er'e Latest Publication.
The Century company has published a
taw book by Will Crawford entitled "Ho
henxollern." It la a historical romance of
the time of Frederick Barbaroasa, emperor
of Germany In the middle of the twelfth
century. Tho. emperor, bavin fallen In
love with his ward, C.'ounteSB Matilda, ob
tains a divorce from hla wife In order to
marry the countess, but ebe refuses, being
herself In love with young Hohenzollern.
Hohenzollera bad saved the emperor'a life,
but the emperor now drives blm from the
court and finally place blm under the ban
of the empire. At this stage the count
inikci the emperor his prisoner, but find
ing that the latter Is likely to fall In turn
Into the handa of a rival claimant for the
empire, sets blm free and goes deliberately
forward to meet the emperor's rival and
frustrate bis designs. The real action of
the story occupies less than two days, and
the faithfulness of supposed foes and the
treachery of retainers give ample material
for an Ingenious and exciting plot. The
tory is rapid In movement and kaleido
scopic In its frequent, but plausible,
changes of situation. The scene Is laid In
the Black Forest and the local color Is ex
cellent. "Many Waters," by Robert Bhackelton, Is
a story of New York end is the author's
first novel. He writes of the New York of
today, and glimpses of the teeming life of
gorgeous caravansaries, of Wall street In
trigue, of the ceaseless activity of the
preas, of a street railway strike and other
widely divergent phases of metropolitan
life form a part of his brilliant story. The
characters that move through these vari
ous scenes compel Interest and will leave
a permanent impression. Mr. Shackelton
has not fallen into the error of attempting
to cover the metropolis in a book, but he
hae selected features which will attract
everyone. His graphic scenes indicate a
new writer whose gift of perception and
power of expression are qualities that will
make their mark. He was educated as a
lawyer, but abandoned his profession for
newspaper and general literary work in the
metropolis. His Ave years' experience on
one of the dallies In New York brought him
Into dally contact with the lights and
shadows of that city and gave blm the
foundation for this Interesting novel. Pub
lished by D. Appleton A Co.
"The Hound of the Baskervllles" Is an
other adventure of Sherlock Holmes by A.
Conon Doyle. Dr. Wataon, who chronicles
J he adventures of his friend, the famous
Sherlock Holmes, tells us In the course of
"The Hound of the Baskervllles" that
"Holmes himself had said that no more
complex case had come to him In all the
long series of his sensational Investiga
tions." This thrilling tale Is based upon
n old Devonshire superstition. Since the
time of Sir Hugo Baskervllle, centuries ago,
the family was said to have been haunted
by a horrible, flre-breathtng hound, which
trove Its victims over the lonely moor Into
the quicksands. Sir Charles was found
dead on his grounds, the only clue to his
death being the footprints of a monstrous
hound near his body. When his next of
Viti, Sir Henry,' toeK possession 'of the es
tate a aeries of uucanny happenings led
him to believe that he, too, waa deatlned
to become a victim of the hound of the
Baakervllles. He waa saved by Sherlock.
Holmes, but even that prince of detectives
was deeply involved In the roaie before he
finally solved the weird mystery. Pub

