CURRENT. LITERATURE.

1.-THE Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. is in
every respects the most daring and most
remarkable piece of realism that has been
produced in this country. and It will doubt
less make a profound impression on the
public mind Its startling revelation of
sordid working and living conditions in
Pack'ngtown. Chicago, and it's searching
expose of the packing industry are the re-
suit of a long. first-hand investigation, con-
Quoted by Mr.. Sinclair. He spent seven
weeks studying the stock yards alone. He
had no need, practically, TO study the
lives OF the people. because the intimate
study of poverty in the book is the ex-
perience OF his own life in New York and
elsewhere. The writing OF the book took
over a year and half. Mr.. Sinclair made
three visits through the big packing
houses The first was made as an ordinary
visitor who is shown only the places where
no laws are violated. The second was with
the special correspondent of the London
Lancet, who had made a lifelong study Of
the uubject OF abattoirs and he declared
that never in his life had ne beheld such
conditions as in the Chicago stock yards.
Writing in the Lancet. nc said that the
conditions there were "a menace to the
health of the civilized world" Mr.. Sim
clair's third visit through the packing
houses was made with a young lawyer who
lives, in Pachingtown, who has worked in
the yards and who knew the Waterman
and spotters so he was able to show him
all the things that the layTuan never sees.
Mr.. Sinclair lived and worked and talked
with the stock yards people. He has
written his story with a power and atten-
tlon to minute details that In the minds OF
those who have read the story, almost
rank him with lola.
It is an unforgettable book THE Jun
gle" narrates the adventures OF family
of Lithuanian emigrants, which comes to
America in search OF a fortune and shows
the conditions that turn the hero for time
into a criminal and a tramp. So terrible
was the picture painted and so serious the
charges made against the conditions in the

oMAHAN THINKS TWAIN RIGHT
James c. Lindsay, in Describing
Naples and VesuvIus' Light,
Voices HumOrist's View,

James c. Lindsay. member of the Board
of Education, visited Naples in 1888. In
talking Thursday about the present erup-
ton Of Vesuvius and Of the city at its
base, he gave his impressions of the city
as he found 1t. He said:
There Is some reason in the trite saying
of Mark Twain, See Naples and die for,
with respect to scenes Of beauty and
grandeur one has little or nothing to live
for after seeing Naples in all its phases Of
lights and shades.
Il had the pleasure Of sailing into the
harbor late at night, the darkness being
lit up to a certain extent by Vesuvius
away to the right, and the lights OF the
city around IN semi-CirculaT form, produced
a very pleasing effect. However, the night
is nothing TO the beauty of the sunrise on
Naples; all the tints of the rainbow are
seen with flashes Of gold on tops Of domes
Of cathedrals and other buildings, all
all shimmering with their whiteness in the
early dawn. Then the bumboats come out

TO be seen In Pompen and Herculaneum,

up most movables of value are taken TO the
National museum in Naples, where rooms
are set apart for their reception and ex-
hibition.
Were it not for the fact the climate in
and around Naples is so salubrious, there
would be fewer people living about the
mountain foot. Ny experience was that
every NTH man I met in Naples was a
churchman Of some order or other, and
begging or selling trinkets OF little or no
value seemed TO be the staple trade Of the
city, and visitors are regarded as game
for plucking. For instance, I gave a woman
a gold sovereign for some British silver
that she wanted TO get into smaller bulk,
and / bought some oranges and paid for
them; then she held out her hand for
something extra because 1 had obliged her.

Real Estate Men Find Room for
Great encouragement to Omaha's
Interests In Sale of
This Land.

Forty acres just east OF Krug park. be-
longing to Mrs Flora Brown of Philadel-
phia, are reported sold, though the name
Of the buyer is not mentioned. The price
named is $4,000. The property is but a
short distance from the park, only the
twenty fve-acre tract of the Omaha Water
company lying between. 1t has been in
the Brown family since 1856 or 1857 when
the young preacher. William f. Brown,
came TO Nebraska and was persuaded to
buy eighty acres by his future father-in-
law, who saw a future for Omaha, A tract
Of twenty-five acres was sold to the Omaha
Water company in 1887 or 1888 for $4,000.
Fifteen acres have been disposed Of to
other persons and Mrs. Brown now has but
five acres in her possession.
A deal is also said 10 be "on" for the
forty acres of w. w. Morsman on the
north Of Krug park. In another direction
from the city man has had tentative
! offer for acreage property Of twice what he
paid year ago.
All these things are interesting to the
real estate fraternity at large, as they in
dcate a growing demand for acreage prop
erty and show that acreage property close
in is getting scarce.
