The concert of the Boston Ladies' SYM

worthy musical events. This is one of the
best ladies' orchestras in the country and

favorable terms from the opera house and
lyceum bureau arrangements than last year,
and therefore have placed many OF the re-
serve seats in the house at a lower price
than formerly, although, the course is more
attractive than that of last season. Many
of the patrons of the course prefer reserV-
ing for each entertainment separately and
have been laid ASIDE for their accommoda-

quite large, but there are a large number
of seats still TO be had.

STOCK YARDS BUSINESS
ABOUT 100000 HOGS WILL BE HAN
DIED THIS YEAR.
Better Prices Have Prevailed than at
other MarIxets-With
the MiIlerse

There is but little ques ton as to the In
dianapolis stock yards doing more business
the present year than in any year since the
yards were established. President Samuel
Rauh is very confident that there will be
handled this year 100000 hogs at theeyaFds,
if the business of November and December
meets expectations. The official report of
business done at the yards shows that in
the ten months ending Oct. 81 there were
handled at the yards 1880, 400 hogs, against
946 ,267 hogs in the corresponding period of
1897, an increase of 1874, Jap head. In October
there were handled at the yards 131, 007 hogs,
against 90,514 head in October, 1897 In the
ten months there were handled at the yards
113 1872 head of cattle, against 1913 PSF head in
the corresponding ten months of 1897 a de-
crease this year of $685. head. In October
of this year, however, there were handled
Il, 904 head of cattle, against 1857 head in
October 1897, an increase Of 1,G27 head, and
it is believed that before the year closes the
losses in number of cattle handled will be
fully overcome. The exhibit on sheep is not
so favorable in the ten months, but "a, 455
head being handled, against S5.S6S head in
the corresponding period of 1897; decrease
this year, 11,413 head. In the ten months
there were handled at the yards 26,096 head
of horses and mules, against 25,29S in the
corresponding period of 1897; increase this
year, 79S head. The oldest stock dealers at
the yards express the opinion that the re-
ceipts the remaining two months of the
year will be highly satisfactory, and they
say that at no former period have matters
moved along more satisfactorily at the
yards than during the present year. The
present management is making every effort

snanish Rule in America.

At the height of her power and prestige
Spain contributed largely to the migration
from Europe to America To understand
the nature of the colonial governments
which she established on this continent 1t
is necessary to understand something of
events which, during a long period, had
made the Spanards fanatical, cruel and
vindictive. The policy of Spain with refer
ence to her American possessions was, in
it's essential features, determined by the cir
cumstances which made the Spanish nation
and it's government what they had become.
At the same time it is doubtless true that
the cruelty and excuses of which the In
dams of America were the victims were not
due more to the Spanish government and
court than to the unDrinciDled adventures
to whom, in many cases, was conf1ded the
task of conquering and settling America.
The Spanish government was as bad as 1t
could be, but its agents In America were
still worse. These and kindred topics are
treated in 1.-The Establishment of Spanish
Rule in America" by Prof. Bernard Moses,
of the University of California The work
treats in a broad and philosophical way of
the causes and influences that made early
Spanish rule in America what it was. The
subject is well handled, the result being
valuable contribution to the history and
politics of Spanish America. G. p. Put

The adventures of Francois.

DR.. Weir Mitchell shows his versatility in
turning from Hugh Wynne," with its back
ground of American history, to the period
of the French revolution and depicting the
life and adventures of founding, thief and
juggler during that exciting period. He has
not many characters in the book giving
great attention to but four, but these he
brings out wildly. The tale is somewhat
melodramatic. but is full of interest, more
attractive in some respects than Hugh
Wynne' for the subject is handled with
lighter touch He does not enter the hor-
rors of the revolution with the minuteness
that many fiction writer's do who deal with
that period but he indicates them closely
enough. The story is full of exciting ad-
venture, and Francois, though a rather inn
probable character with his numerous gifts
and accomplishments and his unconscious
wickedness, is very attractive. DIR. Mitchell
evidently knows Paris well and has studied
his theme with great care. The MARQUIS
De Ste. Luce is a well-drawn character,
and the authors professional knowledge Is
displayed in his study of "Despard's' men
tai decay. Toto" F'rancois's dog is fig
ure in the story that cannot be overlooked,
and his death causes regret. Though the
story is based on well-traveled ground, 1t Is
nevertheless out of the common and is Well
worth the reading. Published by the Cen
tury Company.

both directions. That It is a success upon
the stage has been amply demonstrated in
Paris and is being newly proved in this
country by Mr. Mansfield. That its merits
are equally manifest to the reader in his

of the rhymed verse in which the original
appears, Miss Hall giving only prose: pos

an occasional forced phrase or ill-chosen

out 1886 barrels, against 1925 barrels in
1897; 81 .OO5 barrels in 1896; "a, 500 barrels in
