There is one publishing house In this city
which has a rule often bringing 1t into con-
fict with its authors. 1t insists that the
preface Of every book shall contain a summary
of the book, written in such way shae q puf'
chaser. by reading the preface, can tell at
glance Just what he is getting When an autnor
sends in a flovery preface full Of gittering gen
eralities and little else it is promptly returned.
with the request that the author write another
telling Just what he has put into the work Ihe
authors often rebel but the required preface IS
always forthcoming in the end

Fully Appreciated

Commodore w. s. Phillips, who with
DR.. Bradbury, placed a half dozen boxes
OF the finest peaches to be found in the
valley on board the train OF the Kentucky
editors, on their return from Salt Lake
City, received very handsome letter OF
acknowledgment from one OF the ladies
OF the party, residing at Earling,on. Ky.
The lacy in question was one who ac-
cepted Mr.. Phillips offer to drive to the
fruit orchards, despite the light rain
which was falling after the party had
been brought from the depot 20 the
hotel. A good joke in connection is
worth recording. The lazy In question
did not mind the slight rain at first, but
in driving up Main street the rain fell
brskly and she was insstent upon get
Phillips urged her to remain and said he
could not stop his flying team to let any
one out at that stage OF the game. He,
however. called to a passerby, whom he
knew, t. run into the Fair and buy him an
umbrella. This was done and the lady
was protected to the extent OF tho shelter
the umbrella afforded. Her letter to
Mr.. Phillips states she would not have
missed the drive for anything and that
it was one of the very pleasantest parts
OF her trip, and WAS very glad he would
not permit her to get out. She wrote in
most interesting manner OF the balance
of the trip from this city and was point
ed in saying that their reception at
Grand Junction was as much appreoi
ated as that given by any city along the
route.

THE KING LOOKING SAD.
EngIand's Ruler in Need of Rest
Extensive Alterations at
Buckingham.

New York, Aug. 2O-News has reach
ed here from Homburg that King Ed
ward looks sad and worn, and as il he
needed rest, says the London correspond
ent OF the Tribune.
Buckingham palace will be ready for
occupation by the king and queen next
Novsmter. 1t is scarcely, however, to
be expected that the work Of reconstruc-
tion and renovation which has been
entered upon will be entirely completed
before the end OF the year. In the mat
ter Of ordinary modern comforts. this
royal residence, which has been prsctic-
ally untouched for half a century, was
hopelessly out OF date, and so the reno
vation scheme is necessarily highly
elaborate and complex one.
More than 500 men are at present On.
gagged upon the work, and among other
Improvements will be the construction
of spacious corridor. occupying the
entire length of the east side OF the pal
ace. A number of old unused lum Der
rooms are being swept away for the pur-
pose. The private apartments OF the
king and queen are being completely re.
decorated, while electric lights will be
fitted throughout. Hitherto there has
been only partial installation
at the palace, as Queen Victoria did not
approve OF such modern Inventions, and
the rooms she occupied were illuminated
by gas. No alteration is to be made in
the magnificent grounds, which cover a
space OF 40 acres.

The church authorities, while intimaring

assured the representatives of the gov
eminent to this effect Both the legisla-

mined to permit the utmost freedom Of
worship, but Judge Taft, president of the
Philippine commission, said that it was
an undetermined question where the gov
eminent ought to draw the line in locali-
ties where the presence of the friars may
tend to cause unrest and disturbance.
The attempt of Buencamino and his con-
freres about Tondo to organize an evan

made on the information of priests of GER

ton. The question of the release u s:ms

WHERE HE FOUND SECLUSION.
Senator Davis Was Accustomed to
 Seek Rest on Staten Island.

The late Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, was one of the most in- dustrious of men, but frequently found
 that he was overtaxing his physical strength On such occasions he went to New York and stayed at a small ho- tel on Staten Island. This was habit known only to a very few of his per sonal friends. One of Senator Davis friends on Staten Island was a man who for many years had been a pilot and who now lives at this hotel The employees at the hotel were instructed to deny the presence of the senator should any inquiries be made there for him. A man who was very anxious to see Senator Davis in Washington learned a year ago that he had been seen going to Staten Island, and. he called up every hotel there on the tele- phone. From none of them could he get any information, though Senator Davis was at that time a guest at one of them. His selection of this hotel
 was due to the fact that he had ac- quaintances there and because it was about the last place in New York where anyone would search for him. One Of his friends stumbled on this retreat by chance hast summer. He met the senator and his friend, the pilot, just returning from a trip to Coney Island.

he has been conducting revival at a country church.
 Some of the people who attended the services became so enthused that their religion took on the form of in- sanity.
 In the course of one of the expe- rience meetings a man arose from the congregation and told of a vision which he claimed to have had with the Lord the night before, in which he was commanded to take his young est children and offer them as sac rifice to atone for the sins of his past life.
 While he was speaking his sister arose and shouted:
 Brother, obey the voice of the Lord.''
 The excitement was intense, and but for the presence of few cool heads some of those present would have done themselves personal yio- fence.
 The rash father who claimed to have had the vision is being watched by his neighbors to save his children from harm
