"A Double Thread" Is the slmpfe title
of the new novel by Ellen Thorneycrort Fowler
ler , author of "Coaceralag Isabel CarBaby. "
ThlE fact of authorship alone would make
a demaad for the new book , but It would
easily win its way to popularity without
any r.uch advantage. It is not oftea such
a reputation as M.'SE Fowler acquired
through her previous novel is so thoroughly
sustained by a new 'jook. Her readers are
fully Justified in expecting much and they
will not be disappointed. They will find la
a "Doubre Thread" tbe same oddities of
polite character , the same elegant dialogue ,
tbe same charming 'bltfi of description iby
the "way and the same Ingenuity to con
ception and working out of the plot that
made the other story popular. None of
these characterizations oJ Miss Fowler's
work can be described ; they can 'be ' ap
preciated only by her readers. One of tbe
most pleasing of their qualities Is their per-
Icct finish. Though her plot Is peculiar and
Ingenious , It is most thoroughly constructed
and her delineations of character are per
fect in detail without resort to labored de
scription. D. Appleton & Co. , New Tork.

"Hugh Gwyeth , the Roundhead Cavalier , "
IB a novel -by Beulah Marie Dlx. It has
brcn o ! icrved that It is something out cf
the ordinary that oae of the successful
works of fiction of a season , unusually pro
lific In such , should have 1 > een written by
a young woman just out of college and
barely 22 years of age. Much of the work
on her story was done during her last year
In college. All her leisure time was spent
-working out the story of her favorite
cavalier and Roundhead subject and putting
into form her conceptloa of the red-handed
youth , with the cavalier saldier UB a father
and Roundhead maternal relatives , with
whom be bad been brought up. Tbe story
WUE originally Intended lor a hoys' book ,
which may account for tbe slenderneas of
the thread of romance or of the love fctory ,
which shows -on the surface only here and
there. It it , , however , so strong In its Inci
dents and so exciting in its situations that
It ie rightly rated as a novel. The Mac-

"In Vain" Is a new novel by Henry Slcn-
klewlcz , translated Into English toy Jere
miah Curtin. Tbe writer is so well linowa
to the rending public that anything from
his pen is fiure to receive attention. Thi.
present volume , "In Vain , " has never been
before translated Into English. That it has
'
power goes without saying. It is a story
of student life in Kleff , full of the atmos-
plirre of a Polish university and crowded
with scenes that the western reader will
find unfamiliar and Interesting. A clear
presentation of the mental power of the
students gives fullness to the character
drawing and with thlE there is a phllo-
sophlc outlook on life and character. The
new book is valuable for the author's
thought apart from the powerful climax.

An application of tbc defendants ia the
Bartify bond case for a oontlnoanrc to the
September term of ooart WHB tht subject
of a very vigorous arptmunt la Judgr Taw-
cett'fc court. Tbe attorney * tor the bondsmen -
men and Attorney General Smyth lacked
boras across the table and for a time the
argument became somewhat personal. Smyth
insisted that tbc bondsmen wrre trying ta
play horse with tbc state aad tbe defense
contended at strenuously that the bnademea
were belag unfairly treated by an effort tn
force them to trial la thr absence of their
chief counsel and without gh tag thra an
opportunity to fairly present their defense.
During tbe argument Mr. Raasom improved
tbt opportunity to take a shot at the attor-
ary gearral oa accouat of his failure to wla
out oa the two previous trlale and declared
that ao one expected a different result this
time. Mr. Smyth replied by derlarlag that
while the bondsmen had woa twice they had
bren rtvrrst-3 by tbe supreme raurt each
time , aad that their cvcatual defeat is only
a matter of time.
As previously , tie argument for a cont'n-
uanre was Imsrd OB the absearr of Geaeral
Cowla. whose legal affairs coatinur to keep
him In the east Mr. Ransom submitted a
long affidavit , setting lorth tbe facts rela
tive to General Cowln's cnforppa absence
and the nprrsslty of his sen-Ires to the
bondsmen , and supported this by offering in
evidence a stack of affidavits of a character
similar to those that have accumulated
during the previous arguments for post
ponement. The
showing Included a
telegram received from Cowln by
General Manderson , la which tbe
scader declared that no coaBldcratloa is
belag gives to his enforced abfmnce although
the case involves the possible rulB of ( tame
of our best citlr.eas.
\Vnrm Exchange * of Coni-leUr * .
This statement was the Inspiration of tbe
rather ton-id exchange of courtesies that
followed. Judge Faweett declared that be
was unable to understand why Ccwia should
make such a statemcat. The cnie had btca
postpoacd over aad over ugalB solely la
deference to Cowia aad he considered'
statement entirely uncalled for. He added
that a contlauaace until another term was
out of the question. That was settled in
the previous ruling by Judge Keyeor and
himself. It was merely a question whether
another postponement should l > e granted on
the expectation that Cowln would return
next week.
Mr. Lanahan then suggested that his cli
ents believed that Cowln would be here by
the middle of next week and moderated the
application to a request for a postponement
to that .time.
The attorney general then rose to volp-e
an emphatic protest. He satirized the
statement of Cowln and dpclarpfl that the
fact is that Cowln has shown no considera
tion to this court. He declared there Is
some one in this world besides Cowln.
although It would not seem so from the
position taken by the defense. The entire
busiaess of the attorney general's office had
been held in abeyance since tbe 1st of May
on Cowln'e account and In order that a trial
might be secured in this case. He inti
mated very plainly his opinion that the de
fense was trying to dodge the issue and de
clared that Cowln Is asking the court tnd the
state of Nebraska to wait on his pleasure
while he is taking
testimony before
an ex
aminer In chancery win lind not even the
powers of a Justice of the peace. He de
manded In vigorous terms thnt no further
delay be permitted , but that the defendants
should be compelled to proceed to trial at
once.
Attorneys for the defense replied to tbe
extent of defending Cowln und insisting
that each defendant had acted in the utmost
good faith. Then Judge Faweett called in
the jury and instructed It to report at 2
o'clock , when he would decide whether he
would graat a postponement to next week
or iaslst on an immediate trial.
At 2 o'clock Judge Faweett announced
that tbe case would be postponed to July I.
At that time no further excuse would be ac
cepted and if General Cowin was not rea-ly
the bondsmen must be prepared to proceed
with other eour.bel.
Each member of the jury wns closely In
terrogated at to whether any one had at
tempted to talk with him about the case
and the answer in each Instance was ju the
negative. The court emjihaElzed the state
ment that during these
necessary postpone
ments he was placing a good deal of faith
In the integrity of the jury and urged the
Jurors to exercise the utmost core to avoid
anything that might prejudice them in the
trial of the case.

