ster's Great-GrandSOn.
Crowds began to gather in Massachu-
sets Avenue and Scott Circle long before
noon, despite the drizzling rain and the
discomforts under foot. The magnificent
statue, shrouded in American flags. was
the one topic Of discussion and the cere-
mOny of unveiling the figure was eagerly
awaited. A raised platform had been
erected for the Marine Band and here
Leader Santelmann and his men. attired
in brilliant uniforms, rendered several
marches as the carriages containing the
Presidential party and the committee ap-
preached Scott Circle.
At 1856 the long line of vehicles formed
a circle around the enclosure which con-
tanned the statue. and owing to the rain
it was decided that the committee and
guests view the ceremony from the car
riages. A Gordon of police was stationed
at the entrance to the little park and
formed an aisle through which those who
participated in the unveiling might pass.
At exactly u o'clock President MeKin-
ley left his carriage, escorted by Secretary
Gage, Senator Lodge. and Commissioner
Ross, and, accompanied by Mrs Stilson
Hutchins and Miss Catherine Deering went
to the platform TO the right OF the statue.

LONDON WILDLY ENTHUsED.
An Optlmistic Belief in the Success
OF British Arms


LONDON, Jan. 1S.-London is wild with
enthusiasm today over the news that Bull
ler's army is across the Tugela River and
IS lighting its way on 10 Ladysmith at last.
1t is believed that 4o,CO0 men on both sides
are battling for the possession Of the road
TO the city.
Reports that the battle along the twenty
five or thirty miles Of front was suH 90
ing on. though the crossing OF the river
began on Tuesday, and that the British ar
my had seized strong positions some miles
north Of the river and was shelling the
Boer trenches, keyed the public appetite
for more details TO the highest pitch. Des-
pite the warnings OF some military critics
that the silence Of Butler was ominous Of
disaster the public believes that British
success is now in sight.

Much has been written and Is still being written about "Sapho," the late M. AL phonse Daudet's work. But one of the best little stories told about this much-discussed work comes from the publishing house of Funk & Wagnalls company. It is said that when the advance sheets of Sapho were sent to this firm with a view to translation and publication in America, the house for obvious reasons found "Sapho" unsuitable, and cabed to M. Daudet: "Sapho objection able" This message greatly perplexed the author, who in his dilemma consulted his friends. They concluded that the objection able feature was the orthogTaphy of the title word "Sapho," which in English is spelled with two "p's." So Daudet cabled back "spell 1t with two "p's," a message which astonished Dr. Funk as much as his dispatch had surprised the French author.

Miss Molly Elliot SeawelPs books are great favorite with a large class of read CTS. Word comes now that Mir. F. Kinsey Peie is now dramatizing her novel, "The Loves of the Lady Arabella." It will be produced first in London, and MT Cyril Maude will have the part of Sir Peter Hawkshaw. Miss Seawell is at work finish ing ''The House of Eg-emont,'' novel which will be issued next autumn. Readers eagerly await the appearance of all new works from her pen.

 The editor of "The Bookman," who so often writes with such pronounced direct ness, force and discrimination upon things literary, comments recently in quite a hap py vein upon the popular idol, Richard Harding Davis. He says that since MT. Davis recent marriage, there have been signs that his attraotveness as a literary idol, for the matinee girl Is on the wane. His photographs are no longer so eagerly sought and so lovingly cherished Now all this he adds, is quite right. MT. Davis has had so long reign as "promising young novelist" that it is very fitting that he should take another place-that of man on the high road to forty, who has in a measure fulfilled that promise. Seriously speaking, the writer concludes, how many men have we who could have written "The Exiles?"-only handful of American ex- iles in an African city sick with the hope less yearning for the great country which is tbedr own, seeing again in their restless dreams the gittering lights of Madison Square and the long sweep of Murray Hill.

IL ghas been long time since we first en- joy &ftse nnerPiment and-kindly sarcasm of John Bull and His Island" Jonathan and His Continent" and "Jacques Bon homme." But we are glad to learn that MT. Paul Blouet better known as Max ORell, will soon publish his first actual and sus- tadned novel. This genial Frenchman is well known all over this country, not only an author but also as lecturer. And 1t is safe to predict that new work from his pen will be kindly received.

