tears of comedy and pathos the equal Of
Hood. There is none with the subtle deli
cacy, the aerial footstep, the famelike mo-
ton of Shelley; none with the amplitude,
sweep and passion, with the strength and
beauty, the courage and royal recklessness
of Byron.
"The novelists of our day are not the
equals of Dickens. In my judgment. he
wrote the greatest of all novels-'The Tale
of Two Cities Its philosophy is perfect.
The characters stand out like living stat
ues. In its pages you find the blood and
flame, the ferocity and self-sacrifice OF the
French revolution.
ITO me the three greatest novels are
The Tale Of Two Cities by Dickens; Les
Miserables,' by Hugo, and 'Ariadne,' by
Ouida. The last is the greatest living
writer OF fiction. but some Of her books
do not like.
Most novelists of our time write good
stories. They are ingenious, the charac-
tiers are well drawn, but they lack life
energy. They appear not to act for them
selves. impelled by inner force. but to be
pushed and pulled.
when we compare the literature OF the
first half of the century with that OF the
last. we are compelled to say that the last
taken az whole, is better"

An Embarrassing Incident.


There's a young man on the South side
who is out with gun on still hunt for
the meanest man in Chicago, and Hyde
Parke society people are daily expecting
tragedy. When the shooting occurs this
is the story the newspapers will tell:
Mr.. b had long sought the hand of
certain Hyde Park belle. AS far as his
salary would permit, Mr.. B sent beau
tiful bouquets and many pretty presents
riage rides. and balls were weekly en-
joyed by the pretty girl. and it was said
they were soon to be married.
But it was the old, old story of . faith
full, loving man and tickle woman. The
new man was handsome and clever, and he
had little trouble in winning the fair one
to his side. Mr.. B. continued to call,
however. and the two suitors frequently
met in the parlor or hall to glare at each
other.
One afternoon last week the young lady
was engaged in writing out invitations for
ball which was given at her home Fri
day evening, when the new suitor CHANGED
to call. He soon Joined the pretty girl in
her task Of making out invitations.
When he came to the name of Mr.. b
on the list an evil thought struck him. He
said nothing to the young lady, but there
was a wicked gleam in his eyes as he
changed the wording of the invitation, and
villainous smile crept to his lips.
''You are cordially invited to attend a
masquerade ball." read Mr.. B. the fol-
lowing day. and he straightway made plans
to capture the first prize in a tramp's cos
tune. His entire weeks salary went to
the costumer. and when he alighted in
front Of the young lady's house on the
night Of the ball he looked perfect hobo
He walked up the front stairs and entered
the ballroom with the regulation tramp's
limp.
No soonee had he passed through the
door, however, than he saw his awful
mistake. The dancers were in elegant
evening dress. 1t was not a masquerade
ball at ALL
So perfect was Mr.. B1's impersona-
tion Of the tramp that he was not recog-
nized and the butler showed him out.

A Joke on brown.
From the Detroit Free Press. }


Brown entered his Office yesterday
morning briskly and passed a CHEEKY
greeting to the small army OF clerks.
He rolled up the cover of his desk and
the first thing that met his eye was a
folded bit of paper with his name on the
outside. 1t had been pushed through the
slit at the end of the desk. Brown un-
folded the sheet and read.
Mr.. Brown, please call up 14oo.'
Brown scratched his head thougttfully.
Fourteen hundred, fourteen hundred,
he muttered; there seems to be some
thing familiar about that number.
George" he called to the Office boy, "do
you remember who put this into my
desk?"
No. sir, l didn't see nobody do ut,
SIR" was the reply OF the tousle- headed
youth on the stool by the door.
Brown scratched his ear and then
throwing the sheet aside he went over to
the closet where hung the new phone and
rang up central.
The sweet hello" of the silver-voiced
girl at the other end brought smile oi
pleasure to his lips. Hello he called
into the receiver, gimme 1490, please"
Instantly the number came back to him
| I'VE have no such number, sir"
IAN right replied Brown, must be
the other phone"
Then he walked over to the next closet
and on the old instrument called up GEN.
| tral and asked for 140o.
Fourteen hundred" repeated the girl
| at the other end.
YES" answered Brown, that's right.
There was slight hesitation at central
then the second silver voice asked again
did you say 1400?''
Brown was mad Yes" he yelled bach
| into the instrument. II said 14OO. Cant
you hear? I'm in hurry and don't want
| to sit here all day.
And then came the revelation. 81 think
there must be some mistake" The voice
| was sweeter than ever. That's the num-
ber OF your own phone, the one you're
talking over
Brown had forgotten all about it; like
wise had he forgotten that yesterday was
| April 1.
Later in the day he sent a box Of candy
and word of apology to the hello" girl
at central.

PITTSBURGH, July 1.-THE big
towboat Transporter, being built at the
Elizabeth marine ways for the Pitts
burgh Transportation Company, will be
launched Thursday afternoon, between
and o'clock. The boat is slightly
larger than the Joseph B. Williams, and
will have greater power. The boat will
have many Improvements that the 9th
er river towboats do not have. Her
cabin appointments will be very fne,
her owners having taken pains to make
It comfortable for the crew.
Miss Jean Wood, daughter OF Captain
T.sJ. Wood, one of the owners OF the
boat, will break the accustomed bottle
of champagne across the head OF the
boat, as 1t is lowered from the cradles
into the river. A large party OF river
men viii leave here in the afternoon TO
witness the launch, which will be an IN
FORMAL AFFAIR.
The Transporter's dimensions are as
follows: Length on deck, 21O Ieeti
length over all, $40 feet; her beam is
forty-two feet, but her width over all
Is lfty-three feet, and her depth is
five and one-half feet. She Will have
seven boilers, each having two nues'
the length OF the boilers being twenty
eight feet and the diameter forty
inches. Her boilers will be arranged IN
two. batteries, so that in going down
stream. or whenever desirable. she can
clean out part Of them without the
boat having to stop and cool down as
all the other towboats have to do. She
will have an auxiliary, or "nigger, boil
Ter for the various purposes for which
these are used. Her engines are by
far the most powerful Of any steam
boat now In existence. They are COM
pound, the hiEh-pressure cylinders be-
ing twenty-one inches In diameter, and
the low-pressure forty-four inches,
with a ten-foot stroke. She will be
enuipped with a surface condenser, and
ali the water that will enter her boilers
will be filtered. She will be lighted
throughout by electricity, and Will
have two very powerful search lights
on her head. Her cabin will be well
furnished and will contain bath rooms
for both officers and crew. Her shaft Is
fifteen inches in diameter In the jour
nals, and her wheel will work thirty
foot bucket. Complete with all her rig
cling Of catchGts and chains, ropes, sy-
phons and other outfit, the Transport
Ter will cost within small sum OF
100000 She vii be used to tow coal,
steel rails, nails and other manufac-
lures from Pittsburgh to New Orleans,
and her builders hope to handle iron
products so cheaply that they can de-
velop a good trade for the export of
these things from New Orleans. She is
owned by the Pittsburgh Transporta-
ton Company, which is composed of
the Lysle Coal Company, the Pacific
Coal Company and 7, ]. Wood.
