That all the romance and adventure
has not gone out of New England sea-
faring. is easily demonstrated by Mr..
Connolly In this volume OF roaring good
stories about the Gloucester fisherman.
AS studies. these breezy tales have the
not common merit OF treating their sub.
jects intimately without patroniz'ng
them. They are capitally told and they
put you right into the life they tell about
guished observer who lifts the curtain
to excite your interest. your mirth and
your sympathy, as for some queer out OF
the way place and some unusual people
who are worth -yea- -exa#iHatieH,-H He
succeeds not only in putting the reader
right in among the fishermen but In MAX
ing him a sharer In their doings and in
terests. For the time being. the spirit OF
the Gloucester sailor Is impaired to your
own I'm all it's salty and nshy vigor
There are half dozen OF these stories
and they are the most vigorous kind OF
tales OF most vigorous kind OF folk
The illustrations capitally reproduce the
spirit OF them and are as full OF life and
dash az the letter press. The story OF
the Chase Overnight" as for the first
time completely told when couple OF
sailors, one OF whom was on each fish,
erboat In the famous race from the Banks
TO Boston, accidentally meet and relate
their experiences on the respective rivals,
takes you right of your feet and makes
you wish you had been on the Lucy

their determined shippers were running
them right across the mysterious shoal,
so that the Lucy's skipper. at least.
thought sure he was going ashore sor
beating up the Narrows with the chances
all In favor OF bringing up there instead
OF getting through. Clancy the sailor who
went after forbidden herring and ran
away with the collector OF the port, and
Billy Simms and their mates are types
that are worth knowing. They are bully
chaps. And how the Echo o. the Morn
escaped a British cruiser Is a story that
ought 10 be IN history along with the es-
capades of the old time American priva-
teers.

Dicky Donovan Is type OF the young
English soldier-statesman adventurer
that is on the spot extending England's
empire. There is q fine picture OF him in
colors in this book-in his uniform OF the
Egyptian army. lean. handsome. red
headed scrappy looking chap casting his
shadow sharp on the sands along by the
Niie, as we take It. He Is n chief figure
in this batch OF fifteen capital stories
about Anglo-Egyptian life. There are
other interesting folks I'm the stories.
Egyptians and English. men and women
OF high and low degree and no degree al
all. But Donovan pervades all of them
He Is a figure OF romance that has
much OF reality about him and. through
HIS eyes. the reader learns lot OF the
interesting things that happen in the pro-
cess OF empire building. Mr.. Parker is
the novelist OF the British empire rather
than OF England, or any single corner H.
His tales are growing TO comprehend tho
whole imperial domain and his work
must contribute greatly TO give the aver
age English an intelligent understand
OF the domain that his king rules over,
the assorted people and the life that goes
on In the variegated spots where the
flags flies. Canada and Australia have
enjoyed notably Illuminating treatment
from Mr.. Parker's pen and these Egyp-
tian tales are equally vigorous alongside
his best work and entertaining. As for

venturous fiction. And the stories about

The New York Awakening.

There will be nothing rev in the appear
ance of some Of the leading New York isw-
yers and capitalists seated as delegates t.
the coming democratic state convention
alongside OF some of the toughest men in
Tammany Hall. The arrangement attracts
attention now because of recent political
history. which has kept SO many prominen.
New York democrats in the background
But the Belmonts of a former day mixed
freely with the Deverys in conventions and
during campaigns. and il was in that way

the one side Tammany has been benefited by

side the gentleman has been benefited nv an

1t is to be regretted that the leading dem

In the hope of influencing good nominations

inducements for work In private station Ii

Obedience to Law.

