QUEER CRAZE FOE NIETZSCHE Readers Who Like Ckestertoa Also Bar Ciloomy Books of . Other A athor Reading Books to Workmen. LONDON, Nov. 14. (Speclal.)-Bome big private collections of books have been put up at auction lately, and then have been suddenly bought in again by the owners. Boveral other collections which were known to be ripening for the market have likewise dropped out of sight again In the same mysterious manner. For Instance, a fourth edition of "Hamlet," for which the owner had announced tils willingness to take $2,000. was withdrawn on the day of sale. On speaking to one of tho auctioneers about this curious situation, an explana tlon was furnished by the fact that the agents of wealthy American book lovers have been active recently in buying up privately as many literary treasures as they could put their hands on. J. P. Mor gan has acquired a largo percentage of these and he Is said to be averse to having works which he intends to purchase put up at auction. He would rather pay con siderably more for a book by private treaty than at a public sale. Taradox la Tasta. A London bookseller, who makes a spe cialty of "new-thought" books tells, me there Is a queer run on books by the morose, cranky Nietische, who ended his days In madness, and on the other hand on books by the robust and amiable Ches terton. Strange to say, the people who mose enjoy the gloomy picture of life portrayed by" tho German author, are the very ones who delight in O. K. Chesterton. I asked ?or an explanation of this parodox. In taste. "I can only account for it," said the bookseller, "by the fact that the person who has had a good dose of Nietzsche, needs Chesterton or Mark Twain to take the taste out of his mouth. I nrust admit that In the last five years there has been almost a revolution In thought In England. A few years ago, readers were more fond of cheerful books than they are now. At present, everybody Is buying books which contain problems of some kind, ranging from marriage to psychology. The 'novel with a purpose' has come back with a vengeance. I am constantly asked tho question, 'What social problem does this book deal with?" before a reader decides to buy. It was for this reason that we rer cently set out some tables In our shop on which were spread 'literary banquets.' Present Attitude Not Healthy "I do no regard the present attitude," continued the book seller, " as a healthy one at all. Of course, novelists must study the trend of events,' but It seems a pity that literary production should depend so largely as Is does now upon the use of bizarre themes In order to make books go. A few succctsful novelists still deal with tha old-fashioned 'humanities' and love stories of the domestic kind, but sales of such works are dropping off." A curious little story has Just come to light concerning Guy Thome, author of a number of thrilling serials, and of the much-advertised book,- "When It Wus Dark" and other tales. Shortly before Thorne "struck lie" In real authorship he found It necessary to apply for a position on one of the big London dallies, which wo might indicate by saying that it claims the largest circulation of any halfpenny paper published In England. The now successful author was appointed an assistant editor of this paper, and It seems that the editor persisted In putting upon the yqung man work of a more or less Ignominious char acter. One day the editor sent his assistant out with the request, "Just fetch me u glass of water, please." Thorne presently returned . with the water, but Instead of giving It to his chief, dashed It over, him, with a remark to the effect that hence forth he could wait on himself. It is hardly necessary to say that there was a vacancy In Mr. Thome's department from that time on. This experience will account perhaps for his hatred of any sort of newspaper work, and also for his bitter feeling to wards newspapers In general, despite the fact that most of his success has come from the publication of serials In a large number of papers. . . East End Reputation. The East End of London has recently achieved a literary reputation ' for Itself. In the first place, out of the East End slums has come a "senior wrangler" of Oxford. It must be mentioned in passing that it. is the "wranglers" who take all the honors at the university, and never be fore In the history of that great Institu tion has a first honor man come from the London slums. Another triumph for the 10a s t End consists in the fact that new libraries have recently sprung up In various parts of that benighted section, and a movement called "The Home Reading Circle," Is making great progress. Readers who Join this circle are expected to make studies of certain books and to write es says on the subjects they treat. The vari ous circles are controlled by the National Home Reading union, which gives certi ficates to the readers who show the great est mastery of their subjects. The presi dent of the union la rrincess Louise, who makes a point of signing all the certificates of merit with her own hand. The literary awakening of the East End in this manner is the outcome of the work started there by the late Sir Walter Hesant who helped to build the People's palace In the Wlilteehapol road, and his works are Immensely popular In the neighborhood. Siiu Bcsant's death, a number of In fluential authors. Including Israel Zang wlll, IVtt Ridge, Jerome K. Jerome and others have taken a keen personal interest in this movement. The stranger who goes to the East End today and Imagines that lie will find a class of ignorant people similar to those who lived there before Bcsant's time, will be much mistaken, Hraillug Hooks to Workmen. Another intereslnlng idea along the same lies is the reading of books during the meal-times of the working classes. A num ber of workers, for Instance, who are oc cupied In the same building, will have their lunch at the same table, and It la becom ing a custom for someone to read during lunch hour a book which has been chosen by the circle committee. Instead of every one talking about nothing In particular, they listen to the book and dlscusss It when they meet again at the usual weekly gathering. The subscription to the circle is 6 cents a year. CHARLE3 OGDENS. I. If la A part meat lloa.es. Owners of some apartment houses In St. Iuis have added a clause to tlu Ir leases which reads as follows: "And It is fur ther agreed by and between both parlies that, Khali the leasee cook or permit to be cooked In. the said premises any onions, cabbuge or other odoriferous vegetable, or anything which shall penetrate the common hallo of the premises, either in odr or smoke, this lease shall be void." Tills looks like an attempt to deprive the family of the natural right to enjoy what they like at their own table, but tt has been decided that It Is good law. One of the legal opin ions given says: "The restrictions are In the mutual Interest of tenants.

