The tons of the book. It being letters begun while the supposed author Is touring the provinces as Little Eva, with a troupe of British "Tommers," and continually until she has made a name on the stsge for herself. Is pure, for it doesn't deal In any acandal, but Is humor ous, satirical and serloue by turns, so that it ia really delightful reading, even If the Identity of the characters be not described by the reader. "The Story of My Life," by Helen Kel ler, is an autobiography of tha author's life. There has, perhaps, never been a more notable educational feat than Miss Keller's truly marvelous achievement of getting Into touch (through the aid of her devoted teacher and friend. Miss Sullivan) with tha world About her. Left deaf, dumb and blind by a' mysterious Illness at the age of 19 months, she has In the last sixteen years learned to communicate with friends, to read to "see" stautea by feel ing, to apeak French and German as fluently as English, and to write correcting the rhaptera in this volume when the teacher read them to her by means of the fingers. Simply, but with much feeling and with a surprising faculty for expression, she tells the atory; how aha learned tha first word; her emotions at going to Boston, meeting other children, bathing In tha ocean and so on through the whole almost Incredible record.' Tha volume has also an Illuminat ing study of Mlas Keller by John Albert Macy and contalna a selection of Miss Keller's letters to many well known people; Fblllpa Brooks, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, nr.

The northern tier of counties of the stato of New York are uniquely rich la romantic historical traditions. The Introduction of the characters of M. De Montefort and his daughtef, Renee, the French refugees who figure (n "The Tralfof the Orand Seigneur," was suggested to tha - author through a bona-fide historical fact. Among tha many who were driven from Prance during the Terror were a nobleman rind his daughter, the latter a mere child. The Frenchman quitted his disturbed country for these shores with great difficulty, taking his child, who had been committed to a con vent for aafe-keeping. They removed to a rude cabin in tha all but unbroken wilder ness of northern New York, the nobleman having supervision of aome large forest holdings for some French compatriots. The daughter cheerfully shared hla years of exile and performed the domestic tasks. Roving hunters and trappers knew tha cabin well, where they were most hos-' pltably entertained, being charmed with tha exquisite beauty and grace of tha daugh ter, who finally married a young French man and lived thereafter' a little south of tha present village of Deer River. Her father mad hla home with her after her marriage, and died there- In 1830. He was a man of fervent piety, spending much of hla time on his knees In prayer.

Tlin OKA1IA DAILY -HEE: -WEDNESDAY, SLIM CROWD 11EARS HOWELL Demxntio Sideshow Doesn't Draw in Bij Sixth Ward. BOLTERS GET SOME RED HOT ROASTS Kennedy I -aye It on Hard! la Talking of the Mrs 'Who Are Kow apportlnai Beaaoa for Mayor. Just twenty-nine of the more thsn 1,210 democratic voters ot the Big Sixth as sembled at Idlewlld ball, Twenty-fourth and Grant streets last night to extend welcome to Edward Economical Howell and Corpor ation Counsel Wright; to hesr the lesser nominees speak their pieces; to hear J. A. C Kennedy give away the secrets of tho last legislature and to receive the photo gravures of Howell and Ernest Stunt, the handsome men of the ticket. C. E. Forbes acted as chairman and after the orators had delivered the goods a Sixth Ward club was organised on motion of Joo Sherry, John Llddell being made president and Charley Clark secretary. By the time the work ot organizing was reached tbero were only nine ellglbles left in the hall and the voting district representation had to be left to the president to fill in before be calls the next meeting. Altogether, It waa a very satisfactory meeting from the standpoint of a man who was lo a hurry in pt liomli. a Mr. Howell ventured to take the ground that the question before the taxpayers is whether or not they want a change In the city administration. He, for one, is in favor of it. He denied that ho has any. Intention ot throwing his support to either Moores or Benson. What WrUht Will Do. Corporation Counsel Wright said: "It I am elected I will serve the city with the same fidelity I would serve one of you as a client of mine, and there shan't be any side lines out," which . latter statement was accepted as formal notification to the electrlo light company to begin advertising for a new hired