Thcro Is not much danger, In Uimo days
of hot competition In tho publishing busi
ness, that a gcnluB will go long neglected.
It was only In tho days when publisher were
fow and far between that manuscripts, such
jib "Jano Eyre," went bogging. Nowadays a
publisher looks as eagerly over tho manu
script of a new writer as ho does over that
of ono Who has nlready "arrived." Indeed,
with almost greater eagerness, fcr there
ara certain pleasures that havo substantial
rewards which go with tho discovery of a
new light (n tho literary world. Thero Is
moro rejoicing In tho publisher's houao ovor
ono that Is newly found than over tho
nlnety-nlno that havo been discovered. Kor
theso reasons Miss Mary Johnston did not
wait nny longer than It took to havo her
manuscript read beforo It was accepted. Her
flrst ibook boro tho very nttractlvo title
"Prisoners of Hope" It was not only a
rcmArknblu story for a new writer, but a
Temarkablo atory for oven a practiced hand.
It was not without faults, but they wero not
serious, and thcro aro fewer In her latcBt
novel,, "To Hnvo and to Hold," which Is
Just at hand. Miss Johnston's story Is easily
tho peer of cither of tho successful historical
novels of tho hour. Her story Is moro virile
than that of many of her masculine fellaw
craftixncn, and she Is not as dlflimo ns they
nre. There Is n dash and a go about her
story that keeps tho reader In a constant
fitatn of excitement. Sho Is not qulto as
sentimental an somo of her rivals; perhaps It
would .bo better If sho were. Sho Is ovon
n llttlo moro bo In her flrst storj-, for In
that thcro Is perhaps a stronger lovo In
terest. Now that. Miss Johnston has shown
how Tlch a flcld for historic flctlon-oxists
In Colonial Vlrlglnla, It Becms strango that
no ono has 'entered It before. Hut wo may
lo well satisfied that It has been reserved
for MIsb Johnston to bring that region and
period and those picturesque characters Into
literature bo effectively ns In hor "Prisoners
of Hope," and now In "To Havo and to
Hold," both of vhlcb. have very great
present Interest and promise to hold a per
manent placo In historic romanco llko that
held by tho Waverly novels. Houghton,

"A History of tho Spanish-American War
of 1898," by HIchard II. Tlthcrlngton, 1 n
carefully compiled, comprehenslvo and rig
idly Impartial historic account of tho causes
leading to our war with Spain, tho war It
self and circumstances Incident to tho ter
mination thoroof. It la to bo noted that
the author has awaited tho official roporw
on both sides, and ho Is thercforo nblo to
present a well-founded and authorltntlvo his
tory. Omitting no detail possessing real
.Importance, It Is necessarily concise, and no
spaco is wasted in descriptive "flno -writing"
or extended critical disquisitions. Ah
nn authoritative work for reference It will
"bo found of oxcoptlonal merit, .ami Its valuo
Is materially enhanced by many excellent
sketch maps nnd n very thorough Index.
Tho long Btory of Spanluh mlBgovcrnment
nnd Cuban revolt, down to tho climax of
outrago and suffering under Weyler's rule,
Is all compressed Into tho first fifty pages;
nn exhaustive nnd accurate comparison ot
(ho resources ot Spain nnd the United States
only takes eighteen pages, and eight pages
numco for tho narration of Admiral Dewey's
marvelous Victory In Manila bay. Yet noth
ing of moment Is neglected or even treated
in a manner auggcstlvo ot Insufficiency.
Events that have been subjects ot serious
contention and citation ot authorities for
tho fixing of credit and responsibility aro
lea It with moro In oxtenso, ns, for Instance,
tho discovery and destruction of Cervora's
fleet, tho Inadequacy of our commissary de
partment, as shown at Santiago, tho evil
conditions of our hcspltal transports and
pur relations to tho Philippine Insurgents.

