w. T. Page. Many handsome private
carriages were out from the city, and from
the Pawtuxet Valley and western Rhode
Island there were hundreds present.
James Fiske acted as auctioneer. The
sales began at 0 a. m. The china and delft
was first sold. There were a number OF
odd pieces, mostly cups and saucers,
which brought high figures. A large,
and exquisite piece OF Lowstoff ware,
"a punch bowl, was bought for $3.50 by
Miss Clara Fields. of Pawtucket. A fine
liquor set of Hoch glass, by X. II. Breiten-
stein, for S2.65. Two plates, of old blue
ware, representing Lanark Castle, with
two Enoch Wood plates. were taken by
Mr.. Dobson. This gentleman also bought
fiax-spinning wheel, unbroken, over l50
years old, for $l.50, to which he added
some ancient fire dogs, old colonial docu-
ments, etc A beautiful example Of the
gilt mirrors OF century and half ago,
with white enamel panel, was sold to
the same man for S3.
An old chest of drawers, brass trimmed,
OF curly maple, was taken by Breitenstein
mt $40. The same gentleman bought the
most admired piece of ancient furniture
on sale, swell front, mahogany bureau,
with fine brass trimmings, for $l5. 20.
There was lively competition for this
piece. Theodore Lawton of Cranston took

A spindle-legged, beaded table, solid

for 81, a very low figure. A lovely candle
stand, mahogany, was taken for s.. %, by
Frank Silod. Albert w. knight, of
River Point, bid in solid wood table,
dated 1918, for 65 cents. Miss +. II. Ian

clock, with brass trimmings, made in
1896, and in perfect order, at S3. A set of
Rhode Island colonial records, twelve
volumes, were bought for Sl2.5O, by Fred

A matter of interest was the fact, that a
most valuable colonial hall clock, in
mahogany frame, with the moons phases
on the dial, was for sale. IL had on the
inside, the printed bill Of sale, showing il
was purchased by the Fiske family in 1913.
Interest became very marked when it was
offered. 1t was bid off to James Fiske for
$50.
There were some rather pathetic epi-
sodes in the days doings. The old wooden,
bassinet cradle, which had lulled the
F1ske's to slumbers for four generations
was sold to stranger; also silver comb
of the piquant style of 100 years ago. But,
certainly, the oldest, drollest article seen
was an umbrella made eighty years since.

ANOTHER AFRICAN BOOK.

NEW LIGHT ON DARK AFRICA.
BEING TIE NARRATIVE or THE
GERMAN EMIN PASHA EXPEDI-
TlON, by DR. CARL PETERS. Trans
lated by III. w. Quicken, Ph. ID. New
York, london and Melbourne: Ward,
Lock x Co
Perhaps English printed papers are
too much in the habit of treating Stan
ley's Einin Pasha relief expedition as If
it We're the only one. and of ignoring the
German expedition headed by DR.. Peters.
Unfortunately the new book comes too
late to attract so much attention as II
might have done some time ago. Stan
ley has had his say, and the tremendous
effect of great name has given that
narrative an authority which not the re-
velations of Troup and Ward and the
threats of the relatives Of jameson and
Barttelot were able to shake.
But this work is no new contribution
10 the rear guard squabble Stanley
appears in it only incidentally. The
main purport of the story is To tell how,
beginning with the formation of the
German Emin Pasha Relief Committee.
a determined attempt was made from the
east to rescue Emin even while Stanley
was crossing the continent from the
west. Ii was race III which the En-
glishman took the longer course more
promptly and won. DIR. Peters is not an
admirer of Mr.. Stanley. He
prints Stanley's curt letter from
Church Mission station on Sept. A, 1889,
announcing the evacuation of the equa-
torial province, with this comment:
such was the cold, dry purport of the
letter. Not a greeting TO his country
men, not aword of counsel or suggestion
to jackson and his colleagues!
4 will march on TO Wadelai in spite OF
it, was my first resolve. Perhaps
Emin Pasha will come some day or ether
to deliver u.s. was the mocking echo of
my thought. But this impulse of de-
fiance was soon succeeded by more rea-
sonable considerations Naturally!
In fact, DR.. Peters seems to have had
difficulty with the British throughout
his experience. 1t began when the
British representatives refused to allow
him TO land at Lamu, and when his
arms were confiscated because of his
trespassing on debatable soil, and it con-
tinued through pretty much the whole
experience. But that was before the
Heligoland cession.
DIR. Peters work seems to have been
intelligently translated. It's printing
and illustration are sumptuous.

HELMUTH Won MOLTKE. Translated by
Clara Bell and Henry w. Fischer, with
map. New York Harper 81 Brothers
The maker of history is not always the
best writer of history. but 1t is impossible
to read Count Won Moltke's account OF
the Franco-GeIlnan war without feeling
convinced that il will remain the one
trustworthy record of that extraordinary
struggle. Written with the full knowl-
edge of detail shown by one who was not
only participant in but director Of events.
yet as calmly and dispassionately as if
compiled from official reports by dis
interested spectator, the story OF those
seven months marches on with the steady
tramp of "A German army corps. Some
thing of that comprehensive grasp which
made him the great Field Marshal is
shown in the management of literary
material The history is given in detail,
day by day. but the reader is not allowed
to be numbered by the recital
A single paragraph here and there
will put the whole situation before him

the field just as it appeared to the man
who, with the hand Of fate, was moving
kings and castles and pawns about the
chessboard of nations. With Bismarck
10 make united Germany and Won
Moltke to lead her against the foe, it
was no wonder that France was obliged
to succumb. But not hint Of his own
part is allowed TO appear in the record.
The great, silent man, who could hold
his tongue in seven languages" could
be 2eticent about himself even when
writing of his own deeds, and the fact
that he himself was prime mover in
affairs is only touched upon incidentally
in the appendix. Probably history can
show few such examples of self-efface-
ment.
Won Moltkes son, Major Won Moltke,
says that his father had great dislike
to memoirs, and was persuaded with
difficulty to enter upon the undertaking.
He began this history in the spring of
1887, working at it for three hours every
morning, and placed it in his sons
hands completed in January, 1888.
With characteristic modesty and dislike
of parade he never alluded to the matter
again, but left its publication entirely
to Major Won Moltke's discretion.
The work of the translators leaves
nothing TO be desired, and the book is
accompanied by an excellent map.

women of broadest minds and keenest
insight who have studied the same ques-
tions-and it is women after all who
must eventually deal with the matters

UNDOUBTED AUTHORITY.
AMERICAN FOOTBALL. BY WALTER
CAMP. New York Harper & Brothers.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL. BY WALTER
CAMP. New York: Harper & Brothers.
Mr.. Walter Camp is an undoubted
authority upon the gentle autumnal
game of football, and writes entertain
ingly about it with an intelligent re-
view of the differences in the English
and American game-which Mr.. Camp
assures us lie in 'the outlet to the scrim-
mage" People who have witnessed
football games have sometimes thought
there wasn't any outlet to the scrim-
mage. Superior American inventive
genius is manifested in the fact that
when the opposing sides line up, the
ball is passed slightly back to the quar-
ter back, who then becomes the hero OF
the hour. The book is illustrated with
portraits of popular football favorites.
