to the wisdom or policy OF the ordinance,
but the courts will always intervene to
protect property rights until conflicting
claims can be settled. An injunction by a
court of competent jurisdiction is a istrong
writ, and aldermen as well as others should
be made to understand that it cannot be
violated with impunity.

President Palma, of Cuba. ought to know
what its Constitution requires. and when
he says that the approval of the reciprocity
treaty by the Senate will be sufficient, with
cut the cooperation of the House. he prob
ably speaks advisedly. AS he lived in this
country twenty years there is no question
and his support of the proposed treaty is
undoubtedly sincere. The indications are
now good for its ratification unless fac

This is bright and pleasing book of fic-
ton of the realistic school. There are no
flights of imagination in IT. no approach to
sensationalism and not much plot, but
there are some good character drawing
anu excellent sketches of family and club
life In an English small town. The social
habits and entertainments of the towns
people are described in a pleasant style,
with a vein of humor running through 1t,
and the different characters are made so
real that the reader seems to be associating
with them and attending the Ladies' Shak-
speare Society, the curate's bees, the chill
dren's party, etc. The book is cleverly
written. Florence Popham is the author
and d. Appleton e. Co. are its publishers.

In the preface to this book the author,
Stanley Waterloo, says the story is
literally true. being the autobiography of
a convict named Thompson. Most of the
tale is of the mans experiences at sea- in
prison at Richmond during the civil war
and of various exploits, savory and other
wise. His sense of moral obligation seems
to have been given away before his birth.

Many novels have been written about the
early period of this country, before and
during the Revolutionary war;. but this
one by John Bennett is of sufficient merit
to justify it's publication even after
host of others. Mr.. Bennett has chosen as
his hero Barnaby Lee. son of Capt. Harry
Lee, but he has not made the mistake
of placing him upon such lofty PIN
nacle that the remaining characters are
dwarfed into comparative insignificance.
Barnaby Lee is well portrayed and makes
a good impression, despite the fact that
occasionally he betrays a falling short or
his gallant fathers bravery. However, the
able fortitude 'e which goes far towards
atoning for his other deficiency. There is
an admirable portraiture of STURDY, de-
termined old Peter Stuyvesant, director
general of the colony of New Amsterdam.
whose sense of responsibility and love or
native country weigh so heavily upon him
that he would, single handed, oppose the
attempt of the English war vessels to re-
Charles III, although many of his officers
and practically all of the burghers were
begging him to surrender the colony. Inc
grand old hero does not give up, however,
until he has spoken his mind to the
wretched towards in a way to bring burn
ing bushes of shame to their cheeks. Ger
rift Van Sweringen and Charles Calvert,
the latter Governor of Maryland under
King Charles, but fast friends, play con-
spicuous parts in the story. One of the
most vivid bits I'm the book is the descrip-
ton of the duel between these boyhood
friends. A feature that will commend
the story to Juveniles Cfor whom it was
partly written), is the stormy career OF
Picaroon John King, alias Temperance
Pyepott and a great many other names.
Kings unmasking by Governor Calvert is
a fine piece of dramatic description. A
pretty love affair of by no means weari-
some length and detail is evolved before
the end of the book, and further interest
Is supplied by a mystery of heritage affect
