eQuINCY ADAMS SAWYER, ;,

The public will be treated to a very pretty New England play when .sQun- cy Adams Sawyer" is presented at Polls on Monday evening. The novel from which the play has been dr |. ua- tlzed is popular one and has been read by thousands The chief love in- terest of the play as well as the look is the strong admiration of young Saw yer, the city fellow and son of a mil lionaire, for Alice Pettengill, a blind girl. It was T good deal of a question when the dramatization was made as to whether the public would be in sym pathy with such peculiar cour1ship, and the dramtist seriously thought of getting away from the book in this re- spect by having Sawyer in love with L1ndy Putnam. It was finally de cided, however, to follow the book. with the result of making the play more effective. An excellent company. headed by the famous Charles Dick son of "Incog' memory, has the play III hand. so that a finished performance is assured. Seats are now on sale at 70, 3o, 90, 75 cents and $1.

Edward EggIeston's Work.

Meredith Nicholson, in Atlantic Monthly.
A fault of all of Eggleston's earlier
stories is their too serious insistence on
the moral they carried-a resort to the
Dickens method of including divine provi-
dence among the dramatis personae, but
this is not surprising in one in whom there
was, by his own confession, a lifelong
struggle between the lover of literary art
and the religionist. the reformer, the phil
anthropist. the man with a mission"
There Is little humor in these stories there
was doubtless little humor i'm the life It
self. but there is abundant good nature.
In all he maintains consistently. the point
Of view Of the realist, his lapses being
chiefly where the moralist has betrayed
him. There are many pictures which de-
note his understanding of the illuminative
value of honltly incident I'm the life he then
knew best; there are the spelling school,
the stirring religious debates. the barbecue
the charivari, the infare, glimpses of Tip
pecanoe and Tyler, too, and the hard-cider
campaign. Those times rapidly receded
Indiana is one of the older States now. and
but for Eggleston's tales there would be
no trustworthy record of the period he de-
scribes
Lowell had made American dialect re-
spectacle, and had used it as the vehicle
for political gospel, but Eggleston en-
ployed the Hoosier lingua rustica to aid in
the portrayal of a type. He did not, how
ever, employ dialect with the minuteness
of subsequent writer's, notably Mr.. Riley
but Southwestern idiom impressed him. and
his preface and notes in the later editions
of the Schoolmaster are invaluable to the
student. Dialect remains i'm Indiana, as
elsewhere, largely a matter of experience
and opinion. There has never been uni
form folk speech peculiar to the people
living within the borders of the State. The
Hoosier dialect, so-called, consisting more
of elisionS and vulgarized pronuncia tons
than of true idiom is spoken wherever
the Scotch-Irish influence is perceptible in
the west central States. notably in the
southern counties of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. 1t Is not to be COMPOUNDED with
the cruder speech of the poor Whitley"
whose wild strain in the Hoosier blood was
believed by Eggleston to be an inheritance
Of the English bond slave; and there are
other vague and baffing elements in the
Ohio valley speech. Mr.. Riley's Hoosier is
more sophisticated than Egglestons, and
thirty years of change lie between them

have Eggleston's own statement that the
Hoosers he knew in his youth were wary

poral punishment his children ''if they

A Hospital for Books.
Chicago Record-Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
After reading large number OF juvenile
books a writer in the Boston Transcript
has decided that there should be a hospital
where unhealthy volumes may be doctored
and operated upon for the good of litera-
ture and the rising generation. 1t cannot
be denied that the juvenile book is subject
to complaints. Some have appendicitis, or
things that don't belong there. Others have
indigestion, or unpleasant things going on
inside. Most frequent of all Is glossits. or
swollen words. To this list might be added
strabismus, or seeing things with the wrong
eye-the eye of age and not of childhood.
Whether these diseases are infectious in
the book world has not yet been determined
by science, though the prevalence of the
disorders at every Christmas season would
seem to indicate much. How could the
swelled-word distemper get a hold upon so
large proportion of the chiidrens stories
If not by the methods of measles? And
how could there be SO many juvenile books
written about children, yet not for chill
dren, unless the thing were catching? At
any rate, the books with unpleasant things
going on inside have a bad effect upon the
children that swallow them.
