j. Adam Bede, of st. Paul, he of
birch bark fame, paid a visit to Prince
ton last Friday and secured so many
subscribers to his Budget that the
UNION editor may have to forego the
pleasure of repn blishing some of his
pungencies Mr.. Bede was greatly
pleased with the appearances of
Princeton and although this was his
first visit he promises it shall not be
his last. During encampment week he
expects to be with US again and partic-
ipate in the pleasures of that occasion.
The people of Princeton will be glad
to welcome him then or at any other
time he may drop into town.

After the execution Of the Borrsgos al

Thornton wal seen at his office, and asked
il he had anything to say regarding the
matter. He replied:
81 have just two things to say, and they
are: First, l am glad President Mckinley
and Attorney General McKenna reviewed
the case. Their action forever removes
the element of politics that had been In
jected into It. Second, the fact that the
case was considered by both a democratic
and republican president and the sen.
tence of death confirmed by them, will
teach the people Of New Mexico that
crime cannot be- committed ana tho crimi-

of the Territory has been vindicated and

To the Editor Of the Optic.
EAsTL Las VEGAS, N. NJ, April Ord, 1897.
II am informed that Mr.. Clay, the city
marshal, Is stating that his salary, or part
Of II, has been withheld from him and ap-
propriated to street work. Any such state
ment Is incorrect. No part of the marshal's
salary fund has been appropriated to street
work, or misappropriated. 1t 10 true /
have been ambitious that Las Vegas should
have good streets and that every thing be
done possible to build up the town, but no
funds have been ~misapplied to reach
that end, as the books will show.
And they all so show that the marshal
has received his pay, whenever there has
been cash in the marshal's fund, with which
to pay a months salary, and at no time
has IL been used for other purposes.
Yours truly,
+. e. OLNEY, Mayor.

STORY OF JANE AUSTEN.

THE STORY OF JANE ,AUSTEN'S LIFE-By
Oscar Fay Adams. Lee & Shepard, Bost on
Price 50. .
The above is a new and illustrated edition
of Mr.. Adams popular life of the famous lady
novelist.
This "Story of Jane Austen's Life'' is con-
structed on somewhat different lines from the
biographies previously published. it being the
intention of the author TO place Jane Austen
'before the world as the winsome, delightful
woman that she was, and thus dispeI the un-
attractive not to say forbidding mental pic
ture which so many have formed Of her." Mr..
Adams has spent much time aud effort in the
preparation Of the story, having visited all the
localities once familiar to Jane Austen, the
descriptions of Bath, Steventon, Chawton and
other places being very interesting as well as
accurate.
This new edition is in several respects an
improvement upon the earlier one. The valu.
able photography has been extended some
two pages, detail which all students of Miss
Austen will appreciate, and of still more in
terest will be found the reduced fac-simile OF
an entire letter by Miss Austen, written in
August, 1896. But the distinguishing feature
of the new edition is furnished by the eigh-
teen illustrations scattered through the vol
ume. which include the most memora Bile
scenes associated with Miss Austen's life and

pie OF discord which arrayed the line against
the staff, and during thirty years has continued
to distract the naval service. 1t is to be hoped,
for the credit OF the service, that this Ve4eo
question may be satisfactorily settled De1ore

time has come for the line officer to recog-
niZe the fact that he is largely dependent LOT
success in the conduct of the ship on his en-
gineer. In the current numb Der OF the Norm
American Review Admiral Colomb, the dis
tinguished British admiral. In an artlcie on
1.-The Evolution of the Naval Othcer says:
''There is no doubt that, long after It's intro
duction, steam propulsion was desplseo ana
ha,ed by the ablesJ and best among our naval
officers Men went SO far as TO pride them
selves on profound ignorance of everything
relating TO the steam-engine. Years elapsed
before the study of it became a road 10 promo
ton. But when the engineer came on board
he possessed a knowledge with regard to the
ship which 1t was at first no disgrace to the
captain-rather to his nonor, lndeed-not to
share. For the first ZINE the younger man,
with the lesser experience OF sea lie, was the
superior in q knowledge which was necessary
to the shin The captain was the official but
no longer the personal superior of the engineer
in his peculiar department. For the first time
the conduct OF the ship became the conse-
quence of a consultation between the captain,
with general but incomplete knowledge. and
the engineer with special but complete
knowledge"
The captain is no longer despot on board
his ship; he has been changed into a consti-
tutional monarch and is dependent for mis-
supplies if not for instruction ss to the course
he is TO steer on parliament personifed by
the chief engineer. Mr.. Benefits book is pro-

A MARITAL LIABILITY-By Elizabeth Phipps

pany. For sale in this City by Joseph A. Hof-
mann, Sutter street. Price rs cents.
very well written and entertaining little
story is this, illustrating the occasional cruel
miscarriage OF human justice. The hero goes
to the penitentiary and serves out sentence
of ten years in order to shield his
wife from exposure for the crime of
forgery which she had committed in
diabolically clever way. The beautiful
faith and love of the mans daughter, who be-
lieves in her father through all these years of
darkness. is pleasant 10 contemplate as an off
set to the painful thought that such unmerited
imprisonments are really sometimes inflicted.
Another pretty feature is the ardent love of a
society woman who acts the good Samaritan
and tries to re instate the returned convict into
the best social circles Realizing the restraints
of finer feeling that bind the hero, she lets
her love-making go to lengths that would
be considered unwomanly under ordinary
circumstance.

Lamar once said he liked occasionally to take
q spell off from serious thought and read
something that was absolutely trash The
need of some such restiul reaction may be
shared by many others of fine Intellectual
endowment, and the desire to read the Ouch

depth.
The Lovice Of this story is a loveble girl in
spite of the fact that although she utterly

things to her while guest at her house.
Surely Mrs. Hungerford would not in real life
have admired q girl who showed SO little
refinement and sense of honor, and yet the
fair heroine of this book seems seriously in
tended as a model of refinement held up to
contrast with the vulgarity OF the other
characters. 1t cannot be denied that the book
Is admirable in some ways, and it is harmless,
bright and clean
