As usual during the early part of Janu
ary there have been very few now books
coming to hand. Thcro are , however , some
quite recent works , n number of them of
considerable value , that cither did not ar
rive In time or were overlooked In the mass
of literature claiming attention lust prior
to the holidays. Among the works of notion
that might come under this head Is Ople
Head's latest story , "A Yankee from the
West. " Whllo the critics professed to Bee
something Incongruous In his "An Arkansas
Planter" and "The Waters of Caney Fork , "
they have only good words for his latest
production. It Is , In fact , a strong1 and con
sistent story told In the epigrammatic style
of the author. The central flguro Is a
young college-bred Connecticut Yankee , who
on the death of hU father drifts out Into
the Dakotas and becomes a cowboy and des
perado. To escape the penalty of a robbery
ho works his way eastward , and under an
assumed name rents o farm In Illinois , earns
the money to make full restitution for the
theft , and through the Influence of bis love
for a noble girl enters upon a new and
honorable career In life. The dramatic cle
ment of the story Is In the flrst Introduc
tion to the reader of the hero while In
search of work near a mall village In Illi
nois and the retention to the end of the
secret of his career In the Dakotas. His
education , reticence , Industry and culti
vated manners render him a subject of gos
sip and curiosity to bis neighbors and fa
cilitate the Introduction of o. number of
quaint and Interesting characters. Two or
three of these characters are remarkably
well drawn. The rough , shrewd but kindhearted -
hearted -widow from whom the hero rents a
farm Is a typo of Independent womanhood
not at all unusual In the farming communi
ties of the western states , and a better de
lineation of It need not bo looked for ; and
the poor old professor , whoso eccentricities
have reduced him from the faculty of a
college to a clerkship In a planing mill , and
who finally , on losing his position , sacri
fices his life , Insured for 110,000 for the
benefit of his family , Is a character sadly
real and pathetic. Rand , McNally & Co. ,
Chicago.
Another work that was of a character to
attract attention , but that was overlooked In
the revlewa In these columns prior to the
holidays , was "Pemberton , or One Hundred
Years Ago , " by Henry Peterson , a histori
cal romance of the time of the American
revolution. The scenes are for the most
part laid In Philadelphia and the vicinity
of Tappan and Tarrytown. Many prominent
officers In both the British and American
armies nro made to play an Important part
In the story. Among the British are Sir
Henry Clinton , Sir William Howe and Major
Andre ; among the Americans , General
George Washington , Captain Allan McLano
nnd General Benedict Arnold. The plot In
cludes a , double love story , In which two
English sisters become engaged , the older
to an American patriot , the younger to
Andre. Some of the historical events as de
scribed In the book are Interestingly writ
ten , but weary the reader with too much de
tail of what every good American and loyal
Englishman knows well. The chapters
bearing upon 'the Inception and execution
of Arnold's'lr'eason'nrid 'Andrei's sad end are
exceptionally well adapted to a historical
work , so minutely Is the whole affair de
scribed. An attractive addition to the work
are the Illustrations , the best being those of
Mrs. Benedict Arnold and child , Benedict
Arnold , Sir Henry Clinton , the Chow house
at Germantown and Allan McLane. Henry
T. Coates & Co. . Philadelphia.
The scene of "Ezeklcl's Sin , " by J. H.
Foarce , Is laid on the Cornish coast and the
chief characters are flshermem Ezcklcl
makes his living by "crabbing , " and whlk
following his work finds the body of
drowned man with a money belt on it
Through love of his daughters , whom h
wishes to sea well dressed , he steals the
money , and the book Is devoted to showing
the curse which the Ill-gotten gold brings
The story Is powerfully told and though thi
theme Is old It has original features. Georgi
H. Richmond & Son , New York.
Work * ot Fact.
To leave the world of fiction and turn ti
more real facts , a work that will be founi
of general value Is "Chandler's Encyclope
dla. " This Is a work that ought to appea
to busy people especially , because , whll
containing more than the unabridged edi
tloni of the various dictionaries of the Kng
llshjanguago , It Is brief and concise. Ther
are'lhree volumes edited by Prof. Wtlllan
Henry Chandler of Lehlgh university , as
sltted by many well known scholars and scl
ntfsts. The assistant editors are F. M
Bird , editor of Llpplncott's ; Chester V
Dietrich and Arthur S. Martin. Among th
specialists who have assisted In the makln

