The success attending the publication of
"The Crisis" Is as great and Its reception
by the reading publle ns cordial as Hint
accorded Its predecessor, "Illchard Carvel,"
It seems a little strange, possibly because
It has to seldom happened, that the same
writer should produce two volumes of such
.urcat popularity, but Winston Churchill ap
pear to understand the great rending pub
lic and to know what will meet with Its
approval. As "Illchard Carvel" Is a story
f American society during the pre-rovo-luttonnry
period, no "The Crisis" Is a story
of American society of the great rebellion,
typified, as It wero, by a fow Individuals
who represent the various elements in the
nation at largo. The sceno opens In St.
Louis, among tho antagonistic elements
which were at that period drifting on the
ldo of emigration sotting toward IUIiioIh
and Mlsrourl. It Is not a story of war,
bloodshed and misery, but of tho effect all
these had on the events of tho time. Thu
hero, Stephen Hrlce, Is a young New Eng.
mud lawyer seeking his fortune in tho
southern city. Delng naturally opposed to
Slavery, ho nstonlshes some of tho citizens
by hti Menu, especially when early In the
story ho purchases a slavo girl at tho prlco
of hla small fortune, In order to sot hor free
and return her to her mother. Tho heroine.
Vlglnla Carvel, Is a descendant of Klchard
Carvel, which fact serves to connect tho
atorlcs In Interest. Among other characters
am fJrant, n citizen of St. Louis, hauling
wood for a living later tho greatest gen
eral In tho army; Sherman, president of a
small street car lino later u great general. ,
Abraham Lincoln, a struggling country!
lawyer, for whom Stephen Ilrlco has tho
xrcatest pity pnd again tne greatest ad-1
miration and esteem later as president In '
a trying national crisis, The love story Js
worked out with a careful regard for human
Interest, whllo tho Influence of Lincoln Is
predominant throughout the book. Tho pub-1
Ushers have dono a very nice thing lu !
bringing out "Tho Crisis" in the same style j
of binding as "Illchard Carvel," bo that
tho two mako a very attractive appearing
-iet. Although "Illchard Carvel" has been ,
before tho public for some time lt popu
larity continues and It is still one of the
best selling boohs. It would seem, from
tho number of copies sold, that most every- I
ono must h"V' s Hired ono, but the publl- i
cation of "The CrhU" has proven that
there are still a good many people win I
olthcr have not road or else wish to re-read
Mr. Churchill's llrst work, and to meet tho
public domnnd the publishers havo brought
out an edition of the two volumes In uni
form binding, enclosed In a box, which will
meet all the i entitlements. Nothing could
be more attrnctlvj thnn this set and tho
reading public Is suro to appreciate It and
tho enterprise of tho publishers In brlnglug
It out. Tho Macmlllan Co., Now Vork.
"Elder noise," tho now novel from tho
pen of Kvcrctt T. Tomllnson Is a work that
la suro to find favor with all who scan Its
pages. Mr. Tomllnson already has a host
of admirers, not only among young lads, for
Ills books for boys havo been wonderfully
successful, but among their elders as welt.
Mr. Tomllnson's books have one conspicuous
feature that recommend them especially to
all good readers and that lu the absence of
nl) objectionable characteristics. IIIh new
novel will bo found no exception to the
rule, as while abounding In Interest ami
full of Incident from cover to cover, the
tone of tho wholo work Is healthful and
there aro none of tho morbid sensational
effects that aro more than common In tho
so-called modern novel. The title of tho
book is rather misleading as one would ex
pect Elder Bolio to be an aged preacher,
whereas the character In question Is a
youthful minister on bis first charge In a
northern New York country town near tho
St, Lawrence. Mr. Tomllnson has given us
a most shrewd and real novel of character.
Tho experience of the young minister, who
la very earnest, well qualified, and an all
around live man, with the eternally new
nnd amusing manifestations of human
nature when untrnmmeled by city conven
tionalities give n background for a talo that
1s In no senso of the word uninteresting.
Tho young Elder Dolso and tho country
folk arouud him form a group that Is at
tractive especially as several of them
riavo oddities of character which supply an
unfailing note of humor that Mr. Tomlln
aon Is ever ready to detect. The young
man's experience in getting n firm footing
of religious belief strikes a vory deep noto,
and has a vital Interest tor all thinking
people. Mr. Tomllnson. who is pastor of tho
Central Baptist church at Elizabeth, N. J.,
shows In this sturdy and full-flavored tale
that ho has as much 'ability In depleting
lu'iman nature as he has In tho narration of
breathless nnd interesting stories of action,

