 Maurice Thompson, they say, should be a happy man, for on the 2d of October, just two weeks after its publication, 40,0OO copies of Alice of Old Vincennes'' had been sold. And now the publishers report that they are sending out a steady average of 35OO a day. Of the book a well-known reviewer says: More original than Richard Car vel more vital than Janice Meredith, more cohesive than TO Have and to Hold more dramatic than any of its rivals, Alice of Old Vincennes' is sure to win instant popularity''
 MT. Thompson, who has a thoughtful, earnest face, Is native of Charlottesville, Ind, and fought as Confederate soldier during the Civil War. He has written, be- sides works of fiction, number of sketches and poems. However, his latest work Is his most successful one.
 John Uri Lloyd's "Stringtown On the Pike" which is just finished in the current number of The Bookman, is a striking sto- ry of Northern Kentucky It has raised an unusual amount of discussion, criticism and praise, and is justly considered one of the notable novels of the winter publications. They say that you can begin to read "Eben Holden in the middle and work either way, but you will be sure to go back to the beginning and read every word.
 Says Uncle Eben, Stop lookin' for trou- ble, an happiness II look fer you" Such wholesome philosophy is more than apt to win ap )reciatve readers. "Eben Holden" has al eady tipped the sales at 125,000 Mr. BachGa Ter, the author, is well-known jour nalise and litterateur of New York city, and while "Ehen'' is not his first work, 1t is de- cideeiy his best and most popular work It se ems that MT. Bacheller counts versa tllit as enc of his accomplishments, for ther is an exquisite little couplet by him in tn, current issue of The Bookman. It is entitles "14ifes Colors:''
 "There many hue, and some I knew,
 In thee ekcins of a weaver old; Z An! there are the white of the lily hand,
 The glow of the silky gold
 And the crimson missed in the lips kissed
 And the blue of the maiden's eye. Just look at the strands in the web of life
 And see-the weaver's dye!"

recent death of Prof. Max Muller has re- moved one of the most notable men of the century.~The author or editor of hundred volumes, the leader of English Orientalists and one of Oxford's most celebrated pro- fessors will be missed not only in England and his native country, but by the world at large. Foremost, of course, he was Sanskrit student, and his great editions Of the "Rig-Veda," in six volumes, occupied more than twenty years in It's preparation His History of Sanskrit Literature" went into a second edition as early as 1860, and his "Chips from a German Workshop Selected Essays" and lately his "Auld Lang Syne'' are volumes that had many readers in this country. While he was one of the hardest workers of his day, it Is said that Professor Muller was known to many people principally as the delightful host-a reputation borne out by his face and bear ing, which show kindly humor and the graceful courtesy of man of the world.
 On the front cover page of the current number of Success With Flowers" is a splendid likeness of Virginia Rosalie Coxe, in honor o. whom celebrated new rose has been named. The editor further says on the editorial page: Mrs. Coxe is not unknown to the American public. Her writings and charitable deeds have brought her into prominence, and many Indeed are the distinguished Americans who have been entertained at her hospitable Southern home She is a direct descendant of John Randolph of Virginia, whose scholarly at tainments she has inherited to a marked degree"
 Mrs. Coxe will be specially remembered as the charming author of that brilliant novel, "The Embassy Ball." which gained for the author immediate recognition as d writer Mrs. Coxe resides In Knoxville, Tenn. She is friend and ardent admirer If Wheeler Willow and her rpCpntiOn in honor of the well-known poet last spring was one of the most brilliant in the history of Knoxville.
 Among the most important novels of the fall publications may be mentioned "Elea- nor" by Mrs. Humphrey Ward; Tn the Palace of the King" by F. Marion Craw ford; Maurice Thompson's Alice of Old Vineennes;" John Uri Lloyd's "Stringtown On the Pike" and ''Eben Holden," by Irv- ing Bacheller. Many reviewers consider ''Eleanor'' Mrs. Wards very best work; certainly 1t is one of her brightest and most interesting. The scene Is laid in Rome, and Mrs. Ward has studied Italy carefully pre- paratory to her work; and while we can hardly imagine Mrs. Ward ever losing sight of theological themes, for they seem espe- cially dear to her heart, yet her new work is permeated with the sunshiny atmosphere of Southern Italy, and is calculated as whole to delight the reader.
 MT Crawford has long since taught an admiring public to eagerly await the an- nouncement of a new work from his pen; but his latest story shows that he feels sure of pleasing, and that he can write typical Crawford novel with very little ef- fort The scene is laid in Old Madrid In the time of Philip the Second, and, as we all know, there is no writer who can do more with, say, a Moorish palace, Span

