MAYOR PILLsBURY, of Minneapolis, when
he becomes such tomorrow, will be greatly
embarrassed by the municipal situation.
Mayor Ames has closed the gambling houses
and is enforcing the night and Sunday saloon
closing state law. Pillsbury must either ac-
cept the situation and continue the enforce.
ment, or he will be obliged to reinstate those
who have been afflicted by the retiring mayor.
The Pillsbury organs are complaining that il
is not fair deal. In other words Mr.. Pills
bury's promises of thigh moral" administra-
ton were electioneering lodges, and he did
not intend to carry them out. Now he must
do so or formally revoke Mayor Ames' re-
pressive policy.

Of what should book with such title
Newport Of laughter and gaiety, of
flirtations and waltzes, of French opera and
the crush and sparkle of the driving throng
on Bellevue avenue? Well, they are all re-
produced here with the brilliant sunshine
over all, and the smell of salt water and
ocean weeds on the air, and on the cliffs the
sounds of the foghorn and the hollow echo
of inrolling waves. All the proper dramatis
PERSONA are here too. The scheming wo-
man of fashion, the naughty beauty, the art
less maiden and the gossip, with the specu-
lator grown suddenly rich, the heavy banker,
the cynical misanthrope, the impeeunious
genius, and large army of dudes ''trotting
about in their small, tight wasted getaways,
or in their long tailed incroyable coats, that
give them playful likeness to moths of ex-
aggerated size" What is the play? The
old, old story of Love with its pleasure and
happiness or its bitterness and despair. The
interest does not flag, but increases to the
tragical end. The plot is not intricate and
the play is natural. The actors talk and act
like everyday people, enjoying the sunshine
of prosperity and unthinkingly sowing the
seeds of unhappiness and sorrow, to be
reaped bye and by.

WASHINGTON is excited over forthcoming d-

mentioned, it is asserted will be 'smore than a
surprise to the friends of the unhappy couple,
whose married life began so auspiciously a few
years ago with one of the most fashionable we'd
dings ever seen at the capital. The families held
high official positions, were possessed of wealth,
and the wedding, where the president, cabinet,
and all the prominent officials were guests, is a

JOHN BULL AND HIS ISLAND. By Max o'Rell.
Translated from the French. Published by
Charles Seribner's Sons, New York. Price so
cents.
Hasn't this Frcnchman set upa glass where
Johnnie Bulls may see the inmost part of
them! And yet it is a remarkably just book,
when one considers that he was writing
about nation who from time immemorial
have been the sworn enemies of his country
Would an Eneiishman have been as mag
unanimous Look with what ir-
reverent hands Byron handled their
hero-Napoleon. Probably genuine
John Bull will not enjoy this turning of his
eyes inward, but the rest of mankind will find
the book vastly amusing. One or two ex
tracts will give readers taste of the feast:
England, at heart, is generous; when she
has conquered people, she freely says to
them, 4 forgive you Outside his own
home John Bull is not communicative; he
leaves his neighbor alone and expects to re-
ceive like treatment at his hands. If you
remark to an Englishman that he has drop
ped some cigar ash on his trousers, he will
probably answer, For the past ten
minutes 1 have seen box of
matches on fire in your back coat
pocket, but L did not interfere with you for
that" The artist has painted the portrait
with great skill and precision. We see the
genuine John Bull, suspicious, reserved,
overbearing, proud, brave, calm, tenacious,
never losing sight of the main chance. The
book gives considerable information about
the eight little Island" and the author
closes with quotation from Voltaire, ''f /
had had to choose my birthplace would have
chosen England

by the Detroit News Company. Price 81 25
For sale by the American News Company, ST.

1t is very questionable whether story that
reVives all the horrors Of the civil war is wise
and judicious book. Andersonville prison
with its tortures, the hunting of Union
soldiers with blood-hounds, and
the cruel murder of the
Trenholm family werea disgrace to our nu-
mainly and civilization and no good can
possibly come from their revival. They
were the natural outcome of Salvary-the
sum of all villanies." The style of the
book resembles Victor Hugo's in some of
his later works, short, pithy sentences and
conversation in Southern patois like those of
the gamins of Paris in sLes Mserables.''

MY HOUSE. AN IDEAL-By Oliver B. Bunce,
author of Bachelor Bluff. From Charles Scrib-
ners Sons, New York Book and Stationery
company st. Paul. Price fifty cents.
In this era of fantastic architecture and
conglomerate monstrosities in building,
when people who pine for the preciousness
OF pure art erect homes of such peculiar con-
struction that stranger is confused regard
ing the purpose for which they were built,
whether for a church, house or barn, as one
side looks like a Swiss chalet, another
like Tudor mansion, and the front cross
between Moorish mosque and the PANTHEON
at Rome, it is delightful to look, although
only with the minds eye, at such house as
IAN Ideal" 1t comes like breath of pure
west wind when the air is heavy with arti-
fetal perfumes. ''My house is not costly
one nor builders or architects house, but
home, a retreat, place that charms;
spot that endears; home wherein the best
that is within us may blossom
The book abounds in hints not only for
building house with strong foundations,
ness, gloriied with sunlight, purified with
fresh air; but it gives pleasing arrangements
for finishing, decorating and furnishing the
interior. What contrast 'My House"
presents to the many homes one sees, where
china, pottery and articles of faience so be-
wilder the visitor and give the room the ap-
pearance of bric-a-brac Dealers. Where
instead of relieving empty spaces, and
Frightening up the room with piece of
Limoge faience, or Greecian urn, the
walls are hung with Kensington work, or
macrame lace or Japanese fans and banners.