Life's Lights and Shades
Brooklyn police have been looking for
some time tor a hoodoo man who has been
peddling curses of various degrees of
strength and latitude to the servant girls
and superstitious persons In tho district.
Tho authorities had heard of him from
various sources and they were exceedingly
anxious to catch him. Of course, even a
profosslonnl curse cannot always satlbfy
his patrons. No matter how fur-reaching
the eurso or how near the cursed may be,
the blight docs not Invariably fall as soon
as expected.
He waB quite willing to curse relatives,
falso sweethearts, rivals In love, rivals In
business, tho milkman who loft sour or
watered milk In tho mornings, tho baker who
neglected to lenve tho bread, or tho butcher
who foiled to give the bones nnd suet with
tho weekly roast. Ho professed to be able
to send curses abroad Ju-it as easily as to
blight thoso who were near at haud and his
curies, he declared, wore of a lasting va
riety, wero really of tho finest width and
warp and woof In tho market. Tho an
athema cast at the rascally thief of the car
dinal's ring In tho voracious story of the
Jackdaw of Rhelme was a mere Ilea bite In
tho category of blights compared with the
curses of this peddler of misfortune.
Thero was no question of tho fact that
he was driving a roaring trade, especially
with the young women of tho kltchon in
the better houses of tho Twenty-ninth
ward of Brooklyn, His prices were In
tolerably high, but he profefsetl io glvo
something lino and far-reaching for a )5
bill. A dollar curse, he asserted, did not
amount to much, and he was willing to
give goods of the greatest strength fcr
from 10 to 115.

WASIIINOTON, July 23.-Sccrotary Hitch
cock said today, with reference to the effort ,
to prevent the opening of tho Oklahoma ,
Indian lands to settlement, by Injunction i
proceedings at El Ilcno, that the prepara
tions of the department for the opening
would proceed as though no suit had been
begun. "We shall not let the matter go by
default," he said, "but we apprehend no ob
stacle from that proceeding. Any one can
bring a suit."
The secretary today took cognizance of
reports coming from Oklahoma that the
men who arc registering at Itcno and Fort
Still aro doing so with tho Intention ot
transferring their rights to others. "Tho
report," ho said, "Is to the effect that they
can and will dlspoeo of their numbers at
enormous profits, That Is absurd, becauso
It is Impossible under tho regulations for
them to transfer their rights. For any of
them to attempt to do so would bo a clear
violation of the law. They take an oath
not to do such a thing and to use their
rights for their own exclusive benefit.
There can bo no speculation In these num
bers." Tho secretary also said that reports nrc
coming to tho department of schemes for
disposing of numerous townsltco, the pro
moters offering chances to tho public. "The
only townsttes which have been author
ized," tho secretary said, "are those of the
threo county seats, No others have been
sanctioned and no one known whero others
will be. Hence all except thoso three are
bogus and reports of their establishment
should be denounced ns Intended to de
celvo the public. "
Itcferrlng to tho suggestion that the new
lands should be sold ot auction and the pro
ceeds of tho sale turned over to tho
Indians, the secretary said:
"Theso lands nro ns much government
property as arc any other part of tho pub
lic domain. They have been purchased
from the Indians and title Is no lougor In
them. Hence, the plan Is not feaalble.
Moreover, It would not bo wise If practi
cable, for If the lands were put up nt auc
tion they all would full Into the hands of
men vi Ith mcnoy, and the poor man would
have no chance whatever. Under the
present plan all have equal rights regard
less of cnnditlcns of wealth, and that this
fact 13 recognized Is made evident by tho
largo number taking advantage of the op
I n unity for registration."
Th registration will cIoho at G p. m. on
the 2Gth.

