In Mr.. Arthur Paterson's new novel
of the civil war, 1.-THE Gospel Writ in
Steel" the author describes the scenes in
a Western town when the President first
called for volunteers, and his pictures OF
the home sentiment and the preparations
are of extreme interest. The story at
fords a graphic account of Bull Kun, ana
later the hero undergoes stirring ad-
ventures in Sherman's march to the sea.
Mr.. Paterson's romance, which Is to be
issued soon by d. Appleton & Co., will
be awaited with especial interest.

1t may be that Billy Madden has found
in Gus Rubin the man he has been search
ing for since he severed his connections
with John l. sullivan, a man to become
the champion fighter of the world. The
two have been in the city this week.
Regarding Bendoff, whom Rubin will
meet in Baltimore, it may be said that
his chief claim TO fame is that he fought
for the largest stake ever fought for.
lie is recorded rs having met Jack Couner
at Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for
"a 500, on July 30, 1889 Bendoff won
in sixteen rounds.
Bendoff is regarded as a back number.
He ca me to this country to fight few
years ago, but was unable to get on a
match, because he set such an outrageous
value upon his drawing powers. He re-
turned to England thoroughly disgusted,
and while in Liverpool got into an alter
cation with hotel keeper. In the row
which ensued Bendoff stabbed his oppo..
nent, for which he served long term
of Imprisonment.
Bendoff knows many tricks Of the game,
but Ruhlin's strength and speed should
ena BILE him to win with comparative ease.

propriating $25, 900 to defray the ex-
panses of an American athletic team to
the international championships which are
to be held at Paris during the exposition
of 1900. Should Congress fail to respond
to the moderate request of the A. A. u,
1t is very probable that the States and
cities having representatives on the all
American team will be asked to contribute
something toward the general expense. Mr
c. G. Hughes, a prominent member of the

culture, and Congress should recognize its
Importance by having the best America can
produce at the French fair. The municipal
authorities of several American cities are

nothing improper in Congress making an
