HOW'RE HAS PRODUCED 1876 VOLUMES
AND 1000 SHORT STORIES.
A Visit to tho Literary Workshop OF VII
liam T. Adams-A Remarkable Example
Of Hale Old Age-The Most Successful
Living American Author.
Especial cosresoondeucs.l

Especial Correspondence.
Boston, Dec. 2i.-To know a man you
must see him at home, and to appreciate
the virtue and strength of Oliver Optic
you must see him in his literary work
shop, where he has produced most Of the
1875 volumes and 1 900 short stories which
have delighted two generations Of Amer
lean youth. At the age of % he is writing
as Systematically and almost as hard as
ever, impelled BY the pure love OF working
out the creatures of his fancy. A chapter
is his daily quota, eight to ten printed
pages, equal to two newspaper columns.
William T. Adams is the name by which
he is known to his neigbbors in Dorches-
ter, a suburban district of this city. In q
frame house, which he built five and thirty
years ago, when he was yet schoo,mas-
ter, he has lived and written most Of his
books. You would be surprised to see him
in his den. 1t is a side room, leading of
from bis largo library, and is scarcely lar
ger than good sized cupboard. There the
busy typewriter, the books open for refer.
ence during the early hours Of the day, Gig
nifty that chapter Of adventure and TO
nance is being woven as steadily and sci
entifically as q bolt Of cloth is run from
the loom.
His Personal Appearance.
The man who sits at the typewriter is
thickset. His short, well trimmed beard
Is grizzled, not white, and though his hair
is sparse on tho top Of the high, domelike
head it is thick upon the sides, and its sill
very surface is notified with dark brown.
Every part of the man seems to protest
against the encroachment Of age. You
would not think him day over 60.
AS he works hour after hour he watches
a drawing before him. 1t is the plan of q
ship, with the staterooms numbered. A
long list of names is beside the drawing.
They arc the imaginary passengers Of this
phantom ship, the Guardian Angel, that
is now blowing her way through the In
dian ocean under the piIotage Of Captain
Optic. Each person, as upon a real ship,
Is assigned to q certain stateroom and p
particular seat at table. To preserve the
reality of the tale each one is made to keep
his own place, for how awkward it would
be il Mr.. A. should retire in Mr. B.
room, or If Mr.. <. should take the cap
tain's place at the head Of the tablet All
these people are as real to the author as If
he were among them.
To manage this ship calls for a mari
ner's skill too. You will see Captain OPP
tic take q chart from drawer, place an
instrument upon it and take an observa-
ton, which he duly notes down in the
narrative. To get bis sailing directions
for the port of Bombay he takes his double
ruler and makes some quick movements
upon the chart. 1t is all done with q saa-

WHO WAS He?
The Villain Who Assaulted Meaiie Zeig-

Ter.
Last night about IL O'Clock the
peace and quiet of Fourth avenue
between Twenty first and Twenty
second streets was disturbed by cries
of '.Mama!" .'Mama." ..Helpr'
''Help!' which issued from the sound
lungs of swarthy female, Mile
Zeig,er, by name, whose propensity
it is to keep rather late hours and to
make more noise than a Krupp gun.
Millie had crossed the street for
the purpose of procuring a buck
ct OF water, and in SO doing
she met an acquaintance and began
talking to him. The Young man'was
a little the worse for hops and
began to act roughly. when Mile
started on run across the street.
and uttered the above cries. When
near her home the young man over
took her. and grabbed her, and then
it was that he showed his brutality
by choking her. Oscar Gulliher,
painter, happened along just in
time to save ..Mealie" from an
iSnominious fate. He reached for a
putty knife and made a jump at the
man, who let go the girl and ran.
Officer Mul1ueen arrived on the scene
and lanterns and lamps were pro-
cured and a vigilant search made for
the assailant, but he could not be
found.
But it is now learned that while
the search was at boiling heat. the
villain calmly walked up Twenty
second street from Third avenue.
and when he reached Fourth, friends
told him the best possible thing he
could do was to leave the state-which
he did.