An educational work that promises to
KUpcraedo all ' others In many schools Is
"European History: An Outllno of Its De
velopment," by Prof. Oeorgc Hurton Adama
of Yolo. It Is nlready being used to some
extent by tho Woman's club of Omaha,
while Prof. I' ling of the Stato university Is
commending It In the highest terms, so
that It has a standing In the stato at the
very outset. It Is designed for tho use ot
higher schools and colleges, nnd possesses
many cxcollent features and may bo called
without hesitation a success. Prof, Adamj
avoids most of the shortcomings which one
expects to meet with in manuals (o. g., dull
ness, distorted proportions, lack ot sugges
tion), nnd has many merits of his own.
Speaking at Inrfie, wo must glvo tho volume
our hearty approval, nnd exprew tho hope
that it may bo widely established as a
text -book. When one analyzes tho contents,
a considerable range of subjoct matter is
observable. Hcstdcs tho text proper, there are
bibliographical tables and particularly
bibliographical references to the various sub
Jects considered, a paragraph of "topics" at
tho end of each chapter, presumably for
questioning purposes; "topics for studies In
review," placed at tho end of each main
period; and a table of Important datra for
revlow, sometimes given synoptlcally In
parallel columns. In addition to theso di
versified attractions must bo mentioned
numerous Illustrations and maps. Thus tho
author prceonts a great deal of apparatus
outsldo his plain narrative, all of which,
however, Is Intended to supplement, em
phasize, or embellish the text Itself. Hero
lurks tho danger of providing too much ma
chlncry, which has, however, been escaped
by a close regard to tho correlation ot
parts. In splto of tho various elements
which It presents to tho eye, tho work can.
not bo accused of lacking unity. The Mac

ot tho wars of tho crusades. It reveals

frequently cruelty nnd violence went hand

tintcmlorn of n llluli Chinese Funcrnt
Dlnplnycri In Xew York.
With Oriental nomn Ylnit Hlng, honored of
tho emperor of China and grand master of
the Masons on tho continent North America,
was borno to his grnvc, relates the New
York Herald. All Chinatown was en fete,
for Confucius taught that death was a re
lease from sorrow and his followers have
tho courago of their conviction:. Therc
foro hanncrs ulanccd In the sunlight, cloth
ot gold gleamed In tho narrow byways and
mourners went about tho streets clad In
garments of barbarlo splendor. Incense
from thousands of sticks rose, ana rrngrani
and spicy odore diffused themselves through
the crisp nlr.
Ylng Hlng. powerful In tho Six Companies,
director of several "tongs," Ylng Hlng tho
millionaire, was brought to the temporary
tcmplo at 3 Mott street. He died recently
In Toronto. Canada, full of years nnd honors.
There wero not In the Canadian city enough
Chinamen to do honor to so distinguished a
man and bo the body was brought to Now
York City, -where tho grand lodge of the
Chinese Masons in tho United Stnteo is
situated. No such funoral was ever given to
n Chlncso dignitary ns that of Mng Hlng.
Tho boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn
were amazed nt tho sight.
Preparations were begun several days ago,
nnd when tho sun looked down Into China
town he bbw thousands of tho children of tho
Orient nnd tho Occident as -well hurrying
through tho nnrrow streets. In front of the
grand lodge, at No. 10 Pell street, was a
great throng. From tho top of tho tall build
ing echoed a monotonous sing song. The
Masonic ritual for the dead was neing re
cited. Tho windows of tho lodge room wero
darkened nnd tho glow of candles enme from
beneath tho closed doors. The pungent odor
of Incense stole through tho halls.
There sounded the hum of preparation
through Chinatown at noon, nnd tho spec
tators, obeying tho not very gentle admoni
tions of Captain Titus' twenty policemen,
slowly fell back. Dawn tho narrow Jano
which men call Pell street there passed a
procession which caused tho beholders to
Btaro with wonder.
Olltterlnc with tinsel was a transparency
upon which was painted tho Masonic square
and compusscs. Then there followed 200
Chinamen attired In the costumes of
dynasties which havo long passed away, a
procession of dignitaries garbed In silks and
brocades stiff with gold thread nnd bedecked
with tlnv mirrors which flashed in tno
sunlight. Young Hong, mounted on a charger
and flourishing the wand of his omcc, was
the grand marshal. He was dressed In filmy
llk which fluttered In the chill winds, and
surrounded his gravo face with streamers of
kaleidoscopic hues.
