CHAPMAN , 105 and 107 Main bt. Mannwa'n Auspicious Opening. As previously announced , yesterday was the time set for the opening of Hotel do Manawa and the lake generally for the sea son of 16S9. During tlio day but few visitors took advantage of tno half-hourly trips of the Manawa motor trains to visit the lake , owing to the dust and strong wind , and at 5 o'clock there were very few people to bo scon of the grat crow.l that was oxpjuted. At that time , however , the wind foil con siderably , and soon after the stream of humanity began to flow toward the lako. Until utter II o'clock the south bound oars were tilled to overflowing and cumo back empty for other loads that were waiting to follow. The hotel was hardly to be recog nised in its bright , now colors , and the great Improvements about the grounds In the way of walks , lawn , shade trees , etc. , combined to render more complete the wonderful transformation eftccted thcro since last sea son. Landlord Tninisica was seemingly present everywhere , looking after the comfort of each and every guest. It was evident at first glnncn that hn was the man for the plnco , and thoroughly under stood the art of conducting a summer resort hotel in n manner to satisfy oven the numer ous demands of a critical public. It was not , however , until the doors of the dining hall were thrown open at ( io'clockthat the full realization of the fitness of mine host for his position dawned upon the minds of the assembled hundreds. It was like entering another sphere. The decorations of the room weio of a nature both unique nnd beautiful. Opposite the dour was n largo "Welcome , " wrought In 'tvorgreens , upon the wall , and upon ull sides , as well a : from the coiling , wora artistically arranged tlguros la Jap anese funs and parasols. The laruu pillar in the center of the room was almost hidden from vlow behind u mass of vines nnd llcw- crs. On the tables and in various places about the room wcra groups of cut flowers and potted plants , the whole burdening the air with a rich and delicious fragrance. Covers wcro laid for a hundred guests , and waiting to attend to thnir wants were a do/en colored waiters , faultlessly attired. It wus a sc'cijo not soon to bo forgotten by thu-favorcd ones , whoso uycs Ural fell upon Itbeforo thn rush and hurry of hungry guests had marred Its nerfoc.t arrangement. The menu was most elaborate and was got ten up In u highly artistic nnd pleasing mun- m\r \ , and the guests carried them awuy us beautiful souvenirs of the occasion. Space forbids extended mention of the countless hikclous dishns prepared by the capable chuf. Dinner was served to the constantly nrrlvldg guests until after 0 o'clock. KarJy in the livening the parlors wore cleared for danrlng , nnd until long uftoy midnight the visitors tripped the light fantastic to the delightful strains of 1'rof , Halter's orchottra , which furnished muslo for the afternoon and uvenlng. Over two hundred people were present from Oiriului , nnd oxprcssud their umumlllicd delight - light and appreciation. The ocraMori w.is more than was expected , and opens the season at the lake in a manner - nor so fur in lulvunce of nil former attempts us to admit of no comparison , There was u noticeable absence of disreputable or unwel come characters , nnd thU feature will char- DCtcrl/.o 'tho season of IHiO ut Manawa. An an owning tho. occasion was an unquali fied suci'oss , nnd ns a pleasant loclnl event It wus far biipcilor to many more pretentious affairs In swelldom.

