LITERARY NOTES.

Macmillan 4 Co. announce for publica-,
ton during the autumn u series OF copy
right novels by English II American
authors TO be issued at the uniform price Of
81 per volume. Among the volumes al
ready arranged for in the series
may be mentioned Il. Marion Craw-
ford's THE Witch of Prague, "Tim,'
a new story by a new writer,
Mr.. ~Shorthouse's new novel blanche Lady
Falaise,'' a new collection Of Mr.. KiplinR's
stories under the title of Lilies Handi-
cap and a new novel by the now famous
author of "Mademoiselle Ike" the title of
which is ''The Exoroism of Cecilia de
Noel.'' David" a new novel by Mrs.
Humphrey Ward, the author Of Robert
Elsmere." will also be published in the scr
les, in November.
10 judge from this. and announcements
which have reached us from other publish
ers, there seems to be comparatively little
danger that the recent legislation granting
copyright to English authors will have a
tendency to make prices higher for books
issued under the act. The authors an
nounced as contributing to Macmillan d
Co.'s new dollar series have heretofore pub
lished their new books in this country at
higher prices thar that for this
series.

A Parlor Match.

The st. Paul daily Globe has credit for
following: If Sunset Cox wanted an n
swer to his famous question, why do peo-
pie laugh?" he ought to have attended the
Newmarket last night. where me and Old
Hoss'' kept the audience that packed the
building in q roar of laughter for three solid
hours. IA Parlor Match'' is one of those
plays that never loses its freshness. In the
hands of such clever people as compose the
Evans and Hoey combination it will ever
hold its prestige as the funniest comedy on
the stage. Each year it comes around with
some new embellishments; and this season,
while retaining the original plot, is dressed
up in such a new and v%ariegated garb it
would hardly be recognized but for the IA
miliar faces in the cast and the unique
drolleries of the principals. EVANS legs
still have the old swivel motion. Hoey's in
lmitable characterization of the tramp is a
stage creation that can never grow stale,
while bright little Minnie French is so thor
oughly identified with the part of the limo
cent Kidd one can never think of her in CON-
nection with any other role. Nearly all of
the music is new, and so are the spscialties.
Hoey's new topical song is a corker, and the
uniqueness of his new Ben Harrison hat
fairly lifted the audience from their seats.
1t was by all odds the largest the
Newmarket theater has yet held, which de-
monstrates the popularity of Evans and
Hoey as comedians. The same bill tonight
and remainder Of the week.

No n act Of President Harrison has
done so much to weaken his support for
denomination as the appointment of
j. Sloat Fassett to the collectorship of
New York. 1t is regarded as most true
ulent submission for personal ends by
the more respectable republicans who
would favor Harrison's denomination
Mr.. Fassett's personal record is not bad,
but his position as the leading rural
henchman to Boss Platt in New York
state places him in bad political repute.
The appointment is, therefore, an APP
peal for Platt's support and this is just
what the better element of republican,
ism in New York state will rebuke at
the November election.

A REFORM SCHOOLS NEEDED.

The other day THE INDEPENDENT re-
ferred to the necessity of a reform school
in this state. We hope the subject will
be considered before the next meeting
of the legislature and that a law estab-
fishing such an institution will be
passed. A. justice in this city was com
PEELED to send a fourteen-year old boy
to the county Jail for theft. The crime
demanded punishment and there was
nothing to do but sentence the young
ster to brief Imprisonment. At an g
when his mind receives it's most lasting
impressions he is sent to loaf about the
iron corridors of our county Jail for a
period of thirty days. Having 40 en-
ployment he finds nothing to do but eat,
sleep and kill time by conversing with
matured criminals and vicious charac-
ters with whom he is forced to asso-
ciate. These surroundings alone are
sufficient to make a professional crimi-
nal if a boy has the least degree of in
clination to such a life. He may learn a
good deal of vice in the course of a thirty
days sentence and at the end Of that
time he is quite certain to resume his
old habits. 1t is absurd to think that a
sentence like this does more than satisfy
the demands of law. The prime object
of imprisonment is the reformation of
the prisoner. Punishment should be SO
arranged that society will not only be
protected, but that the enemies of soci-
ETY. will in turn become it's protectors.
Can you appreciate the condition of a
fourteen-year-old boy confined in the
Lewis and Clarke county Jail for thirty
days? Is it likely that his morals will
be improved or his habits changed dur
ing this enforced idleness? On the
other hand, is it not probable that his
release will find him more hardened,
more depraved and quite ready to find
the next round in the criminals ladder?
Assuming an affirmative, we ask the
state of Montana to provide a reform
institution for hayward boys who have
not reached the stage of actual crime.
For thefts and petty crimes they should
be placed il confinement, but in a
place whore they may learn the meth
DDS of honest work and the results
thereof. In other words, a reform school
with all the meaning the term implies.
The law should do it's part in saving
these boys. At least it should not do
them harm. The criminal as we'll as
other classes maintains it's position by
securing recruits. The boy criminals
should be kept away from the ranks by
a law that will teach them to make an
honest living. Such a law providing for
a reform institution should be passed at
the next legislative session.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Tho Limited Mail and A ParlOr Match
This Week.
The Chicago Journal says the following
of the entertainment which opens at Mings
Monday evening:
The Limited Mail at the Peoples crowded
the theater to suffocation at both per-
formances. and the audience fairly went
wild. hats we're thrown in the air when the
limited mail passed by, and the cries of
good" good" were heard when the tele-
graph wires flashed the flaming letters their
warning of impending danger to the train.
The scenic and mechanical effects are strik-
ing, and on an elaborate scale. 1t is doubt
full if two more effective and skilfully han
died mechanisms than the flight of the
limited mail and the telegraph scene have
ever been witnessed here. They are both
ingenious and original.

The 0 dition of business affairs in
Texas has taught the people of that
state to appreciate the value of outside
assistance. The legislature a year ago
passed certain laws apparently intended
to curtail the investment of foreign cap
ital in the state. So effective were these
statutes that outside capital has re-
manned outside, and now the state is
suffering for money. Banks have gone
to pieces in every prominent town in the
state, and the governor has been forced
to call an extra session of the legislature
to repeal the obnoxious statutes. When
outside money comes to a new and
promising country for investment it is
