LETTER FROM TUCSON
The Departure of supt. Randolph-A
 New Shelter.

Tucson. July 27.-(Special Correspond ence of The Republican )-~Anlong ihe many changes which have recently been announced m railroad circ.es. probably none created greater surprise and disappointment than the resigna- tion of MT. Epes Randolph.
 This gentleman. as Is we'll known. has had charge of the Tucson division Of the Southern Pacific for a number of years. It is simple justice to say that no other gentleman has eyer oecupied the position who has won for himself so enviable a position as Mir. Ran doiph. His thorough Knowledge of the duties incumbent upon general super intendent gave him superior advan- tages in the faithful execution of his trust. His calmness. thoughtfulness and perfect self boise enabled him to decide and act with promptness and without wounding the sensibilities of any one under his authority. By his courtesy. urbanity and generous dis posal of vexed questions which con- etantly arise he won the confidence and respect of the entire community. By his keen sense of justice and fair deal ing with the men under his comma nd he gained the united affection and de- votion of the employees. Thus he pro- tected the corporation by securing the confidence of the public and command ed the admiration of the operating force by his consistent and manly treatment. Perhaps 1t may be said of Mir. Randolph as of no other man that he possessed the sincere respect of ev- cry employe. from the humblest tap per" to the most responsible and ex- alted office man. This he accomplished not by what he said or did. but by what he was. In like manner the public par took of this sentiment All who had business connections and dealings with the s. P. Go. knew md felt that In MT. Randolph they would find a just solu- tion for every dispute that might arise. In this manner. and through the strong individuality of one man. there grew up in this county feeling of satisfac- ton with this corporation which had never existed before. Instances are on record where parties who felt aggrieved by the technical strictness of official rulings have waived a portion of their rights in compromise because of the equitable treatment which they receiv- ed at the hands of Mir. Randolph. Hence when 1t was generally known that MT. Randolph had resigned and would soon depart from the scenes of his great ex- ecutive business triumphs 1t may be

certain striking characteristics she
was able by her superior mental en-
dowment and physical vigOr to give
great impetus to whatever cause she
devoted herself. And as she was a wo-
man of great activity before whom the
code of the Journalist went to the
ground, her intelligent comprehension
of affairs made her work especially
valuable. Those who can recall the
feverish activity of the city in the
work of sustaining the Union soldiers
at the time of the Secession War, will
not forget her vigorous and inspiring
efforts.
She possessed a great brain and a
great heart and was capable of the
most tremendous enthusiasm and sym
pathy With her rare intellectual gifts
she naturally wrote for the press.
The city dailies during her life con-
tanned much from her pen.
This volume is made up of selections
from her recognized letters to two of
the Worcester dailies. If it had besn
feasible to copy from her very large
and wide personal correspondence
fuller idea of her varied gifts would
have been revealed to the new genera
ton of readers. They may now get
red hot from the wire" columns of
news" more or less hysteric, more or
less reliable, from day to day, but
will scarcely find better comments on
the topics of the times than were fur
nished by this rare woman. Her writ
ings for the press of 20 and 40 years
ago were copied into the best jour
nails of the land with great regular
ity as frequently as they appeared.
Some Of the best of her work APP
peared in the editorial columns of The
Spy, and if gathered together would
furnish a good illustration of the va
riety and wealth of her intellectual
resources. She married an editor, Mr..
Goddard, who was shy, as Mr.. Dole
says in a letter which he furnished for
this volume. But he is not so for
tunate in his term when he speaks of
him as taciturn. Mr.. Goddard was not
ready in small talk" He was shy,
but no man more bold and resolute
for a principle, no man more sympa-
thetic and generous, no man whose
| utterance was better, freer or more di-
rect when the time for saying it came.
If all editorial work could be kept
to the high standard required by Mr..
Goddard, the press of the land could
be truly a mighty power. Mrs. Cod
dard always went to him as her crit
ic guide and standard in times of
doubt as to the wisdom of her own
work. In the years of her widowhood
she often regretted that her friendly
crlIlc was no louSel dplS " Help ASl'
But it was at this time that she was
writing some of her best productions
for The Spy.
The selections from Mrs. Goddard
letters which appear in this volume
will be read with great interest by
those who were of her time, and will
furnish to a later generation of read
ers an example of what was good in
thought and style, years ago, and is
equally good, today.
Subscribers to the book will find their
copies at the store of Davis & Ban
lister. A limited edition of the Let
ters" will be for sale there at $3.50

life of Israel Putnam is more than
of general interest in this vicinity
where an active effort has been made
to preserve Rufus Putnam's old home
at Rutland.
The book is handsomely illustrated
with the portraits and views illustrat-
ing scenes that General Putnam made
famous. The author says that he had
access to some original sources of in
formation relating to Israel Putnam
which have never been found in any
form or presentation of his life. These
documents include the official reports
and the diary which he kept while on
the voyage to the South, his general
orders and letters by his own hand or
dictated by him at different periods of
his life.
His Telegraph is characteristic of the
time when literary defects were COM
mon, when men spelled incorrectly,
punctuated carelessly, used capitals
with lawlessness. His was the educa-
ton by an adventurous and purpose
full life 1t was this that made him a
notable figure among American heroes.
A new light is thrown upon Putnam S
career, not only by the material of
which he was the author, but by jour
nails, letters and other writings OF
many of his comrades and associates.
A reputation for indomitable courage,
ready resourcefulness, practical eff
cheney, sterling integrity, warm heart
ed comDanionablenes that he gained
in the Colonial Wars was a valuable
help in the first years Of the American
Revolution because it inspired the pa
triots under his leadership.
The dramatic career of General Put
nam, even before his sensational de-
parture from his home at the news of
the Battle of Lexington, leaving the
plough in the field gives rich material
for this work. The work Of the histor-
ical society in erecting memorials, in
marking the historical spots to which
Putnam's name is associated, adds
greatly to the interest in the book
OF course more could be written
about the man who accomplished so
much, but the book has been made to
conform to the series known as The
American Men Of Energy 1t is quite
certain that Putnam's life belongs in
this series. He was one of the most
energetic men of his day

AAAAAAAAAAAAA.AAAAeAAAAAA

There are eight stories included un-
der this title. They are FIRST present
ed here to the American reading pub
lie, though written in the years 1886
and 1891 The first story is the most
pretentious, but not altogether the best
of the lot. They are all stories of
peasant life. or, as he describes them,
Tales Of the Barefoot Brigade"
The stories are full Of what we
should call coarse sentiment if written
by an English or American author.
Still our own literature had its pc
riod Of this sort of thing, and there are
certainly distinguishing qualities about
the stories that give their author a
high rank. The descriptions Of hum
BILE scenes, the pictures Ct nature and
the delineations of character are the
work of a masterhand, but there is too
much narrative, too much description,
too little Of the story and lack Of
point about the work
great many foreign writers are
unused to the dramatic requirements
of American taste. QUO Vadis' GER
tainly was not lacking in this charac-
teristic. But many authors who have
been ikened to SienkiewicZ lack that
vivid storytelling ability, while they
possess equal facility in rendering
scenes and situations into words.
European readers apparently appre-
ciate this ability. while Americans Ike
the rendering into literature of action
and movement In these stories some
of the views Of life are foreign TO all
our own ideas. but they are none the
less interesting.
They would appeal to the social re-
former and the socialist agitator as
something out Of the ordinary: though
to most Of us they seem 10 reveal NOR
bid conditions or morbid viewpoints.
They are like complaints made for
mere delight in fault-fnding.
