ALICE IN NEWELLAND.
THE METAMoRPHosIs OF LEWIS CAR
ROLLS HEROINE.

Lewis Lewis Carroll With an Introduction by E. S.
PIP. xvii, 1a3 Harper & Bros
One Of the drollest things about this new edi-
ton of classic of drollery is the introduction
which has been written for it by Mr.. Edward
S. Martin. That gentleman, whom have hth-
erto been inclined to credit with a sense of
humor, naIvely observes that lit must have been
destined from the beginning that Mr. Newell
should illustrate Alice "a prodigious assump-
tion, to say the least-and. pointing out that
only discrepancies of age have caused this
consummation to be postponed he goes on to
make the quite inimitabIe remark that even
the delay has been advantageous, for it has
given us the Tenniel pictures which are idanti
fed beyond fear of separation with Alice and her
famlllars. Whereupon the astonished and
amused reader murmurs. .Indeedr' However
Mr. Martins Notwithstanding the kind char
acterization OF Lewis Carroll as person of "ex-
cellent intelligence and his generous admission
that this man of genius brought to his work
some gift of versfcation," need not further
detain US Mr. Newelrs drawings provide food
enough for reflection. in all conscience
To say that they represent a labor of s1,perero
cation is to put it very mildly. Mr. Newell's genu
inc humor, his skill and his thoroughly ;ndi,,id
ualized style have been praised too freouentlv in
this journal for us to be charged with any preiu-
dice against him in this case. Elsewhere in these
pages to-day we have testified once more to the
excellence or MS art when lavished upon legiti-
mate themes. But in the first place there was
no occasion for him to illustrate ..AIice's Advent
ures in Wonderland' and secondly he has
shown in this volume how completely made
Quate he is TO the task. Lovers Of the immortal
book are not faithful to the illustra tions that
Tenniel provided for it simply because they have
been identified with It from the beginning and
SO have the charm of Oh association They
cherish them because they are absolutely ner
feet. fitting the text in the minutest particular
Mr.. Martin himself states that the author made
the best book he could; got the best pictures he
could for it, and worked with illustrator ana
publisher over every detail of its construction"
Yet Mr. Newell. who must know this has not
hesitated to intrude and to lay presumptuo,s
fingers upon a masterpiece Of singular unity as
regards both text and picture. He has not even
had the courage Of his own ideas, for on com.
pairing his thirty-four compositions with the
drawings in the original edition we find that
no fewer than twenty-one Of them are devoted

suit OF any perfunctory study, but the genuine
result Of faithful and loving intercourse with the
fiction of the last century. Occasionally Mr.

"'Her long life ended just before our century
had reached the fftieth year, and thirty years
before the serfs were freed" The Emperor

a letter few days ago from the Keat- ing Cycle company of Middletown, Conn, which puzzled him. 1t began, My dear Jerry,r and 1t continued in an easy, colloquial style. in which business was mingled with personal chitchat and humorous persi1age. The signature was formal enough: Yours truly, Frederick K. Betts, receiver The manager dropped the letter and pondered: Where on earth did meet Betts? Should I address his as My dear Betts' or My dear FredT He finally settled on the latter form and wrote note in the style of the one he had received. And did not Mir Betts open his eyes? And did he not open his lips, too. in asking how an entire stranger had dared to address him in such a free any easy fashion? For MT | Belts, who is an austerely dignified gentleman of the old school, had nev- CT met the man in New York. The mystery was soon cleared up. The let ter signed by MT Betts had been writ ! ten by a waggish clerk, who is a | friend of the manager of the sporting magazine, and MT Betts had signed it hastily along with a number of other letters.
 Lost in New York. That was the strange experience which we'll known Waterbury young lady suffered in the great metropolis of New York during the past week. Perhaps it is nothing wonderful or strange for q stranger to be lost in New York city but this young lady thought 1t was and will think so for a considerable length of time in ! the future. Next time she visits New York she will see that some escort &C., companies her who knows the streets | of New York and how to reach the city of Brooklyn from New York city. In the early part of this week the young lady in question left Waterbury to visit relatives in Brooklyn, N. Y. On arriv- l ing at the Grand Central station she asked a large, burly guardian of the l city where such street was. Now it l happened that there was such street in New York and such one in Brook l lyn. It was the latter she sought but she did not not inform the policeman this. The latter. accepting it as under stood that the street in New York was meant, directed her accordingly. On arriving at this street to where she had been directed, she could not, nat turaIly find the home of the relative. Ar ter wandering about for several hours or more, she was finally directed to the proper street in Brooklyn. In the meantime, her friends in Brooklyn were considerably worried thinking some accident might have befallen her. | A message was quickly dispatched to her home in this city. The receipt or the message caused great anxiety and
 worry to the parents of the lost maid en. But their hearts became gladden. ed and their faces wore signs of relief when another message came. number
 of hours later stating that the young lady had finally reached the proper destination in safety.
