Of the stnid find noble senators who
nro to often described ns nt deadly odds
on political measures ninny nro warm
friends and oven chums. The benuto Is
tx body of goodfcllowBhlp ; not only thivt ,
but of rail comradeship. A senator maybe
bo nt political logpcrhcads with his
chum , but that is no bar to real com-
panion.ship ; in fact , Recording to the
Washington Post , the most noted cases
of "chums'1 have been between men of
opposing faiths.
The most famous pair of chums the
ecnato ever know were Senator Edmunds
nnd "Old Roman" Thuvman. When the
tall Vermonter and Mr. Thurman were
both senators ono or the other was always
chairman of the committee on private
land claims , which has a com
mittee room In n quiet part
of the gallery floor. They both
loved n glass -now and then , and
ono never refreshed himself without the
other. Mr. Edmunds , on starting up
stairs to immplo the contents of their
private brown jug , would stop nt the
door of the senate , give a tcrrillc cough ,
when Mr. Thurman would look up , tuko
out his big red bandanna , blow a blast
to match Edmunds' cough and nod his
head vigorously a couple of times. Then
his tall form followed Edmunds' and
pretty soon the pair would como back
nrm-in-avm as happy as if their most im
portant bills wore all signed by the
jiresldent. When the spirit fired Mr.
Thurman first the little comedy was re
pented , the bandanna giving the signal.
Talk about chums , and the first sug
gestion is "Cameron and Matt Butler. "
They have been the Damon and Pythias
of the senate for years. No ono knows
how it began or what the secret of it is.
But Cameron and Butler are insepara
ble , and when the wives of both arc
nway and the senators have to stay in
Washington Butler moves down nnd
stays with the Pennsylvania ! ! . They
nro always pointed to as an instance of
how political opponents can live to
gether in brotherly love. Cameron and
Butler arc said to liavoa perpetual pair ,
and probably if ono were taken away the
other would forget and still observe his
old pair.
Minnesota nnil Iiullnnn Mix.
Another couple is at first sight a
queer ono. It is that of Senator Tnrpio
of Indiana and Senator Davis of Minne
sota. When Mr. Turpio speaks Mr.
Davis is always to bo found close under
his nose listening to the words of wis
dom that fall from the Indiana senator's
lips. When Mr. Davis addresses the
senate Mr. Turpio returns the compli
ment and sits close to the Minncsotan
nnd takes in his wise counsels. Their
intimacy dates back to three years
ago , when the committee on Pacific
railroads rondo a trip In the west.
Both men had to go , and during the
time they managed to discover they had
kindred interests , a sentiment that few
men in the senate had. Mr. Turpie
speaks seven languages , and is a line
Greek and Latin scholar. Senator
Davis .has Greek and Latin atf his
tongue's end , and if ho addressed the
bcnuto some time in Greek it wouldn't
surprise those" who know him best. Ho
is also n most ardent lover of literature ,
especially that of ancient Greece and
Koine. This is the foundation of the
Turpic-Davis comradeship.
nuil West.
A now pair of chums appeared at the
extraordinary session of the senate.
Mr. Wolcott of Colorado has taken
Uonry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
under his wing in a. fatherly manner
that is very amusing to watch. Mr.
Wolcott is very young , but ho is smart.
The Wolcotts and Lodges nro intimate
socially , Wolcott coming from an old
Connecticut family and being a graduate
of the same stamp ns Lodgo. Even
before Mr. Ledge was elected ,
Mr. Wolcott went to the door
keeper and picked out a scat for Mr.
Lodge right close to him , where he
could keep his eye upon Ledge and guide
him with his own experience. Since
Mr. Ledge took his scat the Colorado
man watches ever him with a solicitude
that is really touching. Wolcott nnd
young Senator Dixon , who is ono ol the
senate wits , are also good friends , nnd
hinco Lodge has joined them there is a
three-cornered intimacy that is very
strong. They represent the rising , en
ergetic republican interest. They nro
three of the best orators on the repub
lican side and a trio worth watching.
j Mnlno mid Maryland.
