The complete novel in the May issue
Lippincott's is "Jason Hildreth's Identity"
1t is story of unusual originality and power,
turning on an incident which has had pre-
cedents in real nie-the loss of memory and
personal identity; but the plot is SO deeply
and skiIlfully laid that the last pages will
come as surprise to almost every reader. "a
Star Route Case" by Mary E. Stckney is
tale of old days in the West, when mail
coaches were "held up by a1ents of their
owners. "Marthy's Dress" by Carrie Blake
Morgan, is a pathetic and effective piece
of work by one who never, in prose
or verse, writes otherwise than well.

McCLURE'S.

The May number of McClure's Magazine is
especially interesting in the matter of por-
traits of famous people In illustration of a
paper by Miss Tarbe.l on the remarkable work
of G. c. Cox in Photographic portraiture there
are truly speaking licensees OF Donald g.
Mitchell eek Marvel"). Walt Whitman,
Eleanora Duse, Henry Ward Beecher and
others, and series of life portraits of Daniel
Webster exhibit that most august and impress
sive of great men at close intervals from
middle life TO the year of his death, Some of
the Webster portraits have never before been
published, and all have in teresting histories,
which are set forth in notes by Charles Henry
Hart. An article that everybody will read
with eager in terest is Ray S,annard Bakers
account of the pursuit and capture of Booth
after his assassination of Lincoln and of his
death and burial There has been more or
less written on this subject before, but
Mr. Baker is relative of Colonel L. c. Baker
and Lieutenant L. B. Baker, the tw men who,
as Government detectives, were specially
charged with the pursuit and capture and
who themselves disposed of Booths body.
The paper is based upon information derived
by the writer directly from them and never
before published; and it gives, undoubtedly,
the fullest and most accurate account of
Booths last days and death that has yet APP
peared. After lying for many years under the
stone floor of the old penitentiary at Wash
ington, Booths body, Mr.. Baker discloses Is
now buried in Baltimore. Other features of
this number of McClure's are q most in
telligent and comprehensive review of the
second administration of Mr.. Cleveland, by
Carl Schurz: an account of Grants disheart-
ening search for service at the beginning of
the war, by Hamlin Garland; and fiction of
the most stirring and romantic quality by
Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson and
Rudyard Kipling.

QUEEN OF THE ANTILLES.

CUBA IN WAR TIMELY Richard Harding
Davis. New York: r. II. Russell.
Part OF this book was originally published in
the form OF letters from Cuba to the New York
Journal, and some additions have been made
which were chiefly suggested by questions
put to the CORES pondent upon his return.
The book is well illustrated by Frederic Rem
ington. The situation of affairs on the un-
happy island is very clearly and concisely
given. The commerciaism and cruelty of the
Spanish officers are described in way to
arouse sympathy for the insurgents. Some of
the chapters giving most graphic descriptions
are ''The Fate of the Pacificos," Along the
Trocha," "The Question of Atrocities" and
Tine Death OF Rodriguez This last is espe-
cially interesting, and if in place of being fact
1t had been merely piece of fiction it is so
vlvldiy told as to be worthy of careful perusal.

MRS. JENNINGS REELECTED.
Woman,s Club.

The topic for Oct. 10, Savings Banks
in Public Schools" by Mrs. Gilmer,
was listened to with great interest, the
subject being new to many. It was
treated in a very able manner, the
speaker believing that the adoption of
such banks by all schools would be the
foundation of a good business educa-
tion-that it would inculcate habits of
economy in children who now think
only of spending, sometimes for candy
and toys. often for the deadly cigar
cite. She believed it would help to
lessen want and pauperism, which we're
the cause Of much crime and was in
creasing more rapidly than the popu
latfon. Tramps, paupers, criminals and
the vicious owe their condition to a neg
lected childhood. These banks have
been in operation many years in Eu-
rope and II years in the United States
and there seems to be but one opinion
expressed by the highest educational
great effort for good in the right direc-
ton.
Dr.. Millspaugh, who was present, ex-
pressed himself as very much pleased
that club women had taken UP so i'm
portant a subject on educational lines
and from what he had learned in re-
gard to school savings banks, he be-
l1eVed them to be beneficial and hoped
to see them introduced here. In addi-
ton to saving, he thought that true
thrift included the earning of money
as well as saving it,
Mrs. C. e. Allen followed in an inter
esting talk, and while the subject was
new to her, she believed it would be
great factor for good. She would add
to the early training the study of how
to spend the money earned and saved
in the most judicious manner. She
would be glad to see the system intro
duced in all the schools, From all
authorities quoted there was only COM
mendauon, and it seems to appeal at
once 30 the good sense of all who have
thought upon the subject. or seen its
workings.

It seems to be the opinion generally
in railroad circles that the first overt
act has taken place, and that war to
the knife is about to burst without the
heartbreaking period of ultimatums and
collective notes. etc. What puzzles some
is as clear as daylight to others. for in
stance, the present utility of the move
is strongly questioned by a number be-
cause they cannot see what is to be
gained permanently by the Union Pa
CHIC IN THIS particular instance. While
to others the reason is as obvious as a
piece of oyster shell suddenly met with
in the soup. They say that before the
Rio Grarde Westerns winter cut will
be effective the block of business which
has been the bone of contention Will
all be contracted for by the Union Pa
cif1c. and the difficulty will then be

that this was murder in the first de-
