TRIALS OF AUTHORSHIP.
The Unknown Writer FInds It Yer
DIRcult to Make Money.

The Unknown Writer FIads Is Very
DIRcult to Make Money.
No one who drops into a certain authors
clubs in big city which shall be nameless,
can fail to observe that the majority of the
members wear anything but jovial express
sion. To person not accustomed to such
company their depressed and silent air might
easily be mistaken for intense preoccupation
of thought. It is under this spell, the
stranger might think, that plots are com-
posed, characters drawn and books made for
the wonder and instruction of countless
readers. Bu. the sophisticated visitor to this
famous club is not so misled, says a writer
in Kate Fields Washington. The fact is
that this Authors club, like professional au-
thors' gatherings everywhere, is composed of
men who have not come cut ahead in the
race for the dollar. Some three or four of
them have made fortune, as well as reputa-
tion, by their pens. But the others, while
highly intelligent in thought and clever in
conversation, have not been able to hit the
popular fancy, and yet feel themselves inca.
pable of doing anything but literary work.
It is rare, indeed, when one who begins life
with the pen can relinquish 1t, even to adopt
what is obviously a more lucrative method of
gaining living.
The authors of books which do not ego
of, /" as the expression is, are forced to de-
pend largely on magazine and journalistic
work for their support. Such q dependence
is precaIious. The magazines are all over
stocked with contributors. Only work of
remarkable power or originality is accepted,
and even then the author is often compelled
to wait for payment until his writings are
published. The field of journalism offers
more satisfactory returns. What with book
reviews and essays on special articles, the
| once ambitious author is content to write
anonymously on subjects he abhors and for q
paper he despises, in order to earn the re-
| ward that was denied to his loftier flights in
literature. Hence we have many mute, in.
glorious Dickens and Thackeray. who, be
| ginning life in fanoies Of a higher Parnassus,
are pursuing it by hack articles on the pre-
valence of malaria or the prospect of aerial
navigation. Literature" says DIR. Holmes,

NO GOOD Will.

NO GOOD WILL.
It seems that the Englishmen who have
been buying brswsriss in this country did
not in all cases buy, or, at least, secure the
good will of the business. It is asserted that
in the brewing and mailing busi-
ness almost without exception those
that have not gone into the syndicate
have greatly increased their business, while
many of those who have gone in have lost a
great deal of trade. Irish saloonksepers will
not buy of English syndicate brewers. OF
course 1t doesn't make so much difference
with the German saloonkserers, but 1t even
Affects them somewhat. There is the same
effect in the mating business, but 1t
results from circumstances little
different. Nearly all the largest New
York breweries were bought up by a
syndicate. These did their own mating.
The other brewers purchased their malt
largely in the West. Whom it was announced
that the Chicago breweries and mailing
establishments had bsen bought up by an
English syndicate these independent New
York brewers, under the impression that it
was the same syndicate that had bought the
New York breweries, decided that they
would buy no more malt from these syndi-
cate maltsters. They reasoned that to buy
malt of their competitor in the brewing
business would sinply be to furnish that
competitor with money to fight them with.
Hence all the business has gone to the inde-
pendent naltsters.
This is curious turn. No wonder the
syndicate wants to be considered thoroughly
American. If this kind of thing continues
there will be some breweries for sale cheap
before Ion0

IT am one of the women who willingly
confess that our sex is vain. And you may
be sure that we do not like to have our vant-

"But," continued the frank woman, "what
I began to say, and what intend to say, is
that we know we are vain, and are, there-

AN INTERESTING CASE.

It is pretty generally known that the prog
ress of United States mail wagon must not
be obstructed or hindered. The law says
that any person who shall knowingly and
wilfully obstruct or retard the passage of the
mail, or any carriage, horse, driver or carrier
carrying the same, shall for every such off
fence be punishable by a fine of not more
than 500; and that any ferryman who shall
delay the passage of the mail by wilful neg
leet or refusal to transport the same across
any ferry, shall for every ten minutes such
mail may be so delayed be liable to penalty
of $40. An interesting suit has been brought
under this law before United States COM
missioner at Jersey City. A driver of a
mall wagon charges two police officers sta
toned at Communipaw ferry with having
obstrueted and detained the passage of the
mail, because they prevented the mail wagon
from going pell-mell into crowd of passsn-
gers in the ferry gangway on the way to the
boat. It seems that the number of passengers
on this occasion was so large that the or
GERS OF the New Jersey Central railroad in
charge at the ferry had given directions
sAss NJ bouu1e buOQlu Uc thk6u Oh VIC EaEtiC'
ular boat then about to leave mmunipaw,
and consequently foot passengers crowded
tato the gangway. just as the boat was
about to leave, however, the mail wagon was
driven up and into the crowd. According
to An account Of the occurrence, q womap
who stood in the gangway WAS run down and
trampled upon so that she tainted. The Off.
GERS ordered the driver to halt, but he re-
fused to do 80, and the wagon was moi
stopped until one of them got the horses by
the head, while the other climbed up to the
box.
OF course the passage of the mails should
aot be obstructed when such obstruction car
possibly be avoided. In this case a ittl'
less haste to apply the strict letter of the
law might have been wise. Everybody in
this country has a right to live. to be fire.,
and to pursue happiness. They can't de
this while being run over by recklessly
driven mail wagon.

The latter restriction, Of course, will apply
only to New York city. Population will be

The Illuminating power Of gas Is also pre-

Louisiana has floating debt Of nearly $3,.
0oO, 900, made up of bonds, interest coupons
unpaid. state warrants and certificates Of in
debtedness. So low is the credit Of the state
that these evidences of indebtedness have
been selling at an average Of about fifty cents
on the dollar. It il new proposed by the
New Orleans stock exchange that the state
fund this indebtedness at half its face value
in longtime bonds. It appears that most Of
this debt is held in the state, and large
portion of the certificates, bonds, etc., uetted
the state but little, If any, more than the
value at which it is proposed to fund them.
It is hoped to place these nsw bonds, which
will be per cents, at par or over and in that
way to restore the finances of the state to
reasonably healthy condition.
Another electrical device has been brought
out to afford Communication between trains
in motion and to prevent accidents. Bat
teries and the necessary connections are
placed on each engine, central conductor
being laid parallel with the rails. Should
two trains approach within certain distance
of each other an alarm is sounded in each
cab with an electric gong and steam whistle
Is set blowing. The engine drivers can stop
the trains and communicate by telephone.
This communication can be effected when
the engines are either running or still. An
autmatic signal is also given if a switch is
misplaced or bridge burned Or washed
away. Additional batteries are placed at the
stations along the road, and these work the
alarm should those placed on the engines
become broken.
The methods usually adopted for indicat-
ing the exact spot struck by the bullet in
target shooting are crude and often danger
ous. With view to overcome this danger
and to enable firing parties to ascertain for
themselves the actual spot hit by their bull
lets, an ingenious system Of electric and
self-indicating targets has been devised. The
| system is divided into the electric target and
the indicating apparatus. The target, which
represents the bull, inner, msgpie and outer,
Is formed of concentric iron rings, with the
exception Of the outer, which is square. At
the back of each ring or square is a strong
horizontal spring, which is almost in contact
with a vertical lever. On bullet striking
any one of the four sections, that particular
section and its corresponding spring are
forced back until the spring hits its respec-
tive lever, causing the latter to fall into a
horizontal position. As the lever falls it
establishes, by means of contact and bat
terry, electrical communication with the in
dicating apparatus erected at the firing end
of the range, thus showing which section Of
the tarGet has been struck
