Robert Browning,

Robert Browning, the poet. died at Venice at
10 O'Clock Thursday night without any suffering.
During the day he expressed himself as salts
fed with the success of his new volume Of
poems. He was born at Camberwell, Surrey
IN 1872. was educated at London university
and published his 'Paracellus" in 1886 From
that time until the present he has been almost
continuously writing. The best known of his
longer poems are The Ring and the Book /"
'sordello," "Pippa Passes, "Balaustion's Ad-
venture, and The Two Poets of Croisic." His
shorter poems and lyrics are collected in men
and Women" and Dramatic Lyrics" As a
dramatlst Mr.. Browning never achieved stage
success. STAFFORD u failure in 1887
though played by Macready. The Blot on
the 'seuteheOn,' brought out at Drury Lane in
1913 and lately revived in America by Law
renee Barrett. met with no better fate. These
plays, however, with ''Colombe's Birthday"
The Return of the Druses," and King Victor
and KING Charles are widely read and ad-
mIred by the closest student
On account OF the frequent difficulty of his
style, the harshness Of hls prosody and the OBJ
security of his philosophy Browning has never
reached OF touched the middle class reader.
That he was, however, one of tine great poets
and geniuses Of English literature is settled as
definitely as contemporary criticism can settle a
literary reputation Like Carlyle, he found
many Of his earliest and most discriminating
admirers in America. Some Of his shorter
poems are Of unsurpassed beauty. Two at
least of his longer are nearly unlntelligible,
except by profound study. Il Is probable that
..Pippa Passes" "A souls Tragedy" Saul
and the poems collected in zen and Women
and Dramatic Lyrics" will outliye most Of
his other productions.
The dean Of Westminster has teiegraphed to
the family Of Robert browning Offering place
in Westminster Abbey for the burial of the
poet, but it is probable that the offer will be
declined, and that Mr.. Browning had himself
arranged for his burial in the same grave with
his vie, ct Florence.

but whether the sadness apparent i'll his malr-
ner was due to passing thought. or to his
habltual WEAKNESS, il was not easy to decide.
A senator of the empire, in talking to the
writer about Dom Pedro, once said: The chief
trouble the emperor has to contend with is that
he Is too good for US Brazilians." 1t would not
become foreigner to assent to this PROPOSE
tlon; but 1t cannot be disputed that his people
failed wholly to appreciate his best side, and
dwelt chiefly on his weaknesses and those of
his political acts with which they did not agree.
To outsiders who were brought in
contact with both the emperor and
his subjects, however, it seemed pos
slbie to combine sincere respect for the former
with hearty liking for the latter; and many
friend Of the new republic while welcoming the
gold and green flag among the ensigns of free

A Clever System to Prevent Trair

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Mr.. b. W. Cason, agent for the Pacific express
and United States express companies in an in
terview with a reporter, said: Il believe our
companies have at last hit upon a plan which
in the future will make impossible the robbing
of express matter. All the cars are being sup
piled with stationary safes with combination
locks, the combination of which the express
messenger In the car will be kept
in ignorance. Hereafter when money is
shipped a responsible representative of the
company here will go down TO the train. de-
posit the yaluables and money in the safe.
check 1t with the messenger and then secure
the safe. When the train reaches Memphis,
Chattanooga or any other point, another rep
resentatiye of the company, also acquainted
with the combination. will visit the car and
ascertain from the messenger if there are any
yeluables or money in the safe for that point
II answered in the affirmative he will open the
safe and take out the property. By this system
II an express car Is attacked by train robbers
they will be compelled to blow open the safe,
as no matter how much they might desire it
the messenger will be unable to assist them"

voice Of great power. which enabled him to

he invariably, when present, presided. He wae

D. LoTHRoP COMPANY have in press vol
ume of stories by II. II. Boyesen, called
" Vagabond Tales"
Mrs. EMMA HUNTINGTON NAsoN's volume
of poetry for young people, White Sails
has many charming poems especially
adapted to recitation.
THE January Wide A,rdke is "a holiday
number and is full of Christmas-tde stories
by Mrs l.. b. Waford, NJ. E. NJ Davis, au-
thor of In War Times at La Rose Blanche,
HeZekiah Butterworth, Mrs. Jessie Benton
Fremont and others. Fire-building, as
taught in the Boston Public Schools, is
described infinitely by Mrs. Sallie JOY
White, and The Legend of William Tell is
very fully considered and illustrated.
THE BANK TRAGEDY" is the title of
serial story of great power, written by Mrs.
Hatch, author of "The Upland Mystery,
which was published in the Transcript two
years ago and has since then had a sale
of about 100000 copies in book form. The
new serial is detective story, the plot of
which is constructed with remarkable skill.
1t will exercise the ingenuity of those who
are experts in guessing the plots of half
read novels. The scene is laid in northern
New Hampshire, but some of the tragic
and romantic incidents of a recent famous
bank case in Maine are worked into it,
The story is being published in the Portland
Transcript, beginning January ID. The

THE Life of Lincoln, in the February
Century, contains three chapters of especial
interest. They describe the final re-
moval of Mcclellan, the financial measures
whereby Chase furnished the sinews of war
to the government, and the personal rela-
tons between Seward Chase and Lincoln
This last chapter describes one of the most
interesting, well as amusing, episodes OF
Lincoln's career. Mr., Edward Atkinson
of Boston describes the latest American
methods of inexpensive Slow-burning Con-
struction as a branch of fire insurance, sug-
costing the construction OF buildings OF
brick, stone or iron, with wood interiors, or
even of wood alone, in such way as to
greatly decrease the fire losses Mr.. Akin

EARLY last week Thursday morning an
attempt was made by two burglars to enter
the railway station at Cliftonville, Mass.
A Waterman attacked the burglars, who
turned upon him, and a terrific struggle
occurred. They finally broke away and
fired two shots at the Waterman one taking
effect in his neck. The Waterman tried to
follow the men, but only reached the village
square, where he fell exhausted. 1t is
thought that he will die.
