 Is Mrs. Ward a satiristf London Is passing judgment as to the truth of the pictures of English social life which Mrs. Ward has drawn in The Marriage of William Ashe.

aConstance Trescot,,

pr. s. Weir Mitchelrs new novel, Constance Prescott" has followed so closely upon his Youth of Washing ton" that the public may get the idea that Dr. Mitchell is a rapid writer; but the facts are quite the reverse. Dr. Mitchell has rewritten Constance Trescot" three times in the past three years. The manuscript was put into type for the first time two years ago. and a single set of page proofs was struck off on large paper" and bound up for the author, who worked for year on these page proofs. So many changes were made that the book was entirely reset for issue. Dr. Mitchell believes that Constance Tresc cot" contains the best work he has done or will ever do.

1 when SCnuDerC BrOLnerS were aDOuL to publish their new dramatic maga- zine, they asked John Kendrick Banks to contribute a poem. MT. Banks, re- calling his recent theatrical experience, when the Casino. in New York, was burned during the run there of his play Lady Teazle," wrote as follows
 T do not often do the thing, | But once I wrote a play
 They had to burn the theatre | To keep the folks away"
 l The Worsted Man Is an amusing lit- tie operetta, in MT. Bangs best style. It Is full of catchy refrains set to vari- | ous wellknown airs from the lighter operas, and Is exceedingly well adapted to amateur theatricals.
 | Justin Huntly McCarty's new novel, | The Dryads, just published, well sus- tains the reputation of this author and playwright. The whole conception of The Dryad is daring. but MT. McCar- thy has so we'll mastered the clements of romance and imagination, and cloth ed them with strong human interest. that the illusion of reality, upon which a fanciful tale must always depend for its effect, is never for a moment lost.
 That Justin Huntly Mccarthy. author of of I Were King" The Proud Prince" and others, is frequently con fused with his father. Justin McCar- thy. Is not surprising, since besides be- ing of the same name, they are both historians, both novelists, and both have been members of Parliament. It is, however, as an historian that the elder Mccarthy Is best known as the author of the famous History of Our Own Times" and though Justin Huntly AF-(N II writing verse and history, it was through the historical romance and drama, If I were King that he sud denly leaped into popularity. The es- sential quality of Justin McCarthy's novels has always been dramatic; his books present a swift succession of clear-cut scenes with telling dialogue, that requires but little rewriting to fit 1t for the stage. Mir. E. H. Sothern, in ''The Proud Prince" and If I Were King" will long be remembered by the atre-g -goers, for seldom has this talented actor been fitted with parts more suited to his versatile gifts.
 Justin Huntly Mccarthy was born in 1860, and though yet a young man he looks even younger than he is. He was educated at University College in Eng land ,and afterwards become q journ- alist. He has travelled extensively in Europe, Egypt, the Holy Land. and the United States. In 1881 he began writ ing books. When but "A he was elect ed member of Parliament. and retained his seat until 1S92--a period of eight years. After the defeat of Parnell he left Parliament, and devoted himself to literary work. Besides being an au- thor, he is also well known as a lec- turer and dramatic critic As A pub lie speaker he is extremely witty. MT. Mccarthy Is fond of athletics, his fla vorite recreations being bunting, cy- cling, and playing golf. He is a mem Der of prominent clubs on both sides of the Atlantic.

F. S. Martin on Easter Customs.

Mir. B. $. Martin, In characteristic paper which he contributes to the cur rent Harper's Weekly on an Easter topic, writes entertainingly of the change which has come over the char acter of New York's Easter Parade" and of the real spirit of Easter. MT. Martin tells how the Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue has changed within the last ten years from a fashionable promenade to a motley spectacle of curiosity seekers. Formerly. 1t was representative of the best of New York's population; now its elements are drawn from every quarter of the city, while the real paraders of a de- cade ago have taken to Madison and other avenues.

Ernst Won wolzogen, the German

Ernst Won Wolzogen. the German artist whose famous story, "Das Dritte Geschlecht." (The Third Sex). is about to be published in this country passed the early years of his life in England. Indeed, he spoke English be- fore he knew the German language, and his interest In English letters has always been keen. It is rumored that he is about to come to this country for a lecturing tour. If he does he will then be able to tell for himself how far he was correct in the pictures he drew of American life in a story he once wrote about New York. His fame in Germany is so well established that he is recognized as one of the ablest living men of letters In the Fatherland. His Kraft -Mayr" is perhaps the finest musical novel in any language In his earlier life he devoted himself a great deal to the study of music. though his students career in Strasburg and Leip- zig universities was a distinguished one. He has just contributed a very humorous story entitled. "The Gloria Brooches" to the first number of the T ew magazine, Tales.

JOHNSON REFUSES
TO HOLD UP LIST
VAN SAINT APPOINTMENTS WILL
BE SENT TO SENATE SOON.
Governor Says He Has Never Had ANY
Intention of Taking Advantage of the
Technical Opportunity, by Which He

Clerical Work Is Heavy.

