This ia high praise, to which we will aoo
that, from such examination as we nave oeeA
able to give i" The Hidden Path" we are oe'
cidedly of the opinion that it is far superior
to "Alone." The gifted authoress is oes'
tined, we feel sure, to become the first female
novelist of America. A more extended no.
tice of her new work will be published here
after.
The book is published by j. c. Derby, Of
New York, but we can't say as much for the
externals as for "Alone," which was publish
ed in much handsomer style, according to
our taste, by Mr. A. Morris, of this city.
For sale by booksellers generally.
THE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION.
The Enquirer, al the suggestion of cor
respondent, has looked up and counted the
vote of Wood county in the capitol, ana
found that Flournoy's majority in that coun
| ty was 253 instead of 90 as appeared from the
official table published by that paper. This
discovery diminishes the majority OF Mr.
Wise to 1908. This is pretty close shaw
ing upon 10000. the majority on which there
was considerable betting.
| LAGER BEER.-The New York Supreme
| Court for the End Judicial Circuit has just

Beer case tried some time since in POUCH.
keepsie, in which the defendant was convic-
ted by the county court of violating the pro-
hibitory liquor law. The Supreme Court
reversed the decision and placed Lager Beer
on the list of non prohibited beverages
Under this decision the much derided "lager"
will become very popular beverage in the
Empire State
IMPORTANT SPEECH IN PARLIAMENT. I'VE
learn by the North st ar that Earl Grey has
made very remarkable speech in the
House of Lords. In the course of his speech
he deprecated the Turkish loan bill in all its
provisions and warned the peers of Interior
complications with France on account of
England endorsing the solvency of such a
corrupt effete and tottering government as
that of Turkey. 1t could not exist, he said,
as kingdom for forty years. In his opin-
ion the war was demOralizing the PEE pie Of
Great Britain, and its consequent taxation
would force the people to emigrate and thus
aid a commercial rival b eyond the Atlantic.
