 s'Azalirn" is a very interesting TO- nance of old Judea. by Mark Ashton, published by l.. c. Page and Company, Boston. It has for it's chief character one of the most striking figures in his tory, the wicked daughter of the king of Tyre and wife of Ahab, King of Iz- rael MT. Ashton was led to write the novel by an apparent tendency in modern Christianity to neglect, if not ment. With this fact before me- he adds, "a strong desire came to write a book that might at once excite and re- vive an interest in the events and char acters of old Bible history" "Azalim' treats of the career of Jezebel and her ultimate punishment and horrible death. The first half of the story is de- voted to her career before she became queen, and in part she figures in the story as in history; and the general outline follows Biblical lines. The wicked but beautiful and accomplished Jezebel is in addition represented as at the age oe seventeen living in Damas- GUS and falling in love with a hand some young Syrian captive, Azalim. the hero of this story. AzaIim was Jew
 ish, shepherd from Gilead. Jezebers father was then the high priest of the great temple of Baabec. and possessed both great power and great wealth, and he, moreover, let his daughter, the ann bilious Jezebel, have her own way com pletely. So she bought the young shep- herd from his master, having fallen in love with him. Azalim repelled her ad- vances at first, as he loved Jewish maid who had promised to be his bride. But the artful Jezebel conveys false in
 formation to the object of her passion, leading him to believe that his affianced bride is unfaithfu to him, and in his indignation he turns to, Jezebel. An elopement and secret marriage follow But JezebePs passion for her handsome sheep herder soon cools and her ambi- tion to become a queen develops and grows apace. Incidentally by her seheming she secures a throne for her father and later commits murder,- all this before she attains the summit .of her ambition by becoming Ahab's queen. The plot of the story is very ingenious and admirably constructed, the characters and descriptions of the life of the times are skilfully drawn, and the story is a fascinating one. The frontispiece is in color from rare old print representing Jezebel and the oth- CT illustrations were selected from wall uable plates. Price $1.50; for sale by the Pease-Lewis Co.

SOME OF THE LATEST BOOKS OF
 THE SEASON.

A readable story is Port Argent. by Arthur Colton.-he of the fine '.Tio- ba Tale, -published by Henry Holt and Company. New York. It is a dra- matic tale of few weeks in western river. town that is having a boom, un- dergoing an upheavaI of it's streets, a development of it's suburbs, with build ing lot schemes, sewer and paving grabs, and all sorts of local politics. The hero is the clear headed, level headed, sagacious Richard Hennion, popular young contractor and civil en- gineer Other leading characters are Alcott Aidee, preacher and reformer; '.Marve' Wood, the boss, genial, plaus- 'ible. shrewd and ingenious; Hicks, the anarchist, socialist and so on; and Miss Ailly Champney, daughter of the aged chief aristoerat and oldest patrician of the young town. Milly is beautiful and capricious, somewhat shallow, easily led by speciols theories, and turns deaf ear to Hennion's endeavors to win her heart and hand until the awaken ing comes at last. The preacher rants and tries to reform the town in his fashion and correct glaring evils. His rantings and denunciations of evil are misinterpreted by one of his hearers. who thereupon shoots Wood, the town despot, who, with all his faults, was an upbuilder and a public spirited boss. Wood seemed to care more to be known as the man who ran the town than for the money he got out of it, which he spent freely, and when he was mur-
 dered it was found that he died poor
 man. There are two murders, one sui
 eide and a great deal crops out con- cerning equality, liberty, fraternity, etc
 The story is told at a gallop in places,
 but is intense and shows real power; and as a picture of abuses of power and l the motley "madding crowd' during
 boom times in a new and growing city it is certainly vivid and dramatic.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-The cruis

just reached Vladivostok after the
battle with the Japanese squadron of
Tsu islands Sunday last, narrowly es
capped the fate of their sister ship, the
RuFik. A dispatch from Vladivostok

He was standing on the bridge of the
Rossia when it was wrecked by a
shell.
The two Russian cruisers were lit
orally riddled, their guns and engines
being partially dismounted.
The escape of the Russian vessels
from Admiral Kamimura's four ar
mored cruisers is regarded as a won
derful piece of luck. 1t is presumed
that the pursuers of the Russian ships
did not dare go far north, fearing that
some of the vessels of the Port Arthur
squadron would break through the
straits of Korea.
There is no confirmation of the re-
port that the cruisers Pallada and
Diana have reached Vladivostok and
the admiralty has no news bearing on
the whereabouts of the other vessels
of the late Rear Admiral Without s
squadron.

SEEKS HAYS COUNSEL.
Chinese Minister Confers With Secre-

Chinese Minister confers With secre-
tary of State.
Washington, Aug. 19.-Sir Chentung
Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister,
called at the state department during
the day for conference with Mr..
Hay, which lasted some time. AL
though the minister said he called pri-
marily on another matter he admitted
that the question of China's neutrality
was under discussion and there is rea-
son for believing this subject occu-
pied the major portion of the confer
ence. The minister did not attempt
to conceal his belief that the problems
presented to China in the last few
days by the presence of Russian rep
resentatiVes in Chinese waters were
exceedingly serious, nor did he at
tempt to deny that the situation might
lead to serious consequences. He de-
MED, however, that he brought any
specific instructions from his own gov
ernment, but he is naturally desirous
of keeping his government posted on
the attitude of the United States in
this matter and it can be stated that
the real object of the minister's
presentation of this subject to Secre-
tary Hay was to secure the latter's
counsel for transmission to Peking.
The Chinese authorities have the
greatest confidence in the disinterested
advice Of the secretary and have ap-
pealed to him repeatedly when the
Peking government was ia trouble.
