"Casting of Nets" Is franklr a norcl with
t purpose, namely, the exposure of certain
practices and methods of the Church of
Home, especially those by which. In tho
opinion of the author, its KtigllHh converts
uro pained. It Is to the credit of the
nuthor, lllchard Hanoi, that In spite of Its
controversial tone and the slightest of plots
ho has written a story nt real Interest.
Absolutely unllko as nre tho books, "Cast
ing of Nets" suggests both "Eleanor" and
"The Master Christian." Not only Is
the spirit of nil Inimical to tho Church of
Home, but In all appears a saintly prlst
who has risen abovo creeds and Is more
or less under the ban of the church; and
In all the aged pontiff enmes upon tho scone
1 seems a pity that tho author should ox-
pond his very deep Insight and dramatic
. power upon this form of Action, which can
but provoke theological discussion, "Cast
ing of Nets" gives conclusive proof that Its
author Is capable of unusually fine work
should ho bestotv It upon the canvas of a
lnrgo humanity Instead of tho particular
phase to which at present ho Is limiting
hl powers. John Lane, New York.
H. A. Wanley, author of "The Uackwoods

makcr.p. For years, whllo the editor of
tho Herald In Illnghamton, N. Y., ho
tramped tho woods and river valleys, search
hg out tho sights of Indian villages of
Revolutionary days. The Mohawk and Dola
Aaro valleys aro familiar to him. Iu "Tno

acters of tho Indian and white settlers, as
well, aro taken from history. Of late years,
becauso of III health, Mr. Stanley has be
I'omo a resident of the state of Washington.
"Tho Wonderful Northwest," In a recent
number of "Tbu World's Work," bespeaks
his ability to know at first hand what tho
story of tho forest and what past and even
current history means. In "Tho Backwoods
man" Mr, Stanley has written .1 remark
flblo story of the New York frontier during
tho revolutionary war. The author has a
moat lntlmato acquaintance with this period
and has succeeded In writing a book which
carries tho reader out Into the heart of
the forest, whoro a man's life depended
Jipon tho keenness of his senses and his
blllty to outwit naturo herself as well as
his savago enemies. Doubleday, Page 4

Under the title "Irish Pastorals" arc
colloctod a number of sketches of the Irish
peasantry by Shan I". Ilullock. They are
really pen pictures, some stern and somber,
some pathetic, somo gonial nnd abounding
In humor. Tho bit of description at the
beginning of each sketch will usually be
found to bo an indication of Its nature. In
this harmony is found the author's greatest
art In tho blending of these true children
of, tho soli with tho earth which gives them
sustenance. Yet even In the hour of gloom,
vrhen the sky bodes no good and the fields
ro a dreary waste, they exhibit admirable
elements of keen native wit, Irrepressible
ood nature nnd shrewd practical wisdom.
With little certainty of a winter's provision,
they will mnko merry with the true ring
about a board which offeis nothing but
boiled "praties" and the milk "noggin."
Hut when sorrow comes. It U pathetic, so
hopeless It seems und so forlorn. "Spotty"
Is a story of such pathos, while In "Tho
I Hero" "The Diggers" and "The Reapers"
, H Is mingled with a noto of tragedy. In
"The Planters." humor and sentiment pre
dominate; In "The Mowers" a certain aus
terity. "The Brothers" differs from all the
rst In subject nnd treatment. Yet. ns Is
characteristic of tho people they portray,
, no one of tho sketches will be found devoid
of humor. McClure. Phillips & Co.. New

somo parts of modern Greece are little

try for the background of a story, "The
Tempting of Father Anthony." During his
long residence there he made a close study
of tho ways of the people In the smaller
villages, ami many of tho episode and
I scenes In his latest book are based on nc
I lual occurrences. Father Anthony Is the
son of a village priest and aspires to
emulate his patron saint by forswearing

