Gov. Matthews is inclined to be
very "sore" at the supreme court,
especially with regard to that body's
statement that he is the first gov
ernor that has denied the power OF
the legislature to make such q law
as the prison law. He said, as his
blue eyestwinkled with indignation:
1.-The law is simply republican
scheme to get control OF a consid-
cradle number of Offices. That's
all it is. For years the Legislature
has been tampering with the rights
of the executive, and its time that it
should stop. The supreme court is
mighty jealous Of its own rights,
and because it has the construction
Of the constitution it should also
protect the respective rights OF the
other branches Of the state govern
ernment. Now, the fact is this:
The governor is made co-liable for
the management Of these prisons.
He receives the reports Of the war
dens and is put in a place OF re-
sponsibility. II is absurd to hold
him responsible unless he is given a
show in the management. So long
as | am in this chair will stick up
for the rights due this office, to the
very last"
Good One on Sweeney.
A good story anent the decisi' n
is told on A. NJ. Sweeney, late Gle K

is claimed, told his friends there
: that the decision was ready to hand
, down; that he had it from an inside
r source, that it would uphold the
, governor right through, and that
Z the democrats would be strictly in
it. As a result his friends offered

!. fixed to rake in big stakes. They
didn't however, and now the laugh

THE STRIKE OF A SEX.

That men and women are interested in
the subject of which George n. Miller
treats in this very remarkable book of his
may be inferred by the fact that it is al
ready in its thirtieth thousand.
"The Strike of Sex can only be char
acterized as a remarkable book 1t pos
sesses quality shared by few books SO
obviously written with purpose, fair
degree of literary merit. 1t is, moreover,
a perfectly serious study, entirely within
the limitations of taste, of a subject which,
while OF crucial importance to mankind,
is not generally treated of outside of med
zeal annals Mr. Miller evidently believes,
to quote his own words, that everything
of human interest is worthy of conscien-
tious, painstaking study, and that every
thing involving human happiness or
misery is a legitimate field for honest effort
for improvement. He has therefore turned
his attention to a consideration OF the
woes of womankind, under existing social
custom and habit of thought, through ex-
cessive child bearing.
His story is of a condition of society I'M
der which all the women throughout the
country-mothers, wives, daughters and
the courtesan-have 'struck'; have re-
tired from the presence of man, and refuse
to have any manner of dealing with the
Sterner nail or humanity until certain COLI
ditions which they impose are agreed upon.
All but one of these the men hasten to
comply with. Full political and social
rights are accorded women, but the latter
refuse to capitulate until it is fixed as a
law, legal as we'll as ethical, that every
wife shall have the sole right to determine
whether or not she shall bear children.
The logical basis for this demand is laid
in certain discovery" which the author
places to the credit of one Zugassent, an
eminent scientist, and which renders pos
sinle, and compatible with matrimonial
happiness, the fulfllment of the women s
demand. In what the discovery" con-
sists the author does not say, regretable
circumstance which he has in a measure
remedied in another book which be calls
After the Sex Struck There is an i'm
mense suggestion in Mr.. Miller's book.
The benefit the reader derives from it will
depend largely, however, upon what
he brings to it of thoughtful, hon
est purpose. Mr.. Miller himself is
Violently in earnest and his book
is wholly free from any suggestion
of a desire on his part to wander I'M
warrantably into forbidden paths. 1t is
thoughtful and sincere, and the con cep-
ton, extravaganza though it is, is worthy
OF consideration.

THEIR CREDENTIALS.