CREATORS OF THE AGE OF STEEL. By W.
7. Jeans. Published by Charles Scribner' g
Sons, New York. For sale by st. Paul Book &
Stationery Co. Price $3.50.
Carlyle wrote can endless significance lies
in work; in idleness alone is there perpetual
despair" and what that "endless signif-
cancel is, this narrative of the ''Creators of
the Age of Steel" explains in so far as their
work affected the generation in which they
lived, and as it meant the advancement of
the human race. Sir Henry Bessemer, the
inventor of the Bessemer process of making
steel, seems to justify the assertion of Muir
head that inventors, by their grand, original
conceptions, seem to approach more nearly
than their fellows to the qualities and pre-
eminence of higher order of being" The
story of his life and his inventions, of his re-
peated disappointments and ultimate success
is one of great interest, as it is record of
persistent striving for the attainment of a
certain desirable good, undaunted by failures
or enemies, until success came and with it
honors for man who needed none. Sir
Henry Bessemer was forty years old and a
successful inventor of many things

the manufacture of iron. He com
menced the study of metallurgy and the
process of iron making as far as was then
known and in three years procured a pat
ent for the manufacture of malleable iron,
and steel without fnel by introducing air in
to cast-iron. By the Bessemer process
crude melted iron eau be converted
into steel by simply blowing through it for a
quarter of an hour or twenty minutes and
without any fuel other than that first required
to melt iron; so that steel could be made
for less than fifty dollars per ton instead of
one hundred and fifty. All this was the sole
conception of one man, and the supersedure
of iron by steel is the work of the creators of
steel.
Sir Henry Bessemer, Sir William Siemcns,
Sir Joseph Whitworth, Sir John Brown, Mr..
S. c. Thomas, Mr.. c. f. Snelus, were men
with no birthright but their talents, and no
other secret of success than the "magic of
patience" The author has presented the
short biographies of these men in very at
tractive manner, and at the same time much
valuable knowledge of the great industries
they have created.

IT was formally supposed that horse marines
were as least mythical as the Greek Kalends; but
all that seems changed. A telegram from Saukim
informed the world the other day that ''some of
the marines are being mounted" Thus horse
marines is no longer myth, but stern reality.
So one by one vanish the most cheerful illusions
of our earlier days.

MONFTFR IN THENINErIES

SavaunahIans Seeking n Breeze at the
Reach and on the Salts-The Resorts
Crowdcd-Citizens Trying TO Keen
Cool Under Burning sun.
The thermometer lowered among the
nineties in the shade yesterday, and the
sun pelted down on the pavements and
the drv sand in the streets until i fairly
burned. The heat was sweltering, and
the few people who went out Of doors
were compelled 70 beat retreat
under cover from the scorching rays The
churches were poorly attended. The
streets during the day were deserted py
all except those who were compelled 70 &c
out or who we're erowding TO the steamer
and trains to the seaside ana
the salts. The morning opened
clear. but cool breeze was
blowing and mercury had not gone above
= degrees up 70 Z O'Clock. As the lore
noon advanced the heat grew intense ana
At IL O'Clock the thermometer registered -
The wind died out and the sun, uuoo-
scured BY clouds, poured down his rays on
ne earth until everything seem scorehed.
At 9 O'Clock the mercury at the Signal
station stood at %. the highest II mas
reached this year. At O'Clock last night
il dropped to 80, and at IL O'Clock II Was
STATIONARY at 81. Those who were out
had no doubt that it was the hottest day
OF the season.
The mild beginning on Saturday pre-
pared the people FOR the coming Of the
high pressure term, and there was a rush
for the resorts and a days outing where
there was a chance for a breeze. The
steamer Sylvan Glen made two
trims 10 Tybee and carried an
immense thrOng OF people. The
morning boat was loaded and the alter
noon boat was packed. The tramway
cars. were tested 70 their fullest capacity
70 carry the crowds. The beach was
lined and the surf was filed with bathers-
At the Ocean House there were appiiea-
lions for over 400 bathing suits,
and al the Seaside Pavilion
the applications were equally as
large and beyond the capacity Of the bath
houses. 1t was good day 70 90 some
where. and a good many went, but those
who went 70 Tybee were cooked through
BY the time they got there, and were anX-
i0us 70 cool of in the surf. The return
ing boat at s O'Clock was loaded down,
and did not reach the city until 10 O'Clock,
when she landed her weary, persplrlng
crowd.
The CITY and Suburban trains to Mont
gOmery and Isle Of Hope were equally as
crowded as the boats 10 the beach. Inc
heat drove the people from the city. They
chose their place, but there was not much
choice. At both OF those popular resorts
the heat was like furnace. Whatever
breeze there was came from the west, and
afforded no relief. The people scattered
about in the paviliOns and I'M
der the trees, and famed
to get what breath OF air
they could. The Bellevue Hotel at Mont
gomery was filed, and the piaZZas were
! lined with people trying to get Whit OF
salt air and whatever breeze they could.
Ii was the first real opening day OF the
/ season, and those who ayailed themselves
Of its opportunity took the heat and
| crowds good naturally, and made the
most Of what they went for.