man. Mr. O'Connor, aspiring to be city clerk. presented a strong endorsement ot himself by himself and let It go at that. Hon. J. A. C. Kennedy passed a few fra grant posies to the councllmanlo candi dates and then undertook the extremely difficult task of involving all factions of the republican party in responsibility tor what was done by the antl-Moores dele gation in the legislature this last winter. Kennedy's Estimate of Benson. "I pay no particular attention to the Benson platform," said Kennedy, "because I do not consider Mr. Benson a vital factor In this race. He Is in, sincerely on his part, but put there by men who never had any Intention of electing him." Iu view of the fact that the speaker Is the law office disciple of T. J. Mahoney, scheduled to speak for Benson at Crelghton hall Fri day night, this statement was received with some surprise. Mr. Kennedy said: "The party's plat form says 'we favor municipal home rule, yet it was a republican delegation in Lin coln that bent every effort to foist upon South Omaha a fire and police board tha city did not want. The platform favors an economical business r.dminlstration, yet it waa a republican delegation that raised the salary of the Omaha comptroller, a mere auditor, to $3,000 and it waa a member of that delegation who, when I asked him why, replied 'Well, we didn't mean to dp Jt but . Weatberg and Burbank came down b.ere and simply Insisted- - It was a mem ber of that same republican delegation who Introduced a bill intended to make It pos sible for the franchlsed corporation to side step 150,000 ' In Omaha taxoa yearly and it was a republican senator from Doug las county, also, who, in the sifting com mittee killed the bill to reduce telephone rates." Mr. Kennedy quite failed to state that the delegation he charged with having done these things was made up entirely of bolters now In the Benson faction. The list of minor speakers Includes Can didates Fleming, Stuht, Robertson, Berry man, Kuncl, Schmidt and Lobeck. -The volatile gentleman from the First met all expectation and was well worth the money. Benaon as the Workers' Friend.' Tha Fifth Ward Democratic club he'd i meeting at McKenna'e hall, corner cf Sbtr man avenue and Locust street, last night. with about forty present. . The speakers were E. E. Howell, candidate for mayor; M. P. O'Connor, candidate for city clerk; C. O. Lobeck. candidate for comptroller; Carl C. Wright, candidate for city attorney; John H. Grossman and others. Mr. Grossman paid his compliments to Candidate Benson, saying Jn part:" "Mr. Benson Is a fine candidate to pose as the friend of the worktngman. ' He can see tha workingman now, but hitherto and after the election he might fall over a laboring man and then tali to see blm. Ha haa been represented on bank directories and asso elated with banks and the real estate bus! ness with a seal that marks him aa the unqualified friend of the workingman and poor man. He was associated with the Bank of Commerce that went under and also with the Nebraska Savings bank that failed. Poor people were the general de posltors In these banks. He Is also allied with that branch of tho republican party that sent the last Douglas county delega tion to the legislature. He waa a good enough republican until Z o'clock Satur day afternoon, April 11, when he saw that his faction was beaten, then he bolted. He is a man full of brilliant platitudes before election; In fact, he is conducting his cam palgn on a series of platitudes that can de celva no one but himself." Ed E. Howell briefly promised to, stand on the platform of the democratic party both before and after the election. Carl C. Wright, candidate for. city at torney, said: It has been charged that t am an attorney for one ot the corpora Hons. The only time that I was an at torney for one of them waa In assisting the electrlo light company to secure the Injunction against granting the power rrancnise." Benaon Electa Himself. ''Unless a terrible revolution aets in be tween this and May E, I will be your next mayor," remarked Erastus A. Benson out In the Second ward last nle.ht. Mr. Ben son and John P. Breen and one A. A. Wormsley were the speaker of the evening the event transpiring In Keasler'a hall on Thirteenth, near Pierce atreet. At 1:40, when the performance began just twenty-seven persons were within the enclosure, counting the three speakers John F. Btout, W. W. Bingham. F. W. Koetter, late representative, and others from wards other than the Second. It looked so much like a "frost" that heroic measures had to be taken and A. A. Worm sley, an Itinerant lawyer with a huge voice, waa put up to talk. A number ot Moores me on the outside heard the noise and were attracted to the hall, but many left aa soon as they saw what was going on. Mr. Wormsley took up his shifting abode In Omaha last fall. He first came Into evidence one night at Washington hall when the Union Pacific strikers were hold ing what they called an autt-tnj jnctlon meeting. He drifted In from the north somewhere and made a speech, similar In prima essentials, to tha one he let go of last night. 