 It may or 1t may not be tribute to the force of a new writer that the au- thorship of the novel of Southern life, The Circle in the Square," recently published by A. S. Barnes & Co.,, which Is causing so much discussion. has been usually attributed to a man. It is understood. however, that the frequent references to MT. Baldwin Sears imply misapprehension. It is interesting also to note that much attention has been attracted by the different points of view taken by EHen Glasgow and
 Baldwin Sears.
 Howard Pyle, the author and artist. gave a brief discourse before the New Church Club of New York recently in
 which he told how his book, Rejected of Men came to be written. It seems the story in the book is substantially the authors own religious experience, his own individual discovery of the truth.

 The day of the ground-down author is past and gone. There was time when the poor chap sometimes went shivering to his publisher to borrow in advance enough money for square meal, that he might proceed with his work.

Fifty rich men of Chicago get out their

son TO the concerts could not possibly run

expect TO do it here. Very nice, indeed,

Many wealthy persons of this town have
never given one single cent toward the
support of the orchestra. making the ex-
euse that they are not nusic-patroniz,ng
people. It's a shame.
And while we're hoping for better
things. don't let's forget to yearn that
some other rich people won't double and
treble up on boxes this year. as they've
been known to do in the past, but will
buy a whole box outright and invite less
fortunate persons TO sit in 1t if they find

United States Senator Quay.

United States Senator Matthew Stan
ley Quay died from gastrtis at his nome
i'm Beaver, Pa, Saturday, after n long
illness He had been in public life since
his 2lst year, dominated completely the
Republican party of Pennsylvania for
years. and was undoubtedly the greatest
political organizer that America has ever
known. He possessed, however, none of
the qualities of craftsmanship and his
name is not connected with a single
piece of constructive legislation. He was
what is known as a practical politician,
who was in politics "for what there is in
it," and whose eye was single to his own
advancement and power.
He was the son of a Presbyterian cler-
gyman, and at the age of II years grad
uated from Jefferson college He stud
led law was admitted to the bar at 21,
and year later was appointed prothono-
tary of Beaver county, to which office he
was twice elected. He resigned to enlist
in the civil war, where he served with
great distinction as commissary general

1t is apparent that G.. w Pierce of
Brattloboro and j. H. Ware of Towushend
viii Doe the leading candidates for state
senators from Windham county in the
county convention. There Is no indication
at the present time that the nomination
of either will be seriously contested. It
is due them To say, well in advance of
the convention, that we understand the
attitude of both mon toward the license
law to be Identical. Both have always
been supporters of the prohibitory law
and neither has become a convert to Ii
cense but both recognize that the license
law has not yet been in operation long
enough to try itself out on its merits.
As matter of common fairness, to pre-
vent any unjust charge of bad faith or
Inconsistency, and to the. end that the
decision of the people as between license
and prohibition may be final and con-
elusive, they believe that the legislature
of 1904 should amend the defects in the
present law which experience has re-
vealed, making it as effective and restrc-
tive as possible in every way, and give it
a fair trial for another two years Both, if
elected, will work to this end in the leg
islature and will do so in good faith with
out surrender of personal conviction.
