THE STORY OF EMMA MARsHALLs UN-
SELFISH LIFE.

SELFISH LIFE.
EMMA MARSHALL. A Biographical Sketch. By
Beatrice Marshall. l2mo, pp 342. f. p. Dut-
ton g. Co
Mrs Marshall in her noble and gentle
character an admirable type of English woman
hood. Her books-there are two hundred Of
them-are mostly domestic stories full of the
wisest lessons OF love, patience and truth They
have no element Of greatness. but they are ami
mated by her own pure and unselfsh spirit and
by a Sunny humOr that was proof against a
multitude of trials. In their modest way they
have deserved popularity not only in
England. but in America, in Russia and in other
Continental countries. Canon Anger has said Of
her work that Few Of her time will have given
to the young such happiness and such
wholesome stimulus toward all that is lovely
and of good report'-and that is as just a liter
airy epitaph Emma Marshall the writer could
have wished.
AS for the woman herself. her brave and busy
life was finer lesson to her kind than anv set
forth in her stories. The wife OF a bank man.

family into poverty, the mother of many children.
she toed for years 10 support them all and tofled
with good will. a sweetness and pluck that
were amazing. Nothing daunted her and as book
after book came from her pen she turned with
light heart 10 the next-sometimes. indeed
having seFefai suorles on the stocks at once.
She was careful in her work, withal collecting
material for her semi historical tales with
praiseworthy conscientiousness. She was not a
literary artist. OF course. but she shared with
the greatest OF the guild delight in authorship
that never palied. Like Mrs Stowe she worked
IN the midst Of her household, constantly inter
rupted by all manner of domestic questions
trivial and otherwise, but writing easily on the
moment she was left in peace. IT would appea,
from the "reminiscences OF her flial biogra pher
that her publishers found more profit in he,
books than did their author: but, still workins
persistently she helped her husband pay off his

Soon forthcoming from the Macmillan Com
pany's establishment Is "A Treasury Of Irish
Poetry" edited by Stopford A Brooke and T. w.
Rolleston. Mr.. Brooke contributes an elaborate
study OF Irish poetry in the shape OF a preface,
IN which he dweIs at some length on the new
Celtic poetcal movement for which it is gratify-
ing TO see he does not make too sweeping claims.
He writes:
Art has only shown itself of late in the Irish
poetry OF this century Nor is there any attempt
on my part TO claim for the poems in this book
q lofty place in literature. The river of Irish
poetry in the English language is yet in Its
youth . . Let II be judged youth.

There has been a wide demand for Professor
Charles Nj. Andrewss large two volume work on

rope" and also expression of desire for the
same information in smaller compass. This will
be met by abridgment of the work that is
being made by Professor Andrews who Oc-
cupies the chair of history al Bryn Mawr.
The public demand for good books embodied
in a fine and dignfed setting of paper, type and
print, without ostentatious addition to the ex-
pense Of producing them, is stable one as is
shown by the experience of Houghton Miffiin &
Co. with their limited editions of the last year

Madrigals published April %. 300 copies; Will

Americas Man is Assaulted While in
Savannah and Struck in Face With
Brass Knucks By Strikers or Their
Friends.

Emory Mathis, son of Prof. j, E..
Mathis, superintendent of the Americus
public schools, was set upon by party
of dozen or twenty men at Savannah
day or two ago and would have been
roughly handled had he not escaped
from them.
AS it is his face bears tho marks of a
stunning blow inflicted bS a pair of
brass knucks in the hands of one of
the party of unknown assaIlants.
Mr.. Mathis did not know any of the
attacking party.
Young Mathis is an apprentice in the
Seaboard machine shops in Americas,
and when the strike was inaugurated
here SIX weeks ago he went out with
the others but returned at once. In
this he incurred the displeasure of the
other strikers here.
Quite recently Mathis was sent to
Savannah on business for the company,
and having finished this went down to
Tybee.
He recognized only one man, a for
mer employe here.
AS he started back to the hotel from
the beach crowd of dozen or twenty
men started towards him yelling
"scab." They closed in upon him as
he ran and one of them, it is said,
struck him a blow in the face with
brass knucks.
Rushing into the hotel, he concealed
himself until his assailants had gone
away.
From the suddenness of the attack
and the language used young Mathis
thinks his assailants were Savannah
strikers or their friends who resented
his continuing at work in the shops
here,
