The rather poetical title of Mr. Ingle' :
volume exactly expresses what il is: at
The same time II also masks to a Ger

with consummate skill and sense OF
proportion within its comparatively
small compass, Readers of Green :

might perhaps say also McMaster' 5

with the method which Mr.. Ingie en-
ploys in~relating his story. He gathers
from contemporary magazine and news
paper articles. from public documents.
from private letters, every aVaiia Bile
testimony in regard to the particular
state Of society or politics which he is
DESTROYS of presenting and picturing.
These he skillfully works into a sort of
mosaic. blending them in such a way
as to allow complementary coIors to
form harmonious and truthful
picture. His own comments, which
give every impression of fairness and
candor. are the unifying principle
which runs through the whole.
After defining what he means by the
turn the following topics: l. Traits of
the People. II. Where Cotton was
Ruler. III. Phases of Industry. ".
Trade and Commerce. V. The E,duca-

The Peculiar Institution, and TX The

Carefully selected and weighed
statistics give authority to his eonelu-
sions. but the grace of his style and
the absorbing fascination of the picture
will be found abundantly to justify the
title.
Naturally his treatment of the Sla-

ton and undoubtedly cause discussion
but there will be few to pick flaws in
his arguments.
The book is most important con-

Verdict of Arson in the Second De
Aprninsf

Verdict of Arson in the Second De-
gree Against the Clergyman.
The jury in the case of Rev. John Fttz-
gerald, the Charlotte priest, charged with
arson, last night, at Rochester, NJ Y,
brought in a verdict Of guilty in the second
degree.
Father Fitzgerald has been the head of
the Church at Charlotte for many years.
He has also been successful in accommodating
stores in the village, but by his present
trouble he has become financially embar-
rassed. For the past eight or ten years
there have been many mysterious fires In the
village, the origin Of which could never be
ascertaiDed, but it was a noticeable fact
that in many instances the property was
that of Father Fitzgerald, and that there
was always an abundant insurance Only
within the last year or two had suspicion
been aroused duplicating Father Fitzgerald.
burned under suspicious circumstances.
Father Fitzgerald was by design out of
town that night, but a telegram sent by him
to Nora Cronin, his servant, aroused sus-
picion and watch was placed on the build
ing.
AS a result Nora Cronin and her brother.
John Crcnin, were arrested, charged with
setting the building on fire, and Father
Fitzgerald with instigating the crime The
building had been heavily insured but few
days previous. John Cronin was tried and
sentence in Auburn prison. His sister Nora
is under indictment, and her trial will be
moved Immediately after the sentence of
Father Fitzgerald.

REMOVING THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Representative Barrett's Suggestion
for a COmmiss ssion.

Representative Barretts Suggestion
for n Commission.
Representative Barrett of Massachusetts,
will introduce bill In the House of Repre-
sentatives for the appointment of COM
mission of naval experts to select and re-
port a suitable location for the United States
Naval Academy. now situated at Annapolis.
Under suspension of the rules the Mary
land senate yesterday passed joint resolu-
ton, reciting, that, as the state of MARYLAND
had ceded to the general government for the
use OF the Naval Academy valuable prop
erty, including the historical executive man
son of the state, upon the representation
OF the federal government that the property
is to be used for the purposes of the Naval
Academy, any removal of the academy
would be breach of good faith to the state
Maryland's representatives in both branches
OF Congress were requested to oppose the
removal proposed.
Naval Academy people do not believe
there is necessity for removing the acad-
emy to another location, as suggested by
Representative Barrett. Capt. p H. Cooper
superintendent of the Naval Academy and
Medical Director Walton both say the To-
cation is healthy, and that there is no cause
Tor alarm from sanitary point of view.
Captain Cooper who has been in command
about year, has found the academy very
healthy place, and Medical Director Walton
says the death rate is small, there being ONLY
four deaths in three years.
Ihe comparison with other stations in the
navy, according to the report of Medical
Director Walton, is in favor of the Naval
Academy, as far as health statistics go.
During his ten years at the hospital DIR.
Walton says he has never known a case of
typhoid fever to originate in the academy.

petition is being circulated, which will
be sent to the Commissioners, asking for
the extension Of Prospect avenue through
to the Conduit road. In view of the fact
That the street extension plans have been

move, as the District owns the right of way
for the extension of Prospect avenue Upon
the completion of the new union depot the
