The Motor Pirate. By G. Sidney Pa
ternoster. Published by /. c. Page and
Company, Boston. For sale by Judd.
The author Of ''The Motor Pirate
outdistances all competitors in novelty
of theme and thrilling incident. Mr..
Paternoster's highwayman, as the title
indicates, is most up-to-date. The
deeds Of Dick Turpin and his famous
black more are rendered insignificant
by this cleverest of criminals mounted
on the driving seat of the fastest motor
car in the world.
There is a trinity of interest in ''The
Motor Pirate" 1t is, in truth, a rat
Ting, searching tale Of adventure; it is
a detective story with really original
theme; it has a strong heart interest in
which the character drawing rings true
and the love-making is sweet and hon

Mademoiselle Miss and Other Stories.
BY Henry Harland. 12mo, IS cents.
John Lane has chosen for the sixth vol
ume Of his Canvasback Library vol
ume of short stories by Henry Harland,
taking title from the initial tale of Par
is student life, 'Mademoiselle Miss
This pleonasm Of name falls to quiet
young English girl who appears sud
denly from owhere to work at art, and
who following her whim and guide
book, chooses the ''Hotel de POcean ct
de Shakespeare, Rue Racine" for her
lodgings. Madame, with compre-
hensive gesture, the story reads, intro
ducing her to us in those terms: .Une
nouvelle, une anglaise, Mees, 49,. Then
she made awful hash of a rather long
Winded English name: and we were
content to accept the newcomer simply
as Miss. The Concierge and the SER
wants, though, treated Miss as a petit
nom like Jane or Susan, and prefixed
the title Mademoiselle." How her
knowledge Of French, being based on
Ollendorf and Corinne, saved her from
recognizing in the incomprehensible
slang of the Boulevards that surround
ed her the true and inward quality of
the Hotel de pOcean ct de Shakes
peare;" how the young men soon came
to realize her position and her binder,
and what anxiety it cost them; and
how the young women Of the menage
saved the situation finally by flying be-
fore the breath of clear air that she
brought with her into their heavy at
mosphere, all makes a tale that in
graceand 4delicacy more than justifies
its revival For the stories-there are
five in all-were written some twelve or
fifteen years ago by young pen, as
the author says, that was trying its
paces;' but by a pen also that was Civ

THE Cardinals Snuff Box to come.
or the other four stories, THE Funeral
March of Marionette," is deity sad
study Of the women, who, as Miss Clara
Morris said, wear their rogue with a
difference; The Prodigal Father sets
a stern young Harvard graduate in
contrast with his debonaire and genial
lycynical expatriated parent; "A
Sleeveless Errand'' is a story of defer
red disillusion; and "A Light Sover-

whimsical doings of the Grand Duchess

TROUBLE
LOCAL COTTON COMPANIES AF- FECTED BY NEW YORK AS-
 SEGMENT.
Cotton Products Companies With Off, hces in Montgomery were Fi- nanced by American Cotton COmpany-An Early Ad-
 justment.

The American Cotton Company which went into the hands of receivers q few days since in New York City af- ton Products Company and the Geor- sia Cotton Products Company. whose offices are located in Montgomery.
 The local companies were affected due to the fact that they were finance ing their cotton through the American Cotton Company by selling to the American Cotton Company all their purchases. The fact of the American Cotton Company going into the hands of receivers, which was unexpected to both companies. caused them to tenn porarily suspend until their arrange ments could be made regarding the financing of their purchases.
 w. E. Hooker, Montgomery mana ger of the cotton products companies. said yesterday:
 ''The receivership of the American Cotton Company was caused by a fac some of the stockholders who desired to secure control of the company.
 The receivers appointed for the American Cotton Company were Mir. Wm. c. Lowering of Taunton. Mass. Congressman from that State and one of the largest mill owners in the East. The other receiver is MT. Charles E |. Kimball of Summit. S. J.
 The American Cotton Company will resume operations within the next few days, and the policy of the company will not he changed in any way as the receivers are in close touch with the business and the former gentlemen who managed the affairs of the com pany were of their selection"
 Mr. Hooker hcre produced tele- gram from l.. l.. Fleming of New York City. Vice President of his com pany as follows:
 Your company is solvent but. diff faculties with the American Cotton Company preventing financing your purchases temporarily"
 The chief business of the cotton pro- ducts companies of the various States is the buying and selling of round-bale cotton. which method of baling has heen exploited by the American Cot ton Company.
 The other companies fin the south doing business ih conjunction with the Georgia and Alabama companies. whose headquarters are in Montgom- cry are: the Texas Cotton Products Company with offices at Dallas and Houston, Tex; the Arkansas Cotton Products Company. the Tennessee Cot ton Products Company and the Missis- sippi Cotton Products Company, with general offices at Memphis, Tenn; the Indian Territory Cotton Products Co, and the Oklahoma Cotton Products Co.,. with general offices at Oklahoma City O.

