Shining Ferry" by A. T. Quiller-Couch
Published by Charles Scribner's Sons
Mr.. Quiller-Couch has written a long
list of Volumes which have enjoyed a
due share of favor. His best work is in
the line of literary criticism, and 'Ad-
ventures in Criticism is the best posi-
bly, of all his work. His latest piece of
fiction, Shining Ferry, is just from
the press, and the scene of the story is
laid in Cornwall, England. This is a
section of country most familiar to the
author and his characters are true to
the sturdy, eccentric qualities of this
picturesque portion of Great Britain.
Mr.. Quiller-Couch is student of hui
man nature and his stories will be more
highly appreciated by those who enjoy
character analysis, and the motives and
peculiarties of people John Rosewarne
must certainly be placed among these
eccentric individuals who surround a
kindly deed with gruffness and surly
words that II is almost impossible TO be-

old gentleman, too, is reflective and not

The contents of this volume entitled
Life Illumined' were. originally col
lected by the author without thought of
publication. 1t is collection of jewels
of thought from various authors-words
of counsel, remonstrance, of encourage
ment and sympathy. IN the preface the
author writes that many of the extracts
have been taken from the private cor
resnondence of the authors, where the
nersonal opinions and experiences and
the deepest thoughts are more freely
disclosed The quotations are arranged
under a variety of headings.
Upon Adversely one thought is quoted
from Washington Irving: Little minds

WASHING
TONLETTER

From Our Regular Correspondence.
WASHINGTON. D. O.. July 10
The cotton scandal in the Depart.
ment of Agriculture continues to oc-
cupy the attention of the public in
Washington to the exclusion of prac.
tically all other interests, and furth.
er developments are looked for daily.
The President has taken the entire
matter out Of the hands of Secretary
Wilson and placed it in charge of the
Department of Justice which, with
the assistance of the secret service.
is conducting a dual investigation.
n for the purpose of securing sufi.
Gent evidence to c u the indict.
e by the grand jury of Edwin s.,
Holmes. the dismissed associate sta.
tistician, the other, for the purpose Of
ascertaining If there are any other
guilty employees in the Bureau of Sta
tistics. The utmost secrecy is being
thrown around the investigation and
few details reach the members of the
press, apart from the daily assurance
that the President has ordered that
the matter be proved to the bottom
and that no guilty man be permit.
ted to escape.
The action of the President has
beef construed in some quarters to
indicate that he proposes asking for
the resignation of Secretary of Agri.
culture James Wilson, but that con.
struction does not seem to be war.
ranted. 1t is possible that this affair
may demonstrate to the President
that Mr.. Wilson is less competent to
handle men and conduct the affairs
OF a great department than he has
been popularity supposed to be, but 1t
Is hardly likely that the Chief. execu.
tive will go so far as to pry the Sec.
rotary Of Agriculture loose from his
position, while the President may do
what he pleases and Mr.. Wilson=wlll
never see in the actions Of his prlnci.
pal occasion for resentment, much
less for resignation.
The opinion of the officials charged
with the investigation is becoming
daily stronger that John Hyde, chief
OF the Bureau of Statistics, will be
to resign when the ~investiga-
ton Is completed. not that Mr.. HYDE
has been guilty Of any improper prac.
tice, but merely because he has dem.
onstrated in a superlative degree his
incapability and his lack of admins
trative ability. Those familiar with
the inside affairs of the Bureau de.
clare that an investigation of its af.
fairs will reveal numerous instances
OF grossly bad judgment on the part
of Mr.. Hyde, instances of favoritism
and supine faith in employees who Ill
deserve his confidence. Secretary
Wilson appears to be sublimely un.
conscious of the gravity of the affair,
and of the necessity of parting with
Mr.. Hyde, but the President is keenly
alive to the e%xigences of the situation
and has intimated that he purposes
to take drastic measures to prevent a
repetition of the offense.
Secretary Wilson has devised a
scheme which he believes will pre-.
vent any repetition of the scandal.
and SO it may for a time, but there is
no getting away from a fact It is
impossible to conduct work of this
character without trusting some off,

scandals are a Secretary and a chief
of division who are sufficiently accu-

Arrangements are now practically
complete for the converting of the
peace conference under what are re-
garded as ideal conditions, conditions
particularly ideal because they Will
make it next to impossible for the
newspaper correspondents to secure
accurate accounts OF the negotiations.
The result Is bound to be a great
number of what are called think
s%tories," that is, dispatches written
wholly from the imagination of the
correspondents. The meetings of the
conference are to be held on an island
owned by the government, which is
situated at the mouth Of the Pisca-
taqua river. which divides Maine
from New Hampshire. This island
constitutes the Portsmouth Navy
Yard. and no n can land there with
out a permit from the commandant
of the navy yard. and it is assumed
that these permits will be difficult to
obtain while the conference is in SEES
sion. The plenipotentiaries will all
reach New York early in August. at
the latest, and after calling on the
President at Oyster Bay will proceed
at once to Portsmouth and proceed to
business. AS there will necessarily
be extensive communication between
the congerees and their home gov
ernments and even the cable to Japan
is not fast, 1t is assumed that the
negotiations will be prolonged and
tedious"
1t is expected that an effort will be

1t is expected that an effort will be
made in the next Congress to secure
an increase of salary for members of
the Presidents Cabinet, and Congress
should respond to the effort. 1t Is alb.
horrent to the democratic ideas OF
this country that all but rich men
should be debarred from serving in
the Cabinet because the compensa.
ton offered is insufficient to permit
of a poor mans accepting a Cabi.
net place. and yet 1t is absolutely
impossible for a member Of the Cabf.
net to live on the $4,000 a year which
a Cabinet position pays. A member
of the Cabinet cannot rent a suitable
house in Washington for less than
$4,000 a year, and they are hard to
find at that. Most members of the
Cabinet, unless they own their
houses, pay $4,000 or $4,000 a year
rent, and the remainder of their sala-
rles goes for servants and official en-
tertainments which they are bound
to give, the result being that they
must practically have enough to live
on yer and above their salaries.
