A Lords Courtship.

Although the action Of this story is main
ly in Europe its motive is American as are
the most interesting characters. A young
English nobleman of good family, but in
reduced circumstances, determines to marry
a rich American girl. Setting about IL in a
businesslike way he goes to New York and
learns through an agent that two sisters,
Southern girls and very wealthy, are to sail
with their mother for England on a certain
steamer. He takes passage on the same
boat, brides the steward TO give him a seat
next the young ladies and Immediately De-
gins to court the prettier one of the two.
He has no doubt of his success, and pro-
ceeds in a very confident fashion. The girl,
however, has been appraised of his plan and
is on her guard. Besides, though very
ceptible. The young Englishman is not at
all a bad sort of fellow. and by the time
they reach England he is really and deeply
in love with the girl. In London he pays
her marked attention and renders her
essential service. When the sisters go TO
Italy he follows, proposes and is rejected.
The girl loves a manly young American
lawyer whom, although he has no title. she
prefers to the lord. The older sister is
wooed and won by another American. The
story ends with a double wedding. 1t has
considerable action, and the characters. of
which there are several besides those above
named. are well drawn. 1t is written by

one of the greatest feats of architectural
construction ever accomplished in this
country, for, considering the magnitude of
the project, the contractors went forward
with marvellous speed and finished several
days before the time limit of the contracts.
1t took less h ten days to place the TIL
ing on the roof, this work including the
ireproofing and cementing OF the entire
top of the building.
Chairman Swofford yesterday ordered the
carpenters to begin on the construction Of
the stage and platform for the speakers
and newspaper men during the convention.
1t was the intention of Mr.. Swofford TO
start this work several days earlier, but the
fireproofing contractors who have been ce-
menting the roof garden and balconies have
not made as rapid progress as promised
and the platform construction was put OF
from day to day in the hope that the other
work on the interior of the hall would be
finished more rapidly so that when night
came over half of the work had been COM
pleted.
The speakers platform, with the newspa-
per writer's stages, will occupy about half
of the arena floor. The speakers platform
will be in the exact center of the east side
of the hal, and will extend out into the
arena lightweight feet. 1t Will be forty
FIVE feet wide The platforms for the news
paper men will be on each side of the
speakers stage. These platforms Will be
at the edges, rising slightly as they prog
ress ckw Each one OF the writer's
platforms will be forty-iye by seventy-hve
feet in size and desks will be provided Tor
over six hundred working newspaper men.
There will be electric lights for the writers
and these will be so placed that one light
will serve two men.
The arena floor not occupied with the
speakers and newspaper writer's platforms
will be devoted TO the accommodation or
the delegates and a~lternates. Permanent
opera chairs have been placed in the bal
comics, but in the arena space folding camp
chairs will be used for the newspaper men
and the delegates.
The Postal Telegraph Company has made
It's usual arrangements for the accommo-
dation of the visiting newspaper men. The
entire lower floor OF the company's general
office building at Eighth and Delaware
streets will be placed at the disposal OF
the correspondents. Here desks Will be
provided and all other conveniences for the
men who will send out to the world the
news of the convention. AT all national
conventions Ii has been the custom or the
Postal Company to place the very best
facilities at the command OF the newspaper
men, and the Kansas City office will follow
precedent in elaborate style

Short Novels.

The Doubleday & Mcclure Company, New
York. are publishing What they call 1.-THE
Short Novel Series" the aim of which is to
present in an attractive form, cloth bound,
yet at a very low price. some of the many
good NOVELTIES which are generally consid-
cred too short to make a book OF by them
selves and which are therefore often made
to carry a volume of short stories not so in
terestiEg. The latest issues in the series are
''Bennie Ben Cree" by Arthur Cotton, a
well-written and spirited story of the civil
war period. and "A Christian but a Ro-
man." by Maurus Jokai. the scene of
which is laid in the period when the
v~iciousness of Rome's rulers was beginning
TO ~foreshadow her overthrow, and when to
embrace the Christian faith was to invite
death and torture. Both of these volumes
are published in uniform style with preced-
ing ones in the same series.

Mary ]. Stafford has made an admirable
translation Of Wilhelm Walloth's romance
of the reign OF Nero. The story of the
Inflated consort of the most cruel ruler
the world has known is told without any
attempt at dramatic effect, yet 1. is fully
as thrilling as "Quo vadis,' and, as an
historical romance, should rank with
sienkiewicz's work. In "Quo Vadis." the
vices of Nero's time are painted some
what stronger thar in Empress Octavia,"
and the description of the burning of Rome
may be more eloquent than anything In
Walloth's story, but the German writer
scores enough points in other respects 10
make up for any he may lose in vivid. re-
alistic portrayal. The story is based on
Nero's passion for the wicked. beautiful
Poppaea 4Sabina and his efforts 10 get rid
of Octavia. his lawful wife. Metellus, an
athletic young sculptor with the form and
face OF an Apollo, who worsted Nero in
one OF the ~latter's midnight pranks in the
streets Of Rome is employed as an in
strument to compromise Octavia and there
by give the Emperor an excuse TO divorce
her, divorce In her case, OF course, mean
ing death. Metellus is made an inmate
of the palace, for what purpose he does
not know, but learns later TO his sorrow.
He Is ordered 10 make a bust of the En-
press, the object OF Nero and his chief
adviser being 10 throw Octavia and Me-
telius together as much as possible. Be
fore Metellus begins his work he meets
Octavia in the garden, mistakes her for
a maid and falls in love with her. When
he learns her identity he endeavors to re-
press his feelings. but Cupid has also

