The Beacon biographies are intended to
and do supply hurried Americans with
pocket volumes that tell entertainingly
what should be known about leaders iii
American life and thought. The full
chronology In each volume fills another
want, while the suggestive photography
for further reading makes these little vol
umes of value also to those whose time
and taste permit mora extensive and thor
ough reading. The choice Of subjects thus
far has shown the extensive limits of
the plan for the series. Aaron Burr, SOL
der, statesman, brilliant man of affairs,
filed g. prominent place in the early life
Of the republic. OF widely different con-
dition in life and with other aims and
purposes of action was Frederick Doug
lass, the colored slave. orator, agitator,
leader, politician. These are the latest in
this pocket edition of American biCgra-
phies.

sCHLEY AND SAMPSON.
President Would Like to See Them
Made Vice AdmiraIs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-President Nc
Kinley, during an interview with Senator
Wellington, expressed himself in favor of
reyiving the grade of vice admiral, in the
interest of both Rear Admiral Sampson
and Rear Admiral Schley. He believes
that this is the simplest solution of the
whole Sampson-Schley controversy, and
1t is expected that Senator Wellington
will introduce a bill In a few days pro-
y1ding for the appointment of two
vice admirals without specifying names.
The president very plainly said that If
such bill became a law he would
promptly nominate both Sampson and
Schley, in the order named. This ar
rangement, both the president and Sen
ator Wellington believe, will meet the
approval of the majority of the friends
of both officers

In THE Sky Pilot of the Foothills" the
author, who hides his identity under the
pen name Of Ralph Connor, has added to
the public interest aroused by BLACK

and places of the Selkirk country, a re-
gton of Canada rich in romance and but
little exploited In fiction. The story deals
with the people Of the Selkirks, made ia
miliar In Black Rock" yet is not in
any way replica Of the carrier romance.
The story bears the stamp of truth, and
Is wanting neither in humor, power or
pathos. The preacher hero is manly
man; one to gain and hold the sympathy
of the reader, and the incidents selected
to develop his character are ample IN
their attractiveness

Lessons of the War With Spain is
the latest contribution Of Capt Alfred g.
Mahan to the war literature Of the world
Capt Mahan will be remembered as the
author Of THE Influence of Sea Power

tional fame as a naval expert, and also
as member of the board OF strategy
during the war with Spain. The volume
now issued by Little Brown s. Co. is q

In which America has been involved, writ

While the articles are written by an ac-

meal as to be beyond the general reader,
and the one upon THE Peace Conference
and the Moral Aspect of War" is no.
only of great value, but of timely interest.
THE Relation Of the United States to
Their New Dependencies" is another es-
say upon question of vital current i'm

shows the same thoroughness of treat

On StreRaV

la Strega and Other Stories" by Ouida.
Drexel Bfddle. Philadelphia
There are six of Ouida's stories en-
bodied in this volume, all Of them repre-
senting that skillful portraiture Of the
human emotions and the .closeness of
touch with the secrets of nature which
we find to the same degree in so few au-
thors. The title-story of the series is a
wonderful piece Of writing. 1t lays bare
the soul Of an unloved and passionate
daughter Of Italy who has recourse to the
arts Of La Strega, the Witch, to win
back for her the love of an Grant suitor.
This story is In Ouida's strongest vein,
and reveals her well-known intimacy with
every phase of Italian peasant life and
peasant character. 1t presents the ele-
ments Of tragedy and pathos-the ex-
IRENE poverty and the beautiful, child
like faith of the Italian, unsDoiled by the
touch Of modern industrislism-as no 9TH
er writer has been able to present them
Every story in the series IS worthy of its
writer; and when this is said, the high
est tribute possible is paid to the little
