into our presence from headquarters
and shouted: Hey, there, you men!

We pious officers were dumbfounded,
yet we never mounted our men with
greater alacrity or less Formally. At
a later period one of our buglers, a
very popular Christian Soldier, died,
and a mounted escort was taking his
remains to the railway station to be
sent home. Meeting a party of young
officers in fine uniforms, one of them
asked, What officer have you there?"
When told it was the corpse of a
bugler, he turned away in disgust and
exclaimed, "A bugler! He'll! 1t strikes

According to a paper in Lahore,
India, there is at present residing in
a place nearby Mr.. Sarat Chandra
Dass, an educated Asiatic who has
made the journey to Lhassa, and who
shortly means to publish his expert
ences. The traveller in question is a
japanese Buddhist, who entered the
country disguised as a Chinaman. He
had no ditfiuctly whatever, owing to
his religious knowledge, with the from
tier guards or with the priests. In
deed, at Lha ssa, he became an object
OF great interest of the local clergy,
and was taken by them to all the
en- maps and plans. He has accord
lngly been able to bring back with
him mass of information of a pecu-
1arly valuable kind. 1t ought to be
noted that the object of the gentle
man referred to in visiting Lhassa was
IN no sense political. He ran risk
solely for religious purposes, having
in view the clearing up of certain diff
ferences in the ritual of Buddhism as
practlced in Japan and Tibet. His
book is intended primarily for Japa-
nese readers, but the author intends
later on to issue an English transla-
ton.
Mr. Walter Savage Lander and Mr..
Sven Hedin are surely outdone by this
Japanese. His book ought to have a
wide reading in this country. as well
as England, for we have always taken
a deep interest in the various at
tempts which Europeans have made to
get TO this sacred city of Tibet The
fact that a Japanese has been the
FIRST stranger to get into the place and
out again makes the subject none the
less interesting.

14.-Under the advice of a prominent
Confederate veteran of Savannah-one
whose good judgment is universally
admitted shall in future pay no at
tention to correspondents who "shoot
under cover" The position
taken by Gov. Terrell, in regard to Gen.
Chaffee, as stated in the press, is the
same as that taken by Gov. Colquitt in
regard to Gen. Sherman, then a full
general and also in command of the
entire army. In a future letter 1 may
give my own experience in that case.
l see that the noted corre-
spondent, w. E. Curtis of the Chicago
Record-Herald, is correcting the ever
'bobbing up" story that Lieut.. Jeffer-
son Davis, U. S. A, eloped with Col.
Zachary Taylors daughter. More than
a year ago 1 fully exploded that
threadbare yarn in one of my Morning
News letters While it is true that the
father opposed the marriage and was
not present at the ceremony, there was
no elopement, as Col. Taylor finally
consented to the marriage. A
Baptist preacher in Georgia sends me
the statement of an old Confederate
soldier, member of his church, in
regard to Gen. Lees tender of his
sword to Gen. Grant. 1 may use it
next week.

Tolstoi once said that of all Ameri-
can writers he preferred Felix Adler.
Indeed it is difficult to estimate the
value which is put upon the lectures
and writings of this mild hammered
professor of political and social eth
les. His reputation, in some respects,
is worldwide, and whenever he gives
public address his audience is of the
most cosmopolitan character. Prof.
Adler has recently been speaking and
writing on subjects, generally CLASH

New York publisher will shortly bring
out a volume by the distinguished
economist under this title. Foreign
translations of the work are already
in contemplation.

Some New Books
BY HERBERT BREWSTER.

A review of the summary of the
books for 1902 as compiled by the
Publishers Weekly shows some in
teresting facts. We are manifestly a
nation of fiction publishers and fic-
ton readers, there being nearly 1000
different volumes of this class in the
totals. When it comes to books of
serious nature, law and theology oc-
cupy an important ranking, but of
all the various kinds of books which
we import from other countries, the
ology and religion lead. But two books
of humor were imported during last
year and only two of the works on
law published in this country last
year were written by foreign authors.

THE RAIL ROAD STRUGGLE
RocKefeller'S Attempt to Control the
 New York Central.

New York, July Il Special cores pondence of The Republican)-D many years the public at large has been taught to study Wall street, it having been repeatedly declared a mir TOT refiecting the prosperity of rail- roads and industries. the value of crops wheat, corn and cotton, and the output of mines, gold, silver, iron, cop per and coal. For the past six months prices for securities have declined. All the benefits presumed to lie in high prices have evaporated. Many gilt edged securities are lower than they were before the magnificent boom
 took place. Labor commands a good price and is no drug in the market. Capital is in demand and many oppOr- tunities exist for employment. Indus trial wealth and population have null tiplied, acreage yielding magnificent crops has increased, mining wealth has been added to. and forge and factory. loom and mill report healthy demands for every class of goods for future use. Railroads report increased freight and travel receipts and business in abun- dance ahead of them. This is all known to be true. If so, what is the matter with the mirror?
 Prices for many bonds and stocks during the palnly days Of speculation reflected the insane antics of crazy speculatoTs rather than the values placed on them by conservative in- Vestors or their values as producers of income and conservators of invested funds. It is not to be wondered at that when the mania for speculation sub sided. or rather when the optimistic speculator got a nervous chill, the pushed up prices sagged for lack of support.

Their product becomes more and more in demand as population multipies and it's varied necessities become a demand on mine and mill The steel industry in all its branches is as fixed as railroading. Mines of ore possess better property values than railroad ties and steel rails which are but short lived. and factories and forges are no more perishable than engines and freight and passenger cars. Competition no more threatens the United States Steel corporation than do rival roads those of the New York Central and Pennsylvania. Yet in the face of extraordinary facts pre- sented by United States Steel the pub lie rushes for New York Central and Pennsylvania. l saw the same situa ton in this city when Jay Gould leased the two elevated railroads and formed the Manhattan Railway company.