There is a strong friendship and inti
macy between Mr. Gorman nnd Mr. Fryo
that dates 'way back to ' 811 , when they
were both members of the committee on
rules and had to organize for the conduct
of the Forty-eighth congress. They huvo
always kept up the friendship that was
started then. Nothing ever seems to
runio it , although it is something of a
cross to Mr. Fryo that Mr. Gorman does
not lisli. Mr. Gorman and Mr. Fryo
have a standing pair , and a man lias to
bo pretty good friends with another be
fore that comes to pass. The fishing is
the only drawback , but Mr. Fryo used to
make that up with Wade Hampton when
ho wan in the senate , and now that ho is
going to bo in Washington again , if ho
fuels equal to it , Fryo and Hampton may
resume their old tr.ips to the provinces
for salmon fishing. General Hampton
isn't very well , but fishing works wonders
with a man.
Fryo certainly doesn't lack for close
friends. Another resourceof his is Sen
ator Chandler. When there is a long
session , when Mrs. Fryo has gone to the
camp in Maine woods and Mrs. Chandler
has gene homo to Now Hampshire ,
Chandler sends for Fryo , and they keep
house together. Then they send for
Senator Plntt of Connecticut , who lives
nt the Arlington , and the throe spend
ull tholr spare momenta together. They
play , It is said , the simple llttio game
called "High , Low , Jack and the Game ,
of v. hich Mr. Fryo is past master nnd
1ms taken thirty-second degree at the
very least. If Mr. Fryo isn't fitted out
with chums to suit all the needs of Ills
inako-up , then ho is insatiable
Anyhow , ho has the pick of both sides.
Mauilonnn IV III ho I.oueuomc ,
Senator Manderson of Nebraska wll
bo desolate when the next emigres ?
meets and General Anson McCook is no
on hand in the chief secrotary's chair'
Mandorson and McCook are as thick as
two school girls , and their wives are the
unmo. They generally spend their sum-
inora near each other , and the two gen
erals fish nnd go on long trips together.
When Mandorbon has a moment to spuro
ho is in McCook'a ollleo , and if either
has a atory that the other doesn't know
by heart it is something very late. This
pair becomes a quintet very often with
the addition of Senator BlaukLuru of
Kentucky , Senator Squlro of Washing
ton nnd Senator Ilnwloy of Connecticut.
Of the old war horees Senators Sher
man nnd Hoar arc ns intlnmto ns men of
their caliber possibly can bo. Their long
service naturally forms ono bond , but the
strongest is that of blood , both being
descendants of old Roger Sherman , who
has given to the union morb legislators ,
probably , than any ono man of his direct
descendants.
Shoup of Idahoand Pottlgrow of South
Dakota have n common bond In their
western hustling times. Gray of Dela
ware and Walthall of Mississippi are
rather chummy.
AllUon nnil Halo Fraternize.
When Senator Halo was charman of a
committee nnd had a line room ho never
was to found there. If anybyody wanted
Senator Halo of Maine the attaches knew
that ho was to bo disc < vorcd in Senator
Allison's room of the committee on ap
propriations. Mr. Halo's room was just
as line ns Mr. Allison's ' and the senator
had nil the comforts of life nnd many of
the luxuries in his own quarters , but
then Senator Alll&onof lown was not
there , and , ns a llight of stairs intervened
between the senate and Mr. Halo's com
mittee room , the pair agreed to Hock in
Senator Allison'd apartment. They are
the soberest and most solemn looking
pair of chums in the senate.
There are a lot of thorn who have not
the attributes of comradeship. Mr. Brice
Hocks by himself except when ho finds
Mr. Gorman. Senator Stewart joins
John Chnmbcrlin and the congenial
spirits of the epicurean establishment
when lie isn't writing free silver poems
and blank verso , and there nro several
others , llko Mitchell of Oregon nnd
Jones of Nevada , who arc apt to bo in
the name locality.
