"Tho Isle of the Wind" Is a romance of Scotland and the Wiut ludics in the- seven teenth century by 3. H. Crockett. The author hlmtelf describes this an "a rollick ing and adventutotis tale after tho manner of 'Tho Haiders.' " It has special Interest hore, since the hero's most exciting advuu tuics take place In the Wcat Iudles. He la kidnapped from Aberdeen to be sold at Phil adelphia as a nlave, but escapes to an Indian tribe. The etory Is founded largely on his torical happenings. Mr. Crockett possesses "Philip StansQeld's" own memoirs and bai unearthed many curious and formerly un known matters which lend color aud reality to hU romance. This story was but re cently published lu serial form In The Dally Eee. Doublclay & McCluro Co., New ork. I'rlco JUO. "Sweepers of the Sea: The Story of a Strange Navy," by Claude H. Wetmore. Is a romancu somewhat after the blcvonson style, but there's a dash of Illdcr Haggard, too. The recital of tho deeds or tno -sweep era of the Sea" Is a breathless one. The romance Is heightened by tho realism of tbo technique of naval warfare, by tho eurcneni and volumlnoslty of nautical knowledge, ira aKlnary sea lights are told with all the par ttcularlty of real events and at the name tluio the descriptions have a breezy swing that hurries tho reader along to most start line catastrophes. Tho Chlll-reruvlHti war and tho late war between the United States Hnd Spain evidently furnished tho tnslg of the Imaginary fabric.

His keen in sight Into tho fralltlw, fun nnd folly of the world and his good-natured comment thereon have charmed U3 all. No book could better servo to diffuse good humor than his new book, "Smiles bolted wltn siphs." It Is written In dancing verte filled -with Uurdetto pathos and humor, and Will Vnwter has filled tho book with nun rireds of pen and Ink skotches that capitally mirror tho rollicking rhymes. Tho title Is taken from a lino in Cymbellne. U is not qulto fair, perhaps, to call this a book of nonsense poems, but, nt least, one may eay that It la the work of a rhymstcr who does not take, himself too seriously; who writes Jingles knowing that they arc Jin nies; who does not strike attitudes because bo haR discovered that there are feet in a line, and that "mltio" rhymes with "thine." and that tho serio-comic Is onormously fetching.

"Tho Apostles' Creed: An Analysis of Its Clauses, with licfcrenco to Their Credibil ity," by Archibald Hopkins. j written from tho standpoint of a layman, who does not accept without qualification some of the degraas regarded as quite essential by the Christian church. Some of the preliminary matter In this bo it-, and the part relating to tho resurrection, appeared about five years ago In tho New York Tribune, and led to mt 'h discussion and criticism. The author apparently regards the biblical ac count of the fall ns symbolical, the re demption as a great object lesson and the immaculate conception as legendary. 0. I. Putnam's Sons. New York.

All of the old stereotyped arguments against religion nro advanced and In turn demolished by equally time-honored nrguments on the other side of the question.

Injunction proceedings have been begun by 0. O. Irey, formerly n member of tho school board, In Judge Koysor's court, seek ing to stop tho payment of JS51.23 granted by the board at Its last meeting to a detec tive agency of Chicago. The money was ap propriated for professional services rendred thu board In ferreting out official corruption. The court granted a temporary restraining order, prohibiting tho city treasurer from registering the v.-nrrunt or mnklng any pay ment upon it. The caso will he heard on Its merits on July 1C. In their petition Mr. Irey nnd hlB asso ciated ns taxpayers object to paying for nu Indebtedness liiruriel In Investigating tho nets of the Incumbents of a public office. Mr. Irey points to the rule of tho board, which prescribes that a written contract must bo entered upon whentver an expendl- ure exceeds $iOO. Not ouly did the expen diture In tho present case exceed that sum, Mr. Irey says, hut tho matter was never brought beforo the board In any form what ever. Two or three members, the petition adds, hired tho detectives on their own re sponsibility without the slightest authority from the board nnd kept them on the pay roll for the po.iod of a year. No conviction resulted from tho efforts and Mr. Irey bo Moves the members should bear the expense f their own voluntary act. Throwing tho burden upon the board Mr. Irey believes to be a fraud upon the taxpayers. Members of the board frankly expressed their surpriso nt Mr. Irey's action, but ad mltted that they were not fully Informed whether they could exceed an expenditure of $200 without a contract or not. C. S Hayward, who was moat active in the Inves tigation, has gone to llcaton with bis fam ily, to be gone n mouth; He Is congratu lating himself upon escaping the annoyance f tho suit. Member Hobert Smith, who sat as one of the board of Investigators, said: "in taxing the cost of tho investigation to the school board we felt that we were taking a legal und proper course. Tho good done by the nvestlgntlon extends to the whole city and It is not right that the expense should be borno by the few who appreciated tho Im proper methods In vogue and went about setting them right." ii a i) no ivrr.vno.v to dbphauii. llexnnder lliicbnnaii .snyn He Won AftliiK III riooil Fnltli. Alexander Buchanan took the stand In Judgo Keysor's court yesterday to prove hat he had acted In good faith In his deal nu with Mrs. Kunlgundu Rlchter. He ad mitted having sold Mrs. Rlchter a lot on Twenty-ninth and Douglas streets for $1,000 In cash and furs, but asserted that the price was only Its fair market value. "While you were aesurlng Mre. Rlchter that the lot was gilt-edged property and easily worth $1,000 had not you yourself Jus purchased It from A. C. Carter for $200? Inquired Attorney Hnrry O'Neill. "Yes. sir, I had," replied Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Buchanan continued with a general defense, setting up that be was ready and willing to carry out his contract to the let ter. He said that work was continued on Mrs. RIcbter's house in accordance with plans and specifications until be wab estopped by a restraining order. Attorney O'Neill then made an effort to show that Buchanan was Insolvent and un able to carry out his part of the agreement It was developed that Buchanan owned two lots and seven houses on N street, South Omaha, which arc being advertised for salo by tho sheriff under foreclosure of a $7,000 mortgage. Mr. Buchanan said ho also pos ossed seven more lots In "Good Luck" addl- lon to South Omaha. The lots lie In Sarpy county and aro mortgaged for $300. "A man wouldn't need to own more than a doien lots down there," Interposed Judge Krysor, with a smile, "to prove his in- tolvency." Mrs. Rtchtor Is suing for a Judgment of $1,200. $S0O being tho difference between thu real und alleged value of the lot, and $100 being the sum paid on the house now partly completed. The testimony was concluded during the afternoon nnd was postponed for argument The court lntlmatod soveral propositions upon which he wished citations of law, the principal ono being whether In equity cases contract Inadequately carried out could properly bo canceled and the money paid n refunded to the party suffering from the Incompleted agreement. COMPANY MUST PAY ITS TAXES Jiidenient Given for the City In n Mult AKiilnst St. Paul Concern. Another personal tax case was won yester- aay morning In Justice Learn's court. Tho St. Paul Plow company, which was formerly located in Omaha, failed to pay Its taxes for tho years U9j and 1896, and moved to St. Paul, whero It assigned to a man named Powers. City Attorney Connell brought at tachment suit on a claim of $200 which tbo Northcott Agricultural Implement company owed tho St. Paul company. Tho assignee ret up the claim that the St. Paul company Is insolvent and that all money due It muit be placed In Mb hands. Justice Learn ruled, however, that tho $200 must be turned over to the court to satisfy the delinquent tax claim. The taxes, with accrued interest, amount to $155.
