St. Louis , which bun never been recog nised as a publishing center , Is undertaking a work under the direction of Fred 1 * . Kaiser that would bo worthy of nny city. It Is the publication , In ten volumes , of "Tho World's Best Orations , " edited ( by David J. Ilrewer of the United States supreme court , Tbo first volume Is now nt hand and unices subsequent volumes provo disappointing It will bo a work of the greatest value. The intention declared by the projectors of .the work Is to mnko a "documentary history of civilization" by giving In full tbc great his- tcrlcal orations of the most highly civilized countries "from Dcmosthcnca to date. " The Idea Is certainly a bold one , but the scope of the Initial volume promises that 'tho ' work will not bo Inadequate to Us demands. By giving In full such orations as "Demosthenes on the Crown , " tturko ; "Opening the Brl- bory Charges Against Hastings , " Chatham ; "On the English Constitution , " Webster ; "Replying to Hayno , " John C. Cnlhoun ; "On itho ! < \ > rco Hill , " Samuel AOams ; "On the Declaration of Independence , " "Cramner's Speech nt the Stake , " "Harrison the Regicide's Speech on the Scaffold , " and the great speeches of Ersklnc , Curran , Pitt , Danton , Mlrnbcau , Kossuth , Cicero , and others whoso names will bo suggested by three , the work promises to supply the student and the general reader what has never been accessible a really representa tive collection of mn&torpieccs of oratory , Illustrating the history , the literature , the science , the ethics , itho philosophy of the great periods of ancient and modern civiliza tion. In the opening volume , ns one of the typical orators of the earliest of those periods the Athenian wo have Acachlnce , the rival of Demosthenes , whoso protest against crowning thai greatest of all orators for hlfl services to the people of Athens led to the public trial at which Demosthenes do- llvored the greatest of nil orations the Do Corona or speech "On the Crown. " The work Is arranged alphabetically , on the plan of an encyclopedia , so that nny orator can be found at once. As a result of this most con V venient arrangement , Cjccro , Cato and other representatives of the second great period of classical civilization the Roman will ap pear In the later volumes , but In their alphabetical order In the flrat volume , the post classical , medieval and modern periods arofully _ represented. In his preface Justice Drawer says : "Though special promlnenco has been given to Anglo-Saxon oratory the work Is not a inoro collection of English- speaking orators. Its scope Is truly Inter national and representative us far as Is pos sible of the development of those great Ideas which have developed civilization. Wo "have " not confined ourselves to any one pro fession or field of eloquence , " continues Jus tice Brewer ; "tho pulpit , the bar , the halls of legislation , and the popular assembly have each and all been called upon for their con tribution. The single test has been : Is It oratory ? The single question : Is there eloquence ? The reader and the student of every class will flnd In these pages that which will satisfy his particular taste In the matter of oratory. " The work Is printed In n style that would do ( honor to London or Paris , and is Illustrated with full page photogravures on Japanese paper. It Is sold lOnly iby eiibecrlptlon and -It is. said' to bo 'mooting an extraordinarily favorable recep tion. Ferdinand P. Kaiser , St. Louis. "History of the World , Earliest Peoples , " by Zenalda A. Ragozln , ins just been pub lished , and though finished several months ago , comes 'with singular appropriateness In view of the recent report of the committee of seven of the American Historical associ ation ( on the "Study of History In the Schools" ) , which recommends that histori cal Btudy | should begin with a 'brief history of the peoples of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys the main subject matter of the volume just issued , to bo followed by her almost complete "Early Egypt.

In cidentally , handbooks of history of ancient art. As euch they are used in the school of architecture of Columbia college. All fictitious Illustrations , such as prehistoric men , etc. , .which are eo common In even what ore classed ns the ibettor text books , are prohibited. In tbls 'work ' she has been given generous rein by bor publishers , 'as will .bo econ by the completed' ' volumes. In the first part of 'her "History of the World.