The Apollo , Senator Gibson of Mary-
Ir.nd , has no need of a chum. Ho is too
much in demand with society , nnd when
ho has any spare time "Charley Gibson"
is good enough company for Senator
Gibson.
David Bennett Hill was without n
Jonathan until Edward Murphy , jr. , of
Troy appeared on the horizon , and now
the ex-governor is lonely no longer.
Most of the now senators haven't had
time to cheese their chums , but every
man likes Senator Lindsay of Kentucky
and his good nature , will make him the
privileged friend and the comrade of
the entire senate. The individual who
can resist Senator Lindsay's sinilo is
capable of any deed of darkness.
a
LOVELY LURING EYES.
IVlicro Pally Dances Will Delight Spectators
mid Kxlitblt a Grucuofllodlly Movoniciit.
Striped shawls nnd a multitudinous
variety of bangles distinguish thedaugh-
ters of northern Africa. Such was
proven to bo the case when the Chicago
contingent came to take their place in
the exhibit of the Algerian nnd Tunisian
villngo on Midway plaisanco. They have
no fault to find with nature , those Tuni
sians. Dark , lustrous eyes beam from a
face of a cop brunette hue. There is u
grace of bearing , a dignity about them
that commands respect in those who DO-
hold it , and a general air of "touch-mo-
notishncsa" that is admirable in a high
degree.
A round dozen of the beauties chal
lenged inspection in Chicago yesterday
a round dozen of Algeria's crcrno do
la crcme. They have been picked from
scores and hundreds of Algeria's finest ,
and the result is a galaxy that yields
the palm of beauty to none of the peris
of the plaisanco. There is Yamina , as
an instance. Ynmina is the danscuxo
par excellence of the party , the Ellsler
of Algeria. Mr. Bloom , who is in charge
of the display and who is fully qualified
to testify , avows that Yamina is the
most perfect specimen of feminine beauty
ever put on view in Chicago. Inspection
shows justification for Mr. Bloom's
paralyzing assertion , Yamina is a little
above woman's middle height , with just
enough of Olive in her complexion to
make her unusual , but not enough to
disfigure her exquisite physiognomy.
There is n depth in her dark brown
oycs , a depth of intelligence as well as
of ordinary , everyday beauty. Yamina
talks French like a Parisian , dances like
a premiere who has devoted nil her ex
istence to stnnding on ono too , nnd oven
in her robes of travel distances all com
petitors in form and feature. Nothing
precludes the possibility of Yamina's
marrying nn Italian count or an English
duke during the world's fair saving hoi-
own sweet will.
Then there is Baya of Tunis , who is n
shade darker than Yaminn , but who still
could pass for a dark brunet. She , too ,
will prove a cnptivatrix to the wander
ing oycs of the multitude in this world's
fair year , nnd half n dozen others \yhoso
charms will turn their white sisters
green with envy.
Mr. Bloom's taste in feminine beauty
has been most catholic. The specimens
ho brought with him squatted on the
lloor in a littlo.cirolo yesterday and re
sponded "bon jour" in their broken
French. In their midst was Ouclui , a
cool black nogress. Oucha's uvoirdti-
poise is no trilling matter. No casual
spectator would take her for a premiere
daiiBcuso. But so she is , and Mr. Bloom
is authority for the tale that she can
deposit her UOO pounds on the boards
without causing a quiver in bald-head
row.
Clinging to the knees of Khatoura , the
matron and chaperon of the party , were
her two boys , the toys of the party , at
the sight of whom Oucha's white teeth
showed themselves in ull their fullness.
