The Story of Lawrence Garthe, by
Ellne Olney Kirk, author of Queen
Money, etc. Lawrence Garthe, the best
of good fellows, wins fame and fortune
in the West, but also an adventures for
a wife, who leaves him and his boy, to
seek soiace where they may. Beginning
new life with manly courage, new
love in time breaks upon his horizon,
where heretofore his child had been his
one happiness. Matters ara not to move
on, however, without much complica-
ton into which the first wife, as might
be foreseen, enters conspicuously. The
story lackssthe maintained naturalness
of some OF Mrs. Kinks other novels. but
it has the pretty art and grace which
she always shows in depicting home life
and society functions. The plot is varied
by some woman suffrage suggestions in
PRODUCED in order to be demolished.
Second marriages are rather numerous
in the story. ThisSwriter is exceedingly
well liked, and this volume will share
the popularity of it's companions from
the same pen. Boston and New York:

The Great Refusal, Being Letters of
Dreamer in Gotham, edited by Paul
Elmer More. The title Of this volume
is of esoteric significance. 1t follows
Goethe's Faust" renounce, renounce.
renounce:" If ones spiritual powers are
to be developed the material must be
conquered. The philosophy of it's teach
ing is Isolation and inattachment. De-
votion to the individual is to be merged
into love of the world general. and so
a state is to be attained where the soul
is freed from all desire self-ward," and
is made fit for union with the Highest.
The rejection of earthly pleasures for
the purer joys Of the spirit-"this is no
less than grant rifiinto, the great re-
fusal.
Addresses to the fair lady of the
writer's choice are in the form of love
letters, and contain poems, philosophical
and lyric. Giving over his wooing,
our Dreamer drifts on in his theosophic
course, .and the final chapters are of
Altman and the Orient. In the earlier
and lighter letters here is pretty re-
frain, translated from the birds note
at firstshand:
Now tellsme throstle, pretty bird,
Wherefore thy merry note?
/, too, would .sing, but sudden cares
And sorrowsstop.my throat.
II sing because I'm happy, Sir,
And if it were not SO
I'd sing to make me happy, Sir,
And that is all know
All well, but if the lady bird
Who hears thy throbbing note
Were cold AS winter, would thy song
Freeze not within thy throat?-
"I'd sing and thaw her bosom, Sir,
And if it were not SO,
I'd sing and thaw my sorrow, Sir;
And that is all l know"

Cannot Agree.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-lt Is said, on the authority of conservative senator, that the Republican eonferrees will be called in today and senators will make a proposition to report disagreement on the tariff bill. If the house will not accept this a resolution will be presented in the senate recalling the senate con ferrees.
 Ut will be lively in here today" said one of the Democratic senators as he en- tered the senate, who had just conferred with those managing the senate end of the contest.
 In all probability the house cenferrees will decline to accept the senate propo- sition on free sugar. The administra- ton people think it is only bluff. The house eonferrees are not pressing the sugar, iron and coal schedules with as much vigor as they did yesterday They have changed their tactics, now attack ing the wooden and other schedules, claiming the senate amendments to these schedules were insisted upon by the Republicans, therefore should be striken out. The senators in charge of the bill declare they will not yield to the dictation of the president, even if the bill has to be defeated.

Tariff conferrees Have Reached the
 Point Demanding Action.
 WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The Demo- cratic conferrees resumed their sitting yesterday, and during the beginning of the conference there was an interchange of suggestions. based upon the offer made by the senate conferrees Thurs day to accept free sugar as provided by the house bill, the senate bill on other items to be accepted by the house. It did not take the conferrees long to find they could come to no agreement on this basis and the first house member to make his appearance said so. Within half an hour after the conference began the senate conferrees left the room and met Senator German in the room of the committee on appropriations. Other conservative senators were sent for and it was said the point had been reached when a decision one way or the other must be settled.
 One of the house conferrees said the tension was very great and the situation very unsettled, but there must be a breakup soon, as the present condition of affairs could not last.

A proud and chivalrous people, woftny of freedom, cannot shirlS the responsibii- ities the situation enforces. A distin- guished patriot asserted that man who would not fight for liberty is unworthy of freedom We do not advise fighting or lawlessness of any kind but the eri- sis has arrived which demands that the sovereign power shall assert itself to compel unworthy servants of its will to submit to its power and recognize it's authority.
 Your committee recognizes that it has been entrusted with certain duties and that its powers are circumscribed; and it feels authorized only in going to the ex- tent of advising and urging those whom II represents to exercise the power vested i'll them. and to hold meetings on Thurs day. Aug. g, at the respective court houses, if not otherwise specified, to act upon this great crisis, and to insist that their manhood. patriotism and love of liberty, which has always invoked prompt and decisive action from them shall find expression ill their course, which will be creditable to their rovo- lutionary sires, and furnish precedent in our history to which all will ever re- vert with pride and satisfaction
 At the same time and place we will urge the organization of law and order leagues to uphold the supremacy of that greatest of all law and power-the SOW eign will of a free people.

An Odorous Euncus.

"At my country home" said a woman
the other day, 1--WE have what we call our
hammock parlor.' 1t is Il circle of tall
pines in which five hammocks are swung,
and here we spend most of our time in
summer. One season our favorite resort
was invaded by n most unpleasant smell.
1t was distinctly that of carrion, but we
searched everywhere for a dead mouse,
bird or other animal that should be respon-
sible for it, Every day the odor remained,
and at last, when we were expecting some
friends to share the pleasures of our al
fresco parlor, determined they should not
share this evil as well.
ARMED with rake, went over the ad-
jacent ground foot by foot, and had almost
finished without success, when my tool
broke off small aud almost unnoticed
fungus growing in the decaying root of a
cut down plum tree. Instantly my nostrils
told me had found the source of our
trouble, and on searching farther / raked
out fifteen of these growths, each power
fully redolent as it was uprooted. l made
heap of them some distance away and
piled fresh earth over them. when, like
magic, their smell vanished. Later a
neighbor told me what my many sum.
mers of country life had never revealed
that this 'carrion toadstool' is distinc;
and recognized class of fungus to boti..
nists. New York Times.
