most as soon as he gained residence in the
state he was nominated for the United States
senate by the Democrats, and came within
one or two votes of an election.
The general had always been a bachelor
before going to California, but he surrendered

married. Not being willing to remain until
the next senatorial election, he migrated Is

reconstruction period, and he being a Dem

counting him out, after which event very lit
tie was heard of the general for some years.
Wnen he appeared on the lecture platform
olscourslng on Mexico. This venture was
not much Of success. and the general was
reputed to be quite broken up financially.
His next appearance was at Washington a.

period In hts career that his luck returned
and ne became famous in direction that
no other man in the United States has ever
reached. A vacancy occurred in the office
OF United States senator from Missouri, either
by death or some other reason, and the gov

the doorkeeper, and comforting upon him the
peculiar and conspicuous distinction of being

This is the cheerful prediction that Prof
Rudolph Falb, of Vienna, noted scientist
and world-renowned authority on earth
auakes and meteorological conditions, in
March, 1894, forwarded to the Imperial
Academy of Science at Vienna. Probably
nothing more would have been heard of the
prediction if the meteorological condition Of
the latter part of January and early part
of February of this year had not correspond
ed with Prof. Falb's prediction, and the
scientific journals of Europe are, in conse-
quence, giving Prof. Fab and his prediction
a great deal of attention.
While Prof. Falb is, by many scientists,
considered a Crank his predictions on
seismic disturbances have been remarkably
fulfilled. AS for instance, the great earth
quake at Zante in 1898, he, several days be-
fore the earthquake occurred, sent warning
to the press all over Europe. Again, in
March, 1893, he was invited to lecture be-
fore the Tourist club, of Vienna, on the
subject of earthquakes, but, while accept
ing the invitation, postponed the lecture un-
til April 10, as earthquake would take
place about that time and he would prefer
to include the results of his investigation
of this earthquake in his lecture.
And. as the German proverb has it, HAS
on April 8, and was felt all over Southern
Hungary and did much damage.
Many incidents like these could be quoted,
where predictions have been made one to
two years in advance and been fulfilled.

LITERARY COMMENT

One of the most interesting literary an
nouncements that We can make is that Chas-
Dudley Warner has written new novel.
1t is entitled THAT Fortune, and Is the
third in a trilogy, being a sequel to "A Lit
tie Journey in the World and ''The Golden
House. The three novels taken together
will constitute study of contemporary New
York through what is equivalent to three
generations of social and money evolution.
Save for a continuation of the principal char
acters, THAT Fortune" Is entirely independ-
ent of the other two The novel is to be is

''Miss hume of JAPAN
BY Onoto Watanna. Cloth. PIP. 30. Price.

To come upon a romance written by
Japanese woman is in itself suffi-
GENTLY novel to cause one to cease the
aimless tumbling about of books and
to inquire into the nature of the story.
1t is a Japanese American romance,
wherein the Mongol and the Caucasian
touch hearts and strike fire! In spite
of the unyielding mold of hoary insti-
tutions, the love of Orientals leaps
without the courtesy of question to the
gay, free-spirited Occidentals.
But the crossed traditions, the af-
fronted customs and the untoward
circumstances get in their vindictive
work and claim their need of tragedy.
While no moral is written into the
story. nevertheless the tale tells it's
own lesson