The Macmlllan company has published a
new book by Charles Major, author of
"When Knighthood Was In Flower." It is
entitled "Dorothy Vernon of Hsddon Hall."
The plot Is centered round Hsddon hall,
famous In history as one of the places
which sheltered Mary Queen of Scots dur
ing her captivity. The story itself Is of the
romantic attachment and elopement of
Dorothy Vernon and young John Manners,
In spite of tbe opposition of parents and
guardians. The time Is around Among
many effective scenes In Mr. Major's story
Is that of Mary Stuart'a capture at the
duke of Rutland's castle, when Dorothy
Vernon, riding with a warning to her lover,
and tbe bitter news that It la she who hss
betrayed him and the young queen tt
Scots, arrives all but exhausted to meet
them under the gloomy half-light of the
torches at the castle gate, already under
arrest. Some of the rooms In Haddon hall,
which Is the scene of the novel, stand ex
actly as Dorothy herself saw them 300
years ago. In the stste chsmber still
Hands the canopied bed of green velvet and
white satin. In which tradition says Queen
Elizabeth slept when she visited Haddon
to open the first ball In the new ball room
of that day the very ball room from which
Dorothy stole away, not to hear the earl of
Leicester press his suit, as her fsther
dreamed, but to Join her life to that of the
politically-disgraced young heir of Rutland,
her father's enemy.
'The Story of the Vine" Is a new book
by Edward R. Emerson. Several years
ago the author made an extended tour
abroad with a view of visiting and study
ing the wire-producing centers of Europe,
Intending to use the information for the
betterment of conditions as they existed
In America. Tbe book contains this In
formation. In his preface the author says:
"It Is hardly necesssry to say I am a sin
cere advocate of the use of pure wines. I
honestly believe that their use would do
more toward the solving of the temper
ance question than all other efforts com
bined. If what I have written
serves In any degree to open the eyes of
my fellow citizens I will feel that I am
amply repaid." Published by O. P. Put
nam's Sons.
"The Honor of the Braxtons" la a story
of student life In Normandy and the Latin
quarter, by J. William Fosdlck. Two
American students of art, Felix Braxton
and Benjamin Cushing, go abroad to con
tinue and perfect their studies, Braxton
going on his own resources, having been
bitterly opposed by his father. They meet
with many thrilling Incidents.. Braxton,
the frailer of the two and who pales at
times of the thought of death, having heard
a doctor state in his childhood days that
he could not live to be over 25 years of
age, is watched ana guarded as a Drotner
by Cushing, who takes great pleasure in
his growing success as a painter. A com
plication of Incidents and poor health com
pels their return to America, where on his
26th birthday Braxton dies. Later, when a
picture of his left In the charge of Cushing
Is sold for a "large sum and which was
turned over to his father when he most

A. T. Qulller-Couch's latest book. "The

Henry T. Coates k Co. Tbe etory, which
deala with the intercourse of the French
prisoners confined ' In a Devonshire town
with the gentry of the neighborhood,
hinges on tbe Instinctive racial difference
between the conventional Briton aud the
picturesque, if somewhat uncertain,
Frenchman. Love comes Into the tale, with
Us bitter and Ita sweet, to try loyal hearts
and. after suffering, to bring peace. We
catch the scent of the old-world roses and
hear the coach horn echoing loud and clear

country is not difficult, but the ability to
make the reader see the hedges and turn

