WHY HAWTHORNE IS
 A POPULAR AUTHOR

Hawthorne's style at its best. Is one of the most perfect media employed by any writer using the English lan- guage. Dealing, as 1t usually does, with an immaterial subject matter. with dream-like impressions and fam tastic productions of the imagination. 1t is concrete without being opaque-- ominously concrete one might say. No other writer that I know of nas the power of making his fancies visible and tangible without 1mpairing their delicate immateriality. If any writer can put the rainbow into words, and yet leave 1t a rainbow, surely 1t is Hawthorne.
 Most writers having to treat such material as the favorite material of Hawthorne would fall back upon the impressionistic method, and hint rather than embody-and am not for q mo- ment depreciating the value of that method. At the same time 1t cannot be denied that of the two methods 1t is the easier--because to suggest is so much easier than to describe, and no little impressionism is simply clever evasion of visual responsibility. Haw- thorne, however, is no trickster. No matter how subtle or volatile Is the matter to be expressed, his imagina- ton is so patiently observant, and his literary skill so answerable to his inn agination that he Is able really to write so close to the spiritual fact as to leave nothing to be done by the reader except to read. Often, as one reads him, and anticipates some ap' preaching matter peculiarly fine and difficult, he wonders how the author can possil ly put this into concrete words.
 Yet. again, 1t is not q little interest ing, even surprising, to note how inef- fectual Is this delicious powerful ar tistic equipment when employed upon material which, so to say, has not been ancestrally prepared for it's use There are whole stretches of Hawthorne not merely flat and uninspired, but posi- lively amateurish. In this respect he reminds one of Wordsworth, who at one moment is master, and the next -an absurdity.-Richard LeGallienne in July Success.

The condition to-day in the state of Colorado is causing comment among the lawmakers of the country who are now visiting the national capitol, says our Washington correspondent. It is also the occasion for grave concern. They realize that the situation out, there is no longer an ordinary contest between labor and capital, or between union and non-union workers. It is government by special interests for special interests carried to its logical conclusion that is on exhibition. A lawless mob, supported by the militia, IS giving mining camps the kind of Flaw and order'' that the mining com panies desire-the same mining com panies which debauched the legislat- ure and prevented the passage of an eight hour law made mandatory by a constitutional amendment adopted by an overwhelming majority of the peo- pie of the state. All citizens who value American institutions are dis 4nayeu. Iu6y see SOYeFuuleHC Dy corporate corruption yielding it's nat ural fruit in unbridled disorder and military tyranny. The lesson of Col orado, full of sinister warning, is as broad as the union. It concerns. ev- cry man who cares for the preserva- tion of the legal rights of the individ- ual, and it concerns every man, also who cares for the maintenance of re- spect for property. More than that, the trusts which procure or prevent legislation by pull and poodle strike at the security of everybody else's property. Tn that case will the people continue to uphold a trust loving and a trust protecting administration? :? Think it over.

COUNTRY FOLKS QUEER CURES

When 1t comes to superstition" re- marked the doctor the other evening. there's nothing that can beat the sll- perstitions about medicine and cures generally.
 There's the average Arkansan, for instance. He thinks that a coal oil: poultice is good for sore throat. As soon as his throat gets sore he Binds about 1t poultice of coal oil. It peels the skin all off his neck, but he be- lieves it has cured him just the same. Then the Mississfppdan doses himself for impure blood with teas of hen1Iock leaves, planta1n and all manner Of 1in- pleasant weeds The result is bad stomach ache, but the patient keeps up his treatment and thinks 1t as good as anything a regular practitioner would have given him.

 And the odd thing about all thls,s concluded the doctor, ''is that people will take the most unpleasant medi- cines when they prescribe them them. selves, whereas they would kick like mules if they were administered by a regular physician - Philadelphia PEesss

It is little wonder that Great Britain is losing her commercial supremacy when the authorities at the instance of the treasury, .swoop down upon a captain of industry like Ernest Terah Hooley and lug him off to Bow street, says the editor of the New York World. Mir Hooley was arrested on complaint of a certain Alfred J. Paine, who insists that the defendant induced him by false pretenses to invest money in worthless undertakings. We order these things better in the United States where high finance is held in more general esteem. We should never think of arresting the gentlemen who engineer our little deals in Amalga- mated or organize our United States ship building companies. The most serious legal inconvenience to which our Napoleons of finance are ever sub- jected is to be compelled to testify oc- casionally in a civil suit, and explain, for the edification of the multitude, how the sawdust was substituted for the bank notes when the packages of securities" were turned over to the purchaser. It was MT Johnson who said that men are seldom so innocently employed as when they are making money" and in anything short of coun- terfeiting our authorities are not dis posed to dissent

