During tbe Uit week a .large number ot
new volumes, many ot them ot more than
usual Importance, have put In an appear
ance, but unquestionably tbe book ot tbe
week, find tbe ono that wilt be read and
talked about (or a Rood many weeks to
come, Is "Qulncy Adams Sawyer." rti the
eait U. was Immediately recognized as a
raott taking work of fiction, and one as
thoroughly original In plot and style and,
at the same time, In parts as fully humor
ous as "David Harum." It Is not tho inten
tion to compare It with that popular novel
as It has very little rcscmbluntc to It or
any other work, haviLg a character all
Its own. The author ot this new tlalmant
of public attention Is Charles Fclton rid
gin, chief clerk of tbe Massachusetts
Bureau of Statistics of Labor, a position
which he has held for tttcnty-four years.
During all these years be lias been a gr,iat
reader and student, covering tbe whole
range, of literature, but during the last
three yearr troublo with his eyes put a
top to his reading and, as he himself ex
plains it, the time formerly devoted to
books had to bo given up to conversation
or 'to his own thoughts. During tho time
of his enforced Idleness, tho characters In
his story gradually took hhupo. It has
been remarked that two of the most popu
lar novels ever published were written by
business men unknow to tho literary world.
No one outside of their own little circle
of friends and acqualntnncrn ever heard ot
tho authors, until "David Harum" and
"When Knighthood Was In Flower" were
given to the world. "Qulncy Adams Saw
yer" Is In the main a story of Now Eng
land life, a large part ot the plot being
worked out In n typical Massachusetts
country town. Tho plot Is full of life
and action and Involves a great number
of characters of widely different stations
In life. Tho Ynnkco dialect and character
are well represented In the curlier chapters
of the book, but later on, as tho scene
shifts from the country to the city, wo
arc Introduced to the wealth and fubhlon
of a great metropolis and even to bclouu
of nrltlsh aristocracy. Tne here, who gives
.his name to tho book, Is young man,
son of a Boston lawyer. His father wishes
him to succeed him in business, but tho
son Is more interested In midnight suppers
and dances. Ho becomes a favorlto lu

characters are well and truthfully drawn

A curious pother has been made as to
the authorship of "An English Woman's
Love Letters," which has already attracted
an enormous amount ot attention. Tho
field for speculation is tho wider, since
readers of tho book aro separated Into
two classes those who think the letters
an fiction; and those who accept the book
as an authentic, record of life. "However,
the matter still remains a mystery.
Messrs. M. F. Mansfield & Co., of
New York, have published, In connection
with the Unicorn Press of London, a se
quence of letters, which will bo found to
fit ratber curiously Into tho letters com
posing the recently published and much
talked of volume. Tho work Is issued un
der the title of "An Englishman's Lovo
Letters." As In the case of Its forerunner,
the author's namo Is not disclosed, Jiut
must for a time at least remain unstated
and those ot tho literary world who are
"In the know" will keep a dignified sllenco
for the present. Tho volume Is n. dainty

A quotation from Browning's "Plppa
Passes" gives Its name to Imogen Clark's
latest story "God's Puppet." It Is a story
of old New York, that mine, of romantic
material that has as yet only, begun to
bo worked. The scenes are laid v.ithln tha
period when English dominion had con
quered Dutch rulo and, while Dutch cus
toms still prevallod, tho social life of tho
two peoples were apart. Tho dramatic In
cidents In the llfo of n Dutch dominie and
his pretty daughter, Annotje, form the plot
ot this story of New York In tho middle

never occurs1 that a stolen hour In Annetje's
garden, and an Immense service to saucy
Peggy Crewe, into vthlch he lured father
and daughter, Is destined to Injure elthcv.

of the character ot this young man Is a
study In heredity and selfishness. The
story throuws a flood ot light on the nar

York, which Is contrasted with tbe broader

"Old Uoweti'j Legacy," by Edwin Asa Dlx
Is a new book by a young author whose first
novel, published a year ago. Is already In
Its eighth edition. Like "Deacon Brad
bury," tho new story Is a study of New
Kngland character and conditions, the scene
being laid In the same fictitious village
Felton, Vt. It Is a serious work, though by
no means without Its lighter touches, and
the picture it preients of the typical folk
ot a rural community, while Imaginative
In conception, Is photographic In detail,
"Old Uowcn's Legacy" Is.1 the dying be
quest of a miser who, till death stood at
his elbow, believed In the Innate depravity
of mrnklnd, but was persuaded by the vil
lage lawyer to reconsider his harsh Judg
ment, the result being that his entire for
tunc (5,000) was willed with his last breath
to threo trustees, to be disposed of uncon
ditionally, In a lump sum, for "an unmls-
tnkcably worthy object." Fortunately for
tho trustees, "they were each blessed with
a tolerably Urge and appreciative sense of
humor." The unfolding of the plot occu
pies the year Allowed them for the mak
Ing of a choice, and their decision Is cal
culated to surprise the superficial reader,

