DOROTHY VERNON OF HADDoN HALL.

DOROTHY VERNON OF HADDON HALL.
By CHARLES MAJOR Illustrated by Howard
Chandler Christy. The Macmillan Co.
limo, S1.50. :.
Charles Major Is perhaps the most popular
teller Of love stories among living novelists.
In Dorothy Vernon, as in his earlier novel
WAen Knighthood soas in Floaoa-. time and dis,
lance lose their significance under his spell
He has the rare and happy faculty which brings
home to the heart the spirit of gallant times
and the imperious call OF youths springtime.
Well written from first page to last, this
novel Is worthy to rank as one of the best
pieces Of American felton, and as literature
Mr.. Major has discovered what potent imple-
ments are language and style in the creation of
romance, and he has mastered their use All
praise to him for this it cannot fail, moreover,
to add to his popularity, thus earning for his
willingness to labor and improve two rewards,
one material, the other artistic.
The romance is the chief concern with this
author; 1t is the very root as well as the flower
of his gift. This is historical tale, so far as
period, scene, and minor characters are con-
cerned Indeed, even his hero and his heroine,
and the romance itself, are based upon historic
fact. But we are after all ever in the land of
lovers, the best Of realms in which to dwell in
romantic fiction. Dorothy Vernon is an Eliza
bethan maid, but there is in her suggestion
of wilful young womanhood as it reveals itself
through the ages, a touch Of the eternal fomi-
nine in her defiance of authority for the sake Of
the man she loves. She is not historic figure
interesting on account of its distance from the
women of to-day; she is flesh and blood of this
twentieth century, all gentleness and reused
fury in defence of her all; all love and strength
and fortitude under persecution and opposi-
ton, living, loving, lovable girl, ready to risk
all for the sake Of "him," living woman of
to-day. She will appeal more potently, VIC
think, to the popular Imagination than die
even the heroine of the earlier book, because
she is depicted In more vigorous lines and
stronger colors, because Mr.. Major has mas
tered his trade.
The elopement of Dorothy Vernon with John
Manners is an historic episode; Haddon Hall
belongs to this day to their descendants, the
Dukes of Rutland. Queen Elizabeth visited
the castle; the state chamber, where she rested
overnight, Is still shown to visitors in its orig
inal state. Mary Stuart. too, enters the story,
to rouse the jealousy Of Dorothy. In short,
the lover of the accuracy of history In fiction
may rest contented with the story; but he will
probably care little for that once he has been
caught by the spirit and freshness of the ro-
nance.

United States Geological Survey. I'm
der the existing laws the Geological
Survey has charge of the mapping of
the Government forest reserves, and in
addition is required to conduct a study
OF the forest and woodlands-their dis
tribution, the size and density of the
timber, the distribution of the leading
economic species, the damage inflicted
by fires, the extent to which the forests
are pastured, the amount of timber al
ready cut, the effects of decreasing and
other related features.
The papers from the Twenty first
Annual Report describe the progress of
this work in the Lewis and Clark Re-
serves of Montana, the Olympic and