In several apartment houses In that city the "no children" clause is In force. It aroused soma opposition .when first adopted, but It holds good. FRESH BALTIMORE OYSTERS.

YELLOW STREAK IN MOBS What a Few Brave Men Coold Do In a Boot with the Right Riders. A mob, anywhere you find It, Is a cow ardly body. This Is so of a banded crowd with shotguns and ponies, whether In Maine or In Kentucky. Let a sheriff show fight, let a squad of policemen march abieast toward the ranks of the outlaws, and they will disperse like quail before a pointer dog. Five brave, courageous men can rout a hundred whltecaps or night riders. The Instances are many when this has been demonstrated. In Vicksburg, some yenrs ago, James A. Gibson, district attorney, quietly spirited an alleged culprit from th? local Jail to the penitentiary nt Jackson. Meantime a mob had formed and, discover ing the ruse, fell upon Gibson, In Main street. For a moment the 800 men looked menacing. Suddenly Pat Henry, an inti mate of Gibson, appeared. In another min ute Charley J. Scarles.was with them. Then along came "Wild Bill" McLaurin, brother to the senator. "I'll give you fellows five mlnut?s by the watch to disperse and get off the streets'." shouted Gibson to tho mob. "It" you are in s'ght when the time Is up, we four men will run each of you In the river." Tha Gibson party drew their guns and watches. In two minutes there wasn't a mob. In Birmingham in 1 a locomotive en gineer had brutally slain a young woman and had enst her body in the lake. Tht, evening of his arrest 8.000 men formed to break down the Jail and lynch him. As they approached, the sheriff, with twenty deputies inside the Jail lnclosure, warned them of their peril should they come nearer. The mob hooted and a pistol was fired. In five seconds a score of men. among them the postmaster, lay dying. Next morning there was peace. Senator McLaurin himself, while district attorney of Smith county, Mississippi, rescued a negro from a mob of if, 000. He backed tho trembling creature Up against a tree, shielding him with his body, drew a revolver and dured one of them to lay hands on the prisoner. Then, seeing he hud the situation In hand, he marched Ms man back to Jail. The greatest mob of modern times oc curred In New Orleans In 1893, when eleven members of the Mafia were taken from the parish prison and hanged. They were accused of having assassinated Chief of Police Hennessey. Because of the Jury being bribed they were acquitted. Next morning half of New Orleans gath. ered around Clay statue, In Canal street A fiery address was made by Major Parker, and then the mob rushed to ths Jail. After an hour's bloody work some one said: "Let's go after the jury and the detective who bribed It." The Jurymen had fled. But the detec tive, with one friend by his side at his Dome, sent word to the mob where he was , snd Invited it to come and do Its worst. But he was not visited, and that night he freely walked the streets. It took culd nerve to do this, but this man bad it. One day, twenty years ago, I sat on tha porch of ttie Palace hotel (all hotels In western Texas are palaces) at Sweetwater. The saloon of Schlefflln at Oulllot was next door. Across ths street was another gin mill, run by four brothers of ths nam of Ward. They came across tho street leis urely, walked inside and began firing. After murdering the three men connected with their rival saloon they returned to their own place and sent to a livery stable for horses. In those days every Texan was sup posed to bo a fighter. Cowboys, team sters and ranchmen were In this town by the hundreds. They collected In a body. By this time the Ward boys had got their feet In stirrups, and with six shooters flourishing rode away. No one followed, no one gave the command to halt. The grim courage of the assassins appalled and awed them. Take the case of Robert Sims, In Choc taw county, Alabama, fifteen years ago. Sims was a free-love advocate. He made moonshine and defied the revenue col lectors. One day he was overpowered and was being transported to Mobile, when some of his followers overtook the deputy marshal's posse, killed three of them, rescued Sims and took him back. On Chrlstmns day, 1891, six of his