Violence in the coal region. well as
violence in any other region, should be
promptly and sternly suppressed. There is
no reason for IT. and there is no reason in
1t Everybo loses BY violence and no one
gains by IT. The mine owner loses because
his property Is destroyed or endangered
and because men who would work for him
are deferred He loses both N capital and
profits. The public loses because production
is the longer suspended; because bad ex-
ample Is set and because property is men
aced or destroyed, and 1t Is an economic
axiom that the wanton destruction of prop
erty Is a loss to the whole of society. Most
important OF ALL the mine worker loses by
violence. The men who have been chosen
by these workers as their representatives
have said that their fight must be won
peaceebly or lost. By violence the miners
lose public confidence and public sympathy,
and IL Is this moral support which more
than any other force has won strikes for
labor. reduced the hours of work and in
creased the pay of workmen. Public opin-
Ion is the greatest power In republic.
Men in quitting work within their
rights; by threatening other men who would
work and intmidating them that they
dare not work. they exceed their rights. A
man because ne belongs TO q LABOR uTlOH
or to any other human association must
not be above the law. He who would defy
the law must feel its arm.
But the law should bear equally upon all
men. Equality before the law Is the bull
wark of liberties. The violation of K
by no man should be winked at because
that man may have potter manners or an
easier position in life. When the strike is
ha bo
right OF railroads in Pennsylvania under
their charters to hold and operate coal
mines. and to define the meaning if it
means anything, Of thu following section in
the constitution Of the state of Pennsyl-
'yana:
Sec. ). No Incorporated company doing
business of a common carrier shall directly
or indirectly prosecute or engage in mining
or manufacturing articles for transportation
over its works: shall such company
directly or indirectly engage In any other
business than that of common carriers, or
hold or acquire lands, freehold or leasehold,
directly or indirectly, except as shall be
necessary for carrying on its business; but
any mining or manufacturing company may
carry the product of its mines and manu-
factories on its railroads or canals not ex-
ceeding fifty miles"
Another matter which could be taken up
with public profit when peace returns Is
the question of the incorporation of labor
unions If unions were legally responsible
FOR failure to perform contracts entered into
by them through their officers. many of the
arguments which employers present as rea-
son for refusal to negotiate with unions
would fall. Then. it is scarcely fair for a
company of men without legal responsibility
TO insist that interpretations shall make
contracts with them. when the latter could
have no remedy at law should the former

The trade In soft coal is booming in
Washington, and 1t is possible that after
becoming acquainted with the faults and
merits OF this coal many citizens may never
resume the use of anthracite Experts af-
firm that with careful use dense black
smoke need not result. 1t is pointed out
that there are many neat towns and clean
cities in western Maryland, West Virginia
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois where bltumin-
Gus coal is used for domestic purposes
There partisans of soft coal who are
not willing to concede the superiority of
hard coal, though some of the charges
made against bitumnous coal are very Sc
rious. 1t is said that the principal difficult
ties to be met with in the use of soft coal
are that it Is dirty to handle. That 1t burns
out quicker, compelling more attention to
the furnace and more frequent rebuilding
of fires, and that 1t will deposit a great
deal Of SCOT In the furnace and chimney.

Nurse Alice Kemmer.

General Chaffee reports to the War De-
partment the following instance of heroic
devotion to duty:
Nurse Alice Kemmer, army nurse corps,
having been granted leave of absence, vol
unfairly relinquished the same and took
upon herself the care Of two smallpox pa
tents in an isolated hospital connected with
the first reserve hospital in this city. One
OF the patients was the wife OF an officer,
the other an enlisted man. Miss kemmer
had never had the disease. Nevertheless.
she fearlessly entered upon her self-imposed
task. and through the months of April and
May. 1902 devoted herself to the care of
the patients, living in the room with the
officers wife. the enlisted man being in an
adjoining room. With never more than two
hours sleep at a time in intensely hot
weather. the nurse attended her patients
day and night and saved their lives"
Here was spirit deserving to rank with
that of the Tennessee regiment in the Phil
ippines which attracted much attention
when displayed The men, II will be re-
called, after hard service in the archipelago
were all on transport bound for home, and
the day for sailing was at hand. Suddenly
things took a turn on shore unfavorable for
the American troops remaining behind. ana
reinforcements seemed necessary. When the
news was received on board the ship the
Tennesseeans at once volunteered to ex-
tend their stay, and did debark and help
save the day 1t was fine exhibition of
solderly patriotism. and when President
Mckinley shortly afterwards. visited Ten
nessee he made public acknowledgment In
one OF his speeches to the people of the
state for an act which everybody was prais-
ing.
In all that goes to make up unselfish
courage the act of this woman, hitherto OBJ
scure, measures fully up to that of the men
of Tennessee. The army nurse. it is true
like the soldier. is trained to the discharge
of duty becomes familiar with sickness and
pain and death. and is schooled in grim
emergencies Yet this woman met IN
usual test. After a long siege of work her
day of rest had arrived. We may easily
imagine her full of plans for a vacation with
friends, for restoring her depleted energies
and inviting her soul" But she does not
hesitate when duty calls the other way.
Putting her program of leisure and pleas
ure behind her, she responds to needs which
isolate her for time from general compan-
ionship. and imprison her as the sole hope
and help of two people. probably strangers
to her. afflicted with the most loathsome of
diseases.
1t Is good to hear that her sacrifice was
rewarded. and In the way most comforting
probably to so rare a spirit She saved the
two lives for which she had risked her own.
Still, while public notice or other reward
had no part in inspiring her splendid con-
duct her name is entitled to the prominence
which General Chaffee has given it. and de-
servedly goes permanently on the country's
roll of honor.
