The Unwritten Law. by Authur Hem ". A novel of New York is oftenest like a cursory acquaintance of New York, flash of electric lights, long avenues of glimmering gold. crimson, vari-colored lights sweeping in per spective to a glimmering point, glow ing all again in luminous spatters on the asphalt, miles of asphalt Often the New York novel is but a whir of automobiles, a procession of glistening coaches. and high-stepping horses, list of hats, and pages descriptive Of gowns, a lot of puppets prating in up to-date slang and smart expressions. It is rarely New York is the scene of a great novel, a novel of great truths, of serious problems, of genuine people living, suffering, snatching at life's few joys, working, seizing with avidity moments of play This is the real New York full of real people. This is the New York that its dwellers know. This is the New York that MT. Arthur Henry has put into his novel, The Un- written Law"
 Washington Square might be called the bulb of New York The streets leading from it south, penetrate like roots the sources of its life. Fifth Avenue rises out of 1t like a strong straight stalk, supporting the gorgeous flower"
 Exquisite flower of wealth and all the beauty that wealth gives
 Below t.is square is the toll and in trigue; above it Is the beauty and pleasure there produced.
 MT. Henry has crowded and not over crowded his pages with the life of the lower city, with it's types of toilers; and with the models of the upper city, its multi -millionaires. judges, aristo. crats, climbers. fair maidenS and all that go to make up the most unique conglomeration of metropolitan socie- ty.
 The church, the Sunday School. the institution, the charity organization. the police court, the parks. the shops. the streets, the stucents that crowd the boarding houses. the shop girls who aspire, a vast horde of this last all are in these pages. How do all these people get where they are?" asks one of MT. Henry's types; There are so many everywhere"
 The motives that move them, the de- sires that prompt them, the ambitions that urge them, the necessities that spur them are in the pages. So teem- ing are the pages that one reads heart beats and thoughts between the lines
 It Is the parks of New York, central Park for lovers; The entrance way at Fifty-ninth Street, the shaded paths to a lake. and from there to the meadow, the sheep upon the lawn-all contribut- ing to fill them with a sense of the beauty of the world. golden ball and numerous signboards indicating where one might not wander" Ora mercy Park, the only restricted place in free New York, whose locked gate ways become the goal or all the schem- ing Emeline's ambitions and endeavors.

ous distinctions" Neither can I full i'll the other condition of Le Galltenne's that praise Is more important than judgment" No, I am not going to fill up my space with eulogy of the book; btu there are some pleasant things to when I deliver myself of this, shall leave the reader to judge for himself.
 To begin with there are no problems to be solved. the book pretends to be nothing more than a love story. Ap- bearing as 1t does during the summer. the silly season." what more could one ask than to lie Idly in ones hammock. and be amused for an hour by this nar- ration of the life of a belle and her numerous admirers. Might one para phrase and say that the next best thing to being a belle oneself Is to read about some other woman's belleship.
 The love-making between the hero and the heroine q suppose you may SO dignity two of the party) is what might be expected from two young people thrown together in the constant and intimate association such a situation produces. Man before this mas found out that Fate is a feminine divinity that shapes your end" to quote from the book in question.
 There is a tang of good cheer per- vading the book, and not the least thing to harrow your feelings. You have. as said. simply to suffer yourself to be amused for an hour or so. At least. if you haven't tired of the somewhat dominant note the use of the house par ty Is proving to be in recent fiction.
 If those of us who are a trife past our first youth choose to smile at the rapidity with which the young people fall in love with each other, pray let us remember that this at least, is a sweet midsummer madness. and let the memory of that youth teach us to be less strict with ourselves and others" to say something like Goethe.
 All the author means to offer you dear reader, during this very trying weather. is a little mental relaxation. It Is manifestly not a book you are ex- pected to attempt to digest, you merely read for the pleasure of being amused.

