THE LITERARY WORLD

The appearance OF a new book by
kdward Bellamy, whose death occurred
three or four years ago. is exciting a
a good deal of interest. "The Duke OF
Stockbridge" was really written before
Looking Backward" was conceived.
It was undertaken as a historical ro-
nance and thus is the pioneer OF the
whole brood OF romantic historical
novels. IL is a romance of the Berk-
shire Hills, among which Mr Bellamy
spent his Lire. The theme IS that cur
ious post Revolutionary episode called
"Shays' Rebellion in which the dis
couraged debtor-farmers revolted fur
iously against the courtly aristocra g
of the old New England towns. The
times were the hardest this country
had known and the rich were fore
closing upon the small farms and
crowding the foul jails with debtor s.
These conditions OF injustice, which
the making OF the story brought so
pointedly before the authors mind.
stirred nim nightly and Looking
Backward" was undertaken as soon as
this story was finished. Mr. Belamy
decided, however, to withhold the ro-
nance until after the new book was
completed: then "The Duke OF Stock
bridge" would not be regarded merely
as romance but would be an illustra-
ton of the need OF the great human
revolution which Looking Backward"
stands for. The authors failing health,
however, postponed its publication
still further, until just before his death
he gave permission for its bringing
forth.

STREPLE WORK is INTERESTING

Special to the Evening Journal.

New Castle. Oct. 29.--Much curiosity
has been created by the work of paint
ing tho spire OF Emmanuel Church. For
the past few days workmen have chung
to it like mosquitoes in a web, people
stop and gaze at them, and the few
policemen of the city have been work
ing overtime answering questions con-
cerning the work.
The workmen who are doing the
job will have a means of transit to
their sky scraping working place this
week which doubtless will attract
crowds to the corner. They will be
let down from the steeple in chairs
and when done their work they will
be hoisted to the scaffolding about the
cross. disappear through one of the
email windows there and descend to
the earth by means of the ladder
there. They hope to finish their peri
lous duties this week.
