are elassed as the worst leaders in the
realm of fiction in these latter days, by
Rev. George l.. Cady, one of the best
known Congregational ministers in Iowa,
now at Iowa Falls. In discussing the sub

Mr.. Cady severely scores some of the

classed as about the most dangerous. In
following the classification of the above
authors, the speaker says So
There may be some reason for the novel which
leads us TO the brink of hell, If it will help
US to abhor it and the causes leading to it,
but when it leads over and makes US believe
its flames are beds Of roses and the path that
leads hellward is lined with flowers, then moth

LOOMS Good Character.

There is popular impression that

his case any by citing Secretary Hay
from the grave to witness that he, Hay,
disliked Bowen and liked ,Loomis very
much &9S ~ s%# Fl Fl
Even were it true, it might only
prove that Mr.. Hay was mistaken in
his estimates Of the two men. Recent
developments in the asphalt matters go
far to show that if Mr.. Hay were here
he would express a much more conserva-
tive opinion Of Mr.. Loomis' charming
personality than he is credited with in
the president s letter to LOOMS.
Whether Mr.. Hay did or did not die

Venezuela and which disappointed Mr..
Bowen because it included only the
