UNwHOLEsOME NOVELS.

The cable dispatches a few days ago
contained an account of the suicide of
a nineteen-year-old boy named Gosse,
son of a clergyman of Somersetshire.
England. The lad had dressed himself
in his fathers cassock. to which was
attached a wooden cross, and then
hanged himself in his room. On a ia
BILE a prayer book was open at the
burial service. In a letter which the
10y left he said: This is not self
murder. If thine eye offend thee, pluck
it out. If thy life offend thee, give it
back to him who gave it thee. I ask
that this cross be put on my breast in
my grave. Bury me in this holy robe"
The cable went on to state that the
boy had been reading Marie Corellfs
Mighty Atom" and that his death
was in imitation of the principal scene
in the book. 1t was further stated that
Gosse's was the second suicide in imi-
tation of that described in the book
Marie Corelli has been for several
years touted as the favorite author of
Queen Victoria If that were true, her
late most gracious Majesty had very
poor taste in literature. If Miss Corelli
ever wrote anything wholesome. in
spring, invigorating, that fact has en-
tirely escaped public attention, and the
writing must remain buried in a dusty
pigeonhole. The books which have
given her notoriety have been, without
exception. abnormal and decadent.
They have had about them the pun
gency of absinthe and opium and the
atmosphere of moral degeneracy. They
have softened sin and toned down vice
with specious philosophy that cannot
be other than dangerous to persons of
weak minds and susceptible imagina-
tons. Miss Corelli has seemed to pom
der the mightiest problems IN a mas
terly manner, and she has moralized in
such a way as to make the weak
among her readers take her and her
conclusions seriously. If books were
beverages, hers would be the "green
Demon" absinthe, of the collection.
There has been much condemnation
of such authors as Balzac. Gautier,
Ouida and the condemnation may have
been merited; but it does not appear
that the writings of these authors
have led to crime. Corelli revels in the
grewsome-in coffins corpses, suicides,
murders, madness, guilty love-and
does it in such manner as to impel to-
wards rather than away from those
horrid things. Her books are not
wholesome

THE FACTORY MATTER.

The acceptance of the Guckenheimer
building for the cigar factory by the
subscribers to the factory fund seems
to be entirely satisfactory to all the
parties directly interested in that en-
terprise. The building is admirably
adapted for the purpose for which it
Is wanted. and it will require but a
week or two to equip it with every
thing necessary to meet the needs of
the factory operatives. No doubt Mr..
Guckenheimer will begin to vacate it at
once, so that before the end of this
year the factory will be in operation,
and have in its employment several
hundred operatives.
OF course the number of operatives
can be taught the duties required of
them. The building is large enough to
accommodate $500 or 5000 operatives,
and doubtless that number will be en-
ployed in the factory before the expir-
alton of a year.
For several reasons 1t is better for
the factory to be on Bay street than in
new part OF the city where 1t would
encourage the building up of a sep
arate community, thus depriving many
of the subscribers to the factory fund
Of much of the benefit they will derive
from it in the location that has been
agreed upon.
The subscribers now get off by the
payment of As per cent. of their sub
scriptions. A new building, together
with insurance and taxes, might have
required great deal more than the
amount of the subscriptions, and might
not have been ready for occupation in
side of a year. All things considered,
therefore. the settlement that has been
made of the factory matter is happy
one,

