BOOKS AND BOOK SHELVES
BY ALFRED CECIL.

I'm these days OF general education
when the poorest boy and girl is
b taught to read, it would be supposed
that every house would have it's library.
In the years that have gone every house
had a sitting room or library with
shelves holding standard works. When
night came the family surrounded the
table, each member took down his or
her favorite book, and read 1t by the
lamps soft light. But such scenes are
rare nowadays. There are few such
family groups and little interest in stand
ard works
As a matter of fact there are fewer
libraries today than there were fifty
years ago, that Is to say in proportion
to population; and good books, well
printed and we'll bound were never
cheaper. In the suburbs of large towns
where there are many detached houses
ranging in value from five to twenty
thousand dollars. in districts where there
are few attractions in the evenings to
take people out of their homes as might
be the case in cities, there is an appall-
ing scarcity of small libraries. In many
the book shelf or book case is wholly I'M
known and most frequently where it does
exist 1t is the receptacle of the current
output of the press.
To what is the decadence of the library
due?
Some persons will say that the news
paper press has filled the demand, Others
will say that the cheap monthly maya
zine and the occasional novel, supple
mented by the daily morI 2 and evening
papers affords the mental food for which
the busy man has time or inclination. If
this be true, and, doubtless, true 1t may
be- u z question naturally suggests itself,
has Rot the taste for reading deterior-
ated 1t will be conceded that the natu-
raj bent of the mind is to be up 10 date.
to read only that which is contempora-
neous publications they have no time for
anything else. 1t can be easily seen that
this can be true But this must necessa-
rily result in suppressing the desire for
knowledge of men who have contributed
their energies in making the world what
1t is and in Withholding the great evolu- 4
lions in the conditions of mankind which
have led to conditions as they exist to-
day. For instance what man has an ac-
eurate idea of the rights, privileges and
circumstances of the American of to-
day who does not know how they were
fought for and struggled for in the past.
The reading Of current literature GER
tainly fills the ambition of the man who
seeks to be 'fup-to-date," but while 1t
keeps him abreast of the times it in no
way fits his mind to go beyond them, to
see into the future. He himself regards
his Information as superficial Indeed he
often distrusts it. He recognizes 1t does
not build him up.
The reading of standard literature, of
books that have survived, belong to a
period They indicate something, they
represent something. Poetry and fiction
fit into a period; they adorn 1t. Shake
speare recalls the days of Elizabeth and
the history of her ancestors; and refec-
ton, the times in which they lived;

Steele Swift. Addison, the days Of Queen
Anne; Tennyson, Browning, Thackeray,
Dickens, the days OF Victoria. To a mind
that has been delighted by Hume. Green
and Macaulay; by Motley and Prescott
the writings of all these men become
doubly interesting. There Is a conscious
ness of being built up.
Our young people feel the feverishness
of these days, and the mere suggestion
of history excites impatience. They take
up volume, struggle with 1t and throw
it down. They do not persevere long
enough with history to acquire the taste
for it. They do not realize that after
their minds become acquainted with the
good and the bad. the weak and the
strong men of history, that they will be-
come as interesting to them as the people
of whom they read, and never see, in the
prints of today.
If our young people would read Pres
colts, Charles v, Philip the Second,
Motley's Dutch Republic and United
Netherlands, Macaulay's or Greene's
reign of Queen Elizabeth in their hfsto-
ries they would find spread before them
a delightful panorama of an interesting
period. How natural 1t would then be
to take up Prescott's Conquest of Next
co and Peru and note the Spanish infiu-
ence on the American continet. To OBJ
serve Mexican gold carried to Spain to be
coined into money with Philips portrait

Crushing a New Sect.

The Sultan of Turkey has ordered the
extirpation, by as severe methods as can
be devised, so as to teach lesson, it is
reported, of a new religious sect that
made great Roadway In Damascus The
new religion is not Jewish or Mohamme-
dan or Christian, but a sort of medley
of all three. 1t teaches that either Mo-
manned nor Christ was a divine person,
though their existence is admitted
They were simply great philosophers
who were endowed with powers to per-
form certain miracles. More interesting,
however, is that the members having
admitted some belief in Islam, are al
lowed a plurality of wives. while as
recognition of Christianity they are not
forbidden to be total abstainers from
strong drink. 1t is an enticing religion
to those who have no desire to place too
great a curb on their passions, and such
are common In the land of the Turk;
hence probably so great a number of re-
cruits that the attention of the Sultan
and the sublime porte was attracted to
IT.

