RECENT PUBLICATION

DRIFTINGs IN DREAMLAND.-One of
the most notable contributions of the fes-
tive season to local literature is a little
volume of poems entitled "Driftings in
Dreamland," by DR.. Jerome A. Anderson.
The author, who is well known In cultured
ciicles in this city, assures the reader 10 an
introduction that the poems, almost with
out exception. were written when he was
quite young. He further states that che
believes from the very depths of his being
that all men are alike. and one in essence.
and therefore that all have the poetic fac
ul.y either actually or potentially, To
demons rate this by striking few chords
to which the hum blest and lowliest hearts
can respond, the collection is published"
DR.. Anderson has little to apologize for
in the youthful origin of his poems and
there is no doubt that he has struck
"chords to which The hum blest and lowIi-
est hearts can respond" What there is o
youthfulness can only be distinguished by
peculiar freshness and simplicity OF
treatment which cannot fail to charm.
while through the entire collection there
runs golden thread of philosophy and
profound feeling, such as without the
authors explanation would assuredly have
been accredited to the genius of maturity.
The various verses are conveniently

SOME HATS THAT ARE WORN
Differences of Opinion About the
Ideal Reformed Dress - An
Old Empire Gown.

Dear Lilly: The subject agitating many
feminine minds just DOW perhaps more
than any other is dress reform; and that
some reform is needed 1 think every sem
sible person will allow. The difficulty Is
to invent costume that will meet all re-
quirements and yet not offend the delicate
sensiblities of our male admirers. If
men could once experience the utter i'm
practica bility of the present style of skirt
they would hardly wish to condemn
women to lis continuance. Can they
imagine themselves peregrinating the city
with seven yards of sinuous material,
heavy too, Topping about their feet and
trailing on the ground? Surely among
all the fertile brains which have put
their energies into this subject some
thing could be evolved other than
the hybrid costumes which have
appeared in the public prints. half man.

THEY WILL DO 1T.
Lanson Northey a Victim
of Bunko Men.
He Parts With SIS in Coin aud an
Endorsed Certificate OF De-
post of $500.

The old-time bunko lottery game was
successfully played yesterday upon Lam
son Northey. a stranger in the city. who
parted with S25 in coin and certificate of
deposit for $500 with the American Bank
and Trust Company.
Northey arrived in the city on Thursday
and registered at the BROOKLYN Hotel, on
Bush street, between Sansome and Mont
gomery. That day he deposited $500 in
bank and received the certificate Of de-
post.
Yesterday morning at the hotel he got
into conversation with an affable young
man. and, after chatting about the weather
and other general topics. the young man
said hs had to go to the Postoffice for his
mail. Northey, as he had nothing else to
do, went with him.
From there they went to the Mint and
Northey became quite enthused over his
new friend. After leaving the Mint the
latter said he had check for $3.50 in a
lottery company which he wanted to get
cashed.
They went t. an office. but Northey can
not for the life of him describe its loca-
ton. His friend threw the check on the
counter and $3.50 was passed over to him.
At the same time the man behind the
counter mildly suggested that he would
perhaps win another $50 as drawing
would begin in few minutes.
The game began and NOrthey, who did
not ike to see his friend going it alone,
was easily persuaded to try his luck also.
His friend soon lost his $780, but fortune
was tickle with Northev as he sometimes
drew The lucky number, but oftener he
lost till finally he had given up the $25 he
had in his pockets and the certificate of de-
post for $500, which he mad indorsed.
His friend led him from the Office making
pretext of curslng bis luck and lost him
in the crowd.
1t dawned upon Northey that he had
been the victim of bunkO-steerers, so he
told his story to Captain Lees. The Cap
tain Immediately telephoned TO the bank
and found that the certificate had been
presented for payment, but the teller had
refused to hand over the amount, as the
man presenting 1t did not resemble
Northey. Besides, NOr;hey's name in the
body of the Certificate was not spelled the
same in the Endorsement, through mis-
take of the deposit clerk, aOd the teller
wanted to find out which was the correct
name, but the man could not tell him.
The certificate will, no doubt, be pre-
sented at some other bank In or out of the
city, and Captain Lees advises the bank
people TO hold the certificate and detain
the man presenting it till he is handed
over into the custody of the police.
The certificate is dated January 8, 1896,
No. 1917, issued to Lanson Northey by the
American Bank and Trust Company of
San Francisco.

cradle interest to hearing the first concert

Near Jr., Miss Gruenhagen. Miss Clare
Van Wyck, Miss Knox. Miss McClatchey.

DR.. Powers, Miss Eloise Davis, Mrs. Won
Trsshore. Miss Fisher. Miss Bessie Ames.

Younger, Miss Marie Dillon. Miss Anne
Clark.
The following gentlemen will officate as
ushers: George de Long, Charles Fernald,

dame who lived In those remote ages,
and wore these dresses. She survived to a
great age, and often talked Of the events

of more recent date, and is now brought to
such perfection that it requires good Judge

Postmaster Castle yesterday received
from Washington city the new sched-
ule of salaries Of employees in the
postoffice here for the ensuing year.
The schedule is revised every year in
July, and Capt Castle, instead of ask

that the salaries of old and faithful
employees be advanced from the in
creased revenues Of the Office. The
suggestion evidently had a good eff
feet. and several ot the clerks are
tickled to the extent of from S10O to
$500 a year, advances varying this
much in amount having been made in
their salaries. The minimum salary
in the Office now is $500. Following are
the principal advances. o. H. Ne

AS some parties have been to see
Mrs. Wheeler and made the statements
that no efforts were being made to re-
cover the body of her husband, in case
he should have been drowned, Charles
H. Vorck called at the G l o b e office
last night to say that such statements
were untrue. He had been at Forest
Lake all day yesterday and had hired
five men to carefully drag the lake.
These five men were assisted by five
guests of the hotel, and every effort
was made to secure the body. But
nothing had been found up to a late
hour last night and Mr.. Vorck also
stated that the amount of the transfer
of the real estate was to be $3.50, and
that in the clothing of the missing
man he found a note signed by one
Smith for that sum, running thirty
days and drawn in favor of Wheeler.