The Forty-First Street Presbyterian
church at Chicago, 111., was decided upon
a the place for tb next meeting of the
board.
Tksradsy Moralnar'a Session.
The Thursday morning program opened
with a "Devotional Hour," at which Mrs.
J. H. Trowbridge of Illinois presided.
At 10 o'clock the convention met In regu
lar session and was led In prayer by Mrs.
George Tllden of Omaha. Tb first order
of business wss the synodic! report from
tat secretaries, a part of which was given
Wednesday. Montana' report was read
by Miss Elizabeth Ross of Chicago. Ne
braska' report, presented by Mrs. F. B.
Coulter, showed a healthy state of affairs
In the Antelope commonwealth and es
pecial mention was made of the Box Butte
presbytery, which was commended for Its
Igor.
North Dakota' report, which had been
prepared by Mr. A. E. Waddell, waa read
by Mrs. Charles Robinson. The secretary
deprecated the fact that the women of her
state are very largely transient. "They
are her today and there tomorrow," she
wrote. "In my particular Presbyterlal so
ciety there is a marked numerical weak
ness, as most of the women have moved
away, my own health has failed, and ao
Instesd of shining during this last year. It
has Just been jmoklng."
Mrs. G. M. Erwln, who told of the work
In South Dakota, mentioned the same state
of affairs the Instability of the population,
and it was to this fact that she attributed
the deficit In gifts.
Touches an Moraoalam.
The report from Utah, prepared' by Mrs.
M. M. T. Allen and read by Mrs. R. 8. Mc
Niece, was Interesting, as It touched rstber
frankly upon Mormonlam. "There Is an
undercurrent of pathos In the report from
some parts of our state." aatd the report,
"since they tell of women who dare not
openly enroll themselves for Christianity
because they are members of Mormon house
holds. Mormontsm gained atrength with
statehood. The doctrine of pollgamy U
taught with renewed vigor In I'tab and
Idaho; It la not dead It Is simply being
held in abeyance until its advocates get
sufficient strength to declsrs it openly. I
believe that a crisis is approaching In
Christian work In Clan. I believe that tbe
Mormons are waiting for an opportunity to
try their atrength anaw with Cbriatlans.
There are Indications of It everywhere.
Mormon children are being withdrawn from
Gentile achoola; Mormon priests are becom
ing Insolent In their consciousness cf re
newed power, and there la no anti-Mormon
paper of any Influence in the slate to com
bat the evil."
The Wisconsin report was resd by Miss
Agnes Rumsey.
Mrs. Abbls 8tebblns, who has been a
missionary to India, gave an Interesting
talk oa the lite of the common people lu
the Gangea country. "A Hindoo' Idea of
in Is to eome la coutact with something
unclean," said she. "We have to teach
them first the ten commsndments la order
that they may know God's idea of sin.
Hlndoolsm Is sick unto destb In India
and their prleata, realUIng this, are busily
advocating reforms."
Miss Mary Jswett, who for thirty years
has been a mlaslonsry at Tabriz. Persia,
told a melancholy story of this benighted
country, with special reference to Ita
loos morals and the degredation of Its
women.
Mrs. D. B. Wella gave a sprightly and
somewhat humorous talk on "Hinderments."
It seems the word "hinderments" wss
a favorite with an old negreee bouse err
ant of the Wella family. "Aunt Nancy
was quoted as say lag, "Hindrmeai get
behind end pull and battlements get In
front and push." Mrs. Wells drew a les
son from this homely philosophy.
The forenoon session clcsed with the
election of officer tor the ensuing year.
yaodlral Secretaries Rrkxirt.
The reports of the tynodlcal secretaries
were made yesterday. Five etates of
of the1 northwest were represented In
these reports, as follows: Illinois, Mrs.
J. 8. Johnson; Indlsaa, Mi's. C. P. Luce;
Iowa, Mrs. J. C. McClintock; Michigan,
Mrs. E. E. Hammond; Minnesota, Mr. E.
8. Williams.
Mrs. McClintock spoke encouragingly of
the work In Iowa. "The work of the Synod