"Choirs and Choral Music," by Arthur
Mces, has been added to Scribner's Music
Lover's Library. Mr. Mccs' reputation no
a conductor will Insure attention for his

amateur singer whose name Is legion an.l
to tho lover of oratorio. As the author
himself suggests, this book Is tbe first
of Its kind and In Its scope and treatment
Is directed to the amateur, not to the pro
fesslonal. It outlines briefly, but with ad
mlrnble Judgment, "the beginnings and de
velopment of chorus singing, tho origin of
choirs, their constitution and the nature
of their activity at different periods." A
compact but auftlclcnt statement ot the his
tnry and characteristics of the principal
choral forms Is given and a chapter of In
tercst to the young American is devoted
to the history of choral societies In our
own country. A conservative, but not the
less instructive, chapter on "the chorus
and tho chorus conductor" closes the vol
ume. Charles Scribner's Sons. Price, 11.25
Among French authors of the past no
name stands out more prominently than
that of Cornelllc, who was tho first to make
of the French drama a thing of art as well
as action. There had been French dra

PITTSBURG, April 18. There will be no
trlke In the plants of the American Sheet
Steel company. The trouble that broke
out In the Dewees-Wood plant In McKees
port last week and which for a time threat-
ncd to cause a general strike ot all union
ron and steel workers In the country
has been settled In an amicable manner.
The members of tbe general executive
board of the Amalgamated Association of
ron, Steel and Tin Workers held a long
csslon today. It started out with a gen-
ral feeling that a strike would come, as
the company would not concede the only
point In dispute (reinstatement of tbe
men discharged claimed for Joining the
union) and so far as could be learned the
officials of the American Sheet Steel com-
any were equally determined,
During the morning session of the ex
ecutive board John Jarrett, acting for the
American Sheet Steel company, appeared
with a proposition for tho members to con
Ider regarding a settlement of the diffi
culty, in general, this proposition was
thnt all men discharged from the Wood
plant should be reinstated, Including Hollo-
way, and that all but Ilolloway should re
turn to work at once, Ilolloway to be re
lumed within ten days,
The board insisted that Ilolloway should
be treated In the same manner as the others
and finally Mr. Jarrett changed his propo-
Ition to Include Ilolloway after three days'
suspension and the following agreement was
drawn up and signed at T o'clock thlj
evening:
Thrlr Asrremeut.
We have discovered, nfter a. careful ex
amination of the points at Issue, that, ns
usual, mistakes nnd misunderstandings un
derlie the trouble at McKeesport. and we
reacn me conclusion tnal it will be 10
he ndvuntago of all parties concerned to
start the Wood mill with the old em-
iloyes on next Monday. April 22, 1901.
.nu u is runner ngreeu thHt tne con
ract with reference tn wnrklnc condition
In the mill and scale matters shall be ob
served until July 1. 1001. and In the mean
time -Mr. smith nnd Mr. Ilolloway shall
hnvn a meeting to adjust any difficulty
which may exist between them.

In explanation of this agreement It was
stated that tho matter will remain In ex
actly the same position as before tbo
trouble broke out. Tbo organization of the
locals or tne Amalgamated, association
among the employes of the mill will be
continued, though the company will not
recognize it In any way In dealing with the
men. The Amalgamated association stated
that they did not wish the company to rec
ognize their organization at present and
simply asked the company to allow the men
to do as they pleased and act with free
dom when outside ot tho mill.