Prof. Muller Is not only ono of the greatest authorities OD the nclcnco of language that the world has over known , but Is also n most voluminous Author , to whom hag been given the power of writing most entertainingly on eclcnttdc subjects. In the preface of the present volume ho says : "In some caecs my recol lections go back very far , nnd , after a lapse of nearly seventy years , they may not always bo so fresh aa they ought to < bc. It Is very strange , on looking back to the various stations through which we have passed In our Journey through thla life , to find how much our own fate lias depended on our surrounding and on circumstances over which wo ourselves could not poealbly have had any control. Our friends , nay , even our enemies , seem to form part ot our life , and thus It has como to para that , Instead of writing my own life , I have almost uncon sciously como to wrllo about my friends rather than about myself , AH to enemies , If , Indeed , I ever had any , I prefer to be silent , for It Is difficult to bo quite fair In speaking of them , and wo seldom know till It Is too late what real benefactors they have been to us. * The flret volume of my 'Auld Lang Syno' contained recollec tions of musicians , poets , crowned hcndu and beggars , such as had not entirely vanished from the camera obscura of my memory. The present volume Is chiefly devoted to my In dian friends and to certain events that first led my attention to India. " Thceo words of the great philologist will servo OB a hint of the character of the work , which will bo found of Interest to every person with a liking for the niysterlro of Indian science , language and philosophy. It Is a volume ot 300 pages and of attractive appearance. Charles Scrlbner's Sons , Now York. Cloth , $2. John Allan Wycth , who was a soldier In a cavalry regiment belonging to General Nathan Bedford Forrest's command , has written a llfo of that brilliant leader of the confederacy. Dr. Wyethwas for two years In a position -where he saw much of General Forrest and was enabled to form what should bo a very Impartial opinion of his ability aa a soldier. That he learned to ad- mlro the Intrepid leader Is plain all through the work. 'Among his notable achievements ho enumerates In his preface his escape from Fort Donclson ; the desperate charge which saved Beauregard'e army ifrom Sherman's vigorous pursuit after Shlloh , In which ho was severely wounded ; the capture of Mur- frccsboro with Ha entire garrison of In fantry nnd artillery with his small brigade of cavalry without cannon ; the charge on and capture of Cotiurn's Infantry at Thomp son's Station ; the capture of the garrison at Drentwood and his relentless pursuit of Strelght's raiders , which ended In the sur render of these gallant union soldiers to Forrest with less than one-half their num ber. Further on In his preface the author says : "Tho farther my Investigations pro ceeded the more I became convinced that whllo Forrest was Justly acknowledged to bo ono of the mast famous flghters and leaders of mounted Infantry or cavalry which the -war produced on either side , he was more than this , and that a careful and unbiased statement of his achievements would place him In history not only as one of the most remarkable and romantic per sonalities of the civil war , but as one of the ablest soldlcra of the world. " The author haa unmistakably been most conscientious and painstaking In the collection of data for hla Tvorkwhich covers not only the military career of General Forrest , but goes Into the details of hla llfo as a private citizen as well. It Is a voluminous work nnd really a complete history of that portion of the civil -war in which General Forrest acted a part. The Illustrations are both numerous and very good. Harper & Bros. .

Recent AVorUn of Fiction. "Tho Carpetbagger" Is the title of a new novel by Oplo Read and Frank Plxley. In ono way , at least , It Is something decidedly out of the ordinary. Many plays have been made from novels ; this Is a novel made from a play. "The Carpetbagger" origi nally was written aa a four-act comody. It was performed for thirty weeks during the theatrical season of 1898-9 , under the management of Mr. Tim Murphy , and met with a very favorable reception. Encour aged ( by the Interest which the public seemed to take In the play , the authors de termined to tell the story for the benefit of the eenoral reader. The authors say : "Don't search your histories for the carpet bagger herein Introduced. He Isn't thero. Our carpetbagger Is not ono who really was , but ono who might have ( been. We have not written history ; but -wo hove told much truth , a virtue which not all history pos sesses. The character of Melville Cranco Is consistent -with the tiroes In which ho lived , consistent with the Yankee nature with that of any man who , though gone astrj , knows the road1 that leads back to hopeety , " The story dn Its present form Is even more entertaining than it was In the form of t play , and readers who admire Oplo Read's style 'will enjoy It thoroughly. Laird & Lee , Chicago. Cloth , $1.00. Cy Warman's latest effort at story-telling Is In the form of on attractive little volume bearing the title of "Tho White Mall. " As Its name would Indicate , It Is a story of railroading and railroad people. It la en tertaining In plot and the telling of It Is cleverly done. Two little Irish boys are the leading figures and the story concerns their rise In railroading , the ono from mule driver nt the water tank , the other from flagman , One becomes prominent railroad president , whllo the other wears himself out working for the good of organized labor. A faint suspicion of a love story runs through the pic * , but does not assume a leading role until near the dose. The story Is given a local coloring throughout by the mention of well known railroad Unco , much of the action being located on the Vandalla , while the Chicago & Alton , Union Padflo and other linea are brought In , Chapter XII. begins ; "Omaha hung out the flrst flag on young McGulro an bo hurried westward nnd the venerable president of the Gould system In the west recalls with pride that Tom McGutre was ouce an operator In his ofllCB at Omaha. " A little later , utter Me- Gure | had learned telegraphy , he was ap pointed station agent nt Plalnfleld , where bo