sosrE INTERESTING STATEMENTS,

In a speech which Mr.. Root. Secre-
tary Of War, delivered in New York
city last Thursday night. there are
some statements which are very inter
esting and instructive, and have d spe-
cial significance at this time when
there is so much talk of strikes and
the earnings of wage-workers.
Mr. Root makes comparisons between
1850 and 1902 of the earnings of capital.
the wages paid wage-workers, the rates
of interest, the cost of living and 9th
er matters of like character. He states
that in 1902 the earnings of capital are
only about one-third what they were
in 1850, that the rate of interest is
about one-half-the rate in 1902 being
3 to 4 per cent. while in 1850 it was
from to S per cent.
He makes the rather startling state
ment that wages in 1902 are just about
double what they were in 1850, while
the cost of living in 1902 is much less
than it was in 1850. OF course, in max
ing this statement about wages Mr.
Root does not go into details-that is.
he does not take up each separate trade
and occupation. He simply Jumps the
number of wage-workers and the
amount they receive in 1902 and re-
ceived in 1850. He goes into details,
however, in speaking of the cost of
living, showing what meat bread, su-
gar and all of the various articles of
food and clothing cost in each of the
years mentioned. According to his
statements workmen have no reason to
complain-that is, workmen as a body
The capitalists are the ones who have
not profited by the changes which have
taken place in the half century that
MIR. Root deals with in his speech.
Another thing he states will cause
surprise 1t is that the plain people
are much better off in this year of
1902 than they were half a century ago
They have more property and the per-
eentage of them who have a comfort
able share of this worlds goods is
greater-much greater Assuming that
this statement is correct the campaign
orators who assert that the rich are
becoming richer and the poor poorer
ought to be called on for facts when
again they make the assertion.
OF course the fact must be taken in
to account that Mr.. Roots speech was
made on the eve of an election. and it's
purpose undoubtedly was to defend the
Republican party against the charge
that it is the friend of great combina-
tions of capital. Still. if the state
ments are true they are very import
ant

MOLINEUX AS A WITNESS.

The different views taken of the tes-
timony given by Roland B. Molineux.
the defendant in the celebrated murder
case now on trial in New York city.
are very interesting His counsel and
friends think he acquitted himself ad-
mirably, and that he helped his case
greatly because the prosecuting attor-
ney, Mr.. Osborne, failed to trip him up
or to force him to make damaging adj
missions.
1t is true he told a STRAIGHTFORWARD
story, story that had all the marks
of truth. He did not hesitate in an
swering the searching questions put to
him by Mr.. Osborne, and at no time
was he embarrassed or placed in po-
sition that apparently called for eva
sion.
When he left the witness stand he
was complimented by his lawyers and
friends on the success with which he
passed through the trying ordeal and
predictions. based upon his testimony,
were freely made that he would be
promptly acquitted when the case was
given to the jury.
On the other hand Mr.. Osborne says
that he got out of Mr. Molineux all he
expected to get and that while the ac-
cused made a good witness for himself
he confirmed practically most of the
evidence the state had produced to
make out it's case.
1t seems remarkable that such oppo-
site views of the testimony of a wit
ness should be taken; and there does
not seem to be any doubt that Moli-
neaux's friends and Mr.. Osborne were
both sincere in their comments. If both
sides are satisfied Molineux is to be
congratulated on his success in pleas
ing those friendly and those opposed to
him. He seems to be satisfied that 1t is
only a question of few days before
he will be released from custody. There
does not seem to be any probability of
another verdict of guilty, but there
may be a disagreement of the jury.

MFR Carnegies Greatest pride

Although Mr.. Andrew Carnegie Is
proud of his new title, Ill. D." he is
prouder of what he describes as his
best title of nobility handful
which he has just had framed, saws the
London Chronicle. He received this
patent the other day from an old ladv
IN Dunfermline. 1t is an appeal for
$500 made in the Chartist DAYS to de-
fend his uncle from a charge of con-
spiracy in holding a meeting that had
been dispersed by the sheriff. Mr.. Car
negie had another uncle who was a
strong political agitator, and of these
two and a republican grandfather the
millionaire has been telling stories. He
remembers the cavalry paradine the
streets of Dunfermline to oueu riots
When the mob surrounded the town
house where the imprisoned uncle was
held he was asked by the provost TO
appear at an upper window. This he
did at o'clock in the morning and
delivered soothing speech. "All NV
friends" he said, will fold their arms
NOW, walk peaceable to your homes
maintain the peace and obey the laws. .
Many noble family, Mr.. Carnegie
thinks, might be pushed to produce so
good title to their peerage. 1t is NOT
a bad foundation that one of our fam
lily was in Jail for defending the right
of public meeting >"
