# The New International Encyclopædia/Roosevelt, Robert Barnwell

Edition of 1905. See also Robert Roosevelt on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
ROOSEVELT, Robert Barnwell (1829—). An American author and reformer. He was born in New York City, and was the son of Nicholas van Schaick Roosevelt and an uncle of Theodore Roosevelt. He was admitted to the bar in 1850, and practiced with success for many years. In 1867 he brought about the formation of the New York State Fishery Commission, and until 1888, when he became United States Minister to Holland, was one of its commissioners. He first entered active politics as an opponent of the Tweed ‘Ring,’ and as an organizer of the ‘Committee of Seventy,’ as vice-president of the Reform Club, and as an editor of the Citizen, he did much to break up that organization. In 1870 he was elected to the lower House of Congress, and served there with credit. He published: The Game Birds of North America (1860); The Game Birds of the North (1860); Superior Fishing (1866); Florida and the Game Water Birds (1868); and Progressive Petticoats (1871).

See also Black Hills on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Black Hills, a range of mountains in South Dakota and Wyoming, about 100 miles long and 60 miles wide, or an area of about 6,000 square miles. They are a continuation of the Big Horn and Snow Mountains, which branch off from the Rockies. The highest point is Laramie Peak, in Wyoming, nearly 8,000 feet above sea-level. About one third of the area is covered with vast forests of black pine, giving the name to the mountain range. Gold has been discovered and extensively mined in the Black Hills, and other mineral wealth is believed to be abundant. The value of the mineral products of South Dakota in 1905, which were chiefly gold, was close upon seven million dollars; though this is a large falling off from the era of the seventies, when the region was opened to settlement. Harney Peak is the most elevated point in the Black Hills, reaching an altitude of over 7,200 feet.

The name comes from the forests of dark balsams on its summits. It has twelve peaks, all higher than Mt. Washington, the highest being the Black Dome or Mitchell’s Peak, as it is called in honor of Dr. Mitchell, of the University of North Carolina, who perished while exploring the mountain and was buried on its top.

See also Blackbird on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Blackbird, a common name for a number of birds of black plumage, some of them only distantly related. In America several birds receive this name. The crow-blackbird or purple grackle is one of the common blackbirds; it lives in flocks. The rusty blackbird is less common. The red-winged blackbird is abundant in swamps and marshes of the United States. It is, really, a starling. The common blackbird of Great Britain and Europe is the merle; it is closely related to the American robin, which it resembles in form and habits, but is, of course, black. It is a true thrush.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Black Sea

See also Black Sea on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Black Sea or Euxine, meaning “hospitable,” is an inland sea lying between Europe and Asia. Its greatest length is 720 miles, its greatest breadth 380 miles, and it covers 163,711 square miles or, including the Sea of Azov, 172,500 miles. It is thus more than five times as large as Lake Superior. Its depth in the center is over a thousand fathoms. It is connected with the Sea of Azov on the northeast, and flows into the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmora and the Dardanelles. Many large rivers flow into it, and it drains nearly one-quarter of the surface of Europe, besides a large area of Asia. There is only one island in it, the Adassi or Isle of Serpents, opposite the mouths of the Danube. There are many important ports along the coast, such as Kustendji, Odessa, Trebizond and Sebastopol. In summer navigation is safe and easy; but in winter, when the sea is closed on every side, conflicting winds rage over it, and short but terrible storms are frequent. There is no tide, but the large rivers flowing into it give rise to currents. The sea has been known and navigated from a very early period. For many years it was under the control of Turkey alone, but now both Russia and Turkey maintain fleets in its waters, and it is open to the commerce of all nations.

Black′more, Richard Doddridge, a well-known novelist, was born in Berkshire, England, in 1825, and graduated at Exeter College, Oxford. He studied law, and was called to the bar, but practiced only a short time. He was fond of gardening, and so, in his novels, his descriptions of nature are his best efforts. With the exception of Lorna Doone, a Romance of Exmoor, his works lack movement and life. Lorna Doone however, is considered one of the best romances in the English language. Other stories are Springhaven, Alice Lorraine and The Maid of Sker. He has also translated the Georgics of Vergil. He died Jan, 20, 1900.

# The New York Times/1904/10/1/English Translations of Sue

Appears on October 1, 1904, in the section "SATURDAY REVIEW OF BOOKS", Page RB658.
New York Times Book Review:
In a letter to The Book Review of Aug. 6 Mr. Peter Cadley, objecting to the incompleteness of the translation of Eugene Sue's "Les Mysteres du Peuple" published by the New York Labor News Company, advised those who desired to become more acquainted with the work to read the translation published by Trübner & Co. of London in 1863.
Trübner & Co., with David Nutt, did in 1863, publish a translation by K.R.H.M of "Les Mysteres du Peuple," entitled "The Rival Races; or, The Sons of Joel," but this, I am informed by publishers, has long been out of print.
Moreover, it was by no means complete. I quote here from the translator's preface: "Many parts of the work had also to be modified in tone, the license of French imagination overstepping the confines of English taste. The portion referring to the events which terminated at the beginning of the Christian era was held to be especially objectionable; and the translator takes this opportunity of assuring the curious reader that nothing is lost by the omission, as, in every sense, that section of the novel is the weakest, least effectual, and worst written." So that, with the exception of a meagre epitome of some dozen or so lines conclusion, none of "The Silver Cross" appears.
The edition is in three volumes and contains ten of the eighteen stories, beginning with "The Dragoon's Helmet" and ending with "The Pilgrim's Shell." It is professedly an abridgment.

