SOCIAL. CARICATURE IN THE EIGHTEENId
CENTURY BY George Paston- With over Two

by e. Il. DuttOn & co.
In tbe lively text with which George Paston'
Miss T.. M. Symonds) has surrounded a rich
store of reproductions of old Caricatures we
have a more or less vivid representation of Eng
lish society in the eighteenth century 1t Is
the unpleasant side of that society, of course
for that is necessarily the satirists field. Here
are it's whimsies. its follies its extravagancies
and vulgarities portrayed sometimes with wit,
often with scorn that is frankly brutal-and the
inspiration and justification of these 'monstrous
drafts" the author has diligently sought among
the memoirs and the fashionable periodicals or

If Mrs Flora Annie Steel could have her way
there would be an end of kissing in the modern
novel 1t wearies her ineXpressibly. That much
we gather from an amusing article she has
contributed to the London Saturday Review"
Therein she tells us that in six novels
glance the climax was reached with the usual
sentmentality. $50 l am left" she says star
ing out from my writing room window per-
feet paradise of sea and hill and wood and field
to wonder how it comes that the woman's world
is so fulfilled with it," She has no doubt as
20 where the responsibility is to be placed. "The
women are the great novel readers 1t is for
]iSEed; and yet, only the other day, l was told
by Il great firm which wished to commission
my work that the only thing our readers care
for is = bright love story, preferably set in the
British Isles. Mrs. Steel rebels. For one
thing, she maintains that there are many more
troubles for Il woman than lack of love- There
are other tragedies Why not make use of
them in fiction? Mrs. Steel can help along the
good cause by keeping kisses out of her own
novels. Other women. whether writer's or not
can Go their share by cOntrivng in one way
or another to let authors and publishers know
that they are not content with one kind of novel
indeed, more superstition than anything else.
New-York tribune., 1906-04-29

The gentlemen who edit new editions of dead
roets are having just now, the time of their
lives. They easily find publishers, and we are
happy to say that the publishers easily find
q public Nevertheless, shall not be sorry
when the work has all been done. when every
classic has been rehabilitated and put before
the world clothed and in his right mind, for
then those of us who care for poetry can go
back to the poets and read them. Meanwhile
we marvel at the cleverneSS with which the
trick is done You assemble all the known edi
tions of your poet and get at all the accessible
manuscripts. In your preface you brag judi
ciouSly about the purified texts" you have
achieved and through voluminOuS notes and
anDendiceS. embOdying all the variants" you
can possibly discover, you make it absolutely
inevitable that at least 412 reviewers will praise
YOU for having rendered Il service to literature
in throwing new light upon the workings of the
poets mind" We love that new light. 1t
does not, once i'll Il thousand years, effect the
least change in our appreciation of the things
that really count in poets work. but, On the
other hand, it gives us such Il precious sense of
tie zeal, the industry and the sublime disin-
tcrcSedness with which some noble soul is put
ting a helpless classic right with the world.
Moreover it is good to know that somewhere
one more human creature is making a living
with next to no effort. Seriously. we wonder
if it is not time for much of this editing to be
stopped. We do not deny that it is we'll meant.
that it is often intelligent, and that sometimes it
is little useful. But the spectacle of quite
unimportant uninspred little people pOmpOusly
nnnOtating the masterpieces of the great poets
is one which for the life of us we cannot help
finding absurd.

SEEK IMPROVED
PASSENGER SERVICE
Davenport Refused Train by st. Paul,
and to Even Advantages, Cedar
Rapids Service is Reduced.

The business interests in Davenport
have been seeking to secure additional
passenger train service between Dav-
export and the smaller cities on the
branch of the st. Paul extending north
west from Davenport. So far their eff
forts have failed, and they seem now to
be taking severe measures in the effort
to force compliance with their de
mands. The request of the merchants
was for the same service as was given
at Cedar Rapids.
The matter dragged along for some
time, and finally an appointment was
made with officials of the road by the
committee of the business men, for a
meeting at Chicago. 1t is reported that
the committee members presented
themselves at Chicago on the appoint
ed day, and to their surprise were told
that the meeting had been postponed
They returned to Davenport and in a
circular letter reported to the business
men their experience 1t is said that
as a result of the fight between the
road and the merchants. the company's
business has materially decreased. In
an effort to pacify Davenport, the com
pany has taken off the train at Cedar
Rapids. and now both cities are loudly
protesting against the cOmpany's posi-

Kicked Him-lnquest Held.

A friendly scuffle with David Wood
OF Hillsdale proved fatal to c. C.
Clarke, painter and resident of this
| city, death resulting last evening at
$3.50 at st. Anthony's hospital. The
accident happened at Edward Thier-
mans saloon, First avenue and Twen-
tieth street Wednesday afternoon, and
the injury was not thought to be of a
serious nature until last night when
the injured man grew worse and
an operation was decided upon.
He was taken to st. Anthony's
hospital at 6. o'clock. but when
he arrived he was in a dying condition
and efforts to save him were of no
avail.
DR.. S. B. Hall held an autopsy over
the remains last night and found his
bowels badly bruised and perforated,
and as a result of the accident gan
creme had developed
Had Pulled Woods Beard.
Wood, who is a carpenter at Hills
dale was in the city to secure employ
ment, and in company with Clarke was
in Edward Thiermans saloon Wednes-
day afternoon. Clarke in joking way
remarked to Wood, who had been
drinking. You are too old to fool with
a young man like me-" and as he sail
it. provoked Wood by pulling the Hills
dale mans beard A scuffle followed
and Clarke received a kick in the stom-
ach. Clarke remarked that he was
hurt but it was thought that he was
joking and little attention was given
the matter until ne began to suffer
great pain DR.. s. b. Hall was summon
ed and the injured man was taken to
his room, u Fourth avenue. His
condition grew worse yesterday and as
an operation was thought possible, he
was removed to st. Anthony's hospital.
The operation. however, was abandon
ed after reaching the hospital, as his
condition was hopeless. ----,
Clarke was 53 years old and has bee
resident of Rock Island for 15 years.

charge of the remains. This afternoon
jury was selected. and an inquest is
in progress at the Wheelan undertak-
ing rooms, where the remains were
taken from the hospital. DIR. 5. b. Hall,
Henry Thierman, and George Watson
testified before the jury. 1t was stated
by Mr.. Thierman that Wood had been
doing at a table, and that when he
awoke Clarke twitted him about his
beard. Mr.. Thierman said that as
Clarke reached over in a scuffle for {
letter, Wood raised his foot, and that
Clarke ran into it, but that Wood did
not kick Clarke. From the circum-
stances, it was natural that no blame
was placed on Wood by the jury in it's
verdict, for Clarke's death.

Entertains at Camp.-One OF the de
lightful occasions of Rock river camp
ing was that of yesterday when Miss
Elsie Schocker entertained the B. l.. S.
C. at Camp Doctor Dippe. The young
ladies-10 in number-went out in the
morning on the 8 o'clock car, and re-
turned in the evening. The camp.
which is beautifully located and fitted
up. is one and a half miles east of the
Black Hawk inn One of the incidents
of the day was the girls failure to
freeze the ice cream after long contin-
ued effort. On examination into the
cause it was found Miss Schocker had
been by mistake putting sugar instead
of salt on the ice in the freezer. In or
der to spare the hostess feelings, it
was decided this fact should be kept a
secret. Another incident was the talk
ing of the picture of this group of girls
with their varied camping costumes on,
which pictures will be on exhibition at
