ga Passionate Pilgrim"

The author of "a Passionate Pill
grim" evidently thinks that a neat
ALTERATION is more important than ac-
curacy in a title. The hero of the
book, Oakton Blake, is neither a pill
grim nor passionate. He has a moder-
ate amount of sentiment, a few mean
traits, no great ability, and he in
herits a fortune, to which he has no
particular right, and in the end he
marries "the only woman he ever low
ed" This is all very we'll for Mr. Oak
ton Blake, but not especially stimu-
leting to the reader. There are semi
occasional flashes of cleverness
throughout the book, but they are not
as frequent as Percy Whites other
performances have led his readers to
feel that they ought to be.
This author is capable of strong. in
teresting, and at times brilliant work
but it is not to be found in this volume
which is languid and suggests that the
writer is no more absorbed in it than
the reader is likely to be.

"Two Prisoners"

1.-TWO Prisoners" IS a very charming
child story by Thomas Nelson Page.
The hero is a fat and yellow puppy,
who acts as the instrument of provi-
Gence in the lives of two small girls.
He is the playtning Of little girl who
lives in a beautiful house, and the
envy of the other little girl who lives
on very back street, that is yet in
sight of the beautiful houses terrace
where the wealthy little girl plays with
her dog. In the back street the other
child weeries her life away, a little
cripple, prisoned in a squalid attic, and
from her window she watches the hap
ry puppy and prisoned mocking bird
Finally the dog, moved by the spirit
of discovery that comes to puppies as
1t comes to boys, runs away from his
happy surroundings and finds his way
to the high-up room of the little Grip
pie. One day his little mistress follows
him, and the joint Chalmers of his vel
low favor come together. Of the events
that come of it Mr.. Page goes on to
tell, and, of course. the tale ends hap
PLY, as all such stories should.

Joyment of his final downfall, but as
nearly all the personages are Syrians,
Turks or Jews, it has been absolutely
necessary for the author to explain
their actions in order to place them
in the proper light before Christian
readers. The Syrians adoption of the
faith of Mohammed has abolished so
few of his ancient customs that his
daily life still strongly resembles that
recorded in the Scriptures but it has
enlarged his notions of cleanliness, in
creased his natural vindicativeness,
heightened his consciousness of an
ever-present God. Consequently he is
capable of committing what the most
Indifferent Christian would call afro
cious barbarity, all the time talking as
piously as Gedeon or Jephthah, and
never doubling that he is earning a

modern books that they tried more and
more to take readers minds away
from older and better books. They also
tend to discourage the formation of
good private Observation-Disclosures in
which works entitled to be called classic,
are found. But it is therefore all the
more gratifying to find that Jane
Austen is now read as she has not been
read before since the period that i'm
mediately followed her death. Some
weeks ago a newspaper writer, himself
an author of considerable repute and
esteem, had the hardihood to ask,
who now reads Jane Austen?" Ever
since that luckless query was asked.
the newspaper in question has been
deluged with indignant letters from
correspondents who declare they never
read better novels than this English
country spinster wrote, that they are
classic as any of Scott's books or
Thackerays, and that they religiously
read them over again each year.
Burns and Byron are to the fore
again. Some weeks ago The G b e
printed passages from the correspond
ence Of Burns with one of his publish
ers, George Thompson. Now we are
offered for the first time the complete
correspondence of Burns with Mrs.
Dunlap. Here are letters which none
of the editors of Burns have used
neither Chambers nor Wallace-and
they shed not little light on the later
life of that ploughman poet in whom
were so strangely Joined the sinner and
the son of light The new letters have
been opened in America and their pub
lication takes place here first. In Lon
don they will appear later on. Some
new letters from Byron are also COM
ing out. Newspapers get hold Of some
of them. Others will appear in new
editions of the poets writings.
Among the books on the list relating
to Spain and Cuba, which l sent The
G o b e last week, were Froude's, The
English in the West Indies" Written
ten years ago, this volume should
arouse for itself new interest now. Pre-
sumably Froude went out to study the
islands of theWest Indian groups, which
are under English rule; but he journey
ed also to Cuba, and to some other non
English islands, and in more than one
passage on Cuba, Froude Is prophetic
of recent events. He saw plainly that
the drift of history in Cuba was Unit
ed States-ward. He conversed freely
with more than one Spaniard of promi-
nence in the island, and he brought
away with him free admissions that the
rule of Spain was evil; that matters,
instead of mending were likely to grow
worse, and that hope for Improvement
lay in the great republic to the north
F1oude was, perhaps, even more i'm
pressed with the failure Of England
as ruler in the English ISL
ands. But here it was not rapacity,
cruelty and medi di1evelism that he found,
but Indifference to opportunity-a total
lack of that wise self-interest which
has extracted for England and for the
world, so much that is good for Eng
lands domain in the far East Only

THE GOOD TEMPLARS.

