NEGLECTED CHILDREN.
The Father Indifferent and the
Mother q Beer Victim.

Dan Healy, officer Of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
yesterday took possession of the two
young children of Mrs. Woods, who re-
sides at S13 I street, until such time
as provision may be made for their
proper care.
Healy states that the mother of the
children got drunk on Tuesday last and
left her children to shift for themselves.
The little ones, aged and 2 years, re-
spectively, were taken in by Mrs. Schri-
Der, who lives near who cared for them
until Healy relieved her of her charge.
Healy says he has several times
warned Mrs. Woods that unless she
gave proper attention to her children
trouble would follow. The father of
the children, he says, is employed in
local livery stable, and since his wife
left he had made no provisions for the
children. The matter will be taken
before the courts

and saw much INDISPENSABLE suffering. He
was in position to judge as to the motives
and the resources of the Cuban leaders be-

Musgrave is an Englishman and has the
spirit of an adventurer. He assuredly con-

WILLIAM COwPER. BY Marion Hariand New
York: G. p. Putnams Sons Washington:
Woodward & Lothrop.
This is a time for biography. 1t appears
in all forms and from all pens. Some of it
is dilletante, some of it serious and sin
cere. Some of it is imperfect and some of
it thorough All of it reflects generally
commendable state of the literary mood of
the people, based upon a desire to study
the lives of the great writers of the past
and perhaps to draw inspiration from them.
1t may be questioned how much genuine
inspiration. is to be drawn from some of
the intimate studies of authors lives which
have been given. Even in this volume,
from the pen of writer of unusual power
of analysis and presentation, there are
tendencies to be too explicit in places and
to point to unnecessary minutiae. Cowpers
life, however, is not sufficiently well known
by the average reader, and it may be well
that his '.hearthStone" has been visited by
so competent a scribe and his writings SO
sincerely annotated.
RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OLD MUSICIAN. BY
Thomas Ryan of the Mendelssehn Quihtette
Club. Boston. New York: l. z, puttou x Co.
Washington Vim. Ballantyne & Sons.
Mr. Ryan writes refreshingly of a musical
period which embraces many brilliant
names and notable advances in the art in
America. His personal acquaintance with
the musicians of this country has been
large and his own travels on musical err
rands have been extended. His book en-
braces encounters of various sorts with
such personage as John Brougham Jun
ius Brutus Booth, Sivori, Arditi. Julien,
Carl Zerrahn, Ole Bull, Charlotte Cushman,
Annie Louise Cary, Oliver Ditson, Jenny
Lind, Jonas Chickering, P. S. Gilmore,
Wieniawski, Rubinstein, Christine Nilsson
and Parepa Rosa. Consequently his volume
is in a measure a musical history of east
ern America.

TRAPPING WITH TRAMI'S; Studies and sketches G1s
PREDATORY note by Andrew p White. New
York: The Century Company. Washington
Brentano's
Mr.. Flynts contributions TO the new So
cio,ogy have been heartily recognized by
many of the leading investigators in that
science. He went at the problem at first
hand, living with his subjects, suffering
with them. trampng with them. Not only
in the United States, but throughout Eu-
rope. he went among the vagabonds, as one
If them. and thus became acquainted with
their WAYS and PHILOSOPHERS. The result is
A clearer view of tramp life than has ever
before bean permitted Mr.. Flynt did not
assume this disaereeable role merely to ap-
preciate a remote condition, but to ascer-
tain. if possible, the causes which underlle
the very prevalent vagabondage in this
country and perhaps remedies to cure IL.
The conclusion to be reached is that there
are very many causes and perhaps no an.
solute cure But Mr.. Fiynt believes that
the tramp evil can be materially abated.
The railroads, for instance, might follow
the example set by one corporation, IN the
employ of which Mr.. Flynt tramped for a
season and organize such effective police
corps that the roadsters will ind thelr
highways Of travel practically closed. When
the tramps can no longer MT from place
to place with the ease and aimoSt the speed
to go to work in large numbers or starVe-
More rigorous uniform laws to punish these
deniZens of freight cars and the roads
would help to rescue them from lire Oh
uselessness More care in individual char
ity would aid. The tramp represents an
evil of temperament rather than of eco
nomic conditions. 1t Is at present compar-
atively easy for a shrewd fellow to live
without working. and this ease tempts the
naturally idle, the restless. the fugitive and
often the criminal Thus. the great army
of American tramps which the author
places at about 6o,OD, Is growing con-
stantly, and will continue to grow. until the
conditions which attract them are changed
nv a better organization of the charity
methods and a more rigorous enforcement
of the laws.

THE NAVAL OBsERyAT
Recommendations for Increasing the
value of the Institution.

The president pro TEN of the Senate has
received the report of the board of visitors
to the United States naval observatory for
the year 1899 This report is referred to in
the annual report of the Secretary of the
Navy. The board of visitors recommends
important legislation to promote the use
fulness Of the United States naval observa-
tory. The board is composed of the follow
ing: VIM. Z. Chandler, A. G. Dayton, Ed
ward c. Pickering. George c. Comstock
and George E. Hale The. report was made
in accordance with Instructions given June
80 1899, by Secretary Long.
The board states that the naval Oh
servatory has long ceased to have any
reference to any direct requirement of the
naval service, but because of great di-
4yerSity of views to the department to
which it should be transferred the board
thinks it is inexpedient at the present time
to further consider the subject of such
transfer The board thinks the work of
the observatory would be best subserved
with a professional astronomer as its re-
sponsibie director It recommends that
there shall be a director. of the Nautical
Almanac, appointed by the President anu
with the advice and consent of the Senate;
also that provision Se!anade for the con-
tinuance of the ,adHins Ole, series of memoirs
published under the title. Professional
Papers of American Epheris and Nautical
The criticism frequently and forcibly
urged against the administration of the
naval observatory, the board says, is that
Its astronomical work has not been prose-
cuted with that yigor and continuity of
purpose which should be shown in a ma
tional observatory. In order to correct this
defect the board recommends that the
President appoint a board of nine visitors
to the naval observatory from persons not
officers of the United States, six of them to
be astronomers of high professional stand
ing and three eminent citizens of the
United States. These appointments shall
be for three years without compensat ton.
1t shall be the duty of this board of visit
crs to submit to the Secretary of the Navy
regulations prescribing the scope of the
astronomical and other resea riches of the
naval observatory and the duty of its staff
with reference thereto
The board heartily indorses the recon-
mendation of the Secretary of the Navy in
his report for 1897 that the statute au-
thorizing the appointment of professors of
mathematics be so amended that, without
disturbing those now holding office, which
would be unjust to them, no further ap-
pointnents shall be made to the staff oe
the naval observatory. The board dsap-
proves the compulsory retirement of as
tronomers al the age of sixty-two years.
1T also recommends that there should be
quarters near the observato tory grounds for
members OF the astronomical staff rsgu-
larry assigned to night work

an excuse for voting for the bill that he
