A NEW NOVEL BY DR.. BARRY.

The two Standards. BY William Bar
ry Century company.
Twelve years ago a novel appeared
under the title of 1.-THE new antigone,"
which, dealing as it did with free love
and the sancity of the marriage bond,
anarchy, and the new" woman, made
a strong appeal to cultivate readers,
both in England and the United States.
It was published anonymously, but the
author was discovered to be DR.. Will
liam Barry, an Irish Roman Catholic
priest, resident in England, who gives
much of his time to literary work, since
numerous articles by him have appear
ed in the Dublin Review, the Quarterly
Review, the Bookman and other maya
zines, and who visited America some
years ago on a lecture tour, which in
cIuded New York, Chicago, Washing
ton and Baltimore. People have Won
dered why DR.. Barry never cared to
follow up his first success. Last month
saw the publication of a second novel
by him, this time with his name on the
title page.
While "The Two Standards shows
the same passionate force and daring
treatment as its predecessor, and while
the same intense and glowing diction
=
may be doubted whether the author has
not attempted too much to be very eff
fective with any one thing. The central
thought of the novel is the development
of the soul of Marion Greystoke, a ro-
mantle, eager English girl, the daughter
of a country curate who has ruined
himself by specializing. To save his
family from disgrace and pauperism,
Marian marries middle-aged king of
finance, man of the Hooley stamp.
Just before the birth of their child, Ma
rian discovers by chance an old and dis
honorable love affair of her husbands
and this so works upon her magma
ton that when the son and heir for
longed is born, it is only to be laid in his
little grave. Disappointment and bust
ness troubles combine to ALLEVIATE Lucas
Harland still farther from his wife, and
she falling in love with a cultivated
and idealstic composer. runs away with
him to America, meaning to obtain a
divorce in this free and easy land of
ours, and then to marry him. Providen-
TALLY this plan Is frustrated Girard
Elven remains in England i'm a Roman
Catholic retreat while Marian seeks
her fortune alone in New York and Chi
cago, accompanied only by passe Ital-
ian operate singer, who she afterward
discover to be the old love of her hus-
band.
Meanwhile, affairs have been going
badly with the magnate, whose fortune
crumbles away, leaving him not only
penniess. but a criminal, sentenced TO
five years of penal servitude. When at
last he passes away, ii is to Join the
hands Of Elven and Marian.
Such is a poor skeleton Of the plot

which, in DR.. Barry's hands, is clothed
with life and adorned with various re-
llg1ons and social problems whose pres
ence adds to the Importance of the now
ell while it undeniably distract'S the
readers attention. Divorce and the
second marriages of divorced persons
is, evidently, a sore subject with the
author; the paralyZing and stunning eff
feet upon the soul of a hard, narrow
sectarianism is another abuse at which
he tilts half way through the book. The
relation of art to the spiritual life, to
public morals, and to the life of the ar
list is very interestingly handled, serv-
ing almost as a secondary motive. In
cldentally, DR.. Barry shows familiarity
with number OF phrases of modern
life which are not commonly supposed
to form part of a clergyman's stock in
trade, such as the elaborate machinery
OF the stage and the intrigues of the
stock market
The Two Standards, which give their
meme to the book, appear to be the two
standards of morals; the one, an easy,
lax Worldliness that finds its own pleas
ure the end of existence; the other, an
enlightened, liberal order of life, which
refusing no element that makes for
beauty, yet denies it's allegiance to the
pretty and the ignoble. The book is ex-
tremely interesting in parts but it lacks
unity and sometimes warrants the be-
lief that there has been deliberate pad
ding.

WAS HE RIGHT OR WRONG p

The following stanZa in a poem by
Maurice Thompson appeared in a recent
issue OF The Independent:
she lifts her head and listens, as waking
from a dream,
Her great jaw set, her claws outspread,
her lion eyes ageam;
The voice is deep as thunder on the far
horizon rim,
And up the mother spoke and said; 1T

A few days later Stephenson Browne of
Boston was moved to take exception 70

The following day the Times printed
two more protests apropos Of MIR. Thomp-
son and his critic:
whatever induced you TO print Mr.
Browne Of Boston's slur on the objective

