garish and coarse minded, rich widow,
charming girl compelled to occupy tho
place of companion to the former, man
of the world with past, who reforms, a

story which is filled in compactly with
all the stage accessories Of inheritances
misplaced and replaced, titles and lands
unexpectedly falling into the right hands,
and relationships emerging from OBJ
SQUIRE sources only to prove delightfully."-
complete and desirable. The story be-
longs to the class which employs sensa-
ton freely and gives to sentiment an off,
hand familiarity Of treatment. These at
tributes are modified by ease of writing
and certain facility of reproducing
wildly scenes and persons in whatever

Gen. Weylsr has now come to the con-
clusion that it will take two years longer
to pacify Cuba. When no set out from
Spain he jauntily predicted that he
would settle the rebellion before the next
rainy season opened, but the rainy
season is here, yellow fever and all, and
not single province is yet safe from
insurgent raids. Two years more of
campaigning means a terrible drain on
the Spanish treasury, with consequent
grinding taxation, and frightful loss of
life among the young men and boys who
are sent out from the mother country.
And even if the rebellion is subdued at
the end of that time it will not stay SUBJ
dued. AS long as Spain treats Cuba as
all orange to be squeezed for her benefit
she will have rebellions on her hands.
There may be brief periods of peace
but it will be the peace of exhaustion,
to be surely followed when strength re-
turns by new rebellious outbreaks.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

When Greek Meets Greek. Tale of Love
and War by Joseph Hatton, author of
'fBy Order of the Gar" etc., etc. Illus
trated by B. West Clinedinst. This
novel devotes no space to preface or intro
duction but plunges at once into the
French Revolution in its earlier phase,
that of about she year 1889. 1t is reada-
BILE because it has movement and is full
of dramatic action and has to do with
tragic events. There is plenty of plot to
present nor does the presentation ever flag
in dash and spirit. An American returns
with Lafayette to France and becomes
clerk to one OF the deputies, a revolution
ist. This Deputy is the illegitimate
brother of Count Fournier, himself a
Royalist. A mere hint after this fashion,
gives no idea of the political and family
complications which surround the'leadinR
actors in the turbulent scenes in which
this romance neoess arily abounds. OF
no analysis, given to bold statement and
defying probabilities, "When Greek Meets
Greek" will nevertheless, and rightly.
too, prove satisfying and exciting to a
large class of readers. philadelphia: J.

titled Golden Gwendolyn'' and
Judith" The former bases it's plot
upon the much used continuance of false
accusation of insanity. In this case it Is
brought against young girl in order to
shield her guardian from exposure since
of her fortune. Hypnotism is employed
against the unfortunate girl but unsuc-
cessfully. Her faithful lover and friends
remain convinced of her sanity. The
tone of the story Is very gushing and
vibrates between demonstrations of affec-
ton and a rather stilted severity. 1t is a
book likely to attract young readers who
want great deal of romance and danger
in love to play upon their sensibilitles
and it is pity the matter of principle
as regards the criminal cruelty and in
trigue entered into by the heroine's guar
dian should be SO lightly estimated, at
the close. judith. The Money Lenders
Daughter" is a type of story less common
among us now than formerly. Here also
we have threats and assault upon those
who serve as obstacles in the paths of the
reckless and over bearing. A strong ele
ment of orthodox religion enters into the
story which as whole is neither natural
nor improving, since it's spiritual instruo-
tion seems so detached from the daily hap
pening of the little group with which the
reader makes acquaintance. Cloth books.

The claim of Mr.. McKinley's boomers
that he will be nominated by reclamation
is probably not believed by themselves.
To claim everything has been their pro-
gramme from the start and the motive of
it was to attract the vote that is always
looking for the winning side. II Mr.
Mckinley is nominated at St. Louis it
will be because more votes are polled for
him than for all the other candidates
combined. He will not be hurrahed into
the nomination. The convention is go
ing to be deliberate body, alive to the
seriousness of the business it will have
in hand and conscious that a mistake
may prove fatal to Republican expecta-
tions OF carrying the next election.

Immediately after the Jameson raid
upon the TransVaal Sir Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary for the colonies, declared
that if the completely of the Rhodes oom-
pany could be shown, a demand for the
repeal of the charter would be likely to
get favorable consideration. President
Kruger by means Of the documents found
on Jameson when he was caught has
proved beyond all possibility of refuta-
tin, that not only was the Rhodes Com
pany implicated in the raid but that it
was the head and front of the whole
affair. A demand for the repeal of the
oompany's charter would now seem to
be in order.

Desperate Remedies, the first long story
written by Thomas Hardy, now appears
in the uniform edition of his novels put
forth by the Harpers, and to be found in
Portland at Loring, Short & Harmon's.
In the prefacs to this volume of the
standard edition-dated February 1886
the author takes occasion to say "that
certain characteristics which provoked
most DISCUSSION in my latest story were
present in this my frst-published in
1871, when there was no French name
for thenl." This truth is familiar to all
readers of Hardy at any rate to al,
students of him. But, in the early story
he treated the perplexlng problem with a
delioaoy and reserve abandoned in the
later. Desperate Remedies" is clean,
clear, and entertaining. "Jude'' is
coarse, dull and Obscure" despite the
beautiful English in which it is WRITER n.

The discovery of the completely of Sir
Cecil Rhodes in the Transvaal raid, and
the revulsion of Sc ntiment caused in Lon
don Thereby, BODIES no good to DR.. "Jim'
who is now on trial in London. When
DR.. Jim" arrived In the metropolis
hs was welcomed much as conquering
hero would be, and though he was pnt
upon his trial the proceedings againt him
were evidently regarded as somewhat far
cical and likely to end in his escape from
punishment. The sympathy of the spec
tators who watched the proceedings was
all his way. 1t is very unfortunate
for him that the trial was not
brought to close while this feeling pre-
vailed. for with the changed sentiment
may come a desire to make him a scape-
goat, as he is the easiest man to get at.

Such an Uproar in Dress Goods!

Every yard of the best fancy dress goods in the store is marked down to
 75 Cents a Yard.
 There are almost five thou sand yards---over a hundred and fifty different patterns--- dollar, dollar-and-a-quarter, dollar-and-a-half and two-dol- lar dress goods.
 Such news is enough to turn trade upside down---t the like never occurred before--- never will again, probably.
 The loss is several thou sand dollars. We are the losers, of course. Can't help it. We shall have to pay fo1 the mistake of buying toe much.
 You are the gathers, and the earliest corners are going to be the greatest gathers.
