In Blind Alleys" George Cary Eggleston
enters upon a new field of fiction. casts his
work in a larger mold than any that he has
hitherto used. and gives us altogether the
most important novel that he has yet writ
ten. Blind Alleys" is novel OF New
York life-not Of Wall street. not Of Fifth
avenue ard not OF the Sums, but OF the
more typical and significant aspects of life
in the great city, and OF those who con-
stitute it's real and not its exceptional
population. The book is full OF those GU
rious and intricate mysteries of life that
abound in a great city. and fuller still OF
earnest thought and sincere endeavor to
discover a way out of the blind alleys"
In which men and women who try to help
their fellows are apt to find themselves
heiplessly cropping. No ready-made solu-
lions are offered OF any Of the problems
presented by the action of the story. but
the suggestions made by the variedly
prejudiced personages of the drama will
be helpful 10 those who sincerely seek a
way out There Is a sweet and wholesome
love story, of course. Indeed, there are
two OF them, and altogether the novel is
one of peculiarly fascinating interest. In
appearance Il is one Of the handsomest
novels Of the year. Published by tothrop.

A PROMISED VISIT
OF NOTABLE WOMEN
Mothers, With Particular Reference
to Its ARIZONA Organization.

Mrs. Emory Rays, president of the
Arizona Congress of Mothers. Mrs.
Frank II. Parker and Mrs. H. B. ST.
Claire of this city, are now in Los
Angeles as delegates attending the an
nual meeting of the National Congress
its deliberations on the 10th and will
remain in session until the 10th. Some
time ago the Arizona Congress of
Mothers and the Woman's club learned
that it was the intention of the ma
tiOnal president. Mrs. Frederick Schoff
Of Philadelphia, to visit Phoenix. en-
route to Los Angeles. Later this en-
gagement had to be cancelled. She
came west with a party OF eastern
delegates in a private car. She in
tended to devote a day to a side trip
10 Phoenix while the rest of the par
ty was visiting the Grand Canyon, but
later learned that the time was too
brief for her to reach here and rejoin
the party at Ash Fork
Yesterday Mrs. B. A. Fowler. presi-
dent of the Woman's club. received n
letter from Mrs. Kays. saying that
Mrs. SchOff was greatly disappointed
and that she was arranging 60 come

ed. whether they are mothers or faith
ers. or neither.
In this connection 1t will doubtless
be of interest to recite a few of the
facts concerning the origin ard devel-
| opment Of the Mothers Congress To-
cally. an institution of wide and grow
ing influence. which has come into
being in recent years. In respect OF
its organization and affiliations 9
great many are somewhat confused
for its birth was due to a Woman's
! club movement, though ii is now an
entirely separate and Independent or
ganization.
To begin with the National Congress
of Mothers was organized through the
efforts of Mrs. Theodore w Birney
with whom Mrs. Fowler of this city
had been well acquainted in the east
Mrs. Birney wrote to Mrs. Fowler con-
corning the movement but the latter
was then very busy with her club
work. She was kept informed. how
ever. and the literature of the Con-
gress was disseminated among the
club members until they became con-
siderably interested. and the club af-
filiated with the National Congress.
The National Congress then brought
into being as an auxiliary field of en-
deavcr the Child Study circles in the
schools of the country and they were
given prominence in the congress lit
erature. The time came eventually
when these child study circles appeal
ed to the members of the Woman's
club so strongly, as an effective means
for good. that it was decided to inaug-
urate the work here and Mrs. Emory
KayS was made an organizer of child
study circles, under the education de-
partment of the clubs work. Her eff
forts resulted in the organization OF
six child study circles in the six
Phoenix schools. In the natural or
der Of events, these child study cir
cles organized the Arizona Congress
Of Mothers. of which Mrs. Rays was
made the state president. In this way
the movement once started by the Wo-
mans club. grew and developed into
a perfect organization of its own.
when the Woman's club severed its
connection and is now affiliated only
by the bonds of sympathy and interest
it naturally holds for the child of its
own creation, but no longer bears any
official relation to it.
The work of the child study circles
is well indicated in the name. The
purpose is the study of the child: the
bringing together of the mothers of
the children in each school. for inter-
change of ideas concerning the needs
OF the children. how they can best be
served and how the mothers can best
cooperate with the teachers in adj
vancing their school work and their
general welfare both within and with
out the. school room. 1t has been
found a valuable aid 10 the teachers
in many ways WAYS. creating a closer
friendship between the teachers and
the mothers. and drawing the latter
more frequently to the school rooms
where the meetings are generally held.
and giving them a greater familiarity
with the duties of both teacher and
pupil and creating a mutually of in
terest all around.

CONSULS APPROVE OF
PURPOSE OF EXPOSITION
Say That Alaska Yukon-Pacific Fair
at Seattle Will Help to Increase
Pacific Trade.

Seattle, May 10.-(Special Core
spondence of The Republican.)-One
phase of the purpose of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition which will be
held at Seattle IN 1909-the bringing
together commercially of the countries
Of the Pacific ocean-is attracting
widespread attention and commenda-
ton.
Without neglecting the other OBJ
ject of the exposition. the exploitation
of Alaska and Yukon. il is the inten-
ton of the management to devote
much attention to the exhibits that
will exert an influence to Increase the
trade between the United States and
the countries Tapped by the Pacific and
between the different countries them
selves. 1t is a well known fact that
this country does not enjoy its full
share of the immense Pacific COM
merce. especially the oriental trade.
Letters received by Henry f Reed,
director of exploitation. from American
consuls stationed in the different
countries bordering upon the Pacific,
back up the prediction Of those who
have studied the exposition will be a
great help to American commerce,
that through the medium of exhibits
buyers and sellers of many nations will
be brought closer together to their
mutual advantage.
Roger S. Green. consul at Vladivos-
tOk, writes to tell how trade can be
increased with Siberia. He says in
part:
Everything that a European COM
munity uses is imported here most of
which is American. though Russian
and Manchurian f1ours are also on the
market. the Russian article being con-
sidered better than American flour and
the Manchuriah inferior. Salt beef,
corned beef, lard and other meat pro-
duets have a considerable sale. also
condensed milk, especially evaporated
creams, canned fruits, etc.
American agricultural machinery
is beginning to come TO this port.
mostly destined for the Amur PROV
ince. American machines and sporting
goods have a good name here; for ex-
ample sewing machines, typewriters.
scales. Photographic apparatus, phon-
ographs, arms and ammunition. Small
hardware is as yet imported chiefly
from Europe. In the future there will
be market for all kinds of mach
inery, particularly the flour milling,
numbering and mining machinery"

luton adopted by the board of super
visors yesterday. calling upon the
company to operate its road, which is
under a reyocable lease from the mum
icipality. The supervisors stated that
the road would be taken away from
the company if the cars were not run
at once. The directors decided to take
no action whatever thus throwing the
matter back to the supervisors.
n committee of supervisors asked
what price would be placed upon the
rolling stock and machinery of the
corporation. President Platt said he
could not give the figure without con-
sulting the other officials and did not
think another meeting OF the directors
would be held for a week or ten days.
AS the matter now stands it devolves
upon the city to take the initiative if
the road is to resume running cars
under municipal rule.
Chairman Sonntag of the police
committee. of the grand jury stated
today that an investigation would be
commenced tomorrow into acts of vio-

strike and complaints that men ar
rested for assaults and disturbances

a member of the Stationary Engineers
union.
AS he alighted from the car he was
set upon by a crowd of union sympa--
thizers and beaten almost to death.
His skull and jaw were fractured and
his right arm and several ribs were
broken. He was left unconscious on