press. to the undoing OF both. Later when

slowly into sight an apparently endless
train of field artillery, machine guns, am
munition wagons. ambulances. tool carts.
forage and store wagons, and numbers OF
led horses. 1t is only when this heteroge-
neous procession has come to an end that
the thickening of the dust-cloud and the
measured tramp-tramp-tramp! herald the
approach of the infantry brigades. On they
come, rifles at the slope or at the trail,
talking, laughing, joking, singing, smoking,
as though war and its attendant horrors
were a thousand miles away. On they come
and still ont Battalion after battalion;
brigade after brigade.
1t becomes almost monotonous after a
while, for the mighty fighting machines,
each composed of a thousand or more indi-
vidual lighting units, swinging past with
mata. Everything moves as IL by clock
work. Thirty PAGES interval is the regula-
ton distance between battalions and
b~rigades, and thirty PAGES interval it is
no more. no less. There is no slackening,
no -besitancy, for all the apparent free
and-easiness. A company lags but a foot
or two; it is spurred sharply forward by
a biting phrase-half e~Xpostulation, half
command-uttered by its captain n bat
talon does likewise; n a wave of the
hand from its ever-watchful chief sends
the adjutant galloping down the right
flank, exploding as he goes. So is the
force kept strung up" And a very neces-
sary process is this same stringing up.
The loss OF a few yards at the head means
hundreds at the tail. a trivial check 10
the front of a long column is a serious de-
lay to the men in the rear of it, and con-
tinual stepping out or rapid closing tends
to exhaust troops.
With the passing of the rearmost brigade
the interest TO the average spectator large
~ vanishes. True, there follow more ma
chine guns, more tool carts, ammunition
wagons, led horses, ETC., but all these We
have seen before. The bearer companies,
with their trim stretchers and the red
cross of Geneva showing c~onSpicuouSly on
their tunic sleeves, arouse a brief curiosity,
but they are out of sight. swallowed up
in the dust-cloud almost ere We realize
their presence. If, however. we care TO
occupy our kopje for another hour or so
we shall see yet another cloud of dust
advancing toward us. This is formed by
the baggage train, which follows all armies.
Lastly comes the rear. guard, followed by
a small detachment of military police,
whose duty is to look after s~tragglers.

The international Year Book.

The plan of this work is unique, it being
a cyclopedia of events and compendium of
the worlds progress during the year 1899.
The year was rather unusually full of i'm
portant events. In the United States the
development of trade, industry and agricul-
ture marked it as one of the most prosper
Gus years in our history, and our political
record had special interest from the new
issues that presented themselves in our
colonial policy. In foreign affairs there
were the war in the Transvaal. The Hague
conference, the Alaska boundary dispute,
the settlement of the Fashoda affair. the
Few International status of Japan, the An
g~lo-RuSsian agreement regarding China.
portant discoveries were made during the
year in archaeology, medicine, anthro-
pology. experimental psychology, engineer
ing, geology, chemistry, botany and ply
sizes. All these topics are treated of in this
work. There are biographies of Generals
Roberts and Butler, Of Cecil Rhodes. Presi-
dent Kruger, Generals Lawton and Joubert,
Robert Ingersoll, Robert Bonner. Evange-
list Moody, Joseph Chamberlain, and scores
or others who Inquired c0nSpicuOuSly or who
died during the year. The important new
books and new plays of the year are men,
toned, there are sketches of all the prin-
cipal countries, governments, armies and
navies of the world, statistics regarding al
most every branch of industry, and infor-
nation concerning all the important events
of the year, all arranged alphabetically and
accompanied by many illustrations and
maps. The work is a mine of
book. It's editors are Professor Frank NJ.
Colby. of the New York University, and
Professor III. t. Peck, of Columbia Univer-
sity, and the list of contributors contains
or scientific circles. The work is published
by Dodd, Mead d Co., New York.

II is probable that the President will re-
main away from Washington almost the
entire summer. He will receive the COM
mittee appointed 10 notify him of his re-
nomination at Canton, and. although he
does not intend TO make a campaign such
as he did in 1896. he does not desire 10 come
back TO the White House for any length OF
time while the contest Is on. Talking about
this matter the other day. he said that
while he regretted not being able 10 spend
much OF his time at the White House. yet
he felt that he needed a good. long vaca-
ton. Another reason for staying away from
Washington during the summer was that
IL he, was here and the politicians and
statesmen could call on him he would have
TO receive them as a candidate. and he did
not think Ii proper as the President OF the
United states TO make the White House
campaign headquarters.