leal society for the past yesr is one of
fslthful continusnce lft well doing," said
she. "Since our last annual meeting there
haa been an undercurrent of deeper Interest
In mission work. Judging from the msny
letters of Inquiry thst have been sent to
the officers. Several of the Presbyterlal
societies have adopted watchwords or mot
tos for the year and these have been like
spurs to oblige them to go forward, trust
ing the dear Master for help and atrength.
One Is very suggestive, 'Instant obedience
to the call of duty and Lord work.'
"Eight of our ten Presbyterlsl societies
report an advance In gifts. The extra
work of giving $545 toward the completion
of a building In Tagoo, Cores. Is being
cared for, but how nearly the amount given
will reach our aim will pot be known until
October next.
"The other special object wss the pur
chase of an Ice machine for Hawaii. More
than enough ha been contributed foi this
purpose, proving that our auxiliaries enjoy
giving to Bpeclal objects."
Story from Minnesota.
The story told by Minnesota was of
growth and progress. "Her figures look
about as they did last year," read Mrs. E.
S. Williams, "but if you could see her
heart I am sure you would say she has im
proved, for how could she have asaoclated
with such missionaries as Mr. and Mrs.
Graham Lee of Core and Mrs. Wachter of
Slam without being stimulated to greater
desire to carry tbe gospel to every crea
ture?" Mrs. E. E. Hammond reported for Michi
gan in part as follows: "The annals of
the Synodlcal society of Mlchigsn for the
yesrs 1901-2 will be recorded as yeara of
change, of anxiety, of experiment, and yet,
thank God, of blessing and encouragement.
The death of Mrs. Brownwell last June was
followed In October by the resignation of
Mrs. Bruske, our president for twenty
yesrs, and as yet her successor has not
been found. In its crippled condition our
society has worked during the year and It
Is largely owing to tbe faith of the Pres
byterlal officers that, under God's bless
ing, so much has been accomplished. Sag
inaw, Flint and Lansing report Increases In
membership or gifts or both. Kalamazoo
and Lake Superior are thoroughly organ
ized and doing fine work and each reports
two new societies. Grand Rapids has dis
tinguished herself by increasing her gifts
and Detroit is doing a large share of the
work faithfully."
Mrs. Charles P. Luce of Indiana gave
an encouraging report. She read:
"As the people of old came up to Jeru
salem for their annual teasta with Joy in
their hearts, so we come to. this, our nine
teenth annual meeting, with gladness. In
diana's report I full of cheer and encour
agement. It 1 Impossible to simmer the
enthusiasm of eight Presbyterials, 170 aux
iliary societies and 9,000 women Into a
five-minute report. When we consider the
great work being acompllshed by the six
teen missionaries who are ouyrepresenta
tlves upon the foreign field we cannot fall
to be Inspired by thelt'sacrlflc and devo
tion. 'V.;' -
' "As fact s re" necessary to secure funds,
we are not surprised to learn that more
magazines are taken tfian 'ever before and
hence our treasurers are able to report In
creased gifts. The amount contributed
during the last year aggregate over $11,
000. At our synodlcal meeting held In In
dianapolis laat October Mrs. Wells Inspired
us all with a renewed sens of our per
sonal responsibility as lndlvlduala In the
great work of christianising the world, and
as a state we are wakened a never before
to the importance ' of ' personal consecra
tion and effort. Tbe dominant strain of our
annual report, which will sound throughout
the coming year, will be, 'Glory to God In
the highest and on earth peace, good will
to all mankind.' "
The forenoon program concluded with a
short address by Mrs. L. C. Van Hook,
who haa been a missionary to Persia. Be
fore the adjournment a measage from O.
W. Llnlnger, Inviting the delegates and
missionaries to visit hi art gallery while

