young capitalist, disciple of Fourier
who attempts to bring out OF the incon-
cetvabiy degraded and brutal conditions
OF the place in which he finds himself
something like order and peace. by the
establishment of an industrial community.
In this he is aided by the heroine, Josine
poor little waif of a woman, brutally
treated by a workman with whom she
is living at the outset of the experiment.
Her Character Is one of the happiest in
the artistic sense of the word, ever drawn
by NJ. Zoia. She is exquisitely feminine
and refined despite her rough surround
ings, and her gentleness, affection. and
loyalty are enough to make the book
worth reading if there were nothing else
in it. But it is a book with a purpose,
and the purpose is the discussion of the
labor problem in France. There is consid-
cradle socialism in ii, and the denoue-
ment somehow seems somewhat fiat: per-
hapsi because it is rather paradisacal,
and reformers do not usually get their
paradise in this world. New York: Har-

THE Beleaguered Forest" by Ella w.
Peattie is novel whose scene is laid
in the forest of a northwestern State,
in a lonesome lumber camp The hero
is the owner of the camp. and a victim
of the opium habit; the heroine is a wild
and picturesque personality with a favor
about distinct as that of olives. She
has yellow hair, which is quite cOnven-
tional, and yellow eyes, which are any
thing but that; she is given to dancing
serpentine dances around camp fires and
apostrophizing trees and hugging them;
she makes marriage of convenience and
supports the consequences with admira-
BILE philosophy. 1t is weird tale.
The thing that saves it from utter nov
city is the inevitable appearance of the
Other Man. OF course he comes upon the
scene in due time, and is at hand to take
charge of the heroine when her husband
is conveniently taken out of the way.
There are some Municipalities among the
lumbermen. skillfully sketched in, and the
rest is moonshine and spooks and moods
and the primeval forest 1t is not very
much more cheerful for the reader than
for the heroine. and while yellow eyes
may discern some comforting things in
an atmosphere of this kind. which will pre-
vent the owner from going crazy or elop-
ing with the Other Man. the average read
er has eyes of another color, and does
not admire the orbs of the heroine as
much as she herself apparently does. One
is never allowed to forget those eyes for
minute-the young lady herself tells
the story-and when the centre of the
stage is not taken by a wood-nymph roll
Ing over and over in the pine needles,
it is occupied by a Maenad in a green
gown with a train, whirling in the dance
under the light of the moon. In short,
this heroine may be interesting as a ZOO
logical specimen, but not as a person to
live with. New York: D. Appleton &
Co. $1.50)

The UnsuccessfuI.

We met them on the common way;
They passed and gave no sign
The heroes that had lost the day,
The failure, half divine.
Ranged in a quiet place we see
Their mighty ranks contain
Figures too great for victory,
Hearts too unspoiled for gain.
Here arc earth's splendid failures. come
From glorious foughten fields;
Some bear the wounds OF combat, some
Are prone upon their shields.
To us. that still do battle here,
II we in aught prevail.
Grant God. a triumph not too dear
Or strength, like theirs. to fail.

How should he know, who hath not won
Sure victories from sun 10 sun
How can he know. who hath not tried
The peril OF the mountain-side.
What strength Of arm is his-what zeal
In combat with the brave TO deal2
What proves and what skill he hath
To find his footing on the path
To cling. and cling. and always keep
His hold OF faith along the steep?
Who tries is also tried. Who dares
To scale the heights, their danger shares.
But on the cliffs uneven face
He finds each day higher place.
His strength expands; he thrills TO know
How broad the breathing places grow:
And every hour some gain is found.
Some view nom wider vantage ground.

o hearth be patient yet while
Until tomorrow.
Push back the curtains of the night,
That hide from thy responding sight
TIE stars which look with friendly light
From out the blackness of thy grief

Lift silent lips and trusting eyes
And hands of faith to darkened skies;
Somewhere-some time-the sun will rise;
Be patient till the morning breaks

support of this position he quotes Gen
Andrew a. Humphreys as naying:
After careful examination OF the
subject, am led to the conclusion that
Meade at Gettysburg had more diff
cult task than Wellington at waterloo.
and performed II equally well, al
though he had no Butcher to turn the
scale in his favor Wellington, for his
services In Portugal and Spain, had
been raised through every grade OF the
British peerage to its highest rank.
and Parliament had voted him large
sums of money to enable him to i've
in a manner corresponding to his posi-
ton. In Waterloo, there was no ad-
ditionai rank in the peerage to give
him. but Parliament voted two hum
bred thousand pounds sterling-about
million dollars. The whole sum thus
bestowed amounted to nearly four
million dollars. Meade, who was
major in the Corps of Engineers. was
promoted to the rank of brigadier gen.
eral in the Regular Army, and was
gratified at this mark of approval
Again, the author says:
Referring to the unjust and inexact
distributions of public praise for those
who serve the United States of Amer
lea, General Hunt said: God Almighty
abhors unequal weights and balances,
but the American people seem to love
pugnment of the intelligence of that
people to assume that they Will per-
manently cease TO measure such ex-
traordinary services as General Meade
rendered in their behalf at anything
less than their true value Then, to
borrow the words used by Boxer in the
conclusion of his charming address at
the unwilling of the Meade equestrian
statue in Philadelphia:
Let us withdraw, men hereafter
will withdraw with the muse of his
tory, from the lands over which we
have toiled so perplexedly, and from
the distance view the contour of the
country out of which the details have
vanished and of which the prominent
characteristics alone remain. Then we
shah see before US a region, noun
famous and bewildering indeed. but
overlooked and dominated by few
lofty peaks. to which men shall give
unforgotten names, and upon whose
submits the sun of truth shall lnger
long after the subject lands lie in
darkness and oblivion. Even so will it
be with the few great names that, in
the lapse of endless time, will survive
and keep alive the memory of our
highest, the purest the most SYM
metrical, and the most iIlustrious will
be that of George Gordon Meade"

cstentatious was not less sincere. He
reconci!ed religion and science To his own
satisfaction as did many another scien-

he was too thoroughly absorbed il his

the Washington Police Court yesterday
morning the attorney for George NC
Goines, Lewellyn w. Pullies, and sam
uel @. Thompson, all colored, the hrst
named from this city, charged With con
spring to defrsud the Capital traction
Company of $500, argued the legality
OF the charge OF conspiracy against the
defendants, The attorney con enoed
that there Is no such charge on the
statute books, and that therefore his
clients should be released on account OF
the defective information against them.
The attorney for the government. Mr..
MullowDy, laid especial stress on the
fact that the hearing in the Police Court
was merely preliminary to the real tril
OF the defendants, and that he did not
believe such legal techDicslities should
be brought forward to block the prog.
ress of the case. As the point had
been raised, however, the prosecutor
Continued, the attorneys for the defense
we're referred to the decision OF the
Supreme Court in the star route cases
over thirty years ago. when the charge
of conspiracy was definitely established
on the United States statute books.
Judge Scott dismissed the question oil
the legality OF the charge, and each OF
the defendants was held 10 81 500 bond

were remsnded to Jail.
