Mrs. Lilies delightful little volume, The
Story Of Music and Musicians for Young
Readers, New York: Harper & Brothers
Portland: Loring, Short & HARMONY fuffls
most perfectly the intention of the author in
interesting young students in music in the
technique of their art, and in showing them
how, and under what circumstances the
great masters have worked. Beginning with
sketches of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven,
their instruments and their works, it comes
down to the more modern artists, Chopin,
Schubert and Schumann, comparing the mu-
steal standards of the past with those of the
present. 1t is dainty volume, fully illus
trated and charmingly written.

Shaftesbury, the First Earl. BY II. D.
Trail. New York: D. Appleton & CO.;
Portland: Hoyt, Fogg & Donham.) Lord
Shaftesbury must ever remain deeply in
teresting, and, in sense, important figure
in English history. He not only resumes in
himself the more salient characteristics of
his age of politics, but prefgures some of the
most striking traits of ours. In his own per-
son he typifes all the passion and profigacy.
reckless turbulence and Unsuitable ambition
of the troubled times in which he lived. He
also foreshadowed the modern demagogue,
the modern party leader, and the modern
Parliamentary debater-the three most nota-
BILE actors on the stage of later English poll
tics.

above the ordinary. 1t combines charming
story, with spirited account of the siege Of

much for the book. The style is excellent,
and the whole is pervaded by a pure and
wholesome religious tone.

OF freight shipments, has now laid siege
against its American rivals for passenger

NEW YoRK, 81 ..y s0,--The stock market
today was extremely active, the sales being
the largest for any one day for many
months. The trading was accompanied by
great deal OF excitement at times, and
prices were throughout the day quite fever

entirely due to the developments In Read

assumed secondary place In the dealings,
Lackawanna coming TO the front on heavy

rumors OF an increase In the dividend In
consequence OF the present heavy earnings

again revived. The Vanderbilts were all
notably strong, and Lake Shore was partlcu
larly active, there being considerable for
eign trading In the stock. The grangers
were remarkably quiet, although there was
squirt in Omaha just after noon. The
purchasing to-day was to n large extent,

were heavy realizing sales during the day

U. s. SUPREME COURT.
The Next Term Will Open with 1909
Cnses ON tho Docket.

The Next Term Will Open with 1909
Cnses on tho Docket.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
will convene for the October term OF 1867
on Monday, the 10th prox. The,number OF
cases on the docket increases steadily from
year to year. On the Goth Of September,
1885, the cases docketed numbered 961. At
the close Of business In the clerks Office
last night there were on the docket 1909
cases, an increase Of thirty weight. Among
the most important Of the cases assigned
for argument In the early part Of the term
are the Pacific National Bank cases from
Boston, which involve questions pending
in three or four hundred suits 10 the courts
below; and the case OF the Kansas City,
Lawrence, and Southern Railroad Company
against Benjamin II. Brewster, Attorney
General. The latter is a suit brought to
test the validity Of the title OF the railroad
company TO certain lands in Kansas. and to
cancel the patents issued for the same.
The controversy is between large
number OF settlers-about 700--and
the railroad company. The settlers
claim the lands In question under the home
stead laws. The dispute has existed for
years, and has been the cause OF much dis
order and disturbance 10 the public peace
IN the places where the lands are situated.
The legislature Of the state OF Kansas has
at three different sessions memoriallzed the
federal authorities TO cause some proceed
ing to be instituted by which the title Of
the railroad company to the lands in con-
troversy could be speedily determined. In
view Of these facts the Supreme Court has
decided to advance the case on the docket
and hear argument upon II at once.
None Of the Justices OF the court with the
exception Of Justice Harlan are yet Ia the
city. Chief Justice Waite spent his sum
mer vacation In trip to the Yellowstone
National Park and to Alaska, aud is now
on his way much improved In health and
strength Justice Field and Justice Mat
thews have spent most Of the summer in
Europe. All the justices are expected
home early In October, aud the court will
assemble with full bench.

NEW SILVER CERTIFICATES.
A Pro Rata DistributieR Made TO Each
Section OF the Country.


Section OF the Country.
Arrangements are being made at the
Treasury Department for the early distrlbu-
ton OF the new silver certificates, which are
now being printed at the bureau OF engrav-
ing and printing as rapidly as possible. The
FIRST batch Of 81 certificates was received at
the Treasury Department yesterday. Il
consisted OF 5000 sheets and amounted to
$4,000. They now need only the zeal OF
the Treasury Department TO be finished
notes. The bureau will continue to print
these notes at the rate Of $4,000 a day
during the present week. Additional fact
Titles Will be supplied next week by which
the Issue Will be increased to $4,000 day.
Orders Tor these notes In large amounts,
running up to several hundred thousand
dollars, have been recelvedfrom all parts Of
the country. IL is the purpose OF the de-
partment, however, to hold the notes until
the supply will allow Of pro rata dlstrlbu-
tion OF respectable amount to each
section of the country, and they will
be shipped from Washington 30 as
to secure their simultaneous de-
livery at the different subtreasuries, II is
expected that the ones Will be put into
general circulation in about two weeks.
The SO certificates are somewhat delayed,
and will not be ready for issue for about
three weeks yet. They are In great de-
mand, and their completion will be
hastened as much as possible. The print
ing OF the So certificates will not he pushed
particularlarly, as there does not seem to
be the same demand for them. This Is due
TO the plentiful supply of United States
and national bank notes of the same denom-
nation. The design for the s. silver Ger
ti6cate was approved by Acting Secretary
Fairchild to-day. Portraits Of Gen. Grant
and Mr.. Tilden were suggested as proper
vignette for this note, and designs with
these two vignettes were submitted. The
selection was under consideration by diff
ferent officials for several DAYS, aud was
finally decided by Secretary Fairchild in
favor Of the Grant vignette.
