SOME OF THE new BOOKS
Ruskin's Letters to VI. G. and ii. G..

A man who has an appreciable effect on
the minds of his generation in forming or
changing them is a great man. Such
man was Ruskin. in the general field of
art and criticism perhaps no man of the
past century had such a popular influence.
We have the public side of the man in his
writings for the public, but we have TO
look for his private side in such letters as
these TO Helen and Mary Gladstone. The
predominant note IN Ruskin's public writ
ings, as often occurs in those who have
developed the aesthetic disposition particu-
larry is a despair of all that is known of
human politics, but in these letters there is
an especial note of courage, such as would
be ELECTED by those of like tastes and in
terests with the writer. But, as Mr.. George
Wyndham, one of his critics, has well said:
His despair throws up in higher light
the gracious courage with which, while
treadlng a via dolorosa, he placed q posy
before every shrine of beauty and gentle
ness and love" In this book one does not
look for literature, philosophy, politics or
anecdote, but expects to ind the private
and human side OF one %hom Giadst tone
for 'sibyls and children and vestals and
so on" explains the writings of these letters
to the daughters of the great English
statesman. The letters are valuable be-
cause they show how playful and affection
ate, how gentle and reverential a great
man may be. They contain little of public
interest. Ills references 10 GlduStOne, 10
Browning, to the land league and TO the
law of land-owning, not more than few
sentences given to each, are all that are
of public concern, unless one considers the
poetic illusions in broader light than is
wont. The majesty of the plane trees,
whose branches were twisted grandly by
rock Winds" the pretty tree which is never
meant to be drawn with all its leaves on
any more than day when the sun is at
noon One draws the day in it's morning
or evening, the tree in its spring or autumn"
the move of the shadow from its dial ever
MORE" are thoughts Of wide poetic con-
Germ. Euskins idea Of Browning Is doubly
significant thought and as the manner
Of expressing it. HE (Browning) knows
much of music, does not he? But think he
must like it mostly for its discords." The
book closes with essays on 'Ruskin" and
Gladstone ny Canon Scott Holland, which
are worth while criticism. The volume
as whole is peculiarly entertaining. Har-

PURE WATER FOR ANDERSON.
Four Concerns Anxious to Put I'm Sys-
TENS of Filtration.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Sept. 27.-The Ander-
son pure water committee and the City
Council are still wrestling with the problem
Of a pure supply of water for Anderson
The representatives of four concerns who
have bid for the erection of filters for the
city have been before the joint committee
and explained in detail the merits of their
systems. 1t is now up to a question of
lime, alum or iron as a means of purifying
White river water. A Pittsburg company
and the American Water Purifying Com
pany of Indianapolis are the lowest bid
ders.
Anderson people are loath to receive
White river water in any manner, but
guarantees have been made that the river
affords the only solution of the question
and that a standard of almost absolute
purity can be secured. The committee will
announce its decision this week.
The fund for pure water now on hand
amounts to more than $4,000, and all this
and a much larger sum will have to be ex-
pended In bringing the plant up to the
needs and requirements of Anderson.

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT
OHIO VALLEY ASSOCIATION TO HOLD
BIG MEETING IN EVANSVILLE.
Members of Congress Are PIedging
Their support. and Favorable Leg
fslative Action Is Expected.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 27.-The in
terest that is now being manifested indi-
Gates that the convention of the Ohio Val
ley Improvement Association to be held
here Oct IA and Is Will be the most i'm
portant ever held by the organization.
Scores of prominent men have written that

the business of the convention. The local
committee is writing personal letters to
all prominent men along the Ohio river and
tributaries inviting them TO the conven-
ton The feeling that has been aroused
throughout the whole valley is such as to
warrant the belief that the meeting will
be a great success.
The people generally are beginning TO
realize that the time was never so favorable
for river Improvement as at this time.
Members of Congress were never so will
ing to pledge their support as now, and the
belief is growing that when the influence
of the Ohio Valley Improvement Associa-
ton is felt in Congress at it's coming ses-
sion that most favorable action will re-
suit.
Governor Durbin has written that he will
be present and welcome the delegates in
the name of the State. Governor White,
busy man, il is his intention to attend the
convention, for he fully appreciates its i'm
portance and import. Senator Charles w.
Fairbanks writes that he is in full SYM
pathy with the movement looking to the
improvement of the Ohio river and ex-
poets to be present Congressman b. Is.
Drovener, OF Wheeling, writes: II was a
member OF the Ohio Valley Improvement
Association at its inception and I have
been so ever since, and 1 am deeply in
terested in the Improvement of the Ohio
river. I expect to be present at the con-
vention and hope to see a meeting that
will challenge the attention as well as in
duce further legislation to the favorable
consideration and necessities of the Ohio
river as well as it's Improvement which is
so much needed for the commerce of this
stream"
All the Indiana congressman, with pos
sibly one exception, have signified their in
tentfon OF being present at the convention.
Other congressman who have accepted in
vitations are j. A Hughes, Huntington,
w. Va; Henry G. woodward Spencer, W.
Va; j. A Biedler, Cleveland; Henry r.
Rainey, Carleton, ILL.,; Williams, Carmi, III.
The general agent of the improvement as
ISOLATION passed through Evansville yes
terday and informed Secretary Odell that
he had visited every city from Louisville
to Cairo and that every town and city
would have delegates present at the con-
vention.
Congressman Stanley, of Henderson. is
taking a deep interest in the approaching
convention and says that Kentucky will
have as great representation at the con-
vention as Indiana or any other State.

LECTURER IS PESSIMISTIC
PROF. j. Il. Cowgirl THINKS CITIES
ARE GOING TO THE DOGS.
Saloons and Disregard for Law Are
Chief Forces working for Anarchy
-Chfnaman Baptized.

1.-THE Modern American City," was the
subject OF lecture delivered by Prof. ]. l..
Cowgirl, OF this city, last night in the
Fletcher-avenue NJ. f. Church, at the COR
ner of Virginia avenue and South street
Prof. Cowgirl claimed that all American
cities OF average size were ruled by men
who made politics their business and who
considered the voters rather than the city.
He attacked the saloon as the greatest
menace 10 clean municipal government and
said that 1t is this class of men who hold
the ruling powers in the large cities. The
alarming fact in the governments of to-day.
ne maintained, is that the class which con-
trolls the power OF the city is the one which
has the least regard for the law. He said that
the condition has become such that to-
day IL Is almost the impeachment OF a
mans moral character to be elected the
chief executive of city.
The saloon, Prof. Cowgirl said. Is not
small Individual. but a capitalstic trust
and strong organization of vice which
gathers about IL strength daily. Vices
gravttate about IT, and IL Is the main spring
of iniquity and everything that is a menace
10 natural civilization. The vices of the
place he maintained, shield the frequenters
and become organized into a machine before
which political parties fall down and wor-

election. said the speaker.
DISREGARD FOR LAW.
Another cause OF bad city government,
Professor Cowgirl said. is the disregard for
law. which crops out I'm every large city.
The speaker claimed that lawlessness in
whatever form ii may be found, whether
In the home or In the city. is anarchy. Con-
tiiuing. he said: Municipal government is
becoming daily more serious and more diff
ficuit- The vicious element invariably holds
the balance OF power. The political parties
decide on some question which will further
their interests and do not consider the in
