In the October number of The Era
Joseph Dana Miller writes of popular
works that have been forgotten. He
says:
But the most remarkably circulated
work in American literary history is
Ida May by Mrs. Mary H. Pike, of
which60, 900 copies were sold in eighteen
months. AS this was in 1854, it is doubt
full, when we reflect that our population
was much less than half what it is to-
day, if the record of any subsequent
book very much surpasses it. "Ida
May was the forerunner of Uncle
Toms Cabin"
Mrs. Stowe began the publication of
''Uncle Toms Cabin" in the New Era
of Washington, D. c., in 1850, and in
1852 it appeared in book form. '.Ida
May was published two years later,
and its large sale was due less to liter
airy merit that to the fact that it follow
ed the line suggested by Mrs. Stowe and
appealed to the growing anti-slavery
sentiment. A subsequent novel by
Mrs. Pike, who was native of Calais
land the wife Of Hon. Fred A. Pike, was

PATHETIC LETTER FROM

unfeeling Rumors.

Since the opening OF the case of the
government against Tom Phillips
many rumors have been set afioat.
One is to the effect that his relatives
have abandoned him. This is abso-
iutely false. The mother of Phillips
was not apprised of her sons trouble

mills, plans were laid for great enlarge

ting mill cotton factory will be oper-
ated. by the same company on the
same site.
Also the mill company will build on
the factory land twenty houses and
will open the street back of the mills,
which will be quito an improvement
The work will commence within the
