ON THE GREAT HIGHWAY.

James Creelman Is one OF the newspaper
correspondents who may be called world
trotters." They are not many, but TO them
the world Is a great highway. They are
constantly watching for some unexpected
outbreak and are there awaiting the event.
II II does not materialize. they devote them
selves 10 some other topic which they clothe
with interest and romance. One day Creel-
man interviews Plus TX In the Vatican

(Creelman) is the only correspondent who
ever did have audience with the Pope. and

Is on the battlefield where China and ia

OF the fantastic ruler CT Corea and, again,

Querors who ride at night through the
burning villages of Manchuria. The reader

massacre of Port Arthur. so wildly is it
portrayed. After this chapter Of horrors,
he goes TO the home Of Count Tolstoi and
with his eyes one sees more and learns
more OF this peculiar genius than can be
obtained IN volumes. Now he comes back to
Cuba and glOrihes yellow journalism in It's
efforts TO attract attention.; now he jumps

Of these twenty papers is entitled "Mchln-
ley, the Forgiving." No more graphic and
touching report Of the last days or the late
President or a more appreciative tribute to
his fine character has been published, but
It cannot blot out of remembrance the fact
that for four years there was no n
too cruel, no epithet too odious, no cartoon
too hideous. to apply to this same Presi-
dent who died so nobly. Mr.. Creelman's de-
Tense of yellow journalism disfgures his
book; indeed. Mr.. Creelman's brilliant abilt-
ties would be more appreciated had he not
cast his lot with the sensational and
vicious newspaper which he applauds. The
book contains several Illustrations. The
publishers, the Lothrop Publishing Com

volume OF Mr.. Creelman's sketches.

ARTISTS AND ORATORS.

Two companion volumes published by
Dana Estes & Co, Boston, treat in an in
teresting way OF the masters of art and Of
oratory. They are entitled, respectively,
Among the Great Masters Of Painting
and Among the Great Masters Of Ora
tory" and both are compiled on the same
general plan, by Walter Rowlands. The
plan embraces in one volume brief bio
graphical and critical notices Of celebrated
painters, with reproductions of famous
paintings and of scenes in their lives, while
the other volume contains sketches of
noted orators with brief extracts from
celebrated speeches and facsimile repro
auctions Of famous paintings representing
scenes or events in their lives. A chief
merit of both volumes is the discrimination
with which the selection of representative
painters and orators has been made and
the distinct idea conveyed in comparatively
brief space of the several individuals, the
times and scenes in which they lived and
their works. In this way are treated no
less than thirty-two Of the great masters
Of painting and the same number of great
orators. The list Of the first begins with
ancient Phidias, and embraces such paint
ers as Fra Angelica, Leonardo Da Vinci,
Raphael, Durer, Correggio, Michael Angelo,
Titan, Tintoretto, Rubens, Guido, Rem
brandt, and so on dow to the time Of Ho-
garth and Reynolds. The list of orators be-
gins with Demosthenes and Cicero and ends
with Beaconsfield and Gladstone, including.
among Americans, Patrick Henry, Clay,
Webster and Lincoln. The illustrations in
both volumes include reproductions OF
many rare paintings by masters illustra-
tive Of historical scenes in the lives OF the
great painters and orators, each one OF
which is described and analysed and its
beauties and merits pointed out in such a
way as to make the reader as well ac-
quainted with it as If he had carefully
studied the original. The text Of both vol
umes shows intimate acquaintance with the
literature of both art and oratory, and the
author has embellished the subject from
his own store of knowledge. The conception
OF the work is unique and 1t is admirably
carried out. The two volumes are pub
lished in uniform style and are beautiful
specimens of ~bookmaking.

THE CENTURY BOOK FOR MOTHERS.

A subtitle of this book designates it as
"a Practical Guide in the Rearing Of
Healthy Children" and it's contents bear
out the statement. Its authors are DR.. Lee
roy NJ. Hale, formerly lecturer on the dis
eases of children at Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, New York, and Gustav
Pollok. editor of -~"Babyhood." In the prep
aration Of the work the authors seem to
lave kept in mind two points-irst. what
an intelligent mother ought to know, and,
second, what she would wish to know re-
garding the care of her child. AS to the
first they have proceeded on the plan that
she should know the things which go to
the establishing and preserving Of health
full conditions and which tend to the recog-
milton and avoidance of disease, rather than
its cure. AS to the second point. they nave
answered a multitude of questions actually
put to them by mothers, as editors for
many years Of q magazine devoted to the
care Of children. The result is a volume of
450 pages treating of ali the common all
ments and troubles Of early childhood, and
embracing hygienic directions in regard 10
dress and clothing, exercise, food and feed
ing, the administration of medicine, etc.
The second part of the book Is made up Of
answers to questions actually put by moth
ers in search of information on special
topics. Only one question is given on any
one SUBJECT, and the answer is made plain
and clear. These questions and answers
are divided into chapters on minor ailments
and troubles, defects and b~lemishes, COM
mon diseases, harmful habits, hygiene and
sanitation, questions OF dress, feeding prob
lens, etc. The book is full Of practical in
formation and valuable suggestions for
mothers. 1t is published by the Century

Much victuals serves for gluttony
To fatten men like swine;
But he's a frugal man indeed
That with a leaf can dine,
And needs no napkin for his hands
His fingers ends to wipe.
But keeps his kitchen in a box.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 20. 1901.

To the student Of good govern
ment and the lover of law and
order the present conditions OF
affairs in Hopkins county are OF
much interest. During the past
eighteen months some 300 men,
out of the 2,200 employees in the
mines of the comfy ceased work,
because of having joined the U.
M. w. of A. The places of these
men were quickly taken by 9TH
ers who were glad to work at the
wages and under the conditions
rejected. The men who joined
this organization have been more
or less supported by this order
since they quit work. Every eff
fort has been made by the organ
izers of the order to induce all
the men remaining at work to
join the organization, but with
out avail. Threats of all kinds
and abuse most vicious have been
the portions of the working
miners of the county, because
they would not join the order.
The miners have produced coal
daily and to full capacity. The
leaders of the organization hav-
ing failed to take what they call
peaceful persuasion of the mines,
now propose to take possession
of the coal properties of the
county by force, and have as
sembled, not only many of the
300 members who live in the
county, but have brought in men
from other counties, armed with
guns and rifles, to stop work from
all mines. Reliable information
tells of 81, 900 being raised by To-
cal lodges, and of Ben Kissinger
being sent after guns and ammu-
milton.
For three days large bodies of
armed men have been assembled
at Nortonville, "waiting for or
ders from their leaders. These
men have pickets on the public
road and stop and examine citi-
zens whose business takes them
by Nortonville. On the Goth of
this month, a city marshal and
his posse was attacked at St.
Charles when attempting to ar
rest law-breakers. 1t seems the
members of this order of U. Nj.
W..not only propose to take pos
session of property by force of
arms, but that they are not to
submit to arrest. How long will
the law-abiding citizens of Hop
kins county submit to such con-
dition?
