SHEETS IS A
MAGICIAN
He Said ''Uneeda Crack
or" to Biscuit
Trust.

Columbus, March 16.-The American
Biscuit company, the bakery trust,
has bowed to the authority of Ohio.
1t at first refused to furnish the usual
statistics to the Ohio state labor COM
mission as to the amount of capital
invested in the Ohio plants.
Attorney General Sheets advised
Commissioner Ratchford to crack the
law down on the biscuit trust and
says he was ready to sue for the pen
alties. A copy Of Sheets opinion was
sent to the headquarters of the trust
in Chicago and Saturdays mail brought
the desired statistics.

Contractors May Cause Trouble

Several local contractors have
made statements to the effect that
they will refuse to sign the new scale
of the carpenters and ioiners which
has been recently drawn up and
which is now in the hands of the con-
tractors for their signatures. It is
known that one or two contractors
have positively declared that they
will not sign the scale and prospects
are that a carpenters strike will be
declared about April 1, right in the
midst OF the opening of the busy sea
son for carpenters.

reason, possibly because of domestica-

with his actions, the weather has been

THE MYSTICAL NOVEL.

Spain the First Home of Naturalism.
 A sort of vindication of the part played by Spain in modern fiction has been published by the veteran novelist Senor Benito Galdoz. He tells us that Spain was the first home of naturalism in literature-a proposition for which there is much to be said. ! It is certain, at any rate, that Cervantes, although he hardly ''sneered Spain away" yet put an end to the dreary and inter- -minable tales of the Grand Cyrus and his fellows, which until then formed the model of European romance. But Senor Galdoz will have it that it was from Spain that the great English novelists- he instances Fielding, Thackeray and Dickens C)--conceived the first idea of irony which they afterward converted into English "humor." In France, he tells us, the same inspiration, though losing somewhat of it's piquaricy and grace, added to itself the power of analysis and of. expansion, and caused the merely picturesque tale of adventure to become psychological These may not be every ones opinions, but they are modestly put forward, and as lock- CTS on see most of the game, their truth may be more apparent in the Carnary Island, whence Sen6r Galdoz writes, than in the middle Of literary move ment" He further tells us that fin Spain itself the backwash so to speak, of the literary currents has produced series of novel reading with ascetic or mystical subjects, of which he takes the romances of Senor Juan Valera as the type. "
 This is worth noticing, because it is curious how short has been in the other European countries the reign of the mystical novel or short story. At the end of the eighteenth and at the begin ming of the nineteenth century tales properly called weird orr Hoffmanesque were all the rage. Generally supposed to be German in their origin, they gave us in England one of the best and some of the worst of Scott's masterpieces, but taste of the public. Lord Lytton's at- tempt to revive them in the sos only caused him to be laughed at, and the satire of Thackeray killed them so effectually that even "John Inglesant" failed to revive the fashion. In France they seem to have been used or less unconsciously, for some sort of political propaganda which was for long time revolutionary, but now seems to have become clerical. Here, too, they seem to have been foreign to the soil, and to have agreed more or less badly With the character "clair ct net" of the French genius. But in Germany, where every body is born mystic rather than ration alist, and the national mind leans to woolliness rather, than to positivism, they would seem to have future. If the Kaiser in his next literary ukase would reform his subjects, taste as we'll as their style, he might order them to take as their literary model Edgar Allan Poe rather than continue to bur lesque Zola in the horrible connections which do duty nowadays as German novels.-Pall Mail Gazette.
