"Trust Finance," by Edward Sherwood
Meade, Ph. D., Is a study of the genesis
of organization and management of Indus
trial combinations. In his preface Dr.
Meads calls attention to the conditions of
overcapitalisation which meance business
security. He has studied the methods em
ployed In the promotion and financing of
the trust, the method of Its financial man
agement nd the basis and justification ot
Its capitalization. The reader will follow
the history of the competitive situation out
of which the trust arose and learn many
important views of economic Influences.
The vast and Intricate subject which has
been considered Is treated as exhaustively
as the scope of the book permits. While
the author has no program of trust regu
lation to advocate, he favors national con
trol of trust corporations. Ills argument Is
substantiated by a large amount of tech
nical Information. Published by D. Apple-
ton A Co.
"With the Trees," by Maud Coring, au
thor of "With the Wild JFlowers," "Field
Forest and Wayside Flowers," and other
sketches, haa written a notable work which
is illustrated from photographs by Ed
mund II. Lincoln and C. B. Goring. The
book shows tha rare botanical knowledge
of the biography of the dwellers of tha
forest.' The writer follows the habits of
the curiously rigid sleeping foliage,
through entertaining pages which assert
that the sleep habit is by no means unl
versa! among leaves. The sleeping leaves
are aald to generally possess a smooth sur
face and a thin, delicate leaf skin. On
chilly nights other leaves "turn edgewise
to the sky and Cuddle close together." The
sagebrush of the ' dry plains is shown
clothed with short, dense hairs to protect
It from the noon'eun blazes, and a like
covering Is saM to protect the deserf wit
low. The book Is not only valuable for Its
artistic quality, but may lead to many
economic views.- The farmers may learn
why the presence of barberry bushes In
the neighborhood of a wheatfleld produces
"red rust," and how the plant parasite
covers the growing grain when blown by
the . wind.' the minute spores reach their
goal, and absorb the life of tho young
grain plant. Published by the Baker A
. Taylor company. .
"Jack. Henderson Down East" Is a neat
little, book of slangy humor of the travel
lng salesman order In which the aforesaid
Jack writes to his friend Billy about his
experiences. In Buffalo, Boston, Washing'
ton .and elsewhere. The extortionate
charges encountered In the first named city
lead thla Chicago traveler to the conclusion
that "Chicaga may be a good town fot
coarse workers and holdup men," but It
still has much to. learn from Buffalo hotel
keepers. In Boston a policeman told him

Ions of Change and Cham.
Ions of Conservatism.
The. Protestant Episcopal clergy and
laity of the diocese of Nebraska have de
cided not to commit themselves fully on
the proposition to change their church
name until the thirty-seventh annual coun
cil of the diocese one year hence, and
to wage. In the meantime, a campaign of
education. In thla campaign the advocatea
of changing to some more catholic title
are to undertake to persuade the conser
vative element that such a change will ba
for the best, and the conservative element,
In turn, haa announced that tt will do
what It can to persuade the friends of a
change that their attitude la unwise and
their prosopitlon not for the beat Interest
of the church
Such, In brief, la the result of the Initial
skirmish between the contending forces
yesterday at the last sessions of the thirty
sixth annual council, held In Trinity cathe
dral. A committee appointed Wednesday
by Bishop Williams to consider his ad
dress in which he had spoken favorably
of the change, and to draft resolutions
that ahould bring the matter before the
council In debatable form, atood divided
yesterday when It came time for tha re
port, and had to bring in a majority and
a minority report.

protested to England because tha British
government had forbidden tha burning of

Sidewalk Inspector Keeded.
Business men say tha city needa a side
walk Inspector. Policemen on beats and
city offlclala generally are supposed to re
port to tha engineer defects In walks, but
this Is not done. Complaint la made that
permanent walka have aunken below tha
curb lines and accidents are likely to hap
pen at any time. Accldenta of thla sort
would possibly lay tha elty liable to dam
ages and the- taxpayers at large would have
to pay for the neglect of a few property
ownera. City offlclala are now considering
the advisability of requesting tha mayor to
appoint an Inspector for a couple of months
In order that soma of the walka In the cen
tral part of the city may be fixed up.
