No one will ask for better holiday
reading than that which the Christmas
number of McClure's Magazine will
is to be mentioned John LaFarge's
article on Michael Angelo" the first
of a series in which, during the follow
ing year this great artist and critic of
our own day will discuss in the pages
of McClure's the greatest artists OF the
past. "A Mendicant" by Adachi Kin
nosuki. is a tale of Japan in the hey
day of romance, touchingly simple in
plot and full of the spirit of the medic
val idealism which finds it's prototypes
in the West in the tales of troubadours
and Ministries. In this number, also,
commences a serial certain to attract
national attention-Stewart Edward
Whites 1.-The Forrest Runner"
novelette,, the scene of which is laid in
the forests of Michigan. The S. S. Nc
Clure Company, New York.
The Christmas Ladies' Home Jour
nal is the largest number of that mag
azine ever issued. and the quality
seems in keeping with the quantity. 1t
opens with an account of THE People
Who Help Santa Claus" after which
comes a story by Elizabeth McCrack-
en-, entitled THE Baby Behind the Cur
tain" There are many other arti-
Giles and stories. and the number is
one that will be sure to please. The

In the Christmas number of Lippin-
colts Magazine there appears COM
pleted novel by Louis Evan Shipman.
the author of darcy of the Guards. :"
AS compliment to its hero, the title
is Ralph Tarrant." There is the same
sparkle and spirit so much admired
in the authors earlier book, while in
plot this may be said to outdistance it's
predecessor. In addition to the COM
plete novel there are many short sto-
| ries in the Christmas Lfppincotts; one
| of these is the latest love- story of the
sea by Cyrus Townsend Brady. 1t is
called 1.-THE Captain of H. b. M. Ship
| Diamond Rock" 1t is as stirring as
anything the distinguished author has
yet done, and tells how a seaman COM
| manded a fortified rock. 1.-The Unfin-
ished Elegy," by Karl Edwin Harrl-
man, is a pathetic Christmas story
about a musician. A charming sort of
alice in Wonderland" story is con-
tributed by young Englishwoman, E.
Ayrton. 1t is entitled THE Little Gate
of Fairyland." Paul Laurence Dun
bars story called 1.-THE Visiting of
Mother Danbury' continues his series
of tales about types of Ohio country
people. The touch of humor is never
lacking in these sometimes tragic
scenes. The "Walnuts and Wine" de-
partment this month is merry with a

FROM WATER FRONT
NEW sCHoONERs BEING ADDED TO
THE COAsTWIsE FLEET.
ENGAGING IN LUMBER TRADE
ONE NEW VESSEL HERE AND AN
OTHER BOUND FROM MAINE.

The Economy in Operating the
schooner Makes 1t the Most For
midabIe Freight Competitor in the
WorId-Schooner savannah Large
~ Owned by President Parsons OF
the street Railway-Matters of In
tercst to shippers and Mariners.
Judging from the number of new
schooners being turned out of Ameri-
can shipyards at present those engag-
ed in sail transportation do not antici-
pate the early decline of this craft in
the shipping world. One of the recent
ly built schoonerS, the Savannah, is
now in port, and another the Frances
9. Tunnel, a vessel of 1888 tons regis
try, has sailed for Savannah from Mill
bridge, Me. The tendency of late years
has been to build the schooner larger,
and the successful experiments which
have been made in this direction war;
rant the belief that this craft admits
of many improvements by designers.
The many vicissitudes of the schooner
in competing with other craft on the
seas, and its superiority over all in
point of cost of operation, have placed it
in the front rank of the worlds sailing
vessels. When it becomes necessary to
cut rates to meet competition the
schooner can do it with less loss than
any other craft. 1t is therefore improb
able that it is ever to be driven from
the seas. On the contrary the fact that
oil li,oac ora
being added yearly to the present large
coastwise fleet shows the confidence
owners feel in this class of vessels.
The launch Roamer, at the foot of
Barnard street, will probably be in port
several days. The Roamers, a New
York family who own the vessel, and
who visit the South every fall in her,
will spend few days rambling about
the city.
A Pensacola dispatch says that while
loading the British steamship Cayo
Largo with cotton for Bremen, one of
the workmen discovered secreted in
one of the bales seven large cannon
crackers and a lot of sulphur matches,
which the police think were placed
therein for the purpose of burning both
ship and cargo The ship was being
loaded with 10000 bales. The fireworks
were brought here on the steamship
Winifred on her late trip from New
York
The schooner Savannah mention of
which was made in yesterdays Morn
ing News, is principally owned by
President George Parsons of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway. This doubtless accounts
largely for naming the vessel for this
city Miss Parsons, daughter of the
owner, christened the Savannah.

John Price. ST., foreman of the Santa

evening"
This is the second of the many
changes that are rumored to take place
among the local shop foremen. This an
nouncement on the part of Mr.. Price
was made known late Wednesday after
noon. and was the signal for display of
some i'll feeling against the superiors OF
Mr.. Price. John B. Price. jr., son of
the foreman, as soon as he heard of his
fathers resignation, went to General
Foreman Hickey, and demanded his
time. The demand was acceded to, but
in some way the ire of the younger
Price was aroused and he told Foreman
Hickey some plain facts. One word fol-
lowed another until Price made threats
OF a personal attack upon Hickey, and
drew back as though to strike him. He
was prevented, however, by friends who
led him away

detriment to the men in the shops The
system is this: Checks upon which the

that he considered the plans of Mr.

Mr. Price came to Topeka shops ten
years ago and began work as a ma

given the position which he has occu-
