A new book by Sir Walter Besant en-
titled THE Orange Girl" has just been pub
lished. The story is tale Of the eighteenth
century of the time when debtors prisons
were crowded with wretched humanity and
when men, women and children were hanged
for trining offenses. The pictures are drawn
vivdly; we are given very good idea of
certain aspects of London life in the year
1860; we are introduced to Newgate prison,
to the Old Bailey, to n thieves kitchen; we
are made to see criminals pelted in the pill
lory and footpads exercising their profess
sion in st. Martins Lane, and we always
feel that our guide knows his way about as
a guide should. The heroine is girl OF the
criminal classes. She begins her career as
an orange girl at Drury Lane theater, and
by reason Of her beauty and talent finally
becomes a popular actress. In her nature
there is something inherently fine and noble,
and her vicious surroundings serve but to de-
velop the purity and strength of her
character. Her efforts are directed towards
frustrating the designs of a band of out
laws and of restoring to his inheritance the
victim OF their schemes. The story has
plot and interest and is racy of the times
The book is one from which a good deal of
incidental entertainment, as well as informa-
tion, may be drawn, and is written in a
style that makes one always curious to see
what will happen next. Dodd, Mead &

Is very timely. Such book is Admiral
Dewey" by John Barrett, former United
States minister to Siam and recently war
correspondent at Manila. For nearly year
Mr.. Barrett served as war corre-
spondent at Manila. He saw Ad-
miral Dewey frequently under all condi-
tons and was thus able to make an excel
lent estimate of the man. For more than
three months he was guest on various
ships of the squadron, and was thus brought
into closer association with the admiral
than any other correspondent. Perhaps the
single weakness which the admiral shows
is his extreme fondness for his son, and his
Willingness to talk about the brightness and
good sense of the young fellow. Above all
else, Mr. Barrett was struck by the genuine
modesty and simplicity of the admiral. One
manifestation of Deweys modesty was the
utter rejection of the proposal that he con-
sent to become a presidential candidate.
Mr.. Barrett probably reflects the opinion
OF most Americans when he expresses the
belief that had Admiral Dewey been granted
full powers after the fall of Manila, such as
England gave to Kitchener in the Soudan,
che would have successfully solved the prob
lem of our relations with the natives ana
prevented many of those conditions which
have helped on the present warfare" The
volume is illustrated with half-tones OF
many excellent photographs, and is attrac-
lively bound. 1t is sure to have many thou
sands of readers, for it gives the informa-
tion about Admiral Dewey that people want
to know. Harper Bros, New York. Cloth

The Alaskan BOUNDARY.

Canacas latest contention in the Alaskan
boundary dispute will not be admitted by
this Government. Examination demon
strates thai Lachert, in his search for mon
uments along the boundary line in 1888, has
relied wholly upon his imagination for his
facts. Neither he nor the Canadian Gov
ernmont can produce the least trustworthy
evidence that any such landmarks were
ever set up, or, il once established, were
ever recognized by Russia or by the United
States.
This latest invention of the Canadian
claimants is in keeping with all other pro
tests made by the British Government since
the controversy began. 1t is nothing bui
arrogant assertion absolutely unsupported
by law or justice
The United States is holding in this
dispute only its obvious own. Its
claims are sustained by the Russian British
treaty of 1925. and by the British-United
States treaty Of 1867. The boundary line
which the United States now insists upon is
precisely what this Government has repre-
sented it to be, and what the British Gov
ernment has admitted it to be, for more
lhah seventy years. All maps no" on ME
in the Library of Congress. in the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, OF in the Hydro
graphic Office, emphaticaIIy sustain our
position.
There is no use in refining on this sub
ject. British casuistry will not shake the
reasoning of American common sense.
The line thirty miles eastward and par
allel TO the windings of the coast has
been fixed since 1926 and clearly under
stood by both Great Britain and the Uni
ted States since 1867. Every foot of land
west of that boundary line to the waters
edge is the soil of the United States. Over
that territory waves the United States Gag

No Tran for Root.

We very much fear that the press is
misrepresenting the views OF the new Sec
retary Of War On ore important feature
of the Philippine matter 1t is stated
with an air of authority that Mr.. Root in
tends to increase our military strength in
the Orient to only forty thousand men.
Obviously the need is fer a considerably
heavier force than that. For this reason
we are not inclined to believe that the
Secretary has decided on such small
number of re-enforcements.
He has. perhaps, kept track of the CEN
sored reports from the Philippines, and,
like the rest Of us, has drawn his own con-
clusicns. He has also. probably, been
reading the estimates OF Lawton, Hall, and
ether competent judges. all of whom put
the need high above the forty thousand
mark We take it that if Mr.. Root is to
concern himself with anything but the
legal phases OF the question. he will de-
vote his energies earnestly to ending the
war in the shortest possible time This
he owes no less TO his own reputation than
TO the interests of his beleaguered chief in
the White House. Therefore we conclude
that he viii send over every soldier availa-
bic. We do not believe he will convict

keeping in this country any of the proyis-
icaal regiments now being formed, when
the excuse fer calling them out was the

PARALYSIS AMONG CHILDREN
A Peculiar Disease That Physicians
Think Infectious.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Aug, 4.-The paral-
ysis which has attacked many children IN
this city in the last two weeks was today
pronounced infectious by DR.. Henry ID.
Chaplin, professor in the Post Graduate
Hospital, at Twentieth Street and Second
Avenue, New York.
Dr. Chaplin came to this city by request
of DIR. D. NJ. Sheedy, who first reported the
disease among his patients. DR.. Chaplin
accompanied DR.. Sheedy to the bedside OF
seven children ranging from one 10 hve
years, all victims of the disease.
Dr. Chaplin said he had never found
similar trouble in children. He said he
believed it TO be the result of softening of
the grey matter of the spinal cord, and
while not dangerous to the life OF the child
it would doubtless result in permanent pa
ralysis of the limbs affected.
The lower limbs became helpless after
three DAYS of fever. the fever being appa-
rently exactly similar to that OF malaria.
DR.. Chaplin expressed his belief that the
disease is infectious, and would give it no
name except infantile paralysis.
Tomorrow DR.. Sheedy will take a drop
of blood from each OF his patients for ex
animation to confirm or disproye DR.. Cha
pins diagnosis, and if the disease is found
to be infectious the Board of Health will
quarantine the patients.
The parents of the city. who have not
felt anxious, are now in a state of alarm.
4 child suffering from the disease was
today refused admission to Vassar Broth
ers Hospital and a rumor gained circula-
tion that the hospital doctors had refused
the patient because the disease was infec-
tious. At the hospital is was learned the
child was turned away because under the
age for admission.
