NEWS AND VIEWS
OF THE BOOK WORLD
Death of George Douglas Brown, Author of 1.-THE
House With the Green Shutters Publishers At
tempS to Secure Books from Great MEMS It True
That "He Travels Faster Who Travels AlOne?"


The news that George Douglass
George Douglass" wrote 1.-THE House
With the Green Shutters" died sud
denly on the 2Sth ult., came as
great shock to his American admirers.
OF these there were assuredly very
many. The grim story of Scotch life
made a deep impression on every one
who read it, and, though it was the
first book by the author, he was hailed
as the coming Balzac of his people.
Literally, Mr.. Brown became famous
in day. The book fell almost still
born from the press in both England
and America. Then one of the editors
of the London Times got hold of
copy and shortly there appeared re-
view of the story which made every
one wonder who this young writer was
that had come down from the North
to conquer literary England? In this
country the book was on sale for
several months before the public be-
gan to talk of it; then, suddenly, in
terest was awakened and edition after
edition was sold by the publishers.
George Douglass Brown was SO years
old at his death. He had been hard
working journalist in London ever
since leaving Oxford, but when his
first book made the success 1t did, he
retired from the daily grind. He took
a house at Halsemere, where Tyndall
lived and where Grant Allen and CO.
nan Doyle live now. Everything was
going well for the young man; he had
been in a jubilant state for the pre-
vious year. He had planned a trip on
the Continent, a tramp through Scot
land and several other pleasure trips,
but the fame of his book actually
brought so many visitors to his home
that he could not get away Then he
decided that he had lost too much time
and he went to work hard on his Sec
ond story this story was to have been
finished this fall. Meantime he had
become engaged and was to have been
married early. this fall. after which
event he had planned wedding jour
ney TO Italy.
AS a young man, the author was
curiously indifferent to study at one
time and most laborious at books at
another. When he went to school at
Glasgow he neglected his studies for
two years, but in the last year there
he worked hard and succeeded in vim
ming scholarships worth altogether
some $4,000. These funds enabled him
10 go to oxford. where he obtained
degree. He had ideas Of his own as

that reading did not count for much.

NO sABEE PING-PoNG.
Cinnamon Thought They Were Be-
ing Guyed.

From the New York Herald.
Quin Sang and Peter Tong heard
ping-pong mentioned on the Sound
steamer William G. Payne yesterday,
and thought it was an insult. James
Donohue was near the Cinnamon at
the time, and in the excitement which
followed became involved in fight
with Quing Sang, the result being that
when the boat reached her pier yes
terday morning both were arrested,
charged with assault.
The Cinnamon and Donohue live in
Bridgeport. The Orientals were COM
ing to New York on business and Don
ohue, with his wife and two pretty
daughters, was on a pleasure trip.
According to the story the Donohues
and their friends tell, they were quiet
ly viewing the beauties of the Sound
when the conversation of some young
people sitting near them CHANGED to
turn to ping-pong. The two Cinnamon
who were near the Donohues. evident
ly believed the ping-pong talk was lev
elled at them. They became quite ex-
cited and finally hunted up an officer
of the boat and complained. The off,
Ger found that the complaint was I'M
founded and did his best to calm the
ruffied feelings of the Celestials. For
time quiet reigned and the officer
walked away to another part of the
boat.
A few minutes after the ping-pong
incident Sang and Tong were leaning
over a rail at the side of the boat,
looking down into the gurgling waters,
when some mischievous person gave
Sang slap on the back. 1t CHANGED
that Mr.. Donohue was rising at the
moment from his seat, and Sang
promptly concluded that he had adj
ministered the slap. The Chinaman
had an umbrella in his hands, and with
1t he gave Mr.. Dopohue a prod in the
stomach. A scene of wild excitement
followed, there being a great many
women about who screamed and made
all possible haste to get out of the zone
of trouble.
Donohue sprang at Sang and gave
the Chinaman blow on the right ear
that knocked him down and split open
his ear. Sang struggled to his feet
but no sooner was he up than Dono-
hue hit him on the nose and again
knocked him down.
When the boat reached her dock
Capt Wetherwax caused Policeman
Mccormick to- be summoned. China
man and Irishman made counter
charges of assault against each other.
so Mccormick was obliged to lock them
both up.
When Sang and Donohue were ar
raigned in the Yorkville court Magis-
trate Mayo refused to entertain any
complaint against the Chinaman, but
directed that formal complaint be made
against Donohue, who declared he was
not to blame for the trouble. He was
however, held in $500 for trial. A
friend furnished the bail and he was
released.

