girl an idea that her mission is the
stage or anywhere away from the safe,
sweet embrace of her ChildhOod'S S home
and they don't contain any deep. dark
suggestiveness that sets the fertile
brain at work wondering how much
worse the real facts of somebody's
indiscretions were than appears in the
story. They are simple, yes rather
simply certainly, but pleasant, highly
moral books and as yet nobody has
asked their withdrawal.
AS to that. nobody has requested that
the works of May Agnes Fleming and
Mary j. Holmes be obliterated from the
finding list and therefore they remain.
AS Jerome X. jerome said of his own
first book of essaysi They wouldn't
elevate a COW" They never did any
good yet except, perhaps, to keep girls
off the street. | never heard of boy
who read them, but they have given a
vast number of false ideas OF human

The librarians of the Osterhout H.

works from the shelves, in the theory
that the readers will acquire a taste
for a higher grade of literature IL they
are not "doped" with these silly tales.
In our library the case is different
The public furnishes the funds and it
is held that the public has a right to
a voice in the choice of books. Per-

better read everything Mary Jane
Holmes, Bertha M, Clay, May Agnes
Fleming. Mary Cecil Hay and the en-
tire outfit of that class ever wrote than
to read "Quo Vadis," which Sunday
school teachers, ministers and highly
moral authorities in general have been
recommending. The craze for historic
al novels has reached such a pitch that
all writer needs to do nowadays Is to
drag in a few Christian martyrs and
arrange modern conception of an apos-
tie, TO have the book placed alongside
the Bible, the Churchman, Christian
Advocate and other unmistakable
specimens of religious literature. 1t

ATTORNEY D. w. BROWN DEAD.
Succumbs to Typhoid Fever at His
Home in Dalton.

Attorney David w. Brown died early
yesterday morning of typhoid fever at
his home in Dalton. He was for sew
eral years a member of the IaCkawan-
ma county bar and was an aX-principaI
of keystone academy
Mr.. Brown was u years old He was
born in LatbrOp township, near Hop
bottom, in Susquehanna county, where
his mother, Mrs. Ienas Brown now re-
sides. His father is not living. Early
in life Mr.. Brown taught school in the
country and later attended keystone
academy, where, after mis- graduation,
hc was retained as instructor in pen
manship He later entered Colgate
university and graduated there i'm 1882.
During that year he married Miss
Mary l.. Hill, of Montrose.
Mr., Brown studied law in Montrose
with Little & Allen and entered the
bar there in 1885. He practiced law
there for five years and then relin-
quished practice to accept the princi-
palship of Keystone academy at Fac
toryVille. Three wears later he came
to Scranton and for nearly a year was
associated with John r. Jones, now
district attorney. For a number of
years preceding his death Mr.. Brown
devoted himself particularly to real
estate, conveyancing and loan prac-
tice, acquiring a large and remunera-
tive clientele.
He Is survived by a wife and two
young daughters, his mother, one
brother and four sisters.
Mr.. Brown had been ill with the
grippe for about two weeks. He was
nearly cOnvalescent when on Monday
typhoid fever developed. The disease
was very severe but his condition was
not considered dangerous until late on
Thursday. That night he became un-
conscious and died at 4.45 o'clock yes
terday morning.

ERIE YARD AT JEsSUP.
Trying to Have 1t Finished by First
of Year.

The Delaware and Hudson Coal conf
pany is making every effort to get its
breakers retitted for steam cars and
are tearing out the gravity track as
fast as each breaker is changed over.
The abandoning of the old gravity
necessitates a large yard near the con-
Meeting point of the road they ship
over.
To fill this need the Erie will make
a large yard at Jessup, where their
engines will make up the trains for
Port Jervis. Years ago when people
were settling at Jessup the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company allowed them to
build on their land for a small yearly
rental, little thinking the time would
come when this land would be valuable
to them. The time has arrived and
the houses, some of which are very
fine buildings, are to be moved to make
way for the twelve new tracks which
will make up the new yard for the
storing of coal, ready for the Erie
engines.
From this yard the Erie will take the
coal over the Winton branch to the
Erie and Wyoming Valley at Rock
Junction and thence by the way of
Hawley to Port Jervis. The yard is
to be completed by the first OF the
year.

The feast of the dedication of
Chaunca, also known as the feast of
lights, was begun yesterday through
out the world and 1t is observed by the
Jewish people. Eight days are spent in
commemora ting this occasion. The
feast dates from the time of Maccabees,
when he and his followers. after fierce
ly contested victories, freed themselves
from the tyranny of Antuchus Epi-
planes. There was not any special SER
vice In this city yesterday.

be taken straight. l fail to see any
necessity of learning the intricate mi
nutiae of the orgies Of Nero, or to be
narrowed in sensiblities over highly
wrought. pictures of the arena. If you
must hear about the horrors of those
times read S. Barring Gould's uew book,
"Domitia," which has St.-Luke for a
central figure.
But, dear me. / meant to tell of
some new Christmas books. l would
suggest that the young girl who is in
doubt what to select in current fiction
for her own reading can scarcely make
a mistake by reading the high class
magazines, in which the greatest nov
els of the times are first appearing.
The Century, Harper's, Scribner's, the
Cosmopolitan, McCure's, and a num-
ber of others to be obtained at the Ii
brary contain the cream of literatore
of the day.
Walter Besant's new book, "The
Changeling," published by Frederick
Stokes, is one of the most entertaining
books offered. 1t is a relief in one re-
spect as making no attempt at his
formal effect. 1t is simply study OF
ing details interspersed. The little
glimpse of the real tramp instinct in
one of the characters is more than
fascinating.
Stokes also issues a wild and weird
sea story, "Grace O'Malley by Mach
cray" with a thread of history in its
woof founded on the incidents con-
nected with the intended alliance of
Spain and Ireland against Elizabeth.
1t is a well written tale, pure In tone
and entertaining throughout to those
who care for tales of ocean combat
and struggles on land.
John Oliver Hobbies" sends out by
the same publisher. "The Ambassador"
a cleverly written comedy in four acts
which is just as charming as a novel
and a deal more concise and interest
ing than most. The cover is especially
attractive as a gift book.
George Gissing's last book. "The
Town Traveller" also issued by Stokes,
is sure to be popular. It deals with
the lower strata of London's middle
class and has certain Dickens-like
flavor impossible to resist.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-12-10

Apropos of the war; have you seen
that beautiful, glorified illustration of
its story by Zogbaum and James
Barnes?
Another new war book which prom
ises to make a sensation is John r.
Spears "Our Navy in the War with
Spain" This is also issued by Scrlb-
ner. The authors undoubted ability
as an expert in naval matters gives
this work great Importance.
