LITERARY TOPICS.

Benjamin Franklin S autograph sold
at recent sale in Boston for forty
dollars.
After work comes rest, even for the
busiest man. So Mr.. Gilbert Parker
for month at Brighton rested from
the fatiguer of the late campaign.
Afterward he went to Egypt, whence
he returned only when summoned by
the opening of Parliament. Egypt
is to play an important part in Mr..
Parker's future. After the "Lane
that Had no Turning" recently con-
cluded in the Saturday Evening Post,
there is one more Canadian novel
which will appear next year. Mr..
Parker says that he has said what he
had to say on Canada, and that he
does not mean to continue writing
with his memories of the countries
gradually fading. For three winters
he has been studying Egypt and col
Letting materials, and there is an i'm
portant Egyptian novel nearly ready.
The combination of the Orient with
Mr.. Parker's romantic vigor and de-
LEGACY of expression ought to be ad-
mirable.
The success of "Alice of Old Vim
cennes' has prompted Maurice Thomp-
son to give to his many admirers, "The
King of Honey Island,'' dramatic
story of the war of 1879. which is one
of his earlier novels heretofore un-
published.
Napoleon and Josephine is a
revision of Ida M. Tarbell's "Napo-
leon, " whose sale numbers 100, 600
copies.
"a Daughter of the Fields is a
recent addition to the novels of
Katherine lyman. The Times Re-
view says of this story of country life
in Ireland: 'Meg O'Donoghue, the
Daughter of the Fields,'' with ro-
mantle traditions of noble ancestry in
her veins, with the culture and gentle
breeding of a French convent, faces
in the modern spirit the practical du-
ties of life, turns farmer and thus
becomes the central figure in rural
scenes admirable in their idyllic
charm as we'll as in their truthful
rendering of actual conditions. Few
can compete with Miss lyman in the
telling of romantic love story and
this of Meg O'Donoghue and Gervase
Fitzmaurice is one of her best.
To a student of literature, to writers
and to readers generally" WHO'S Who,
1901" and who's Who in America
are almost Invaluable. They contain
sketches of the lives and works Of all
living American and English writer's.
Both these books are now ON our Ii

new SUMNER BOOK.
To be Issued BY Lackawanna Des-
cribIne Towns Along Route.

The Lackawanna Railroad is about
to issue a Summer Book for the COM
ing season, in which each town along
the line will be attractively written
up, for the information of those desir-
ing summer homes, it has been decid-
ed to admit limited number of fad
vertisements of hotels and boarding
houses, and these will be placed inn
lnediately following the reading mat
ter relative to the town in which they
are located.
The demand for such advertisements
has been so great that the Company
has decided to modify the policy es-
tablished year ago, when its Summer
Book was issued without advertising
matter of any kind and permit brief
number to appear. 1t is believed
that the change will be a gratifying
one to those who are anxious to secure
some of the increasing summer pa
tronage along the line
The Local Ticket Agent has been
supplied with specimen pages from
this new book showing rates for ad-
vertising, and other details in connec-
ton with it. Copies of these may be
obtained upon application. Matter
for Insertion in the new book must be
sent either to the General Passenger
Agent or left with the Local Ticket
Agent on or before the goth day of
February.
The Local Ticket Agent will be glad
to answer any inquiries. 1884

Last Sunday night fifty sailors from the

local populace. Police in civilian clothes
interfered, siding with the inhabitants
and the fight became general. the Ger

wharf, where they boarded the German
steamer Valesia, moored at that place. IN
the meantime two petty officers OF the
Vipeta, who were sober and VINO were
waiting at the wharf to take the Nineta
boats, were attacked by the police. They
resisted and the police wounded them
badly with their swords. All the Ger
mans ashore were unarmed. The wound
ed petty officers were carried on boaro tne
ValeSia by members OF the ValeSla
crew, the populace and police still attack
ing them with stones and sticks. Inc
mob then tried to board the ValeS1a, but
were prevented from 50 doing by the cap

meantime the captain of the Valesia had
signaled to the Vineta, which was In the
harbor, the perilous condition OF the Ger.

thirty armed men to the Valesia, which
they boarded by the side opposite the
wharf not landing on Venezuelan SOIL.
The mob, eSt1IndCeQ 10 nunOeI 1-OO Pei

manner and fired a few shots. The com

COMPETING RAILROAD
PROPOSED IN ALASKA
Residents of Dawson Said to Be
Planning a Line to Salt
Water

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 10.-The
statement is published here that there are
now in preparation plans for railway
from Dawson to salt water on Lynn
Canal The promoters of the scheme are
said to be residents of Dawson.
Two routes are ulder consideration for
the road. which is designed to compete
with the White Pass and Yukon Railway.
The first would be to follow the banks
of the Yukon in the vicinity of White
Horse and then parallel the line of the
White Pass road to the mountain range
and reach salt water over the Chilkoot
Pass or the White Pass, the former to
Dyea and the latter to Skaguay. The al
tentative route would run along the Yu-
kon to Fort Sellxirk and from that point
strike off along the line of the Dalton
trail and eventually pass the coast range
through Chilkoot Pass and drop down
into the valley of the Chilkoot, still fol-
lowing the general trend of the Dalton
trail till salt water is reached at Pyramid
harbor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The War De-

port Of Major General Leonard Wood,
comma nding the Department of Cuba, for
the last fiscal year. General Wood says
the conduct of the American troops III

lies and individuals are extremely rare.

exchange has worked a hardship on the
soldier and has been detrimental to good
order and military discipline,
General Burton has some interesting
recommendations to submit, based upon
the experience of the American soldier in
Cuba. For instance, he says that the cav
airy pistol is too small in caliber; il has
no stopping power, though it carries
unnecessarily far. The general recon-
mendatiOn Of the service Is that the cali
Der be increased above As, rather than de-
creased, and that it be given a range of
IS or 100 yards for effective work. Except
for its shock action, the pistol is of little
service. The saber should be enameled
with bicycle enamel, as should all metal
parts of the equipment. to resist the rust,
which rapidly destroys steel and iron in
Cuba. The cavalry boot is Stunned by all
soldiers, and il is recommended that it
be abandoned. The khaki leggingS are
unsatisfactory; they hunch at the ankle,
are rot durable and must be laced too
tight. If Logging is to be worn at all,
il should be an English leather Logging.
The campaign hat has no proper place IN
the army in tropical climates. At any
rate il should be made of much better
material and lighter. Finally, Colonel
Burton recommends a complete revision
of the cavalry drill regulations which are
severely criticized.