DR.. w. III. Copeland is a graduate of
Bellevue Hospital Medical College of
New York City, was president of his class
in that famous institution, and, after
thorough hospital training and ex-
perience, devoted his time and attention
to special lines Of practice. DIR. Neal and
Dr.. Winn passed through similar
course, and have for years been assoc
ciated with DIR. Copeland
DR.. j. G. Neal won first honors in col
1ege, and was appointed resident physi-
clan of the City Hospital. He filed the
position with honor and received the
hospital diploma. He also holds several
gold medals for special excellence in
various branches of medicine, and after
graduation elected adjunct
professor of his college.
Dr.. A. G. Winn is a graduate of Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, and of the
medical department of the Unive rsity of
Missouri. They have devoted them
selves entirely to the treatment of their
specialties. Years of experience in these
special lines, preceded by extensive
hospital work, have fitted them in a
notable degree for the practice of their

house, and the cool OF the afternoon often
brought callers from the "beach"-offieers
from the men-of-war, missionaries, officials,
bluejackets, local residents, priests, Mormon
elders, passing tourists-all the fotsam and
JetSam, in fact, of pretty port lying on one
OF the great thoroughfares of the world. 1t is
hard for an outsider to realize the life and
ANNA ton there is in Samoa. The American
conjures up picture of a frontier post; the
EngGshman har&s to hpling and station lie
in India, and both are wrong. Samoa is very
cosmopolitan for all its insignifcance on the
map, and its white population of 400 souls.
Balls, picnics and parties are of common oc-
rumor and island gossip; and four steamers a
month link the group to the outside world
and bring endless procession OF strange
faces across our little stage.
Mr.. Stevenson was fond OF amusement ana
hospitality, and, apart from q constant sue
ceSsion of more formal luncheon parties and
dinners, there was always room at mis- mahog-
any for the unexpected guests that the chef
had orders to bear in mind. The first cotillon
ever given at Samoa took place at Naillma; the
first pony paper-chase was got up under Mr..
SteYenson's direction; he was always eager to
bear his part in any scheme for the public en-
tertainment and his support and subscription
could always be reckoned on in advance. Nor
was he less backward with regard to the ma
tiYes, whom he often feasted in the Samoan
way with great pomp and a rigorous regard to
etiquette and custom. His birthday party was
a veritable gathering of the clans, beginning at
dawn and continuing uninterrupte till
dusk, with huge feast and troops of dancers
to entertain the people. A Christmas tree re-
joiced the household every year, and was the
occasion OF breathless anticipation and excite
ment; and the little fiesta was not unenhanced
by the good-humored raillery with which the
presents were distributed.
Mr.. Stevenson could not be seen to better
advantage than at the head of his faultless
table, sharing and leading the conversation OF
the guests that various strange fates had
brought together beneath his roof. He loved
the contrast of evening dress and the half
naked attendants, the rough track that led the

that there is no adventure in them. They
are truly the simple annals of the poor.
The charm of them lies in the very quiet
ness of the life described the genial humor
of the characters and the exquisite SIM
plicity of the style. Gait is more like
Goldsmith than any other writer, but
while in the "Vicar of Wakefield" there is
q continuous story with distinct begin
ming, middle and end, with plot that is
unraveled as the story goes on, in the
ANNALS of the Parish" there is none of
these. Each chapter can be read sepa-
rately with almost as much pleasure as
in connection with others, and the only
continuity in the book is the recurrence
of certain men and women in every
chapter.
In his own age Gait was entirely over
Swallowed by the wonderful success of
SCOTS novels, but at this time it is posi-
bic he may take almost as high rank as
his great rival The novels of Scott are
romances, but those of Gait are real his
tory. A truer picture OF life among the
Scotch at the close of the last century can
not be found anywhere than In the works
which are now being republished. They
are literally sketches from life as well as of
life, and are none the less interesting be-
cause the types are drawn from the peas
antry and not from the richer classes.

Something of a between-times in litera-
ture as in events, social and otherwise, are
these weeks of early autumn. Hopeful
authors are laying secret plans for winter
triumphs, and readers are waiting for what
next. In the name of all patriotism it is
to be hoped that the literary grist of the
approaching months will be worth taking
from the mill. High standard American
fiction is the need of the day-strong, char
acteristic and true. The sentiment is grow
ing that the English fiction writers are
poaching too much on our preserves.
Their literary following is often larger
abroad than at home. But we must admit
the reason is that the standard of their