With the women were thirty-eight
men yesterday. There are nil sorts und
conditions of Algerians in the party. To
M. Sillco they all look up as tholr guide ,
philosopher , und friend. M. Sillco is a
merchant in Smyrna , but the glare of
the footlights bus blinded him to his
commercial pursuits. lie is the Duly of
Smyrna the prince of all theatrical
malingers. Without hia supervision und
countenance the Algerian villngo had
boon a gross failure. Ho embodied the
confidence of the scheme , and when ho
raised his standard in Purls several
weeks ago premiers und actresses Hocked
to his side in shoals , i
Dances will bo of dally occurrence in
the Algerian villngo. They will bo of
the bonsuul orlontul order , the perform-
ortj trusting to tholr own gruco of body
movement for attraction rather than to
the poetry of motion. Men nnd women
will join hands in the performance , nnd
a Biimptuoubly adorned theatre is well
under way wherein the performance will
tnku plnco. In addition to the theatre
there is a bazaar of many shops , and a
cnfo under Mr. Bloom's particular cnro ,
where Algoriun cookery will receive a
thorough illustration. No restaurant on
the fair grounds will bo more exquisitely
finished , und ns nn olfshoot tables will
bo sot in u garden outside , where visit
ors may drink tea nnd cogitate.
ICconomy.
Whatever else you hoard , says Har
per's Bazar , do not Include in the list old
medicine bottles. The cost of these
when perfectly now is very trilling , nnd
the futility of saving them against a
pobsiblo errand to the chemist's is very
apparent. Nor should tacka taken up
when you remove carpets from the lloog
for the annual or semi-annual shakin
bo put aside for a second ubc. A now
paper of tacks should bo used whenever
u curpot in rclald.

FREAKS FOR THE BIG FAIR
Specimens with Which the Exposition Man-
ngemcnt Have Been Hooded ,
EVERY COUNTRY TOWN HAS A CURIOSITY
Whatever In of T.ocnl Fiimo In Various
Jlural DlUrlcIn M Considered liy the
Owners for Kxlilhltlon Wlilo

"And It will bo exhibited at the
World's fair. " That is the usual form
for closing n description of some provin
cial marvel , or some freak which has
filled the eye of Its discoverer with
amazement. From ono end of the coun
try to the other there have como up to
Chicago reports of curious things , or an
nouncements concerning them , nnd the
people directly in contact with the curi
osity have expressed ns their apprecia
tion of the wonder-compelling qualities
of the thing under discussion that it
would bo exhibited at the World's fair ,
says the Chicago Herald.
Perhaps 200 copies of that familiar ro-
p-int of the Ulster County Gazette ,
which contains , among other things , the
report of the death of General Washing
ton , have been carried up to Chicago and
tendered to a busy management as the
one thing marvelous for which the coun
try has long been looking. Of course
the copies are for sale nnd it is ono of
the most dilllcult of tasks to mnko the
owner believe no ono will give him any
money for the curio. Somehow the
idea seems to have gone abroad that the
World's fair was simply an exhibition of
the strnngo nndscurious things that have
been cumbering the shelves or crowding
the buildings of the rural inhabitant ,
nnd the ambition of the owner is to
bring it to Chicago and exhibit it for the
charmed contemplation of the million
visitors.
Ono day n man climbed into the ele
vator at the McNally building nnd nskcd
to bo lifted to the director general's
room. That officer was too busy to BCO
him and ho came back the next day.
That time ho conllded to the young man
in the outer ollleo that ho had a curi
osity for exhibition at the fair , and then
ho never had a ghost of a show to got
into the inner room. But the clerk
didn't tell him much , and so ho came
back day after day to see the chief ofil-
ccr. After lie had spent a. . week in the
city ho got mad and went away. Ho
told the clerk at his hotel that ho had a
fish with two tails and if the darned
Columbian exhibition didn't know a
good thing when it saw it ho didn't care.
Ho would go homo and ho would take
liis marvel with him.
Hen With n Unckwarcl Stop.
Another man wrote about twenty let
ters from Hannibal , Mo. , to say ho had a
white Leghorn hen that always walked
backwards , and ho wanted to got her a
place where she could instruct the pub
lic. Another man in lowiv had a Shetland -
land pony so small that he had her shoes
made from $20 gold pieces , and ho
wanted to place her where she could bo
seen to the best advantage. A funny
thing about it is that in each case the
local papers inform their waiting readers
that tno thing whatever it may be
will bo exhibited at the World's fair.
