A decidedly Interesting picket ot books
has corns to hand this week from Harper
A. Bros. The least pretentious, la that
it In the smallest of the cumber, contains
a very odd tale by Garrett P. Servlss, er
titled "The Moon Metal." Jules Vcrno could
not have wrlttenUhls story with more In
genuity than Its autnor nas shown. A
chemist discovers tho secret of drawing
from tho moon a metal unknown to earth.
The. new metal becomes the coinage of
tho world, gold having become as plentiful
as Iron, owing to the discovery of lmmens
deposits at the South Pole. The dlscoery
of tho secret dcvelopcs an Ingenious plot,
which unintentionally proves to be n strong
Argument for sound money.
II. n. Marriott Watson has brought out
"Chlorla of the Island." It Is a spirited
story of tbo last century, the scene being
laid In England. It Is written with the
touch of the trained writer of romance and
Mi a atory that will appeal strongly to all
readers of Action.
A third volume published by The Harpers
Is, "The Son of Carleycroft," by Theodore
Burt Sayre. It Is a lively romance of tho
days ot Charles II, full of life, notion and
sword-play. A dramatization of the story
Is promised for the near future. The author
remarks In a nolo that. If to tho reader
tho absence of many obsolete oaths as well
as certain archaic grammatical formations
peculiar to the period shojjld seem strange.
I would say, In the words ot captain
Weatherby hlmiolf, 'when a man thirsts
and Is given a full tankard for his refresh
ment it Is the contents that he concerns
himself with and not the crook ot the
handle." "
A novel that will undoubtedly attract at
tention by reason of the prominence of
the author In the world of science Is, "His
Wisdom the Defender," by Simon New
comb, tho astronomer and mathematician.
HrleXly stated, it Is a story of the a'lrshlp
of the future and the writer Indulges In
many fanciful conjectures as to the econo
mic and political conditions growing out
of the discovery ot a practical means ot
navigating the air.
Most readers of current magazine litera
ture havo probably seen at least some of
John Kendrlck Hangs' stories, "The Idiot at
Home," and have been amused by them.
They havo now been brought out In book
form, making a very attractive appearing
little volume, profusely Illustrated by F. T.

Alfred T. Christian, 45 years old. until re
cently employed as a clerk for the Cudahy
Packing company of South Omaha, died sud
denly yesterday morning at his home, 2215
South Twenty-ninth street, under circum
stances which gave rise to the report ot
suicide, though his friends and family deny
the rumor. He was attended by Dr. C. F.
Clark, who ascribes heart failure as the
cause ot death. When asked If the heart i
failure had been Induced by an overdose ot j
morphine ha refused to answer the ques
tion.
Thursday last week Mr Christian with
drew from the employ of the packing firm.
Monday, It Is said, he asked to have his
old place back, but was refused. The re
port Is that this caused him to be despondent.
His condition was discovered at 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, when his wife
awoke to find him unconscious
and breathing heavily. Dr. Clark
was called and the usual antidotes tor
morphine poisoning were administered, but
the patient died without regaining con
sciousness. Arrangements for the funeral
will be postponed until the arrival of a
brother of the deceased from New York, who
has been notified by wire.

Tho new ordinance providing for the de
struction ot dangerous buildings was passed
by tho city council last night, It Is much
moro comprehensive than the old ordinance
and makes It possible to destroy building!)
without delay. As soon as a building Is
condemned by tho building Inspector he
reports the matter to the advisory board
and the owner Is requested to appear be
fore tho board and show why the Inspector's
orders should not be carried out. In case
the Inspector Is sustained ho Is empowered
to order the Immediate destruction of the
objectionable building and may Impose it
heavy penalty for delay on the part ot tho
owner. Mayor Moores approved the
general appropriation ordinance passed at
the last meeting of tho council with the
exception of an Item ot 1130 for the repair
of the roof of the hall. The mayor believe:
the charge to be excessive and requested
that the contractor, Charles Wehrer, be
asked to present bills for the materials used
on the roof. The council sustained the veto.
An ordinance waa passed for the grading
of Valley street between Twenty-fifth anfi
Twenty-sixth streets, and an ordinance was
Introduced for the Issuance of 1100,000 worth

Travel to California continues at a rate
which Is surprising to railroad passenger
officials. Even now- the season for Califor
nia business has not yet started, according
to precedents established In provlous years,
and yet In point ot tho number of passengers
handled the season Is far advanced. This
paradoxical condition has a reasonable solu
tion only In the prosperity existent through

Mrs. liarney Harris, 1905 Lake street,
pushed aside the curtain to see who had
rung, and then opened the door to admit
Mrs. Matthews, who lives Just around the
corner.
"So glad you called. Come rl "
Mrs. Harris ceased speaking, her atten

which was deathly pale.
"Yes, 1 called to see you about"
It was now- Mrs. Matthews' turn to cease
speaking. The conditions, somehow, did
not seem to bo conduclvo to finished sen
tences or sustained converse. Mrs. Harris
stepped out to catch her guest as the latter
fell In a faint, and then, as she folded the
woman's shawl to make a pillow of It, a
floral tribute, "She Sleepeth," fell out upon
the porch.
Five minutes later Mrs, Matthews was
In tho parlor devoting her attention to
smelling salts and yielding her wrists to
massage treatment, when there was an
other ring at the door bell. Mrs. Harris
answered It. Mcsdames Stevens and For

ran precipitately down the path to the

flight.

but so far as she could discern her toilet
was In compliance with the latest fashions.
Finally the woman who was having the
chill chattered an explanation:
"We hr-hr-heard you were dead!" she
gasped.
Mrs. Harris was sorry to disappoint her
guest, but felt It her duty to deny the report.
"What you d-d-dlcd of heart disease,"
resumed the woman through her rattling

Inch a gentleman. Having made up his
mind to reform he selects Denver as hla

the story ot his past career seeks him out
and makes bis upward path hard to pursue.
The traits of the man are such that every
