4 New Novelist.

Up to the present George dn Maurier
might have been called an artist-au-
thor. Since the publication Of his last
story, Triilby, 8 however, he is better
called author artist High as was his
distinction previously as an artist, he
will undoubtedly henceforth be better
known as novel writer. Attention was
at once drawn to him when two years
ago his first story, Peter Ibbetson, 8 s
appeared as q modest magazine serial.
Those who were familiar with his adj
mirable society satires IN the form of
pictures in the periodicals doubted
whether a man could at once be sue
cessful artist and novelist. But t'Pe-
ter Ibbetson' had a quality SO fresh, SO
magnetic and altogether pleasurable that
the question answered itself Here was
a new vein Of fiction that seemed prom
Using. The story Of 'Trilby'' makes the
reader wish Du Maurier had begun to
write novels in the first place instead of
spending two-thirds Of his life in MAX
ing comic illustrations for the picture
papers.
The strange part of it is that this
Englishman, who is half French, did
not take up authorship till be was 81
years old. ''Peter Ibbetson'' was the
first thing he ever wrote, and it was an
Immediate success. It disproves the old
dictum that men cannot take up new
occupations successfully after their
youth is gone. There is no instance on
record. however, where an Individual
began story writing so late in life as Du
Maurier has done and succeeded in it.
George Eliot was only 80 when she be-
gan novel writing. With Du Maurier's
example before us, we know for certain
that it is never too late to do we'll.
'''Trilby' is a greater novel than ''Pe-
ter Ibbetson.''
Thackeray is the only one of the great
novelists gone before who could illus
trate his own stories. Du Maurier re-
sembles Thackeray in his style more
than any other who has appeared. Three
features especially impress the delighted
reader in the Du Maurier novels. One
is the fine, keen handling of psycholog-
ical topics. Another is the cleanness of
his characters. Even those who have
been through muddy places in the road
have no soil clinging to them: But best
of all is the exquisite sweetness and
lovableness Of his heroes and heroines.
Even his strongest, manifest men are
as loving and lovable as little child.
This quality is what the world Of real
life needs most of all today.

The amount of water on the earth's sur

will die begging for 9 drop of moisture

Twenty-three Stories High.

An architect says there is no reason,
except limit of elevator power, why
houses should not be built 1000 feet
high. AS it is, no elevator at present
devised can travel higher than 400 feet
at most. So if we went up / 900 feet
we would have to change cars, SO to
speak, two or three times. There is un-
der construction at New York city a
building % stories in height. It is a
source Of satisfaction to New Workers
that this will be taller than the famous
Masonic temple at Chicago. Four other
structures Of equal height are now go
ing up in various parts Of New York
city, and one of 80 stories has been
planned for plot Of ground near the
foot Of Broadway.
The man who discovered that an iron
frame was better than a stone or brick
wall to give strength to house was the
man that made the modern skyscrap-
ing structure possible. That was only
10 years ago, yet later builders have al
ready improved ON the original idea.
The frame is now made of steel instead
Of iron, rendering it stronger still. Now
that they have begun there is no telling
where the tower houses will stop The
lower floors of such houses will, how
ever, be dark as Egypt if they are near
to any other buildings. &xss.#

A fire that threatened to burn
the whole town started in the
rear OF Mill's Hotel about IL
O'Clock Thursday but by
the good work of the citizens
was kept from spreading but not
until it had burned the hotel and
barns and W. "A Turner's store and
warehouses. The depot and post
office were on fire several times but
were put out before the fire had got
ten under Roadway. If the postof-
flee had burned nothing could have
saved the town as the wind was in
favor of the fire. From the time the
fire was discovered all hopes of say
ing the dwellings were abandoned
and the efforts OF the citizens were
turned to saving the contents and
keeping the fire from spreading.
They were successful in saving most
everything in the buildings. Loss
on buildings about as follows:
Mills hotel and barns, $4,000, insured
for $500; w. A. Turner's store and
warehouse, $3.50, insured Tor. $500: w:
A. Turner, carried $3.50 insurance on
stock and household goods and he
occupied thesecond story of the st ore

insurance ON contents but the loss
by fire is small goods being but some
what damaged. The origin of the fire
is unknown but is supposed to have
started from the barn by some one
smoking. ~

council" said lawyer to a Louis

tleman.
"'Now, there said the politician,
lis as honest a man as there is in
town. Yes, sir, l tell you, he is
the straightest man l know. He
is white, he is. You need never be
afraid Of him beating you, for he is
honest to the backbone. When
you buy his vote you may be sure
he will do as he promises. If he
happens to find out that he cannot
carry out his contract, why he
won't pocket your money and say
nothing. No, stree, he will give
your money back to you every
time. Now, that is what l call an
honest man."

which the senators interested in it
will doubtless try to have con-

The Joy-o'Neill Case.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Rep-

the Missouri Democratic dele
CATION in Congress, today re-
ceived telegram from Chairman
Flavin, of the Goth ward Demo-
cratic committee, of st. Louis, urg-
ing the Democrats of Missouri to
vote for Joy, Republican, in the
Joy-O'Neill contested election, now
before the House. The Goth ward
is in the st. Louis district, now in
contest. The dispatch states that
if O'Neill is seated by the throwing
out Of many of joys votes, it will
reflect seriously in the future. AS
Mr.. Head is out Of the city, the
telegram was taken charge of
and circulated among the Missouri
delegation. The st. Louis case is
creating much feeling among the
Missouri congressman. A caucus
has been held without resulting
in united action. Dearmond,
Heal and Morgan are voting
for JOY, while the other Mis-
souri, Democrats have thus far
voted for O'Neill. The fill
buster is tending to unite the
delegation for O'Neill as it has
directed the issue from the case it
self. Several of the Missouri con-
gressmen say it would have been
impossible to reinstate Joy if the
filibustering had not occurred.

this reduction in the Liverpool
stock is taken from the visible

was rather better than looked for.
Our market was very steady dur

Condition of the Strike.

LONDON, March 31.--Tn an inter-
view the secretary of the English
syndicate of st. Louis breweries,
said he did not think the threat Of
the Brewers Union and the
Knights of Labor to boycott the
breweries would have any serious
results. The union, he said, had
called their men on a strike and
many of these employed had come
back with tears in their eyes and
explained that they did not want
to go out, but were compelled to
obey the orders of the eXecu-
tive officers of the union.
Since the breweries had
employed free labor in preference
to union labor, the union had be-
come greatly imbettered against
them, hut the union had not been
able nor would they ever be able
to coerce the managers of the
breweries into treating with them.
"The free laborers are well paid
and are perfectly satisfied" he
said. ave do not expect any
trouble with our workmen or our
customers, and we have no fear OF
the threats"