Tadd. It Is an elegantly bound volun

forty-four plates and 478 Illustrations ,
tbfs work Mr. Tadd describes the natui
methods of education which he has work
out during a remarkably varied experleni
Since 1884 ho has 'been ' director ot the pu
lie school of Industrial art at Pblladi
phla. also of drawing and manual tralnl
In the parochial schools of that city , t
sides having had a wide experience w !
night schools , summer schools , norn
and vacation classes. Many thousands 1
children and hundreds of teachers have ;
cclved his instruction , with a result tl
the author thus sums up : "After tweni
, two years'1 experience with all the varl <
f schemes of training we have come dote
to fundamental facti aud on these we bi
built up n method , rranonable , feasible
and without great cost , adapted to all
grades , from child to adult ; a plan that
can bo applied without friction to every
kind of educational Institution and limited
only by the capacity of the individual ; A
mcttio'1 ' covered by natural law , working
with the absolute precision ot nature Itself ;
a process that unfolds the capacities ot
children as unfold the leaves ind flowers ;
a system that teaches the pupils that they
are In the plan And part of life and enables
them to work out their own salva
tion on the true lines of drslgn and
work as illustrated in every natural thing. "
The simplicity ot these methods and the
little outfit they require , as well BS their
results , adapt them to schools or clasps
ot all kinds. Instead ot requiring costly
'buildings and expensive machinery , the
fundamentals in real manual training can
be given by the ordinary teacher during
only two to four hours a wcelt , by proper
Instruction in ambidextrous drawing on
blackboard , freehand drawing and painting ,
modeling In clay and carving in wood , along
with nature study. The carving only re
quires special tools , and a $5 set of these
( to bo bad of any hardware dealer ) suffices
for several pupils. Orange Judd Company

Few years of American history are replete
with BO many momentous events as have
been crowded Into 1898 and all of them have
been handled In The Chicago Dally News
Almanac for 1899 with a conscientious re
gard for both truth and their Importance.
A cursory glance at the table of contents
shows the * volume to contain a fair and
concise account ot the Spanish-American
war , with valuable articles on tbo Philip
pine Islands , Porto Rico , Cuba and the
Ladrones. The whole subject of the an
nexation ot Hawaii , supplemented by a de
scription of the agricultural , mineral and
Industrial value of the Islands , is given
the Importance It deserves. The movements
for the dismemberment of China and Africa
are among the pages ot the volume , while
the Jewish movement toward Palestine Is
given a place that will be appreciated by
others than the Zionists themselves. The
romance of the gigantic whclit corner ot
1897-98 , a speculation that affected every
grain market in the world , It a valuable
portion of the book. Besides these features
there are notable additions to the agricul
tural , educational , financial , political , In
dustrial , naval , military and other depart
ments of the volume. The election tablet
are full and complete , and nothing Is oml )
ted that could add substantial value to
voluminous year book for the most exciting
twelve months of American hlitory.

Three of the round-the-horn sugar fleet
are In port. They are the St. Francis , A.
W. F. Bibcock and Will Scott. The vessels
are chartered in the names of different pran-
tatlon agencies , but this is merely for con
venience , as by agreement such agency will
be represented In each cargo. The bulk ot
the sugar crop this year goes to the trust
The annexation of the Islands , with the
probability that the navigation laws will
soon be extended to them , making traffic
between here and any part ot the United
States coastwise trade to be carried on only
In American bottoms , has complicated the
problem of getting the sugar around the
Horn. None but American vessels have been
chartered for this traffic. But the number
of available American vessels Is limited. So
by arrangement the sugar ot different agen
cies will be distributed among the vessels to
meet the convenience of the tmst , which is
the purchaser.

