THE SUCCESS OF MARK WI

THE SUCCESS OF MARK wYNGATE." By u.
L. Silberrad, Author of The Enchanter,.
Etc New York: Doubleday, Page & Co
Minneapolis: n. Mccarthy. :. Price, ST.
Pessimistic critics who say that the cur
rent fiction is all unmitigated trash have
evidently overlooked this fine novel by
Miss Silberrad. 1t is a fine study of hu-
man idiOsyncrasies. Mark Wyngate had5a
passion for chemistry, a, natural impulsion
to experimentation but in his poverty and
rural environage was handicapped So
welded to science, indeed. that he had no
comprehension of a woman's love and
never felt the pulsing of such passion
within his own nature. Judith Loring,
daughter Of a scientist who dies in poverty
with discoveries in fundamentally form,
comes into Marks life. Like him, natur
ally drawn to scientific study, she works
with Mark in his old welding shop, where
half the time is spent in experimentation.
When Judith discovers the secret of MAX
ing valuable dye, they form partner
ship to develop it and market it, the
financial prospect being very bright.
Mark, during the years of close, daily as
ISOLATION with this splendid girl, has never
entertained the thought Of loving her, but
he proposes marriage q business ar
rangement and Judith refuses because she
comprehends him. At the last, however,
the partnership is dissolved Judith. at
the sacrifice Of her own life saves the
chemical works from destruction by fire
and. in her last living moments, she tells
| the grieving Mark: Dearest, there was
no sacrifice. I loved YOU" She had loved
| him all those years, silently but strongly
| had refused to marry him because she
knew he could not give her heart love
nothing but friendship and business inter
est in her. Judith had a great woman's
heart. All the passion for science coulc
| not quench the hearts deep love. n

Another View.

The British members of the Ala ska COM
mission are to be Lord Alverstone for
merly Sir Richard Webster; Sir Francis
Jeune, and Chief Justice Taschereau OF
Canada. All three Of these gentlemen
have a better title to be considered emil
nent jurists than our members. Messrs.
Lodge, Root and Turner may, as lawyers,
be quite the equals of the British mem
bers, and probably are; but the fact re-
mains that none Of them is now judge
or man removed from the active strife
of politics. Senator Lodge is an indus
trious legislator, and, though a good law
scholarship, is not precisely in the class
from which to choose an international UNI
pire. and neither Secretary Root nor SEN
ator Turner comes as near to being in
this class as Senator Lodge.
But, of course, we must rememb Der tina
this boundary settlement is not to be an
affair of arbitration. Three representa-
tfves of Great Britain and three repre-
sentatives Of the United States are to
meet, investigate the matter and see if
they cannot agree as to the Interpretation
of the treaty. If such men as the Brit
ish members agree that the American
Interpretation is correct, nobody in Can
ada or England would be bold enough to
say that they were wrong. On the other
hand, if such aggressive and active Amer
leans as Root. Lodge and Turner or any
one Of them, should find that the evidence
supports the Canadian contention, the bit
ter dose would be swallowed much more
gracefully in the United States than if we
were to take it from the hands of Ameri-
cans who might be suspected of being
willing to sacrifice American interests for
the sake Of being generous to Canada.
The other day we pointed out how the
American members of the commission are
hardly now in the environment OF impair
tial judicial determination. and we are
here presenting a, different view of the
subject. Perhaps. considering the matter
in all it's phases, commission made up as
this one tis-judges on the one hand and
active statesmen on the ot11er-suits the
requirements Of the case better than a
commission consisting wholly Of Judges
AT any rate, there is no possibility that
the commission will be altered. and sc
we must make the best Of it. We have
little doubt that Sir Michael Herbert knew
before he signed the treaty what sort OF
commissioners President Roosevelt. II
1view Of the American attitude on this
question, would feel 1t incumbent. upor
him to appoint. There is no danger tina
the British government will protest, and
notwithstanding the environment from
which the American members are drawn
, we feel confident that they will be fail
and will honestly vote their conviction:

Younger to Exploit Notoriety.

There is probably chance for some
casuistical argument, as to whether Cole
Younger has violated the conditional
ager of a wild west show. The promise
was as follows:
l. Thomas Coleman Younger. pursuant
to one of the conditions upon which a
pardon is granted to me, do hereby promise
upon my honor that will never exhibit
myself or allow myself to be exhibited, as
an actor or participant in any public per-
formance museum, circus, theater, opera
house or any other place Of public amuse-
1nent or assembly where a charge is made
for admission.
In becoming manager of a wild west
show, Younger does not. it is true, neces-
sarily literally violate this promise in any
respect But at the same time the show S
principal asset will be the announcement
that Cole Younger and Frank James, old
time bandits and terrors Of Missouri, Iowa
Kansas and Minnesota, are the proprietors
Of the show Younger announces that he
will in no way be connected with the per-
formance but Frank James will be ring
master, and we have no doubt that the
Younger and James boys holding up E
bank or performing some other crimina
act will be the subject of some circus
play in one act with some liberal use O.

Younger himself may keep hesletter o
his promise by staying outside the arena
but the whole venture Is a violation of thu

For, aside from the opportunity afforded
for such a characterization, the play is
unworthy Of serious consideration. It was
written especially for Sol Smith Russell

had the stars weakness for wanting TO

Indeed, it is literally supplied with the

There are three villains and two hard

The author shows remarkable ingenuity
in clearing up all the tangles that arise
from this superabundance of characters

acts. But the playsaffords Mr.. Murphy a
good opportunity to display his powers as

be said to serve all purposes.
