The Novelist's Mission in Behalf

 Friendship with RossettI
COPYRIGHT. 1895.

The arrival of Mr T. Hall Gaine, as the agent of English authors, to the Canadian government in behalf of in- ternational copyright is matter of general interest to the authors and reading public of tho United States His mission is a couciliatory one, and it is hoped that with his aid better understanding may be reached be- tween the publishers of the United States and Canada, who are now some what divided in their views as to the copyright relations of these countries and Great Britain. Certainly if the radical views of some Canadian pub fishers are carried out the far-reaching and beneficial results of the copyright bill of 1891 will be neutralized and many millions of capital in the United States and England invested in the publishing business will be directly af- fected, to say nothing of the authors of both countries.
 As one of the leading novelists of Great Britain, MT Caine deserves more than passing notice. His best work has been done in strong reaction against the realistic school represented by zola and Turgenieff. He is never weary of attacking the realistic novel ists of the day, and of claiming fore most place in the literary world for the romantic novel
 He belongs to new school of novel list that has risen in the last three years, and whose success is phenom- enal. The most successful authors of the day are going back to the old foun- tains of romanticism for their inspira- tions. The purpose, novel, the real istic novel, the "medical'' novel are all giving way to the romantic revival.
 No estimate of Mir. Gaines character would be worth much that did not lay special stress on his strong personality
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-09-29

his belief in himsel d his faith in the mission to which he has dedicated his best energies. He shares Rusllin's idea, that authors must be exemplary men before they can write well.
 MT. Caine is about forty-fve years of age. Photographs indicate that he looks like Shakespeare, and in th6sa@re- head this resemblance is striking. He is of nervous temperament. As he does some of his best work after mid night, it naturally tells on his health Mr. Caine was born in Runcorn, in Cheshire, in 1858. His father was a Manxman, and to him he owes his inn pulsiveness, his deep religious fervor, his enthusiasm, and his love of romance
 He began his career as an architect in Liverpool, England, and his earliest literary efforts consisted of contribu- tions to the Builder, the Building News and the Liverpool Mercury.
 At the beginning of his literary ca reer he formed an intimate friendship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, which only ended with the poets death in 1892 Mir. Gaines 'Recollections of Rossetti, :" published shortly after Rossetti's death, has borne eloquent testimony to the influence Rossetti exercised over him.
 No man has done more for English literature than Rossetti. If his ballad of Blessed Damosel" is not the best in the language, it is surpassed by no poem in spiritual insight. In his bal lads. and still more in his sonnets, Ros- setti shows himself great artist. His work in literature and art is plea for higher and nobler life-for greater freedom-for the spiritual as the con trolling force over the intellectual. rather than the brutal
 His admirers are among people well educated enough to revolt against the oppressive tendencies of the merely brutal intellect.
 It is interesting to note the obvious good Mir. Calne received from Rossetti's influence. At tue beginning of their friendship Mir. Caine was trying his wings as poet, but when his friend convinced him that he saw great pos abilities for him in the fervid and inn passioned prose" (extract from letter l from Rossetti to Mr Caine), he began that series of novels by which his fame 1 must stand or fall.
 His first book was "Sonnets of Three Centuries" followed the next year by ssCobwebs of Criticism" In his third book, Shadows of a Crime" and his next, "A Son of Hagar." he first struck the note he subsequently, developed | with greater richness and power in "The Deemster," ''The Bondsman, " ssThe Scapegoata and 'sThe Manxman. Rostettis own words well describe 1 the series, achievements of fervid and

