TIE English papers are ju5iiant at the
prospects of the success Of Mn. Cecil
Rhodes visit ia Berlin and his coming
audience with Emperor William, which,
1t is said. promises we'll for the Cape
to-Caira railroad. 1t is remarked that
1t will be a curious meeting between
the prime mover in the Jameson raid
and the author Of the imperial telegram
10 President Kruger of the TTansyaal
republic. Mr.. Rhodes, it is understood
IS prepared to offer Germany freer ac-
cess to the line and to exercise control
over that portion traversing German
territory. Germany would secure i'm
portant concessions and running powers
over the whole Rhodesian railroad sys-
tenn. The National Zeitung anticipates
that Mr.. Rhodes will DE successful, and
contends that his success VIII not be
injurious TO German colonial interests
in Africa. It says, coolly:
Mr. Rhodes is not a faVoTite here,
but German interests are not so idezlti-
cal with those OF the Beers that Ger
many must forever snare the feelings
of the Transvaal toward MIR. Rhodes.
Other German newspapers which were
formerly anti-RhodeS, now approve CT
an arrangement with him respecting
the railroad. 1t is further reported
that Mr.. Rhodes also includes in his
scheme the construction of a railroad
from the Atlantic across German South
west Africa to Rhodesia.

| That prosperous young society of

Brush club, has been especially active
| in it's social enterprises this winter. I
! think 1 once explained that its primary
purpose was to furnish the members a
comfortable and convenient resort for
! intervals between the regular working
hours of the day. But it has all along
| been hosDitable, as well as domestic,
and has not wholly denied its cheer to
people who had not the good fortune to
be of its membership and few even
ings ago it gave an avowed entertain
ment," with formal invitations and
programme, and somewhat more of re-
freshment than it offers at it's ordinary
receptions. 1t was an uncut f3af" en-
tertainment, the set exercises consist
ing in the reading of unpublished writ
ing by certain of its members. 1t is an
ominous phrase usually, that of un
published writings but the thing it
self, as discovered this night at the
Pen and Brush, was altogether pleas
ant. Perhaps the fact that it was so is
yet another proof of the superior tact
of women, for have sat under an I'M
folding of uncut leaves" when the re-
suit was anything but enlivening, and
when the reason for the productions
that We're offered being unpublished was
ony too obvious. The reauers of the
Pen and Brush, by keeping to a certain
simplicity of manner and aim, were
able to escape imparting any such af-
Fiction. Simplicity, indeed, is an all
pervading virtue of the club-its special
study--the desire being to make the
club meet d definite. practical need
with as little expense and irksomeness
to the members as possible. The rooms
are not large, and the cost of furnish
ing them has not been great, and yet
they are pretty and cheerful, and in all
respects sufficient.
Justified by the cordial reception of
his first book, Moran of the Lady
Lefty" Mr.. Frank Norris is now fol-
lowing it with a second, "McTeague, a
Story of San Francisco" There is no
locality of which Mr. Norris has fuller
or deeper impression, l should say,
than San Francisco, although he is
we'll acquainted with good many and
has had experiences in one and another
that could not fail of leaving strong
effects on his mind. He removed to |
California in 1889, when he was a little !
under 20, and although he was often !
away for considerable periods, that re-
NAMED practically his home until last |
year, when he established himself here |
in New York. 1t was in California, |,
therefore. that he first began to look !
about him for literary material. and |
it was there that he began to write. His !
second novel will be found very diff |
ferent from his first, but it has the |
same kind of attraction; it starts an |
interest in the very first line, and holds |
it without pause to the very last, and |
it shows power and keenness in the I
analysis and presentation of character |
that are impossible to an ordinary man. |
But Norris is no ordinary man-you |
have but to look at him. with his tall. |
slight, refined figure, and dark, brood
ing face, to be sure of that. At present, |
