purses IN their hands. The denuncia.
I on was caused by the trial before him
Of q man who had snatchtd pocket
book from woman. AS the woman
kept her presence OF mind. gave chase
to the thief. and called for aid. the man
was captured almost Immediately. The
Judge sentenced the culprit to two
years In prison, and then. looking at
the prosecuting witness. he said: The
careless manner in which women carry
their purses nowadays imposes an un-
necessary burden upon the police. al
though their carelessness Is no excuse
for theft" The subject Of a woman's
pocket and the carrying OF her purse
in hand Is not new one. No adequate
solution seems to have been suggested.
If she carries her purse in her hand It
Is likely to be snatched. Usually she
has no pocket. and II she had one and
made use OF it the purse might cause
the pocket to bulge which would spoil
the fit Of the gown. If the Phiadel-
phia Judge would devote his energy
and talents to devising some solution
of this question Of feminine purses he
would be benefactOr to half the
human race. II he cannot do so his
criticisms are not likely to be needed.

Chinese Passengers to BE Detained at

Astoria.
Astoria, May 22.-For the first time
in the history OF this port a quarantine
has been established here against yes.
sells arriving from San Francisco. This
relates particularly to Chinese passen.
gers, as thus far all others have been
allowed to pass. Both State Health
Officer Fulton and Quarantine Officer
Hastings have received official notitica.
ton of the existence of the plague at
the bay city. and. while the latter has
received no instructions from the de.
partment to establish an interstate
quarantine he deems strict precautions
necessary to guard against the possible
introduction of the disease here, and,
together with the state health officer.
will inspect all incoming vessels from
that port and isolate all the Chinsese
passengers.
The first vessel affected by the new
regulations was the O. X. T. y. steamer
Columbia. which arrived here this
morning. She was detained in the
quarantine grounds until thorough
Inspection was made and then allowed
to come to the dock. Two Chinese
passengers were. however, taken to the
government quarantine station, where
their baggage will be fumigated, and
they will be held for about 10 days.

rare perception. Miss Caroline Krout ana
Mr.. Cox have found attractive subjects
derived from the civil war period in In
diana; and now Mr.. Thompson has gone TO
our earlier Indiana history and has again
found new and fresh fountains. Surely no
other Western State has been so fortunate
as Indiana In the Interpretation OF its own
life and history in song and story. 1t is in
such contributions as those just noted that
a permanent national literature is being
written.
1t was happy thought Of the Bowen
Merrill Company, publishers, to secure as
illustrator for this distinctively Indiana
book an Indiana artist. Mr.. Fred G. Yohn's
especial talent is for figure drawing-men
in action being his favorite subjects. His
gift is admirably displayed in his battle
pictures in Roosevelt's "Oliver Cromwell"
the soldiers there being moving creatures,
tense with excitement and the spirit Of
war. In this novel he has less scope for
his peculiar talent but at least two of the
drawings afford it opportunity. All show
the touch of the true artist, and all are
pleasing pictures.

Maurice Thompson. the author, is an In
diana man and a personal friend Of mine
The book Is strong one and is written
close 10 the soil Maurice Thompson was
especially fitted TO write just such a book,
for in his boyhood days he picked up more
Indian lore than generally falls to the lot
&C the average youth. He was a great
favoritc with the Indians and one of the
braves taught young Thompson to shoot
With a bow and arrow with such success
that the young white boy soon outrivaled
his teacher and became the best shot in
the tribe. Thompson looks as much like
ar Indian as a white man we'll could. He
has the high cheek bones, the swarthy
complexion and- the piercing eyes of the

So many Incidents in ZangwilPs novel,
'sThe Mantle of Elijah" are so sugges-
tive OF the British-Boer war that he is
accused in some quarters of having plag-
iarized war history. An English writer
comes to his defense, however. with the
assertion that the story was conceived
and worked out as IL now stands long be-
fore the BOer trouble came to a crisis.
The article goes on TO say: '"It Is just
two years since Mr.. Zangwfn signed the
contract with the Harpers in America for
the serial use of the book in their maya
zine. and also arranged for its stage pro-
ductiOn. Nor IS this the first time that Mr..
Zaugwill has shown this foresight in no
ton. which is more characteristic OF the
poets divination. In his first book, The
Premier and the Painter, published twelve
years ago, certain political events were
presaged by Mr.. Zangwill, among them the
downfall of Lord Randolph Churchill and
the Liberalization of the Conservatives. Of
n truth, II would seem that there is yet
virtue in the mantle of Elijah, and that
prophecy has not died out in Israel. 1t
is probable that few novels of the year
