author. "Jorn Uhl,' by Gustav Frenssen,
translated by +. s. Delmer Dana Estes
& Co., Boston,.
1t Is the story Of Holstein peasants life

put together, and with no quality save its
glOominess 10 distinguish II from dozens
Of other German novels, 80 far as we can
sec, II may be that something is lost in
translation, though this translation reads
as though II were unoommonly we'll done.
While 1t Is possible 10 understand the sale
Of the various books dealing with military
excuses that have appeared, dull as most
Of them were. here there Is nothing to appeal
to the feeling Of the moment, unless dis
content with life as Il Is touches a sympa-
theuo chord among the Kaisers subjects.
The hero IL born with sense Of wrong
and from childhood looks at life with CEN
serious eyes; We cannot help feeling that
his misfortunes are due in part to his point
Of view. Certainly the author helps him
along by making things 60 wrong with no
special reason. The bad people are painted
very black, and the good are not altogether
pleasant. There are bits Of description
Of nature and bits of realism that are well
done, there are occasionally scenes In which
the actors behave naturally, and the reader
can follow the authors idea Of the develop
ment Of the hero's character.
That does not make II a true picture Of
German peasant life or Of German life

The curious thing Is that Germans In

probable. Can It be that the comfortable
German wants TO feel miserable and yearns
to take his pleasures sadly1

Laurence Hnttnn,, Friend,

The late Laurence Hutton had a wide
acquaintance With noted people Of all
kinds, and his "reminiscences OF them would
be interesting In themselves. An added
attraction Is given to Talks in a Library

Moore secu- cd the recollections. She drew
Mr.. Hutton out, writing down what be said
and putting together the articles and other
materials he gave. This gives q chatty,
spontaneous tone to the narrative though
IL helps to make Il somewhat rambling
and desultory.
Here viii be found stories galore about
actors, artists, authors and others Mr..
Hutton knew or met. Here, too, are ac-
counts Of his hobbies, like the death mask
collection and his interest In Helen Kellar.
Many curiosities viii DO found In the numer-
Gus pictures and autographs and other
rarities from his collection. The famous
suppressed passages on Whistler In 'Trilby, |"
for instance, are here printed in full The
book IL full Of interest and has been very
well edited

II Is an attractive dress that has been
selected for the new Biographical edition
of the works Of Robert Louis Stevenson,
published by Charles Scribner's Sons.
There will be twenty-four volumes. which
may be purchased singly, 90 that the buyer
may procure the complete set or merely
the pick, according TO his taste. They are
printed at the University Press in Cam
bridge, a guarantee Of good workmanship
the type is large and clear, the size Of the
volumes very convenient, for they will
slip into the pocket, and the paper is very
good, IL anything a little too heavy.
The three volumes now at hand comprise
the New Arabian Nights Kidnapped
and It's sequel, David Balfour.' To those
whose shelf room Ia limited, and, We fancy,
to all except Stevenson fanatics this oon-
venient little set will be preferable TO large
library editions.
Each volume Is preceded by a short
biographical introduction by Mrs. Ste-
venson. The three provided 90 far seem
10 be Of little Importance. They may
serve the purpose Of oopywriting the
edition, but those who care for Stevenson
himself. we imagine, would prefer to have
his books without them.

There Is a delightful thoroughness about
Mr.. j. B. Firth's Highways and Byways
In Derbyshire' (Aiacmillans). Though put
in the form Of a personal narrative IL is
a guide book, as conscientious as the best
the Germans make, for the author tramps
through the whole county, telling the story
Of every object Of interest he comes across,
with literary and historical quotations.
There are maps to aid the description.
The chief aid to the book, however is
in the charming Illustrations which Miss
Nelly Erichsen has made. They are de-
lightful drawings which come out well
even in the form in which they are repro
duced and which deserved a firstclass
wood engraver. 1t is altogether charming
book that brings the real England close
to the reader.

WOULD HURRY GARFIELD SUIT.
Deishmty Fights Here the Upstate order
for a Stay.

Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman re-
served decision yesterday on a motion
made by Choate, Hanford d Larocque.
as counsel for Lawyer John Delahunty.
to have set aside the order obtained a few
days ago from Justice Forbes, at CanAstota,
staying Dulahunty from proceeding with
one Of his suits against Richard A. Garfield,
the gambling house keeper, pending the
determination Of Canfeld's appeal from
Justice Davis's order denying Canheld's
application TO have the two suits CONSOLE
dated.
Justice Forbes's order was granted ex-
parte, and it refers 70 the action In which
Delahunty sues for SCI, 500, the balance
OF $40 500 which be says Garfield promised
him for services performed on Feb. 10,
1908. in procuring the immediate payment
Of four promissory notes held by Garfield,
aggregating $3.50. OOO and given by one per
son. whose name, however, all parties
seem most anxious 10 conceal.
The other suit il for a balance OF So, O94
which Delahunty claims for long series Of
services beginning with the day Of the
raid by Jerome and ending July /. 1904.
Garfield denies owing him anything and has
a counterolaim for three demand note5
given by Deahunty In 1899 and 1900, totaling
about $40 600. De,ahunty says that he has
paid those notes.
IL turns out, from the argument yester-
day. that Deahunty is anxious to have the
first suit tried at once ahS hopes q have
il placed on the short cause ca 'endaI. The
trial, he AYERS, would not take w M % than
an hour The trial Of the case ould re-
veal the identity Of the note giver.
Ii was to prevent this very move that
Canneld's lawyers went upstate for a stay.
MIR Hanford commended yesterday that
II was against the rules of orderly pro-
oedure for q Justice Of another department
TO issue an order such as that signed by
Justice Forbes. Counsel for Garfield re-
nlied that the action Of Justice Forbes could
not be reviewed by another Judge Of equal
Jurisdiction.
Justice O'Gorman took the application
under advisement.

An Admirable Detective Story

An Admirable Detective Story,
All the requirements for a first
class detective tale are more than met
by Mr.. Fred M. Whites f" The
Crimson Blind" Or. F. Fenno & Co...
1t is by no means a short story, but
the reader will read il breathlessly to
the end. He is plunged at once into
a mystery, as he should be in every
we'll constructed tale of the sort, and
is led rapidly out of one complication
into another, enough being explained
to satisfy his mind for the moment,
but more remaining unaecounted for
till he has read further.
There is little of preternatural wis
dom in the tale; what knowledge is
obtained comes naturally enough
The villain has no redeemlng trait
and is bad enough to satisfy the most
exacting. The play between his
moves and those of his detectives Is
kept in suspense skilfully.

ns sturgeon Caught in Gravesend IA,

Gravesend Bay caught a monster sturgeon
yesterday in his shad nets, the first that has
been taken in the nets in many years.
Gravesend Bay was for many years one Of
the best sturgeon fishing grounds around
New York Gradually this fish was driven
out, principally Il il explained. because
Of the increased ma viRation on tho Hudson

The sturgeon captured measured over six
feet and weighed almost 400 pounds.