 The only doubtful features of the affair are that General Miles hasn't made mp his mind whether he would accept prohibition presidential nomi- nation if it were rendered him, and that the prohibitionists haven't decid- ed whether they would tender it to him if he would accept-Hartford Post.
 Tom Johnson says that Hearst can not land the prize, that Judge Parker is undesirable on several accounts, and that Grover Cleveland "has no show whatever" George Gray looks to him the best of the "compromise'' candidates; what he'd really like to see, though, is the nomination of Joe Folk of Missouri-''the strongest young nAn in the democratic party.- Hartford Courant.
 Speaking of the St Louis exposition, an Englishman declares that it has attracted all the cleverest crooks of both sexes. Viewing the matter in another light it appears that 1t is the innocent of both sexes who have at tracted the crooks.

 McKinley's admonition that i've must. not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing" made no appeal to the convention.

Russian sympathizers

Russian sympathlzers are very scarce in New York, 'tis said, nearly all the foreign element leaning tow ards Japan's side of the cause. The papers that are supported and read py these foreigners are very anti Russian and the intensity of this feeling, says on exchange, was strikingly shown Tn Carnegie hall recently at the concert of the Swedish university singers, who are touring this country to raise funds for the establishment of chair of Swedish literature in western a1n1- yersbty. The hall was crowded to the doors when the demonstration took place. The singers had just begun the chorus of an old Finnish battle hymn that hurled defiance into the teeth of the Russian foe, when re- sounding cheer that sounded like q battle cry was heard in the back of the hall. Then this immense audi ence of fair-haired and ruddy-faced Swedes arose as one man. With eyes flashing ana with significant gestures some Joined in the deep, swelling cho- rus, women waved their handker- chiefs, while cheers and anathemas against Russia at times drowned the voices of the singers. For several minutes the demonstration, the like of which has rarely been witnessed in New York. continued.

The monetary situation is quite satis- factory from the stock market point of view. Loanable funds are plenti- ful and bank reserves much higher than for several years at this period, says Banker Clews. At present rates of interest number of good dividend paying stocks yield much better re- turns than cash, the inevitable result of which must be preference for the former until such differences are more nearly equarized. It must be remem- bered that our currency supply has been immensely augmented during the last seven or eight years by additions to our stock of gold and tho heavy is- sues Of bank notes. Business has contracted, but our stock of money cannot be correspondingly reduced un- der the present inelastic system; hence funds must accumulate and seek em- ployment in new channels. Crop de- mands have not yet asserted them selves, though money will no doubt soon be sent south to handle the cot ton crop. Western requirements should be less than usual, because money is already more abundant than usual at western centers. It is i'm. possible to predict what effect the war will have upon international move. ments, but gold is still arriving from Japan, and Klondike shipments will soon arrive, all of which would facili- tate gold exports should Europe so de. sire. As better supply of commer. cial bills will soon be available, how. ever, tho prospect of gold shipments growg more and more remote

SHOES FOR MANY OCCASIONS.
The Unsuccessful Walking Pump and
 the Suspicious Champagne Kid.

The Unsuccessful Walking Pump and
 the Suspicious Champagne Kid.
 The walking pump is not success. The shoe men say so openly. Every woman In New York who has invested In pair of pumps for out door wear has made great complaint. Why? Be- cause after about three wearingg this style of footgear stretches at the sides and refuses to stay on. The friction raises blisters on the heels that would make tennis expert ashamed of his limited supply at the beginning of the season.
 The only persons who can wear the pump with the slightest degree of com fort are those with very thick heels, and their feet, naturally look badly in low cut slipper. Iris too bad fhat the pump refuses to cling to the high instep and thin heel, for there never has been q shoe that made the foot look so trim and smart, The very swell bootmakers are giving their customers a black silk pad with every pair of pumps When the shoes begin to stretch this pad is placed under the eyelets and the ribbon lacing tied firm ly over 1t, which helps to keep the shoe on.
 There Is absolutely no sale for the regulation low-cut shoe, except among very conservative dressers. The really smart Oxfords have three very large eyelets on either side and nre reefed together with q broad, very heavy grosgrain ribbon. They are cut lower than the low shoe of other seasons and make the foot look smaller. Russian calf is the most favored material for rough and ready wear, and tan, black and white the most modish colors.
 Champagne colored shoes have not had kind reception. They have about them a look of the Tenderloin which the truly refined do not like. A very stylish low shoe for dress is built with moderately thick extension sole and Cuban heel, with vamp of patent leather and top of soft dull kid. It's novelty is in the fastening-three very large buttons.