The author of "Littlo Lord Fauntlo- roy" has created a great reputation for herselfand in this , her latest novel , it is fully sustained. This is a bright romance in which the passionate nature of the Spaniard Is delineated with picturesque - turesquo ollect. The scene is laid in Madrid. The heroine , Popitiitt self- willed , tempestuous girl of the humbler class , when introduced to the reader , is possessed of a vivacious and joyous na ture , with a distinct antipathy to the amorous overtures she is continually re ceiving from the men in her neighbor hood , owing to her fascinating beauty. In spite of this avowed antipathy , however - over , she at length surrenders her heart , after a very obstinate struggle.to the superior power of Sobastiano , the favorite matador of Madrid. Popita's behavior to Sobastiano would discour- ngo an American lover , but her appar ent coldness only fans the llamo of the Spaniard's passion , yet ho at ono time loses all hope , owing to Popitn's unpre cedented conduct at a bull Herat. When Sobastiano.ut the most exciting moment of tlio conflict , throws the doviua into Popita's lap. she deliberately scorns the honor by publicly stamping on the rib bon. This action on her part is possi ble , no doubt , but bearing in mind the fact that she was a true Spaniard , such treatment of the dovi'aa appears voryim probable. The humbling of Popita'aproud spirit and the ultimate avowal of her fierce love for Sebastiano , is beautifully told. The splendor and excitement of a bull light in Madrid is graphically described , The plot is not peculiar for any origin ality , except in the dramatic intensity of the incidents developing it. The story is related with the piquancy and agreeable simplicity bp characteristic of the author. The illustrations are good in design , but the engraving is poor. Divoucn , or FAITIIFUI. AND UNTAmtrui , , by Margaret Leo ; Frank F. Lovell & Co. , New York , The plaintive cry , "Is marriage a fail ure ? " has become wearisome oy the monotony of repetition. Ono man's af firmative is answered by another man's negative , and so the controversy is sus tained without much benefit to society in general. 'Margaret Leo , iu this novel , has apparently desired to show what a terrible failure can bo made of marriage under certain conditions. Tlio heroine , Constance , is high souled and sensitive , with a sweet disposition altogether a very lovable girl though hardly a reality in this so-called prac tical itiie. Her purity of purpose shines resplendent , resembling some star con spicuous for its brightness in an atmos phere reeking with subdued immoral ity , where separations and divorces arc discussed as lightly as a change in the weather. Such is the New York society in which Constance moves. Un fortu nately , she passionately loves Gilbert Travcrs , a very handsome , magnetic and intellectual man , but also a mass of egotism and selfishness. Ho finally dovclopes into a repulsive brute. Con- stunco is young and invests him with all the attributes of her ideal ; she marries him solely bccauso of her great love for him ; ho marries her for love of himself. Such a union is productive of the usual results. When the husband's passions arc aroused by the fascinations of another woman , Constance , unable to cast out love for her husband , suffers inconceivable tor tures. Ho deceives her to the end , when the refinement of cruelty is at tained by his contemptible method of obtaining a divorce without her knowl edge. The story certainly illustrates the evils oxi&ting in society of the present day , but the public require no novel to impress that fact , as the law courts fur nish ample opportunity for studying our social immorality. The author oilers no remedy for the disease , but only la ments the legal facilities for obtaining divorces. From the incidents related , it is diffi cult to ducido as to the merits or do- mcritu of "Divorce Made Easy. " Matri mony is undoubtedly a very serious and sacred compact ; its success must depend on the behavior of the contracting par ties themselves. The evil in man can seldom bo cured by legislation. To those who enjoy an illustration of a spreading social epidemic , this novel will prove acceptable. Prefatory to the story is an interesting review of IU. Hon. W. K. Gladstone. AN 1. D. It. IN SOUTH ArniCA By Louise Vcfci-rtllus Sheldon. Frank F. Lovett Si Co. , Now York. Refused Two Future { 'rcelilnnts. Among the r curious coincidences gathered by the Roligio-Philosophical Journal is that two girls from the same small Ohio villingo rejected two future presidents of the United States , and both for the eamo cause poverty. Hayoo was ono of the suitors , but the parents of the girl opposed the match on the ground that ho showed hardly sulllcient ability to warrant trusting their girl iu his care. Gnrfield paid at tentions to the other , and again the parents objected that his future pros pects were none too bright. Bedford , the village in question did not at that time contain elK ) inhabitants. But in Ohio a girl runs great risks of refusing a president when she declines any hultor whatever. The coincidence would bo stronger if it had occurred in some stnto where the lightning strikes less unex pectedly.

