HONOR ROLL OF ALLIES.

From the Baltimore News
 The effort to ascertain and preserve the names of all the French officers, soldiers and sailors who aided the united States in securing independence is an interest ing and commendable instance of that spirit which has of late years resulted in so many movements to preserve the historic memorials of the patriotism of past generations. Without French aid it is doubtful whether the thirteen colonies could have broken away from the rule of England, Washington and his officers appreciated that and gave every praise and honor to Latayette and his com- panions, but there have since been periods when the French might have felt that the gratitude of the United States was not lasting.
 It is therefore of international signifi- canoe that Colonel Chaille-Long, a Balti- morean, should have spent several years in Paris perfeeting an ''nonor roll' of our allies. under the direction of a commits sion headed by Ambassador Porter. As an outward sign of the present friendly relations between the two nations it is pleasant to note the Colonel Chaflle- Long has founded French Jranch of the Sons of the Revolution, which already includes the names of the LaFayettes and Rochambeaus of today.

VENEZUELA SLIGHTED.
senor Fortoul Complains That 1t Has
 No Cnairmanship.

Mexico City. November 25-This morn- ings session of the Pan-American Con- gress was chiefly taken up with the re- port of the work done by the several committees. Mr. Mocedo, one of the secretaries of the conference, made up a list of the chairmen of the several com mttees, who had been appointed thus far Thereupon Joseph G. Portoul, del- gate of Venezuela, arose and said that he considered 1t slight upon his coun- try that neither of its delegates had been appointed to the chairmanship of a committed.
 President Raigosa said that this was a matter with which the officers of the conference had nothing to do. that the members of the committees chose their chairmen. He remarked, however, that some of the committees had not yet organized and there might yet be time to remedy the oversight alluded to by MT. Portoul.
 MT. Sanchez Margot, one of the Mexi- can delegates, said that he was pre- pared to resign the chairmanship of the committte of agriculture and industries in favor of either of the delegates of Venezuela.
 President Raigosa said that he was not empowered to accept the resignation as the chairmanship rested with the members of the committees themselves
 MT. Portoul said that he did not know whether at present he would be prepared to accept the chairmanship of a conn mittee.

Railway Earninqs This Year.

In the first nine months of the cal endar year the Southern Pacific leads all the railroads in increases of gross earnings, for it reports an increase amounting to $S,467,42O. The South ern reports gain of s1,804,979 in gross earnings; the Frisco a gain of 1,397,56 and the Louisville and Nashville a gain of $1,998,554. The Seaboard Airline gathered in s1,110,- 514 more than it did in the first nine months of last year. The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley did nearly as we'll, as did the Norfolk and Western. In the nine months mentioned the South ern roads as whole show gains to 12 per cent, as against of 9.9 per cent throughout the coun- try. The gross earnings of Southern railroads in the nine months of this year foot up $116,2S0,52O, as against SlOh.h23.4z0 In the corresponding months of last year.
 These facts show that railway earn ings are still tending upward in the South, and when they are increased it is certain that prosperity reigns and that all, or nearly all, branches of business are gaining volume and strength. There Is no better test of business activity than railway earn ings, and these are tending upward in the South at least.
 We add here list of Southern roads -<'s->Te gross earnings are reported in 'I~ A'st nine months of the present fscar:

"WESTERFElT."
By Charles T. Logan.

By CnaTleS I. Logan,
 The success of the Georgia novelist, Will N. Harben, in his last book, ''Wes- terfelt" QIarper & Bros.l, has been more decided than anything yet produced by this prominent young author That 1t Is his best work MT. Harben acknowledges himself, and its sale has been prodigious. It seems to have been his purpose to get out of the ordinary rub, and in this he has succeeded most admirably in Yves terfelt." If the average woman's idea of the best novel-the one which leaves the heroine totally misunderstood right up to the last paragraph-be the correct view, MT. Harben has scored even a greater triumph than usual, for the mys- tery of Harriet Floyd is continued even down to the last paragraph.
 Down in the mountains of North Geor- gia is region inhabited by the original Cracker" 1t is in the Cohutta moun- tains, a spar of the Blue Ridge chain, that MT. Harben finds his material .or "Westerfelt" and he has presented so true picture of life among these plain country folk as language can make ii. The work is from the hand of an artist, and no one could have framed so true tale without having first become a stu dent of the people and the country. There is not a single flaw in the book and it could not be improved John Westerfelt a high-minded type of the North Georgia farmer, is better of than most of his neighbors, and his handsome looks makes him the idol of every mountain 1a1. sad suicide of Sallie Dawson. of whom John had grown tired, This tragic chap. ter only strengthens the character of Westerfelt, who moves away from the old homestead and settles in the village of Cartright, where he buys the local livery stable. The mother of sallie Daw- son proves his Nemesis. and his life is not made any happier by the presence of "Teet" Wambush, an outlaw of the country, attentive of Harriet Floyd, the adopted daughter of the landlady of the village hotel. Wambush and Westerfelt have terrible encounter with pistols and knives. In which the latter is wound ed-stabbed by the outlaw. John is l nursed back to health by Harriet, but a misunderstanding plays havoc with both 1 of their hearts. and this entanglement brings out strongly the art of the au- thor. He presents some thoroughly dra- matic scenes, among them the capture of Westerfelt by the whitecaps, who al- most lynch him, but who is saved by h1s bravery at the moment when the rope is ready.
 As a whole, it may be said that "NEes- terfelt" is a most successful novel de cidedly one of the best of the day, and few writers have surpassed it in genn- ineness. faithful portrayal and perfect character study. It is really a cracker one
