The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-02-02

With its issue of February the Bookman
completes its second year. 1t has in that
time fully demonstrated it's merit and has
become anchored in the affections of book
lovers. It's book reviews have been i'm
partial, judicious and satisfactory: its
critical papers on authors and critics nave
been instructive and analytical; its poetry
has been better than most that finds its
way into the magazines, and its book chat
and gossip about authors have without
vulgarty satisfied the demand of the
American public for personal information.
The American who desires to be kept IN
touch with the literary movements of his
time cannot do without the Bookman.

A BRAVE WOMAN.
Struggles With a Burglar and Gap
 lures Him.

Kansas City, Sept. 10.-Mrs. Nellie Feeley displayed considerable courage this morning, in capturing daring burglar who entered her house. Mrs. Feeley left her fronr door open and went to visit a neighbor.
 No sooner had she left than Charles Winslow, a recent arrival in the city, entered and gathered up considerable 1ewelry and silverware. Mrs. Feeley returned to her house just as the thief was about to depart, his arms loaded with plunder. She grappled with the burglar and held him until she re- ceived a stunning blow on the left cheek, which caused her to release her hold and fall.
 She was on her feet again in an in- stant, however, and fought the bold intruder fiercely, at the same time yell ing at the top of her voice for help She held the man until theaarrival of Officer Moulder, when he was taken tc police headquarters and locked up

LARGER NAVAL PATROL
Too Much for War Ships
 on the Florida Coast.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The law of ficers of the government are appre- hensive that several filibustering eX- petitions are being fitted out on the south Atlantic coast, and they have called upon the navy department for an increase of it's patrol fleet. The navy has replied that it has now two war ships performing this service and that no other vessels are avail able, unless the emergency is very great.
 Information has come to the de- partment of justice that no less than four vessels of various types, includ- ing the famous Dauntless, and four other ships are under suspicion; that two are unquestionably on the way to Cuba with munitions of war, hay ing evaded the patrol, and that unless the cordon is more strongly drawn around the Florida coast, others will slip through.
 From the most reliable 1nforma- tion received here, the filibusters are changing the points from which they operate, and hereafter will make at tempts to load their vessels and get them off from places on the Carolina coast, rather than from Florida where the government has maintain ed the preater part of it's patrol force in the past year. Wilmington and Newberne are. the places suspected of having assisted the two expedi- tions which have gone away, and or ders have been issued to the collect ors there to keep careful watch on any suspicious boats in that neighbor- hood.

"The First Battle. .

The above is the title of the forth coming book of Hon. W. J. Bryan, the most eminent exponent of bi- metallism. The name is a fitting one of the great political struggle of 1896. The work deals with the is- sues involved in perhaps the greatest political campaign ever known to American citizens. In addition to containing a story of the campaign, 1t also embraces an exhaustive trea- tise on bimetallism by the most emi- nent living opponents. with the future possibilities of bimetallism, and also biography of Mir. Bryan, written by his wife. When the an- nouncement was made after the election that Mir. Bryan would de- vote his attention to the production of this book, much interest was manifested in the work by the op- ponents of bimetallism, as well as the friends of this great issue. Taken altogether First Battle is a masterful production. In it the thoughtful student will find much In the study of political economy. It's success is assured. Why? Partly because of the fame of the author; but, principally because the book deals with one of the greatest issues of the hour. Very near seven million voters ehampioned the cause in the past election, and are still enlisted in the fight for the free coinage of both silver and gold at a ratio of 16 to l. The work will probably have the greatest circulation of any book that has ever appeared before the American people. The lawyer, mer- chant, farmer, mechanic and laberer are anxious to obtain it. One half of the royalties received by Mir. Bryan from the sale of the book are devoted to the cause of bimetallism.