hour nearly 100 availed themselves of tbe
Invitation.

both of whom were unable, to attend the
convention on account of Illness.
Tbe first order of the afternoon program
was "Young People's Hour." presided over
by Mrs. Earl C. preensaan. One of the
most Interesting features of this was a
psper on "Boys," prepared by Mica Emma
E. Koehler of Chicago and read by Mrs. O.
L. Robinson.' It gave several good recipes
tor interesting boys in mission work.
Dr. Louise H. Keator of Illinois, mission.

Experience In India.
Rev. J. N. Hyde, wno haa had experience
as a missionary In India, delivered an ad
dress In part as follows:
"Whfcn Jesus stood that morning In Naz
areth and spoke that very human message
from laalah lxl, be touched a cord that
responds the world over. Walking round
an Indian village In the Punjab, the bead
man of the village, a high cast Hindoo,
Joined me and told me hi sorrow over he
loss of his wife. I told him of ths comfort
Jesus give and be said this comfort wss
what drew him to Christ's teaching!. Sine
1890 the conference in India tor ths deep
ening of the spiritual lite of missionaries
snd Indian Christians have resulted la
great good. They brought out the bible
teaching about the tulneas of the spirit snd
have purified the lives and empowered the
service of very msoy.
"The mission of different denaminations

the Presbyterian mission of Scotland. Eng

are forming one Presbyterian church in
India: our churcbee have more Indian pas

be built In Feroyepore. The prayer was
heard and for six or seven years now tbe
hospital, well equipped, has been In opera
tion. Streams of good have flowed from It.
as thousand of women have bad medical
care, and aa one after another has been led
to Christ from lives of sadness and sin end
drunkenness and from homes of darkness
aud cruelty."
Secretary of I.lteratar.
Mlas Mary L. Clark of Michigan read a
paper on "What a Secretary of Literature
Can Do." Here are a few of the para
graphs: W'hen, shout five years ago. the office of
literary secretary was new. there waa a
very meagie IcU a of Its duties. Since thst
time the work has broadened and Its op
portunities have Increased marvelously.
Care should be shown in choosing a suit
able and efficient woman to nil the office,
and she should be willing to devote much
time and strength to her work. The aux
iliary llteiature secretary should secjre
subscribers for the woman's magnstnes,
circulars, leaflets, from missionary reading
circle. Interest the young people In mis
sionary literature, urge systematic study of
missions, especially the united studv of
missions, wlt.n the Introductory textbook
"Via Chrlstl."
The presbyterlal literature secretary's
work should be In advance of that of the
auxiliary secretary. She should secure the
appointment of this officer In each society,
come Into touch with her under secretaries,
visit societies, write personal letters, hold
conferences. Investigate and advocate new
methods of work, use huslnrsslike methods
in the sale of literature at preebvtertal
meetings and secure literature secretaries
In churches where there are no missionary
societies. Above all, she should be tactful,
energetic and enthusiastic.
Evening- Session.
Last night's session drew an audience of
such proportions that there was not a va
cant seat In either the auditorium proper
or the adjoining lecture room, which was
thrown open for the occasion.
Two addresses, which the general chair
man afterward designated as the finest she
hsd ever heard on mission work, were de
livered by Prof. O. L. Robinson of the fee
ulty of McCormlck Theological seminary,
Chicago, and by Rev. Graham Lee, a grad
uate or that Institution, who ha served
long at Pyeng Yang, Corea. Rev. Edwin
Hart Jenks of Omsha was the president of
the evening and introduced the speaker.
The music was as previously announced,
with the addition of the solo, "Save Me,
Oh God," sung by Ml?s Northrup.
Letting I.laht Into Corea.
Rev. Lee spoke first and aaid In part:
I have come to bring you a message from
the land that was once called the hermit
nation. It la no longer so. When I went
there eight years ago and began mission
work at pyeng Yang there wasn't a Chris
tlan other than ourselves in that vicinity.
Now we have ll.ouu communicants and 19
congregations. At the beginning we were
confronted by suspicion that was positively
hostile, and one night we were surrounded
by great crowds of Coreans and com
manded to get out. We got! But I never
yet saw a missionary who would give up,
and wo went back again. Then the gov
ernor of the province determined to oust
us and made his attempt while our first
little band of eight converts were with us
at prayer. But we survived that, too, and
then began our growth to the proportions
of a church. At llrst we met In a cramped
room, where they sat upon the floor and
which was so crowded that aa an actual
fact I may tell you that a man who got
up to stretch himself couldn't find room to
sit again.
At first the women were crowded Into an
adjoining room, where 2") of them used to
sit in eager silence, anxious to hear told
the old, old story of Christ as It was being
related to the men. Woman's condition In
Corea Is most pitiable. For the girls there
are no schools except dancing schools, and
after they become wlvea they have no
name and practically no recognition. Once
1 was drawn to a house by screams and
found a man with a club uplifted readv to
strike or.e of two poor ignorant women
who had been quarreling. My American
blood rebelled at his cowardly act and I
struck him where he stood.
Other Faculties Than Eloquence.
Let mi say to those who contemplate
entering the mission field that all your
practical faculties will be required even
more than your eloquence. We built a
church 3ux90, and I never shall forget what
an ordeal It waa for me when 1 had to su
perintend the construction and waa wholly
unfamiliar with such work.
And are the Coreana appreciative? Weil,
upon the eve of our departure they brought
ua gifts without number and their fare
wells were tearful. They have come to
prise the religion of Jesus Christ above all
things else and are saddened by the loss
of any who can tell them more of It
greatness and glory.
Rev. Lee also protested vigorously
against the proposed 40 per cent reduc
tion ot the appropriation and said that such
action would have the effect of forcing the
missionaries to give up all that they were
using In the education of their own chil
dren or for other personal need.
Prof. Robinson gave a resume of the
struggle of Christianity in heathen lnda
and pointed to tb stars whose light has
come forth to dispel the darkness of these
places. Of these he named several heroes
In the work, both old and modern, and then
devoted most of tbe rest of hi lecture to
the splendid part that women have played
in the conversion of the world. He em
phasized his thoughts under the three gen
eral suggestions, leadership, loyalty and
thanksgiving, but did not overlook tbe op
portunity to point out the need of providing
adequate Instruction In the mission field
and reporting the progress that Is being
made by the theological seminary.
Today's program will be similar to that
of yesterday, Including six synodlcal re
ports, some general reports, missionary ad
dresses concerning the work in Japan and
Africa and finally a communion service this
afternoon, conducted by Rev. T. V. Moore.

