any Republican in Alabama. This was the controlling motive for the selection. and any other view Is unjust and without foundation.
 The other point to which we decidedly object is the implied charge or insinua- ton that Judge Jones is expected and Is morally obligated to turn his back on his Party and transfer his allegiance to the Republican Party. Not only that, but that he is expected, as a return for his appointment, to lend his talents and his influence to the work of making proselytes to Republicanism. In short, 1t Is virtually charged that there is an inn piled obligation on the part of the new build up strong and respectable Repub- lican Party in Alabama.
 We happen to know that the President had no such thought. It is unnecessary for The Advertiser to deny the insinua- tion so far as Judge Jones is concerned The people of Alabama know him too we'll to require any such defense, but the charge is unjust to the President. The truth is that applications for Judge Bruce's place have been accommodating in the State Department at Washington for months. There was none, however, from Judge Jones. It has been known that the late incumbent was not only in precarious health, but that he would probably retire on account of age in few months. These
  and they had not been slow to take ad- vantage of them.
 These claims and counter-claims were part of the heritage left to MT. Roosevelt when he went into office. He found piles of them and soon saw enough to sicken him with the whole affair, with the re- suit that he declared that he would settle the matter at once by the appointment of the best man, though he might be a Democrat, and then it was that Judge Jones's superior fitness and qualifications were made known to the President and he settled the matter with his accustomed vigor by giving the appointment to the man best qualified.
 This is the plain story and any insinua- tions or implications otherwise are as un- just to the appointing power as they are to the appointee. There was no bargain, spoken or implied There was no political obligation, hinted or understood. The President wanted the best man for the position and got him, and the new Judge, while he will necessarily retire from pol tiles. will continue to hold the convic- tions of life time.

c. D. BRYANT LIBEL SUIT.
The libel suit Of McInerny & Co. vs..
the bark c. d. Bryant, was on trial all
day yesterday before Judge Estee. 1t
claimed that twenty-siX cases of mer-
chandise were delivered to defendant
at San Francisco in good order, that
the bark c. D. Bryant arrived here
with these goods valued at $1,10O, on
the 18th day of July, and that the
plaintiff has not received the consign-
ment, though the freight on it has
been paid. The goods were damaged
by water in extinguishing the fire on
the Bryant, July 7th, and were after
wards sold at auction. Defendants
claim that the fire was one of the
perils of the sea- for which they can
not be held responsible. The evidence
in the case is not all in and the trial
will be resumed this morning.
The libel of the Pearson & Potter
Co, Ltd, VS. the c. D. Bryant, is to
be heard directly following the Nc

and mot being a free man." He also
stated that Love did the cooking for
the family sometimes, but was not the
family cook. This closed the testimony
for the afternoon and the case was laid
over until today at 4:30 o'clock. Judge
Gear stated that he would not be-
live Love to be a spendthrift, and it
must first be proven that he was, by
defendant. If he needed a suai .ilan he
would be given one but not as q spend

TO CANCEL A LEASE.
Another case of much interest had
some Of the same features as the Love
suit This was the application of Will
liam H. Hall against G. Y. Nam, to
compel the cancellation of a lease on
some valuable properties in Olaa. Hall
is mere youth, and only recently
attained his majority. The defendant
he obtained a five years lease of the
property at a rental of $1,000 per year,
the point now being raised that the
land is worth three times that amount.
The suit to cancel the lease is brought
on the ground that the defendant eX-
ercised undue influence over the plain
tiff, in compelling him 20 sign the pa

BALLARAT.

Ballarat, which the Duke of York
has been visiting, was made by the
gold miner, and is still to a certain ex-
tent the miners city. Many of the
workings, both old and new, are of
great extent, and it is no uncommon
thing to see houses out of the perpen-
dicular, and going to rack and ruin
because the earth has given way be-
meath. No attempt is made to build
on many sites because the ground is
unsafe The ST. Paurs Anglican
Church has twice come to grief. Once
the whole body of the church went but
left the tower standing. The churcn
was built on the other side of the
tower and the chancel, to the astonish
ment of the congregation, dropped

and had to be abandoned because it
could not be enlarged, and was appro-
priately used as the School Of Mines.

