RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the d

Achievement.

The ruling nations OF the world are meat
eaters and history records that they always
have been.
Negetarians and food cranks may explain
this in any way they choose, but the facts
remain that the Americans, English,
French, Russians and Germans are meat eat
ing nations, and they are also the most
energetic and most progressive.

Participated in II burglary.

w. T.. Fox, a grocer who lives over his
store at Fortieth street and Grand avenue,
filed complaint Tuesday against Will Toney,
colored. charging him with burglarizing his
store on the night of February .. Toney,
who Is now under arrest, has confessed his
guilt and has implicated another negro
named Henry Barnette, who he says helped
him do the job. The police are looking for
Barnette.
The negroes gained entrance to the store
by breaking a panel of the rear door, and
then reaching through the aperture and
lifting out a heavy steel bar which extended
across the door from jam to jam. They
then secured a coffee sack and filled 1t
with plumber, taking among other things
a number of cans of fruits and vegetables
which bore the proprietor's private mark.
Several of these cans were afterward found
under the house on Saratoga, between
Forty first and Forty-second streets, in

sued Alfred B. Johnson and l.. r. Cottrell
and John Boekhoff for the recovery of So
75S. so. which it is alleged is due by reason
of a contract which Johnson accepted for
the building of an amphitheatcr at the fair
grounds.
Cottrell and Boekhoff were Johnson's
bondsmen. 1t is said that Johnson was in
debted to them when he undertook the con-
tract and that he squared accounts with the
bondsmen out of the money which he re-
ceived from the fair association, leaving
some of his labor bills unpaid. He did not
rcpudiate the debts, but simply lacked funds
for the discharge of the obligations. the
bills were paid by the fair association 1t Is
alleged. and the total is said TO be the
amount sued for, which it is claimed is
lust so much in excess of the sum which
the association agreed to pay johnson to'

Judge Vinsonhaler of the county court
has decided that J. b. Kitchen shall be re-
tanned as executor of the estate of the late
Richard Kitchen. This ruling came about
through a protest filed against j. r. Kit
chen's administration a few weeks ago by
Elizabeth Whalen and her two sons, who
we're named as benefciaries in the Kitchen
will. 1t was alleged that the executor had
personal interests in the estate which rem

heard before Judge Vinsonhaler several days

about 5000 seats, the contract price at So
cents per seat being $i,250. Boylcs' bill,
however, accounted for 5000 seats, and the
sum Of $4,000 has been paid him on account.
The committee is not prepared to say that
there was a dishonest count on the part OF
Boyles, as it is considered possible that
there may have been an error in the prin-
cipals' and %janitors' reports. Boyles will be
asked to account as far as possible for the

BUNSON GIVES HIS OPINION
Chief Inspector in Secret Service Says En-
velopes Were Tempered With,
BOYLES ASKED TO EXPLAIN DISCREPANCY
Committee Is Unable to Find Three
Thousand Seats which He Claims
to Have Cleaned During
the Last Year.

The Board of Education investigating
committee resumed its sittings yester-
day, but Immediately adjourned until to-
day. Attorney Gaines, conducting the
inquiry, was obliged to attend district court,
anu two of the committee were also occu-
pied with private business. The testimony
regarding the alleged opening and re-seal-
ing of bids will be in the form of an ath-
davit from A.. ID. BunsOn, chief inspector
in the postal secret service at st. Louis. The
letters alleged TO have been opened were
taken to st. Louis by Inspector Sinclair OF
the Omaha office and examined carefully by
Bunson, who has the reputation of being
the most acute detective in his line in the
United States. Bunson found evidence that
three of the proposals were opened and has
signed a positive statement to that effect.
The envelopes originally enclosed bids
from the Northwestern Slate company. Min
ueapolis; the Bangor Slate company, Easton,
Pa, and a slate contractor of Slatington,
Pa. The contract for the three new build
ings amounted to 5000 square feet, the cost
being in the neighborhood of 81, 600. Detect
i've f. X. Buckminster secured the con-
tract through the cooperation of Member
Ccwie, aided in part, it is said, by informa-
ton obtained from prematurely opened bids.
He is now filling the contract and the first
car of slate will arrive in a few days.
The grounds for the experts opinion re-
garding the opening OF the envelopes are
plain even to the uninitiated. Slight smears
are discernible along the edge OF the over
tapping portion of the envelopes. Much
lage has also been applied beyond the point
usual in other envelopes, the sealed portion
extending to the corners without an inter
yCuing space.

