How Mrs. Freeman Writes.

It is always interesting to know the methods of composition of any success full author Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, for example. Is a most careful literary workman, She invariably thinks out the climax of her story first, and then writes without copying and with very little correction. The details of the final scenes of her novels and short stories, even the wording. are clearly in her mind before she begins to write the opening paragraphs Tnat thls me- thod possesses a distinct merit of it's own is clearly shown in the latest work

The chief feature of the exposi- tion will be the response to President Rooseyelt's invitation to all the nations of the earth to send their war-shipsI and soldiers to take part in the com memoration, and which will doubtless be the most remarkable assemblage of the sort in modern history. The United States Army will be represented byI large attachments from all branches of the regular army service, as well asI by militia from all the States of theI Union. The parade-g ground, on which will manoeuvre English, French, Ger man, Italian, Japanese, American, and other soldiers, will cover an area of forty acres and will be partly sur- rounded by a semicircle of buildings representing the different States. The parade-ground will front upon thel roadstead of Hampton Roads, where theI naval exercises will take place. It has been estimated that there will be pre- sent In Hampton Roads during the ex- position United States war vessels representing a cast of S200.00O,o0o. One of the most interesting features of the naval program will be a reproduction of the clvil-war duel between the Monitor and the MeTrimac on the very spot where the original engagement took place.

The Detective in Fiction.
 The detective in literature may claim to be the only. person equally beloved by statesmen and by errandboys, says a writer in the London Academy. ''TAe germ of this fascinating parsonage, destined to play the part of Providence in so many affairs, Is to be found in Poe's Tales of Mystery, translated into French by Baudelaire in 1886. The methods of deduction in which the whole fabric rests are. of course. far more ancient, and were probably we'll understood by prehistoric man. As first imagined the detective stood outside and worked for the love of investfga- ton. This disinterested and slightly amateurish character has hung around the great detective of romance ever since. Even when he sprang into full being in the person of M. Ie Coz almost simultaneously with the publication of Poes Tales in Paris, he retained the characteristic of aloofness from the men of his caste" It is interesting to note that all successful stories of this class have been true to this funda-

Bret Harte a Jew.

H. w. Boynton author of Bret Harte," in the McClure-P Phillips Con temporary Men of Letters Series" de- clares that the most minute search of all documents and inquiries among per- sons who knew Bret Harte, have not enabled him to fix definitely the rumors of Harte's Jewish ancestry. Clements Shorter, editor of The Sphere, takes issue with MT. Boynton and declares there is no doubt about the matter. He writes to an inquirer: T may state that my final authority for Mir. Bret Hartes Jewish origin is his daughter. Miss Ethel Bret Harte. for whom fund was recently raised in London. Mr. Bret Harte In his family circle re- called as a small boy being taken to see the old grandfather, who was very strict Jew and never entirely forgave his son for marrying Christian"

ever applied for a marriage license at
the County Clerks ONCE, according to
Cupid Paul Wuthe. He is so thrifty
that he tried 70 get married on an

HARRIS HOLDS THE

Oakland Judge Has Suffi-
cient Votes to Control

KNOWLAND AS LEADER

OAKLAND. Sept Superior Judge
T. ". Harris holds the winning hand
IN the Republican County Convention
which viii mot tomorrow morning at
Germania Hau. He IS credited with
the control Of thirty-siN out of the
ldftv-efght delegates from the Forty
sixth Assembly district AS those dele
gates are swung so goes the organiza-
tion Of the convention. And upon this
hangs 10 q great extent the battle be
tween Henry p Dalton and Charles E
Thomas for the Republican nomination
q for Assessor.
Thomas claims the Eortyseventh,
Fifty first and Fifty-second districts.
with 10 votes twenty-five ont of the
Forty sixth. making 1872 votes, or
within two Of enough TO nominate him.
He confidently asserts that he will get
enough from the Harris end OF the
Forty sixth to give him more than the
necessary number.
Dalton declares that he has the
Forty gulh. Forty-ninth and Fiftieth,
making l5s. with the Harris votes. S6.
giving him just enough to nominate.
He says this figure win be augmented
by votes from other districts which,
he claims. Thomas cannot hold solidly
against him.
On the eve OF the convention the con-
ditions seem 10 favor a close fight on
the organization. If Harris swings 70
Dalton assuming that the Judge can
hold his thirty-six votes intact, the
convention might be organized against
Thomas and the political end which he
represents. But that side Of the Re
publicans declares the convention VIII

what else may result.
With the Dalton Thomas fight lead

ton is being paid TO the struggle over
District Attorney. Court Commissioner
Clarence Crowell holds the Fiftieth
District and will go into the conven-
ton with it unless there shall be .
Everett Brown has been moving every
The Fiftieth.
Brown made no fight at the primaries
and permitted Crowells friends 10
name the Fiftieth District delegation,
which was elected without opposition,
though Brown is a resident of the dis
trict. II is this situation which gives
rise 10 the sentiment among Crowell s
friends that his opponent has no poiiti-
cal standing before the convention.
The handspring Of Jne whole conven-
tion fight is to wrest control OF the
