Thousands of people during these years,
seeking homes in the far West, found
shelter and food for themselves and feed
for their stock at his stage stations with
out money or price. 1t was not only in
these instances that he displayed energy
and enterprise. He has, with two or
three other men of his kind, built two
lines of railroad several hundred miles
in length. These roads opened up and

Sleuth" stories, and the financial results
have moro than justified his anticipations.
His stories have ncttcd him something
over $500, coo and produce for him an in
come of $50, 600 year.
The amount of work Mr.. Halsey has ac-
complishcd in the past 20 years is some
thing prodigious. His stories average be-
tween 80, 600 and IS, 600 words each and
have required the preparation of more than
40, 600 closely written manuscript pages
He says that his work is largely mechan-
ical, and that he goes about it daily as a
carpenter goes to his bench, writing from
90 to 40 pages of manuscript on 300 out of
the 313 working days of each year He
takes pride in the fact that there is not a
single word in any story he has written
that could be objected to by the most rigid
moralist.
Mr.. Halsey looks more like prosperous
merchant than typical author. He is a
strongly built man of medium stature,
with strong, good face, conventional
dress and businesslike manner He is a
business man of considerable ability, too,
and has increased his fortune to very near
the 10 figure limit by shrewd investments
in real estate and financial projects. He is
a director is a Brooklyn trust company and
takes great deal of interest in Republic
an politics in the City of Churches.
The Halseys are an old Long Island
family, and "Old Sleuth" is very proud OF
his ancestry. His four great grandfathers
fought in the Revolution, and six of his
ancestors were military officers in the ole
colonial wars. The walls of his handsome
Brooklyn home are hung with many por
traits of these vigorous and comely people
and much of his furniture is priceless from
old associations.

"oLD sLEUTH" IN PRIVATE LIFE
His Name Is Harland =. Halsey, and He
Has Made n Fortune.

Among the millions of readers who have
been entertained by perusing the stories
of "Old Sleuth, the Detective" there are
not many who know that until quite re-
Gently the author of those stories was a
member of the Brooklyn board of educa-
ton. Yet it is n fact that he occupied a
scat in that body for nearly nine years,
and it is also fact that he might still be
a member of it if he had not resigned be-
cause of the pressure of private business
In private life "Old Sleuth" is known
as Harland Page Halsey. He began writ
ing for n cheap weekly story paper under
his famous pen name over20 years ago. AS
a very young man he had literary aspira-
tions of u higher order than his detective
stories indicate, but he discovered that
there was more money to be made in cheap
literature and smothered his aspirations
in the interest of his pocketbook. Since
then he has written more than $50 'Old

fact that her age is somewhere in the for
ties. Her keen appreciation OF the ludi
crous is as apparent in her conversation as
in her literary work, but though she may
ridicule your pct fad you cannot help real
izing that she is thoroughly good and true
hearted.
Bonnie View, Miss Holley's rural home
in jefferson county, N. Y, is an ideal
abiding place for an author and has been
in the family for five generations. An
opening in the woods in front of the house
gives "a view of Lake Ontario which is
some seven miles away, and in the rear
rise the beautiful Lorraine hills. Miss
Holley has replaced the little brown cot
tage in which she was born with more
pretcntious dwelling, and the grounds,
which are her special pride, have been
highly cultivated. There are summer
houses and arbors conveniently placed, and
Samantha" spends great deal of time in
the summer among her flowers. In recent
years she has spent her winters in New
York city
Miss Hollcy is now wealthy woman,
but she works as hard as she did when
money was an object. She usually writes
from O'Clock in the morning until and
devotes the afternoon and evening to other
duties and to amusement. She says she
has always written, having commenced
when a mere child. She thinks the selcc-
ton of her nom de plume may have been
somewhat influenced by the name of Arte-
mus Ward. Some man C-1ce tried to steal
the name Josiah Aliens Wife" and even
had it copyrighted, but Miss Holley was
able to prove her prior right to it.
All Miss Hollcy's books teach some good,
homely lesson, and all have had an aston
ishing success. Most people know he1
through her prose writings, but she has
also written verse. Mr.. Whittier once
wrote to her regarding one of her pocms
II have read thy poems with great satis-
faction. With the wit and wisdom of Jo-
siah Aliens Wife 1 have long been fa-

stand alone in the volume"

IN HANCOCK'S MEMORY.


The national capital is to have an eques-
trian statue of General Hancock. 1t is to
be of heroic size and will be set up in the
reservation in Pennsylvania avenue, be
tween Seventh and Eighth streets, most
conspicuous and admirable position for a
noble work Of art such as the statue prom
Uses to be. The design selected is by Henry
j. Ellicott of Washington and represents
General Hancock as he appeared at the
battle OF Gettysburg. The ~ lei was pre-
pared before the death of Mrs. Hancock,
who considered it admirable in every way
and urged its acceptance by the commits
sion to whom congress assigned the duty
of selecting n design. This commission
consisted of the secretary of war and Sena-
tors Proctor, Voorhees, and Cookrell.
The statue will be of heroic size, about
half again as large as life, and its dimen-
sions will be about the same as those OF

elected, and that Dr. Briggs is not likely
to have as many sympathiZers among
them as before.
But even If the Briggs case is not re-
opened the general assembly will have a
heresy case before it, The defendant will
be Rev. Henry p. Smith, formerly pro-
fessor in Lane Theological seminary at
Cincinnati. In the fall of 1892 charges of
hcrctical teaching were preferred against
him before the presbytery at Cincinnati.
The charges were sustained and he was
suspended from the exercise Of his minis
try. The local board of Lane seminary
supported him, and he appealed to the
synod of Ohio, which, at its meeting last
year, confirmed the action of the presby-
terry. During the past year DR. Smith re-
signed his chair at Lane. He has served
formal notice of appeal from the synod
upon Rev. DIR. Roberts, the stated clerk of
the general assembly, and his case will be
on the docket of the national body.
1t is likely that DIR. Smith will meet the
fate of DIR. Briggs, as the two agree on
many points of alleged heresy. The con-
servatives maintain that DR.. Smith vir-
tually denies the inspiration Of the Bible.
He believes that there are mistakes in the
Bible, but declares that he is as loyal to
the doctrine of inspiration as any Presby-
terrain With DR.. Briggs he advocates the
higher criticism and denies that Moses is
the author of the Pentateuch. He main
tains that Isaiah wrote but half of the
book ascribed to him, the remainder be-
ing the composition of some unknown per
son
DR. Smith holds also that the Bible is In
error in many details a proposition which
he seeks to establish by computations based
upon the stated number Of men in armies,
etc. The conservatives call DIR. Smiths a
destructive criticism which seeks to tear
in pieces the wool and warp of the word
of God. They allow a certain reverential
criticism, but they maintain that the spirit
of God so guided the authors of the sacred
books that they made no mistakes.

A curious and interesting fact given by
the registrar general in his statistics for
1898 is that in the Celtic portions of the
United Kingdom the proportion of the fe-
male births is much higher than it is in
the non Celtic portions. The highest pro
portions are found in Cumberland, Corn
wall and north Wales. The proportion
of female births is higher in Ireland and
Scotland than in England.