The Dress , Suit "Warn Never So Gen
erally Worn as Now.
Have you ever thought , saya the Boston
Herald , when you were slipping on your
swallow-tall of an evening , quite as a mat
ter ot course , before going to the play ,
what a wonderful revolution has come about
of late years In the wearing ot that dressy
array ?
Your father , for instance , would not have
dreamed of such a thing as parading It at
the theater ; hardly at a dinner , where he
was In the habit of considering what he
called his Prince Albert splendor enough ,
and even that , it Is more than likely , he
felt laid him open to the suspicion of being
a dandy. One dress suit , two at the most ,
lasted him a life-time. It was fondly Im
agined to have a style of Its own , rising
superior to passing whims of fashion , and
vast was the pride the dear old gentleman
took In his personal appearance when some
occasion was deemed Important enough to
demand the full panoply of war paint and
feathers.
To the camphor trunk be went solemnly
then , drew forth his gala attire from the
depths where It had lain carefully folded
away for months , maybe for years , since Its
last display in public ; Into It he inducted
himself before the looking-glass , strutting
up and down like a peacock and Innocently
fancying that the old garments were a *
handsome as ever. Ah , you never dealt
him a more cruel blow than when you re.
moved the scales from his eyes and polntec1
out to him how threadbare and shabby and
grotesque they had become !
Ho submitted to bo taken to your tailor ,
ordered a new suit of the latest pattern ,
was fitted to It , and paid for It without a
murmur , although the price was a staggerer ,
and now when he Is dragged to an evening
reception , the opera , a dinner of his mercan.
tile club , you need not blush for him. He Is
as well turned out as any man ot his ago.
His simple vanity has received a hurt from
which there Is no recovering. Yet In fata
heart he still clings to the belief that the
old coat deserves respect and deference. Sell
It to any wandering Jew ? Not a bit of It.
Ho puts it away In the attic , lost to sight ,
but dear to memory , and there his Brand-
children will run across It some day , laugh-

TROUBLES OF A SI.XJLH MAN.
Pmbllolr DiSBYOvra a Report that He
Is Married.
Among the advertisements printed In the
Boston Herald recently , under the heading
ot "Legal Notices , " was the following :
To Whom It May Concern This Is to certify
that I am not a married man. Mr. Charles
W. Eatmon , 162 Ash street , Chelsea , Mass. ,
December 23 , 1898.
The above was not , aa som weary bene
dict might Imagine , an exultant proclama-
lon by Mr. Eatmon of his own freedom from
matrimonial ties ; neither was It , as some
yearning bachelor might believe , a shrewd
move on the part of the advertiser to put
himself in a conspicuous place as & can
didate for marriage.
It was simply an earnest and sober effort
of Mr. Eatmon to clear himself of certain
embarrassments which have been imposed
upon him by an unscruplous enemy.
The tale Is ono of romance and Jealousy
la the colored society of the south end , re
lates the Herald. The reason that has led
Mr. Eatmon to give his affairs the publicity
which will result from his peculiar ad
vertisement is that Jio desires to smooth the
course ot his affections for an estimable'
young colored woman.
Mr. Eatmon has a residence In Chelsea ,
but only sleeps thoro. His business is In the
west and south ends of this olty , and he is
brought dally In contact with many people.
He Is frank in his declaration that he de
sires to marry the young woman In tbo
affair. The courtship has attracted general
attention In the circles In which itho pair
move , and both Mr. Eatmon and the young
woman have been greatly worried lately by
repeated assertions that Mr. Eatmon Is al
ready & married man.
These stories , Mr. Eatmon asserts , are the
Inventions of an enemy of his. Not only baa
this enemy told the troublesome stories
Verbally , but he has written several letters
to friends and relatives of the young man
defaming his character.
Mr. Eatmon declares that lie knows who
this enemy Is , and that If the annoyances
continue he will prosecute him. The enmity
Is said by Mr. Eatmon to bo the result ot
Jealousy. In the publication of the od-
vertlfeement Mr. Eatmon has sought to
legally deny the stories that ar0 Injuring
him.
