The Birthright, by Joseph Hooking,
author of All Men are Liars, is ro-
nance of the good old fashioned type. A
hardy youth is hidden by his father to
win back the family estates kept from
him by fraud and duresse. The date OF
the story is about the middle of the eigh-
teenth century. Pirates, smugglers and
wild adventures of many kinds lead to a
final happy issue. The style of narrative
is excellent: clear, concise and maintain
ing throughout the rather quaint and
sturdy tone peculiar to the period. The
Birthright has love making in abundance
to modify its valor and introduces BETSY
Fraddam," An old witch, who casts as
many spells as the Macbeth danes. A
certain mysterious cipher will interest
boy readers. Altogether the tale will ap-
prove itself to persons weary of realism
and..in search Of a stirring story wrought
of the Imagination and tiuctured with
hazard and bold chance. New York

ing, Short & Harmon. Price $1.25.)

That Henry George is angling for the
saloon vote in New York is made evident
by his remarks on the excise law in his
recent letter and his warm tribute to per.
sonal liberty, which is euphemisln for
doing as one pleases no matter what its
effect upon other people or society in gen.
eral. Mr.. George pledges himself not tc
enforce the excise law more vigorously
than he is compelled to, which means
probably that he will practically ignore it.
Van Wyck will now have to make as high
bid at least for the saloon vote or he
will lose it, and we shall soon be favored
no doubt. with his ideas of personal lib.

his summer at Diamond Island in our

The statement is often made that juve-
nile literature is rarely read by the re-
viewer that young folks stories are con-
sidered "done" when chapter headings
and table Of contents, binding and illus
tration have been commented upon. But
the PRESS reviewer reads all the volumes
with whose presentation he is honored.
In the present instance. since Kirk Mum
roe is a prime favorite, The Painted Des-
ert was put into the hands of one of the
boys for thorough perusal. The fact
that this special youth is well into the
forties initiates no jot against his enthu-
siasms, for he knows his West and has
chased tie Indian over the plain in per-
son, and is altogether just the critic for
Munroe's writings. He pronounces the
story stunning. He says much informa-
ton anent geography and geology is
CLEANED by the way, and that the thrill
ing excitements Of the tale do not trans.
cend the possible. He claims that this
Arizona diamonds sailing scheme of ad-
venture and wonder working is we'll con-
ceived, wildly written and full of snap
and go. In short, Kirk Munroe has
found the way to the heart of young
America, and new book Of his, like q

plums in the Christmas or birthday cake.

At an informal meeting Of the
silver Climb at headquarters on Satur-
day night, the following resolutions
we're adopted:
Whereas, The counties Of the
Black Hills OF South Dakota, in the
recent election gave an unprecedent-
ed marjority for the populist elector-
al, congressional and state ticket,
making it possible to elect Bryan
electors, two congressman and the
most important Of the state officers T:
and
Whereas, The Black Hills has as a
candid ate for the office of United
States senator one of it's most en-
inent citizens, a pioneer in the
cause Of the people and a c~easeless
worker in their interest; therefore
be it
Resolved, BY the Bryan Free Sill
yer Club Of Rapid City, South
Dakota. that we give our most
cordial endorsement of Hon. A. j,
Plowman for United States senator,
and while we believe that the Black
Hills is entitled to the honor of this
place, we nevertheless are firmly OF
opinion that the rare ability and ir-
tegrity of Judge Plowman, as we'll
as the pre-emlnent service reformed
by him in the last campaign, as we'll
in the past, justly entitle him tc
this positio n regardless of any locaI
consideration.

LAND CRABS VS.. WATER BABIES

The Naval Men Meet Their Waterloo
The Celestial Mascot Does Wen
for the Town Players.

The Strangers Friend Society rea-
lized in the neighborhood of $50 from
the base ball game yesterday. There
was a fairly good attendance in the
grand stand and large number Of
carriages were grouped about the
grounds.
The game was called punctually at
$3.50 o'clock. The Water Babies and
the Land Crabs marched around the
diamond, led by their respective Cap
tains.
Master Ward Winchell, son of En-
gineer Winchell, dressed in pretty
sailor suit of yellow and old gold, was
the mastcot for the Navy men. The
Townies had their usual mascot, Little
All Wo, with his striking Chinese cos
tune of red.
The afternoon was dry and warm
and the Land Crabs were in their ele,

full Waterloo, the score being 26 to 1J.
The batting of the Town team was
strong, while that of the officers was
very weak. DR.. Smith and Captain

DECLINE IN IMMIGRATION.
Lowest Point Since 1882 Reached Last
Year.

The tide of immigration to the Unit
ed States is at the lowest point since
the general Government assumed ju-
risdiction of the subject in 1882. The
number of arrivals in America from
all countries, according to Treasury
statistics during the last fiscal year
was 23O,S31, a decrease as compared
with the previous year of 112,435. The
lightest immigration of any previous
year was in 1895, when the number
from all countries was 279,S4S. Dur
ing the entire period of Federal super
vision 7,432,016 have entered the Unit
ed States. Italy furnished the great
est number of immigrants, 54,543, a
decrease of S629 from last year. Since
1882 there has been large and steady
decrease in German immigration. In
1882 250,63 entered the United States
from that country, while in 1896 only
1853 arrived. 1t will be seen that the
number of German immigrants dur
ing the first year of Government SUI
pervision exceeded the immigration
from all countries during the last
year. Immigration from Austro-Hnn-
gary decreased from 55,1OS in 1896 to
33,031 in 1897
The decrease from other countries
is follows: England, 19,492 in 1896
to 1914 in 1897. Sweden, 21 ,137 to 49,
IA. Norway, 1855 to 1862. Ireland,
