A collection OF the writings Of James
J. 1ngalls-essays. addresses and orations-
arranged and authorized by Mrs. J. J. In
gals and william Elsey Connelley. has
Just been published. Mrs. John j. ingalls,.
widow Of the famous Kansas senator, has
brought to most interesting fruition her
cherished desire to reveal to the world
what may be called the home side OF her
distinguished husband, in this book pub
lished by the Hudson kimberly Publishing
company. The work contains an introduc-
tion BY George r. Peck. an appropriate
memoir Of the great senator. and many
OF his letters and fragmentary sketches.
These reveal a gentle and tender quality
in the nature and character OF Senator
ingalls, which he did not manifest to the
world in his public career. The country
looked upon senator ingalls, as a man Of
phenomenal brillisncy. with a tendency TO
satire and keen eXcoristion which made
him greatly feared by his enemies and
his competitors in debate. and which drew
TO the senate galleries thousands of audi
tors whenever II was known that he was
to speak. His power for whitening in
vective was often compared to that OF
John Randolph OF Roanoke, and It Is GER
tain that his mastery OF language was
not equaled by any OF his contemporaries.

capital and labor problem with which he
has been so prominently engaged as an
arbitrator. Mr.. Potter's book is in effect
a direct appeal TO the citizen not to limit

Barnard Anderson has written a biog-
raphy OF Andrew Carnegie" in which he
tells of the extraordinary career OF the
great iron master from the beginning Of
life as a messenger boy to multi-milliOn-
sire. Mr.. Carnegie's career is in many
ways more Enthusiastically American
than the career of boys born in this coun-
Wy, as ne went INTO the new west without
friends or assistance OF any kind and built
Up his life's work by his own extraordinary
initiative. In the preparation Of this vol
lme the author and publishers have had