men were lynched. Still, In his home, with his two beautiful daughters as his only aid, he held off a mob of 1,000 for nine days. At last, however, he was lynched. In one of the small villages of Har rison county, Indiana, In which, by the way, there never was the face of a col ored man shown since 18G9, a mob took a woman out one night and. stripping her, whipped her brutally. The charge was that she had mistreated her step children. At the time of the assault her husband was absent. But next day this man, suspecting the barbarians, visited each Und every one Individually, tweaked their noses and spat In their faces. Then he went home unscathed to nurse his wife's wounds. Speaking of mobs, I must tell a story. Some time ago, when the defaulting state treasurer, E. A. Burke, ran a New Orleans newspaper, a man was arrested In ono of the parishes across Manchase, charged with a heinous crime. Mr. Burke sent a reporter over In a tug, there being no other means of communication. The tel egraph wires were down. The mob that had gathered hesitated about using the rope. Finally the reporter Interceded: "See here, boys," he said, "If you are going to lynch this man, do it now. I've Just got time to reach the office to get the item In the paper." And to accommodate the reporter the man was hanged, and the reporter scored a Scoop. Chattanooga Times. A BULL FIGHTSTW0 TIGERS Lords of the Jangle Show Wholesome Respect for Ball's Horns. In the bull-ring at Juarez, El Paso, Tex., on October 18 last, there was held a fight between a bull and a tiger. According to the newspaper reports, the animals, which were locked In an Iron cage, fought fiercely. The bull, although hampered by lack of spaco finally dispatched the tiger; not, however, until he was himself wounded so seriously that he will die. Thousands of people paid admission and saw the bloody, brutal spectacle. The Mexican of ficials make no effort to stop It. A similar fight was held In Franco Inst summer, and some of Its phases are shown In photo graphs. The battle was arraiged by some Frenchmen of Marseilles, who built - a large circular Iron cage on a private estate near that city because the police authorities had refused to give permission for a public exhibition. About a hundred people were admitted and several hundred mora looked on from neighboring roofs and treetops. Two Sumatra tigers and one Spanish bull were the principal actors. Tho tigers, however, according to the report of a French Journalist who was a spectator, were not in fighting mood on that day. The first one made a feeble attempt at seising the bull by tho neck, but the latter tossed him away, and there after the tiger crouched against the Iron bars as far away from his opponent as possible. The bull, too, apparently had enough, for ho remained calmly In the center of the cnge. Attendants waved red flags, but the bull did not seem to be In terested In these. Then they tried to start up the. tiger by poking him with sharp slicks, setting off firecrackers under lilm, and squirting him with seltzer-water siphons. The tiger merely changed his posi tion, displaying a certain ill-humor toward the humans who were tormenting him, but showing no Intention of bothering the bull who was not annoying him. It was then decided to-let the second tiger In. This ono approached the bull, but after having his paw hooked by the bull's horn he went speedily to Join the other of his kind. There was great dissatisfaction among the spec tators on account of the refusal of the ani mals to fight, and the management promised another fight for the next day. Scarcely, however, had the bull been re turned to the stable, says the French Jour nalist, when the police took It Into thel heads to take the part of the peaceful ani mals as against the ferocious onlookers. They broke Into the arena, drove out the spectators, and arrested tho organisers of the sport, who. protested vehemently against this Invasion of a private domain. Never theless, they were carried off to tho pollco satlon. The animals, remarks tha French journalist, which did not want to fight, did not fight, but they saw men quarreling among themselves, and that at least may have given them some pleasure Collier's Weekly.