boys. His two brothers have dis
tinguished themselves. Herbert Stead
is a minister of the Congregational
Church, while John Edward Stead is
a well known analytical chemist.
Mr.. Stead was only two years at a
boarding school in his life. His father
educated his children at home, teach
ing them Latin as soon as they could
read At the age of years Stead had
a fair knowledge of the elements of
Latin.
Stead began to earn his living as an
errand boy in an office in Newcastle.
He held this position for some years,
but began contributing before he was
20 to a paper called the Northern
Echo. The proprietor of this paper,
]. Hyslop Bell, discovered" Stead,
called on him and offered him the ed
itorship of the paper. He was then %
years old.
At the age of % Stead married
Miss Emma Wilson of Houdon-on-
Tyne, his native place.
In 1880, at the age OF So, Stead was
offered the associate editorship of the
Pail Mall Gazette, the chief editor
then being John Morley. When Nor
ley left the Pail Mall, Stead became
editor-in- chief. twas then that Stead
put new life into English journalism.
What Carlyle Thought of Him.
He introduced the interview. In the
course of his work on these lines, he
obtained some famous interviews for
his paper, notably, an Interview with
the Car of Russia, Alexander III; the
King of the Belgians, Gordon and
others.
Stead exerted a very powerful infu-
ence on political thought, giving rise
to "Steadism," a term that implied in
dependence and the courage of ones
convictions.
Thomas Carlyle once said of Stead:
Tell that good man, Stead, to get on
with his work" Stead, through the
press, became one of the most potent
influences of the day. His wonderful
memory enabled him to write, with
out shorthand notes, interviews three
or four columns in length; and he had
such a faculty for remembering what
prominent politicians said at one time,
and contrasting it with subsequent ut
terances, that John Morley said Stead
was the most dangerous man in poll
tics.
Mr.. Stead's family consists of a wife.
four sons and two daughters. Two Of
his sons married American women,
William Stead marrying a Miss Royce
of Chicago, and Alfred, Miss Hussy
of Indianapolis.
Mr.. Stead has no special form of
amusement or exercise. lie mas never
been shooting and boasts of never
having wantonly killed living thing.
He is very fond of the sea, and at his
summer home, Hayling Island, enjoys
boating and bathing.
Mr.. Stead thinks both tobacco and
alcohol dangerous and that we should
be better without them. He works
almost necessarily, not infrequently
sleeping in his office when working
late at night. He tells me he has three
styles of writing: What he dictates
to men, the most ordinary class of
stuff: what he dictates to women, of
higher grade. and what he has to write
with his own pen-his best work.
Mr. Stead is a firm believer in Spirit
ualism, and has contributed largely TO
the literature on that subject.
His favorite author is James Rus
sell Lowell; his favorite historical
character. oliver Cromwell.

With the Green Shutters" was written
first as novelette,, 10000 words long.
The publisher to whom it was first
submitted said he would take it if the
author would cut it down to a short
story of four or five thousand words
The young man was much angered at
the proposition, and, instead of follow
ing the publishers suggestion he
heightened the story to it's present pro-
portions.
Physically, Mr.. Brown was a giant,
so far as strength of constitution and
vitality were concerned. An American
friend who dined with him no longer
than three weeks ago in London e.
ported him the very picture of health.
Up to the present writing no details
as to the manner of his death have
come to hand, nor is there any infor-
nation to be had regarding the amount
of work he had done on his second
novel. 1t is not likely. however, that
he had written enough of the story
to justify it's completion by another
writer, so that it is probable that his
literary fame must rest entirely on
1.-THE House With the Green Shutters
Sir Gilbert Parker has gone to con-
siderable trouble to deny any knowl-
edge of a supposed original to his
hero, Charley Steele, in 1.-The Right
of Way" 1t seems that some Chicag go
newspaper man discovered a Mr.. Can't
wele, whose real experience corre-
sponded so closely to those attributed
to the young Canadian lawyer in Sir
Gilbert Parker's love story, that he
jumped at the conclusion that the au-
thor must have drawn his character
from real life. The author. however
writes that he never knew Cantwele
never saw him and never heard of him
until the newspaper story of the iden
tity appeared.
The anxiety Of publishers to secure
books by men in the public eve is very
often amusing in its results. A case
in point was noted on the arrival OF
the Boer generals in England. Several
publishers were at the pier the par
ticular desire of each being to secure
the forthcoming story by Gen. De Wet
on the Boer side of the war in South
Africa. Gen. De Wet, however, was not
so anxious to make a contract and the
publishers were not only successfully
repulsed, hut also routed as we'll Fail
ing in their attempt to secure the rem
iniscences OF De Wet they fell upon
Gen. De la Rey. but he executed
flank movement and succeeded in max
ing his English visit without being
persuaded 10 write a book.
The scramble for public men is prob
able just as strenuous in this country.
The Boer generals are likely to be met
by a delegation OF publishers when
they land ia New York. Ia some cases

In the days when Kipling was a
bachelor, he wrote line which has
served as a slogan for many who
argue that greatness and genius is
more common among the unyoked than
the yoked. HE travels fastest who
travels alone" wrote Kipling, but that,
it must be remembered, was before he
was married. Not long ago young
friend of the authors was married and
Kipling, in a letter of congratulation,
wrote, II wish you as much happiness
in your married life as has come to me
in mine. 1 certainly cannot wish you
anything more or better than that
Now it may be argued by these same
opponents of the unmarried theory
that happiness is one thing and speed
in travel another, but the fact stands
that a great deal of Kipling's best
work has been done since his mar
riage. Most of the Jungle Tales were
written when the author lived in a lit
tie one-story house near BrattleboEo,
before he had recouped his small for
tune, lost through the failure of
bank, and had built Naulahka.
Bachelors are indeed very much to
the fore now. Mr.. Balfour, the pres
ent premier of England and an author
of renoWn, is a distinguished example

There is anther side to the case, how

great representatives of FIVE modern
