Miss Wilson is creating a great sensa-
ton in American society, a fact which
is attributed as much to her novel cos
tunes as to her extraordinary beauty.
One of the smartest of her wraps is
tight fitting, three-quaTters coat made
of English red Venetian cloth. The
seams are piped with heavy black satin
and the lining is of the same material
in the vivid red shade. The coat rounds
away sharply at the front beginning at
the waistline and is worn with a bright
plaid skirt of English red and black.
The neck of the wrap is finished with
a small fiat collar over which is fast
ened collarette of black velvet clasp
ed with a jeWeled buckle. Below the
buckle are two broad ends edged with
red chiffon.
small oddly shaped muff is carried
by the young woman, made of velvet
and trimmed with chiffon and fox's
head, the eyes of which are made OF
genuine topaz. The hat is a small red
toque trimmed with feathers and Eng
lish red velvet.

mense forest fires, miles in extent, are
raging in the mountains near here.
Millions Of feet of timber are being
burned and property is in imminent
danger They had to fight to keep the
fire out of Hendricks, three miles from
here, and it looks as if the same would
have to be done here. The smoke, like
a dense fog, hangs over the town, and
at night the miles of blazing timber is
a grand scene.

The problem with which this book Is

of view is scientific rather than emo

entirely different from most novels OF
this character. 1t is worthy of care

IL such an action was justifiable.
Survivors of the Windsor hotel fire
say that before the alarm was sounded
the rooms and halls swarmed with
dozens of murderous pugs bent on
robbery who seemed to know just
where valuables were kept and Sc
cured them. 1t is surmised on ac.
count of their simultaneous and ap-
parently concerted appearance that
the fire was planned and set by these
men. While men and women and
children were shrieking and jumping
from windows the men kept a way of
escape open and Systematically plum
dered the rooms of the wealthy guests
who patronized this hotel. Among
the horrible memories Of those who
escaped are the meetings with these
devils with shining eyes of greed and
the evident determination to club
anybody who should interfere with
their quest. There can be no cer-
tainty, but it is supposed that some of
the panic stricken women who found

their mistake. If Zola had written
such a tale he would be promptly con-
demned for pessimism and distorted

ers have ever had the good fortune
and good taste TO employ. 1t is to her
large power of appreciation and in.
depreciation to less gifted people that
she owes her distinguished reputation
as a dramatic critic. In this capacity,
feeling the dearth of real talent and
the disprOpOrtionate weight of COM
mOnplaceness which discOurages many
critics: | think Miss Gather is apt to
forgive errant and erring genius too
freely.
Upon reading the c 'itique upon Kip
ling which appeared in The Courier of
March fourth. Mr.. Frank Mcclure, one
of the publishers of the Days Work,
wrote Miss Gather letter in which he
said it was the best newspaper criti-
cism of the book he had seen. 1t Is
perhaps unprOfessional for the pub
Usher of paper or a magazine either
to praise or blame any of his regular
contributors, except In the advertis.
ing department., but so long as The
Courier is neither great daily" nor
a magazine, nor a member OF any
editorial association, a conviction of
unprofessOnalSm sentences nobody
connected with the paper to any par
ticular penalty. Consequently these
pages are free from any conventional
restrictions.
Speaking Of the newspaper crti-
cisms upon her work, Miss Blanche
Walsh said to Miss Gather that some.
body on the Lincoln Journal had
called her work ''lmmaturc.' and that
it was such funny piece Of work al.
tOget she had cut 1t out and sent
it to her family. 1t is the same critic
who "tenderly cOmmiserated Mr.. Sol
Smith Russell because the cold and
cruel east would have none of him
and in naughty rhetorical flight
added: He is Of the west. he belongs
tous'" This in spite Of the fact that
Mr.. Russell plays to standing room
only even in New York. Destructive
critics are apt to be very ignor-
ant and overwhelmingly self satisfied .
If they ever get within sight Of the
gates Of pearl they will call up what
they suppose to be an architectural
expression and try to remember what
they have been laboriously taught on
the subject, and very likely call them
"crude.' Only the critic whose lips

that presented Mr.. Murphy's view and
not my own. However. very much bet

Hinton, who wrote the sympathetic
memoir Of Realf which appears in the
published volumn of his works, is a tenn.
perance reformer and q writer on that
radical temperance organ, The Voice.
Francis Murphy, who certainly needs no
certificate OF character wherever his
great work has been heard of, says of
Realf that Ibis weaknesses, grave as they
were, to those who knew him best seemed
small beside his noble qualities. Now
one Of three things must be true: either

Shortly after my interview with Murphy
was published, she turned up, that ter

dreaded in every newspaper office in
Pittsburg, and whose face, by her long
cherishing of one fierce passion, has be.
come veritable mask of hate. It was

His day was just begun,
the east still red with dawn;
His earthly path still wet
with sparkling dew,
His sky was bright with hope awhile
but all Is gone,
And solemn darkness shrouds
the heavenly blue.
He sought the higher levels
of this life to find,
And through the mists he
saw his ideals gleam
And strove to reach them.
leaving sordid things behind;
Till came the end of all
his golden dream.
The last great quietness
hath fallen like the dark
Across the brilliant day
Of his young life;
The cruel shaft of death
hath hit the shining mark
And stilled the hero
in the battle strife.
And yet we hope his eyes
behold brighter day
The like of which we mortale
ne'er have seen;
And that his feet now press
smooth and thornless path,
And that his brow is wreathed
with fadeless green.

American military rule in Cuba has
made Havana habitable and actually
cleansed politics. Harper's Weekly, a
consistent opponent from the first to
American interference with Spanish
rule in Cuba, admits that "the pOliti.

vailing IN the islands were such that
they cannot be compared with any
