Gillette and the Toronto Publish ers
From the Evening World.


Some time ago William Gillette pub
lished his book, "a Legal Wreck" in
this city Believing that it would sell
well IN England, Were Mr.. Gillette is
known fur such wurks as ''E5mera !"
and Held by the Enemy" he obtained
copyright III that country by quietly
Publishing the book there before it
appeared in New York CT V. a Legal
Wreck sold well here. About three
weeks ago Gillette received word from
firm of publishers IN Toronto that
they had decided to publish his book,
and would allow him one cent per
copy, providing he Ould furnish the
plates. Mr.. Gillette wrote calmly back
that he had an extra set OF
plates which he would be
glad to forward provided that the
firm would allow him 10 cents per cory.
An indignant answer was received in
due course. The firm thought such
terms absurd, and declared that thew
had decided to print the book anyway
on September 8, and were making their
own plates tr m the American copy Of
the book secured at Buffalo. Gillette paid
no further attention IL the matter, but
two days before the time of pubhca ion
he wrote them, IN his artles- Wav, that
he had forgotten to say to them that "a
Legal Wreck" was protected in En-
gland, where 1t had already been pub
lished. This announcement must have
HOoTed the Toronto firm. Mr. Gillette
declared he had always bad desire 10
publish book In Canada, and felt ex-
tremely sorry that the Toronto people
had gone to the trouble Of making new
plates.

Success in Winning Ii titles.
From the London Spectator
This Is Ecrd Wolseley's statement OF
Napoleon's secret of winning battles
the simple secret of big battalions, OF
outnumbering your enemy:
III there be any one rule which NAV
be said TO sum up the science o. strate-
gy and tactical art, ii is that YOU should
make your plans, and carry them out so
as TO DE always superior to your enemy

cret OF NapoIeon's success. When be

dlgested his plan for meeting and de-
stroylng his enemy in detail. This he
carried out by series of most brilliant
movements, surprising the widely sep
arated armies OF his enemies by sudden
blows delivered with all his concentrat-
ed strength. 1t was the same way the
following year when he DESTROYED
Nurmser's army. Who but great
military genius would have conceived
and executed the idea of abandoning no
less than 40 guns in his besiegine bat
terles before Mantua, and of raising the
siege for the time being, leaving his
stores; ETC., to the mercy of the enemy,
in order that he might be able to at