Interesting to children over 10 years of

UlMt Jnvenllea,
The approach of winter, bringing In Its
train longer evenings and occasional In
clement days, creates a demand for some-
thing with which to amuse the young people
ot the family, and publishers are accord-
Ingly bringing out attractive volumes of
Juvenile lltet tture. There is nothing from
which children can obtain as much real
genuine pleasure during the long evenings
as from a good, wholesome book, written
by some one who understands child nature,
properly Illustrated. This fall there la
promise of an abundance of such books, and
they are already beginning to put In an ap
pearance. A, Wrssels company presents "Child
hood's Hongs of Long Ago," being n col
lection of such of the divine and moral
songs of Itev, Isaac Watts as seem to lend
themselves most readily to the method of
treatment expressed and the understand
ing of children of the present day. The
verses were first published In tho early
part of the eighteenth century. Through
out there Is a rich vein of humor and thev
songs, which have retained their popularity
through all the years, may rightly be styled
children's classics. The verse Is accom
panied by a large number of full page Il
lustrations, which are quaint In the ex
treme and of 0 character to amuse children.
It Is withal, a most commendable Juvenile
serving to amuso and at the samo tlmo
Inculcating many most useful lessons.
A most catchy little bonk from the pub
lishing house of Frederick A. Stokes com
pany Is "Cats," Like the preceding, It Is
a book of Juvenllo verse and Is well cal
culated to pleaso the youngest children.
Pussy Is represented In a nrlety of amus
ing situations, both the verso and tho
splendid full page Illustrations being easily
within the comprehension of small chil
dren. Even children old enough to read
will enjoy Its humor. Louis Wain has done
himself much credit with tho Illustrations,
which ars In black and white. Price, U 10.
The market Is flooded with Mother Gooso
books of nil kinds and descriptions, but A.
Wcssels company has conceived the bril
liant Idea of bringing out 1 book contain
ing the old nursery rhymes which were
hoary with age In the days of our great
grandmothers. Many of these old rhymes
date back to 1697, when a Frenchman first
collected them together In a small volume
under tho title of "Songs of My Mother
Goose," but that was only their nrt ap
pearance In print, in an oral form they
must have been handed down for many agvw
provloun to that tlmo. But the youthful
readers, who will enjoy them In their latest
form, will caro but little regarding their
nntlqulty. The book Is printed In two
colors, with a vast number of quaint, old
time Illustrations. No child's education Is
complete without a knowledge of Mother
Goose. It Is larger than most of the Juven
iles of tho class to which It belongs, con
taining 135 pages, and although brought out
In a very neat and attractive style, It Is
made to sell nt )1.
From Rand, MeNally & Co. comes "The
Pirate Frog and Other Tales," with verso
by W. A Friable and Illustrations by Bart,
authors of the "Bandit Mouse." Each pago
In the book Is taken up with an illustra
tion In three colors, tho verso being worked
In with tho Illustration. Tho pictures have
to do with animals represented as acting
In n more or less human way, tho verso
describing the amuBlng situations and Inci
dents. Tho bright pictures and the amus
ing stories as told In tho pleasantly written
Jlnglo are well calculated to amuse small
children. Tho pictures themselves are suffi
cient to provoke shouts of laughter from
children not old enough to read.
A. Wcssels company has brought out one
book that Is Intended for children some
what older thun those for whom the abovo
books are best suited. It la entitled "Told
In the Twilight" and Is an attractive vol
ume of storlea to tell to children. It con
tains such stories as "Hip Van Winkle nnd
His Long Nap" and "Hohln Hood and Ills
Merry Men" and others of a similar char
acter, some of them fairy stories. There
nro many full-pape Illustrations to help out
the meaning of the text and at the samo
time afford amusement for children who aro
fond of sitting down with a picture book.

