out OF the proceeds Of novel which
he wrote a few years ago. a New
York novelist has a trunkful Of bonds
which grew from his novels. Another
New York man, who could not get on
as reporter took TO novel writing ana
Is pillng up money. At least twenty
American women novelists have Won
or are winning fortunes. Carleton, who
was once n publisher here, can tell
stories all night about the sums he
has paid. to novel writer's whose books
he got out. The Harpers can tell bet
ter stories, true In every case. Robert
Bonner can tell the very best stories,
and prove their accuracy by his ledg-
ers.
This is the second best country in
the world for noyelists. The best
country IS France, which has had a
regiment Of popular novelists in the
Nineteenth century, some Of whom
have mnde millions OF francs. Lots Of
them can be seen In Paris, rich as
lords.
We do not wonder that the great
majority of English novelists make
nothing" and thar nearly all OF them
are hard up, Not one English novel
in hundred IS worth reading.
In this country the popular taste for
novels Is liable to frequent change,
The old-tlme novels Of Indians and
pirates and glory and atroclty, which
the grandfathers liked. are not so
much in vogue as they We're. The
novels of lachrymose love and gal
vanic souls, which kept the fathers
awake, have waned IN popularity. The
thing that goes best now Is the So
ciety novel, the tender and dainty, the
picture drawing, the character draw
ing the rnther gay and pleasing, the
good hammered and much restrained,
the pathetic or humorous, the reform,
the arbiter elegantiarum the go-lightly
novel. There may yet be people who
like the novels Of awful traredv or
halr-breadth escape, or curdled blood.
or dark revenge, or tomahawk and
scalplng knife, or cutlass and pldueer-
err; but the publishers say there are
far more people who like novels of
soulfulness or gentility, or congenial-
ity or speculative sympathy, or good
and wen dressed people of both sexes

women today are greater novel readers
than the men.

of the Rhode Island hospital. He had
his tongue amputated, and nothing re-
mains of II but "a stump. Still he can
talk. contrary TO the expectations Of
physicians and surgeons who wit
messed the successful operation.
Mr. Russell is over 50 years old.
For years he has been smoker For
some time he has used a brarwood
pipe, the stem of which was smooth,
but in some manner the end OF his
tongue was irritated a few months
ago 1t was discovered that cancer
was forming, and the tip Of his tongue
was umputated.
The growth was almost like that
which eventually caused the death of
General Grant. Mr.. Russell was in
formed that he could not be cured.
He consulted the physicians at the
Rhode Island hospital and they at his
request agreed to amputate the dis
eased member TO prolong his life. Mr..
Russell was taken TO the hospital and
there In the presence Of over fifty doc
tors, his tongue was removed. He

Col. jacob De Gress, who died Mt

and important figure in Texas politics
Coming to the state as Federal officer
he took office under Gov Davis In re-
construction days, and as state superin-

the prominent factors Of those
times. He was afterwards elected
mayor Of Austin. and served under the
Arthur administration as postmaster
for the capital For several years he
was virtually dictator OF the state Re-

he was forced to surrender to n. w.

We cannot see how there can be
question that the coining by any per-
son other than the government OF sill
yer dollars can be anything but coun-
torfelting. Senator sherman's rcsolu-
ton asking for an opinion from the
senate judiciary on this question was
probably introduced for the purpose
Of bringing up the matter 1t Is nj
legged that In Nebraska there is pri-
vate mint where silver dollars arc
coined OF the same weight and fine
ness as the dollars coined by the gov
ernments mints The proht OF the
owners OF this private mint is the
"seigniorage." The silver In n dollar
is now worth ns bullion about 80
cents. so that the nat" quality OF the
dollar has to make up the other bO
cents TO bring It TO par.
This fat Is by virtue Of the govern
ment stamp on the dollar. It Is
prerogative and a perquiste of gov
erelgnty. Though the actual silver In
the dollar is not counterfeited. the
dollar il a counterfeit because the
governments stamp IL couuterfeited
and the national treasury is robbed Of
It's seigniorage pront.
II the government sio-bill stamp IS
imprinted on piece OF paper eN-
aotly similar to that used for legal
tender SiO-dollar bills. and the paper
Is worth as much MS the paper used
by the government, does the bill pro-
duccd become countcrfeit7 There Is
no question OF this, and there Is no
more reason why this should be
counterfeit than the silver dollar
minted by a private mint.

Honrdcd wealth Found In the
Howell OF widow Hatch.


BY Associated Press.
Yarmouthport, Mass, March 22.-The
miserable hovel in which widow Al
mira Hatch died few days ago has
turned out n vertable gold mine. For
ten years Mrs. Hatch lived In abject
poverty, supported entirely by the
nelghbors. a few days ago she was
found dead In chair in her house.
Fifty-seven plates containing untouch-
ed food, the kindly gifts Of neighbors,
We found In her pantry The town
records show that fifty years ago this
woman gave birth 10 triplets. Her
husband died many years ago. As no
relatives Were found to claim the body
or the property, the town officials were
put in charge.
Tuesday two attractive young wo-
men from Salem put In an appearance
with a claim OF Relationship. They
said that they had supposed that their
aunt was rich, from letters they had
received from her from time to time.
In these communications she referred
TO her corner lot" and 10 her town
hal lot" both OF which would not
bring $500 II put up at auction today.
Long since the old town hall has fallen
TO pieces with age
Searchera who ransaciod the howell
have been rewarded by various finds
of money. almost invariably wrapped
In rags, The house is being searched
from top TO bottom. In one corner Of
the house under a pile OF rubbish was
found $t25 in gold. In an old chimney
corner .waa found more than $3.50 in
silver, Thus FAR 1880 has been found.
and the search Is not yet ended.
Mrs. Hatch was a woman OF mtell-
gence and well read on the religious
and general topics VI the day. Many
bills which her husband left when he
died were discounted for less than half
their value on the plea OF poverty.