The company officials, on the other hand
say that so long as the local among their
men does not try to force recognition and
the men work under the personal agreement
with them they would not allow any feel
ing against the men. Both sides aro sat
Isfled and the strike that has existed for
a week baa in reality, according to the of
ficers on both sides, been due to a mlsun
demanding between the two sides to the
dispute.
The settlement will bring the matter to
an Issue, it is said, when the scale for the
coming year is brought up for settlement

rouud the old, old story, with a bit ot
foundation borrowed from the late Robert
Louis Stevenson, Mr. Otis Skinner has con
structed a most charming play. Its de
lights are none the less enjoyable because
tbe curtain goes down on a final scene
which Is ptophetlc ot a life ot peace, a
death ot greaie and ultimate Interment tn a
pot of tallow. In fact, there would be a
discord were the last note other than the
Joyous one of triumphant love, of wife re
gained, ot kingdom restored and the hon
est rcsadve ot an awakened manhood tq
live In tbe future as a man should. No
prettier stage picture li ever seen than that
which closes "Prince Otto." The husband
and wife at last know and love each other;
hunted fugitives they arc, driven from their
home, their palace In flames, the people In
revolt, all the pomp and circumstance of
their royal condition stripped from them,
but rich In the discovery of their happiness,
and the tired wife lays her head on her hus
band's knee and falls to sleep murmuring of
peace. While she slumbers comes the
news of the overthrow of the revolution
and the glad song ot the victors breaks In
on the quiet of ihe little farmhouse. It is
not only a. beautiful, but a logical conclu
sion, as logic goes In melodrama.
Bar the mechanical effects and a melo-
dram.i becomes a romantic drama. The
sawmill or the railroad train that gives
Ufo to tho Lincoln J. Carter thriller gives
way to the splnnlngwheel or the bats drum
(which docs duty for a park of artillery) In
the Otis play; but the villain and the cross
currents of love and the arrival of the hero
Just In the nick ot time are there and win
applause from the people who would, bo
dreadfully bored if they saw; a weak girl
overpower a roomful! of desperate men
and savo an express train or something of
that sort. Why is it: It Is tbe consum
mate art ot the author and actor which
combine to give the quality that enlists
sympathy and holds It to the end. No clash
ing of swords enters Into the story, only a
minor display of uniforms, Against this
subdued' background the author has pro
jected a series of most powerful pictures
and the actor gives them life and force.
Uf Mr. Skinner as an actor little but
words of praise can be written. Teople
here remember htm In "The Liars." In that
talky piece ho was acceptable, for he dellv
ered the sermons that fell to his lot with
effect. In his new piece he Is not a
preacher, but a man nt action, and Instead
ot moral homlletlcs his lines are tinged
with the bright wit of a man of the world.
the deep pathos of one who honestly loves
and the conviction of a prince who has
awakened. No time docs be become he
roic, no time does he overact. In his every
gesture, word, movement he shows the care
ful training that has led him up the, hill
inrougn many years of hard work. J!l r.
fort has succeeded and he has fairly won a
piacc among the great actors of America
Maud Durbln (who Is Mrs. Otis Sklnnert
Is new to Omaha. She Is a moit charming
woman and as an actress gives excellent
support to her husband. In the trying
scenes or tae lourm and fifth acts she was
especially strong. In both of these acta
more are scenes In which a less well bal
anced and reserved woman could easily ruin
tho whole effect by overacting, but tbe
check in which Mies Durbln holds herself Is
most admirable and gives the dainty but
powerfully effective touch needed to make
periect tho picture.
Mr. George Nash carries well the trying
role that falls to him, and Miss Jane Pey
ton Is both charming in appearance and de-
ngnttui in speech and action. The other
memDers ot the cast are excellently well
fitted with parts, so that the whole Is made
one of the best plays seen In Omaha during
the season and presented in truly artistic
manner.

RANCES KEPPLER WANTS IT
Makes nn Offer if I'lftrrn Hollars
for the Hoodoo . limbered
IlrleU.
Something of a rivalry for the possession
ot Auditorium brick No. 13 has arisen. One
day during the week an Omaha man made
n offer of 113 for this hoodoo number
tlpulating that It be delivered to him nt
thirteen minutes past tho thirteenth hour
ot the thirteenth day ot the month. Ills
faith in the charm led him to hope he
ould be awarded with the brick.
Now comes little Frances Keppler with
letter written from New York," In which
she asks for tbe No. 13 brick. She says
that It Is her lucky number, citing In evi
dence that sho Is 13 years old, her last
birthday falling on the 13th of last Octo
ber. She has ridden In berth No. 13, slept
In room No. 13. and sat down to tho table
to eat when thirteen were present. She
offers tin for the brick.
It Is the intention to sell tbe brick at
auction along with the other prize numbers,
but the little girl's local friends says she
will be allowed to secure It.