There is a vast amount of work to be done, and outside of the Culebra cut most of the digging done by the French companies avails nothing. Rank vegetation and earth filings have made it necessary to begin all over again in most of the seven dis tricts into which the work was divid- ed by the French company. But with the preliminaries largely disposed of, plans will be pushed now as rapidly as possible. General Davis will remain in Panama all the time, and it is like ly that one or two other members of the commission will also be there, so that the work both here and there may be expedited"

when we cannot reach it in order to meas ur1 the distance-this is a problem of very different kind
 And when the distant goal of those lum- inous stars from which we are sundered by tn profound depths of space; when that oh@ect is not only supremely inaccessible. but also remote to a degree nearly as in- finite as the human mind can grasp-in such case the problem of distance s not merely one of attractive difficulty; 1t Is one that strs the imagination strongly.
 Bessel was the first to solve this observat- iona problem. His method was simple enough. We have seen that the actual quantity of parallactic change n a stars position diminishcs with the stars distance
 So Besse selected his star on account Of it' large motion as indicated by the older star catalogues, His method of obserNa- ton. like every method destined for con spicious success, was perfectly simple. Two small auxiliary stars were selected near the ono under observation for parallax. Every observing night Bessel measured the exact distaEC" on the face of the sky between each \lall star and the paralax star.
 He judged quite carrogtly that these two irsisriticant objects must really be almost indefinitely far from If such was the case, they must be perfectly free from any appreciable pnrallactiC shift, even according to the Sop"rrican theory. If on the other hand. the suspected star really is near us, must make 1t appear to swing back and forth during the year between the two aux Hilary stars.

ducts Company, with general offices at New Orleans,
 A small army of buyers Is employed by these companies. the Montgomery office alone employing nearly 100 men who travel in Georgia and Alabama.
 MT. Hooker said yesterday that he hoped to have arrangements perfected today whereby the office here could make drafts on New York covering all cotton purchased and not paid for.
 '"The Advertiser may be assured" said MT. Hooker that both the Ala bama Cotton Products Co. and the Georgia Cotton Products Co. are en- tirely solvent. and that their tempo- rary retirement Is only due to the fact that the avenue was suddenly cut of for the financing of their large bus mess, and they expect to again be in the market by the next few days"
 Six weeks ago the offices of these two companies were removed from Att lanta to Montgomery. Handsome otfi- ces have been fitted up on Montgomery Street and a clerical force of about twenty men Is employed.
 During the season just closed MT. Hooker said his companions had pur- chased 120,000 bales of cotton in Ala bama and Georgia

CAMBRIAN COMMENTS.

We have been pleased to see the fair
and onseryatlve attitude taken by
number of prominent Welsh people, In
different parts Of the country, on the
present furore about the "Mormons'
They appear to be mbued with a bet
ter spirit than that which fires many
people of other nationaitles, They
have been probably influenced some-
what by such eminent musicians as Ap
Madoc, and others, who have met our
rtople at musical gatherings and have
learned something about the Nor
mons as they really are. From
County Clerk John James we have
heard Of numerous kindly expressions
from countrymen Of his and We are
permitted to copy the following eX-
tracts from letters he has recently re-
coiyed. The first Is from a very cele-
brated Welsh bard and musical critic,
OF worldwide fame, he says:
what deuce Of rumpus we have
had with the Smoot inquiry. | followed
1t very closely. / believe that the
frankness, the delightful, yet dignliied
bluntness OF President Smith has made
Il most favorable impression, because
lt cleared the View Of the matter. But
what your conference did, and so
unanimously. this week in Salt Lake
CITY, has clinched the case, and put
Il in clear. distinct light. These sem
tIments are personal, because, what
but fool opinion can you expect from
poor me- | am only anxious for fair
play, and perfect freedom in matters
religious"
The following Is from the talented
daughter OF the President Of the Colo
RADIO Cambrian Society Of Denver.
what q lot OF notorlety Utah Is get
ting these days over the Smo0t case.
Really / am sorry TO see II. People are
SO ignorant Of Utah affairs and awfully
narrow In their judgment Of the Nor
mon people. / often get into a heated
discussion with the students and others
over you Mormons and have many
times wished | understood their creed
little better so as TO make my talk
a little more effective, | never met a
nicer and more hospitable people than
the 'Mormons,' and It grleyes me TO see
the ignorance displayed by the people
East and elsewhere regarding them.
shall be Obliged To you II you Will
send me q Deseret News occasionally
In order that | might keep myself post
ed on the true history OF the SmOot
case"
