man, so that the least fragment OF one of their
statues makes all modern works seem ugly
and contemplate. and ,he least strain OF tn cir
poetic music seems like notes from another
sphere than ours.
One reason of this condition is that books
are written now with the fear of the critics
before mems eyes. Utterance is strained be-
cause some may oisapprove or condemn. Men
write for living or for fame and not because
they have some great and noble thing to say.
Literature is small because the men who pro-
duce 1t are not great The stream is like its
fountain. The authors of the really great
books have been great men. They have lived
IN full sense and have understood what life
means. Literature nowadays shows a lack OF
convictions. 1t Is a materialistic age; life has
lost meaning for many persons, and without a

CORCORAN IS GUILTY.
He Beat His Wife and Daughter and
Will be Sentenced To-Day.

Maurice Corcoran, who resides at
51S o street, was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court yesterday morning on two
charges of battery, preferred by his
young daughter Mamie. He was con-
victed on both counts, and will be
sentenced this morning.
The evidence showed that Corcoran
came home drunk, and after having
thrown his wife to the floor planted
his knees on her breast and proceeded
to beat her until his daughter arrived.
She attempted to rescue her mother
and received two blows from her
drunken father
A roomer was called down before
Corcoran could be made to desist.
Heretofore Justice Davis has shown no
mercy to wife-beaters, and if he main
tains his reputation in this case Cor
coran will have plenty of time to
