A CURIOUS BOOK.

A book has recently been published,
or rather printed in special and
private edition, reproducing Coleridge's
annotations on the books which he read.
Students of English literature need not
be told that by his contemporaries Cole.
ridges was regarded as the greatest
mind Of his time. His original genius
was wonderful. and his scholarly ac-
quirements were immense. What he was
as poet is but an indication of what he
might have been. He was also great
philosopher, theologian and litterateur.
But he was especially and above all
things an omnivorous reader. 1t was
his habit when reading to note on the
margins or on the fly leaves of the book
his criticisms ard opinions on such pas
sages as were worthy of remark. These
notes, having been made on the pur of
the moment, and with no thought of
their ever reaching the public, were
after his death greatly priced by his
friends. They justly reg arded them as
giving better insight into the working
of the poet. philosophers mind than the
Biog1aphia Liteydrio which he pub
lished with view of revealing the
method of his mental development and
growth.
The books so annotated have been
collected and now occupy special
place in the library of the British Mu-
scum. Mr., William F. Taylor has
found access to these volumes and has
so reprinted them that the page or pas
sage which interested Coleridge is re-
produced side by side with the com
ment which Coleridge made upon it,
just as he wrote it, Besides this he has
reproduced in fac simile what Coleridge
wrote on the tly-leaves at the end of
different volumes. Only SOC copies of
this compilation have been produced
and the work will not be reprinted, and
fifty copies only will reach the United
States. Two copies have been brought
to Boston and both of these are IN prl-
vate hands. 1t is hoped that some of
the great public libraries may secure
copies and that the work may thus be-
come accessible TO scholars and the
public generally.
THE REPORT THAT editor Watterson

to be SANDER on the godfather and

that the Kentucky editor has double,

MARBLE FALLS, Tex, Oct. 3l,-There

ton in the ten years interven-
ing was I2,S24,757 and the percentage OF
increase was 24.57. In 1910 the population
was stated at 3S,55S,371. According to
these figures the absolute increase in the
decade between 1870 and 1880 was II, oil ,412
and the percentage of increase 30.0S. Upon
their face these figures show that the popu-
lation has increased between 1880 and 1880
only 727,345 more than between 1870 and
1880, while the rate of il crease has appar-
emily diminished from 30.tS TO 24.57 per
cent
If these figures were derived from correct
data they would be disappointing. Such
reduction in the rate of increase in the face
of the enormous immigration during
the past ten years would argue
a great diminution in the fecun
dity of the population or corresponding
increase in its death rate. These figures
are, however, easily explained when the
character of tie data used is under
stood 1t is a well known fact, having
been demonstrated by exhaustive and
investigation, that the census of
1870 was grossly deficient in the Southern
states. So much so as not only to give an
rate of increase ofpopulation
between 1870 and 1880, and not only in
these states but to affect very materially
the rate of increase in the country at large'

Ladies Raiding Houses of Prostitution.

Fort WORTH, Tex, Oct. 21.-The crusade
against "HelI's Half Acre" and the houses
of prostitution in Fort Worth is nearing a
crisis. The war has en- carried on inces-
sanity during the past Elk months by the
Young Mems Christian association and the
Bethel mission which have organized an
Industrial home for fallen women, where
they may go and earn living or learn how
to do 81 honestly. This morning four ladies
who stand high in life in ForI Worth, &C
companied by squad of police, visited
four of the leading hou' es of prostitution OF
the city and ordered the inmates to leave
the houses they at present occupy under
penalty of prosecution in the state courts
at the same time tenderingthem the protec-
ton of the woman's home. The fallen
women promised to leave and some of them
will enttr the home.

Voolfolk maintained his innocence

BOLD ROBBERY.
Lone Highwayman Does Considerable
Holding Up.

Holding Up.
TExARKANA, Tex, Oct. 31.-Two of the
most daring robberies ever heard of in this
section were committ' d on the highway
near this city yesterday evening. Three
farmers were returning from New Boston
with the proceeds of their cotton sales, and
when near Hooks Station were held up by
a lone footman, and at the muzzle of a
pistol forced to give up their money. They
were then caused to take out their best
horse, and the robber, Selling one OF
their overcoats threw it on the
horse and mounting rode securely
away. Soon after the robbery
Hon. w. T. Hudgins and Rollin Rodgers,
prominent attorneys Of this city, drove up
to the scene of action and gathered from
the affrighted victims the particulars of the
affair. They promised to hasten on to New
Boston aud send out parties in search of the
bold hIghwayman. They had driven only
q short distance when the same man APP
peared, pistol in hand at the side of their
buggy Being unarmed and taken una
ware they were forced TO get out and by
direction of the outlaw place their watches
and valuables on the ground. The
details of the robbery indicate
that the victims this time acted
IN the coolest manner and detained the I'M
known in conversation long enough to be
able to identify him hereafter. Hrdgins
demonstrated against having his watch
taken from him, saying that il was a keep
sake. The robber then proposed TO take
$50 in lieu OF the watch, but when Hudgins
proposed to write a check he was told the
check was not current in that kind OF
business. The robber was exceedingly
nervous and handled his pistol recklessly.

New York, Oct. 31.-The captain of the
steamer humboldt, from South Ameri-
can ports, who arrived here today reports
that at o'clock this morning six miles

crew, in all about sixty-one persons. The
four passengers of the Vizcaya were all lost

ulars of the collision or its cause. The Viz
caya belonged to the Spanish lire OF steam-
ers plying between New York and Havana.
The steamer was bound for Havana,
Santiago de Cuba, Colon and other Central
American ports with general cargo of
