The High School Affair.

After hearing the arguments OF the
attorneys for the objectcrs and the
attorneys for the County High school
Saturday afternoon, the county com,
missioners decided that the school was
defeated at the recent election, and a
declaration to that effect was made on
the records Of the board.
Should the new board take the same
view OF the matter when the time
comes for making the annual tax lew
the action Of the board Saturday will
be decided advantage for the objec.
tors, by compelling the friends OF the
school TO institute mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel the board to make
the levy. The directors will thus be
placed on the defensive.
Once in court, there is no telling
where the school fight will end. But
there is little fear of the final result.
The law is apparently all 90 the side
OF the school. The directors are
striving to place the school 90 the
aggressive. They want to compel its
friends to take the first step 10 the
courts, so that they will not have to
put up bonds for costs. This was
their idea IL asking the commission.
ers TO declare the school defeated.
The action Of the board Saturday
has ne more legal effect than il Sam
Kincsid, Hiram Hitchcock and Jim
heskett had met as private citizens
and declared the school defeated. 1t
would not have any legal effect II the
entire board had declared It defested,
and would have no legal effect II the
next board should take the same
view of the matter. But it does have
a tendency to embaraSs the school.
The trustees may not feel like going
ahead with preparations for the 1900
1901 term as long as Its future Is in
doubt, and the school will undoubted-
" suffer II the litigation drags along,
Realizing this, and many more dis
advantages that might result, man.
damus proceedings may be commenced
In the supreme court at once to com.
pei the commissioners to declare the
school carried, thus settling the
question for all time. Attorneys think
such proceeding can be instituted
aud settled within sixty days.

"The Trneedy9of Dreyfus.,

1.-The Tragedy of Dreyfus;" by G. w.
Stevens. Harper & Brothers. New
York and London, publishers. For sale
by the st. Paul Book and Stationery
company
Everyone-and there are many-who
has puzzled over the intrcacies Of French
legal proceedings in the case of Capt.
Alfred Dreyfus would obtain q clear
insight into what is now practically q
mystery by perusing this book For
the first time theFcaSe is presented In
succinct, connected and Impartial form
by one who was an eye witness Of the
thrilling, If slightly spectacular and hys-
terical scenes in and around Rennes
and Paris during the summer days of
1899 The first chapter of the work Is
devoted to a compact story of the case,
explaining the nature of the crime of
which Dreyfus was accused, history of
the bordereau, The nature OF the secret
dossier, the sequestration Of the prisoner,
final sentence of the court-martiaI, de-
portation to Devils Island and the vigor-
Gus defense of the condemned by Emile
lola.
The case is thus presented and the
motif developed much like the opening
act of a play on the stage Nearly
all the characters who subsequently fig
ure- in the book are introduced. The
alleged naturalization of Dreyfus' hand
writing by NJ. Bertillon, head of the
criminal Identification bureau of Paris,

is given some prominence, and the in
cident of the suicide Of Col Henry is
touched upon. Scenes grotesque and
tragical tread close upon each other S
heels. AS Mr.. Stevens says: The
Esterhazy court-martial was led up to
through a maze of intrigues which read
half like novel by Gaboriau and half
like q burlesque opera.
Then comes the story by the author,
written in the first person, of the last trial
of the unfortunate artillery officer and
his conviction, with extenuating circum-
stances, u kind of a Scotch verdict at
Rennes. All of the descriptive work is
line, many of the scenes pa thetic, others
humorous, and the whole logically put
together and smelted into as interesting
q tale as ever came from the pen of
BalZac. Nothing has been omitted from
this work that could in any way assist
the reader in arriving at thorough un-
Outstanding of. the details and merits of
the now famous cause celebre. Mr.
Stevens has supplemented his dramatic
story of the trial with an appendix in
the opening of which he says:
ITO help the reader to a thorough APP
probation and understanding of the trial
at Rennes there have been selected
and incidents which make of the af-
faire Dreyfus the most confusing and
complicated case on record a few sig
nificant facts round which all the others
can be grouped, and which are the vital
and suggestive facts at the bottom of the
case. They are presented with the eX-
planatory and critical remarks of the
Judges of the court Of cessation, as re-
corded In the official reports
The author ofV"The Tragedy of Drey-
fus" has been thorough and painstaking
in his work. More than this, lie has
been impartial throughout. Yet no one
can lay the book aside without a re-
Election that Burns spoke with prescience
when he wrote: "Mau's inhumanity to
man makes countless thousands mourn"
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-12

