NOVELS OF PROBLEM.
Miss Farrant Discusses Hail Caine,
Meredith ard Hardy.

Miss Louise Grace Farrant lectured yes
terday afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
A. ]. Newbury, No. 81 Clifton place, on
Novels of Problem She said:-sThis is
the g that deyotes itself to the solving
of problems that press upon it with ire
sistible force. Well known ~novelists are
analyziing vices, giving us studies of here
dity, are deluging us with psychology and
sociology, under the deceptive title of
novel. Who, although he may gladly as
cribe the author of the Manxman his
well earned need of praise, cares to de-
light, or rather disturb his few moments
Of leisure for reading by studying Hail
Gaines powerful psychological novels. It
is necessary, as the world now is, that
such things be, but is the moral lesson
the novelist wishes to convey in the tel
ling of them worth all the horror and dis
gust that the reading of this book e~xcites?
Can we never escape from these problems,
even in fiction, that ought to take US away
from ourselves into the land of the ideal,
flowing with milk and honey? Of curse
1t is the duty Of the novelist to hold up
the mirror to nature, and 1t cannot be de-
MED that it is his privilege to make a
study Of social conditions, If he so wishes
Hall Game does sc wish. and he exposes
vice with an unfaltering hand.
Mr.. Grant Allen in the Woman Who
Did, fights the battle of Free Love. His
characters are rather puppets than hui
man beings, n do not observe the rules
of the game. Hermoine is nothing but a
sort of sacred fashion plate from start to
finish, a Puritan Of Puritans, prig of
prigs, pioneer of pioneers. If we could
hear her give a hearty human laugh we
could believe in her.
"Of all the novelists now writing George
Meredith seems. to me to be the first in
power. Certainly no novelist is better
able to describe woman. He is the most
radical thinker we have Tess, of the
D'Urbervilles, is one of Mr.. Hardy's best
novels, second only to THE Return of the
Native" The motive of Tess is one of
those simple, and yet how cruelty tangled,
usual situations. Mr.. Hardy has hitherto
been inclined to champion man, the faith
full against woman, the coquette, but in
Tess he very definitely espouses the cause
of woman.
Miss Farrant discussed Mrs. Wards
Marcella, and in closing, said:-"I think
that we are ready for something less med
icinal than these bitter views from sad
experience and deep thought with which
the novelists, in these latter and greater
days of their dynasty, have come to give

Wild Petitions for Salary Re-
duetion but no Legislative
Work Done.

TRENTON, Feb. 0, 1897--The legislative
work of last evening showed little, If any,
Improvement over that of the previous
week, and both Houses adjourned before
nine o'clock. AS soon as the routine Of
opening a session had been gone through
with, Mr.. Wildes of Burlington presented
another petition from the farmers of his
district, praying for the passage of his
Dill reducing the salaries of all the State
officials. Mr.. Wildman of Hudson intro
duced a resolution providing that the
House should meet Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday and then take
a recess from February rs to March s,
so that those who wanted to could go
to the inaugural. The Speaker declared
the resolution out of order, as the Con-
stitution provides when the Legislature
shall meet. The House then made a
heroic effort to do something and passed
three bills
House Is. Provides that the terms of
all township and village officers in sec
ond class counties shall mren on the
Friday following the annua town meet
ing and shall hold office until their sue
cessors shall be elected and qualified.
House 40. Correctsf a typographical err
ror in the statute regulating sales of real
estate for taxes.
A recess was taken in order to give the
committees an opportunity to report
some bills. but three measures were the
result of the effort.
The matt passed three bills. one of
which provides that the Prosecutors of
fourth class counties shall receive a sal
airy of $500 a year. They are now paid
fees according to the humble of convic-
tions they secure. One of the bills passed
enables the new club which roposes to
purchase the Hotel Breslin, at Lake
Hopatcong, to issue stock.
Senator Ketcham, of Essex, attempted
to stir up his fellow Senators to activ-
ity- He said 1t, was currently reported
throughout the State that the Legislature
was not doing all the work it ought to.
He hoped the committee Judiciary hav-
ing the constitutional amendments in
charge would hurry and get them before
the Senate
The gentleman is out of ORDER said
the President, rapping his gavel vigorous
ly on his desk. Mr.. Ketcham subsidized
and the Senate adjourned for the night.

OF all the unaccountable things for

The "Call' refers to Mr.. BEETLE as a
lobbyist, but hat distinction carries no
disgrace with 1t, because it only defines
a class of men who are employed to look
directly or Indirectly upon private or
public interests. : They become
objects of severe and adverse criticism
only when they show an interest in those
bills that are aimed at corporate powers.

the shoe is on the other foot.
1t is more than probable tina the people
will not take the same view of Griggs
and his merry men that the hired rail-
road press does, and so, more than likely
it will turn him and his party down, next
year. When the changed times bring
Billy Thompson and Bob Adrain and

the Editor of the state Gazette" will
owe it to his conscience to give them a
