Well-told detective stories are al
ways fascinating. THE barrow Mys-
terry" is a detective story of a new
sort, and of more than average pow
err. On the cover. under the title,
there is the imprint of thumb mark,
suggesting "Puddenhead Wilson's"
mode of detection. But that is about
all of Mark Twain that is suggested
by the volume. The book is divided
into five episodes and fifteen chap
tiers, each of which holds the atten-
tion of the reader closer, If possible,
than the one preceding it. At the
beginning there is a murder. The
story takes one through mazes that
are mystifying and thrilling until the
last chapter is reached. At times dur
ing the course of the story the reader
imagines that it is easy to guess what
follows and what the ending will be.
But the flattering JUNCTION is always
disappointed, and altogether unexpect-
ed deductions and results are pre-
scented. The book should be we'll liked

Run Like Hotels.


The visitor was right Some Of the
big clubs in New York are primarily
hotels with restaurant attachments),
though available to members only.
This is especially true of the Metro
politan, the University, the Union, the
Union League, the Manhattan, the
Players, the Democratic, the Republi-
can, the New York Athletic, and at
least score of others that might be
named. Some of their houses are
larger than the average hotel and
many of them extremely splendid in
their appointments and luxurious in
their fittings.
1t is doubtful whether there is a
larger club in this city than the New
York Athletic. It's membership is
$500. It's clubhouse is at the corner
of Sixth avenue and Fifty-ninth
street, and it fronts on Central Park.
Its office" resembles the office of a
big hotel exactly. 1t has scores of
sleeping rooms and a safe and smok-
ing room eXcelled in size by those of
not more than two or three hotels in
New York. 1t deals in wines, liquors
and cigars exactly as a wholesale
liquor and cigar house would do.
A large number of its members live
in the house and others-non-residen
members-put up there when in town
instead of at one of the hotels. It's
financial transactions each year are
very large-an idea of them is pre-
scented in the fact that its receipts ex-
ceeded its expenditures by about
$4,000 in 1903
The Athletic Club
From all this the reader may i'm
agine that the New York Athletic
Club is chiefly a social organization,
and in truth so it is But this doesn't
mean that athletics as such are neg
lected by the club. The truth is that
it is the leading club in the whole
world from the purely athletic stand
point. Its various athletic teams are
larger and its athletes are generally
better men than the athletes
put to the front by other
clubs. It's trophies are very
prominent features of most of it's
rooms. They include all sorts of ban
ners, flags, medals, loving cups and
that sort of thing, while its gymna-
stun, bowling alleys and swimming
tank are of the latest and most expen-
sive types. At short intervals the
whole year through, athletic contests
are held under its auspices. winter
swimming contests, made possible by
its big swimming tank, being a spe-
cialty.
All its winter contests are held at
its house in the city, but in the warm
weather the contests are held on
Travers Island, on Long Island Sound.
On this island the club has a country
house of quite as high grade in its way
as its city house. On the grounds sur
rounding the house are facilities for
playing every conceivable outdoor
game except golf-there would surely
be golf links were the island
big enough. Barring Chicago,
there is no city in this country that
has an athletic club TO compare in
any sense with New York's. and in
the comparison between the two New
York easily keeps the lead. Outside the

The first thing he did on reaching
New York was to go to a friend with

down into the subway. He entered
that hole in the ground south of Full
ton street, and he tramped through
the mud-for the bottom of the half
completed tunnel is covered with a
mixture of earth and water-for fully
half a mile, emerging at the bridge
entrance. When he came out he was
covered with earth. He had smashed
his hat and he had to pay half dol
lar to get his clothes brushed and his
shoes cleaned. Even then he looked
far from presentable, and ii is doubt
full whether his overcoat Will ever
again look as natty as 1t did before
he made his subterranean journey.
1t was then lunch time, and as soon
as he had paid the required visit TO a
restaurant, he jumped on a Third ave-
niue car, transferred at the proper
cross street to reach the New York
entrance of the Williamson suspen-
sion bridge over the East river, and
walked across that structure and back.
Then he took a trolley car south to
the old Brooklyn bridge, walked across
it and back and then presented him

