SAMUEL GoMPERs, president of the

1.-The average mortal knows nothing of
the growth of the labor movement in

are watching it day by day who realize
the marvellous strides it is making.
Those who predict terrible and final
struggle between capital and labor are
wrong. There will be no terrible final
struggle. 1t is a gradual evolution of
conditions, but not one that will result
in revolution

THE statement is made that the health
conditions in the American army under
Gen. Otis have probably never been
equalled in any army in tropical coun-
tries Compared with that of last sum-
mer in Cuba, the comparative immunity
from death or serious illness of the
American troops fighting outside of
Manila seems little short of miraculous.
From the landing of Gen. Anderson's
military expedition near Cavite June
80, last year, up to the report from
Gen. Otis, dated June 8, there have
been only 364 deaths from disease,
although his total force has been 20, 600
men.

THE WORLD OF BOOKS.

+ ever their love for the humor and pa
thos of the old slavery days. Told in
the quaint dialect of an aged colored
man to a young northerner and his
wife, whom poor health has driven to
| a residence in the south, these tales
are full of the superstitions and
strange beliefs upon which negro
stories are usually based.
That the conjure woman with her
power to charm and bewitch figures
prominently in each, is a sufficient rea-
son for using her name as a title, and
! indicates to some extent the general
nature of the book. Keen humor
verging sometimes upon the grotesqUe
the inevitable mingling of the comic
and tragic, the air of ignorance and SUI
perstition which overhangs and envel-
opes each episode reveal the au-
thor's deep and sympathetic study into
the smallest particulars of the life
which he so happily portrays.
Though one is, perhaps, disposed TO
question the ACCESSIBILITY of giving TO
each story a certain sameness of plot,
he cannot, at the same time, refrain
from admiring the genius which can
weave about that plot details so strik-
| ing and original.
! Hugh Gwyeth, a Roundhead Cavalier.
| By Beulah Marie Dix Macmillan
Company, New York.
AS its name implies, this is a tale of
rouudhead and cavalier in the civil
war of England. It is well written and
the interest is admirably sustained
from beginning to end. Although it re-
minds the reader of Waterloos and
Weymans historical romances in its
heroic and gallant spirit, it is far from
| being an imitation. The hero is red
headed young Englishman whose all
legiance is divided by reason Of his
| family connection, between the two
parties, but who ever shows himself
courageous. unselfish and. truth-loving.

And Then Came Spring: A story of
moods. BY Carrot Van Arkel. Her
rick & Co, New York.
| This bright novelette, wears for IL
tie a gem from the Rubaiyat of Omar,
4 but this is the only foreign thing about
it. The author belongs to the whole
some American school of realists.
Through the book, nevertheless, runs
! a charming thread of romance. r pa
| chelor artist living as a recluse and
/ engulfed in dilettante approximation
at thirty-one years of age, is visited
with memories of a little maiden nam
/ ed Clara, his playmate of twenty odd
/ years ago, who ever since has been out
| of his sight and ken. In his impress
! sionable loneliness he becomes be-
witched by the magic of this remem-
brance, and, hardly knowing why he
goes to seek Clara of today, if haply
/ he may find her. The conversation in
the story is sprightly and the charac-
ter analysis pitiless. The scene alter
mates between the New York of the
| Knickerbocker families and western
pennsylvania. The cover adapted from
a design by the author is attractive
! and original.