Some "constant reader" or "old sub
scriber" of a paper in lower Illinois
favored his local editor with n private
view of the biggest potato that had ever
been raised , and then carefully covered
it up from the sight of common men lest
ho might not bo able to cinch them into
paying a quarter for a view of it at Chicago
cage , and made the customary announce
ment that ho would como to Chicago
with the wonder. Still another Egyp
tian paper tolls a waiting world that
"Mr. Fitch Bartholamow , the popular
and successful farmer of Riploy town
ship , has a razor that descended to him
from his grandfather. It is believed to
have been used by George Washington
in Valley Forge , and it will bo taken to
the World's fair. "
A Bradford , Pa. , paper declares that
the heavy steer owned by a certain es
teemed citizen , and which has been in
the habit of winning first premiums at
each county fair for years , will bo
shipped to Chicago and exhibited at the
great exposition. A Mississippi man ,
having removed to Kentucky , and hav
ing in his possession a billet of wood
two feet long in which is imbedded
thirty bullets received in the battle of
Shlloli , is promised by his local paper a
"cordial reception" when ho takes the
curio to the World's fair. A Wisconsin
weekly paper tolls of a wonderful piece
of patclnyork by the wife of ono of "our
citizens " and concludes the
leading , de
scription with the same old story of its
destined descent upon Chicago.
There is a club-footed boy in Borrien
county , Michigan , who can whistle with
out opening his month , and ho will "bo
exhibited at the World's Columbian ex
position. " There is another boy in In
diana "who can throw a stone from a
sling with such precision as to hit a
small mark at a distance of fifty yards ,
and all without opening his oycs. His
father is going to take him to the
World's fair. " An old will in n Pennsyl
vania county which deprives the public
of the court house grounds and vests the
title in a family long known as "poorer
than skim milk nnd not any too careful
of other peoples' firewood" has been
found among the effects of a lately de
ceased lawyer , and it , too , ia coming to
the fair.
Gun and Choeso.
An old soldier in Kansas has the
musket ho carried with him from the
beginning of trouble at the sack of Law
rence to the surrender of Bragg at Mo
bile , Ho writes that ho will take 8100
and a pass to and from Chicago , good
for ninety days , for the relic. Ho adds
that he knows of lots of people who will
llko to see it. There is a machine at
Rlpon , Wis. , built by a boy of 12 , which
so wonderfully pares and quartora ap
ples that it fits no other nloho in cre
ation than that afforded by the timely
coming of the World's fair. And there
la a cheese at Republic , O. , so big that
all the neighbors and half the people
from Sjncca county will look for it at
Chicago.
Sometimes the curio rises into the
realm of high art. Thrco sisters sang
so well nt the closing exercises of u
high school in Iowa that they will4
"doubtless bo secured for singing at the
World's fair , " if ono may credit the
chronicles of a weekly paper from the
honored town. An infant prodigy from
northern Indiana , a little lad who could
rcclto "Thanatopsis" at the ago of 4 , and
who la still able to hold even largo audi
ences entranced with hia eloquence ,
though ho la not yet much past 10 years
of ago , is confidently expected to adorn
the World's fair. Tliero la a picture of
Columbua discovering America , painted
by a wee girl in the public schoola of
Carrollton , 111. , which will bo here if
the friends of the youthful artlat have
their way.
Wheelbarrow * nnd Pumpkin * .
Some things nro described with a good
deal of particularity , that no point of
their excellence may be overlooked. A
Nodaway , Mo. , man has made a jack for
lifting'wagons while the nxlcs nro in
process of grffhl/ng. / It Ifl such n euro
filler of long-folUvnutB that It IB offered
for exhibition. Another Nodnway
county man , flFWTby the spirit of rivalry ,
has Invented n wheelbarrow "that the
bottom will drop out whenever wanted ? "
nnd that , loo. l'li ] asserted by the sorely
puzzled editor-will bo on hand or
rather on the ground. A Knukakeo
man , not under ircstrnint , has made a
curious decoy Yluck which entices all the
water fowl in tho.llnvnna marshes ; nnd
ho writes that ho will , if properly en
couraged , bring it to Chicago and ex
hibit it all summer. Ho doesn't want
anything sniil { about It , for his
people think ho ought to have bettor
terms than thpso lie demands. But if ho
can get transbortntlon to nnd from the
city , board at olio of the near hotels , ad
mission to the grounds and half of the
gnto receipts ho will como. And the
decoy will como with him.
