Two Could Do 1t.

Basel, Switzerland, was visited q
lew years ago by an adventurous
Frenchman whose ruling passion is the
ascent of mountains Stunned by most
other tourists who value at least their
soundness Of limb. He tried strenu-
ously to scale the Gopaltenborn, for
the sake of carrying his name upon
the peak, but all his efforts were vain.
The next year he returned to the at
tack, and eventually, by taking many
precautions, arrived at the summit.
On his next appearance at the table
dhote he recounted his exploit to the
company and informed them that he
had planted on the spot blue silk flag
containing his name embroidered in
large characters.
An Englishman, who had listened
silently, rose from the table and
marched out of the hotel. Two days
afterward parcel was delivered to
the adventurous Gaul. He opened Il
and found inside his blue silk flag.
which his English neighbor at the table
d'hote had won from the peak by his
own pluck and daring.

essays on English literature, while his prefaces
to the poems of Pope are introductions to the

Mr.. W. L. ALDEN, IN his London letter
to The Times, asks:
"FIas Frank Norris's Nc league been published
in America yet? 1t /, most unpleasant book,
but a real book. The author has genuine power"
"McTeague" was published by Us six
months ago and has gone through four
editions. To-day we issue MIR. Norris's
new novel, "A Mans Woman" [$1.50l
which begins as the story of an Arctic ex-
ploration party, and develops into novel
OF dramatic power with no unpleasant"
side. A book, to Use a hackneycd phrase,
of extraordinary power and able writing.
Apropos of Mr.. A1den's question as to
whether "McTeague" has been published
IN America, he may be interested to hear
that H. B. Claflin & Co. have just pur-
chased an edition of 10000 IN paper covers.
NO book of poetry printed for years has
sold as Mr.. Markham's volume, The
Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems"
There has been strong need expressed for
this poem by itself and an account Of how

piled by a handsome paper-covsred book

THE PUBLISHERS POINT
OF VIEW.

TIE first question which meets the an
l. nouncement of Miss Tarbelrs Life
of Lincoln is, of course: Why Is an
other life of Lincoln dcsirab bic or necessary
The answer we believe adequate:
Miss Tarbell, by years of study, travel,
and research, discovered great quantities of
nezD material which has enabled her to pre-
pare the first real personal life of the man.
AS we take it, this is an ample reason /;
any really new light on the life and
character of Abraham Lincoln is of the ut-
most importance to the world. We shall
not attempt to further describe the work,
except to say that 1t is issued in two hand
some, digniiied and well-illustrated volumes,
and that the price is $780,

NORFOLK AND WESTERN
THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
ACQUIRES INTEREST.
(By Telegraph to Virginlan-P ilot.)

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.)
New York. April president Henry
Fink. of the Norfolk and Western, to-
day confirmed the report that the
Pennsylvania had purchased a consid-
cradle amount of the company's com
mon and preferred stock, although the
total is far from enough to indicate
a change in control. He said that he
WAS very much pleased with the in
terest taken by the PENNSYLVANIA in
the Norfolk and Western, and was con-
fident that the position OF the road and
of its securities had been materially
strengthened by recent developments.
The newly commandments tho
Pennsylvania in Norfolk and Western.
said Mr.. Fink, has been taken with
the same idea In mind as that which
in the past four months has prompted
large Investments in Baltimore and
Chesapeake and Ohio. In none OF these
cases have the purchases been large
enough to give the acQuirer the power
to dictate policies, and this has not
been desired. 1t has resulted In a
change in personnel in the Board Of
Directors in the two last named roads.
and when the proper time arrives will
show in the same way In the Norfolk
and Western Board of Directors. Under
the plan of reorganization of the Nor
iOin ana w eSteTU, the common STOCK
does not have the same representation
as the preferred, and will not until Sep
TENDER of next year At present the
preferred has the right to elect two
thirds of the Board of Directors. For
this reason the largest part of the buy
ing by Pennsylvania in this has been
in Norfolk and Western preferred.
Talking about the matter. Mr.. Fink
said that 1T was yet too early to lndi-
cate the retiring members OF the Board
OF Directors and their likely successors.
He added:
II think the interest that the Penn
sylvnnia has taken In the Norfolk and
Western Is the best thing that could
nave happened. II gives us a strong
ally. and the fact that so powerful a
corporation as the Pennsylvania has a
direct concern In our interest increases
our prestige. The talk that the Penn
sylvania has made the move to stop
rate-cutting Is senseless. we have for
number Of years had very close traffic
relations, and there have been no dis
putes. AS for buying to checkmate
some probable purchase By the South
ern Railway, I regard that also as hav-
Ing no basis. I don't think the South
ern ever strongly considered buying the
Norfolk and Western"
President Fink said that one great
advantage to his road OF Pennsylvania
interest was a relief from the ultimate
necessity OF extensions from Columbus,
Ohio, to the Lakes and from Hagers-
town. Nd. North through Pennsylva-
MIA. Connections are now made with
the Pennsylvania at both these points.
He said that the continued requirement
of representation by-large financial In
terests In different railroad properties
was simply an element OF necessity
growing out of the law forbidding open
agreements on rates. In his opinion.
tine small road Is gradually becoming
less influential. and must finally. II
present conditions continue. find Its
greatest strength as a working part
OF some larger system.
