In Boston yesterday Gen. Nelson A.
Miles emphaticallv denied the printed
runnor of his engagement to Mrs. Rush
Shippen Huidekoper, a wealthy widow,
of Philadelphia. He was much annoyed
by the rumor, and to the reporter said;
You may say, first, that there is not
one word of truth in 1t, and. second.
that this is not the first rumor OF this
kind that has been started, and 1t Is
certainly very annoying to me- am

"The Venus of cadiz."

This is a good love story. by Richard
Fisguill-the kind tnat whiles away a
summer day and gives genuine, we'll
sustained pleasure during the reading
The Cadiz of the story is in Kentucky,
amid the romance, the hills the blood
hounds. and the good horses OF that
State Venus is wholesome Ken
lucky beauty. with the right allow
esce of sentiment found In the aver
age American girl
The story tells of bashful suitor who
has gone into the enterprise of raising
mushrooms IN Kentucky cave, but
who has also begun correspondence
with Kentucky girl because his author
friend in New York has forwarded him
a letter from the girl eompiimenting
the authors last book. From this cor
respondence emanates the situations
and puzzling encounters that make up
the story. Finally, the bashful suitor's 8
identity Is revealed to the Venus and
they are happy ever after.
Strong as Is the plot of the book,
which sustains the interest throughout.
its great charm lies In the art and ex-
quisite wit with which the story Is
told Not superfuous word en-
cumberS the progress OF events. As the
chapters unrol, 1t is evident that the
author knows his Kentucky and his
fellcw-man. Helping along the action
of the novel are the authors pungent
and brilliant remarks and criticisms of
his personages. The book shows fin
ished knowledge of the art of writing
and Is devoid of the ear-marks OF care
lessness, which mar 50 many OF the
modern works.
The most prominent character of the
story is Timothy Stone. the retiring
lover. He is an ugly man, and, as the
| author explains, suffers all the agony
that comes to the lot OF natures un-
blessed. The descriptions Of his blue
! moods. with his reflections on his
faults. are a series of pen pictures url-
surpassed by any modern writer. An
other remarkable, and novel, feature Is
the portrayal of Jean Jacques Tourne-

Mrs. Rogers ReprieVe.

The long reprieve obtained for Mrs.
Mary Rogers through the agency Of
the United States circuit court, a
reprieve during which many things
may happen will be hailed by senti-
mentalists as victory Of sex over
law. 1t is nothing of the sort, how
ever. The clever and indefatigable
counsel for the woman have actually
raised law points Of sufficient strength
to induce a hard-headed judge to
permit them to go on appeal to the
Supreme Court Of the nation; had
their client been man, they would
undoubtedly have labored just as dill
gently and ably. They have triumphed
for the time being because they knew
just what sort Of law to invoke
Whatever plea they made on the basis
Of sex was merely wasted breath.
Now comes considerable extern
sion OF life for Mary Rogers. Be
tween this and the time when the
United States Supreme Court can
pass on her case. a new session Of
the Vermont Legislature will be held
and therein will come the supreme
test Of public opinion A bill will
be introduced abolishing capital pun
ishment, and, if it passes, Mrs. Rogers
will be included In it's provisions, OF
course. If it fails, and the Supreme
Court denies her petition, she must
die on the gallows. The anti-hang-
ing campaign will be long and Wig
orous, and representatives will very
likely be elected or defeated on that
issue alone.
Every man or woman, convicted OF
| not. should have the benefit of every
safeguard the law permits If Mrs
Rogers has not been treated with alb
solute regularity, she should have a
new trial. The highest court in the
land will decide that point Mean
time little less Of the lady from
the hysterical portion Of the press
would be highly appreciated.
