A New stor,-TcIIer.

There is little book called The Road
TO Nowhere" which the Harpers pub
Ilshed last Christmas, and which was no
ticeable for particularly attractive pic
lures in red and black. The Saturday
Times Review gave this story book a
place among the several best juvenile
publications for 1890. Its judgment has
been well vindicated. as the book has
already pleased thousands OF little folks,
and bids fair. judging by the interest it
eXcitcs to please thousands more. The
author is Mr.. Livingston B. Morse, who
is a grandson OF the Morse o. telegraph
fame, ana the charming pictures in the
book were done by his sister, Miss Edna
Morse.

When Mr.. Basil King finished his new
novel Let Not Man Put Asunder. there
was some difficulty over the title. Mr..
King first called It Whom God Hath
Joined" but II was discovered that this
title had already been used The present
name OF the book naturally suggested
itself, and has proven most successful
one. During the late maycraity election
contest In New York the book was eA-
teneiyely advertised in all the cars by
red posters. on which was printed only
the striking title OF the novel. The fol-

Washington life during the closing years

Students of art Will be interested in Ed
ward c. STRUTS Fra Filippo Lippi,
which is published this week by the Mac
milan Company. The author spent many
years in Italy. where ne enjoyed SPECIAL
advantages for the study Of the life and
works OF the monk Of the Carmine. He
was enabled to search the Papal archives
for detail respecting the painters life
as a monk, and regarding the unfortunate
attachment which he formed for LucTe-
zia Butt. The cover design is by Chris
topher Dean. who introduces several Of
the artists own devices. as used in some
OF his notable paintings In selecting
Fra Fillppo Lippi as the subject Of this
study writes the author. Il confess that
was attracted almost as much by the
human interest attaching to the theme as
ly its undeniable artistic importance,
hitherto overlooked, for some incompre-
hensible reason. by most writer's on art.
That Fra Filippo's merits should have re-
ceived such slight recognition and so slen
der a tribute OF study and praise is all
the more remarkable in an age when fol-
lowers of the modern. school Of criticism
are digging for obscure painters. in their
all-devouring thirst for notoriety, as ar
dently as the parched Arab digs for water

STRIKE Is or.
Troubles Adjusted and End In Mutual
COMPROMISE,

Pittsburg, Pa, April 20.-There
will be no strike in the plants of
the American Sheet Steel com
pany. The trouble that broke out
in the Devices Wood plant in Me
Keesport last week and which for
a time threatened TO cause a gen
eral strike of all union iron and
steel workers in the country has
been settled in an amicable man
ner. The members of the general
executive board of the Amalgamat-
sl Association of Steel and Iron
workers held a long session today.
1t started out with general feeling
that strike would come. as the
workers would not concede to the
only point in dispute (re.instate-
ment of the men discharged, it is
claimed, for joining tie union, }
aud so far as could be learned the
officials of the American Sheet
Steel company were equally deter
mined.
During the morning session Of
the executive board John Jarrett,
acting for the American Sheet
Steel company, appeared with a
proposition for the members to
consider, regarding settlement of
the difficulties. In general, this
proposition was that all men dis
charged from the Wood plant
should be reinstated, including
Holloway, and that all but Hollo.
way should return to work at once,
Holloway to return within ten
days.
The board insisted that Holloway
should be treated in the same man
ner as the others, and finally Mr..
Jarrett changed his proposition to
include Holloway after three days
