Mary Johnston's New Novel.

Sir Mortimer" the latest novel Of
Mary Johnston. deals with Elizabethan
days. and the scene is laid partly at
court and partly on the high seas. The
hero is a mixture of Raleigh, Philip
Sidney. and the three Musketeers. and
causes one to wonder il any Of the
Elizabethan Englishmen would recog-
nize themselves II they could read the
modern historical novel.
Frankly, we have had pretty nearly
enough OF The swashbuckler in fiction.
He is interesting only when extremely
we'll done. and presented in some origi-
nal way. neither Of which is the case
with Sir Mortimer" The book has the

RHODE ISLAND LAUNCHING
NO SLIGHT TO GOVERNOR

The President has relieved the mind Of
Gov L +. c. Garvin, OF Rhode Island,
as TO his having received amy slight in
the recent launching of the battleship
Rhode Island, at Quincy. Mass.
The governor wrote the President, in
forming him he had not been asked 20
name the sponsor for the christening.
and asking if this were not Il breach Of
naval etiquette.
The President says the matter is en-
tlIeIy with the contractors who build
the vessel In regard 70 the selection
OF a sponsor the President says the
governor OF the State should not neces-
sarily be consulted as TO the lady Off
clating in that capacity. Precisely tine
same course pursued at all similar

Island
The selection Of guests is also left 70

Steamboat DAYS.

Running the River" by George Cary
Eggleston. IS a book which most boys.
some girls. and many older people Will
Ike. II deals with old steamboat days
on the Mississippi and care has been
taken to introduce as much realism as
possible in incident and description. The
story deals with the adventures of three
boys who. with their sister, run a small
store-boat up the river toward CHICAGO.
and then down to New Orleans. The
conditions OF life in the new western
country are wildly described, and the
plot and incident are in keeping with
the time and place. The only apparent
slip which Mr. Eggleston makes IS in
his hero's use of the phrase "dinky lit
tie bout" 1t may be that he has au-

Threats to XIII Grew
out of DiSbarnlent Case
J. A. Coleman, Author of Mechanics Lien Law,
Says He Cannot Be Frightened Out
of Pushing Civil Suit.

Mrs. Springer admits that she looked
up Mr. Coleman's record because he was
instrumental in getting the perjury in
dictment against Warren Springer three
years ago. but she denies that the club
rivalry had anything 10 do with the
matter.
According to the statement issued by
Mrs. Springer. the trouble started when
she gave property in Polk Street to the
Daughters of the Revolution for work
shop and playground.
Within a few days after the an
nouncement Of the gift. says Mrs.
Springer. MIR. Coleman began the suit
which tied up the property
MIR. Coleman, on the contrary, says
the litigation was started several years
before the gift was made.
Mr.. Coleman defends himself with Wig
oc against the attacks that have been
made on his reputation.
Threats OF Shooting.
Mrs. Springer told me in court last
June" said Mr.. Coleman. that she
could have shot me the day after the
indictment of Warren Springer for per
! jury. At one time Warren Springer
sent his agent to me with a threat that
unless 1 withdrew the litigation against
him l would be shot. Afterward Spring

This defiance TO his enemies is the out

brought against Mr. Coleman through
the efforts Of Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Springer. Mr.. Springer Is a real estate
dealer Both he and his wife have here

French Pass Religious Orders Bill.

A cabIegram from Paris says: BY the
decisive majority of 316 to 20? the cham
Der of deputies passed the government
bill for the suppression of all forms of
teaching by the religious orders. This
supplements and completes the work be-
gun by the former premier, M. Waldeck-
Rousseau. in 1901. The first law sup
pressed the unauthorized teaching or
ders. which had for q long time carried
on their vocation. despite the lack of Ie-
gal sanction. The new law does not
make any distinction between authorized
and unauthorized congregations, but
sweeps away the whole fabric of teach
ing BY religious orders, thus in effect
substituting the system of state schools
for those heretofore conducted by the
orders. The bill. which still has to pass
the senate. though no very serious oppo-
sition TO it is anticipated there, forbids
all teaching by the religious orders In the
territory OF, France proper, and provides
70. the suppression within ten years Of
all orders actually holding an authorize
tion to teach.
