THE LONE F7URROw. BY w. A Fro
ser. 2. Appleton & Company, or
New York, publishers. PIP. asa
a book with the scene laid in lit
lie scotch Canadian village, called Iona.
me story Is very simple. Just as tho
BOOK opens the minister OF the vii
lage Kirk. Nell Munro has 1,san-
peared. leaving his young wife grief
stricken at his loss and no explana-
ton to tell where or why he has gone.
At length. after months Of waiting
and searching, the minister is found
IN Montreal. hopeless wreck from
the use Of opium. and taken back to
his wife and his little son. only a few
days cd. With his return the book
closes.
It's real strength and color lies in
the authors power of localization and
character painting. Tho household os
the friends where JEAN the forsaken
young wife of the minister, Neil
Munro. was taken in and cared for
tenderly; the old Scotch minister, DR..
MacLean, Malcolm Balm the agnostic,
the teacher and the different villagers
and kirk members with whom the
reader is brought in contact are
touched with a nicely of discrimina-
ton and power of indvldualizing
that at once marks the power of
the sautlOf.
There are delightful glimpses of
home life and a description of an
afternoon picnic that is simply charm
ing.
AS the story develops the reader is
made to understand that the opium
habit was contracted by Neil Munro
during an epidemic in India, where he
grew to rely upon 1t in order that he
might give more and more time TO
the sick and suffering. Afterward,
when he returned home he tried I'M
avail!ngly to break away from the
use of the drug. At time when he
was suffering greatly from mental
disturbance. his brotherin-law dis
covered what he was doing and re-
preached him violently for 1t. The
minister's mind gave way and he
wandered off to Montreal. without
memory OF the past. remaining there
as worker in the Sums until his
friends found him.
References to childhood In this book
are delicious, and the mother OF the
| family and the friend OF the minis
ter's wife Is pictured in a way that
| appeals most strongly to the reader

THE PSYCHIC RIDDLE. BY Isaac X
Funk, d. d., Ill. y. Funk 6: Wngnnlls
Company, OF New York, publishers.
The author In this book presents some
reasons why the study of psychic prob
lens by scientists should DO encouraged;
he devotes q chapter to communications
purporting to come from DR.. Richard
Hodgson through his spirit; another on
the phenomena known as independent
voices" and still another on typical cases
OF several classes OF psychic phenomena.
The author makes tho effort to unravel
the psychic riddle by telling the expo
rienccs OF different people, giving names
and dates in each instance as far as pos
sible His book is interestingly written
Efe explains at length why he refuses 70
accept spirituaism as q proven fact, ana
sums up his position in the following con-
cluslon: II admit the honesty Of the me-
diums to whom have referred in nv
contradictory experiences. and admit the
tnadcquacy OF any other hypothesis than
that OF spiritualism to explain many of
the phenomena encountered, but an ex-
PLANTATION to be satisfactory to a rational
mind should cover all of the facts touch

DeVery would say; they should match
All around. admi It with Professor James
Q, Harvard. that the spirit hypothesis Is
the easiest all-round explanation, vet
Whlle there are such Himalayan difficult
ties IN the way of ones acceptance OF
the Identity hypothesis, is 1t quite fair

 Carnegie Overwhelmed.
 "This honor is as surprising as it is overwhelming. None know so well as 1 that it is not deserved by anything l have done. But if a heart which grows larger as I grow older, heart which takes in the broader view of life and wishes for a broader field of activity, if that merits the grant of this great honor, then l believe I do deserve it. I find that with every year of my life l take a higher and higher view of things. and think more and more of humanity and have brighter visions of the future. That this honor comes from France makes 1t douby welcomed. 1 remember what France did for this country in her days of need I know what self-sacrifice France has done in the world of art 1 know what the legion of honor means. This honor does not eXalt but humbes me when I compare it to the small serv ice l have rendered.
 There was another outburst of cheering as MT. Carnegie concluded.

WILL NOT REOPEN THE OLD CARBUNCLE
NATIONAL COMMISSION REFUSES TO CONSIDER OLD WESTERN LEAeUE-WEsTERN AssocIA- TON TROUBLE.

Cincinnati april 17.-In refusing the re- quest of President O'Neil of the Western lea ;ue. to reconsider the case of the To- peka club which was drafted from the Western league by the Western associa- tion, the National Baseball commission today emphasized previous utterances on minor league baseball law.
 me decision says that no new evidence was filed except in relating the circum- stances that occurred at a meeting, re- gently held in the city of Buffalo, of cer- tain representatives of the American as sociation, President Shively of the West ern association and others. The commits sion will not grant the request to re- open this case The members feel that they have gone as far in this matter as they can. We have stated that the legis- lation with respect to drafting of the National association is unwise and should be changed. We have also requested .. the National board take such steps as may be necessary to amicably arrange this controversy and we again repeat tht request, but will not reopen the case or go into the merits of the proposition at this time. We have also been informed that at the Buffalo meeting certain agree ments were entered into which were after wards not carried out. If such is the case anI the Western league has been dam aged thereby, they should have their re- dress before the National board of the National association"

Carnegie's efforts to obtain peace, and for his splendid accomplishment for the good of mankind. - Prof. Kuno Francke of Harvard univer- sty spoke for the university and in a measure for Germany.
 Bryan Speaks.
 Following professor Francke, William J. Bryan was introduced. When in the early part of his address he offered as a substitute for the historic words liberty or death" the cry of liberty and life,' he sounded a chord that induced among his audience prolonged applause. This sentiment was the key note of his ad- dress. The cost of human life MT. Bryan wanted counted and estimated.
 Let us measure the value of those that war has not taken. and then wo can ob- tain some estimate of the value of those lives that are gone"

ENGINEER KILLED IN CHOCOLOCCO WRECK Two FIagmen Hurt By Being
 Hurled From Cars WILD CARS ON STEEP HILL Break Loose From Train and Dash Into Engine Below-lnjured Men
 Are Hurried to Bir-
 minqham.
WILD CARS ON STEEP HILL

One man is dead and two others more or less injured as the result of a freight wreck on the Southern yesterday morning at an early hour The dead man is N. E. Decker, an engineer, who lived at 1704 Third avenue, of this city. while the others are E. D. Hudson and J. M. Yount who live together at 142 F'ifty-first street. Woodawn.
 It seems that the accident occurred at Chocolocco Ala, on the Atlanta division of the road. The freight train was divided in two sections and the first had started up a steep grade. A coupling pin broke in some manner dividing the first section in half, and the loose cars began run away course back down the hill.
 About half mile behind when they had reached furious impetus, they rounded curve, and dashed into the engine of No. ?.
 The engine was thrown from the track and the engineer badly injured about the head and body. The two other men were flagmen on the loose string of cars, and when .the jolt came they were hurled many feet. MT. Yount Is the more severely injured as his head and back are both bruised, while Hudson's face is mangled.
 The wounded men were immediately put on the first train that came up be- hind and hurried to this city. They were met at the Union depot and carried to the Copeland infirmary in the ambulance Of Lige Loy.
 | Decker died shortly afterward. but there is hope for the lives of the others. The men were resting easily at a late hour. The deceased leaves a wife and children. He was 5S years of age, the son of Nathan Decker. and a man of good character. His death was the cause of great sor- row to the railroad fraternity, and hun dreds passed through the undertaking parlors yesterday afternoon to view the remains. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
