Literary Gossip.

Jeanette Glider, in Chicago Tribune.
Publishers take a different view of the
new writer, particularly if he be a novelist.
They hail him with joy, for he may turn
out a bonanza, as he so often does. You
take an author such as Kipling, for ex-
ample, who leaves Mr.. A. p. Watt to fight
his battles, and there cannot be much more
than glory in being his publisher. Strange
it is, but Kipling, who is one of the best
known writer's to-day, is not one of the
best sellers. There are half a dozen au-
thOrS whose books have a much larger sale.

Heinemann paid $3.50 O for English rights

best bargain he ever made. The publisher

Nuisance of Uncut Leaves.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t seems that a courageous New Eng

patrons would follow the example of this
lover of readable. convenient, finished

leaves and chewed-up edges would doubt
less be abolished.

STAR OF HOPE.


LONDON, Sept. 30.-To-day's papers are
unanimous in their praise of the splendid
handling of Columbia and Shamrock III
Saturday in what all describe as a magnih-
cent race. The outcome has greatly raised
the hopes of British yachtsmen generally.
The yachts are seen TO be so evenly
matched that the result cannot be predicted
with any confidence. but it is considered
hat the triangular course will prove more
favorable for the challenger and that there
fore Sir Thomas Upton still has a chance
to lift the cup"
The Daily Graphic points to the signih-
can't fact that at no period in the race was
the challenger leading by the amount of her
handicap, and il expresses the opinion that
unless Shamrock IL shows a sudden inn
provement i'm speed or gets a large slice of
luck she will hardly win the cup.
This latter opinion is the least hopeful
among those voiced by the morning press.

SURPRISE IN GLASGOW.
Opinions and Speculations of Yachts
men and Designers.

GLASGOW. Sept. 29.-Clyde yachtsmen
frankly admit that Columbia is a marvel
ously good yacht. They consider the fact
that a two-year-old yacht should have
hung so close to the counter of Shamrock
ii when running free makes the contest
even more difficult for the British. Yachts
men and designers alike declare that If
Shamrock II is to win the cup she ought to
have beaten Columbia by nearer than three
minutes on the turn to the windward.
SurprisS is expressed that the challenger
should not have saved the time
in the run before the wind, but IL is hoped
that in the triangular course her reaching
powers will gain for her the victory.
