Senator George r. Malby. Of St. Lawrence
County, visited Republican State Headquarters
yesterday. He said there was no Higgins boom
in the northern part Of the state. but that the
Governor if renominated, would we'll and
get heavy vote. He had heard almost no talk
Of other candidates for the Republican nomina-

itself.
The Democratic situation, Senator Malby said
different. There was little Jerome senti-

The oldtime Democrats are ready to swallow

have been out so long they'll take any chances

BOOK 0LuTToNY NOW A FAD
Lord nosebery Elucidatss on Wise
Beading and the Sin Of Boe-
rowing Books.

In speech made at the opening
of a new Carnegie library in Lon
don Lord Rosebery said: Knowl-
edge is power, but that does not
necessarily mean book wnowl-
edge. Book knowledge is only a
part of the knowledge that consti
tutes power. Books are excellent
things; it would be high treason to
deny that, coming here to open a
free library; but a glutton of books
is just as bad as surfeit of any
thing else, and there are a great
many excellent people in this world
who spend all their days in read
ing and who are of no use to them
selves or to anybody else.
The fact is that an appetite for
reading without digesting is as un
wholesome as any other form of
gluttony. The man of vigorous
life among men would beat the
man of Books always and at every
thing in this world. Libraries,
however, give them the tools with
which they can work out their own
salvation.
Mr.. Gladstone, by the aid of i'm
mense industry, was perhaps the
only man l have ever known who
was able to adjust the balance be-
tween his life of study and his life
of action satisfactorily to himself
and to others.
But books can also be an end in
themselves. The man with a happy
taste for books can come in, tired
and soured though he may be, and
fall into the arms of some great
author who would raise him from
the ground and take him into a
new heaven and new earth, where
he would forget his bruises and
rest his limbs and return to the
world fresh and happy man.
No limitation of means can in
these days excuse anybody from
not buying books, and we must dis
tinguish between books to be read
and books to be bought. There
are two further classes Of books
the books that are borrowed
from friends and returned and the
books that are borrowed and not
returned. The non-returning Of
books has ended more friend
ships and terminated more affec-
tions than any other cause of
which / am cognizant. The man
who borrows one volume out of a
set of volumes and never returns
il is man who should be treated
like vermin-trapped or shot at
sight, or any other of the punish
ments which might be extended to
the lowest and vilest of mankind.

Strikes in Russia.

When strikes occur there is no
delay in dealing with them.
Troops are mobilized at once.
The printers in Moscow, for exam
pie, struck last autumn. The
strikers marched in procession
along few streets, clamoring for
shorter hours. They complained
that they had been compelled to
work overtime and that no COM
pensation had been given for the
extra labor. Gen. Treper, chief OF
police, issued a notice that any
man refusing to return to work
would be excluded forever from
Moscow. This stopped the move
ment. Such notices have stopped
similar movements elsewhere

JAP ExIBIT At ST. LOUIS.
Shows That the Mikado's Empire has
Made Wonderful Strides in
Recent Years.

There can be no question that
the most spectacular and most
significant exhibit at st. Louis is
that of Japan, writes Walter Well
man, in Success. 1t is the handi-
work of a new nation, a marvellous
one at that, which the people here
have spread before them. At Chi
cago the Japanese appeared as in
teresting and picturesque makers
of toys and knickknacks and arti-
cles of virtu of characteristic form
but limited range-a sort of half
developed, peculiar people, with
hazy past not far removed from
actual savagery and with an un-
certain future. At st. Louis they
appear as one of the first nations
of the world. The greatest world
event of the last ten years is the
rise Of Japan, and the Japanese
have taken good care that their at
tainment of manhood's estate
shall be duly and fully celebrated
in this exposition cosmos. To
best realize what Japan is, to-day,
one need not 60 to Port Arthur
nor to the plains of Manchuria. 1t
may be taken for granted that the
little brown people have startled
the world with their military
prowess, with their unprecedent-
ed combination in one national
character of the most thorough
preparation and provision, the
highest type of strategy, the most
fanatical bravery, and the most
abundant caution-the travery
which assaults desperately with
torpedo boats and charges savage
ly with battalions, and the eau
tion which never risks battleship
near the big guns of a foe. Finer

Actress and AuthoreSS Will Read.

Next Friday night at the Opera House,
Rose Eytinge, the well-known actress and
authoress, is to give a dramatic reading.
She is in Corvallis for short soiourn
prior to departure for New York City,
where she is to reside. For 25 years or
more.the name of Rose Eytin9e has been
familiar from border to border of the
United States as an sctress of great pow
er. In her stage career she was at
times leading lady for Edwin Booth, the
Wallacks, Davenport, and actors of less
er renown than were these premiers of
the American stage. At present much
of her time is devoted to literary work,
in which the productions of her pen find
ready market east and west. In Shake
spearian work Miss Eytinge has few
equals, her zenith in that line having been
attained when playing with such men as
Davenport and Edwin Booth.
For the reading which Miss Etinge is
to give next Friday night the following
ladies will appear as patronesses: Mrs.
Rose Selliug, Mrs. Withycombe, Mrs.
Catch, Mrs. Farra. Mrs. NJ. NJ Davis,
Miss Helen Crawford, Mrs. J.. G. Taylor
and Mrs. Helm.

Memories of Rose Eytinge.

Miss Rose Eytinge, who is to
give a dramatic reading at the
Opera House on Friday night of
next week, is the author of a
book which has but recently ap-
peared. In the course of a two
column notice of the publication,
The Boston Herald says: "A
first place among readable books
must be given this chatty volume,
notable on every page for its
human interest. :"
The Boston Courier says:
In this little book, the author
ess has gathered a wealth Of an
ecdote, and in it she throws
many new lights upon relation
ship, little understood before.
The book is of interest not only
| to the dramatic profession and to
the student of the American
drama, but as we'll to the general
reader, who would have an inter-
esting sidelight upon the history,
taste, feeling and personality of
a most interesting side Of the
American life. Rose Eytinge
was in the hey-day Of her popu-
larity during the Golden Age of
the American Drama. She was
the associate and personal friend
of Edwin Booth, J. w. and Les
ter Wallack, E. L. Davenport
and Austin DAILY, and played
with nearly all the greater lights
of that interesting period. ,fe