The Only Brother of Nicholas Heir to
 the Sceptre.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
 To Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovlteh, the only brother of the Czar, will come the Russian sceptre should Nicholas die.
 Michatl is only 22 years old this month. He became Czarowitz, or heir apparent, upon the death of his brother George, who was the second son of the late Emperor Alexander III.
 Michael inherited the strength of body of his father being the most robust of the three sons.
 Michael, like his brother Nicholas, has comparatively liberal ideas. He is well disposed toward the Films. He has trav- eled extensively and profited by what he has seen.
 The Czarowitz must not marry a Roman Catholic, and for this reason his choice of wife must be made within a limited circle.
 It was reported in the fall that wedding was to be arranged for him with Princess Margaret, daughter of the Duke of Con- naught and granddaughter of Queen Vic toria.
 The marriage-is is one eminently proper, as far as purposes of statecraft go. It Is one of which Emperor Nicholas, the Queen of England and Kaiser Wilhelm would ap- prove The only obstacle to it lies in the heart of Michael himself wha is in love with his cousin the Grand Duchess Helen, daughter of Michael's uncle, the Grand Duke Vladimir.
 The little Helen, because of her infatua- tion with the Czarowitz, tilted Prince Max of Baden and spurned the hand of Prince Louis Bonaparte as well as those of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, King Alexander of Servia and a number of other rulers The Russian church forbids the marriag of cousins
 The Grand Duschess Helen has violent | temper as well a will of her own. Whest | things have failed to please her she has | been known to pour boiling water over her governess. Her mother has a temper of | the same kind. Princess Margaret of England is very anxious to become the wife of the Czaro- witz. She is pretty and attractive, with the typocal Guelph face, not particularly strong.

Some of the best music heard in Birming- ham last season and the season before was at the Treble Clef Club concerts This club has had no rehearsal recently. and it be- gins to look as if its plans announced early in the fall for the winter of 1900-O1 would be abandoned. Lovers of music will be sorry indeed if the Treble Clef disbands or becomes dormant.
 Frank Van der Stucken, director of the Cincinnati College of Music and conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, will take his leave of the Queen City at the end of the present season. The College of Music has accepted his resignation, and 1t is likely that he will return to New York, where he conducted a large orchestra be- fore he located himself in Cincinnati. Van der Stucken ranks high in the musical world He Is an excellent symphony lead CT, and would be able to hold his own in any of the large eastern cities. He came little too high for Cincinnati. Van der Stucken was born in Texas, but was edu- cated in Europe.
 The First Methodist church of this city has one of the largest and finest choirs in the South. Music of a high order is heard there every Sunday, but two weeks from today-the Sunday before Christmas-Mr Guckenberger will direct selections from Part I. of Handel noble, heaven-inspired oratorio, "The M flah," for the morning Parts II. and III. fvr the night service. For a Christmastide Sunday, what could be so fitting musically as "The Messiah?'
 This will be the fifth Christmas season that MT. Guckenberger has given the ora torio in Birmingham and as nearly all of his present chorus have sung in at least two of the former performances, the re- hearsals will be easy.
 Eduard Strauss, with his Vienna orches- tra of forty-five or fifty pieces, will be heard in Birmingham tomorrow night for the first time. He, as well as the orchestra, will be literally heard, for he leads with violin instead of a baton, and plays good deal of the music The late Johann Strauss, brother of Eduard, wrote 1.-The Beautiful Blue Danube" but Eduard has composed many gems and has easily been the waltz king of the world ever since Johann died.
 Strauss arranged ten different pro- grammes for his Southern tournee, and they are all choice, but No. 4, which he announces for Birmingham, is sngularly brilliant. It is with perhaps one exception, the finest of the lot. It is extremely rich. The overture, "If I Were King" by the French composer, Adam, makes a popular programme number. It is melodic, dashing and highly colored. Then comes a beauti full selection from Wagner's Die Meister- singer" and then the lovely strains of a Strauss waltz and so on. The programme will be found in full in this issue of The Age-Herald under the head of "Amuse- ments."
 As Birmingham never fails to show its appreciation of musical art, the Auditorium will be filled tomorrow night.
 What about music festival for next May? That question will probably be swered within the next week or two. The May Musical Festival Association will meet