Governor Van SAINT g recess appoint
ments will be sent to the state senate
for confirmation not later than
Wednesday morning. They would have
been. sent in before, but the task of
copying the names of 5000 notaries has
been working the governor IS force over
time.
Governor johnson said this morning
that he had never had the slightest in
tention Of holding up the list It was
only an oversight that the names were
not sent in by Governor Van SAINT. The
list is long one. It includes the en-
tire membership of the game and fish
commission, the grain board of~appeals,
the live stock sanitary board, the board
OF optometry, the board of osteopathic
examiners, nine members Of the state
board of equalization, fftyone state

Democratic leaders have suggested
that the governor hold up this list till
the senate has confirmed the appoint
ment of John E. King. He will not con
slider the suggestion, but says the list
will go in regardless Of the way the
senate treats his own appointments.

GRAIN RATE CONFERENCE
IT MAY BE HELD THIS WEEK.
MINNEAPOLIS AND CHICAGO
BOTH AFTER 1T.

Some time this week, If it can be
brought about, a meeting of eastern and
northwestern railroad men will be held
to take up the matter of rates on grain
now affecting Chicago so seriously. Chi
cago wants such conference. Mime
apolis meanwhile has been moving for a
meeting to act upon her own claims for
rate REIMBURSEMENT Out of it all some
thing important is expected to come.
Chicago, in her first complaint, cited
the competition Of gulf ports and of Min
neapolis. Mainly her grievance is against
northwestern lines, as is shown in later
cited instances of alleged discrimination.
The Minneapolis competition, admittedly
important in itself, is in second place now
only because the loss Of tonnage to the
Gulf ports is SO much more serious as to
bel a vital matter In striking at this
southwestern and gulf competition against
Chicago, moreover, the Chicago men
would get in a side slap at Minneapolis
for, within a year or two, Minneapolis
firms have invested large sums in the
southwest, buying lines Of country ele-

SALOONS WILL Be
CLOSED TOMORROW
MAYOR PROCLAIMS IT A SPECIAL
ELECTION DAY.
His Successor as Alderman from the
Fifth Hill Be Voted in Then-Law
Prohibiting Sale Of Liquor When
Polls Are Open Makes No Exceptions.

Under the laws Of the state every sa-
loon and all other establishments deal
ing in liquor must be closed tomorrow,
as the fifth ward will vote then for
an alderman to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of David p. Jones.
Apparently when the law was prepared
no one thought to make exceptions for
special ward elections.
Superintendent of Police Doyle says
he understand that the law applies to
the whole city and this being his I'M
derstanding it will be enforced that
way.
Thte mayors proclamation is non
cOmmittal on this point. He proclalms
the day, "a special election day in the
fifth ward,' and adds: "And I do es-
pecially call attention to said sections
Is, II and Is of chapter 292, General
Laws Of 1901, relating to liquor and sa-
looms on election day.. The provisions
Of law above referred to for the pro-
lection of election day will be strictly
enforced.'
Section 16 prohibits anyone from Civ
ing away or disposing of liquor about
the polling places and compels the cleo
ton officials to confne their drinking
to nonintoxicants. Section II is the
general provision against the sale of
liquor on election day and provides that
all bars must be closed during the
voting hours. Section Is requires the
mayor on penalty of $1,000 fine or six
months in jail to issue proclamations on
this subject.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY
GIFTS$39,325,240
Of This Large Amount Almost
~ $30,000,0o0 Is Spent in the
United States. ~

New York, Jan. 16:---AndrewC Carnegie
has given and pledged $39, 1926 ,240. for
the erection of 1890 library buildings,
according to figures furnished by Mr..
Carnegie s private secretary: =.
The statistics are particularly inter.
esting as showing that IS per cent OF
the English speaking population of the
books, fifty housed, thru the generosi-
ty Of the ironmaster.
Of the 1890 libraries thus established
779 are in the United States, and the
cost of the institutions in all countries
lows: United States, $29,094,080, or
three-fourths Of the whole; England,
$SS,ooQ9ii90099ii SIS Scotland $2'oooooo; Can
It is a condition Of library activity
and usefulness that there shall be some
density of population at the nucleus,
and it is a condition Of Mr.. Carnegie's
gifts also that the communities supplied
shall expend annually sum equal to 10
per cent of the cost of the building for
the maintenance and upkeep Of the
libraries; that is, for books, library
service and repairs. In other words, a
town accepting $4,000 building must
keep the library going. AS this money
has to be raised by taxation it becomes
a common interest. Everybody has a
share in it, everybody feels at liberty
to use the library, and everybody is
interested in it's good administration.
Here is comprehensive table show
ing among other things that the total
negie libraries have been installed
amount to more than l30,000,000, Of
which more than 24,000,000 have access
to the Carnegie libraries: ..- .-...[.