Following him, clad In liowing mouses,
tiriliiantlv bedecked with cunningly woven
ornaments of gold, wore the two mounted
lieutenants of tho war guard. They bore
upon their heads helmets, from tho casques
of which flashed ornamonts or crimson tut
nnd streaming pheasant feathers. To them
was committed tho task of guarding tho doad
from the spirits of evil.
Spears of models designed -wbon the world
was young, pitchforks with ugly barbs nnd
grim battle axes wero carried aloft by the
gayly caparrsoned host. The bearers wero
In tho uniforms ot the Chinese army.
Their blouses wore of brocade, richly orna
mented, and their silk trousers wero bound
below tho knees by lcgglns of many colors.
Thero wab tho red flag of tho order, draped
in black, and an umbrella of silk. Inter
woven with thread of gold, which denoted
that ho whoso obsequies were being held had
the rank ot a mandarin. Six women, In long
sleeved garments of silk, bore flowers at
tached to tho ends of wnnds.
Clad In long and trolling garments oi un
MmrhPii linen, with their heads tound with
atrlna nf red Cloth. aDPCarcd the ChlneSO
Masons. At their head, six feet tall, broad
shouldered and with head proudly erect,
walked Oong Hoar, master of tho Baltlmoro
lodge. Ho boro in his right hand the gilt
gavel, tho Inslgniura or nis ouice.
This procession closed in nemnu ine papiecIoaT' I supposo that "Lol-tho-Poor-hearse,
which was waiting in front of the indisn,-Esq." of Boston would make a great
temporary temple. At the front Rosatt s outcryi ju8t j,0 doca now aDOut tho brutal

Gong Hoar entered tho temple with his at
tendants and delivered an oration "to tho
most distinguished nnd highly respected
one, whoso virtues wero as tho sun of noon
day and whose fame was as apples of gold."
Ho had tho eulogy written upon a sheet of
gilt paper, which ho submitted to the friends
and relatives and then burned.
In tho temporary temple the body was
nini-Pit nt tho Hauth end. Beforo It were
tnblcs laden with burning candles and In-
cense sticks, bowls of rice, sweetmeats arm
mcnt balls. Thero were two roast suckling
pigs nnd tho bodies of two rams, skinned, but
uncooked. Tho provisions were for the use
of Ylng Hlng upon his Journey to the land of
spirits. Tho body, clothed In green silk and
bound with a wnito .Masonic apron, rcposeu
In a rosowood coffin.
Brief and slmplo wao the service and then
tho procession passed twice through China
town, and, followed by fifty carriages, went
to tho Grand street ferry. It was escorted
by a throng of eoveral thousand sightseers.

Isabella, Negros, P. I., U. S. A., sends a
glowing account of the wealth that there
awaits tho man with the hoe who will
diligently tickle the soil. This little Island,
be says, Is worth moro than tho states of
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio combined,
if I could own flvo ncres of this land nnd
locato it within 100 miles of Chicago I would
not trade It for nny flvo sections of farm
ing land In Illinois. Negro Is a garden
of Eden. It awaits only tho road-bulldor
to fulfill Its destiny. Thero may bo gold
In tho mountains. There or not there, Ne
gros docs not need It. Every ounce of her
black soil Is nn ounco of virgin gold to
tho mon who knows how to reflno It In tho
smelter of Industry. Tho agricultural pos
sibilities of tho Island are simply bound
less. Tho only thing that the soil of No
grcs won't grow Is a mortgage. They sny
In tho Btntes; "Oh, well, but n wlllto man
can't Inbor In that climate!" The answer Is
simple. A whlto man who owns land In
Negros doean't have to labor. And there I
om, bang-up against the subject of cli
mate. Tho Sixth United States Infantry arrived
on tho Island last June, right In tho mid
dlo of tho rainy season. Any nntl-lm-perlallst
who thinks It Is a regiment of
sick men had better steer clear ot tho In
valids along about sunset, when tho natives
tap tho cocoanut trees fT tuba. I've got
flvo months' pay coming to mo that says
there Isn't an nthletlc club In America that
can match them, man for man, for robust
health nnd a good, healthy desire to ham
mer thunder out of somebody nt least once
every twenty-four hours.
