWARE INDIANS
Oomplain of an Attempt to Hob Thtm of
Homes and Improvements.
WHITE MEN ARE AFTER THEIR LANDS

WASHINGTON' , July IS. ( Special Corre
spondence. ) Certain Chcrokces nnd inter
married whlto men , relatives of the consti
tuted authorities of the Cherokee- Nation ,
liavo secured mineral leases from the eald
authorities covering the homes nnd im
provements ot the Delaware Indians , and
they have subleased the same to citizens ot
the United States. These citizens claim to
liavo expended some twenty odd thousand
dollars in putting down eighteen wells , nnd
for thin reason they claim a preferred right
to lease from the secretary of the interior
over 180,000 ncres of land , covering most of
the homes ot the Delaware Indians , without
respect to their rights nnd without their
consent. A number ot protests have been
filed against the granting of these leases
nnd calling the attention of the secretary ot
the Interior to the exact condition of affairs ,
begging that no action bo taken until the
courts fully determine the rights ot the
Del n , wares and congress provides a remedy.
R. C. Adams , himself a Delaware' Indian
and their representative , eays that ho wrote
the letter to the .Indian Rights association
which caused so much comment , but that
ho did not suppceo that It would be given
out for publication. However , ho says he has
nothing to retract In his appeal for aid and
for moral support in defending the homes
of the Delawares against the encroaching
greed ot grasping syndicates who are seek
ing to deprive them of their rightful liber
ties the right to control their own. Mr.
Adams said :
'It'n ' a Grcnt PuXzlo tn Him.
The Delaware Indians nro more able to
take care of their property. If given the
opportunity of controlling It , than most of
the while people who live In their country.
There nro many things civilized laws and
public policy say are right that I canont un
derstand , but the greatest puzzle to mo Is
why Is the Delawarcs' tltlo to their lands
now disputed and they required by the gov
ernment to appeal to the courts to obtain
that which they bought nnd paid for .vltu
the advice , approval1 nnd guarantee of the
United States government itself. Now , l > e-
fore that question la settled by the courts
they are threatened with oven greater com
plications. Possibly it Is because I am nn
Indian that I cannot understand this parley.
The faith my people have shown , the prompt
aid and assistance they have rendered the
United States government in the past us
allies tn the Revolutionary war , ns soldlns
and scouts In the Mexican nnd Civil wirs , as
guides for General Fremont across the
Rocky mountains , as peacemakers between
other Indian tribes -ud the Federal govern
ment , and the prolition afforded by them
to the colonies In early days , all these aio
enough of themselves to entitle them to
moro land in bounties and grants , fifty
times over , than the land now In question ,
which they bought nnd paid for.
In 1890 the Cherokee delegates fully
recognized the Delawares' tltlo to the lands ,
and in a communication to the senate com
mittee on Indian affairs , they declared they
had no rights or interest In it. The same
year the chief of the Cherokee Nation , J. B.
Maycs , and delegates , addressed a communi
cation to the committee on Indian affairs
asking that the United States government
pay out per capita to the Delawares the trust
fund , almost $1,000,000 , belonging to them ,
and the reason assigned , for this request was
tint the Delawarcs might be enabled to
make permanent Improvements upon their
homes in the Cherokee Nation. This large
sum of money was paid out to the Delawares
according to the request and the Delawares
used the same in making good and substan
tial homes.
An investigation revealed the fact that the
Dclawarea have excellent homes and moro
than 100,000 acres of land in cultivation , al
though numbering less than 1,000 souls.
Their land Is rich with valuable mineral de
posits , such as lubricating oils , gas , coal ,
etc. Representative Davis says this Is their
misfortune , since they are Indians , because
they have no money left In the hands of the
government , and , if deprived of their rights
In the Cherokee Nation , they are paupers.
If , however , the Dolawares should succeed
In winning on the lines they are now fightIng -
Ing they will bo among the richest people in
the world.
Find They Are lit n Unil Hole.
As Is known , the Chorokces are the
wealthiest nation of Indians In the world.
They have a largo fund In the hands of the
government , and this has been made larger
by money contributed by the Delawnrcs ,
who claim an Interest In the fund , but have
no means of obtaining any portion of It to
defend what they contend for as their rights.
In a word , the Delawarea find themselves
in a bad hole. They are disarmed , having
by purchase and improvements invested
over 11,000,000 in Cherokee lands under the
guarantee of the protection of the govern
ment , as well as eacrcd pledges made by the
Chcrokces.
The now almost extinct tribe of Indians are
confronted with this startling condition of
affairs and , nro making vigorous efforts to
have themselves righted. If tbo government
decides that the companies or syndicates
have preferred rights to lease over 180,000
acres of land , embracing' most of the homes
of the Delaware Indians , and upon which
they have expended moro than $1.000,000 ,
then they are practically paupers. Ropro-
eentatlve Adams says that the claims of the
would-be lessees that they have expended
about $20,000 , and If compelled to lose It
they would bo forced to a great hardship ,
should not bo taken Into consideration when
It Is remembered that they are trespassers
and should be compelled to ipay the Dela
wares damages , llo says that the full-
blooded Cherokees are friends of the Dela
wares and oppose any further leasing of
lands in the Cherokee nation , but that It
Is the mixed bloods and Intermarried white
men In combination with capitalists from
tbo states who are trying to pauperize the
Delawares.
The fight Is on and Mr , Adams Bays that
whllo ho has spent largo sums of money
and made many personal sacrifices In defending -
fending the rights and protecting the Inter-
csts of the Delawarcs , ho proposes to keep
it up. He BBJH that ho has reviewed their
history and tbo events ( elating to them and
their dealings and that ho has not found
one thing which could possibly tic construed
as a discredit to them.
