Kenmore oooPER's GREAT WORK

Types of Fiction.

He Created Three Dis tinct and Notable
Types of Fiction.
Few American rOmancers have writ
ten SO many books as James Fenimore
Cooper: none achieved, like him, the
honor Of having created three distinct
and notable types of fiction. 1t is not
too much to say that Cooper's novel,
"The Pilot" set the fashion for all
sea stories that followed it; his "Leath-
e~rstocking" tales were the ~progenitors
Of the hundreds Of romantic tales OF
lie and adventure among the Indians,
and his Spy" was the first great novel
with scenes and characters OF the Rev.
dictionary war. 1t must be admitted,
also, that no other author of high re-
pute wrote books so widely different
in merit and interest; some of his
known, by name, even to his heartiest
admirers, yet to-day. more than half
a century after his death, some of his
books are in steady demand at all the
libraries in the land, and several pub
find profit in issuing new edi-
lions for individual purchasers. No
other American novelist's works have
been SO heartily received in Europe as
were Cooper's OF have been as highly
praised by foreign Of high
reputation. Commentator as high as
was lavlshed upon some Of Cooper's
stories by Sir Walter Scott, Miss Edge
worth. Balzac and the elder Dumas
would astonish and delight the great
est American novelist to-day, who
ever he may be. Not only were his
greater books translated into most
of Europe. but at least one
OF them, THE Spy" is still read in
Arabic and Persian.-John Habberton

Kansas Democratic Convention WrestI-
ing With the Problem

Wichita, Kan, May 23.-The demo-
cratic state committee met here yester-
day and had a lively session. the prin-
cipal issues being on the resubmission
of the prohibitory law and the problem
of cooperation with the populists in
some way to evade the anti-fusion law.
After a hard fight In the convention
between an overwhelming majority
and an active and aggressive minor
ity, a resolution was passed declaring
for the resubRission Of the prohibitory
law to another vote of the people.
A hard hight was made for the adj
journment of the convention until June
"a for the purpose of allowing the pop
ulists to cooperate in naming candi-
dates. but opposition to adjournment
won.
At a late hour last night the con-
vention adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock
this morning, without nominating a
ticket.

London. May 23.--That conferences

the war Office has vouchsafed up to

that a definite announcement of the