THE MONTHS MAGAZINES

THE White Mans Burden" gives the
keynote of the American Monthly Re
view of Reviews for March. The edi-
tor, in THE Progress of the World, .
discusses the Philippine situation and
American prospects in those islands,
as well as the bearings of the ratifica-
ton of the Spanish treaty on the flu
ture of the Filipinos. Col. William
Conant Church, editor of the Army and
Navy Journal, contributes a sketch of
Gen. Elwell S. Otis. whose efficiency
in subjugating the refractory followers
Of Aguinaldo is winning the admiration
of the world. There are two articles
on Philippine native types and char
acteristics. one of which was written
by Senior Caro- Mora, editor of the
Voz Espanola of Manila. These arti-
cles are both illustrated from a remark
able series of photographs now pub
lished for the first time. DR.. William
Hayes Ward, who has recently return
ed from an extended journey through
Porto Rico, contributes an article on
present-day conditions in that island,
with special reference to the effect of
American occupation on the welfare of
the people. Several Of the young Gu
ban leaders in the reconstruction of
their country, are sketched by George
Reno. This number Of the Review
also contains articles on the late Presi-
dent Faure Of France, on IAN American
farmers Balance-Sheet for 1898" and
on characteristics and possibilities of
middle-western literature"

MODIFIED THEIR REQUEST
UNIVERSITY REGENTS NOW ASK
FOR ONLY So, 900.
Auditor Richards Says He VIII Not
Even Issue a Warrant For That
Sum Until Work Has Been Done.

Another chapter in the controversy
between the university regents and
Auditor Richards over the payment of
the legislative appropriation for the
new university came to light yesterday.
Auditor Richards received from the
board a copy Of some resolutions re-
Gently adopted.
The resolutions were exceedingly pa
cific in their verbiage. They called at
tention to the refusal by the auditor to
issue the five warrants for $4,000 each,
as requested some time ago, and stated
that the regents had seen the wisdom
of the auditors action.
1t was asserted, however, that it
would be impossible to wait until the
beginning of the succeeding month in
order to carry on and fully execute the
things required to be done. In view of
this, the auditor was requested 10 draw
a warrant for the comparatively trifiing
amount of $1,000, SO that the board
might have some working capital
Auditor Richards smiled broadly
when he read the resolutions. In re-
ply to a question, he said: Il have
promised the regents that l would give
their request some consideration.
think, however, that you may safely
say the warrant will not be issued.
In view of the attorney generals
opinion on the subject, I don't think
can see my way clear 10 give the reg
ents $1,000 or any other sum, unless
vouchers are produced showing actual
work done. This is the rule laid down
for my guidance in drawing warrants
for other state institutions, and l do
not see how 1 can make an exception
in this case"

DR., BROWNS EASTERN TRIP
WENT TO FIND PRESIDENT FOR
SALT LAKE COLLEGE.
Will Not Be Known For a Month
Whether Dr.. Frederick Noble Will
Accept.

DIR. Clarence T. Brown of the First
Congregational church returned from
his vacation yesterday, looking very
much benefited by the change and rest
that he has enjoyed. DR.. Brown went
east in July. leaving Rev. Elmer I.
Goshen of Chicago in charge of his par
1sh. He expects to. go east again in
the course of a couple of weeks to at
tend the sessions of the international
council of the Congregational church.
which meets in Boston Sept. 21-2S DR..
Brown is the delegate from Utah to
the council. The sessions will continue
through the entire week, and questions
or great Importance to the Congrega-
tional church will be discussed. Meet
ings Of the council are held but once in
ten years, the last one occurring in
London in 1889.
Although DIR. Browns trip was pri-
marily one for. pleasure, he managed to
do good deal of work for the church
in this state between times.
DR.. Brown stated that his principal
mission while in the east was the work
he had on hand for the Salt Lake COL
lege. L went east to find a president
and i hope We will secure the man that
Utah needs. The position has been Of
fered to DR.. Frederick Noble of Chi
cago, and it is our earnest wish that
he will accept the charge"
DR.. Noble is an educator of recog-
niZed ability, as we'll as a pastor Of
one of the larger Chicago churches. A
great deal Of pressure is being brought
to bear to secure his acceptance of the
of the college, but it will not
be known for a month whether he can
come to Salt Lake or not.

