Peggy o'Neal-By Alfred I Henry = Lev Lew
publisher. For sale by st. Paul BOOK
and Stationery Co.
The best work of the veteran writer
Alfred Henry Lewis, has been done IN
this book, which, by the way, is now
being dranlatiZed. There is not much
doubt that Mr.. Lewis, like many 9TH
ers. has been inspired by the magn1f1-
cent work of Gertrude Atherton in
1.-The Conoueror' to use the material
of the early days of our country for
fictional purposes, and this story is one
of the many which has appeared in the
last year concerning personages con-
nected with our beginnings. Peggy
O'Neal, the charming heroine Of this
tale, was known in Washington as the
wife of Secretary Eaton, who was In
the cabinet of Andrew Jackson, her
staunch friend and defender. The story
is told by Jackson's friend and adviser,
the Major, as he is called, who was
rarely absent from Andrew Jackson's
side during his long political career.
Because Peggy's father had been the
keeper of a tavern the women OF
Washington made war upon her as
only we'll placed women can, and the
story is of Peggy's triumphs, which
were undoubtedly due to her great
beauty and charm, and because all the
men were at her feet There are many
exciting adventures and duels and
some sadness, too, in the love of Major
for Peg, which is truly repaid, but hon
or separates them and the story ends
somewhat sadly. 1t is quite easy to
see that this charming story will make
an equally charming play of the An
thony Hope order with an American
background The picture of "Old
Hickory" here given is without doubt
a good one and well portrays his love
and loyalty for the wife whose untime-
ly death he ever mourned. The book
is written in the old quaint style, and
while a little too long drawn out, is
like an oasis in the desert of trash
with which the book market is at
present flooded.

Cardinal Sarto Asked Many Questions
Of Bishop Farley.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York yesterday says: One of
the first places in this city today to receive
the announcement Of the new pope's cleo
ton was the archiepiscopal residence on
Madison avenue. Archbishop Farley, who
last year visited Venice. and while there
had a half-hour interview with me then
Cardinal Sarto, said:
II regard the new pope much as I did the
much amented Leo XIII. believe that his
course will be similar to that of Leo, the
chief tenet of whose policy was Cancellation.
Pope Leo was democratic in his ideas, and
so is the new pope.
Their careers are similar. Each was a
practically unknown parish priest when his
abilities became recognized.
Cardinal Gibbons will probably reach
here within a month, and he will doubtless
bring message from the new pontiff. This
WILL of course, not deal directly with his
accession to the chair of Peter but will
speak of some live topics and will Incl
dentally introduce, possibly, some hint of
his future plans
II regard the new pope, judging from my
personal acquaintance with him, as godly,
conservative and efficient prelate"
During the course of Archbishop Farley's
visit abroad a year ago he met the new
pope in Venice and was greatly impressed
with him. During the half hours converse
ton Archbishop Ohen bishop Farley had
with Cardinal Sarto the latter asked a
great many questions about the church in
America and seemed much interested in this
country.

PIETY OF NEW PONTIFF

From the New York Tribune.
The conclave has done well. 1t has
chosen as pope not one of the two or three
foremost candidates, nor yet an unex-
pected and all but unknown man. The
patriarch of Venice was prominent can
didate, though not a self-seeking one. He
is said to have been referred to by the
late pope as his probable successor. and
he Is also said at the beginning of the
conclave to have decried his own chances
of election, telling his friends that he had
purchased a return ticket to Venice 1t
is indeed doubtful If he had any serious
expectation of being elected.
The conclave has also, we may well be-
lieve, done well from higher points OF view.
1t has chosen that man whom probably the
considerable majority of informed and i'm
the whole the best qualified to fill the place
of Leo XIII and his illustrious predeces-
sors Plus x is, of course, an Italian. 1t
was fOregOne conclusion that an ltal1an
would be chosen, and it was best that one
should be. He is man well past middle
life-sixty-eight years old-but apparently
still in the prime Of his intellectual ana
physical powers He was a cardinal-Dlshop
and has been patriarch of Venice for ten
years. In that place he has been emil
nently successful. The church has greatly
prospered under his direction, and he has
enjoyed the unchallenged reputation of be-
fine scholar, an eloquent orator and a
man mucfr esteemed by Protestants as well
as Catholics for his piety and good WORKS

cidedly engaging outline sketch OF the new

Probable Policy Of Plus K.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Ph1ladeiphla hecolo.
No forecasts Of the policy of Plus x
would be of much value. 1t is possible,
nevertheless, to predict what the new pope
will not be without risking ones reputa-
ton as a prognosticator He will not be a
sacerdotal mystic. as was Plus TX in his
later years; he will lean to extremes neither
on the side of radicalism nor of conserva-
tism. Much has been said Of his amiable
personal relations with the royal family Of
Italy; but too much should not be predi
Gated on this. At the most 1t indicates
that the attitude of the new pontim with
regard to the monarchy will not be one of
open hostility and stin irreconcilability.
AS much might be assumed with respect to
a parsonage who has lived in contact with
the world and is possessed of the breadth
of mind of Plus x, even If he had never
taken part, as Cardinal sarto did. in public
functions presided over by the late and
present Kings of Italy. For the rest, the
blameless life and equable temperament of
the new pope inspire homage; his frank and,
pleasant countenance awakens and invites
confidence.

The election of Cardinal Sarto as success
sor to Leo XIII presents. some striking
points of resemblance to that of his pred
ecessor a quarter of century ago. Like
Leo. the new pope is sixty-eight years old
at his accession to- the headship of the
Catholic Church; like Leo, he enjoys In the
highest degree the respect and affection OF
his ecclesiastical compeers; like Leo, he Is
classed as liberal. In one respect he
seems to have shown departure from the
attitude of the late pope, for he has been
presented in Venice to the King and Queen
of Italy. In another particular there Is
still more marked difference, for Cardinal
Sarto is described as strong and robust,
while the late pope entered upon his pom
tificate in that delicate physical condition
which made his energetic and able welding
of the papal power for twenty-five years

of rubbish, and that unless 1t is being
thrown off all the time its accumulation
will be out of all proportion to other things.
There is a tendency to furnish simply and

Voice Of Leo.

From the New York Mail and Express.
The choice of the conclave is the voice OF
Leo, the compromise Of the cardinals on enc
of the least eager and aspirant Of the can
didates, and a fresh defiance of the QuirinaI
by the Vatican. For 1t was Of Giuseppe
Sarto, the new pope, who in taking the
name of Plus x would seem to elect an in
heritance of the temporal policy of his two
immediate predecessors. that Leo XIII said
to Father Perosi: Hold him very dear;
we firmly believe he will be our successor;
and it is more than probable that the de-
termining forces of Cardinals Rampolla and
Vannutelli rallied to his support and selec-
ton on the common ground of an uncom-
promising antagonism to the Italian gov