experienced many adventures , terminating at last in an attack on the station by Sioux Indiana. But Major North , with hla famous I'awneo scouts , arrived Just In tlmo to save the horo. It Is a story that any one will enjoy reading and especially railroad people ple , who can appreciate more fully than the general reader the " " "railroading" which fur nishes the main features of the plot , Charlea Scrlbner's Sons , New York. Cloth , J1.25. Freeh from the pen of Ewan Martin cornea a new novel , "The Knight of King's Guard. " The tulo la one of love and ad venture , laid In the romantic period of the fourteenth century. The hero Is of the very humblest order , but distinguishes himself for bravery and valiant deeda of daring. From a page he rises step by step until be finally becomes Knight of the King's Guard , a brave company of soldlero. Those who love chivalry , fighting and Intrigue will find It In this 'book , and of good quality. The scene Is laid at a border castle between England and Scotland , the city ot London and on the French battlefields of Crcssy and Portlcrs. The romance is semi-historic , as Edward the Third , frioen Phllllpa , the Black Prince and Bertrand du Gucsclln are all historical characters , accurate descriptions of whom glvo llfo and vitality to the ro mance. The story Is well written , drawn to the life nnd Is a sprightly talc of adventures redolent of mediaeval times. A pretty love tale runs'throughout the book and gives a delicate touch to the etory that will un doubtedly be pleasing to all readers. One may close the book with n wish that the author would write more romances ot the hletory ot a tlmo with which he knows how to deal so well. L. C. Page & Co. , Boston. Cloth , n.GO. "My Scottish Sweetheart , " by Charles Heckle , Is mainly the atory ot the visit of a young American to the Scottish Highlands a half-century or more ago. These who are fond ot pretty descriptions of scenery and realistic pictures of the simple manners and customs and the hearty hospitality and sturdy honor ot the Scottish people of that time , and also fond of the Scottish dialect , will bo especially plcaecd with It. For the others there Is a love story , and one not of the ordinary sort or with the conventional ending. F. Tennyson Neely , New York. Paper , 25 cents.

SEVERING TIES THAT BIND Divorce Cases Load Down the Docket of the District Oourt , MISFIT MARRIAGES TO HAVE AN AIRING UiitiNiiiilly 1,11 rue \iniilii-r or .Suit * for Divorce- Arc HcltiK Hroii lit , Ie- Horlloii IlcliiK tlic Principal Glume fur Complaint. Just at this time the dockets of the dis trict court are being loaded down with dl- vorco suits In which talcs of suffering caused by desertion and cruelty are alleged. In eomo Instances alimony Is asked , but as a rule the aggrieved party feels satisfied It ho or she Is granted a separation from the matrimonial fetters that gall as well as blud. Hannah Livingston seeks a divorce from Robert Livingston , alleging that without Just cause ot provocation he haa deserted his bed and board and left the woman of his choice to earn a living as best she can. Samuel Stewart alleges that his wife , Hattlc , has tired of her home and has gone away. Ho adds In his petition that he has always used his best endeavors In sup plying the table and making homo pleasant In fact ho declares that the separation Is not duo to any fault of his. Mary Wlpf asks the court to grant her a decree on the grounds of cruelty. She al leges that her husband , John , has treated her In a shockingly bad manner and that she can no longer live with htm. Martha Dunn alleges that William Henry Wilson Dunn has deserted homu and family and refuses to contribute to her support or return and make his peace. She avers that the desertion has been without cause , as she has always been a true , obedient and loving wife. In applying for a divorce Mary Stewart alleges a marriage of forty-three years' | duration. She tells a tale ot hard luck and alleges that Thomas Stewart deserted his home some time ago and without leav- , Ing'anything to aid in supporting the family. * While not a divorce suit , Mary Hcnsman has brought an action against John D. Han cock , wherein she seeks to acquire some of his property. She alleges that he promised to marry her , but has failed to keep his pledge. In view of the defendant falling to carry out his part of the contract , the plaintiff says that she has suffered greatly in both body and mind and Is almost a total mental and physical wreck. To alleviate her sufferings and restore her peace of mind , she thinks that she should have $10,000 and that Hancock , who Is alleged to be wealthy , should contribute the sum. The case wherein Bertha Gladwln is I charged with having fractured one of the biblical commandments by loving too well a man other than her husband was called be fore Judge Maxtor. The defendant waived examination and was held to appear at the present term of court. The bond was fur nished and the case will bo called before Judge linker within the next few weeks. ' In Judge Baker's court the case of the State against Isaac Spencer Is on trial. Joseph Astleford , a young man who started out to see the city by gaslight , avers that one evening last Juno be was down on the lower end of Capitol avenue and while there was assaulted and robbed ot a small sum of money by the defendant. In the civil section of the district court business Is Just as slack as It was during the first of the week. Lawyers arc not ready with their cases and consequently they go over. The judges express the opinion that very little business will bo transacted until after election and there Is something of a sentiment In favor of adjourning court until November. In the case of the state against Mlko Onn- non the Jury has returned a verdict of not guilty. Gannon was charged with burglary. The case of the state against Mlko Gurnlsh and John Smith , charged with burglary , has been dismissed and stricken from the docket. Ray Glvcns and William Kehl , charged with burglary , have been arraigned nna havs entered pleas of not guilty. Abraham G. Reed , charged with grand larceny , upon being arraigned entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to one year In the penitentiary. Stanley Day entered n plea of guilty to the charge of burglary and was remanded to Jail to await sentence.

