12mo. cloth, ornamental, illustrated,

Wells was never better evidenced in
her work than in her latest juvenile
venture. Folly in Fairyland." j" If a
little girl or boy who loves fairies land
what child doesn't) wants to go to
Fairyland, and find out how they live
there, what their houses are like, and
What they do to amuse themselves,
Just read this book and be transported
into the very heart of Fairyland it
self. Folly (whose full name was Flor
inda) went there, and her adventures
are graphically told. Unlike Alice
in Wonderland, she didn't meet queer,
unusual creatures, but she visited dear
old Aladdin, Cinderella, and the Queen
of Hearts in their palaces, and piloted
by Puss in Boots, travelled over the
whole realm and became we'll ac-
quainted with the heroes and heroines
of Fairyland in their own homes. Then,
of course, she called on the Three
Bears in their woodland home, and also
interview the Old Woman Who Lived
in Shoe. And you'd never guess, if
you weren't told, that a beautiful prin-
cess who was called Scary for short
was really Scheherazade, and she told
some of her own marvellous stories fol-
Folly's benefit.
''The Night Side of Nature, OIL
Ghosts and Ghostseers," by Catherine
Grove. Henry T. Coates & Co, pub.
fishers. Philadelphia, Pa, cloth $3.50
This is one of the earliest published OF
the many reputable books on puzzling
psychic phenomena, such as dreams
trance, presentiments, clairvoyance
haunted houses, troubled spirits ap-
partitions, etc. The author was a wo-
man of education and character, by
profession a novelist and by nature i'm
aginative but not superstitious In
1.-THE Night-Side of Nature" she col
lected many stories of incidents that
were inexplicable except by the then
common belief in ghostly influence and
the not uncommon fear of witchcraft
These stories she endeavored to clear
of their mystery, but she had little as
sistance, for in her time there were no
psychical research societies, such as
now exist, to investigate such phenom-
ena under the light of modern science,
so her book is suggestive rather than
conclusive, nevertheless, it will to-day
interest hundred times as many peo-
pie as read it when it first appeared

arly Introduction to the new edition.

SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

SINNERS of Curbing stone to Make
further Efforts to Get Lower

Harks nt Tybee for Orders-To
Load Either at Savannah, Wilm-
ington or Brunswick.
II is understood another effort will
he made shortly to secure acceptable
rates on Georgia curbing stone from
savannah by the water route to the
East. The Northwest Steamship Com
many will be seen, and if satisfactory
rates can be obtained stone will move
through Savannah in large quantities,
AS there is an inexhaustible supply and
plovided it can be laid down there at
r. ght prices. The quarries there are
giving out. and builders and others are
forced to look about for supplies. This
+, what gave rise to the talk of haul.
ing it by the water route from here.
The barks Jupiter and the Hecla ar
rived at Tybee yesterday for orders.
Both vessels are to the Paterson
Downing Company, but it is not known
yet whether they will load here, at
Wilmington or Brunswick. Capt. Jen-
sen Of the Jupiter did not come ashore.
capt. Jorgensen of the Hecla came to
the city.
Almost every year for the past fif-
teen. since steel ships became a factor
in the commerce of the great lakes.
the cry has gone up: We are building
100 many vessels. A day of reckoning
IS coming, and woe be to the vessel
owner. The alarm sounded, when Mr..
Rockefeller took a hand in the busi-
ness a few years ago, had hardly sub
sided before a great steel corporation
acquired 1l2 of the choicest freighters,
and then 1t was said in louder ton es
than ever that the days of the social
ed individual vessel owners were GER
tainly numbered, but they are here
yet. owning probably half of the lake
fleet, with a business outlook, if we go
no further into the future than is rea-
sonable, as good as it ever has been. >
says the Marine Review. Despite an
increase of 5,500,000 tons capacitv in
the lake fleet within the past two
years, and about 5000 900 tons more to
be turned out from the shipyards be-
fore July next. it would not be surpris-
ing to find steel manufacturers ready
tc make freight contracts for 1902 be-
fore the present season is altogether at
an end. Inability of the railroads to
take freight from the ships fast enough
to keep them continually employed has
no doubt had much to do with the high
rates during the present season, but af-
ter all it would seem that while sur
plus ship capacity is so much talked of
not enough consideration is given to
enormous increase in freight moved
over the lake region-not in one year
compared with another, but for a pc
riod of years.