A Kansas man has a new system for
burning corn cobs in n common cook
stove , nnd ho wants to exhibit that. Jlo
writes directly to the national commis
sion and will iinvo no "truck" with sub
ordinate men ns correspondents. From
the snmo county comes n proposition to
exhibit n bquush that has lasted two
winters "and hasn't n speck on it. " And
lots of jnyhnwkcrs , it is assorted ,
will expect to BOO that symbol
of longevity in the Agricultural build
ing. A faded Hag , made in 1801 , for the
local military company , and which for
thirty years has reposed in n bureau
drawer at the homo of the donor in Battle
tlo Crcoit , Mich. , will bo sent to the fair
if guaranty for its return will bo given
nnd n good plnco prepared for its proper
exhibition.
If a man had all the letters received
by fair officials from exploiters of thcso
nnd kindred freaks ho could start a
paper null. And , if in addition , ho had
all the newspapers that in the last thrco
years have promised fame and fortune
through a conjunction of marvel nnd the
World's fair if you had nil this , too ,
you could run that paper mill to the end
of timo.
As to the letters , not one in a hundred
have been answered. But when the
projector brings his curio in person
some ono has to see him. A careful citi
zen came all the way from Paducuh ,
Ky. , with a garment 400 years old. Ho
showed it to several newspaper men and
was by them referred to the director
general. That was their way of getting
oven at ono grand stroke with both bore
and official. The man ux pooled to sco
his garment described in full in all the
Sunday papers , und was grieved when
none of them said anything about it , for
ho knew many people would bo inter
ested in that sort of thing. But , as a
last resort , ho went to the director gen
eral ; and if ho didn't make a trade with
him there is now on the way to Paducah
a very much surprised and grieved and
withal respectable old gentleman.
lllblo that Sunlvcd Fire.
There is no system in the letters , and
system cannot well bo followed in writ
ing about them. Ono describes a bible
which went through a fire ' 'whoro every
thing else in'thehouso was consumed
and it left lying unharmed on the parlor
table. " The next tenders the services of
a "lucky stone" that was never , known
to fall. Nine months ago the Fourth of
July oration of a speaker in Clay county ,
Indiana , was promised a place in the exposition -
position , and soinoAvhcro near it may bo
expected the recipe for making vinegar
which has proved so popular in Dodge
county , Wisconsim A printer down in
Missouri has , setf "thrco columns of
leaded long primer in n day , " and his
employer is sodolighted _ with him that
lie bespeaks fdr hi $ speedy compositor "a
place and a chance to show himself in
the World's fairJJ ,
Some country editors catch the humor
of the craze. An Iowa county auditor ,
who made a mistake in his figures , dis
covered ithimbolf and made good the loss
to the public , is promised by his local
paper a sure place in the World's fair.
The Mankato woman who stopped Jed
Brookor when ho got on u whirl is con
sidered worthy a place in the exposition.
A delinquent subscriber to an Indiana
paper , who'has lied about paying up till
the editor got out of patience , is pub
lished as the biggest prevaricator in
the world , and urged for a place in
some competitive examination at the
World's fair. A railroad engineer who
knocked a calf off the track with force
enough to kill its mother is spoken of by
a Roodhouso paper as a fit candidate foV
honors. And a gravel road contractor
who promises to finish a highway be
tween two Iowa towns by the Fourth of
July is pledged a section for self-exhi
bition nt the fair if ho keeps his word.