States the general Run of People
worship the Almighty Dollar, but
in England they hate the Sight
of 1t.
In spite of the Fact that they
were sinfully Rich they succeeded
in Elbowing their way into several
Dinners at which it was necessary
to put Ice in the Claret in order to
keep it at the Temperature of the
Room. The Financier, in his First
Part Clothes with an Iee-Cream
Weskit, was a Picture that no
Artist could paint. His Hair would
not stay combed and he hardly
ever knew what to do with his
Hands.
Laura and the Girls could forget
that they had ever seen the Mis-
souri, River, but not with old
Ready Money. Right at the Table,
sitting opposite the Earl of Ham
mersmith or the Marquis of Stoke
on-Trent, while Laura and the
Girls would be talking about their
Country Place and trying to
smother the American Accent, the
Lobsterine would come in and tell
about something that happened to
him once when he was plawing
Corn. Then Laura and the Girls
would want to duck right under
the Table and die of Modification
then and there.
The only Reason that they put
up with him was that he seemed
to be useful when 1t came to sign
ing Checks.
In England they met a great
many Nice People. The Financier
knew that they were Nice because
they wore Dark Clothes and sell
dom Smiled.
Then the two shapely Daughters
went and married a couple OF
shelf-worn Titles.
The Financier had the Novel
Experience of putting up for a
Brace of Sons-in-Law who would
not speak TO him when any one
was around. Which served him
right, for he had no Business to
be in Trade. 1t was very careless
of him not to have inherited his
Stuff.
Still, 1t was a great Satisfaction
to him to be a Blood Relative Of
two Howling Swells who had Pedi-
grees reaching back almost as far
as their Debts.
Very often he would take them
into a Back Room and turn them
around and look them over and
recognize the cold, undeniable
Fact that they were cheap at any
Price.

HUNTINGTON Estate SUED.
Southern Pacific Stockholders Bring
Action for $1oo,ooo,ooo.

New York Special to N. .. Picayune.
The early history of the Central Pacific
Railroad company of California ives re-
called today by an action for s1OOooO,oOO
brought by Robert L. Cutting In behalf
of minority stockholders of that corpora
ton against Charles H. Tweed Isaac e.
Gates and Mrs Coils r. Huntington, the
executors Of the estate of Coils p. Hunt
ington.
The case came up today before Surro-
gate Fitzgerald on an order to show cause
why the executors of Mr.. Huntington's
estate should not make an accounting
with an inventory Of the Central Pacific
stock belonging to the estate. An order
was signed by Surrogate Fitzgerald and
the case will be argued before Surrogate
Thompson on December 2. The bill of the
minority stockholders also asks that an
accounting be made of the profits made
by Mr.. Huntington while he was trustee
of the Central Pacific, and further de-
sires an injunction restricting the execu-
tors of his estate from disposing of any
property or assets until the amount owed
to the Central Pacific Railroad company
of California has been ascertained.
Besides this suit, there is to be another,
said Mr.. Cutting, against the Southern
Pacific railroad, to enjoin it from issuing
S0O0'oOO of Z per cent collateral bonds,
the remainder of an authorized issue of
SIG, 100000, based on preferred stock of
the Central Pacific railroad company of
Utah. Then, according to Mr.. Cutting,
the process by which the Central Pacific
railroad of Utah succeeded the original
company of California is to be questioned
in a suit to be brought in California
on the ground that law passed by the
California legislature IN 1899. authorizing
such tranefsr as was made, was Illegal
The suit brought by Mr.. Cutting for
the minority stockholders is In the name
of Walter Morehead, a lawyer of Lon
don, England and charges fraud against
the late Coils p. Huntington.

would have frightened any one ex-
cept Laura and the Girls. They
closed in on him from three Direc-
lions and beat down his Defense.
When they got through with the
Living Meal Ticket he was as
meek Us an English Servant and
ready to take orders from any one.
So the CaraVansary moved away
toward the Rising Sun. At Wilkes
barre, Pennsylvania, the Heavns
opened and Great Light struck
down upon them, transforming all
except the one who happened to
carry the Letter of Credit. Laura
and the Girls suddenly forgot that
there was any Land west of Pitts
burg and they dropped their BIS
and got the Kangaroo Walk and
began to order their Food in For
eign Languages. After that all
that Father had to do was follow
along and look Pleasant and dig
every few Minutes.
The Outfit stopped at the Wal
dorf three days so as to obtain
Residence and after that they Reg
istered as being from New York.
Then they threw Papa on Boat
and took him to the Other Side,
the Place where Americans are
so Popular, If you don't care what
you say. By paying off the Mort
gage they obtained Suite at a
Hotel patronized by the Nobility
and Gentry and supported by Peo-
pie from Iowa. After which they
began to present Letters of Intro
duction and try to butt in. Laura
and the Girls felt that If only they
could eat Meal once or twice in
the gloomy Presence Of those who
had Handles to their Names, they
would be ready to fall back and
die Happy. They had some Trouble
about getting into the Tall Game
on account of their Money. In the