with more literal truth. Many of the

known the roads were in danger of be-
ing swept away. The Inhabitants were
continually cleaning roads, and the
town council was compelled to pass a
bylaw forbidding the sweeping by any
one but authorized scavengers.-Lon-

will more than wipe out whatever as
sets there are on hand. The woman
has brooded over the matter for such
a long time that her mind is affected,
and she believes that the children are
entitled to $1,000, and that her attorney
has not been working for her interest,
when, in fact, he has been doing all he
could to clear up the matter. Mrs. Dol
linger broke in upon the court yester-
day during the trial of the Magoon
case, and before any one could pre-
vent her, was before the par making
a loud and violent demand for the
money belonging to the children whom
she said were starving for want of it.
She became hysterical, shrieking and
wringing her hands, all the time de-
handing her money, and that her at
torney be removed. She was finally
led away by a baiIiff, after Judge Gear
had told her she must wait until the
report of the guardian was made In
court. The attorney withdrew from
the case.
CLAIMS TO BE THE WIDOW OF
JAMES HUNT
An alleged widow of the late James
Hunt put in an appearance yesterday
as a claimant to his estate. She claims
to have been married to the deceased
in Honolulu fourteen years ago. though
letters from the mother ana sister of
the late fire chief state that to their
knowledge he had never been married.
1t is claimed that the marriage was
by common law process. The court ask
ed that the widow be produced in
lcourt, as she should be made admins
ira triX but it was stated by her atror-
ney that she did not want the appoint
ment, and George Ashley, one of the
creditors of the estate, was chosen. The
property is valued at about five thou
sand dollars.

This history comes very apropos, for
the st. LOUIS Exposition is upon us.
OF the Buffalo Exposition we needed
to know little. We were expected to
know what Pan meant when hitched
on to another adjective. We were ex-
pected to appreciate the commercial
Importance of the city of Buffalo; to
know the names of the Great Lakes,
and something about Niagara Falls.
But the Mississippi Valley, its devel-
opment, it's Importance, its resources,
are to be celebrated in an exposition
at ST. Louis, and there is much to
learn about American history.
AS the natural rival of Chicago, st.
Louis will make extravagant attempts
to furnish a SURPRISING exposition.
This exposition celebrates the centen-
airy of the Louisiana Purchase, now
close at hand.
Then again if the application of Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory for au-
mission as a single state at the next
session of Congress be granted, the last
unorganized fragment of the area Of
the Mississippi Valley will be moor
porated.
One can hardly realize the difficulties
that beset the writer of this history.
There is a vast amount Of material at
hand from the relations Of the early
settlers with the Indians to the pres
ent day, especially, as, since the Civil
War. this has been a region OF great
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

The life of a nation is often traced
through it's literature. For this rea-
son, if for no other, the writings per-
tanning to a formative era should be
preserved with Jealous care. In our
own nation the period from the early
settlements to the Revolution is one
rich in literary material which hitherto
has been suffered to lie neglected or
in widely scattered places. The pres
ent effort to collect representative writ
ings is, therefore, one worthy of COM
mendation, since it may be regarded,
not as a mere compilation, but as a
contribution to the history of American
nationality.
And the papers are valuable on their
own accounts also. Our colonial writ
ers bear comparison with those of any
other race under similar conditions.
The world still listens to men like Cot
ton Mather, Roger Williams, Jonathan
Edwards, John Smith, John Winthrop,
William Bradford and Benjamin
Franklin. These are but a few Of the
authors whose works will prove sur
prisingly interesting to the reader who
meets them here for the first time. In
the earlier period men lived earnestly,
If not largely; they thought highly, If
not broadly; they felt nobly, if not al
ways with magnaninity. Resourceful-
ness, self-reliance and individuality
were virtues fashioned by primitive cir
cumstance and inwrought with their
literature and history alike.
That the present survey might be
full, yet not prolix, the selections have
often been shortened by the omission
Of passages that would weary the mod
ern reader; but such omissions have al
ways been indicated, and care has been
taken that they should not affect the
sense of what remains The text has
been modernized in its spelling. Brief
introductions serve to place each au-
thor in his true environment, so that it
shall be clear for whom and for what
he speaks; while the essays at the be-
ginning of the several volumes en-
deavor to gather up the scattered ele-
ments for each period and to draw
from them their lessons of national
evolution.