1t Happened by Josephine Winfield Brake.
The book is liable to provoke criticism
from the conservatives 1t is a realistic
love story Of the present day, and somehow
one feels in reading it that the author drew
most of her scenes, and even dialogues, in
the first of the three parts, from life-and
life at close range. There are heart throbs

indeed, feels a slight sense of embarrass-
ment as of a third party intruding upon love

ADVICE TO YOUNG NOTELISTS
From The London Academy


Young novelists and would be novelists might
do we'll to ponder the advice just given by Herr
Gustav treytag TO student who had sent him
tag excused himself for reading the novel
and then wrote (his words have direct appli-
cation to many young man now in business
or i'll a non-literary profession who thinks seri-
Ously of taking to lterature):
Even if you possessed the greatest poetical
power, and talent for narrative great
that of Walter Scott Dickens and others Of the
best, you ought not at present to think of put
ting your scientific studies into the background
and risk your future existence on novel writing
or other poetical activity. You must first, by
serious work and the position it may make for
you among your fellow men, ripen to manhood
and you must gain a certain mastery over life
before you can have the right to idealize in
artistic work the fate of man. On the path you
inclined to follow you will only reap
disappointment and probably speedy decline
of your powers.
In the empty and uncertain existence of an
author you will only learn to know the time
imperfectly and from the wrong side. Observa-
ton alone does not educate man; il needs
above all a hrm position In circle of worldly
interests and clear duties. AS a young author
you would, after a half success only be able to
gain tolerably secure place as a Journalist a
profession very unfavorable to artistic creation
My warning is the result of what / have OBJ
served during my life of the fate of many young
writer's, and it is truth which | have repeat
eddy had cause to state: for the number of those
who, like you, would like to choose the pleasant
game of free invention instead Of the self-denial
and eXertion of scientific research is very great
Whether your talent is strong enough to sup
port your whole life, | say little as any
other man. If the impulse you have lasts and
the strength to carry 1T out it viii in any case
break through all obstacles; and, If you now do
your nearest duty perfectly you may trust the
future
On this subject Mr.. Andrew Lang is also pes
simistic in 'Longmans Magazine" Nobody he
bewails, can give TO writer's security of tenure:
There are good reasons why educated young
men should beware, more than ever, of drifting
into either journalism or literature without
some more regular profession occupation or
source of income. They may be superannuated
at thirty-fve or the fashionable age may
come TO be fixed even earlier. Even novests
with a vogue must that vogue is often
ephemeral. Above all. times unpropitious for
the providers OF Nero luxuries are coming upon
US; and books are the first luXuries which people
cut down. The 'softness of the penman's lob
attracts people; it is amusing too, and offers a
promise of notoriety, il not of fame. But i, be-
comes less and less of a stable and permanent
job; the recruit of to-day is a veteran land Of
ten not "a useful yeteran) the day after to-
morrow Lawyers doctors dentists are not SUI
perannuated so rapidly. My sermon is accurate
but~like other sermons will be Improbable"

qualities of the day. and win the ear of the
public: then the minor men follow blindly For
example, much in the latter day romantic move
ment may be traced to Mr.. Anthony Hope, who
has been initiated more than any writer OF his
generation. He is himself an imitator of the
elder Dumas: but his work strongly reacted
against the tedious problem novel in vogue when
The Prisoner of zenda" appeared that it had
an enormous popularity and esta bshed kind
of cult
There is. naturally. a vast difference between
imitation and evolution, and the difficulty of ap-
plying the theory of evolution to literature is
recognized at the start by Professor Stoddard.
Literature whole he says, does not eX-
hibit the regular and sequential development
which a theory OF literary evolution would
imply and later in his first chapter he con-
tnues: Nevertheless. have to do in the
English novel with kind OF literature separate
in method and in extent from other sorts. 1t
belongs to the eighteenth and nineteenth CEN
turtles. 1t has character of its own; it is linn
tied in extent: it is specific in its selection of
subject and in its method of treatment. In
such limited field the study of development,
if possible anywhere. may be carried on with
reasonable profit of success" To meet the diff
hcuties in the way, however. Professor Stod-
dard, after an incisive survey of his general
theme, in which he has space merely to throw
out suggestions that might easily be elaborated
into essays, finds q firm basis in consideration
of the growth of personality in fiction. The first
attempts of the TO create fiction were
naturally marked by complete absence of
personality. In fact, fiction cannot be said to
have taken shape until it fell from the clouds to
earth and concerned itself with the affairs of
men.
After studying the growth of the English novel
in the middle years of the nineteenth century,
Professor Stoddard declares optimisticaly: 1T
then came to effectiveness instrument for
portraying the complex emotions of the human
soul. In its pages thenceforth one finds embodi-
ments Of individuals, personalities human
souls" Here the author ignores the many
verses which the novel has since encountered.
There has been tendency shown of late among
certain of the ''realists'' to make the novel
something wholly different from what it
was before, to it for purely scientific pur-
poses To this tendency Professor Stoddard
fers, but without. perhaps, a full appreciation
OF its import The whole subject of the novel
and its relation to life. however is in the air,
and ressts such classifcations as these two
books have made of it. On the other hand, this
very classification has its uses for the student,
