On Constructing "Reminiscences "

The mention Of how literally Mr. Bige-
low exploited his schoolboy associations
with the German Kaiser leads us to re-
fleet upon the rather fiimsy fabric of go
many alleged personal "reminiscences"
which are given 20 the public from time
to time. We fancy that most persons who
write up their recollcctlons OF the great
and good men whom they have intimately
known are apt TO forget TO draw any
definite line between the things which
they remember to have observed them
selves and the things which they happen
to have read The classic instance OF this
sort OF thing is, of course, TO be found
In Mr., Albert Vandam's "EnglIshman in.

PHILADELPHIA. April l5.-Dsspite the
optimism with which Mr. Mitchell views
the situation in the anthracite fields, the
miners themselves and business men

hope OF a peaceful settlement OF The dif-

Leaders OF the miners organization, who

the prospect appears gloomy, but there Is
still hope that the threatened strike may
