Too Gorgeous books.

The author of elizabeth and Her

ing Of Books in the Century, says:
Gifts of books addressed solely to
the spirit should never be editions de
luxe. OF what use is a book to me,
however much I may want to read it,
if it Isl so gorgeous that it must not be
taken anywhere where rain might fall
on it, or where it might get muddy. or
where a needless gnat, caught by the
quick turning Of leaf, might leave Its
legs in the pages, angering the owner
Of the defiled book, who does not want
its, legs. almost as much as it Is itself
angered by having to go on being a
gnat without them? | can no more

fl V6ru Big Decline
In the Copper Stocks

EBOSTON, Mass Nov 19-What came
near bordering on a panic started to-
day in the local market and there was
a general unloading of copper stocks in
the face of many rumors, one of which,
to the effect that Thomas w. Lawson
was in difficulties, was promptly denied
by the operator.
Copper stock prices melted by points,
with Amalgamated Copper and Copper
Range setting the pace for the whole
lat. Both stocks threatened so. Calu-
met. the bulwark of the copper shares
fell to q new low record for recent years

Similar losses were recorded through
out the copper list. Banking officials
generally say that local institutions are
in very strong shape and that the closing

STEAMBOATS, RAGING FLOOD,
Span Of Southern Railway Bridge at Riyerton
Swept Away.
Especial Dispatch to The Times


+ FRONT ROYAL, VA, March 1.-The
great rain storms in the Valley during the
last few days have swelled the Shenan-
doah River to a raging f1ocd. Tho river
has been very high for. several days. but
a sudden rise of eight feet this morning
brought the water up to the twenty-eight-
foot mark.
Very hard winds have also prevailed.
The north span Of the Southern Railway
bridge over the South Shenandoah Riv-
er one mile south Of this place, at River
ton, is down and the river extends from
bluff to bluff, and covers most Of the
fertile bottom. One approach to the fine
county bridge, at Riverton, is cut off.
For a mile south Of the Norfolk and West
ern depot the track of that railway is
submerged, and since last night no trains
north and south have passed this place.
On the Southern Railway there is connec-
ton with Washington. but none went to
5Harrisonburg. The waters are at this
writing slowly abating, and it is hoped
complete railroad connections will be
made in a few days.
While this rise Of twenty-eight feet is
great, it does not approach the forty-foot
flood of 1870, which occurred September
of that year, damaging thousands OF
property and causing great loss of life.

culabe Miles of track in all directions
is washed away. The Notwithstanding
Division is almost completely submerged
by water and bridges are gone. Almost
the entire Murphy Division Is also I'M
der1nined and no trains will be run until
next week.
At Marshall the river rose over the
thirteen-foot wall and completely flooded
the village. causing great destruction to
property. The greatest apprehension pre-
vailed for fear the entire village would
lie swept away. Live stock and buildings
were carried down by the tide Railway
cars were washed away and whole sec
tons OF track carried off.
The people of the village were panic
stricken for fear all wound be lost. Among
tn: losses sustained was United states
Senator Pritchard's valuable library. y
reward of one thousand dollars was Of
fered to have the books saved. but of no
avail. Almost all buildings at Marshall
were undermined by the water and num-
bers swept away. The water was higher
than ever before known.
Considerable damage was done the VAN
de,tilt farms, part of truck houses and
heating plant being swept away.
