TIMELY BOOK NOTES.

A new play by Ibsen will be pub
hshed about Christmas. Its name has
not yet oeen divulged.
Justin Mccarthy, the historian and
novelist. has just undergone the last of
series of operations for the relief OF
his eyes, and it is now expected that his
sight will be completely restored.
"Ouida" seems to have permanently
retired from exploiting the peccadillos
OF high life, and to have confined her.
self to extracting the essence of art
from the more lowly spheres of life. A
new story from her pen is to be entitled
1.-The Waters of Edera," and is tale of
italian village life.
A volume that will keenly interest a
large and ever-growing number Of read
ers is entitled Lamb and Hazlitt; Fur
Their Letters and Records" by w. Ca
rev Hazlitt, which is announced to be
published in London. These are two
characters in English literature who
may be ranked among its princes and
about whose works no one ever tires.
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon does not re-
gard "1n His Steps" as the best of the
several books he has written and pub
Hshed. The reading public, however,
does not agree with him, and its verdict
is accepted. 1t is commonly supposed
that "ln His Steps" netted its author a
very large sum, but such is not the case.
1t was copyrighted in this country
only, so the author receives no royalty
from England, where it has had the
largest sale. In this country Mr.. Shell
don sought to get his book on the mar
ket so as to sell it at a low price in order
that it would have wide circulation.
The Need OF Fighting.
The two nations of the world which
Of all others are rather fond of consid.
ering themselves as the leaders of civil
ization are the only enlightened coun-
tries at present with wars on their
hands. Perhaps this is an evidence
that the best meaning and fairest deal
ing of nations, like individuals of the
same order, must sometimes fight in
spite of all their good intentions. That
men must persevere and press ever
forward is we'll enough known. The
success of every worthy interest shows
this, and to be always pushing means
inevitably to some time run against
somebody, and then blows, actual or
metaphorical, are apt to follow. After
all, the world loves good fighter al
most as much as it proverbially loves
a lover, and the man who fights his way
ahead, fights for his family's protection
by keeping his life insured, fights sick
ness when it assails him, and finally
fights to his last gasp death itself, dies
a genuine victor. History is full of the
necessity and value of fghting; so, too,
is the Bible, and he who, having fought
the good fight" goes down at last into
the dark valley need have no fear but
that lots of commentator, and perhaps
some more welcome fighting, awaits
him in the city of gold.

ANTITRUST ACTIONS FAIL
0hio's Supreme Court Delivers Blow
at Monnetts Contentious.

Columbus, o., Dec. 1S.-A decision ad-
verse to Attorney General Monnett in
his war on trusts was announced by
the supreme court today in the suit in
custer against elecen insurance com
panies, which it was asserted had
formed a combine to keep up insurance
rates in violation of the antitrust law.
The local representatives of the vari-
Gus companies named as defendants in
the case had entered into such a COM
bination, as asserted by the attorney
general, but the court held that this
allegation in the petition was not sus-
tained by the testimony, and therefore
dismissed the action.
Attorney-GeneraI Monnett sought to
hold the companies responsible for the
acts of their agents. The concerns in
volyed maintained that their agents
were not acting in the capacity of
agents in these matters, and that there
fore the companies could not be held
responsible. The court sustained this
view, and held that the action, if any,
would lie against the local board of
underwriters.
The decision is very sweeping. At
torney-General Monnett says there is
no way of preventing the combinations
from raising and keeping up insurance
if the companies themselves are not to
be amenable to the law. State Insur-
ance Commissioner Matthews is graft
fled with the courts decision, which
sustains his rulings in the case at bar
as well as in other cases.

CONvICTs TO DIG FOR GOLD.
Colorado's Attorney-GeneraI Has a Plan
to Make Money for the State

Denver, Dec. 1S.-Mining for gold un-
der state direction for the benefit of
the state treasury is the scheme sub
mitted today to Governor Thomas by
Attorney General Campbell. If sue
cessful the plan would solve two press
ing problems. 1t would relieve the
state of a financial stringency caused
by debt of more than $3,OOO,OOO and
provide an opportunity for using con-
vict labor without coming into compe-
tition with free labor. In Cripple Creek
the state possesses valuable mining
property. This property is controlled
by the state land board, of which the
governor is chairman.
Mr.. Campbell basing his prediction
upon results obtained in surrounding
mines, thinks that the gold bearing
strata can be reached by sinking from
600 to 1000 feet. One hundred or more
men from the state penitentiary could
be employed in doing the work, which
would thus be accomplished at a slight
expense to the state

PHILIPPINES LEGISLATION

Washington, Dec. 1S.-What the SEN
ate may accomplish in the way of leg
islation for the Philippines during the
present session is problematical, but
that the question will be thoroughly
discussed is indicated by the number of
resolutions bearing upon it, being in
trOduced In opposition to the reten-
ton by the United States of the Philip
pines. two resolutions We're introduced
today-one by Mr.. Tillman of South
Carolina and the other by Mr.. Bacon of
Georgia. Each resolution purposes to
yield the islands to a government to
be established by the Filipinos them
selves.
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama addressed
the senate briefly upon the necessity
of legislation to control trusts, and had
his joint resolution again referred to
the judiciary committee.
Mason of Illinois presented numerous
petitions expressing sympathy with
the South African republics in their
war with Great Britain. Tillman of
South Carolina offered a resolution de-
claring that under the constitution the
federal government has no power to
rule over colonial independencies and
maintaining further that, I'VE are op-
posed to the retention of the Philippine
islands by the United States and it is
our purpose to consent to the independ-
ence of the Filipinos as soon as a sta
BILE government shall be established by
them and to prompt the establishment
of such government we will lend our
friendly assistance" 1t was laid on
the table.