ANNUAL EVENT IS SET FOR OCTOBER 15
Insnrance Inspector Ileeann 'Rxnlnlns
Workings nf 9chcdnle flitting;
yalem to Kiecntlre Com
mittee nf the CI nil.
The annual banquet of tho Commercial
club, In honor of the Board of Governors
of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Bcn, will be
given the night of October 15 In tho Com
mercial club's rooms. This action was de
cided upon at tho meeting of tho executive
committee yesterday.
At this meeting a representative of the
New York Commercial presented a plan for
placing branch offices ot that publication
In the various parts of the country, special
service to be established In nbout twenty
five cities. Ho came to establish a special
office In Omaha provided the business men
of the city will co-operate. Tho club prom
ised Its to-opcratlon In tho matter.
A. O. Ileeson, state Inspector of the fire
Insurance companies of Nebraska, was then
Introduced to explain the workings of the
system of schedule rates now bclug applied
to risks In Omaha. Tho mercantile sched
ule, according to tho statement of the In
spector, Is placed upon tho protection
ngalnst fires In the various cities. In ap
plying rates In towns whero efficient service
Is In operation the first thing to consider Is
tho wall which must be of a certain thick
ness. If tho wallB aro thin a deficiency Is
made. Deficiency charge Is made for all
stories abovo tho third, except In fireproof
buildings, whero no chargo Is raado until
tho seventh floor Is reached. The standard
roof Is metal or composition. Deficiency
chargo Is made for shingles or roofs not up
to standard; deficiency chargo Is made for
ceilings other than lath or plaster or motal
ceilings; deficiency chargo Is roado for root
space, for skylights not attached by metal
or not strong glass; deficiency charges are
made for elevators, unless In brick or Iron
shaft or aro trapped on each floor. Theso
traps are a new device which upon the
application of 150 degrees Fahrenheit
will automatically closo communication
between tho different floors. Deficiency
charges arc made for stalrwayn and dumb
waiters, unless trapped. No charge Is made
for stairways leading from the street. De
ficiency charge lo made for electric lighting,
but none for gas. Coal oil and gasollno
come under heavier deficiency charges. De
ficiency charge Is made for openings from
ono building to another, unless closed by
tin-clad doors. Deficiency charge Is made
for frarao exposures and higher walls ad
joining. Deficiency charge Is made for ad
ditional tenants. This gives tho total
charge.
Atlilltlonul Credits.
Then there aro credits In addition
to thceo for fire department and police. De
ductlotih nro made for Inside standplpe and
hose, for chemical palls, for wire lath, for
mill construction, for watchman on prem
ises, with approved clock or somo central
reporting station. In this city the credit
for firo department and water works is 47
per cent. In Lincoln the credit for this is
but 2(5 per cent on account of the scarcity
of water and trie construction of the mains.
The highest credit for water service and
fire department Is 75 psr cent. Kansas City
Is not getting tho credit given to Omaha.
This credit makes tho Omaha basis 53 per
cent from the amount It would bo In case
there was no fire protection. This (ystem,
he said Is being used throughout the mid
dle west from Ohio to Colorado. The new
system Increases the rate on stocks and de
creases It on building.
After his explanation several questions
were asked him, In answer to which he 'said
that the looses In Omaha had been smaller
than In the majority of cities ot the same
class. The Increase In the rate will be
ubout 10 p:r cent.
Memb:rs of the club reported Increase In
rate from 11 to $1.35 per 1100 and from 65
centB to 97 cents per 1100. The Inspector
stated that In almost every case the rate
could be restored to the old rate by making
Improvements.
Speaking of what could reduce the rate
generally Mr. Beeson said that there was
a reported shortage In hose In the city;
that there were not enough men employed
In tho hoso companies, whllo paving Is bad
In certain sections of the city. An Im
provement In these respects might result In
lowering tho basing rate.
Agentb piesent said that as the new rate
was enforced It made It easier to do busi
ness, as they can explain the rate.

the Ilnshrl.
It the efforts ot a number of the leading
grocers of the city are successful Omaha
housewives and others will find a revolu
tion worked In the methods of selling gro
ceries In a short time. At the next meet
ing of the Retail Grocers' association Rob
ert Smith will bring up a resolution declar
ing that from and after Its adoption all
members of tho association will sell all
green groceries by the pound, Instead of
by the bushel and Its division.
"There never has been ns great a fraud
upon merchant or consumer ns the plan of
selling such merchandise by measure," said
Mr. Smith. "You can take any of theso
things you desire and can fill the measure
so that It v.ill give a large or a small quan
tity. Many merchants use a fourteen-ounce
sack as tho equivalent of a peck. If you
stop to figure you will eeo that It requires
a slxtecn-ounco tack filled to tho brim to
make peck, and then It must bo closely
packed not to cheat tho buyer. When goods
are sold by tin pound and purchased the
same way you are dealing with a tangible
affair.
"There have been complaints every year
about the peddlers and others who uso
false measures. If the scales aro Inspected
there can bo no contest In regard to tho
purchase ot goods when they are weighed.
It Is tho only Just method.
"Peoplo will have to bo educated to tho
new style of selling beans, peas and other
things, but tbey will soon corao to see that
they get the same amount for tho same
price even though It may be quoted In de
nominations unfamiliar to them. False
weights are not so easy to maintain as fatso
measures, for ono can havo a true mcasuro
and so place the commodities In It that
they will appear to be selling a measure
full when a slight agitation ot tho measure
will show that tbey havo defrauded the
customer of enough to mako a fair profit
on the salo In addition to the regular
profit."

