 Proceeding.

Monday afternoon Dan Edwards Dan Coleman and Sandy Jackson three of the four negroes who held up and robbed two negroes in the rear , of Coleman's saloon last Friday night were brought out and given a prelim- mary hearing in Garrett's court. Morris Jackson, one of the four was fined Monday morning, not for rob- bery, the charge. but for petit larceny
 Robbery was the charge docketed against the trio of negroes arraigned in the afternoon but the States at torney agreed to let the men enter a plea of guilty and ordered the J. P to fine them S10 and costs each.

The Ordeal Of Elizabeth" is novel
Of New York society, which appears anon
ymcusIy. Considerable curiosity is likely
to be excited by the fact that while the
author is undeniahly clever and brilliant.
and familiar with the ways Of the smart
set, there is no clue to his or her idcnti-
ty. Most people Will get the impression
that it is d woman's work. but there are
no earmarks which would point to any
writer now in the field OF fiction.
The heroine is young girl, who,
through a long chain of curious circum-
stances. comes to be falsely accused OF
murder Much Of the detail of this part
of the story seems to be borrowed from
the famous MolincuX poisoning case, and
it is evidently the authors purpose to
show the fiimsy character of circumstan-
tial evidence and the danger of disre-
garding too completely ones munitions as
10 the guilt or innocence Of a prisoner.
This point of view is what might be cali
ed essentially feminine. Opportunity is
also made for several filings az yellow
journalism, and the author states in so
many words that enc of the witnesses in
her hercine's trial was suhorned by such
newspaper. This is rather a yellow
charge to make, but il may have some
basis in truth somewhere As for the
purely literary qualities of the story. the
heroine is sweet and wholesome if some
what oversensitive the hero is a lay fig
ure, and the murdered man. Paul Hal

4 Determined Author.

They tell m amusing story on Henry
NJ. HYDE. whose new book, "one Forty
Two" just published by Herbert $. Stone
& Co, treats in clever way of an un-
touched side of city life. a few years
ago. it seems, Mr.. Hyde was sent for by a
Chicago publisher, who wanted to get
out a volume OF golf stories. He thought
Mr. Hyde was the man to write them to
order. hut he wished to make certain be-
fore he committed himself completely.
Without signing a contract he persuaded
Mr. Hyde 10 write him couple Of stories
and send them to his office by way Of get
ting started. week later The stories
came back with a note that for directness
and force would be hard to surpass.
Don't write any more OF that rot" il
said Nobody but a fool would print
stories like these" Mr. Hyde sent one Of
the tales thus rudely rejected to Harper's.
and it was printed a month or two later in
"Harper's Bazaar" Mr. Hyde marked
copy Of the Bazaar" and sent Il to the
Chicago publisher with a note which read:
Referring to your last letter-here's one
fool; more TO come" A little later the
second OF the stories was published in the
Smart Set" and again a copy went for
ward labeled Fool No. 2" After third
story had been written, published. marked
and forwarded. the publisher in question
sent an answer TO Mr.. Hyde by special
delivery. Let up il said. What's the

Personal MENTION.
The Original Judge Lynch.

Tradition sometimes plays strange
pranks with dead mems regulations, says
Thomas Walker Page in the December
Atlantic" II would make an interesting
half hour for the eavesdropper beyond
the Styx If he could hear the exchange OF
amenities between Duns Scotus and
Judge" Lynch; the one a shrewd. clear
reasoner. whose name now signifies a
fool; the other a simple Quaker gentle
man, whose name has come TO stand for
organized savagery. Charles Lynch was
a man whose services TO his country as
a brave pioneer and righteous judge, as a
soldier and a statesman. are by no means
deserving OF oblivion. still less of oblo-
guy. II seems, indeed, one Of the inlqui-
ties OF fate that his name should now be
universally applied TO proceedings that
no one would condemn more heartily than
he. The records of the court OF Bedford

