Literary Landmarks of London. By
Laurence Hutton. Great cities, in course
of history and time, acquire something
like an astral body, which stands beside
their buildings of tangible brick and
stone-a misty, luminous, compelling
shape of the Past. Especially, perhaps,
this is true of London, whose history
not dominating the present as does the
demi-godlike immortal spirit of Rome
blends with its actually in familiar
and friendly manner, like a good old
house-ghost, wishing only well to its
heirs. In Picadilly and ST. James street,
hardly less real than the passers who
jostle ones elbow, must be for the book
lover the personages, more OF less re-
mote in time. who have filled London
with literary associations; Chaucer, sing
ing there like field lark; the Elizabeth
an dramatists blowing their great golden
trumpets of tragedy; Keats and Shelley,
chanting their poetic passion; Master
Pepys, with the petulant chirp of his
Diary, like pert, festive, busy English
sparrow; DR.. johnson, with the weight
of a whole dictionary for ballast to his
daily speech; poor Charles Lamb, with
just enough crack in his fine brain to
break it's light into quaint coloring;
Thackeray and Dickens and Carlyle and
Browning, who are of modern time, but
departed-all these in acompression of
chronology, blend to form the literary
past of their city and unite it closely
with the present of its letters. Certainly
for most of us, these images Of the max
ers of books and songs wander about,
and have not fixed habitations. There
fore Mr.. Laurence Hutton has laid us all
under obligations to him. with this care
full and copious' handbook of the literary
associations of London, which arranges in
very convenient form vast amount of
history and topography of the city. The
present edition is enriched with many
portraits of the eminent men and women
of English literature; the letter press
gives brief biographical notes, and indi-
lived and wrote, the inns and coffee
houses which they frequented, the
churchyards where they were buried.
The names are placed according to alpha
betical order and two indexes, one of
persons and one of places, are added for
the readers convenience. Mr.. Hutton
has spared no pains in historic and local
research; his work has both literary and
practical quality. (New York: Harper

Anthony Melgrave. By Thomas Nc
Caleb. This novel seems like literary
Rip Van Wrinkle of fiction, that after a
half-century's sleep on the top shelf of a
circulating library, should come out,
and claim notice. The style is impossibly
stilted; not without an old fashioned
mannerliness which curiously contrasts
with the modern surroundings of its per-
sonages. Listen to the respectable Mr..
Valleroy, who between the acts of a
Wagner opera confdes to his friend Mr..
Melgrave:
''Sir men do not always love their ideals of
womanly beauty any more than they always
follow their criterion of knghtly honor. How
ever, pray we may never speak of her again,
because on the subject of SO divine a nature l
am apt to wax sentimental, and a man of Senti-
ment is usually accounted hypocrte.
This extract, made completely at ram
dom. is sample of the whole. There
fore, not unwillingly, in the words of the
author "Now leave we you, o Anthony
Melgrave, in the peaceful shades of
Montalbonr' wherever that may be. The
print and binding of the volume are ex-
cellent and in good taste. (New York:

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even

lecture entertainments will be given.
Those of Friday, Saturday and yesterday
were entirely successful, and Managers
Love and Francoeur are to be congratu-
lated on having so instructive and enter
tanning show in hand. Tonight the
lecture and pictures will be on The
Legendary Rhine" Over 100 views will
be shown of points that are centers in the
history of Europe, and around which

terest of ages in the old world.
Atthe Opera house last night Miss Carol
Crouse's happy and witty sketch, Miss
Muffett's Mistake" was given tor the last
time. 1t developed as cunningly-de-
vised little comedy, and Miss Crouse's
part in it was well acted, as also were
those of Miss Aubrey, Mrs. Bishop and
Mr.. Wood. They would have done better
still, however, but for the fact that there
has been very hard study at the Opera
house and rehearSals or preparations OF
many pieces. To. night very considera-
BILE change takes place i'll the composition
of the stock company, Mr.. Glenfell re-
tires, and since he is not at all suited to
the tastes of this theater-going public.
MIR. Norton makes by the change. Miss
glover anu MISS AuDIcls very dCceItdDtS
and clever people, conclude their pres
ent engagement. Mr.. Hunting, who has
done good work also, finishes his engage
ment. Miss George Woodthorpe, we'll
known, popular and excellent actress;
Fred Cooper, a very successful and we'll
known comedian and actor in variety
of lines; little Georgie- Cooper, termed
'tThe Princess of Precocity," and Miss
Alice Carmen begin an extended engage
ment. All the other members of the
original company remain. The new adj
iustment makes strong and competent
troupe all around. Tonight and for four
nights the comedy-drama Little Lord
Fauntleroy," dramatized from Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's beautiful
story of that title. In this piece Miss
Carmen will be Dearest, Miss Wood
thorpe Minna, the adventures; Mr.
Craig the Earl, Mr.. Woods the Solicitor,
Mr.. Delano the Grocer, and Fred
Cooper Dick the Bootblack. Little
George Cooper will take the part OF
the Little Lord. The cast is q very
strong one. Little George in New York
received warmer praise for the persona
tion than any of the several youths who
have starred in it. She played in the
comedy throughout the East and South,
and everywhere won the honor as being
the best Cedric on the stage. She does
not merely repeat what is given her, she
acts, puts into the part an individuality

Wild Reports That Evidently Do In
Justice TO an officer.
Constable Brissel is credited with hav-
ing declared on Friday last. after his de-
feat for the nomination for Chief OF Po-
lice had been assured, that if the gam
blers turned card this week he would
eat it.' 1t was further reported on
Saturday that he had ''gone down the
line" and notified all the proprietors of
places where prohibited games have been
permitted to run that they must close up.
There is probably some mistake about
all this, because if Constable Brissel can
close the unlawful games now, he could
have done so long ago. Besides, Con-
stable Brissel surely would not give him
self away by saying aught which would
leave the public to infer that, if he had
been favored with the nomination for
Chief of Police, he would not have OBJ
lected to the games being run.
Constable Brissel may not have as high
forehead as some men, but he certainly
is too smart to make the mistake of open
ing his mouth so wide that he could not
keep his foot out of it.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.

Forced to Beg Money SO That Their

Special Officer Warner last night ar
rested man named Johnston Reed, in
the eastern portion of the city, and lock ed
him up with his two little boys. Itseems
that Reed, who was more or less drunk,
had the children begging for him.
He told the police he lately came
from Cleveland, o., and that he went to
San Francisco to find wealthy brother
whom he supposed resided there, but
failed to unearth him. He says his wife,
in Cleveland, is rich and will send him a
few hundred dollars TO take him and his
boys back there.
The children are both suffering from

stories are not believed. and it is not un-

Officer simmons responded quickly. But