 New York Evening Post.
 The agents in Cuba of the American Bible Society in their annual report say that in the last year the three col copies, making a total of s3.390 since 1900.
 "Our trip to the neighboring Isle of Pines." said the report. showed us that the island was ready for the Cos pei, but there are superstitions to de- stroy. One of them is withchcraft The inhuman work of the witches has filled the land with fear and horror. Bocourt, the leading figure of the trag- edy. Is vulgar. ignorant negro, pos- sessing. however, a certain natural power of leadership which has made him the head of cult of witchcraft with notifications throughout the pro- vinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana.
 Associated with him are many witches, and they maintain over the minds of the ignorant people of their own race an ascendency founded upon fear and superstition. Their followers believe blindly in their power and un- hesitatingSy do their bidding, appeal ing to them not only to cure diseases, but to ward of ills from the family. and even to obtain vengeance upon enemies. Among the negroes. those who disbelieve and condemn the prac- tices of the witches are powerless to influence their more superstitious brethren. and can inform against the practitioners of witchcraft only at the peril of their lives.
 "Bocourt represented to a negress called Adela that her dementia was the result of harm done by the whites during slavery times, and could be cured only by the blood of a white child. Juana. another negress, was un- able to raise a child. he said. because of her being enchanted. and she could be cured only by the blood and heart of a white child.
 After holding weird incantations, the refrain of which was:
 "Queremos sangre. sangre de blanca
 para curar Adela,"
 ("we want blood, bloos of white girl.
 to cure Adela.")
 chanted in barbaric rhythm, two of the negroes were selected to secure a child
 Molina, one of them, went to cut palms on the Zuniga farm. adjoining that on which live the three Diaz brothers. each of whom has young children. Having possessed himself of one of these. the little Zoila Diaz, he and the other went to the latter's house and there butchered the child, taking out her heart and collecting her blood in a glass jar. after which the corpse was preserved. probably by first salting and then smoking. The blood and heart were administered to the patients, without any perceptible effect on Adela, while 1t is too early for Juanas faith in their efficacy to be confirmed or shaken.
 The body was subsequently, found in a thicket equally distant from the houses of the perpetrators. They are all in the hands of the police sen fenced in the criminal courts to be garroted"

History.
 The act incorporating the Southern University was passed by the General Assembly of Alabama, January 26th. 1856. The Southern University has from the beginning been owned and controlled by the Methodist Church. and of three magnificent male colleges founded by Methodism in the State of Alabama, 1t is the only one that has been saved to the Church. It Is the property in fee simple of the Alabama Conference. The Faculty and Trus- tees, aided by the friends of the Insti- tuition, purpose that 1t shall remain in point of superior advantages, useful ness and power. the peer of any first class college in the land.
 Ideal Location.
 Located at Greensboro. Alabama, a delightful town of near three thou sand inhabitants, noted for It's marked Southern environment and refined so- ciety, the Southern University has ex- cellent intellectual and moral advan tages. The town Is well supplied with good artesian water. telegraph and telephone systems. electric lights and cherted streets. Four daily passenger cess. By special statue the sale of spirituous liquors Is prohibited.
 Strong Teaching Force.
 We stand for culture. thoroughness and Christian manhood-an education ideal in character and Christian in spirit. It Is the policy of this Insti- tuition to select men for the various Chairs whose moral worth and intel 1ectuai strength. evenly balanced. equip them thoroughly for stimulating young men to reach their highest. The tutelage and influence of such men means more to the student body than words can express.
 Scientific Department.
 Our chemical and physical laborato- rfes have been overhauled and better equipped. so that we are now prepared to do better and more satisfactory work in this department than ever before :. Recently the Trustees authorized the President to spend $1,500 for addition al improvements and apparatus. This with the Improvements already made will put our Science Department in ex- ce1lent condition. An excellent intro- duction to the study of Biology, that most inviting field of modern research, has been provided for and put in the hands of a man specially equipped for that work. This course consists of H. brary, laboratory, and textbook work in Zoology during the Fall term, and in Botany during the spring, thus making one years good work in Biol-
