"THE QUICK OR THE DEAD:"
A Statement by the Author, Amelie Rive

New York Herald.
In 4 preface to q new edition Of "Ths Quick or
the Deadfs which is soon 20 appear, Miss Rives
explains her motives in producing the novel,
and administers a clever and %caustic, yet none
the less good ratured. rebuke TO her critics. She
insists that the latter have done her a great
though unconscious honor In assuming that she
intended Barbara as a portrait Of herself, for in
doing 90 they have attributed to her an absolute
honesty and absence of vanity such rs few
mortals have ever been credited with. Barbara
is beautiful in face and form, to DO sure. but all
her diosyncrasies are such as no woman would
care to accuse herself of. She never was
meant for q noble character. al tried to
describe AS tGuthfully as / could q type Of
woman of whose existence l feel convinced
"A creature morbid, historical, sensitive. intro
s%pective: en- ecotisr to her finger ends, although
an unconscious one; a sophist. and q self-de-
ceiver," Barbara feels, wrongly enough, that
she is being disloyal to her dead husband ia low
ing a living man. But ii was her husbands eyes
his soul-that she loved. Otherwise she would
have married Dering without question. since
physically he WAS almost the exact reproduc-
ton Of her husband.
Miss Rives Acknowledges that there are faults
of cruieness and bad taste here and there in
'.The Quick or the Desdf' the result OF too rapid
writing and publication. But she insists it was
well meant and written from o clean heart. And
she & ,rrisses rer critics with this very clever
comparison.

into a poisonous relativeness.r
The preface concludes with these words:
How blessed a thing il would be if people

efectually than any other tool for improving

II can be stated on the authority of General
Alger himself that that gentleman will not oc-

BABY ONE SOLID RASH,

Ugly. painful, blotched, malicious. No rest by day,
no peace by night, Doctors and all remedies
failed. Tried Cu;icura Remedies. Effect mar
yeIous. Complete cure in five weeks.
Our Oldest child. now six years of age, when an in
FAINT six months old was attacked with a virulent. ma
hgnant skin disease. All ordinary remedies failing,
we called our family physician. who attempted to cure
1t; but IL spread with almos. Incredible rapidity, until
the lower portion of the little fellows person, from
the middle Of his back down TO his knees, was one
solid rash, ugly. painful. blotched and malicious; We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally we
were advised to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES. The
effect was simply marvellous. In three or four weeks
a complete euro was wrought. leaving the little fel-.
lows person as white and healthy as though ne had
never been attacked. In my opinion your valuable
remedies saved his life, and to-day he is a strong,
healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition Of the dis
ease having ever occurred.

A Connecticut Mans Portrait
Printed as That of Meiss0nier.
Amusing are the blunders in the illus
trated dailies. A European correspond
ent recently sent to the New York World
q sketch Of Meissonier and portrait
from which a cut was made. A Bridge
port correspondent sent about the same
time a portrait and sketch of one Mr..
Thompson, whose chief claim to celebrity
was that he had reached his ninety first
year. He was to have had a reception,
and the portrait and sketch were to have
been printed in the World the following
day.
1.-The blizzard, however, upset the
arrangements, and MIR. Thompson's
friends were much astonished last Sun
day to find his portrait right in the mid
die of the Meissonier article, with the
name of the great painter under it.
Now, in all fairness, we think the World
ought to print the sketch of Mr.. Thomp-
son next Sunday and insert Meissonier's
portrait in it. That would ''sort of even
things up" as it were, and the average
reader would not know the difference.