1.-THE Billy Stories" by Eva Lovett, is a
collection of fantastic tales supposed to
have been told by a small 10y anxious to
put off the inevitable bedtime. II Is
pleasing variation on bedtime stories told
by fathers and mothers, Of which juye-
nile literature is full. and incidently the
tales are much mere entertaining. The
small boys imagination runs riot in a
delightfully."- irresponsible fashion. The in
dIcations are that when he grows up he
is likely to become a second Munchausen.
Here and there the youngster throws in
some observations which reflect slightly
on the literary qualities of the tales which
have Influenced him. For instance, in
the story Of his experience as q casta
way-for the boy IS always the hero Of
his own ictions-he says:
I'm the side OF another mountain found
q great cave, and one day ! started to
explore this. Built into the side Of the
mountain / found an immense bake shop.
IT had probably been built there by the
same men who built the brickyard. The
earth and stones OF the cave had fallen
down right In front of the oven door. so
that IT WAS stopped up. But ] dug ii
out, and found the oven full of loayes OF
bread, and os cakes and pies Whether
they had been put there for safe keeping
or not don't know. but at any rate they
had kept safe enough, and after that
had a fresh loaf OF bread every day, and
O cake and pie, too. Another
time ] discovered in the same way a big
clothing establishment. II was full of all
kinds of clothes of all sizes. !
think that was a much better kind of
desert island than the ones you generally
read about. What's the use OF finding the
proper kinds Of animals. and fnding
beedles and thread and then sewing up
suit of clothes for yourself, when you
can just as well find the clothing house,
and fni the clothes all ready made to
put on?"
Some people might have punished this
boy for lying, but his mother was not
that kind OF woman. She recognized The
fact that fiction making is one OF the
natural instincts OF human nature. New

Persons with long memories and a del
icate sense OF humor will recall MAX
Adeler's" earlier books as absolutely the
only funny" literature OF their kind.
The author is almost the only humorist
of twenty five years ago whose books are
still in demand and he is the only living
humorist who for a quarter OF a century
has refused TO be funny-in print. New
ertheless, his pen has been busy with
subjects OF great interest to the business
world, and he has refused scores OF pub
fishers requests for books In his old vein
How he came tc relent is thus explained
Ia the preface to Captain Bluitt:"
More than a quarter OF a century ago
the writer OF this tale produced three or
four books containing material designed
to supply amusement Concluding then
that the worlds stock OF foolishness was
not one OF the needs OF the race nor
likely TO confer dignity upon him who en-
gagged In It. he turned his attention TO
serious matters and endeavored 20 per

Thomas Hardy's new Hook.

The title Of Mr.. Thomas Hardy's forth
coming N0lume OF poems, which the Har-
pers will publish shortly, will be Poems
Of the Past and the Present" not Poems
of Feeling. Dream- and Deed as was at
first announced. The rumor in England
that Mr.. Hardy had stated he would write
no more novels has happily been denied
The noyclist's first efforts in literature,
however. were made in the form of verse.
Of which he wrote large quantity in his
earlier years. Although he was articlcd
at the age. of seventeen to an ecclesiasu-
cal architect, the leaning toward author
ship was too strong to be overcome. His
first printed contribution appeared in
Chambers Journal in the form OF an
article entitled How / Built Myself a
House" and 1t was not till six years later
that he published his first novel, "Desper-
ate Remedies" in 1871.

MIR. McCutchcnn,s Luck.

The meaning Of the word Graustark,
the title Of George Barr McCutcheons ro-
nance, is derived from two German
words, grau and stark. Grau means grey,
old. or hoary. and stark means strong
Mr.. McCutcheon named his principality
without consulting German or any other
kind of a tionary-thcrefore. without
knowledge of the fitness OF the two words,
as he is not a German scholar. After the
story was finished young woman read it
and curioUsly asked the author where he
got the title. He replied that it came
wholly from his ina gination, but quietly
concluded il would be wise to look ii up
before allowing It 10 90 airy further. ii
was with the utmost surprise that he
found the two German words so remark
ably applicable. especially as he had
manufactured the name in the densest
ignorance. The combination of names
could not have been more luckily thrown
together. for "Graustark" signifies "old
and strong" and his conception of the
little principally justifies the title.

Hyde calls his work the confessions of a

TO reform himself. so that he would have
passed muster in the average Sunday
school, but he was not a very bad boy for
all that. Some people will need a die

dialectic Than a golf club. Kail-yard fic-