WASHINGTON, July 23. William Hunt,
tho present secretary ot Torto Hlco, has
been selected to succeed Governor Allen
on the retirement of the latter from the
Insular government. Governor Allen
brought with him to Boston all his house
hold effects when he came from San Juan
and ho does not expoct to return to Porto
months. Tho pastor of tho church Issued
an Invitation to the shirtwaist man Satur
day to coinu to his church Sunday, and
announced that be would set tho example
for comfort and common senee by appear
ing In a eblrtwalBt In the pulpit. Tho re
sult of his experiment he considers highly
satisfactory.
Rev. Mr. Crutcher walked up and down
tho aisles and received at the door, wear
ing a satisfied smile aa he saw tho succoss
of tho Idea. Mounting thu pulpit, he said:
"I am pleased to see so many here. I
nm glad you like my suggestion to come
In shirtwaists and without your hats. I
am glnd that you have taken the suggestion
as I meant It, It Is not a fad. I felt It
was common senso, and now I bellavo you
feel tho Bame."
A good hotel for self-respecting men of
moderate means was the goal toward which
D, O. Mills steered when he built the
hotels which bear his namo lu New York
City. Guests are required to pay a small
amount for lodging and meals to get the
best value for their money, A similar
scheme has been set on foot by John Ar
buckle of Arbucklo Bros,, reports tho
New York Tribune. Ho will open a hotel
In a few days which will be for women and
children ns well as for men, and will guar
utitee Its patrons, In addition to good beds
and board, cool air and freedom from tho
inconvcnlonces caused by hot weathor. Tho
Arbucklo hotel will consist of a small fleet
of 'Hilps which will narry tho guests on
short ocean cruises. Tho fleet Is the prop
erty of tho Deep Sea Hotel company, of
which Mr. Arbucklo Is thu head and front.
"A real ocean trip," said Mr. Arbucklo,
"which lasts from early in the evening
until the next morning cannot fall to In
vigorate and refresh n man who spends his
days In buslne3b, Besldos tho good air
and perfect rest tho passenger, the hotel
guest, has a delightful trip on a stanch
sailboat, fitted up in perfect style and
having all arrangements for the comfort
nnd safety of Its passengers."
It Is the Intention ot Mr. Arbucklc to
start the floating hotel from the Battery
every evening except Sundays at 6:30. to
go to sea and remain "outside" until early
morning, returning to tbo Battery at about
I
Rico. The formal announcement of the ap
pointment of Mr. Hunt, Is withheld until
the expiration of the leave of Governor
Allen next September.
William 11. Hunt, who has been selected
to succeed Charles II. Allen as governor of
Porto Hlco, was born In New Orleans No
vember 5, 1857, and Is the fourth son of the
late William Henry Hunt of Louisiana, who
was secretary of the navy In the cabinets
of Presidents Garfield and Arthur and min
ister to Russia.
Judgo Hunt received his education at
Yale, but on account of III health did not
llnlsh his course.
In IS96 Yale conferred on him the hon
orary degree of master of arts. When he
was 27 years old he was made attorney
general of the territory of Montana. He
subsequently moved to Helena nnd was
elected to the legislature'. He was a mem
ber of the constitutional convention In 1SSS,
when the constitution was framed for ad
mission to the United States,
When Governor Hunt went to Porto Hlco
ho was requested by President McKinley to
be secretary of the Island and to assist
Governor Allen In organizing the new civil
government.

WASHINGTON, July 23. Freo trade be
tween the United States and Porto Hlco
will bo proclaimed Thursday. Attorney
General Knox Is preparing the proclama
tions which will be Issued. Tho first de
clares the establishment of civil govern
ment In Porto Hlco, and the socond the es
tablishment of freo trade between the
United States and the island. Although
civil government has existed for many
months In Porto Hlco, Governor Allen, up
to the time he wont to Canton on Sunday
purposely withheld the formal notltlcatlon
of that fact from the president In order
that tho money collected under the Fornker
act might not be placed at the disposal of
tho Porto Hlcan legislature, but could con
tinue to be used for the benefit of the Island
under the direction of tho president.
Tho effect of an earlier notification would
havo been a proclamation by the president
recognizing tho government, and turning
over to the Insular treasury for the use of
tho government all money thereafter col

ull-bcartng rock found In tho Medicine
Butte section. "It Is oil rock," said h
"tho kind that causes the heart of a Penn
sylvania oil man to throb with Joy. Tho
only point to be determined Is tho thickness
of the sand rock. If the rock Is twelve to
fifteen feet deep, I would advise vigorous

It le learned that tho sand rock near
Evanston Is from Beventy-flve to ono hun