Poynter , Lincoln , Neb. : Dear Sir I take this opportunity to write you a letter and add evldenco concerning the poor manage ment of Superintendent Dawes nnd the op pression which the poor and unfortunate deaf and dumb girls at the institution bad to suffer , the most dreadful which tyranny could Inflict. I am a graduate of the school and in a position to know that Dawoa' conduct of the school the last two years entitles the deaf to sympathy. The pupils could learn themselves more without him than with niui present , they knowing his Ignorance of the sign language and having no confidence In him.

The school has never been Improved since Dawea took A. J. Olllesptc's place as superintendent , and now the school seems to be helpless to benefit the deaf children , leaving them without an opportunity to acquire an edu cation. I do not understand why cx-Oov- ernor Holconib appointed Dawes as super intendent of the Institution , an when he first entered the school he clearly demon strated that he knew nothing about how to conduct It. Ho frequently asked Mr. Clem Deaver , the steward , to give him assistance when he was having trouble with the management. As yet ho has only learned n little of the sign language nnd makes him self ridiculous every time he attempts to use It. The older pupils often asked for experienced teachers , and ho raid new teach- cre will come "soon , " but this was llko many of his other false stories. The confusion continued until some of the pupils grew tired nnd left the school. Many of the parents have declared they will not send their children back to school until Dawes is discharged and a new superin tendent appointed. Pupils cannot be fittedj under Dawes' management to enter college nt Washington have to take special In struction at a preparatory school at their own expense , while the schools of other states , having competent management , send their pupils to the college at Washington. I positively believe the school will grow poorer unless Dawes is deposed. I have met several boys and girls who have begged mo to tell you everything about the school and I am certainly willing to help them. They declared they will refuse to go to school until a new superintendent Is ap pointed , nnd they especially wished to have Mr. Clem Deaver to bo superintendent , for his experience In talking In the sign lan guage Is thorough. He was discharged by the unimportant superintendent Dawea without doing anything wrong. This was only done for politics and because Dawes was Jealous of him. There are many other secret things which you do not knew yet at the Institute. Dawes has no conscience. When ho appoints deaf people to work nt , the school he agrees to pay certain wages , j but when pay day comes be gives them less. : Why should the deaf always get such lit-1 tie money ? They do the work as well as the other employes. While the hearing pee ple's salaries arc advancing theirs remain the saraie. Whenever Dawes goes to Lin coln ho always gives you the Impression I that the school Is getting along nicely , but I Instead It was another oae of his stories. | Every one Interested In the education of the deat have been disappointed In the work of this school the last two years. Two sweet little boys have been killed and one more died with typhoid fever because of Ig norant attention. The people who know about the school think it might as well be abandoned as to bo continued under Dawrs' management As n sample , last fnll before school opcncA Daweg wrote letters to the parents of the children , telling them he would establish a new department that hn would supply a barber's chair nnd tools for those who wished to learn the barber's trade. Soma of the older boys wore niiNinus to learn , but when school began ho bought an old , rick ety barber chair and no tcols whatever. When ho was asked for tools ho suld re peatedly , "Soon ! " but "soon" never came ; ho only gave the bojs bis nnclcut nnd dull razor. The barber chnlr was put In tUo boys' bedroom nnd might ns well have never been bought. 1 respectfully hnno that you will consider the evidence against this Incompetent superintendent.
