GIRLS FELL VICTIMS.
Romance of tho Plague in Perthshire,
Scotland.

The last time the plague visited
Glasgow with excessive virulence was
| in August, 1916. Then, on the 10th of
that month, the Marquis of Montrose,
who fought under the standard of
Charles l., signally defeated the Cove
nanters under Gen. Bailie at Kilsyth.
Thereupon the provost and corpora
ton of the pestilence stricken city sent
ENJOYS with a message of congratula-
ton to the marquis and a warm invi-
tation to him and his soldiers to par
take of Glasgow's hospitality. Mont
rose, at the head Of his troops, entered
the city and was sumptuously enter
tanned, but would not stay on account
of the epidemic. However, as a mat
ter of business, apart from sentiment,
ne levied heavy tax for supplies upon
his Glaswegian hosts, to their huge
disgust. A memento Of a pathetic ro-
nance connected with the 1645 plague
visitation in Scotland is rallied en-
closure on the bank of the Almond, in
the parish of Methven, Perthshire. 1t
marks the spot where lie inferred the
hapless Bessie Bell and Mary Gray"
famed in Scotch song. Daughters re-
spectiyely of the laird of Kinvaid and
the laird of Lynedoch, the maidens
were much attached to each other and
when they heard of the ravages of the
plague they retired to a bower near
the Almond and dwelt in perfect seclu-
sion. The fair recluses, however, had
their place of retreat discovered by a
young man of their acquaintance, who
supplied the twain with provisions. He
caught the plague himself, unluckily.
and communicated infection to Bessie
and Mary, to which the girls fell vic

Oh the time their bodies were not al

"To initiate persons like the late NJ. Verlaine
lat however decent distance) is distinctly
futile and superfuOus." Thus Mr.. Andrew
Lang in "Longmans," on an author who died
mot long since and whose friends have been
rather too profuse in their eulogies of him. Mr..
Lang with Il rooted objection to the advertise
ment of obnoxious things, will not even men
ton the name of the decadent young gentleman
in question We follow his example. And we
rejoice over his caStgatiOn of the amateurs who
fancy that the only thing they have to do, in
order to win everlasting fame, is to write poems
in the style of some such individual as Yer
laine. and copy his personal habits. 1t is not
always conviction that drives so many begin
ners to write like-decadentS 1t is simply the
impulse of small mind to deceive itself into
thinking that it is a big one by following in
the footsteps of some one who seems to be
eminent. For some reason that has never been
explained emineHce, among such writer's, is
incOmprehensible unless it is associated with
squalOr and moral Obliquity. To plead with
them is useless. The only possibility of helping
them back to paths of intelligence is to give
them what Mr.. Lang gives them, an occasional
smart rap upon the cOstard.

Mrs. Edith Wharton raises interesting
question in the charming story, THE Duchess
at Prayer" which she has contributed to the
current number Of ''Scribner's Magazine" The
plot is lifted almost bodily from another writer.
With certain changes of time, locality, furnish
ings and personalities, Mrs Wharton does in
The Duchess at Prayer" what Balzac did
superlatively well in La Grande Breteche"
Since the theme had been treated by Il great
MASTER and modern one into the bargain, it
seems at first blush as though there could not
have been any legitimate reason for writing
THE Duchess at Prayer" But Mrs. Wharton
puts all pedantries at naught by making her
work so good that must read it, and admire
it, whether one cares to do so or not. Why
talk of plagiarism when it yields us delight?
"The man who plants cabbages initiates too
runs the shrewd line. And The Duchess at
Prayer has an added reason for existing. 1t
proves that the author is meant for better
things than those studies of modern life which
have won for her a passing repute but hold
within themselves, in their artifce and super
tciality, the seeds of swift decay. She uses in
this latest production Of hers some of the lit
erary mannerisms which have run riot in her
other writings, but she uses them sparingly; in
the main her style is as natural as clear, as it
is attractive and the spirit Of THE Duchess at
Prayer is peculiarly engaging. One false touch
is present in the treatment of the marble statue
To lend life to the carved face, so as to lend n
fantastic note to the story, is to make Il Earring
concession to melOdrama. But this is detail
If Mrs Wharton can go on writing things like
this we hope she may feel free to borrow all
the plots she wants, from BalZac or any one
else. And we hope she may have Mr. Maxfied
Parrish for an illustrator the pictures he has
made for The Duchess at Prayer" are so good

A new siXpenny edition of "Aylwin' has just
been published in England, with new intro
duction by the author. Explaining the long
interval between the completion and the pub
lfcatiGn of his novel Mr.. Watts-Dunton makes
a suggestive confession. THE explanation was
not far to seek" he says. 'It was simply
diffidencc; in other words it was that infrmity
which, though generally supposed to belong to
youth comes to a writer. if it comes at all,
with years" There was Il time he adds, when
he could have leaped with considerable rash
ness into the field. But he got over that, and
1t was only the unexpected success of 1.-The
Coming Of Love" which kept him from leaving
"AylWin' to be published after his death.
What boon it would be if these remarks could
be printed in substantial form and circulated,
like Il tract, among the literary hordes of the
day. For difiidence the average young author

said to have for two tails. 1t seems to him.

The Hlbernians of Nashville.

At recent meeting of the Hibcrnia,l
Benevolent Society OF Nashville, Tenn,
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, the brave struggle in
which the people OF the Transvaal and
Orange Free State republics are now
engaged against the might OF England
is in all its essential bearings similar to
that wagcd against the same power by
the Father OF this Republic more than
one hundred and twenty-five years ago:
and,
Whereas, the United States, when
ever i'll its history it has drawn the
sword itself, has always done so in sup
port OF popular government, while the
sympathies Of its citizens have ever gone
out to all peoples struggling to be free;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Hibcrnan
Benevolent Society OF Nashville, hereby
extend to the Beers OF South Africa
our heartfelt sympatl,yand express most
ardent hope for the triumph OF their
arms and the preservation Of their
homes and liberties from the ruthless
invader; and we hereby pledge them oul
unlaltcring support in every manner
consistent with Our duties as American
citizens and supporters Of republican
form OF government
'Rcsolvcd, That while we hope every
moral support possible will be offered
by the people OF America to their broth
rcn OF the South African republics in
their heroic struggle, we urge upon
President Mckinley and his cabinet the
necessity for the strictcst construction
OF the neutrality laws against England,
so that the power OF the American re-
public may not even by silence which
may be misrcprcsentcd or misundcr-
stood, be thrown into the scale against
the people Of our sister republic OF
South Africa.
Resolved, That copy OF these rcso-
lutions be forwarded to President Nc
Kinlcy and that the Nashville ncwspa-
pcrs and the 1risl,-Amcrican press be
requested to publish the above rcsolu-
tons.
