Dorothy and Other Italian Stories by
Constance Fenimore Woolson. illustrate
ed. Every line from Miss Woolson's pen,
now that she is with US no longer, IS
cherished by discriminating readers; and
justly SO, for she was one of our most sat
istaotory novelists and is greatly missed
in current literature
The present volume has five stories in
It's table OF contents: Dorothy A Trans
planted Boy; A Florentine Experiment;
A Waitress; and AT the Chateau of Cor
lnDe. The reviewer thought ne could
absorb these little tales by reading here
bit and there a bit, but ended by perus-
ing every word of every page.
Americans living, lingering or soiourn-
ing in Italy are here portrayed; and the
atmosphere is fascinating. Quite as
much so is the study of character which
dips beyond the surface in psychologist in.
trospection. Particularly interesting is
the phenomena of a mans telling a wom-
an that he believes her to be in love
With him. After thai look out for clouds,
which however finally scatter to let loves
sunshine through. Concerning Amerl-
cans abroad, thu author says, IA meri-
cans who have stayed in this way for
twenty years or more are heard remarking
in solemn tones, In case die over here
am to be taken home to my own coun-
try for burial; nothing less could content

ably soothes the conscience. - New

A Bad Lot A novel by Mrs. Lovett
Cameron, author of In Grass Country,
etc., was popular novel in its more per-
manent binding and is now issued in
paper. 1t details with good deal of
spirit and reality the varied experiences
of a young girl in London whose love
affairs were certainly far from smooth
and easy of progress. The story is oom-
pletely and rather patiently manufac-
tued, but if sensational it also has good
points. Granny" WAS endowed with
shrewd common sense though she won
deServedly the reputation of an old har-
ridan, whose moral perceptions were
hardly of the keenest. The girls are
wide-awake and natural, and if various
antique stage prop srties pertaining to
the love story par excellence could have
been dispensed with, A Bad Lot would
have been very good lot. (Philadel-

CHICAGO 1IARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 8. Columbian Building.
CHICAGO, May THE working of two
cargoes of wheat here today for ship
ment to Toledo turned weak market
into a strong one. Cash wheat in that
market has brought prices over
Chicago, and the freight not
leaves Il good margin of profit. It is
said that Toledo has sold about all its
stock of wheat and is compelled to come
to Chicago for supplies. At the rate De-
troit and Toledo have been shipping
since the opening of navigation they will
soon be cleaned out altogether. A New
York exporting house reports 10000
bushels worked there for Berlin, which
market was 2 marks higher today on &C
count of drouth. A renewal of the cash
demand for wheat will probably start the
market up again and it may go higher
than before. Bradstreets reports a de-
crease in the worlds visible of more than
four I-lilIions. The Kansas crop report
is very bad and suggests a reduction of
condition by the government on the 10th.
Corn and Oats-Corn weakened slight
ly at one time but has been strong most
of the session, and at the close looks like
going higher on the excellent shipping
demand. Oats firm and higher.
The demand for cash wheat today has
been narrowed the difference between
May and July to PC. 1t is said Mon
treal houses have bought in Toledo
double the wheat in store there and the
wheat going there is for shorts.
Provisions dull and featureless all day
until near the close when they tirmed up
somewhat in sympathy with grain. They
were quite weak at one time with longs
liquidating freely. 1t looks as if the
longs had about all taken profits on pork
and we predict a good advance.

BULL KILLED THE LION.
A Fierce and Brutal Fight in Which the

A Fierce and Brutal Fight in Which the
Man Eating "Parnen'' Dies.
NEW YORK, May IA special to the
World from Monterey, Mexico, says:
Parnell, the man. eating lion was killed
here in the bull ring last night by a
Mexican bull. The contest between the
bull and the lion was witnessed by 1000
people. 1t was a thoroughly brutal
affair.
Parnell fought bull here two weeks
ago, getting rather the worst of the bat
tie. Last night, instead of meeting the
bull in its first mad dash, as it was ex-
pected he would, he turned to one side
and avoided him again and again. The
bull continued on the offensive. but the
lion never returned the attack except
when the closeness of the combat was
such that he could not avoid it.
Twice he made vicious grabs at the
bulls nose, SC that it was streaming with
blood though the blood was due in part
to the bull dashing his nose on the ground
in attempts to get his horns low enough
to toss his adversary.
The one-sided combat lasted one hour.
The lions injuries must have been in :
ternal, as. Notwithstanding the terrible
tossing he received his tough hide did
not seem to have been punctured by the
BULBS horns.
Col. Boone, the owner, has received a
Number of offers for ParnelPs hide but it
is probable that a local official of Mon
terey will stuff and preserve it.
Parnell is the we'll known lion that
killed his keeper at the Mid Winter fair
in San Francisco, and who recently
caused the death of the trainer, George
Cooke, in Laredo.
