Dispute OF Forty Years Settled.

OAKLAND, Cal, July 1S.-Superior
Judge Ogden has rendered a decision in
favor of the city in its case against the
Water Front company, otherwise the
Southern Pacific railroad, involving the
title to IL miles of water front, valued at
many millions Of dollars, which had been
practically in dispute for 40 years. The
court holds that the water company had
no title to the land, but that the city can
not take possession of the wharves built
by the railroad company without paying
for the improyements

Readers of Harper's Magazine
will recall ''The Little Room" as one
of the most interesting and tantaliz-
ing of the years short stories. 1t is
republished in quaint, dainty vol
ume with five other weird, remote
little tales by Mrs. Wynne. One Of
the stories purports to be sequel
to 1.-The Little Room" but it
does not succeed in illumining a mys-
terry which is on the whole too fas-
cinating to dispel.

In view of the interest that the
question of the laureateship is eX-
citing just now, the appearance of
''The Laureates Of England" is es-
pecially timely and appropriate. The
book is gotten up with the daintiness
customarily used by the Messrs.
Stokes in their poetical publications
and contains the essay upon "The
Origin and Significance of the En-
glish Laureateship," which original
1y appeared in the Century; a brief
biography with portrait and critical
estimate of each laureate, followed
by selections from his work, which
are chosen with admirable taste.

Notes.

J. M. Barrie was four years writing
the serial Sentimental Tommy"
which is begun in the January Scrib-
per. The scene of the tale moves from
the East End of London to Thrums, -
A story in the Bachelor OF Arts
offers a suggestion to 1mpecunlous
but popular young men. The nero dls-
poses of his superfiuous gifts to a
burglar from the Bowery for SUD-
stantial sum, which he invests in twenty
bottles of cologne to distribute as hol1-
day tokens.
The Philistine for the month contains
an admirable sonnet by Mr.. Bragdon
and an item of information which Will
set the mind of a curious public at
ease. 1t is to the effect that the title
of 1.-The Black Cat'-the new Boston
magazine of short stories-has refer
ence to it's connection with the
Mewses.
"Ev'ry Month" is a clever journal,
but like many clever things it is at
times obscure. What, for instance, is
its attitude toward the poster? Does
it's editor deliberately select the worst
ones he can find for reproduction, or is
his choice the result of ignorance
rather than a vindictive spirit?
The Vermont home of Rudyard Kip
ling, of which we give a cut this week,
is rather an unique wooden structure,
ninety feet long by tWenty-three wide.
A single tier Of eleven rooms faces the
highway, while the large hall at their
back contains the only entrance door.
Mr.. Kipling's study is at one end of
the tier of rooms and Mrs. Kipling'
sewing room at the other end.

"Kyzie Dunlee" is book about
little Prudy's eldest daughter and
her small sisters who are as interest
ing and as mischievous, and will ap-
peal as strongly to the children of
the present day as their mother did
to the children of some thirty years
ago.
"The Lottery Ticket" is one of J.
T. Trowbridge's wholesome, interest
ing and ever-popular books for
boys. 1t has been enlarged by the
addition of several chapters since its
appearance in "The Youths Com
panion."
Little Daughter" is one Of the
Hazelwood stories, and relates some
pleasant scenes in the everyday life
of a nice little girl. Older readers
may object, however, to the implica-
ton that if nice little girls pray for
ex-reprobate uncles the latter are
likely to die leaving large fortunes
to their young intercessors.

In spite of the fact that these are
the days of many published menus, it
is a rare thing to find really tasteful
and appetizing combinations of food
in print. In "Some Simple Sunday
Suppers" Mrs. Snapp has compiled
very helpful little volume of sug-
gestions and recipes for those who
gather their friends around them on
Sunday evenings and wish to offer
by way Of hospitality a simple but
attractive meal, most Of which can

purpose Of simplicity is closely ad-

churches, the choir is the only avail

rare instances, these form no part of

Italy is the goal of all singers, and
its very mention suggests maestros,
arias and operas, as well as azure
skies and long, dreamy, sunny days.
Few travellers visit the land of song
without paying tri'gIte to it by some
work, either musical or literary, which
is dedicated to lovely Florence, 1.-The
lily of the Arno," or fair Venice,
the pearl of the Adriatic. A recent
book of this sort is that recently pub
lished by Francis Walker, under the
title of Letters of a Baritone" a
series of epistles supposedly written
to the home friends, while he was
music student in Italy. He presents
an ideal land, full Of flowers and
music, the realization of the imag1na-
tion's fondest dream. Touched by his
graceful pen, Florence, with her an
cient palaces and beautiful gardens,
and Venice, with her liquid streets
spanned by quaint bridges, on either
side a palace or prison, seem to live
again in all their splendor, and seem
repeopled with the brilliant courtiers
and noble ladies of old. From a musl-
cal standpoint he sees Italy as 1t is,
and writes his letters that they may
be of service to those who come to
this fair land to study in the future.
He saws: 81 have aimed to be fair IN
my description of Italy as land to-
wards which students of singing
should continue to direct their steps.
I am always grateful for what that

"The Treasures of Weinsburg and
Other Poems," by David William Nc
Court, of st. Paul, is a daintily bound
little volume of smoothly written
verse. The author has a sensitive ear
for rythm, and keen sense of humor.
The poem which gives title to the vol.
ume is founded on the familiar legend:
of the women of Weinsburg, who were
permitted to bear on their backs out
of the surrendered city their dearest
treasures, and who saved in this way
the lives of their husbands and tfa tn Z,
ers. The general reader will probably
prefer Mr.. McCourt's "Wayside'
Waifs," which are very amusing bits
of verse.