impressive Ceremonies at Com
mencement of New YOrk's New
Custom House.
New York, Oct. THE cornerstone
Of the new New York custom house
was laid to-day. The ceremonies were
made impressive by the presence of a
number of committees of prominent
men from the leading mercantile and
industrial organizations and detach-
ments of militia and regular troops
Speeches were made by Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw and former Secre-
tary Gage
Secretary Shaw said in part:
Our foreign commerce, like the pro-
ductive and conSumptiVe capacity of
our people has increased more rapidly
than our population. Since 1860 our
population has multiplied by two and
one-half, while our foreign commerce
has multiplied by three and third.
thus our very prosperity rebounds to
the advantage of those across the seas,
who supply that which we do not pro-
ouce
Not only is this true, but the pub
&c revenues are dependent in a great
measure upon our prosperity. In 1894
We AAel0 d u6llCll III Oh
$70,00O,000. l have had the actuary of
the Treasury Department carefully
estimate the probable result if the con-
d1tions existing in 1894 were repeated
and the people of the United States
were to produce, to import and to con-
sumo in the same proportion per capita
that they did in that year. and of the
same class of goods, and he estimated
our annual deficit, under the present
revenue laws of the United States, at
approximately $50 900, 00O
we labor under a disadvantage, as
compared with some other countries
in standard of weights and measures.
Sooner or later we must come to the
metric system, and in my judgment,
the sooner the better. But we have
the advantage over all other great
commercial countries in our monetary
denominations, l wish 1 might say in
monetary system"
In conclusion he said:
Give us a currency as secure, a
banking policy as elastic. a system of
weights and measures as convenient as
our rivals, give us non-partisan sup
port to such measures as will establish
lines of steamship communication with
countries in South America, South At
RIGA and the islands adjacent, give us
the ISthmian canal and we ought to
be able to maintain relations to the
commerce of the world as will conserve
the peace and good will of all nations,
while we carry beneath every sky a
language that breathes liberty and pa
triotism and the object lesson of a flag
that stands for equal rights and JUS
tice according to law"

ARMY MANEUVERS.

Fine Yesterday, but Not on Spectac-
uIar Order.
Fort Riley, Kan. Oct. 7.-To-day's
maneuvers were fine in performance,
but poor from a spectacular point of
of view, as showing any of the pomp
and circumstance of war. The exer-
else, in brief, was the deployment Of
line of battle preparatory to making
an attack upon an enemy in position.
The attacking force of the Blues was
commanded by Gen. Kobbe. The Blues
advanced to the attack in three COL
umns with great energy. The Browns
fired upon them just enough to enable
the Blues to determine the position Of
their enemy and to form their line Of
attack. Operations then ceased and
the formations of attack and
defense were inspected by the
umpires. During the afternoon,
Menopher's mule battery went out into
the hills for target practice. This bat
terry was purchased abroad for use in
the Philippines and it's practicability
in the field has not yet been demon
strated. The practice this afternoon
was with shrapnel and was pronounced
satisfactory.
The pontoon bridge constructed
across the Kansas river by the engin-
GERS was tested during the afternoon
by a succession of troops, infantry
cavalry and artillery. The bridge
withstood every test and was declared
by the unpires to be good enough for
anybody in times of war.

MERIT MAKES 1T FAM
GUS,
The Only Remedy in the World, En-
cept "a Surgical Operation, that
VIII Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.

The study of physicians. the expert
nents of chemists, the loudly adver-
tised pretensions of quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction; to
find a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
gave some relief,but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required Is one which
will Immediately stop the pain so Sc
we're in many cases of piles, and then
by contracting the small blood vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro-
duces a radical cure by reducing and
finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inhamed, raw mucous sur
faces.
Until a few years ago no such reme-
dy had been produced, but at that
time a suppository was placed upon
the market. which has since proven
itself to be the long sought permanent
cure for this common and distressing
trouble: 1t has rapidly become famous
throughout the United States and
Canada, and is now sold by all drug
gtsts under the name or pyramid Pile
Cure.
1t is now the best known, because its
merit and safety have advertised II
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word of mouth, from one sufferer
to another; people who have tried ev-
erything else. even submitting to pain
full and dangerous surgical operations
without avail have finally found that
piles can be cured without pain and
without expense practically, as the
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the
nominal price Of so cents and 81 per
package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contains no CO.

Immense Steel Structure Will Be

Washington, Oct. 7.-Secretary
Moody has decided to have the floating
dry dock at Havana transported to the
Pensacola navy yard as soon as it can
be made ready for the voyage. Con-
structor Taylor at Havana has re-
ported that temporary repairs which
will fit the dock for the short trip
across the Florida Straits to Pensacola
can be made at the cost of a few
thousand dollars, and once at Pensa-
cola the extensive damage sustained
through the collapse of the dock can be
repaired at leisure. 1t was in contem-
plation to make these repairs at Ha-
yana, but the presence of this symbol
of United States authority in the prin-
cipal harbor of the island was annoy
ing to the Cubans and the removal was
ordered in Difference to their feelings.
