A FAMOUS NOVELIST.
A Graphic Pen Picture of Hall Game and
Something of His Character.


Something of His Character.
Hall Game is said to resemble Shake
speare in the keen intelligence of his
features and in the intellectual height
of his prominent forehead. He possesses
a highly nervous organization, and his
first novel came near bankrupting him
in health. HIS best work is done after
midnight in the early morning hours.
He is a native of the isle of Man, a
Manxman, and is 45 years old, or there
abouts. Much of his time is spent in
travel, when he exerts his powers of OBJ
servation and gathers material for fu.
ture use. His home is in the English
lake country, overlooking Derwentwa-
ter and above the town of Reswick. 1t
is called "Hawthorns.
The novelist is also at times poet, as
he occasionally writes some verses for
publication. He has decided religious
tendencies, which take the form of in
vestigation. He contemplates writing a
life of Christ, and as he excels in terse,
epigrammatic sentences his style would
be in the direct line of Biblical truths.
He is conscientious and painstaking in
all his literary methods, and his readers
recognize in him one who has sincerity
as a superstructure for every romance of
which he is the architect. New York

RAILS ON CHURCH STREET.
Why the Street Superintendent Does
Not at Once Proceed to Take
Them Away.
His Department Is Waiting for Auth or
izatiOn From the Board of
Supervisors.

There has been a good deal of interest
manifested among citizens as to what
reasons the Street Commissioner could
assign for neglecting to tear up the track
laid by the Market-street Railway Com
pany on Church street, since the City and
County Attorney had formally declared
that the company had no franchise on the
thoroughfare mentioned, all rights for
merly held by it thereon having been
forfeited by its failure to comply with the
requirements of the franchise, which stlpu-
lated the time in which the work was to be
done and with which the railway company
had failed to comply.
Superintendent of Streets Ashworth was
not in his office when sought for yesterday
afternoon, but his chief deputy, Mr.. Dono-
van, volunteered an explanation as to the
position of his department in the matter.
"When the resolution regarding this
(Church) street was passed by the Super
visors action thereon was deferred until an
opinion could be obtained from City and
County Attorney Creswell as regards the
standing of the railroad company in the
matter The official mentioned has given
the information requested, but this de-
partment has as yet received no notltlca-
ton from the board upon which we can
act, and until we do we are necessarily
compelled to remain inactive"
MI Donovan had no explanation to offer
regarding the action of the railroad COM
pany in doing the work mentioned at
night, but the officials of that corporation
state that the only object in this was to
facilitate the work, as there would be hard
ly any Interruptions at night while there
would be in the daytime by the customary
traffic.
The opinion prevails that the tSuper-
visors will not order the track torn up
until after decision has been reached re-
garding the late application of the street

poison. The artificial life led by the hui
man creature has so modified both the race
and the individual that return to hrst
principles in the matter of diet would be
retrograde and wholly unfeasible step.
Within reasonable limitations individual
taste and individual appetite must be the
gauge of the individual diet. Generally
speaking, this is rule that is safe to fol-
low. Even the lower animals are subject
to this sort of individual differentiation.
1 have known OF horses that ate meat.
Most of them are fond of eggs if they once
get the taste of them, just as many dogs
and nearly all cats are fond of vegetables.
No sane person, however, would dream of
arguing from this that all horses should be
given an animal diet or that cats and dogs
should be compelled to become vegetarians.
1t is equally unreasonable for any
theorst or set Of theorists to attempt to
regulate the diet of so complex and
varied a being as man within the limits
of any one set OF rules. 1t is not likely
that the coming man will be a fruitarian
or a vegetarian, or even an eater of cereals
alone. He may, he probably will, largely
abandon the use of meat. He will GER
tainly eat less than it is to-day customary
for him to do, and he will relegate intoxi-
cants to the medicine chest. And doing
these things he will have small use for
doctors. MEDICus.
