The author says in her preface:
1T has been thought better to devote as
much consideration as possible to the
most noted of the works rather than to
speak more briefly of many. In this way
it is hoped that the book may be valuable
both for travellers. who wish to have
formation of the great treasures of Rome,
and for the amateur who has not sufficient
time or desire to consult the many orig
inal works necessary for thorough art
=. 1t would be impossible to overestimate
the importance of the subject of this book

Prophets and sibyls Of the sistine Chapel;
and where Raphael painted his sublimest
Stanze, and the exquisite arabesques of
the LOggie.
Miss Potter describes of all these and
the Borgia apartment, the tapestries, the
sculpture galleries and the pinacotec:
Her book has pictures of paintings and
details, a photography and an index of
names.
Miss Potter is already we'll known by
her interesting works upon art and this
her latest and most important book will
be received with pleasure by those inter-
ested in the art of the world.
ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE.
The Romance of the Commonplace. BY
Gelett Burgess. $780, San Francisco.
Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard.
This is volume of modern philosophy,
which ranks in that class of essays made
famous by Jerome K. Jerome. Mr.. Bur-
CESS says many clever things in his book,
and one may glance at any chapter and
| discover many commonplace things writ
ten in a very uncommon manner. 1.-The
desire to tell secrets" writes the author,
lis one of the most contagious Of diseases,
and few Of us are immune. Some vigOr
Gus moral constitutions never succumb,
but once an epidemic begins it is hard
work stopping it, and secret on the ram
page is well nigh Irresistible. Tell your
secret then, broadcast, and let it have it's
confide it to her who asserts she never has
| the slightest desiEe to tell, for there, like
a seed sown in fertile ground, it will ger
inmate and flower long after you have for
gotten it, aye, and bring forth fruit you
never planted"
Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged
tool and must be used with care. 1t is
not everyone who has the tact to decide at
a glance just how much his victim will
stand.''
The author treats of art, science and
literature with such delicate, ironical
criticism, and withal, with so much of
masterful art as to render this book of
unusual interest

This drama, which was first presented
at Madrid on January 80 1901: made, a
deep impression on the Spanish people.
It was written to give expression to the
authors ambition for his country and
his countrymen, and to urge them TO so
cial and political renovation. It is es-
pecially timely and interesting to Amer

TWO NIGGERS APIECE.
Rumor Among Ignorant Negroes
that Maj. Vardaman's Election
Means Reinstatement.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 1.-The negroes of
Mississippi, and especially the igno-
rant classes. have acquired many lu.
dicrous ideas as to the political mean
ing of the nomination of Major Var
daman to the Office of governor. An
idea has gained considerable currency
among the ignorant blacks that Major
Vardaman not only intends to give
the negro as few schools as possible,
but also intends to put them back in
to slavery again, and that every
white man will be allowed to take
his pick of two negroes Immediately
after the new governor is installed
into office.
The educated class Of blacks, and
the plantation managers and large
employers of labor are giving assur-
ances to the ignorant negroes that the
election of Major Vardaman will mean
no abridgement whatever, of their
civil rights, nor in any way change
their worldly status. AS the negro
rarely moves unless prompted by over
hostility, there is no Likelihood that

THE BALL GAME.
Mobile wins Out IN Score Of to ?
in Warmest Game Ever Played
in this City.

The prediction of an exciting,
closely contested gam, in the battle
between Hattiesburg and Mobile yes
terday afternoon was completely full
filled by the players in game per-
haps the best ever played in this city.
From start to finish the game was
excl ing in the extreme, and both
teams put forth every effort 70 win.
Especially good was the battery on
both sides, and the support given it
was all that could have been expected.
1t was not until the third inning
that the game took on so exciting
pha ;e. Until this innng no score
had been made, but though an error
of Bowen, the pitcher for Hatties
burg, ehree men made home, the only
scores made by Mobile in the game. In
this same inning Hattiesburg, by some
splendid batting, got two scores to the
good, the only ones made by her in
the game. From this time on the
game continued with remarkable spir-
it, and at the close the score stood 3
to 2, in favor of Mobile
Thus it may be seen that in the
matter of good playing, Hattiesburg
really exceeded the opposing team,
and though defeated, the Hattiesburg
boys are jubilant over the manner in
which the game was played, aud the
prospect for victory in the game this
afternoon.
In the game for this afternoon, the
only changes occurring in the men
will he that Thompkins. . home man,
will go into the box he and Bridges
cons ituting the battery. This game
gives promise Of even more interest
and good playing than the one of yes
terday.

Man Who Introduced School Fund
Division Idea Defeated for the

Special to the Daily Progress.


Jackson, Sept. l.-An element of
the irony of fate is involved in the
defeat of DR.. E. A. Rowan, who was
a candidate for membership in the
Legislature from Copiah county at the
primary last Thursday. DR.. Rowan
is the original promoter of Major
Vardaman's plan to divide the school
fund between the white and negro
races, and Mt several sessions OF the
Legislature he persistently, but in
vain, tried to secure recognition on
the subject. Major Vardaman adopted
the idea and made it one of the planks
of his platform in the race for COVER
nor. He carried -Copiah county by
about the same majority with which
DR.. Rowan was defeated by his oppo-
nent.