# The New York Times/1904/8/27/The Mysteries of the People

Appearing in August 27, 1904 section SATURDAY REVIEW OF BOOKS, Page BR58
New York Times Book Review:
The interesting discussion on "The Pilgrim's Shell" now going on in The Book Review seems to furnish conclusive evidence that Eugene Sue's great masterpiece "The Mysteries of the People," of which "The Pilgrim's Shell" is one of the gems, is not generally known to English-speaking readers, Mr. Peter Cadley to the contrary notwithstanding.
About five years ago I read "The Silver Cross," another of the social dramas taken from the same source. I liked it so well that I sought for more of the work. Few among booksellers and librarians know of it in English. One librarian looked up a biographical sketch of Sue in an effort to convince me that the work I wanted was the same author's "Mysteries of Paris." The New York Labor News Company's "Pilgrim's Shell" is the first I have found of Sue's great work since reading "The Silver Cross."
Mr. Cadley calls the present volume a catchpenny affair. Catchpenny means inferior, showy, gotten up to attract and fool buyers. I can assure you this stricture does not apply to "The Pilgim's Shell." As your reviewer showed, the purpose of the translator and publishers is to help along the labor movement by furnishing a lesson from the past to enlighten the movement of to-day.
Besides being a well-made book, its translator, Daniel De Leon, is not only thoroughly conversant with the French language, but is himself an authority on the industrial and social development of the race, a phase of which the book treats. The translator is a graduate of Leyden University and is master of most modern languages, besides being a Greek and Latin scholar. He made a deep study of history, philosophy, and mathematics. When he returned to this continent De Leon became interested in Cuban liberation, and later came to the United States. He was graduated from Columbia Law School with honors, and was Lecturer on International Law at Columbia for six years. he became interested in the labor movement which ran Henry George for Mayor in this city. This led to a severance of his connection with Columbia. De Leon next studied the theories of Karl Marx and soon became their leading proponent in this country. He is at present in Amsterdam, Holland, as a delegate to the International Socialist Congress.

DANGEROUS OPERATION ON THOMAS A. EDISON
__________
Surgeons Remove Mastoid Abscess Near the Inventor's Ear.
__________
Action Hurried to Prevent Blood Poisoning-Patient Has Long Suffered from Trouble.
______
Special to The New York Times.
ORANGE, Tuesday, Jan. 24. - A serious operation was performed on Thomas A. Edison, the investor, at his home, Glenmont, in Llewellyn Park, a suburb of West Orange, last last night, and at 1:30 o'clock this morning he had not recovered from the effects of the anaesthetic.
The operation was for a mastoid abscess behind the left ear and very close to the brain. The doctors began work shortly before 11 o'clock and finished at midnight. The operating surgeon was Dr. Arthur B. Duel of 254 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, assisted by Dr. Edward B. Bench of 17 West Forty-fifth Street, an assistant, who administered the anaesthetic. Dr. John Hammond Bradshaw of Orange, the Edison family physician, was also present.
Mr. Edison, as has been generally known, has been deaf for many years. He was taken ill about a year ago, suffering great pain, but was still able to be about. An operation was broached several days ago, but there was strong hope until yesterday that it might be avoided.
It developed yesterday, however, that, while Mr. Edison was better in many particulars, the growth was not yielding to treatment, and the conclusion was reached that the operation would have to be performed at once.
Mr. Edison was told, and immediately preparations were made. Dr. Duel arrived in Orange after dinner with his assistant. Mr. Edison seemed perfectly composed though fully realizing the seriousness of the matter.
At 1:40 o'clock this morning it was said that Mr. Edison's general condition was good and that there was no immediate danger. The operation was pronounced a success, and it was said that it had been performed just in time to save much more serious trouble. Dr. Bradshaw made the following statement:
"It was decided this afternoon that it was best to operate before Mr. Edison's life was placed in jeopardy and to prevent blood poisoning. The indications thus far are favorable. Mr. Edison has rallied well and there are no untoward symptoms at the present time. His life is not now considered in danger."
Dr. Duel, it was said, would remain at the patient's bedside all night.
The annual ball of the employes of the Edison works at West Orange, numbering about 2,000, was held here to-night, under the auspices of the factory fire department. Many of the higher officials of the company attended, all being ignorant of the fact that their chief was under the surgeon's knife. Mr. Edison is fifty-seven years old.

# The New Penelope/Wayward Love

WAYWARD LOVE.
I leant above your chair last night, And on your brow once and again, I pressed a kiss as still and light As I would have your bosom's pain. You did not feel the gentle touch, It gave you neither grief nor pleasure, Though that caress held, oh, so much, Of love and blessing without measure.
Thus ever when I see you sad, My heart toward you overflows; But when again you're gay and glad, I shrink back into cold repose, I know not why I like you best, O'erclouded by a passing sorrow— Unless because it gives a zest To the insouciance of to-morrow.
You're welcome to my light caress, And all the love that with it went; To live, and love you any less, Would rob me of my soul's content. ​Continue sometimes to be sad, That I may feel that pity tender, Which grieves for you, and yet is glad Of an excuse for love's surrender.
