THE CITY OF REFUGE-Bv Sir Walter Be-
SAINT. Frederick A. stokes Company, New YORK
and London. Price S. 90 For sale by the EN-
porium Book Department.
Here is another good story from the prolific
pen of Sir Walter Besant. 1t is we'll illus trated
by F. s. Wilson. On the cover is the symbol
OF folded wings surmounted by a crown with
the motto "Pax." Gil bert, one of the charac-
ters we are introduced to, has the singular
power of making every woman who is not
especially mean his friend in an exceedingly
short space of time. He was man who could
in all seriousness make up his mind to kill a
man in order to give freedom to woman
whom he has reverence for. When he meets
his intended victim he Is willing to give the
man fair chance for his life and so they have
an ordeal by cards. They lay a revolver be-
fore them on the table and play cards for the
possession of 1t. Whoever wins is to take the
weapon and kill the other. Gilbert wins, but
his heart forbids the murder, and he hands
the pistol to his adversary. Gilbert's lady
friend is freed soon after by the suicide OF her
husband.
Here is picture of the woman which gives
sample of the authors descriptive power:
ga tall and handsome woman; something
reginal in her appearance; woman born for
authority and high place. Her neck looked g
if diamonds would grace it; her hair looked
as If il wanted the CLEAN of coronet; upon
her shoulders lay the queenly drapery of
costly lace. In Tudor days they would have
written poetry about the sunlig ht in her eyes
ana the tangles of her hair and the binding
splendor of her face"

MU SIl'S POWER.

A MATTER OF TEMPERAMENT-By Ed
ward IrenRus Stevenson. American Pub
lishers' Corporation, New York Price ST.
This book deals with the problem of the re-
lation of music to morals. Love, music and
the stage all take part in the prod of
great moral tragedy. The time is the middle
of the nineteenth century. when the great sue
cess of Meyerbeer was having so much infiu-
ence on composers. Meyerbeer himself is a
part of the story.
The book is study of grave impeachment
of music, as also directly and indirectly
against its exponents. There is no doubt
about the good influences of music in the
earth. 1t rouses religious feeling sometimes
where no words could do any benefit. Again,
some kinds of it stir up high resolves to do
arduous and dangerous duties. But it seems
that there is a bad side to it as we'll The
claim is made that there is music which with
out words excites the baser possibilities OF the
human heart. Also there is sort OF intoxica-
ton in it which should be avoided as excess
OF the wine cup. The rousing of immoderate
emotion results in weakness. Its powers for
good and evil should be closely studied as a
moral question by those who teach il and by
those who move men "with concord of sweet
souuds.n

William Doxey, Paiace Hotel, City.
This little book con tains about half a dozen
very reasonable short stories. 1t can be guar
anteed to drive away melancholy. The first
tale in the collection, which gives its name to
the book, is alone worth the price to those who
like to laugh. 1t tells of Mrs. Tours, widow
who Was lady OF shy demeanor and uncer-
tain aspirates and forty-six summers. She
considers herself second Helen of Troy as a
disturber of masculine hearts. She was more
honorable than Helen, however, and eonse-
quently imagined that she was driving men
distracted with her beauty, SO unreachably
starlike. She keeps a lodging house for single
gentlemen, and her descriptions of how they
all fall in love with her, and with what decor
Gus prudence she behaves under the various
exciting ordeals, are smile-makers of rare
sort.
Her friends did not like her taking lodgers-
''they would ave II that the military COM
promised me by their marked attentions" She
sends the poor men quite out OF their senses
with her sweet face, but she comprehends they
are not responsible Tor what they rashiy do
when thus bewildered by her beauty, and has

TAME SURRENDER-By Captain Charles
King, q. s. A. ]. B. Lippinoott Company, hill
adelphia: price rs cents. For sale by Joseph A.
Hofmann, City.
Here is another of the many good military
stories by Captain King. 1t tells of the
troublous times of the great Chicago strike
and riot, but the title of the book has refer
ence not to the quick quelling of that mob,
but to the capture of girls heart. This cap
ture was not effected speedily, nor was the
heroine very tame that made the surrender at
last. When this happened she was under the
mistletoe and he said: "If it were only. Christ
mas time again I'd claim the privilege of the
mistletoe." Her capitulation was couched in
these terms: sis it potent only at Christmas?"
One OF the good things in the book is where
the Incidents described of the regular troops
sternly repressing all temptation to use their
bayonets or bullets on a disobedient and jeer-
ing crowd, but nevertheless triumphantly
conqucring by ge tting the hose in readiness to
cool off the crowd and clear the space with
water. The splendid discipline of the regulars
in the face OF most exasperating insults is told
in q way to excite our admiration for the men
who guard property against mob violence.