At the meeting of Garden Valley lodge last night an invitation from the W. c. T. U. was accepted to attend the Demorest medal contest on Thurs day evening of this week in the Pres byterian church. All members of the order are requested to meet in their hall at 7:30 o'clock to attend in body Front seats will be reserved for the Good Templars. It was announced that the Juvenile Temple would be or ganized on next Saturday afternoon at half past two o'clock. All children over years of age are requested to be present. Miss Rose Marston is su- perintendent. A committee consist ing of A. P. Walbridge, M. N. Caster line and w. L. Norris was appointed to arrange for the lecture by Frank c. Reid next week. On Tuesday evening MT. Reid will deliver his lecture on the world-renowned Moqui Indian snake dance, illustrated by life-like stere- opticon views, taken by himself last summer.

Reid will deliver an address on the interests of the order, which will be well worth hearing, as he has the rep utation of being a very entertaining and instructive speaker.

DEATH OF JOHN ARMSTRONG.
Formerly Private Secretary to Ex-
 Governor Hughes.

John Armstrong, formerly a well known newspaper writer of St. Louis, died a week ago today in St. Mary's inirmary at Cairo, H., Of pneumonia MT. Armstrong was a bachelor, about 30 years old, and had no relatives in America except one brother. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, and was sec retary to T. P. O'Connor, M. F., soon after leaving college. He came to America about eight years ago, and
 ter brief newspaper service in New
 6rk became private secretary to Governor Hughes of this territory. Later, he worked as reporter on vari- ous Chicago papers, and for the Asso- ciated Press. He went to St. Louis four years ago, and was employed on the Globe-Democrat and other papers. His last newspaper work was on the Republic, where he was employed as editorial writer. He abandoned Journalism because of failing health and went into the insurance business. About six months ago he became ste nographer and recorder on the United States steamboat Minnetonka. He cought cold during the Minnetonka's S last trip, and was sent to the Cairo 1nfirmary, where he died.
 MT. Armstrong had a large circle of friends, who loved him for his ami able qualities and admired him for his ability as a writer. Among MT. Arm strong's many virtues, and all his qualities were virtues, none were more conspicuous than his extraordi- nary purity of life and his absolute loyalty to his friends.

tailings for the plant without anal gamation in milling. The gold will be left entirely for the cyanide to save.
 MT. and Mrs. William Carter of De- Kalb, H., are at the Commercial. MT. Carter is one of the owners of the AL len gold mine north of Phoenix, and his visit here at this time is to start the ten stamp mill running and begin operations in the mine. He will also put in a cyanide plant to work the large dump of tailings at the mine which are said to contain good values in gold The absence of copper makes the tailings valuable for cyaniding. Mr. Carter and his brothers, who are interested with him in this mine, were here last winter and did considerable work at the mine. It is a we'll known property, having produced great deal of gold.
 Dr. w. C. K Buchanan of Kansas City, who was in the city several days, is now in the White Tank noun tains developing the Wabash group of claims of which he is the owner Dr. Buchanan is a former Cripple Creek mining man, and he has been success ful in mining in different parts of the country. He is well pleased with Ari- Zona, and especially the outlook for good producers in the White Tanks. The Wabash are gold claims which return $60 and s70 at a slight depth. The doctor will sink a number of shafts and will be absent in the hills for two weeks.
 
 John T. Dunlap has returned to Phoenix from trip to the White Tanks where he went with Dr. w. c. K. Buchanan a week ago. MT. Dun lap is one of the leading stockholders of the Golden Gate Mining company which is composed largely of Kansas City mining men. They own some valuable property in Yavapai county near Prescott which they are making preparations to work extensively. A ten stamp mill will be put in by the company and other improvements will be made in the mine as well as in the milling facilities.
 
 Colin Timmons, superintendent of the Grand canyon coper mines, who is at the Commercial, will leave soon TOT MeX1cO, where ne Will examine some copper properties.
 Speaking of the amount Malcolm realized from the Vulture dump tailings at Smith Mill, a mining man who knew the value of the dump pretty well said that the sum it pro duced was very nearly S75,O0O MT. McLeish freely admits that he had a bonanza in the Vulture dump. The dump averaged s6 to the ton, and the expenses of MT. McLeish were small as he employed Mexican labor. He still has his tanks and cyaniding outfit and is looking for another dump. Whether he made s75,O0O or s10O,OOO out of the dump is not known by any one but MT. McLeish, but that he made a fortune is sustained by the condi- tions under which he operated.
