NEWS AND VIEWS
OF THE BOOK WORLD
Posthumous Novel by Frank R: Sockton-Book Booming
by the President-Hutchns Hapgoods THE
Spirit Of the Ghetto
By HERBERT BREWSTER.

1t is not generally known that Mr..
Frank R. Stockton had just COM
pleted a long novel at the time of his
death last spring. THE Captains Toll
Gate" is the title which he had select
ed for the story and it is likely that
1t will be brought out under this name.
At the present time Mrs Stockton, who
is living quietly at her home in Charles
town, West Virginia, is making ar
rangement for the serial publication
of the story and it's publication in book
form may not be expected before next
fall. The manuscript is said to be
more like the work of Stockton in
his earlier days than that of recent
years and to be altogether a very
pleasing tale.
Among the books Of the present sea-
son, there are two notable posthumous
works by well known writers of fic-
ton: WANTED. a Chaperon", by Paul
L. Ford, and mo Other Way by
Sir Walter Besant. Both of these
stories had been completed some time
before their authors died, a fact which
shows the curious relation which the
author bears to his public. Someone
once remarked to Henry Wallace
Phillips that Red Saunders, one OF
his creations. seemed to be a typical
character of the West as it was a
few years ago.
"Well, he ought to be-" replied Mr..
Phillips. ''I gathered up my Western
experience and atmosphere all the way
from eight to fifteen years ago. 1t is
two years since I wrote the stories
about Red, and 1 have worked on a
number of others since then. An author
is always a long way behind the pub
Usher and the publisher often takes
his time in getting the products of
genius out before the public. We never
know quite where we are with the
latter class"

sity, who has recently returned from a

lished within a few days.

Every politician, of course, is look
ing forward to a renewal of the fight
in Congress for Cuban reciprocity and
over sugar this fall. In the van of the
battle will be a small, intensely active,
bullet-headed (and APPARENTLY bullet
PROOF young man who halls from San
to Domingo, Cuba, and the Borough
Of Brooklyn. His name is w. L. Bass.
and when he gets excited he likes to
rise upon his tip-toes, slap his exceed
ingly well-developed chest and call
himself Little Willie" That fits him
physically, but not in any other way.
Bass was born in Cuba. where his
father was the superintendent of a
great sugar estate. The elder Bass
was also an inventor, and his son fol-
lowed in his footsteps so far as that
went. He also became the proprietor
of sugar estate in Cuba and bigger
one in Santo Domingo.
When Bass found ii necessary to dis
charge workman in Santo Domingo
he used to also find it necessary to
make a walking arsenal of himself. At
one time he fortified himself at the top
of great pile of crushed sugar cane
and stayed here for several nights and
days with about 1000 rounds of ammu-
milton, two or three rifles and few
knives to keep the discharged mans
sympathizers from burning down his
plantation and killing him.
Bass became the leader of the con-
sentative and law-abiding element of
the island, and this was all right for a
while. but presently the other element
got into power, and about midnight
one night he received the quiet and
unpleasant hint that the new presi-
dent proposed to arrest him the rAxt
morning He was cOnVerSant with
the curious and uncomfortable politi-
cial methods there in vogue, and he
knew that to be arrested meant to be
shot. So to put 1t in his own express
sive language THAT night this little
Bass swan away"
He became an exile, but he did not
lose his influence with the better class
of the white residents of the Republic.
He came up to the States, leaving his
Santo Domingo plantation to take
care of it's itself, shutting down his
Cuban plantation and devoting all his
time to his machine works in Brook
lyn until the campaign for a reduction
in the tariff on Cuban refined sugars
began in Congress last winter.
Mr.. Bass is entirely satisfied with
the tariff on Cuban unrefined sugars.
but he claims that what is known as
the color restriction is all wrong.
He fought for it's exclusion from the
law. He fought single handed, and
his only hope of winning his point was
in teaching the technicalities of the
sugar business to all the members of
Congress. He prepared, had printed
and sent out at least one pamphlet
day to every member of both houses
for pretty nearly three months. He
hired a cartoonist and had cartoons.

Bottle. Long ocean voyage.

The journey Of a bottle from Central
Illinois to the Pacific Ocean has just
been announced through the receipt of
a letter by Walter Roeder of Bloom
ington, ILL.,, from Jesse Wilson of San
ia Monica, CAL, saying he had found,
on the coast of California, a bottle
which contained a letter written by
Roeder. The letter was written on
Jan. 81, 1900. After being placed in
the bottle the receptacle was cast into
the waters OF the Mackinaw river, ten
miles west of Bloomington. The bot
tie must have followed the river until
the confluence with the Illinois was
reached, and thence floated to the Mis-
sissippi, and through the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Atlantic ocean. Ocean cur
rents are supposed to have carried the
bottle around Cape Horn and thence
up the Pacific coast.