October 1 has come, but It has not so far
brought a consolidation of Omaha electric
power and light companies. Some ot the
parties to tho deal now consider that nego
tiations have fallen through, while others
assert that the options do not expire until
October 10, and that between this tlmo and
that the eastern parties have the right to
accept tho terms agreed upon at tho time
the negotiations were first considered,
A report nas gained more or less currency
that the deal la no further nlong than It
wns throe, months ago, as tho reports of
the expert accountants, who examined the
books of the three compnulcs to tho deal,
found tbnt In at least ono of tho companies
tho showing of tho officers ns to tho vnluo
of the property was not borno out by their
Investigations, This company has been lu
tho habit ot charging Its Improvements and
extensions to Its capital account, while the
custom ot the majority ot such companies
Is to chargo nt least part ot tbla cost to
operating expenses.
Himv It in Done,
To lllustrato: Where a new dynamo Is
purchased supplanting an old one, the
Omaha company would chargo the entlro
cost of tho new machine to tho cnpltal ac
count, leaving tho expenso account clean
so far as this machlno Is concerned. Other
companies would charge tho entlro cost to
tho expense account, while tho more careful
companies would charge tho cost of replac
ing the old machlno with ono similar In
power nnd design to tbo expenso nccount,
making a charge against tho capital nccount
for all additional cost of tho new machlno
.occasioned by reason of the greater powers
or greater economy of tho new machine.
Tho s) stem in vogue In the Omaha company
resulted In mnklng a small expense nc
count, while the capital account wns greatly
enlarged. A price was agreed upon at the
Inception of the negotiations upou tho bants
of tho earning power of tho several com
panies as shown by tho books ot tho vari
ous concernu. When tho experts made their
report ond tho system of bookkceplug was
shown tho men who aro to supply the ensh
for tho proposed consolidation demurred,
saying that on nccount of tho Increased ex
penso absorbed In the capital account they
could not nfford to advance as much money
as was at first Intended, and they therefore
Insisted upon tho present holders of suck
In tho concern taking either a leso price In
cash for their stock or taking a greater
amount of tho purchase prlco In stock of
tho now company. This proposition Is not
sntlsfnctory to tho parties Interested anti
It Is understood that tho present visit of
Frank Murphy to the east Is for tho pur
pose of convincing tho prospective bond
holders that they can well afford to abide
by tho proposition at first agreed upon.
There Is no doubt that the consolidation
scheme and tho canal and power plan will
bo divorced If the pending negotiations nro
not closed In a short time. Persons In a
position to know say that the delay In tho
power plnn has been occasioned by a de
sire on the part of the capitalists Inter
ested to have the negotiations pending be
tween the power using companies of Omalu
settled before they proceed with tho other
scheme, but If the consolidation Is not
effected soon they will go ahead anyway.
May Tako It Up I.ncnlly.
There was n rumor to the effect that there
would be a local co-operative scheme
sprung In case tho eastern men failed to
come to time. Tho "wise ones" said tbnt
Investigation had shown that under a sys
tem by which the power for all of tho com
panies would be generated at a certain
point much expense would bo saved and
that the executive officers of the two street
car companies and of the electric light com
pany were considering n plan by which In
caao of the. failure of the present consolida
tion plnns they could comhlno for tho
manufacture of power. The mntter was
brought to the attention of one of the
officers of the companies party to tho com
bination and he denied that there waa anv
foundation to tho story.
"While there Is no doubt that Biich a
plan would be fealblo," said he, "and that
It would result In a great saving
to all persons concerned, It has not
been seriously considered. It will not be
In tho light of the fact that wo all expect
to have natural rower In Omaha In ho short
a time. Tho canal nnd power company
will do tho work for us, whether tho con
solidation now pending Is carried out or
not. Were It not for the fact that wo be
lieve the canal schemo will surely bo In
operation In a short time, we might con
sider the plan."
When suffering from racking cough, take
a dose of Foley's Honey nnd Tar. Tho
soreness will bo relieved and a warm, grate
ful feeling and healing of the parts affcted
will be experienced.
