ANOTHER GREAT PUBLISHING
HOUSE FAILS

The sad end of the great American nuh-
fishing house of D. Appleton e. ca Of
new York, cannot but cause a feeling Of
deep regret among all lovers of good
books. The Appletons failure coming So
closely on the heels of the disaster TO
Harper q Bros, their great rival, is dou-
BILE blow to the Intelligent reading public.
and it is curious fact that though rivals
in business, the Harper failure has indi-
rectly led to the collapse of the Appleton
company, making 1t more and more diff
cult FOR them to finance their business.
Tightening the money market for them
and preventing necessary renewals of
their notes. The liabilities of the firm
are said to be about 81, 100000 and the
assets, though hard to assemble, will be
sufficient, it is said, to pay all creditors In
full.
The publishing house of D. Appleton &
Co. was established seventy-five years
ago, and the first book bearing the imprint
of the firm was a small book of Bible
texts published in 1881, called Crumbs
from the Masters Table" Since that time
the house has become best known by It's
reproductions In the United States Of
foreign scientific works and the higher
literature Of an educational character It's
grammars, dictionaries, encyclopedias, sci
ence text books and other useful works
in English and foreign languages are ex-
tensively used for educational purposes
through the country. The closing of such
houses as Harpers' and Appletons is a
and literature, and is not an encouraging
sign of American progress in the higher
| lines of civilization.

can be recognized. The amiable marquise
never even mentions persons who are not
of the haute noblesse. and her tattle is
strictly confined to the doings and sayings
of the kings and queens, princes and prin-
cesses and dukes and duchesses of her in
innate acquaintance.
The familiarity which she betrays with
the family affairs OF the upper crust Of
European aristocracy Is sufficient to fill
the souls of our simple republican danes
with dark despair, were 1t not for the
fact that 1t gives them something to talk
about and an opportunity to discuss with

of their acauaiptances as have not
made tour of Europe, the people I
have met" at dear "Paree' or Flor
once" or in the "Revry."
1t is most pleasing and gracious conde-
scension on the part of this dear Mar
quise de Fontenoy to impart to us rude
and uncultured Americans such valuable
tit-bits of information as that the young
Duke OF Westminster and his grandpa
were very cross with each other and that
the young duke has gone to Timbuctoo,
In company with his two aunts, for the
purpose of lodging the Grosvenors. This
priceless gem of information will no
doubt be greatly treasured in Chicago.
while st. Louis may cogitate over the de-
lightful news that Mrs CORVALLIS Vests
daughter, the beautiful Princess Henry
of Pless, has been blessed with a child,
which turns out to be very small boy
which will have to bear the infection of
two godmothers for the rest Of It's natural
life.
The sadly solemn way in which the
marquise. comments upon the sheriff max
ing a raid on the trunks-that Is to say,
baggage-of that ornament to the Spanish
nobility, the Duke Of Veragua is touching
in the extreme This painful incident,
the maTquise hastens to assure her read
ers by way of consolation, is not without
precedent
The marvel of all this is that an Amer
lean newspaper should arrive at the con-
clusion that 1t IS profitable to pay for
such letters and to print them. Perhaps
there are some people in the United
States who will buy a newspaper just
for the purpose OF. reading what the Mar

"SPHERES OF INFLUENCE" FOR
PUERTO RICAN MISSIONS.

A singular disclosure is made to the
New York Herald by Rev. DIR. Charles w.
Drees, who is to represent the Methodist
Episcopal church in Puerto Rico Accord
ing to Dr. Drees the different Protestant
denominations engaging in missionary
work in Puerto Rico have decided to di-
vide the island among them, creating sep
arate spheres of influence the object,
it is stated, being to avoid duplicating
missions in the sparsely populated por-
tons Of the island. The Episcopalians
will have Ponce for the center Of their
sphere of influence; the Baptists Will dis
seminate their doctrine in sphere hay
ing San Juan as its center, and the Pres
byterians will radiate the tenets of John
Knox from Mayaguez. DR.. Drees will es-
tablish another sphere for the Methodists.

Every one has noticed the cessation of
crime In st. Paul for the last week or
two, but the cause Is just coming to light.
First, of course, there was the new chief,
that helped some. But it was only when
he began to think that the true reform
began. He thought for fully ten minutes
one evening, and asked himself questions
on the Sheldon plan; what would real
chief Of police do? And the still. small
voice said: Arrest some one; arrest some
thing; arrest anything! So he sailed
forth to obey the voice of conscience.
He prayed while on his way that he might
meet something that he coufd arrest. And
10! up by the Grand on Sixth street his
prayer was answered. He saw two very
wicked looking boys, one of ten, the other
about seven. They were savage, desper-
ate looking criminals from Minneapolis,
bloodthirsty wretches with evil eyes and
dirty faces. Here was the cause Of crime

LETTERS FOR THE sNoRs.

Among the wonders of contemporary
literature are the series of articles pub
lished in diverse newspapers in this great
republic which are headed "Marquise de
Fontenoy Letter, by the Marquise de Fon-
tenoy." 1t would be unl1ind to charac-
terize these letters as the essence of con-
centrated snobbery, but the chief topics
discussed therein, and the manner In which
they are handled, would have furnished
the late lamented Mr.Thackeray with ma
terial for another chapter in one of his
most biting satirical works.
The Marquise de Fontenoy, if the title
is anything to go by, must be of the fem
mime gender, and, accepting this as a
fact, she may be referred to as she
very appropriately.
She is evidently accustomed to the
very highest circles of European society,
the inner sanctuaries, where The new-rich

''By a sharp bargain that little
company of men in Paris has pur-

their 12.000000 souls. But any man
with intellect should be ashamed
to affirm that because we have
bought the islands we have pos

get possession. Bishop Potter Jan.

hall, Brooklyn, to the Civitas CLUB.

Now, it would seem at least Fea-
sonable that the conquering or pur-