When I Joined tho regiment, on October 1
last, eight recruits, fresh from tho states,
camo with me, Every mnn of them hna
put on flesh slnco Joining tho reglmont.
Tho good health of tho men Is not duo to
tho easy tlmo they'vo been having. Tho
men of tho Sixth would shy nt n dry bed
Just as n farm horso docs at nn electric
car. For flvo months they've slept In tho
mud and rain, and If there's n man of them
who Isn t Bore-footed from marching day
and night the sergeant major doesn't know
his name. But they can average eight
pounds of mountain beef a day and whip
their weight In cntamounts. Wo don't
know whnt a sick man looks like.
Away back I proudly referred to tho fact
that I had flvo months' pay duo to me. That
la $78 American. I oxpect to get tho money
shortly. I'd llko to bet $50 of It on tho fol
lowing propositions: Take a thousand picked
men and let them undergo five months of
the same exposuro and hardship In any
stato In tho union that the Sixth Infnntry
has undergone hero and I'Jl bet that 10 por
cent of them will bo dead nnd 10 per cent
of them will bo in tho hospital. We've had
practically no slokness here. I'll pick 1,000
men from this regiment and bet that thero
Isn't a community of 50,000 In tho United
States from which a physician can pick
1,000 equally healthy mon.
No IiiMtirrcctlon In XrirroN.
Now, about tho Insurrection. Thero Isn't
any on this island. I can't find any evl
denco that there ever -was ono. There used
to be a Jesso James gang and a Geronlmo
band back in tho states. Thoy'vo got tho
Bfltno thing .here. It Isn't something new
that came in -with American rule. There
havo been Papleclo robber bands In tho
mountnlns of Negros ever slnco God made
Boston. Thoy live In, tho mountain fast
nesses and levy tribute on tho plantation
owners. If tho plantor falls to put up his
sugar mill goos up In flames. Incidentally,
they attack women and kill a few old men
and babes. Thoro Is Just one euro for them,
and that Is tho Old Testament recipe: Ex
termination root and branch. Wo aro pre
scribing that treatment at present with
flattering results, and tho peaceable Inhabi
tants of tho Island nre delighted to And how
truly good a thoroughly dead Papleclo cau

j different. A corporal and four bluecoats go
Into the mountains after Pnplcclos, Just as
thoy would go Into the woods after rabbits.
When tho Spaniards and amlgos flrst saw
these little squads heading for tho big bills
they held up their hands In horror and tho 1
nlr fairly buzzed with warnings. Now they
are getting so that you can yell "Papleclo!"
nt them at midnight nnd they don't faint.
For the bandits nro getting fewer nnd roost j
very high. Meanwhile, tho brutal American
soldiery subsist on Papleclo beef, killed In
tho mountains, and grow fnt. If our ap- ,
petltcs hold out for six months more thcro
will bo no more cattle In tho mountains nnd
tho Pnpleclo problem will have solved Itself.
Profit In tlood Itoniln.
With tho Papleclos exterminated, or It
Boston prefers she might pension them,
Negros nBks but one boon good roads. Given
good roads Negros will pay tho national debt
of tho states. Just tickle tho land with tho
sharp end of n crooked stick and It blos
soms dollars. You couldn't stop her from
growing rlco with nnythlng short of a spe
cial providence. If they had freo rein the
Papleclos couldn't burn the cancflclds fast
enough to keep her from producing n sugar
crop. Negros gives greeting nnd welcome
to the man from Louisiana with tho capital
to start. Sho will clothe him ln purplo and
fine linen. If ho dislikes water, she will
build him a palace at Nagaskl, where he
may Bpcnd tho rnlny season. And sho will
glvo him a monthly vacntlon at Hong Kong
nnd an allowance ot chnngo that will enable
him to loso $1,000 Jack-pots smiling.
Tho cnan who knows how to grow things
Isn't tho only ono to whom Negros extends
greeting. Thcro aro nil sorts of opportuni
ties here some ot them ripening nud somo
of them ready to pick right now. Rock Island,
Mollne, South Bend, In fact, all tho plow
towns In tho Btntes, need representatives
over here. Tho sugar planter wants a light
draught, turning plow. American make.
