The testimony which Gadsden will give Is

was willed originally to his oldest son,
Joseph Samuel Miles and other children

llOIMHIICC,
Several times mention has been made In
these columns of the magnificent set of
volumes being brought forth by Doubleday,
Page & Co. and containing Esther Single
ton's "The Furniture of Our Forefathers."
Parte 1 and II have been reviewed at length
and part III Is now at hand. The frontis
piece Is a fine engraving of the kitchen In
the Hancock-Clarke house in Lexington,
Mass., and the whole part Is devoted to
early New England, to Imported and home
made pieces of the seventeenth century.
As has been the case with the two preced
ing parts the Illustrations arc very fine, the
character of the furniture and the most
minute carvings being plainly brought out.
The descriptive matter is pleasantly and
Instructively written and all the compli
mentary things that have been said regard
ing the first two rarts can be applied with
equal propriety to the present. Esther
Singleton's work should not be overlooked
by any person who admires the quaint nnd
the artistic In house furnishings. Double

No more picturesque character than
Richard Croker Is to bc found In American
life. His career and personality are vividly
portrayed by Alfred Henry Lewis in the
biography Just Issued by Life Publishing
company. It not only follows the man from
tho beginning of bis life through all the
vicissitudes which have nttended him as n
politician, but gives a close study of the
sensational events of his private life, In
cluding the story of the murder of which
he was acctised. Besides this his personal
and political associates are vividly de
scribed and a thorough Insight Is given Into
the organization and methods of Tammany
Hall. Mr, Lewis has an original nnd power
ful style and the story loses nothing In his
way of telling it. He will be remembered
as the author of "Wolfvllle" and "Sand
burrs," two books which have had a large
sale, and more lately as the editor of the
Verdict, the illustrated weekly on whtch
Mr. Oliver Belmont rode Into congress In
the last campaign. Mr. Lewis has had the
advantage of close personal association
with Mr. Croker and the other leaders of
Tammany and writes as one having au
thority. The coming municipal campaign
In New York will be tho fight of Richard
Croker'a life and Mr. Lewis' book will

Cassoll A. Co. have added to their
National library a translation of Xeno
phon's "Memorabilia Socrates." This
translation was first published tn 1712
and was made by Edward Bysshe. Xcno-
phon was one of the greatest writers of
ancient Groece, a pupil of Socrates, a man
equally skilled In the uso of the sword
or the pen. No soldier ln the whole world's
history ever accomplished a greater mili
tary feat than did Xenophon when he led
10,000 Greeks out of Persia, and tto his
torian ever wrote, a better account of mili
tary exploit than Xcnophon's description
of his retreat. The "appearance of tho
"Memorabilia" In English will be welcomed

thoroughly at home, while Phoebe Lyde
