In army circles In this city the officers and clerks are talking of the effect the outbreak of cholera will have upon the transfer of troops and men from this coun try to the Islands. While the reports do not Indicate that the disease has become general In Manila, the fact that Oeneral Chaffee ordered a detachment of a regiment to embark hurriedly on a transport bound for this country and caused the transport to leave ahead of time in order to preserve It from Infection, Is taken by the officers and clerks to indicate that strict measures will bj taken to prevent the disease reach Ing this country through the movements of the army.

' Piled up In the office -of the superintend ent of malla in the poatofflce are a hundred er more copies of Tiie Omaha Bunday Bee mailed by Individuals and held until the psrson whose name appears upon the wrap per can be notified to send to the Omaha, omce stamps sumctent to prepay the post age which should have been paid by the senders. "People are very careleas about placing tamps on newspapers and periodicals," aid Superintendent Cramer. "Because first-class matter will be sent through the mall and the postage collected at the other nd of the line they seem to think that the same course will be followed with other classes, or they do not give the matter any thought. They will place in the malla a large roll ot newspapers with a 1-cent tamp attached., When such rolls appear to be only prdlnary newspapers we make quick disposition of them and they go Into the waste basket. In the case ot the Sun day editions and other valuable magazines we notify the person addressed and then there la a delay and an additional expense of 2 cents to be paid by that person. "People should remember that the rate Is 1 cent for each tour ounces or fraction thereof. That would make he rate on the ordinary Sunday papers 4 cents, while with extra heavy editions another stamp can ately be placed on the package." States by returned volunteers from Cuba, who were not known to be infected with the disease upon leaving the Island, and they say that the same mistake will not be made In withdrawing troops from the Philippines. "Such action on the. part of the govern ment may result In keeping the present force upon the Islands longer than they would otherwise remain," said an officer. "It Is veil known that man leaving the United States for the Islands la more sub ject to Intestinal and stomach disesse than those who bsve become In degree ac climated and that In order to continue the necessary work on the Islands It will be necessary to maintain a force regardless of the cholera, or any other disease' which msy develop. There Is a feeling that the disease will not prevail over the Improved methods ot sanitation Introduced by the Americans wherever possible, but with a heterogeneous people, such as are found In the population ot Manila, It Is almost Im possible to perfect sanitation In few years, and the cholera may spread to the American forces It the men will not carry out the recommendations of the surgeons and officers as to their personal habits and actions." Major podds, Judge advocate of the de partment, has made all arrangements to go to Manila In pursuance of orders recently Issued. He expects to leave Omaha Satur day evening for San Francisco, and will remain In that city until April It, when he will leave on the transport Sherman. Major Dodds will be accompanied by hla family, which has been permitted to accompany him upon the transport "While I expect to leave on April 16," said Major Dodds, "I am not certain of It, as it Is not Impossible that the cholera now reported from Manila will keep all transports at borne until the surgeons have the disease under control."

