Messages and Papers of ths
 Confederacy"

There is no man better known to the Tennessee public than James D. Rich ardson. former congressman from the Fifth Tennessee district, and his position as democratic leader on the floor of tho National House of Representatives made him familiar figure throughout the country. Some years ago MT. Richard son compiled the semi-offclal work known as Messages and Documents of the President which, because of the data 1t contained and the excellent man ner of the compilation. was valuable addition to the United States history. He has now produced another book of similar character, which, though less voluminous will be of equal value with his former work and in some respects of more pointed interest. as 1t covers an acute period in the history of the nation con- corning which historical accuracy is very essential
 MT. Richardsons latest production Is Messages and Papers of the Confeder.. acy. The title suggests the scope of the work. It is the compilation in printed form Of all the official papers of the Con- federate government which fell into the hands of the Federal authorities after the southern armies had evacuated Richmond Comment is unnecessary to suggest the historical value of such work and its g. A>fe NSCAuiHto tO tnOSe WnO nave nOt the means, leisure or inclination to search through files of musty papers In the archives at Washington.
 The work includes the constitution of the Confederate states and the recorded proceedings of the provisional Congress at Montgomery, as well as the messages of the President and other official papers throughout the life of the Confederate government
 very important feature Is the diplo- matic correspondence, which shows, among other things, the efforts made by the Confederate government to obtain re- cognition from the European nations
 The book Is complete in two volumes of convenient library. size and handsome ly bound in red cloth. with gilt lettering. Each volume is embellished with four illustrations. The first presents the Con federate capitol at Montgomery as a

 In the regular an, index whicn cyclopedic syc articles 1.1i E upon the text and explanatory of politico-historica facts are inserted.

 Gentlemen-We have decided to accept the proposition made last month to dispose of the Messages and Papers of the Conferedacy," to Q coterie of the most prominent southern newspapers--youTs among the number. Nothing but the im- mense number of sets involved induced us to accept the offer. The first cost of the book was very large Extreme care was used in it's production even after 1t was compiled-as an instance-it was proof read nine times to insure excluding the most minute errors.
 Not set has been sold except in cases of small discount for cash for less than T in cloth or s11 in half leather binding since the work was issued last year.
 This work stand unique among books in as much as it has had no predecessor. has no competitor and ca a1ot possibly have a successor. Yet f powers most vital and interesting por in southern history. It. is the only K ever pub lshed as a private enter under reso7( lution of Congress.
 The public in your should cer,& tainly appreciate you. ic spirit az eagerly grasp the tenra .-g opportu " you offer them to O A4tus work. We can absolutely gus' pfhat they wir, never have simla Ace. Yours very truly,

Columbus, O., Nov. 5.-Interest in To- cal fights and in the contest over the congressional delegation have comoin- cd to take attention away from the state tickets, minor offices only being voted for tomorrow. Democratic Chairman Garber claims a plurality of l9,O0O for his ticket, with gains in con gress, while Senator Dick, chairman of the republican committee, maintains that his party will not only retain all its congressman, but will also keep the democratic districts won two years ago The interest in the republican demand that President Roosevelt be given a re- publican congress was intensified to- day when telegram was given out at Cincinnati in which the president ad- vised his son-in-law, Congressman L3ngWorth5 to have printed what Sec retary Root had said of him, and what he had written to Congressman Watson as 6 means of showing his desire for a republican house The bitterest fight in the state isoprobably that in Hamilton county over the circuit and common pleas judges.

 Classic Tragedy.
 Theatergoers accustomed to Julia Marlowe's work in romantic plays on the order of "When Knighthood Was in Flower" or in hoydenish parts like ''The Tanning of the Shrew," the spirit ual insight and power which she dis played last night in Jeanne D'Arc'' must have come as a revelation. This play (the first verse-drama by the way, written by an American which has ever been competently produced) is a sue cession of tremendous emotional eli maxes, which it would strain the re- sources of any artist to realize. Miss Marlowe, however, realized them in a way that showed qualities undreamed of by the critics who three or four years
