Why are the publishers turning
their pound sterling and dollar
thoughts to the classicS-the English
and the translated into English class
lcs? asks the New York World. No
ffense is meant. Publishing is on thl
iange of the fine Extraordinarily
1t is a business with money making
for its object, although it is true that
some publishers have always con-
tributed a share of their possible
profits to the making of fine books;
that is. they have had a proper :ide
in their work.
Still, when all is SAID there remains
the fact that mcl print and sell books
for gain: ANA wnen there is an out
break along q certain line, as there is
now, a pecuniary req son lies at the

The anonymity of the author of
popular book is apparently sure way
to create certain amount Of talk and
arouse certain degree of interest.
Mr. John Lane is perhaps counting
upon this in withholding the name of
the writer of The Aristocrats, which
he is about to publish. The book
gives, in the form of a series of LETT
ters. the experiences of an English
woman who visits America and passes
some time in the Adirondack region.
Mr.. Lanes American representative
promises later to disclose the authors
name, which he says will be found to
be that of "a well known person.

NEW YORK WORLD.

Time has demonstrated that the Thrice
a-Week World stands alone in it's class.
Other papers have initiated its form but
not its success. This is because it tells
hfhe news all the time and tells it i'm
I partially. whether the news be political
o. ctherwise. 1t is, in fact, almost a
daily at the price OF weekly and you
cannot afford to be without it.
Republican and democrat alike can
read the Thrice a week World with abso-
iute confidence in it's truth.
10 addition to news, it publishes first
class serial stories and other features
suited to the home and fireside.

The Outrageous murder Of Womack
csased . voluntary meeting oi the citi-
zsos on tho evening os the 18th. The
street becs0e lioed with faces wearing
sn anxio0a, inSuisinG look. Some gath
cred 70 psss resolutions expressing
their indignant ccutenpt for the Rend-
tsh crims, and IL possible to devise plans
TO prevent asy farther trouble oe like or
eiu,ilar character. Others came with
their minds made up that the only wise
remedy vas to promptly destroy all the
dens tina. harsor the present incum bcnts
whether they are criminals, accessories
or duped hirelings and sce that there
arc no moro like characters permitted
there.
Othtrs came TO act In harmony with
the best approved plan.
Tho meeting developed three torcs
who opposed the obstruction OF tho oh
noxious den OF any other act OF the peo-
pie, insisting that legal prosecution was
the only proper redress. and that Rad.
cliff, being British subject. would be
indemnincd by an international court.
and Delta county would have to pay the
findings OF said court. That It was n
seri,us matter TO meddlc with or destroy
property OF Uncle Sam aud that any
such persons would he hunted down.
That boys. women aud children and
fools arc liable TO do rash things and tho
representative element Of Delta county
would have TO pay the bill. as we can
not put mems heads on boys shoulders.
etc.
All this frivoious talk from 60 small a
minority tended to enrage tho mass
who contcmptuousiy answered by say
ing: "Wc hold Radcliffe responsible Tor
the acts Of his agents. II he places
armed men they are instructed what to
do and have did Il. not In their own in
forests, but ignorantly an ! In accord
ance with long standing instructions,

G. HI. Crouans seriously Hurt.

Hank Cronsnt, the E. & p. agent in
Eureka, met with quite q severe accident
at his residence early last Wednesday
evening. While putting up . wire screen
over . window the step ladder on which
be was standing broke. causing him to
pitch forward through the glass window
sash. His left hand coming in contact
with the broken glass he received two Sc
we're cuts, one or the feshy part Of the
hand and the other diagonally across the
wrist. The wounds bled ~profusely be-
fore surgical assistance was rendered him
at the Schneider Drug Store, where DR..
Des Msrais was obliged to take no less
than fourteen stitches in sewing them up.
His injuries, though painful. are not con-
sidered serious. II will be some time,
however, before he will regain the use Of
his hand. During his temporary lay.off
E. w. fremont is acting in Mr.. Cronsnt's
place at the Z. l. P. depot.

CoIonnade Building sold.

The two story brick Colonnsde build.
ing at the southwest corner Of Clark
and Monroe streets was sold by NJ.
Karsky on Wednesday last to the
Italian Benevolent Society. The So.
ciety has heretofore had its quarters
iu the Masonic and Odd Fellows Hall,
but had considered the plan Of having a
building for it's exclusive use advisable
for some time. and finally settled on the
Colonnade as being best suited to it's pur
pose. The building is in good condition
and needs but little repairing. A lodge
room will be arranged on the lower hool
and the rooms on the upper floor will
probably be rented if tenants can bt
procured for them.