JENNINGS ON BOOR CONCERN
Senior Manager Telli Methodist Conference
of Iti "Work.
SUCCESS FROM A STRUGGLING START
Ministers and Laymen at Omaha Dla.
trlct Meetlnc Participate In I.ay
lna Cornerstone of Mew
Church.
The Omaha district conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church came to an en
last night, the concluding service being aft
address by Dr. H. ,C. Jennings of Chicago,
who spoke of tbe work of the Methodist
Book Concern, of which be is senior man
ager. Previous to the address by Dr. Jennings.
Rev. Gross, field agent of the Book Concern,
said that during the last year the people
of the Omaha district bad stood nobly by
the concern, the sales having grown consid
erably In the laat year. Ha said: "The day
Is past when ministers can do good work
without preparation and tbe Methodist Book
Concern Is publishing books which meet
the need of preacher and people today."
Dr. Jennings, In the course of bis re
marks, said: "While I have no doubt that
there have been Ignorant saints In the
world, I believe they would have been bet
ter salnta had they known more. While
Methodism stsnds for a distinct religious
idea it should also, stand .for a distinct In
tellectual idea."
The speaker then gave a history of the
early struggle of tbe Book Concern and tbe
rules st first In force regarding the sale of
books.
"It wss the literature of tbe church
which ha made It strong," said be. . "The
Methodist Episcopal church ha never had
a schism on account of doctrine, while we
have had soms on account of discipline. '
"For the printing of the weekly publica
tions of the Concern 8.000,000 pounds ot pa
per Is required annually. The Methodist
Book Concern, In tbe financial reoorts or
Dun and Bradstreet, ranks along with the
Illinois Central railroad not because ot the,
large amount on hand, but because It bas
a field which no other Institution can oo
cupy. Tbe Concern Is tbe greatest power
for the conversion of the world that w
have."
Resnlntlona Adopted.
At tbe conclusion of the address Rev. C.
C. Clssell, from the committee n resolu
tions, reported expressing thanks to the
pastor and member of tbe Seward Street
church; pledging work for the Central
Christian Advocate and the Book Concernl
praising the work of Dr. J. W. Jennings ss
presiding elder snd calling for his reap
pointment at the meeting of the next con
ference. The presiding elder then made a
statement of the condition of the district,
taken from his report made Tuesday.
At the afternoon session tbe principal
festures were paper by C. W. DelaMatr
of Omaha and Dr. F. H. Sanderson of Fre
mont. Mr. DelaMatre's subject was "The
Kind of Preachers and Pastors W Lay
Memb ri Want," and the p.p?r of Er. Band,
erson's was a response, "The Kind of Lay
Members We Ministers Wsnt."