of the tear, the soulfulness of the sob.
1t isn't so. Some hundreds of years
ago, when relatively few people could
read, and they constituted the elegant
and leisure class, with time to spare
and to kill, there was reason for the
slow-moving story bedecked with rib
bons and ruff1es of rhetoric. But in
these days readers want action. They
want, too, something left for their i'm
agination. Mr. Morgan gives attention
to both of these points. He moves
the story along sometimes by years at
a leap, and doesn't assume the reader
to be too dull of intellect to fill in
the interval. There is much in giving
your reader credit for intelligence,
even if he should, perchance, not pos
sess it. Mr.. Morgan's story will at
tract attention and be read with more
than ordinary interest.

sues in the Southern States. The au-
thor is citizen of Montgomery, Ala,
and brings to the considerat ton of the
topics he treats the advantages of long

an idea of the scope of the work. They
are: THE Old in the New; The
Schools of the People; A Constructive
Craftsmanship; The Industrial Revival
and Child Labor; Child Labor and the
Industrial South; The South and the
Negro; A Narrative of Cooperation;

The Players and Universaty.
There is one famous club in New
York with a class title that is far NOR
misleading, and that is the Players
founded by Edwin Booth, presumably
for actors, but now with an actua
membership that is almost wholly non.
professional. The Players Club is g
prosperous organization, though by ne
means so large as the New York Ath-
letic, and neither of them is specially
exclusive, though the initiation fee o.
800 in each case is big enough to scare
off good many.
Both the University Club and the
Union League Club exact an initiation
fee just three times as large as thai
of the New York Athletic and the
Players.
The Union League is a hard club tc
enter for many reasons besides its high
entrance fee. The political faith Of the
applicant must be Republican, as thai
of the applicant to the Manhattan must
be Democrat.
The waiting list Of the Union League
Club is very large. possibly the largest
in the city, and a very considerable
number of those who make application
for membership withdraw their names
before they are ever voted upon. thus
avoiding the black ball which is ever
ready for those who are not strictly
agreeable to the extremely conserva-
tive element which dominates the club

THAT CONVENTION CALL.

What is the Republican Central
Committee driving at and how long
before ii will arrive?
This question has naturally arisen
in consequence OF meeting night
passed for want of quorum and the
adjourned meeting of Saturday lasting
well towards midnight without reach.
ing decision on the moot question OF
regularity, and passing convention call
altogether.
The Bulletin ventures the prediction
that there Is not State or Territorial
committee of the mainland that has
not ere this set the date for Its cons
vention TO nominate delegates to the
national convention. Aside from what
others may do however there would be
no cause to quarrel with delay II
there appeared 10 be any necessity for
IL. The unusual rain and the war In
the Orient is of course disconcerting.
The people have something to talk
about besides politics but that does
not furnish competent explanation.
though the proper one may be nothing
more serious.
Except for an old gang that let's go
hard and is secretly whetting its
knives for the Governor and possibly
& few others who are laying plans.
there is comparatively little interest
politically among the rank and file.
We leave II to the party managers TO
say whether this is or is not healthy
political condition. 1t does not wipe
out the fact that 1t is high time action
was taken to determine the time aud
place for holding the primaries and
convention preliminary to representa-
ton in the National convention, and
instructions sent to the district and pre-
cinct leaders of the Territory, Party
men naturally look to Chairman Crabbs
for action, but Mr.. Crabbe is one man
and when 1t comes to general COM
mittee meeting we know of no means
by which he can prevent the commit
tee from spending the time discussing
exclusively questions of regularity.
A little political snap and energetic
action will quickly accomplish what
is needed. Let us have the action.
