JUDGMENT.

A new novel taking radical view
of a question always of vital inter
est, and recently much discussed in
every part Of the country. The
heroine is one Of the most womanly
figures in recent fiction and one OF
the strongest--a type at once new
and strangely appealing. The story
is dramatic in its situations-avoid-
ing, however, the melodramatic and
the end is satisfying and unconven-
tional. A bit of real literature, strong
in its theme and mastery in its hand
ling.

A CANDLE OF UNDERSTANDING.
This story of the South by Eliza
beth Bisland has its beginning lin
Mississippi just after the War, and
its conclusion, in New York at the
present time. 1t is love story,
but, more than that, it is Il successful
delineation of woman7s lite. The
first part of the book deals with the
heroine's childhood, and no more
exquisitely sympathetic picture, per-
haps, has ever been given of the
thoughts, feelings, experiences of q
sensitive, emotional child.

Cincinnati. June 22.-Contrary to the
report that a compromise had been ef-
fected in New York between the Keene
and Hartman interests and that the
Southern Pacific railway suit had been
settled. brief containing sensational
allegations has been filed today by
counsel for the appellants. The original
suit involved the question of the right
of the Union Pacific directors to vote
at the stockholders meeting of the
Southern Pacific The Hartman inter
ests which represent the Union and
Central Pacific roads had secured
controlling interest in the Southern Pa
cific road and at the annual election to
have been held last April expected to
control the meeting and elect their Off
cials. Suit for injunction was begun by
the Keene interest representing stock
holders of the Southern Pacific, the ac-
ton coming to the United States court
of appeals here from the Louisville dis
trict.
The brief was prepared by Senator
Foraker of Cincinnati, Augustus E.
Wilson of Louisville, Edward Lauter-
bach of New York and Eugene Tread
well of New York. Twenty-six argu-
ments are advanced in behalf of the ap-
pellants to restrain the Hartman ele-
ment from voting the Union Pacific
