His gift is 0bseryation-the keen,
penetrating and all-devouring glance.
He watches the human animal. He
studies him, not with sympathy. for he
has scant respect for him, but with
an Unsuitable curiosity. He notes his
every turn and motion, every look and
gesture. He strips off his mask, ex-
poses his hypocrisy, pursues him into
the privacy of those actions which he
supposes safe from the gaze of men,
lays bare the root of meanneSS and
selfishness and nricks the bubble of
his responsibility. And what he sees
he writes. His vast store Of facts he
poUrs out in his novels. In the We'll
known judgment of Taine, Baizac is,
after Shakespeare, the writer who
offers the largest collection of human
documents" One sees at once on ex-
aiming these documents the new
prevalence of things. The whole ma
terial background of our lives is
brought into view. 1t has been said of
Balzac that he first gave US novels in
which people eat His people are no
distractions They are not the mere
masks of ideas, as HugO's sometimes
are. They are not the invincible con-
querors of circumstance that Dumas
loves. They do not live by the forces
of heart and Will and mind. like the
heroes and herOines of George SaHd.
They are creatures of flesh and blood,
obedient to instinct, amenable to
hunger and the other bodily appetites.
They are narrowly dependent on their
material environment, and they move
in the midst of all those things which
both characterize and determine them
their clothes, ornaments, houses,
furniture, pictures, china, gardens,
horses and carriages and all the rest.
Of the four names, Hugo, Dumas,
Sand and Balzac, il is Balzac's that
has loomed largest in the domain of
the novel as the years have flown.
That is partly his good fortune, for the
pendulum of the worlds thought, es-
pecially under the impulse of the ply
steal and biological sciences and of the
idea of democracy, has been swinging
in the direction of his view of the
world. and everywhere more and more
men have felt themselves under the
sway of that "oVermastering sense of
this present world that was pre-
eminently his. But partly also it has
been well deserved; for beyond ques-
ton he was one of the most prodig-
ious minds that have SO far given
themselves to the novel

of said Office on his petition and
that he did not draw up his own
petition, (or he worded it, one of

The Trial of Col sutton was Commenced
at Lansing on April s5-The Prose-
cutIon is Scheming to Save as Much
Time as Possible.

Although the prosecution expects TO
make more rapid progress in the SUIT
ton case than was made in the trial OF
Gen. Marsh, the chances are that the
trial commenced on the 25th will not
be finished before May TO- Should the
defense have many witnesses, it will
be nearer May Is when the end is
reached. 1t is expected that time will
be made at the commencement OF the
trial, Judge West having already con-
sidered and passed upon most OF the
motions and objections. These motions
include all those made in behalf OF
Marsh. The prosecution hopes to gain
further time by offering in bulk many
of the exhibits, consisting of vouchers,
etc, which had to be read into the
Marsh record, this consuming much
time. There are other portions of the
testimony that can be treated SINH
larly if the defense would consent.
The entire first day was spent in n
strenuous effort on the part of the de-
Tense to secure continuance, claiming
that Tom L. johnson, the street car
magnate who is taking u trip to
Europe, was a material witness, and
the challenging of jurors by the de-
Tense. Judge West denied the motion
for continuance, and this made Capt.
Atkinson warm under the collar and
nc challenged the entire array OF
Jurors.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

When the no Use resumed considera-
ton of the postoffice appropriation bill
on the 25th, the item appropriation
$725, 900 for pneumatic tube service, an
increase of $500, 900 over the appropria-
tion for the current year, was the sub
iect of two hours debate under the ar
rangement previously made, and was
finally knocked out by a vote of 81 to
so. The immediate cause of the sud
den death of the bill was due to a
scandal connected with it, which Mr..
Moody Mass exposed. 1t was to the
effect that a large block of stock in the
Pneumatic Tube company had been
rendered to prominent member of the
house as a New Years gift, undoubt-
edly for services to be rendered in get
ting the bill through congress.
The house on the cath adopted the
Foraker emergency resolution to con
| tinue the present officers in Puerto
Rico Office until the appointments are
made under civil government act as
amended by the committee on insular
affairs. The amendments require that
all franchises snail be approved by the

Accident at the Paris Exposition - Six

had Been Condemned Collapsed.
Accident at the Paris Exposition.

An accident within the exposition
grounds caused the death of six persons
and injury to many on the Goth. A
temporary bridge, unable to Withstand
the Sunday crowd, broke. 1t is now
known that six persons were killed and
about 40 others injured. The accident
threw pail over the happiness of an
immense throng who had profted by
the magnificent weather to visit the
exposition. Strangely enough, the
bridge had been condemned by the eX-
hibition authorities on the same day of
the accident. The public was there
fore not allowed upon the structure,
and in this way a disaster even more
terrible than which occurred was
averted. The gay crowd was passing
along the avenue and some hundred OF
more persons were walking beneath
the bridge, when suddenly al ominous
crash was heard. Before those under
meath could turn aside the structure
fell with a fearful crash, burying
nearly so.
