Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 21.-At mid.
night Superintendent Hayes, of the

Goblin to send troops to that place.
He said that the foreigners We're on

that he feared an attack on the non

templated. The governors troops were
dispatched to that place, but the tur.
bulence of the crowd had subsidized
somewhat in the meantime, and when
the cavalry arrived on the scene
things were comparatively quiet.
An investigation Of the affair showed
that the Hungarians had been cele.
brating a christening since Sunday
and that on their yay to their homes
the men were giving vent to their en-.
thusiasm by yelling and shooting oft
revolvers. The authorities there are
of the belief, however. that an attack

The Paris Figaro thinks that the day
of frock coats is over. reasoning from
circumstance which lately occurred at
Ostend. During the international race
week King Leopold gave luncheon par
ty and invited famous English gentle
man rider, one of the Vanderbilt fam
lily, NJ. de B.. an eminent French turf
lite and the consul Of great power.
The card Of invitation bore In the cor
ner the words I'm frock coat" Now, M
de B. had no frock coat with him, so
he went downstairs and finding the man
ager, begged his frock coat for a couple
of hours. The manager readily consented,
but said, IT must explain to Nd. lie Comte
that this is not my best frock coat,
which / should readily have placed at his
disposal had I not already lent 1t to M.
Vanderbilt" The explanation Of the mat
ter doubtless is that the gentlemen did
not think they would need these gar
ments of form and ceremony on a racing
trip to Ostend.

An Epidemic Of ProdIaaIIty.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t seems to cost a great zeal to live
nowadays. Most persons notice it, es-
pecially persons who are hard put to II
to find money to pay their bills. The
statisticians report that commodities in
general use cost on an average about
10 per cent more than they did last year.
The rise in the price of meat contributes
a good deal to this advance though
breadstuffs have been high too Articles
of luxury, like good clothes and country
houses have grown dearer in proportion
than most articles of necessity because
the huge influence of money the coun-
try has sustained has made a brisk mar
ket for luxuries. Rents are higher, houses
cost more, servants get higher wages,
board is higher at resort hotels. The
living expenses Of any given family are
very much affected by the expenses of
other families of their acquaintance, and
the scale Of living of "other families
seems just now to have become incon-
veniently liberal. Prodigality is so con-
spicuously prevalent that it has become
more or less epidemic

rAvoRITE NOVELS OF NovELIsTs.
Conan Doyle Gives First Place to 1.-THE
CIoister and the Hearth"

From Tit-Bits.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is generous and
candid enough to declare that he mas
almost as much pleasure in reading
good novel as in writing one; and his
taste lies chiefly in the direction of fiction
of past generations. IF you ask me to
name the novel which In my opinion Is
without a rival he says, IT should with
out hesitation say The Cloister and the
Hearth a story which. long as 1t is, has
genius on every page Of 1t. The second
place should award to Scott, his ivan
hoe for choice; and among recent WORKS
of fiction Barrie's books have given me
most pleasure"
OF the last generation of story-write
there was perhaps no better critic than
James Payn, who divided his allegiance
equally between Scott. Dickens and
Thackeray. ITO my mind 'Ivanhoe he
once said, lis the greatest novel In our
language, and the one that will live the
longest but 1t has a formidable rival
in Vanity Fair and perhaps in David
Copperfield' and Martin Chuzzlewit.
The late Sir Walter Besant always
found fresh charm in Lorna Doone,
which he considered quite the best novel
of his time. He had also great admir-
alton for Hardy's Tess of the D'Urber-
villes" and Meredith's Richard Feverel;"
indeed, with the single exception OF
Lorna Doone," Sir Walter, like so many
excellent judges held that Meredith is
head and shoulders greater than any
other recent writer of fiction.
Mr. Meredith, however. while admiring
Sir Walter Besants books, awards the
palm among his rivals to Thomas
Hardy. many of whose books, such as
Far From the Madding Crowd and
Under the Greenwood Tree he finds I'M
faillngiy delightful. OF the giants who
are gone he holds Scott, Thackery and
Dickens unapproachable.
Mr. G. A. Henty, the author of so many
charming stories for young and old. adj
nits that among all the books Of modern
writers that have given him pleasure he
Is most indebted to Lorna Docne." Mr..
Rider Haggard, among living writer's adj
mires none more than Mr.. Stanley Wey-
man, whose Gentleman of France" he
considers a masterpiece of fiction. He is
also a great admirer of Conan Doyle. and
considers that that clever and popular
story-teller has never written anything
to equal 1.-THE White Company" a verdict
which Sir Arthur himself indorses.
Miss Marie Corelli confesses liking
for Marion Crawford's Italian stories.
She places the author of Doctor Ciau-
dius'' at the head of present-day story
telers; but her real heroes in fiction are
George Elliott and Charlotte Bronte, Scott
and Dickens.
Edna Lyall has a similar affection for