He has a very few now and likes them, nnd
wants thousands more. They enn be made
to meet his requirements still better by
making the right handlo detachable. During
tho early plowing ho wants both handles.
As tho cano grows tall ho wants only one.
Ho pays net gold, on tho nail. He also
wants nn American harrow, nnd knows It.
Ho wants American padlocks nnd hasps
and staples and 'bolts nnd nuts nnd nnlls.
He'd buy American boilers and engines
for his sugar mills Just ns cheerfully ns
thoso ot Glasgow make. All he wants Is
the chance.
Tho average native's Ideas of mcum nud
tuum nro lax. Tho planter would welcomo
a small Iron Bafo, such as a certain Arm
manufactures for country postmasters.
Kind of Help .ci-ilril.
The planter docs not want tho American
day laborer. No ono wants him on Negros.
Even tho Chinamen refuso to bo day labor
ers here. They keep little shops nnd smug
gle on the Bide. Nntlve day labor coots 50
cents, Mexican, and less a day. Steady Jobs
pay only $1, Mexican, a week. A good Fil
ipino cook, who enn glvo the salt and pep
per to the average American bonrdlng-houso
cook and beat hor, gets $C, Mexican, a month
nnd what ho can steal. I've heard that there
was a demand for American merchants In
Manila. It may bo true there. There Is cer
tainly no such demand out here In the man-
agua. A Filipino blacksmith hero gets ;i,
Mexican, a day, and pays his own helper.
Thero iiro plenty of native stationary engi
neers. They nro boller-burnore, but they
answer tho purpose, and tho present plnnt-
ors probnbly would not appreciate better
men. Clerks, either of tho salesman or
bookkeeping variety, nro not wanted nt any
price. Tho Japanese, Chlncso nnd natives
speak tliu dialects and fill such places ac
ceptably at merely nomlnnl salaries.
Thcro Is ono kind of man who Is wanted
here, and he's a mighty scarce man. That Is
a whlto man who comes up to these specifi
cations. He must bo strong and healthy. Ho
must understand growing and milling cane.
Ho must know how to handle native labor
ers nnd have a thorough Insight Into native
character. He must speak Spanish and VIs
cayan. Ho must bo a Just bote, but ho must
bo boss. Thcro will bo times when ho must
drive. Ho Is wanted as a plantation over
seer. For n twelvemonth or moro he will
carry a Winchester on his chouldcr nnd pos
sibly get tho chance to use It. Tho Spanish
planter wants this man. Ho will appreciate
his go-ahead energy, his force of character
and his direct methods also what ho admir
ingly calls "bis box," meaning his flat. The
flrst placo a Spanlurd's oyco wander when
he mcccts an American Is to his knuckles.
His admiration of Amerlcnn prowess ln this
direction is unfeigned and enthusiastic. This
Is also true of tho natives. Ono ot the
wealthiest Spanish planters In this region,
Senor Holljos, honors mo with his acquaint
ance and esteem. I stood talking with him
on a street corner of Glnalgrnn ono day when
two American soldiers, Just a trifle tho worse
for tuba, mixed It up In tho middle ot the
street. Other bystanders say it was n
lovely fight. I don't know, for I put In
my tlmo watching Senor Holljcs. The man
was transfixed with delight. He fnlrly
quivered with ecstacy. His mouth was open
with tho fierce pucker of n man about to
tasto n rich wine. I could see tho play ot
sympathetic nerves ln his face. His eyes
stuck out and glistened. And when at
last tho knock-out blow was lnmlcd he
turned nnd fnlrly hugged me and nlmost
danced ns he shouted:
"Bravo! Bueno! Bravo!"
Siiiiiilnli l'nlth lu Amerlcnim.
Ah to Spanish prejudice, don't let anyonp
tell you that tho Spaniards of Negros dislike
Americans. They nro a business people.
They own property and they wish to develop.
They hailed American occupation with de
light and look forward to American rulo with
confidence. Jack Dcmpsoy onco gave mo a