Rich in illustration and with a. va
ried collection of articles, short stories
and poems, the Christmas number of
Ainslee's Magazine is especially inter-
esting. The leading article, entitled
America in England by Allen Sam
gree, is dramatic study of the tri-
umph of American business methods
in British enterprises. Senator AL
drich, the Most Influential Man in Con-
gress," by L. A. Coolidge, is a very
readable study of the personality of
the leader of the Senate and also
clear analysis of the wonderful con-
gressional machine at Washington. "In
Remote Newfoundland" by Norman
Duncan, is the kind of special article
that has all the value of news and all
the impressiveness of a wrought
work of fiction. The foregoing are only
a few of the articles of the number.

The Christmas number of Scribner's
Magazine is especially notable for
charming fiction and novel and effec-
tive art features. The fashioned
Christmas story does not prevail. but
in it's place has come the story of
bright and cheerful social phases, deli
cate sentiment, wit and humor. In this
number appear such authors as Thom-
as Nelson Page, F. Hopknson Smith,
William Henry Bishop ard Arthur
Cosslett Smith. Artistically this Christ
mas number contains many effective
features. Maxfield Parrish, who has
a place of his own among artists as
designer IN color, furnishes the beauti-
full Christmas cover and in addition
the frontispiece (printed in color and
other Illustrations in black and white

sented by the leading American artists,

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
VISITORS IN BUFFALO.

Hundreds of Hotels, Boarding and
Rooming Houses, Besides Many Pri-
vate Homes, on the List.
So much has been said and written
about the ability of the city Of Buffalo
to care for the crowds which will at
tend the Pan-American Exposition this
summer that few facts and figures
will be appreciated by the general pub
lie.
In the first place, there are listed
more than 200 hotels, which will give
accommodation to 10000 people; there
are $50 boarding and rOoming houses,
affOrding accommodation for 1850.
while 1000 owners of houses most OF
| whom never before hung out their
latchstring for a consideration, have
signified their intention Of opening
their houses for the accommodation OF
visitors to Buffalo this summer. These
1000 homes will accommodate ut least
100 600 visitors.
The Exposition Company has arrang-
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for $50 uni
formed men. There are also two COM
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 1,5OO or so.
In addition to all this, there are
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remOdeled and con-
verted into hotels, the plans of which
are not far enough along to afford an
accurate description or to estimate ac-
commodation at the present time. 1t is
safe to estimate the present capacity
of the city of Buffalo to accommodate
15O 900 strangers. To this may be add
ed accommodations for at least $4,000
in the surrounding towns snch as Ton
AMANDA, La Sale, Niagara Falls. Lock
port, Williamsville, Gardenville. De
pew and Lancaster, all within short
trolley ride of the city.
Rates in hotels range from 81 per
day upward. AS ridiculous stories have
been circulated in regard to exorbitant
hotel rates. 1t is well to note the rates
that have been established at the Iro-
quois. the most expensive hotel in the
city. These are, for one In a room
without bath, So and upward; for two
in room without bath, $5 and upward,
thus making the minimum rate $3.50
per Individual. The rate for n room
with bath for one person Is So or for
two in room S7.5O. This is on the Eu-
ropean plan. OF course there are rooms
and suites of rooms in this hotel for
much higher rates for those who wish
to pay them. but the prices here given
are the. highest in the city for hotel
accommodations as the term is ordina-
rily understood.
A number of local reliable agencies
are engaged in locating visitors in
homes in the city. These can be relied
upon as being honest, straightforward
and efficient. They are composed Of
business men of integrity, who will
carefully protect strangers in the city,
and visitors may feel assured Of cour-
teous treatment and safe conduct to ac-
commodations which have received
careful Inspection.