 Possibly one of the most noticeable things in connection with literary work of today is that 1t evidently pays If we judge from the immense numbers quickly sold of the leading works of fiction, we are obliged to conclude that the profits must be also enor- nous.
 Of course it does not follow that "all' books succeed and renumerate the author, for there are still many books which must of necessity fail, even though they may have passed successfully that august per- sonage, the publishing house reader But it does seem to indicate that the publishing trade has learned the art of overcoming by wise business management that public in- difference which oftentimes greets even the best pieces of work. Not only does this seem 10 be the time of triumph for the nov elists, but also for the playwright as well; and then a success in one field but means that with dexterous handling and after the slightest changes of form and presentment, the same work may achieve success also in the other field. The many brilliant suc- cesses both literary and financial in the field of letters, will no doubt prove a strong and alluring incentive to many newcomers to try their own individual literary pin ions. But 1t must also be remembered that these very same successes also prove that never before was the reading public quite so discriminating and ready to refuse abso- lutely what is not characterized by genuine merit and excellence

 America on account of his keen, sympathet- ie studies of nature. A fine, blithe spirit Is Bradford Torrey, who belongs to this class of nature worshippers. Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller is another writer of New York whose book and magazine articles upon birds have been widely popular.
 Ernest Seton-Thompson, in his Wild An imals l Have Known" has made an original and inestimabe contribution to nature lit- erature. Of Mir. Seton-Thompson' work, recent admirer has said, Even here, in this inferior and often despised animal world, in the history of Lobo the wolf, and Bingo the dog, and Silverspot the crow, are the ele- ments of the same love and hate, the same battles and diseipltnes that make human life so pathetic and absorbing. One rises from reading one of these stories with the same emotion, the same tension of the heart strings as from Middlemareh' or The Old Curiosity shop.
 We have yet to mention, however, the latest disciple in the new school, that of Henry van Dyke, and in. many respects its highest representative. For pr. Van Dykes interpretation of nature is deeply and sweetly ethical and spiritual. Few writers of nature infuse into their work the same pervasive spiritual cefreshment and inspir- ation as Henry Van Dyke. He is a fisher man rather than a naturalist, and in this way is of the house of Isaac Walton. Dr. Van Dykes books, which are large sellers at all times, and particularly during the holiday season, arc exquisitely designed and illustrated. So that not only the text book, but the setting, is rare and beauti- ful.

CONGRESSMAN TAWNEY is one Of
the ablest men in the Minnesota dele
cation, and indeed compares favorablv
in>point of ability with the best men in
the house. But he made a mistake
and belittled himself in the public
estimation when he impugned the mo- 10
tives OF Congressman Littlefield, OF
Maine. who opposed the Puerto Rican
tariff bill. Littlefeld was on that side
OF the bill which has only the poor
Puerto. Rican and the poor American
for its hackers. Tawney, on the other.
hand. is on the side which favors the
sugar and tobacco trusts. Mr.. Tawnev
might have chosen a more opportuniee
time and better subject for the dis
play of his oratorical talents, and he
could not have chosen worse time or
a worse subject upon which to express
doubt of the honorable motives of an
other member.

UNLESS we mistake the temper of
the laboring men of this country the
opposition will have a hard time to
talk anti-expansion or any other anti
stuff loud enough to make them forget
that the change brought by the pres
ent administration was a change that
meant more to them four years ago
than all Philippines are worth now.
Then they were out Of work and no
matter how low the prices of commod-
tiles they could not get enough money

his jaw overtime to confuse the labor
ing mans mind long enough to steal
his vote, but it won't work.

FALLING INTO ERROR.

The Republican press association is
making a mistake in trying to place
the party in opposition to the increase
OF the gross earnings tax. The gross
earnings: tax will be an issue in the
next campaign and however the Re-
publican party managers may feel
about it, the Republican. voters are
overwhelmingly in favor of the in
crease. Because in the past year of
unprecedented commercial activity.the.