STORY OF EARLY DAYS IN AMERICA Novel Havlag Do with the Times at the Vlklnge Adventores ot ' trolling; Actors Other Books of Interest. "Reconstruction and the Constitution" by John W. Burgess will interest all students of Amerlcsn history. Mr. Burgess Is the author ot "The Civil War and the -Constitution" and both volumes have been pub lished as a part of "The American History Series." The author holds to the idea that it was a mistake to place In the hands of the newly emancipated negroes the ballot. In his opinion It would hsve been better to have held the states of the south under territorial civil government until the In habitants had sufficiently recovered from their temporary disloyalty to the union to be entrusted again with the power ot local self-government. Readers who are Inter ested In the history of their country will find It an entertaining and instructive vol ume. . The author. Prof. Burgess, Is a rec ognised authority on the subject which he has chosen to write upon, a fact that adds much to the value of his work. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. Beulah Marie Dlx, who is well known as the author of several successful books, has written a new novel In connection with Carrie A. Harper, which they cell 'The Beau's Comedy." Landry Walford. a young London beau, nephew to the haughty Dow ager Duchess of Leeds, Is much sougbt fter by Mistress Kitty Collins and other London ladles of fashion. He takes It Into his head that be will leave London, .Journey to Canada to visit his grandfather, and see the American plantations. After various adventures on the strange shores be reaches the little village of Deerfleld la Connecticut. As he wears the garb of an Indian scout, the people laugh at his story of birth and position in England.. Thoy suspect him ot being a French spy, and he Is held prisoner In the rude house of a leading villager, Daniel Bliss, for whom he does rough work through the winter, hoping all the time to hear from London. Esther Bliss, the elder daughter, trests him with disdain; but the younger, Olive, ts kind and pretty and they fall in love. Finally an English kinsman arrives, wltn boxes of the latest London clothes; his story ts proven and Landry dons his fashionable lace-beruffed attire much to the amusement of the villagers. He takes the fetching Olive back to London as his wife, where she falls at once into the good graces of the old duchess, and with her fresh prettiness puts to rout all the London beauties. It Is a delightful and pleasing story. Miss Dix wrote the success ful books "Hugh Owyeth, Rountrnead Cav alier" and "Soldier Rlgdale." Harper Brothers, New York. Ottllle A. Llljenchantf. under the title "The Thrall of Leif the Lucky." has written a most promising novel. Seldom has a new work by a new author been offered to the public with k-ch confidence In Its Imme diate success. But this wonderful story of Lief Erlcsoen's voyage,- with every page permeated with the romance and fascination of the Viking days. Is so fresh and Inspired and carries the reader so Irresistibly Into the wild free life of the Norseman, that It Is difficult to imagine how any one can withstand Us charm. The hero Is young Englishman- of noble birth, who hss been captured by the Vikings, and Is sold to Lett Ericsson as a thrall. The story concerns bis adventures among Lelf's band of sea rovers and also bis very stormy wooing ot the beautiful Helga, a most fascinating heroine. Alwln is the name of the young thrall, and be Is brave, spirited, and wilful under bis restraint. This Intolerance brings he gravest consequences and' more than once his reckless defiance of his mas ters all but ends his career. The characters the background and the atmosphere of th story are so unusual and new; in the world of fiction that "The Thrall ot Lett the Lucky" will be most welcome to the novel reader who longs tor "something different."

'The Strollers," a romance of the early American stage, by Frederic 8.

"Aliens" Is ths title of a novel of con tempory life In the south, by Mary Tappan Wright, author ot "A Truce and Other Tales." It deala with' the social and to slight extent with the political conditions of a period more recent than fiction has hitherto treated. It Is no longer the time of reconstruction, but one so far subse quent as to fall well within the present decade. The title of the story Is Itself an indication ot the point of view that the so cial conditions are still quite by themselves and that ths northern woman finds herself in a civilisation almost aa strange to her as any outside her own race. The action as well aa the psychology has an absorbing In terest, but tbe latter ahows Mra. Wright's peculiar mastery and her southern types, with the subtle effects of social and polit ical traditions, are studied with remarkable power. Charles Scribner's Sons, Nsw York, "The Silent Pioneer," by Lucy Cleaver McElroy, la another story of Kentucky, but one showing Kentucky Just after the revo lutionary period. It ia and it la not an his torical novel. The characters are not cav aliers or banished noblemen or the blood thirsty brswlers of the average historical novel, but they are tbe pioneers, the great middle class of earnest, ,pat lent men who hewed homes for themselves out ot tbe Amerlcsn wilderness. And In place ot tbe flighty, scolding, heedless heroines of ro mance we have the gentle, faithful women whose part In the early pioneer life was ao important. Still another unique feature la the story of 1bs horse and the dog, who oc cupy leading positions in ths evolution ot the book Just as many a dumb animal must have bad places In tbe early day of Amer ica's history.