Seed Thoughts for Public Speakers" Is a novel book at present in the press by Ar thur T. Pierson. It contains over 800 para graphs of wit, humor, anecdote and histor- ical fact.
 Readers who are interested in the navies of the world will enjoy series of articles soon to appear in Golfers Weekly on the life and customs of the navies of the world The articles will be fully illustrated by H. Reuterdahl, the marine artist, who has just returned from abroad with numerous draw ings
 The publishers of "M. Beaucaire" have found 1t necessary to ge to press with an- other edition of 10000 copies. This is the sixth edition of the book, and brings the total up to S6,00O. It is said that the au- thor, MT. Booth Tarkington, is at present in New York conferring with MT. Mansfield in regard to the stage production of the story
 By the way, Mir Mansfield is achieving a notable success at the Madison Square The ater in New York in "King Henry V.," and 1t is said that MT. Mansfield's acting edi tion of the play is now in press. The books will be Illustrated with portraits of MT. Mansfield in the title role and with scenes from the play. The stage presentation and setting of the play are magnificent and gorgeous in the extreme, and for this req son alone the play Is one of the notable events of the season.
 A volume that has been waited for with eagerness has just appeared from the press, and is the Literary History of America by Prof. Barrett Wendell, the professor of ; English at Harvard University. The vol ume shows an immense amount of study and research, and will undoubtedly be an authority on the subject.
 
 Paul Du Chaillu African explorer, hunt CT lecturer, writer of books of travel and adventure, has just published new book of travel which he calls 'The World of the Great Forest;' but 1t the travel of beasts and birds of the forest through their own wilds. In fact, 1t Is natural history made attractive and even exciting by compe- tent and at the same time imaginative au- thority. Readers who could not spare the already classic creatures of Kiplings jun gle folklore from their bookshelves, nor the jungle books equally delightful neighbors-- the idealized creations of MT. Ernest Se- ton-Thompson's imagination-will be glad to place beside these this new work by MT Du Chaillu; for ''The World of the Great Forest" is a book of breezy outdoor life, which will be sure to charm all readers, from the children on up to the children of larger growth.
 In a recent number of Literature will be found well-wrtten appreciation of Prof. Max Muller which in a very short com pass presents such vivid and striking pie ture of the man and his great work. The

NOTES ABOUT MUSIC.

very shortly and take up the matter The festival of 1899 was a splendid success, and so was the festival of last spring. It only remains for the association to get to work and raise the necessary guarantee fund.
 MT. Guckenberger, the festival director, says he could get his chorus together early in January and master the works to be performed without any great effort. Ills singers are sight readers, and therefore learn new music readily. Four months would give them ample time. If it is de- cided to have a festival, Theodore Thomas and his Chicago Orchestra-the foremost orchestra in America-will be engaged for 1t. Thomas has agreed to hold his May dates open for Guckenberger until the first of the year, but no longer So not much time remains for the association in which to act.
 By all means let Birmingham have a fes- tival next May. This city has made an en- viable reputation festival city. It can not afford now to drop backward.
 Gounod composed many great works. In grand opera his Faust is a master achievement, and will hold the stage for ever. But 1t was in sacred music that Gou- nod was most prolific and preeminent. His two oratorios, Redemption" and "Mors ct Vita," are works of the highest art, but his greatest genius is found in his masses. The St. Cecilia mass-the one with the angelic Sanctus, often sung in concerts-will be heard at St. Pauls church twice next Christmas; first at the midnight service Christmas eve), and again at the late ser vice, 10:30 o'clock in the morning.
 Phil Memoli is the director of the choir, and he is having many rehearsals in order that his singers may give a finished rem dition of this glorious mass. He will have in the Christmas choir not less than thirty five voices and select orchestra.
 The musical hero of England just now is MT. Elgar, whose "Dream of Gerontius musical setting of Cardinal Newman's won derful poem-was performed at the Bir- mingham, England, Festival last October Arrangements are being made for a per formance of his work in Berlin during the winter. No large composition in the past few years has made such furore as FL gar's. From all accounts 1t made the greatest impression at the festival and some very big works were given there.
 Elgar was practically self-taught. He never received a lesson in orchestration in his life. According to the Musical Times, he was the son of a Worcestershire music seller and organist. He. in 1S77 saved up flo, and spent fl 15s 3d. in fortuight's trip to London to receive a few V Hlin lessons from MT. Pollitzer. He was solicitor s clerk, but at p he became bar fmaster at the Worcester County Asylum, and after War0S ne set up dS u ledcHeIb u NloiiilSe and organist. As a young man MT. Elgar composed quadrilles at five shillings set, and wrote accompaniments to Christy Min strel songs at eighteenpence each. In 1885 he became organist of St. Georges Roman Catholic church, Worcester, and four years later he married the only daughter of the late Sir Henry Gee Roberts, K. c. B., his wife's mother being a descendant of Robert Raikes the founder of Sunday-schools.