What the Gorman government therefore claims Is , In the first place , satisfaction for the killing of the German ofllccrs nnd sailors In the action with Mntnafn's men on December 17 lost ; and , secondly , compensation for losses * sus tained by German investors nnd own ers of plantations. If , therefore , the United States will purchase .tho planta tions owned by the German company , or the Siimonns themselves purchase the planta tions , payment being guaranteed by the United States , Germany will not maUo the slightest objection to the Installation of Mnllctoa or some ono of the minor chiefs not hitherto named , Tntnnscsco having no follow * inn nud Mntnnfu being utterly out of the question from the German standpoint. The stnto of war , too , still nominally existing , they will probably tirgo the punishment of Mataafa , say by Imprisonment fcr n tlmo on board the German man-of-war or on the iblnnd under the German ling. Tnoy may wnlvo this condition In consideration of n , round sum being paid the widows , orphans or nearest relations of the Germans slain on the Island. The third condition , equally ncccptablo to each of the thrco powers , IB that the thrco col lectively guarantee ; the neutrality ot Samoa. In other words , Germany wishes to save the stake in the islands , and it would perhaps bo the wisest policy on the part of the United States to accept this , after nil , simplest solu tion of the dllllctilty , nnd by well timed con cessions to Germany's tender sense of honor nnd solicitude for the welfare of her col onists , make friends of bur foievcr. Well Informed German ! ; assure mo that Count Herbert Bismarck had not the slight est Intention of Impressing the English- speaking members ol the conference with u sense of the greatness of Gcrmuny at the ex pense of their own fueling when ho mndo that famous speech In French ut the begin ning of the coiifeiem-e. Ha was obliged , though ho speaks English like an English man , to uphold his right to UHO French as the language of diplomatic Intercourse. If ho had opened the conference In English the Spaniards , Italians , Portuguese and Uus- Bians might have pointed to the precedent as justitlc.ition of their right to use their own language with which ho might not be equally familiar at some future conference. Nor is it true that the two American members of the conference wcro entirely Ignorant of that language. Phclps spoke that language in diplomatic Intercourse ! at the Austrian court , and Uatcs himself assured mo that ho understood almost every word the count ut tered on that memorable occasion. At the presentation of colors last Thurs day morning to the First regiment foot guards , Kusson , Phclps nnd Hates were in evening dress mid I understand that the kaiser was graciously pleased to express his regret at tbo iron rule that insists on that costume on such occasions ns u substitute for tua full uniform. Amid that largo crowd of imperial guests , attired'Olio nnd nil in uni forms of every hue of the rainbow , the American representatives /nttmeted pener.il notice by the republican siinwlcity of their uttirc. It is safe to say that if ever thrco American diplomatists regretted the absence of diplomatic uniform in the American ser vice , these three gcntlomcq didj Two young naval ofllcors , Huckingham mnd Parker , were In full uniform , cocked huts and all , and u couple of Immlsouicr young follows could scarcely have bjecn picked out to do Uncle Sam's service credit. While it is well known that England's leanings in the conference are 7towards Ger many , on that vexed question of n secret un derstanding concerning Tongi , Sir Edward maintained ur. obstinate .silence. He ex- p.reased himself , howevcrMJn a very kindly manner' regarding the favorable impression produced upon himself and others nt the conference by their American colleagues. Sir Edward and there was no better Judge in the matter is inclined to think that an other month will see the labors of the con ference ended. He had met Mr. ICnsson be fore at the Congo conference when both o * them represented their respective countries. In Sir Edward's library there lies on n lit tle spider table near the window n large folio containing , in all the glory of gilt edges und mncrnillcent printing , the minutes of the Congo conferenco. When the Herald asked Sir Edward about how often theSamoan con- fcrcni'c would sit , ho turned to this book , und after consulting it , said he believed that now as at the Congo conference , all matters ot detail would bo referred to a sub-com mittee. "The Congo conference , " he re marked , ' 'only sat ten times during those three months. Five or six sittings , there fore , will , in all probability , sufllco to settle the Satnoan matter. " Nothing could have been more eminently gracious than the manner in which Count Histnarck received the guests at the dinner the other day in the pavilllon of the foreign oflltc , where ho makes his home. When thu time for leave taking cumo and it was a late ono , for Count Herbert is u host who will not be deniedho walked across the large garden with each ono of thu ileuart- Ing guests , while In the great trees that sur round the house the siren voices of great num bers of nightingales poured forth a volume of sweet melody to enchant the ears of Uncle Sam's republican representatives. Some people have ventured to assert that when the emperor issued his Invitation to the Ameri cans to attend the parade ut Potsdam , ho did so with u vlow to imprcBshiir them with a sense of the military power of the emperor. If so , ho certainly succeeded. "Nowhere In the world , " said ono of the naval ofilcors at tached to the commission , "can you see such absolute precision of movement , such largo musses of men so deftly and skilfully han dled.