The man who could gather together
the things that have DOCII offered for
public view nt the fair would have u col
lection of freaks bigger at least than any
harbored in ull the dime museums of
the country. But as the fair is to be a
show of quite a difi'ercnt character , all
those marvels will doubtless bo left with
out the gates.
TREASURE tTNEARTHED.
The Loot of 1'IrntoH Found on a Texas
Island.
For several weeks a party of workmen ,
under Henry Shannon , a Quintala mer
chant , and Charles Newman , a coast
trader , have been searching on Padre
Island , Tex. , for a treasure , said to have
been buried there moro than a genera
tion ago by smugglers , slavers or pirates.
Mr. Solomon Ciovoland , a prominent
citizen of Volasco , returned from Padre
Island and reports the searchers much
encouraged by finding a number of
ancient foreign coins and medals of un
known value at a spot marked upon an
old parchment chart that is said to have
recently come , by accident , into the pos
session of Shannon and Newman. The
party is now engaged in locating the
other places marked on the map. This
.is very dilllcult to do because of the con
stantly shifting sands on the Island , and
the cutting oil or adding to the banks
by the action of the sea currents , >
About eighteen or twenty years ago an
old sheep border on the Island stumbled
upon a cache of several hundred gold
coins and took them to avillacroon ; the Rio
Grande , where ho was robbed and mor
tally wounded by Mexican bandits.
When found ho > barely had life enough
loft to toll of his loss and express regret
at not being ubfqo return to the Island f
where ho bald lie , loft a wagon load o'
silver bars ana money that ho intended
removing as soon ins ho could got a cart.
Since then many individuals and parties
have prospected there without success ,
but the present haunters nro convinced
that their newly discovered chart will
lead them to fortunes. Mr. Cleveland
bays all the ooina and medals1 ho saw
were made boween 1000 und 1780. The
workers are keeping their movements as
secret as possible , and had been away
from Volusco boveral weeks before any
one knew where they were , and they
were not much pleased to sco Mr. Cleve
land , who was on the island on business
and mot thorn by chance.

authorship. In the line of social nnd eco
nomic problems wo find "llailway Tariffs , "
"How to Introduce the Initiative and Refer
endum" nud "Women Wage-Earners"

"Monte Carlo" is the tltlo under which
"ono of its victims" endeavors to get even
with the world by victimizing the reader
under a flashy title to a rcallv dull and unin
teresting volume treating the dry mechan
ism of rules and methods in which Its dead
games ot chance nro played. The games at
best are for Idiots nnd but for the fascina
tion of largo sums of money changing hands
would be very unattractlvo indeed. N. C.
Smith & Co. , Chicago.
"Tho Conquest of-JVIoxIco and Peru , " by
Klnnhnn Cornwallis , is a long story in blank
verso. What object the author has gained
by reciting this historical narrative in verso
wo fail to perceive , us it not only becomes
moro tiresome to the reader , but detracts
from the force and dignity of the subject.
The very essence ol poetry is force und con
centration is absolutely essential to the
psychologic effect. It is well written and to
such readers as favor story in verso will bo
a treat. The Dally Investigator , Now York.
"Aro Men Gay Deceivers ? " Is the title
under which Mrs. Frank Leslie writes in hoi-
usual racy style a deep philosophy of nothing
and bits of serious nonsense. As to the title
"Arn Men Gay Deceivers ? " nobody cares
about the decision and ouly the entertaining
of the car and the casing of the mind with u
pleasant , gossipy gurgle of words renders the
fact nt all acceptable. F. Tennyson Neely ,

" 1'ho First Millennial Faith" Is n con
sensus of historical evidence to show that
the "satisfaction" theory regarding redemp
tion originated with the- monk Ausclm ut
the close of the first thousand years of the
Christian church. It Is a book of much
interest to theologians , but to the everyday
thinking world it points out the place of u
ford to a stream that Is already perfectly
dry ; it is the formal grant of a concession
which progress 1ms already incidentally
achieved as the result of broader discussions.