impassioned prose-" To appreciate his methods he must be taken on his own terms-or not at all. He is writer one likes very much-or else, not at all. He inspires no mild sentiments.
 "Not life as it is-but life as 1t might be, 3 is the keynote of his gospel With him it is not the domination of fact, but of feeling. The reader who ex- poets an analysis of the complex emo tion of our modern social life will lay his books down with a sense of dis appointment. The old motives Of love, jealousy, hatred and revenge-in their primary clements, unmixed by any subtle shades of feeling or emotion are sufficient to Mir. Caine.
 While he thoroughly detests Zola's realism, he is scarcely less contemptu- ous of the tea-cup realism of some English and American noYclists, and Mir Howell's dictum that: All the stories are told" He makes the ob- jeetion good by telling his own stories with a rush of movement and imagina- tive power that have few equals in lit erature
 He writes vividly and pieturesquely limiting himself to a plain Saxon vo- cabulary He believes in the superior ity of short sentences He makes ex- orbitant demands on his readers cred ulty, and his impassioned style some times seems too persistent His great est fault. whether the subject be great or small, is that he is always lon the heights" Or, as Mrs. Oscar Wilde ab- ruptly expresses it, always writes at the top of his voice." We forgive him this, though, for his consistency-he is never guilty of reaction in the oppo- site extreme.
 Mir. Caine has come forward as q dramatist on three occasions, In col Liberation withahis friend, Mir. Wilson l.. Barrett, he has dramatized '.The Deemstern and 1.-The Manxman.n and Mr. Wilson Barrett is now using the latter play in his repertoire. It is present day version of that old story David, Bathsheba and Uriah. It is not a novel only but a sermon on the text: What shall it profit man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?n The religious influence of the book is skillfully concealed. As in the Scriptur- al legend the tragedy has three vic.

 wealth and influence, are known to have some object of the sort in view. Bishop Porter himself is very averse to the idea and the rumors in circulation have led to the formation of re- actionary movement. This may result in the complete defeat of the elaborate scheme for a revolution in American Episeopalianism. The situation has grown rather tense, and well-known New York banker, to whom the high churchmen are indebted for financial support, has been special object of attack. He is accused of being an ob- struction to the rays of the light of grace, and somewhat virulent pamph- let dealing with this aspect of the situ ation is in circulation. The wealthy Episcopalians are collectively opposed to the poorer ones in this matter. Hence the change that the church IS to be pIutoerised. This is a new crime in church affairs and the proceedings of the house of bishops at their coming session will be eagerly watched.

The Astors have just such another affair on hand in which, it is asserted, the plutoeratic pair will ap- pear as eggs and every guest will as sume some character of an agricultural nature This species of festivity is called natives ball, and proved very popular when introduced into Newport this autumn. The Belmont brothers are to make the ''plunges' of their lives this winter, it further transpires, and the Iselins will keep them com pany. From every point of view the social festival of the winter to come will eclipse anything of the kind seen in New York for many years. There will be titles galore, and as various weddings among the plutocracy also occur between now and December, matters are destined to be animated in deed. DAVID WEcHsLER.

Row Andy DeInaes Ills Bees.

There is a certain region near Par kersburg, in West Virginia, where the soil is so impregnated with natural gas that every tree sucks it from the soil through it's woody pores. This was ac- eidentally discovered by Andy Kalmain, an old bee hunter, who, while using a torch to smoke some bees out of hol- low tree, set fire to the exuding gas, and paid for his discovery by the loss of his eyelashes and mustache. The dis covery has been utilized during the past season by Kalmain and his neigh bors, who, by lighting trees about their clover patches, have succeeded in de- luding their bees into believing that the summer day was a month long, and into working steadily for twenty-four hours against the night that did not come

An Italian Thief's shrewdness.

An Italian newspaper is responsible for the following tale of thiefs shrewdness: A certain lazzarone once came to confess himself to missionary priest who was confined to his bed with the gout, with the intention of stealing q pair of new shoes which he had seen under the good fathers bed. The priest having called him up to the bed, as he could not rise, the man knelt down, and while reciting theeonfteor he got hold of the shoes and put them into the wal let which he had under his cloak. Hav- ing finished the confteor, the first and last sin which he confessed was that of having stolen pair of shoes. The con- lessor replied: s'Ah! my son, you ought torestore them" The penitent replied: s.Father, do you want them?" No, " said the priest; mo, my son; but they ought to be restored to the rightful owner; otherwise cannot give you ab- solution" "But, father" replied the man. '.the owner says he does not want them. What, then, shall l do?" The confessor answered: "Since thai is so, keep them for yourself" And, giving him absolution, he dismissed him, and the penitent carried off the shoes.