but it is. morally certain that within
the next year the foundation for this
Catholic college will be laid in the
beautiful grounds on the east bench.
The first building of the Sheldon
Jackson college of the Presbyterian
church is planned to cost $4,000 and
those most deeply interested in it as
sert that that project will be crowded
to completion with all possible energy.
Here are education, religion and
philanthropy going hand-in-hand with
the other forces that are laying the
foundation of a great city-a seat of
learning and culture as well as a COM
mercial center.
Taking a very conservative estimate
of the cost not less than $1,000,000 is
now being expended on these buildings
a good showing for a small city just
emerging from hard times. This does
not take into consideration the bust
ness blocks going up; the many fine
residences planned and in course of
construction and the innumerable small
homes going up in every part of the
city.

kindly remembered by the fraternity

PEARLS FOR A FAIR WOMAN
SALT PALACE TO GIVE AWAY
HISTORIC JEWELS.
Gems to Be Given In Voting Con-
test to Handsomest Woman In
Utah-Second and Third Prizes.

1t will probably be surprise TO the
people of Salt Lake City to hear that
the beautiful and historic set of pearls
that has been in the window Of Ley
son & Co. during the last three weeks,
has been purchased by the Salt Palace
association and will be given away by
popular ballot to the most beautiful
woman in the state of Utah, the COM
petition to be open to any woman from
any city or town in the state.
When Mr.. Davis the owner of the
pearls. came to Salt Lake City he had
no idea of disposing of this set, and
had refused several offers of $4,000 for
them. But the Salt Palace association,
being desirous of doing something to
increase their attendance at the Palace
grounds, made Mr.. Davis an offer that.
with some hesitation, he accepted, and
the set will now be given away, with
two other valuable prizes, to the three
most beautiful women in the state.
Every entrance to the grounds will
entitle the holder of a. ticket TO one bal
lot, and extra ballots can be purchased
at 10 cents each. The pearls. IL 900 in
number. are most exquisiteiy mounted
on mother of pearl. first being drawn
together with white horse hair. the
manner of fixing them being among the
lost arts. They were originally the
property of Queen Hortense of Hol-
land, mother of the last emperor Of
France, Napoleon III.
While the exact figures paid by the
Salt Palace association for this set
cannot be learned, it is understood that
a large figure has been paid for them.
1T is the intention of the manage
ment to have the contest open to the
entire state, so as to bring forward the
most cultured and beautiful ladies'.
Many an envious eye has been cast on
this set and il will be a source OF much
pleasure and qualification to the people
of Utah to know that so historic set
will remain within the state.
The other two prizes are art books,
Editions de Lutte, worth respectively
$500 and $500, and it is anticipated that
the largest vote ever cast in the state
will compete for the most beautiful
woman in Utah.

Three Roads Want to Come to Sal
Lake.
WILL BID FOR FRANCHISE
THE UTAH & wYoMINGs WILL
SOON BE SOLD.
Is Said That the Burlington and the
Chicago 6 Northwestern Are
Two Of the Roads That Desire a
Terminal Here-A Third Large
Road Said to Be In the Fight.

Salt Lake City's future as a great
railroad center is becoming brighter
with each succeeding year. From one
OF the latest moves that has been made
in railroad circles it would appear that
after all there is considerable truth in
the frequently revived rumor that some
large road will soon purchase a right
OF way into this city. 1t was learned
from reliable sources yesterday that
the purchase of the right of way
through immigration canyon by either
the Burlington, the Chicago & North
western or still another large road may
take place in the near future. This
means nothing less than that the fran
chlse of the Utah & Wyoming railroad
will shortly be placed upon the market,
and 1t is reported that the two Dads
named, with possibly another, will be-
come bidders for the same.
Major Edmund Wilkes, who Is one
OF the directors of the Utah & Wyom-
ing line, which has the right of way
through immigration canyon, minated
yesterday that the franchise of the
road would shortly be upon the mar
ket, to be sold to the highest bidder
He would not discuss the proposed sale
in detail, but said that at present his
company was simply waiting to have
it's abstract of title made clear. He
stated that the claims of his line were
continuous and that the company held
records for all of the right of way, but
that it was waiting to have the records
certified to by the officers of the va
rious counties through which the line
runs.
Major Wilkes would not say positive
ly which lines would bid for the fran
chise, but whe7 the Burlington and
Chicago & Northwestern were men,
toned he stated that there might also
be still another line. The name of the
third road he refused to disclose. AS to-
the exact time when the franchise of
the Utah & Wyoming will be placel
upon the market. Major Wilkes refused
to say. However, he admitted that it
would be at no very distant date.
