THE WORLDS BOOKS.
All the knowledge of the World in
Thirty Volumes.
A MIGHTY MONUMENT.


A great book is a great monument.
1t enshrines the best thoughts of some
gifted man and ever carries them
along for the reverence of the ages.
The names Of the man and his book
always live together. But what shall
We say of a book that presents not
only the best work of one author, but
that of more than a thousand, and
these the master-minds of not only one
country or literature, but of all ma
lions, all times and all literatures
worthy Of the name since the world
began? Such is the scope of the work,
and only in part, that is now being
published under the title of Library
of the Worlds Best Literature" The
collection is indeed a marvellous one,
and includes all of the highest quality
in poetry, history, biography, fiction.
essay, criticism, science and philos ophy
The literature of Persia, India and
China are represented, as well as those
of England, France and America.
Every topic Of human interest, in fact,
seems to be touched on, and every
chord of the human heart is played on
by some master hand.
But these literary selections are only
one feature of the work Mr. Warner
in his great task had for associate
editors Hamilton Wright Mabie, Lucia
Gilbert Runkle and George H. War
ner, besides large corps of contribu-
tors from among the most distin-
guished of living litterateurs. These
last have furnished, each according to
his province, biographical and critical
estimates of the great writers of the
past whose works are quoted. Ac-
cOrdingly we have the genius that lives
passing judgment on the. genius that Is
gone, and the series of the critical
papers must be regarded as so many
new and sparkling literary gems.
What could be more delightful, for in
stance, than to read what Andrew
Lang can tell US about Dumas, what
William Dean Howells mas to say of
Tolstoi, or what Archdeacon Farrar
finds beautiful in the literature Of the
New Testament? There are other
features, too, but we despair of I'M
folding them all in this brief notice
There is biographical encyclopaedia
of authors whose works are not quot
ed; also a synoptical account of all
great books, poems plays and literary
curiosities. Over a thousand illustra-

MONEY WAS PAID FOR VOTES
According TO Direct Statements Made by
Detective Tiliard
Manager Van Valkenburg Prudently
Declines Further Examination and
Gives Bail-A Second Warrant
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
| POTTSVILLE. Pa, Dec. 31.-Some
startling testimony was given today at
| the preliminary hearing of f. A. Van
! Nalkenburg, who has charge of John
Wanamaker's senatorial campaign at
Harrisburg. and who was arrested last
night charged with attempting to bribe
Representative Webster G. Weiss of
| Hampton county to vote for Mr.. Wana-
maker for United States senator.
After Mr. Van Valkenburg had been
called ard pleaded not guilty, the pros
ecution called j. Tillard, who said he
was employed by the Interstate detec-
tive agency of Scranton. Tillard said
he was sent to the Wanamaker people
early in the summer to hire out to them
and then disclose all information he
could get to his superiors. He described
interviews he had with Mr. Van Valken-
burg. He said it was agreed that he was
To help the latter secure votes against

States senator He told how he had con-
spired with and induced Van Valken-
burg to give him money to bribe people
in the various parts of the state, nota-
bly, in Luzerne. showing Photographic
receipts from DR.. Mackey of Luzerne
county for $l250 and pledging him to
vote for Wanamaker. Tillard aoknowl-
edged that he had kept $50 out of the
original sum, which was $1,000. He said
it had been given him by Van Valken-
burg. The defendants counsel object
ed to the testimony as having no bear
ing on the Weiss case. but the justice ad-
mitted it. a recess was then taken.
Mr. Van Valkenburg says Tillard's
sta tement is a tissue of lies.
The trial terminated abruptly this af-
ternoon when the defendant waived a
further hearing and entered bail. This
was done because of the admission of
Detective Tillard's testimony regardless
of the objections of the defense Shortly
after leaving the office another warrant
was served upon Mr.. Van Valkenburg,
charging him with conspiring to bribe
DIR. N. J. Mackey of Lackawanna. Bail
in the same was entered. After the with
drawal of the defendant and his counsel
the taking of testimony was proceeded
with in their absence. Tillard swore he
had received $500 in five notes of 500
each to pay to Representative Weiss.
He said the money was given him by
Van Valkenburg. He subsequently re-
ceived five other 800 notes from Scran-
ton and returned them to Van Valken-
burg, who afterWard acknowledged their
receipt.

An illumination In Which All Sorts oe

Amongst the many celebrators that sat
up or stood up or rolled up to welcome

Their club house on Spring street was
illuminated both outside and inside last
night beautiful Chinese lanterns as d

There were legal lights. ministerial
lights. judicial lights, even harbor lights

time was spent.
The principal events of 1896. such as
could be we'll dispensed with. were bur-
led with appropriate solemnity, the vest
of the clubs president alone somewhat
disturbing the gravity of the occasion.
Eighteen hundred and ninety seven
was ushered in with rousing songs and
cordial toasts, and if all hours are as
well spent as the first few of this new
year the members will have no cause for
regret.
The Ahrend orchestra discoursed soft
music-at first-which was afterwards
blended to a stronger tone in order to
assimilate with the strains of the song
sters upstairs.
Many well-known citizens were pres
ent to join hands with their friends as
soon as the new year was announced
An excellent musical program was
provided to which Messrs. c. S. Cornell,
Frank Colby and Wilde were the princi-
pal contributors.