There is large fortune wagered in New York on the result Corbett's fist in particular is an object of general study. That ample specimen of anat- omy is developing amazingly and seems destined to fill the place in hls- tory so long allotted to Mir. John L.. Sullivan right on the limbs of Her cules. Mir. Corbett playfully alludes to his fist as the finger of seorn, and deems it much more powerful than that metaphorical digit. No one seems to reckon any longer with the possibility that the fight may not come off. At any rate it will be the most even con- test since Corbett became champion. It is noteworthy that the fight attracts as much attention in the fashionable club of Fifth avenue as it does on the Bow cry. Many men of social position have put up snug sums on the outcome.

tion is not to be swerved from his pc sition. This act is destined to be very important one in the coming elections. Mr. Platt favors 'dryn Sunday. Many assertions may be made to the con- trary, but there is no getting over the fact. As for the numerous associations which are founded for the purpose of drinking liquor on the Sabbath and go under the name of clubs, Mir. Platt is in favor of special legislation to wipe them out. Indeed, the gentleman from Tioga has decidedly radical view of the iiq- uor question and seems to have been converted to it largely from motives of policy. He feels convinced that the people of the metropolis want the Sum day dry" One day in the week is not too great period to refrain from In- dulgenee in alcoholic liquors. The matter has national importance, for it is deemed certain that the other cities of the land will follow the example set by New York in solving the question of the sale of liquor on Sundays.

 In 1890 he wrote the play of 'Ma- homet," but owing to religious objec- tions it is still awaiting production. In ''The Manxman, "The Deemster," and "The Bondman" he has used the Isle of Man as his bacl1ground-Moroceo pro- vided inspiration for "rhe Scape- goat" and it is an open secret that Russia is likely to be the background of his next novel.
 MT. Caine resides for the greater part of the year in the lake district. His house is near Kewick, and he divides his time between this home and his re- treat on the Isle of Man-Greha castle where he passes some enviable days with his sister. And, by the way, this sister, Miss Lily Hall Caine, is making quite a reputation as a comedy actress in England.
 In January, 1891, Mr. Caine lectured at the Royal institute on ''The Little ManX Nation" He has recently discov- cred an ancient Manx ballad. whose story is that of the phantom ship, and has turned it into English. It will soon appear, bearing the title s'Grain My Chree' dove of my heart).
 It is understood that a number of en- tertainments in honor of Mr. Caine are contemplated by friends and admirers in New York and Montreal The length of his visit is not yet determined.

The Tramp He Bunked with Turned Gus
 Millionaire.
 Rudyard Kipling tells the following interesting story of his early days. He was poor and at the same time wanted to see California. He also desired some profitable employment. He found him. self in Lower California penniless. Illuminating on his misfortunes he came across q fellow sufferer. This second victim to the unkindness of fate was past middle age, il dressed and un- couth.
 Apart from fellow feeling they took to each other. They decided to tramp to San Francisco, where Kipling had possible financial resources. They got there somehow. Kipling found his companion taciturn and cold. One day the silent one fell into muddy creek. On landing he began to take off his trousers-a very wretched, sagged pair. To Kipling's surprise q second pair, thin, well cut and comparatively new, were disclosed beneath the old ones. Kipling came to the conclusion that he had stolen them, and began to regret having agreed to travel with him.
 Arrived at San Francisco, Kipling said: "Where are you going?' ITO the wharf" was the reply "Ill go with you to the wharf said Kipling. At the wharf there was q neat boat with half q dozen sailors ''fooling about. ! The moment they saw Kipling's com panion in his ragged coat and slouch hat they sprang to their feet and sa- T T.s. . got in. s"Shove off The captain of the boat showed off. The men bent their backs to the oars. In few min utes they were alongside a spicl1-and- span yacht, trim and tight as Yankee schooner carrying an admirals flag.
 Kipling's friend was well-known millionaire, who enjoys a walking tour and delights to study mankind from q tramp's point of view.-P Philadelphia Press.
