Relation Of Author and Editor.

denry Mills Alden, In Harper's.
The first-class magazines have become
the principal safeguards Of literature
against its deterioration. 1t is compare
lively easier for them to Withstand OBJ
viously corrupting influences, by rejecting
sensational or otherwise unworthy features.
than 1t is to resist insidious temptations; and
what could be more insinuating than the
responsiveness of a great name, the undis-
eliminating acceptance of which. without
appraisal of the production which bears II,
would be SO readily condoned by large
body Of readers? That is a good part of the
difhculty-the necessity of guarding readers
against their own easy asqufescence. Writ
ers, too, have to be guarded against them
selves-against the overbearing attitude OF
some of them who insist upon that uncon-
ditional surrender of the editor which en-
courages too facile and sometimes feeble ac-
conplishment 1t is not fair to the author
setting aside all other questions of fair
ness-to accept on delivery and without
consideration whatever he may, In any
kind of circumstances affecting his pro-
duction. have to offer, in response to the
editors expressed and genuine desire for
his work.
Even commerce implies reciprocal condi-
tons and requirements The author who
ignores editorial approval lends his au-
thority to the prevalent assumption that 1t
Is the name and not the thing that counts,
as the editor who allows himaelf to play
the dummy In so important a transaction
confesses to the truth of that assumption.

Among the features of the campaign was

Impracticability Of Spirits.

From the London Chronicle.
A stock objection to spiritual.sm is that
the spirits never do anything practical
only rap tables, or dictate commonplace,
ungrammatical observations or indulge In
other kindred trivialities. But case now
before the Sydney courts arising out of
mans having signed away his property in
obedience to the command Of supposed
spirit voice during a seance, reveals a
higher range of activities in the occult
world. For instance, one witness testified
that the spirits had "showered sovereigns'
upon him in the registrar generals office,
and added: Il received the ring I am now
wearing from the spirits In further exami-
nation, he said he saw the sovereigns fall,
bu. did not actuany handle them or pick
them up" remarkable instance of self
denial. Even one spiritual sovereign would
be exceedingly valuable as curiosity.

THEY ARE OFF IN
 FRENCH AUTO RAGE
LANClA, IN FIAT CAR, IS FIRST AWAY-CHRISTlE, AMERICAN EXPERT, TO SHOW EUROPE A CLEAN PAIR OF HEELS.

Dieppe Race Course, Tribune, July D. 5 a. m.)-The day of the great Grand Prix automobile race dawned clear and bright The roadway dried up nicely dur ing the night and promises to be very fast Fully 5000 people lined the track to witness the start.
 Before coming to the post the drivers of several of the most powerful ma chimes were doubtful as to whether they would be able to complete the course with the amount of gasoline allowed them The betting odds on the Fiat cars length ened or this account. Some of the ex- perts predict that one-third of the en- trants will be stranded on the roadside.
 Christy, one of the American competi- tors, is confident that he will be able to control his machine. and he declares that if his gasoline holds out he will show Europe a clean pair of heels.
 Tie signal to start was given by six small saluting cannon, opposite to the Tribune. With the sound of the first re- ort, Lancia, in a Fiat car, shot by the stand, the first away. He was sent off with a roar of applause. The other com petitors followtu at minute intervals. Du- ray, in a Lorraine de Detrich, was fourth: Siezz, driving for the Renaults, was ninth; Christy in his American machine, was tv elfth; Navarro, in another Fiat, was eighteenth; Heath, another Amer ican, driving a Panhard, was twenty

News of the Courts.

The city court of Bessemer adjourned Saturday for the summer months, and will not convene until September. A case of especial interest is the quo war ranto proceedings of the Beulah Baptist church, colored, which has been continued several times Judge Jackson announced that he would be in court on Tuesday morning for the purpose of hearing the case. inasmuch as the different factions are so anxious for him to take it up be- fore the next term.
 Mayor Lewis had them coming and go- ing this morning, and before court ad- journed his honor was unable to distin- gulsh between a loaded and an unloaded dice. Six men faced him for Sunday gaming, and be it said to their credit, there were no excuses, such as "I went up there with a friend" etc. Each man said that he was guilty but that he had never been caught before, and hoped the judge would let him down light. His honor pulled out his hardware glasses and looked up the code. After vainly trying to locate a Joseph H. Choate ruling on the subject, he decided to fine each one $l7.50, with the exception of the man that had charge of the game. His authority cost him $47.5 and costs. The same men may roll the bones again, but if they do, it's dollars to doughnuts that they will have the cushions on the tables three feet thick because there Is no noise so nerve-racking as the noise of the bones as one fellow tells the other that he will fade him for dollar.
 Several vagrant cases were up for con sideration, and the applicants all looked like $l2.50 and costs to the judge.

These nine will be tried in St. Charles parish near New Orleans.
