GERMAN LITERATURE.
Hts Progress In World Popularity i'm n
Century.

The progress made by German philoso-
ply and literature in thu worlds good
opinion since Wordsworth and Coieridge
visited North Germany in. September
179S-- Coleridge remaining there nine
months, while the homesick Wordsworth
returned sooner,-has been truly remark
able. At that time Taylor of Norwich
and Walter Scott knew something Of
German poetry,--but the language was
almost as, strange to England and
America as Copiic isnow. It was in 1898
that Henry Mackenzie. the "Man,of Feel
ing" excited. Scutt's interest in Goethe
by paper read to an Edinburgh club on
German literature; and before 1850 Scott
had published translations from Goethe.
Buerger, Q O. Schiller was more to
Coleridees taste and he translated
"Wallenstein" for Longmans in 1870 1t
was published in 1870 In London, the
version male from manuscript copy
which Schiller had furnished for trans
luton in England but was failure in
peouniary point OF view. so little did
German poetry interest England then.
This may have been IN part owing: to the
dicule THO TN on German plays bv Cam
ing in tie Anti-Jaeobin, Published In the
same year (1798) In which Scott translate

HEROIC MEASURES.
In Case of No Rain, City Officials viii
Use Pumps to Relieve the Drouth.

In Case of No Rain, City Official Is viii
Use Pumps to Relieve the Drouth.
In case of a continuance of the pres
ent drouth, Water Commissioner Bra
dy is preparing to take extreme meas
ures to meet the requirements. At
present there is a two months supply
in the reservoirs, providing there is no
rain for that length of time In event
of a sudden freeze, much of the water
supply would be cut off and some
measures would have to be adopted to
meet the demand
While heavy rains may make up for
the deficiency, officials of the water de-
partment are looking ahead, and with
the idea of having to pump from some
other source have brought out the old
pumps used more than a score of years
ago, which will be used again in case
of an emergency. The pumps have a
capacity of from 10000 to 100000
gallons day, and if necessary can be
placed at work, forcing water into the
mains and reservoirs of the city from
other than the regular ones.
1t is estimated that the mills and
other manufacturing institutions have
used upward of 100000 gallons more
than usual the past year on account
of the shortage of water from other
supplies, and this has cut into the city
supply

MIR. DOOLEY IN THE HEARTS OF
HIS COUNTRYMEN."

Mr. Dooley in the Hearts of His
Countrymen" is fully as entertaining
as Mr.. Dooley in Peace and in War"
and in many other situations Besides
many short sketches Mr.. Dooley de-
votes five chapters to a discussion of
the Dreyfus case, hoping, he says in
his preface, that he may open the
eyes of France to the necessity of con-
Quoting her trials, parliamentary ses-
sions, and other debates in language
more generally understood in New York
and London"
The sketches touch on every subject
from expansion to the divided skirt
and each one is treated in Mr.. Dooleys
wise philosophical manner, which is
half good-natured humor and half
sharp sarcasm. One of the most en-
Pertaining is "A Visit to Jekyl Island"
which describes meeting between
Tom Reed and William Mckinley, and
in which the two distinguished gentle
men are made to say: Say, Tom
Reed, Take he says this silver
mounted bottle iv Broomo-caffeen he
says, an think iv me-, he says. I
WILL says Mack. Aren't We tired iv
ye'er long journeys he says. Wud-
dent We like to take bath in the shark
pond before We go?' ;"
The description of the Dreyfus case
is a clever parody on the Famous trial.
The newspaper correspondents come in
for a. share of the irony of which the
following is a fair sample: "Pm the
correspondent iv TIL Georgia Daily
Lyncher an can't understand a wur-
rud We say. I've lost me dictionary.
TIL people Nv tn state iv Georgia mus
not be deprived Nv their information
about tn scand-lous conduct Nv this in
famous coort' . Four chapters of such
burlesque grow little tiresome, how
ever.
Some of the topics of the day which
are discussed are "Rudyard Kipling,"
THE grip" when the trust is at
work" Grand opera" THE ruling
class" Prosperity" THE perform
ances of Lieutenant Hobson,' and
"Cyrano de Bergerac." OF Rudyard
Kipling, Mr.. Dooley says: "No cor
storage pothry FIR Kipling. Ivrything
fr-resh an up-to-date. All lays laid
this mornin'."

CANDIDATES MEET.
Democratic Standard Bearers Hear En-
couragine Reports.


Members of the democratic city com
mittee and candidates at the coming
election met at democratic headouar-
tiers last night and talked over the sit
uation in the endeavor to figure out a
means whereby they may add to their
strength in the coming struggle. John
A. Thayer, the democratic candidate
for mayor, and most of the aldermanic
and common council aspirants were
present and all talked in a most en-
couraging manner of the big demo-
cratic vote to be polled
Thomas F. Harvey, candidate for the
common council in ward s. made a
short address, in which he stated that
the conditions look most favorable for
the election of two democrats to the
common council from his ward. The
meeting adjourned until Tuesday night
at o'clock
After the meeting there was consid-
cradle in the way of informal discus
sion among candidates and members
of the committee as to the chances of
the several candidates. There seems. a
general sentiment that Philip j. O'Con-
nell and James F. Carberry will be
elected without much effort, but there
is a diversity of opinion on the third
man. Tt is said that John B. Ratigan
will receive upward of 1000 republican
votes, which would land him on the
safe side, but the general opinion ex-
pressed last night was that Edward ].
McMahon would be the third demo-
crat.
