game of baseball between the Blooming
dales under the captaincy of DIR. Atwood,
the physician in charge of the male pa
tients, and the Morningsides, led by Mr..
Bradley. the supervisor of the male at
tendants. The teams are composed mostly
of patients, with a few attendants TO keep
the balance. The Bloomingdales were
neatly uniformed in dark gray suits with
maroon hose, belts and cap trimmings.
Their opponents have not, as yet, pro-
cured their uniforms The game was PLAYED
with skill quite worthy of the Polo
grounds, and the spectators were a far
more decorous crowd than the cranks who

tainly did not betray the symptoms of
chronic melancholia that frequently at
tack the emotional admirers of the Giants
but then these teams played ball. En-
thusiasm rose TO a high pitch of excite
ment, however, when Billy" Seaman, the
shortstop of the Blooming lales, made a
brilliant double play by catching line fly
and throwing man ont at third. The aD-
pIause which greeted him must have been
a pleasant reminder of happier DAYS. The
game was on BY the Bloomingdaes. the
score being II 10 ).

"THE MASTER OF SILENCE"
High Praise From Colonel Cockerill for
Irving Bacheller's New Book.

Irving Bachelors New Book.
New YORK, June pa well-named
story is already on the road to success
The recent days of fiction have brought
forth host of preposterously bad titles
sensational, silly, or Intentionally mis-
leading-and few very good ones
Among the best of them all is that which
l find upon the cover of Mr. Irving Bach
e.ler's story, published by Webster & Co.
The Master of Silence" Master" and
'silence" are strong and positive words,
excellently adapted to the purpose. To-
gether they furnish a fascinating sugges-
ton and a promise which should attract
the readers of novels. Turning to the
story find the promise amply fulfilled.
A remarkable man, trained to the mas
terry Of silence, brought to a spiritual plane
above the need of spoken words, is the
central figure of the tale. From infancy to
early manhood this individual is absolutely
under the guidance of a strange, half-mad
hermit who lnhabitS a great country
house and permits no person but his deaf
and dumb servltOrs to enter 1t. Rayel,
the hero of the story, as the'old phrase
went, was kept from any sound of voices.
The hermit. who had been physician
and always deep student, by subtle de-
vices of his own, trained Rayel to deal di-
rectly with the mind; to apprehend and
understand another's thought unaided by
language or gesture; and to cast the image
of his own thought into another's mind
There is a touch of the old fascinating
mysticism in the writer's insistatnce tina
absolute,purity must be the basis OF this
occult power. In such purity Rayel was
reared, and when the reader meets him he
has developed gloritied physical being to
ma Itch his beauty of soul. Summoned
from across the sea, young kinsman of
Ravel finds him in the hermitage, which
is situated in the interior of New York
state. His entrance into this abode and his
meeting with the old philosopher and the
pupil give opportunity for some exec llent
descriptive work. There are some strong
incidents of rather ghoStlv character
but they are all well managed and do not
pass the bounds of credihiiity Upon the
death of the hermit. Rayel and his kins-
man go out into the world together. Their
adventures could hardly fail to be inter-
esting. Rayel, with a devotion TO truth 50
absolute as TO ignore the existence OF false
hood. naturally uses his tongue most in
judiciously after he has learned articulate
language.
1t would he unfair TO the author to trace
the incidents of the story, but it's course
leads US into New York society and shows
the result of reading minds wherein the
records are not clear of SIN. Then comes
love, which leads this master mind as it
leads weaker ones, in its own way and to
the fate prepared. Altogether the story is
a strange character study, full OF sugges-
ton. earnest in moral PURPOSES and
worthy of attention.
