through many editions. Whether one
agrees with all of the authors con-
clusions or not he can but admire the
courage and cogency with which ne
reaches them. Mr. Wood is both a
fearless and an Independent thinker.
He wears the intellectual collar OF no
man. or set of man, and it is very
evident that he has little patience with
one who permits his natural powers
to be fettered in this manner. IN
The Symphony of Life" it seems to us
that Mr. Wood is seen at his best.
The motive of the book is both con-
structive and unitary although there is
a wide range of variation in the stud
les and interpretations which II EN-
braces. Mr.. Wood sees "a general
though mainly a blind quest for the
normal divine counterpart when
alone can round out the vital neces-
sites of the human constitution
such Il demand he believes to be a
positive prophecy of the supply.
The author is always an optimist.
He believes always IN the eternal law
of progress. AT the beginning OF the
twentieth century, he declares. "A
general evolutionary reconciliation OF
the highest order is apparent. Every
thing there is, has some fitting place
and legitimate office. In the great
scheme of the Whole. each church.
sect, system and institution. however
imperfect, which is striving to uphlt
men, contains the most good for its
own particular section OF the human
family. and its very existence Is Wit
ness of such adaptation. AS rapidly as
its utility is outgrown in the natural
order il will be replaced by one more
fitting and this may be without any
overt antagonism or criticism. IL one
finds his normal hunger more fully
met in some new institution. that which
previously has been reenant will drop
away Of itself. and no one need try to
strip it away.
1t is evident that Mr.. Wood is dis
posed to give the broadest kind Of in
depreciation to the term liberal. That
which is truly liberal he declares
will not denouncc that which IS
conservative nor even that which Is
narrow The higher evolution silent

"A Musical Reformation" by John
A. cone: cloth: 12mo. % pp. price. so
cents. New York: The Abbey Press.
Most of the eight short stories which
are collected in this dainty little vol
ume have previously been published in
various periodicals. in which form
they attracted very general attention.
The interest of this volume to Journal
readers will be enhanced by the fact
that the author is a Maine man-one
who has given evidence OF literary
gifts Of a high order, and who may be
depended upon, if life and health be
spared to him, TO make a secure place
for himself among the successful
writer's of the present day.
The title Of the book is that Of the
opening story. and is somewhat mis-
leading a. to the real scope and char
acter of the work. 1t has nothing
whatever to do with the musical art;
but presents TO us "A series Of short
stories of exceptional strength and
grace under the following titles:
"A Musical Reformation" My Es-
cape from Suicide. "A Strange
ADOPTION Mr.. Brett's Excursion" &"
"A Spoiled story" "A Natural Con
clusion. The New Minister His
w eek Off.
These stories are original, full of ac-
ton, and with strength of analysis
that gives them peculiar individual
ity ana charm. The characters are
sharply drawn and the narrative in
each instance unfolds itself with nat
ural strength and Vigor.
n writer who can do work Of this
character is capable of more ambitious
efforts.

BOY DROWNED
IN THE COHANSEY.
Leon JOslin Met Untimely Death
in the COhanSey River.

A sad drowning accident occurred
Thursday afternoon, the victim of the
muddy waters of the Cohansey river
being ten-year-old boy, Leon Joslin,
son of Theodore Joslin.
The little fellow, with some COM
panions, went down to the river
Thursday afternoon, just back of the
Arctic Ice plant. Dofing his cloth
ing the little fellow padded about the
edge of the river, giving little heed
to danger.
At this point the water suddenly
breaks off into very deep hole, and
the youngster must have slipped down
this and into deep water. His COM
panions were greatly alarmed, and one
of them dashed in after him. Leon
caught hold of him and had he not
released his hold this boy, too, would
have been drowned
When Joslin released his hold upon
his companion, he sunk back into the
deep water and did not again rise to
the surface.
The alarm was at once given and
people crowded the shore. Searching
parties began looking for the body,
and the river was dragged for hours.
1t seemed for long while as if the
search would prove unsuccessful, but
Thursday night about II O'Clock the
body was found near where it went
down. The little fellow was taken to
the saddened home.

Will Test Debtors Law.

At the meeting of the Jersey City
Merchants Protective Association
held recently the delegates who at
tended the convention, reported that
the counsel for the State organization
read an opinion during the convention
in which he stated that Senate bill
No. SO, the Judgment debtors act or
garnashee law, as it is known, was all
right and would stand test in the
courts. The merchants discussed the
subject and it was finally decided
that the association should make a
test case. The directors were in
structed to select good case and pre-
pare for trial.