the drowning of Joseph Koavalln , a can

company. Konvalln and a few of hiE
friends , among them being a brother older

of the evening some of them went in bathing.
Kotivalln announced thnt he was going to
Ewlm across the lake , which is several hun
dred yards in width at that point. He
threw off his clothing and dived from the
bank. He bad gone perhaps two-thirds of
tbe distance when bis comrade * saw him
throw up his hands. They knew from the
spasmodic attempt to save himself that he
vas suffering from an attack of cramps ,
but it was impossible for them to aid him.
The police were notified and Officers
Thomas and Rlegelman went to the scene of
the drowning. They procured a skiff and
some rakes with wilch to drag the lake.

WHAT WILL MERCHANTS DO

Female Lnbor Lnvr.
OMAHA. June 20 To the Editor of The
Bee : We notice your editorial regard
ing the female labor law and vlbh
to most heartily concur with the seat ) .
mentE therein expressed. We believe
thlb law to be wisely framed and we believe
that nu upright merchant of Omahn would
sock to avoid this law by sulmtltutlng men
la tbe place of female employe. For one ,
we have alwnyn kept wlthla tbe limits of
tbe provisions of this law , employing Je-
males but nine and one-half hours a day ,
except Saturduye and holiday times , when
11 fseemed impossible to conduct our but- ; ! I
nesB without longer hours. '
We ore now ready to make this proposl- j
tion to the merchants of Omaha- That nil '
stores close on Saturday at C o'clock. We
could hardly be expected to curry this out '
ourselves without tbe co-operation of otber
merchants , but wihh lo cmphitFlze tbe polBt '
that If this were done by all It would lie
without IDES of imeiueBE to any. It would
completely solve tbe prtfblem which this
law has presented to us and no one would
be the loner and all would gain by oompll-
ance with the law which has wU.ely beeB
enacted.
We would be pleased to bear from other ]
merchants willing to agree to this proposi
tion. ResjKHJtfully ,

There will be no appointment of a matron
to take the place of Mrs. Denver. Mr
Dawes has endeavored to have Mrs Dawes
Installed in that place , but the baard re-
fused to make the appointment. Mr HarriF
superintendent of tbe Institute for thf Fl-na
at Nebraska City , tried to hove Mrs HaTit
made matron of that institution , but tbe
board refused the request of the ex-li uienI
ant governor , and bad to do the rame wnh
Mrs. Dawes. In this connection tbe board
adopted this resolution :
"Resolved , That it Is tbe wnse of this
board that no member of the family of the
superintendent of either of the institutions
under our control thould be on the pay
roll of the institution. "
When Mr. Dawes accepted the pla"e of
superintendent of the institute , it Is nai < l