8Ince thst time be has not been In tha city continuously, but he Is thoroughly charged with tha antl-Moores fever and absolutely convinced of the Im perative necessity of a "change" la mu nicipal affairs. Brers Didn't Mae Them. John r. Breen discoursed for over an hour. In the course of hla remarks on mat ters of taxation, he took occasion to say, regarding the defeat of measures for equal taxation In the last legislature: "I am aorry to say those measures were defeated by our republican members and I hope to God that we will never send an other such bunch as that to Lincoln." Representative Koetter was the only member of this prise delegation present to get the benefit of this compliment. Mr, Benson occupied only a few minutes, not having the opportunity to speak until after 10 o'clock. He repeated what he had said In his Sixth -ward speech, that he thought politics had no place In mu nicipal government. Frank E. Wooley acted as chairman ot the meeting. BRICKLAYERS FOR MOORES Omaha I'aloa Endorses the Mayor for ' Re-election " at a Largely Attended Meeting. At a meeting of the Bricklayers' untou last night Frank E. Moores was endorsed as candidate for mayor. There were forty five members ot the union present, a larger attendance than usual. Fred Hoye. candi date for councilman from the Second ward, was also endorsed while Charles Wlthnell, a member ot the union; waa endorsed for the office ot building, Inspector. EVERYBODY DELIGHTED.

The Kountze Memorial church was fairly well filled lsst night by an audience com posed of the fr'.ecdi snl admirers of Mr. Carl Frederick Steckelberg, who assembled to hear a very Interesting program which he had prepared for them, and incidentally to greet the violinist officially, as It were. that is, as an audience, before hla final leave-taking for the musical shrines In Europe. The program opened with the famous Norwegian mountain and fiord-colored son ata op. 13 of Grieg, which Mr. Steckelberg and Miss Marie Hoover of Lincoln treated with a skill and taste and unanimity which showed individual ability and careful pre paratory rehearsal. In addition Mr. Steck elberg played a brace of numbers, all of which were gems in violin literature, and the "Airs Russes" of Wicnlawskl. Mr. Steckelberg excels in warmth of tone and breadth of delivery. His "mezzo and low voice" (to borrow from the singer) la especially beautiful and every tone is vi brant with Intensity. Technically, he Is well equipped and with the maturity which a few years more will bring, he will gain a velvety sureness In the extreme upper tones and a clearness of harmonics which will round out his work as a virtuoso. Mr. Steckelberg certainly has the "divine spark" and he will doubtless come back to his own again full of glory and honor. Miss Marie Hoover was g vt n a reception equal to that ot the star, and she created a splendid Impression. She has a sincere and unaffected olyle and In both, solo work and accompanlmenta she pleased the musi cians. For solo numbers she give a "Klav lerstuck" by Strauss and a Chamlnade number, responding to a resistless encore with a Nevln sketch. Her technique, her grace aud her style displayed the musician. Miss Hoover will be a welcome pianist at all times. One of the interesting features of the program was tho trio played by Mr. Carl Steckelberg. violinist, Mr. Henry Steckel berg (father) 'cellist, and Miss Hcover, pianist. It was as good a piece of ensemble playing as has been heard locally for yeira. The audience showed Its good taste and his discernment by Insisting on another offer ing, which was cheerfully given. Mr. Steckelberg, sr., draws a beautiful tone and his psst work In. connection with the Theodore Thomas orchestra came very plainly to the front last night In the ma ture, deliberate, accommodates manner In which he supplemented and adapted his part at all times to the ensemble the .real test ot an ensemble player. The concert was a very hlgly enjoyable one and one that will be remembered pleis antly In connection with the other concert In the same place on the corresponding night last week, when' MV.1 Cuscaden,' an other, of the distinguished, young rmaeatrl, held , the j boards.
