A few weeks ago Lieutenant Won Geyso, young

was stationed that hundreds followed his body TO
its premature grave. One afternoon during some

To the Editor OF The REPUBfJCAS;
Iwould like to inquire, Mr. Editor, II you know
of any way to suppress the theatre nuisance? Last
night was witness to the rude conduct of party
of three males and three females that should not
be permitted IL there is any way to restrain people
from showing their bad breeding when in the
company of ladies and gentlemen. The beautiful
play Of "The Hunchbnck" was entirely spoiled To
all who sat near this party by their constant loud
talking which could be heard above the voices
from the stage. The most beautiful expressions
IN the play were marred by the continual
talking of these people, who seemed to pny
no attention to the play; for, besides talking
they inaugurated post Office and passed written
messages back and 'orth, thus annoying further
the ladies and gentlemen who sat in front of and
behind them by getting up aud down and reach
ing back and forth One of the men, after passing
his message down the line. damned his elbow
against ladys head who sat IN front of him,
nearly knocking her hat oil. He did not even
apologlze-of course not. Not long since was
compelled to change my seat on account OF just
such an annoyance. Now, Mr.. Editor, If you can
suggest any plan to prevent such nuiSanCcs, you
will receive the thanks of thousands Of ladies and
gentlemen who attend the theatre to hear the play
and not to annoy their neighbors.

IAN PGTTENGER. Philadelphia: J. h. Lippincott

OF all the works founded upon incidents Of the
late war none have been more intensely interest
ing than the one now under consideration. II has
all the attributes Of the widest romance, with the
additional interest that the scenes and incidents
therein described the records Of absolute facts.
Some portions Of this narrative Of daring intre-
pidity are rs thrilling, as intensely drama ic, and
as exciting as any that the most imaginative writer
of fiction can conceive of, and the entire
enterprise described possesses all the unity Of u
dmma, from the first plunge Of the actors into the
heart OF the cnomy's country, through all their
adventures and changing fortunes, until the few
SURVIVORS stood once more under the old flag. No
single story Of the war combines many of the
hidden elements of the contest against the rebel
lion as this. Disguise and secrecy, the pcrls of a
forlorn hope, the eXultation Of almost miraculous
success, the suffering of prisoners and the gloom OF
despair arc all mingled in varied and instruct

In the selection of gift books for children In
their teens 1t is wise to choose those which will
afford instruction as well as amusement To write
n history of n country so remote from our own rs
Russia which shall interest q child and leave
upon his mind historic facts is no easy task, and
the attractive manner In which Mr.. Dole has writ
ten this book proves how thoroughly he under
stands the youthful modes of thought. He begins
with the Norman ancestry of the Russians and
preserves the salient points in the history
Of that strange and powerful though
semi baEbaric =, people down to the present
tho reforms that have been made have seemed to
be attempts to undo what that great monarch did
tried TO do; and the struggle Is still going on. So
the history of modern Russia is that of transition.
which is Mt this time by no means complete. The
author has, rs far as possible substituted English
equivalents for the multi-lettered Russian names,
and has given full force to the poetic past well
ms the sombrc present OF that vast country. The
book Is profusely illustrated.