chance. His life story has been re-
peated in hundred forms by other mon,
but few have risen to such Worldwide
fame as he in the literary world.
He was born in Martins Ferry, O., the
son Of country editor, whose various
newspaper ventures in Hamilton, Dayton
and Ashtabula were marked by but an
Indifferent business success. But the
home, though humble, was filled with the
light of aspiration and hope
AT the age of nineteen young Howells
went to Columbus to represent the Gin
cinnau Gazette, and there he learned
some important lessons in political life
He was selected to write the campaign
life of Abraham Lincoln, and with the
money he made from that effort he went
to Boston, at that time the literary center
of the country, where he met many ia
nous men.
AS a further reward for his party serv-
ice he was appointed United States con-
sui to Venice, Italy. Happily the duties
of the office were merely nominal, and
the young ltterateur plunged into books
to fill up the deficiencies OF his early
years. He studied the romance lam
guages and literatures and wrote his
venetian Life" which was as valuable
a contribution to the current features of
Venice as Mr.. Ruskin's work was to It's
art treasures
Returning home in 1865 he became as
ISOLATED with the New York Tribune
Times and Nation, doing special work for
those journals. From New York he went
again to Boston, where he was editor of
the Atlantic Monthly during ten of its
best years. At this time he assisted In
the translation Of Dante and published
his first work of fiction, Their Wedding
Journey" The new venture was every
where received with enthusiasm. for it
contained all the promise of that genius
which was to ripen into the creation of
The Lady Of the Aroostook, THE Rise
of Silas Lapham" and The Undiscovered
Country"
From 1888 to 1891 he was one of the ed
itors of Harpers Magazine, and was also
busy with a study of The Italian Poets
and other works
From humble beginning he has risen
to one of the first men in the world of
letters In the process he has touched
every phase of human life, and is able
to analyze events and human motives
with the skill of master His style is
more like that Of Goldsmith than any

"salads and Sandwiches.

Salads. Sandwiches and Chatting Dish
Dainties," by Janet McKensie Hill. Lit
tie, Brown & Co., Boston. For sale by
the st. Paul Book and Stationery COM
panY.
1t is supposed to be given to a large
part OF the feminine community to spend
much of life in catering to the capricious
appetite of man. This is at once a duty
and pleasure, for every good woman de-
lights to see the man she loves eat, and
eat as though the process were music and
poetry. This book is another aid to the
new woman who wishes to perform the
task in modern and scientific fashion.
1t is as cheap and easy to have great
variety, and delicious food, as to turn
over and over the same meager bill of
fare. There ought to be a cook book
mission" among the poor. 1t won d be
one of the wholesomest of charities. Mrs.
Hill has done her work Well in the salad
question and produces a large number
of novelties. OF course the chatting
dish is supposed to be reserved for the
aristocrats of the culinary department,
but any one who knows how can make a
good salad The book is ornamented
with illustrations-a novel feature-show-
ing how the various dishes ought to look
when prepared. Heaven bless Mrs. Hill,

modern writer, and over it plays contin-
ually the gentle light of a pleasing hu-
NOR that adds beauty, but has no sting.
He will discuss Novel Reading and
Novel Writing" In his dual capacity as
one of the first of authors and one OF the
foremost Of critics the time gives him
every opportunity to display his genius.
He has made great hit on the lecture
platform. and is greeted by crowded au-
diences In all the centerS of culture. His
coming here is no test of him, but ii is a
test of the literary taste Of the city. If
the Peoples church is not crowded to-
morrow night. at the very low prices an
nounced it will be some time before any
one will venture the responsibility Of
trying to furnish great literary attrac-
tons where they are not appreciated.

hundred millions a year to be called Il
great power and good fighters? There is
no profit in our farming this foreign
plantation; we can buy the products
cheaper than we can raise them
In the other chapter defending the pol
Icy of expansion, Mr. Bancroft voices the
sentiments Of imperialists in the follow
ing strain:
1T is true that when we began this
war 1t was not for territorial ag-
grandizement.- We did not so begin il:
nor did We conduct it for that purpose
ip pew order was not to capture and
mold the Philippines, but capture and de-
stroy the Spanish fleet. The result which
ADDED to our domain was unexpected not
OF our seeking and not altogether well
NOI14S. w 1dl0NST may De the QuantX OF
these islanders, we are in honor bound
TO stand by them and see them free, free
from Spain, free from the other spoilers
Of Europe, free from their own leader,
who Is, indeed, their worst enemy in
H1cting on them horrible wrongs sending
them to their death by thousands TO
crafty his base ambition. God have
mercy on those natives should the sway
of such tyrants as Aguinaldo and his
crew become absolute! Their rule would
be a cross between the governments of
Dahomey and Spain.'
Mr.. Bancroft then proceeds to discuss
the expansion history of the United States
since the dawn of independence as a ma
ton, quoting largely from the speeches of
Douglas, Jefferson and others To the
war with Spain large portion of the
book Is devoted, and here again the reader
Will be we'll rewarded. To the commerce
of the Pacific considerable attention Is
bestowed, and 1t is in this portion of the
work that all those interested in maritime
aHalrs and water transportatio will find
great profit The author believes in sub
sides for steamships and his cogent ar
guments are better, far better and more
favorable for the enlargement of our mer-
chant marine than any that have so far
been presented in congress. In short Mr.
Bancroft has written what is destined to
T become one of the most valuable contribu-
| lions to South Sea literature of the age
1t is a trite assertion to say that it is a
library IN itself, but If that expression is
applicable to any work it most certainly
is to THE New Pacific"