MAMMA, A STORY OF
DANISH LOVE.
Translated from the Danish
by Holger Drachmann.
"a. C. McClurg & Coz

This is the latest addition to the pop
ular Tales From Foreign Lands" Sc
ries, and its literary value is of the
same high standard as the preceding
volumes. The Danish original was
called Paul and Virginia of a North
ern Zone" and it bears suggestion
of resemblance to the French classic.
There Is, however, a strength in this
new Paul and Virginia that is lack
ing in the other-a stimulating atmos-
phere from the invigorating salt winds
that seem to pervade the book.
The story is of a fishing town, on
a bay on the shore of the cold North
ern sea, whose inhabitants are grimly
silent seafarers and simple villagers.
Mama is the daughter of Captain
Spang, and Tonnes has risen to be
first mate on the captains ship. But
during this time he has been falling
in love with Mamma; and she, being
young and capricious, has made his
wooing difficult Captain Spang is
lost at sea, and Mamma holds Tonnes
responsible and sends him away. A
wonderful description of storm closes
the book, and tells how Mama final
ly relents when she has chance to
save Tonnes's life, bringing the beau
tiful love-idyll to a happy termination.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE FALL OF THE CUR
TAIN.
By Harold Begbie.
Bowen Merrill Company

This is a story of English high life
that has the merit of originality and
II compels attention and interest. 1t is
remarkable. The character of the nero
inc is the novel element of the story.
1t is not uncommon to~have bad Wo-
men in the story. The worst villains
are female characters in many DOCKS
but here Is a story where the woman is
bad at heart and deliberately and ma
liciously plots, and yet without much
of any hypocrisy maintains her char-
acter as a good woman throughout.
Her heart is black with murderous IN
tentions, yet her victim escapes ana
the book ends happily for her. rms Is
contrary to the traditions of story tell
ing in many respects.
Hannah Mersey Is the leading figure
in the book She is governess and
is engaged to a young chemist. she
leaves the family where she has oeen
teaching his younger brothers and sis
tiers. to enter the family of an English
earl to take charge of the education or
an only child. The earl proves to be
an old and very eccentric person. be
is vulgar in appearance and thought,
while his countess Is an exceedingly
handsome and brilliant woman, fond or
card playing and smart company. The
earl falls In love with the governess
in spite of his age and his previous
hard luck in matrimonial experiences.
The countess is divorced with the de-
liberate connivance and assistance or
Hannah, who becomes the earl's wife.
In time a son is born to her and 1t is
to make this son the heir of the earl
that she deliberately administers pois-
on to the child she formerly had charge
of. It turns out, however, that the
housekeeper in early life was a vic
tim of the earl and still cherishes the
idea that she can force him to marry
her The housekeeper's son conspires
against both wives of the earl, and
Hannah, in her turn, is compromised
by his presence in her room.
The heir, Lord Kyn, though still a
small boy, condemned to a life of suf-
fering and perhaps imbecility, is loyal
to Hannah and discovers the plot and
restores her to freedom through Sc
cret prison with the assistance of Lord
Delverton, who figures throughout the
story as the one ideal man.
The earl falls into a helpless condi-
ton mentally and physically and in the
excitement and owing to misunder-
standing, Hannah and Lord Delverton
mutually confess love for one another.
At the end of the book we are rea-
sonably sure that when the old earl
dies, the young widow will marry Lord
Delverton.
Bad as she has been in intention, the
reader is rather glad that she has set
tied down in a decent manner. In
spite Of her wicked intentions she
seems frank and honorable when she
discovers the result of her evil plot
ting The book is a good sample Of
vigorous English, and 1t must re-
luctantly be admitted that 1t is novel
of more than ordinary merit. We say
reluctantly, on account of the choice
of hackneyed characters among the
English aristocracy.

CRUMBS OF COMFORT.
BY Emma P. d. Bemis.
press of Gilbert G. Davis) 1

This is a little book of poems by a
Worcester author. Mrs Bemis has been
resident of this city for about 80
years and is a well-known member of
the Pleasant Street Baptist Church.
She has published none of them pre-
viously She is the wife of Charles e.
Benis, 16 Eliot Street. Mr.. Bemis is
carpenter and builder. Mr.. George
Putnam, of Sanford, Putnam & Co., Is
her nephew.
These poems have been composed
from time to time during years past,
the author having been an invalid and
confined to her home most of the time.
The poems are intensely religious in
tone. The choice of words is good and
the thought shows an intense religious
inspiration. The titles of the verses in
dictate the character of the work. Some
of them are 1.-The Love that Passeth
Knowledge" Parting and Meeting"
Helping the Needy" my Saviour's
Face" Looking Within" go For
ward in Strength" Upward" RE
member Thy Creator in the Days of
Thy Youth" Confidence in Gods
Grace" THE Christian Life" Com
fort the Bereaved," profit by Exper-
fence" "A Lock of Gray Hair" "Heav-
emily Reunions" Seeking the Spirit"
Passing Away"
These are a few of the titles. They
have the spirit of the hymn book.
They are retrospective, meoitative,
worshipful. They are not the product
of new modern religious thought They
are beautifully old-fashiOned and re-
fleet the spirit of New England piety
in its purest form.
