"Brunhilde's Paying Guest BY Caroline
Fuller. The Century Company, New York.
A delightful story of the South of TO-
day, sprightly and charming in the tell
ing. 1t is a pleasing mixture OF Southern
laughter, tenderness and tears, exhaline
that languous spirit of the South which
always warns the cookies of the heart. 1t
is not written along the usual lines of
Southern stories. for there Is hardly any
mention of the war. and this lifts it out
Of the well-worn rut. One comes to ex-
pect an ecno of the shot and shell in every
Southern romance picked up nowadays,
but this book is decidedly different and is
refreshing in consequence.
Brulhilde is q refined Southern girl, well
over 80, who lives at her old family home
In rather cramped circumstances, having
with her three equally refined, beautiful
n charming relatives. all young women.
Her paying guest is a young man from
the North, who seeks rest there for a tired
brain. He takes his place naturally and
easily in the household, and IL his brain
gets a rest his heart doesn't. It Is discev-
cred that he is heir to a neighboring old
estate, and this lends added interest to the
romance. There Is more than one love

Early MTelegraphn.,,

Long before Professor S. F. B. Morse
had perfected his great invention the word
telegraph" was used for a sort OF soma
phore. In the French Revolution a "tele-
graph assisted by telescopes, was de-
vlsed to carry news over immense dig
tances. Forty years before this time, how
ever, there was published the first de-
tailed scheme for communication by means
of electricity. 1t is outlined In a letter to
the Scots magazine, written OF February
l. 1853. from Renfrew and signed &C. M
This suggestion was to transmit a charge
from the conductor Of an electrical ma
chine at the sending station along an In
sulated wire to the receiving machine, the
presence OF the charge being indicated by
the behavior Of a light pith ball or the
passage OF a spark Each letter of the
alphabet was to have a separate wire. so
that any word might be spelled out and
any message sent.-Chicago News.

..wards of Liberty"

wards of Liberty" BY Myra Kelly.
The McClure Company. New York.
Already widely known to magazine read
,ers, Miss Kelly's stories of the children of
the Ghetto are well worthy the more per-
manent form and circulation here to be
given them. The book is a companion
volume to Little Citizens" and its pages
are similarly peopled with the children, not
only of Jewish race, but of the variegated
natlonalities represented in a public school
of the East Side. Eva Gonorowsky, Morris
Mogilewsky, Yetta Aaronsohn, Nathan
Sp~iderwitz, Patrick and all the
other little wards of liberty are young
sters whose acquaintance Miss Kelly's
affectionate sympathy and sense Of humor
and pathos have made well worth cuItivat-
ing. 1t isn't only that their childish do
ings and their dialect are amusing. but
there is a larger interest in them that Miss
Kelly does no small service in arousing.
The pathos and humor of the stories are
rloeely merged and about equally divided.
The story of Isidore Belcllatosky and his
nncle, Abraham, is particularly good and
characteristic. The notions of the child
dren about George Washington disclosed at
Uncle Abraham's celebration of that hero's
birthday are worth reproducing:

Boston symphony seat Sale.

The public sale of seats for the first ap-
pearance in Newark of the famous Boston
Symphony Orchestra, under DR.. Karl
Muck, will open at Lauter's, 657-659 Broad
street, next Wednesday morning. The
concert, as has been already announced,
Will be given In the Kruger Auditorium
on Monday night, December Q, and will
begin at 8 O'Clock precisely. The orchestra
will stay in New York after its matinee
on Saturday afternoon, December z, pur-
posely for this concert, and those who
have not been able to attend its concerts
in Carnegie Hall will have the opportunity
of listening to Its playing here under the
same conditions which prevailed there.
The s%oloist, Nine. Olga Samaroff. is also
a newcomer In Newark, and much is
promised of her. Nine. Samaroff, despite
her Russian name, is a na~tive-born Ameri-
can; In fact, she Is very native born, as
she was born at the government army post
10 San Antonio, Tex, where her father
was an officer. OF course. a great deal of
her life has been spent abroad, but she is
thoroughly American, and she did what
few dare to do-she began her career in
this country before she had ever played in
public abroad. Her career of the last three
years is a standing refutation of the hack
neyed charge that no musician can sue
coed in America without a European
cachet. In three years from an absolutely
unknown girl, without pull or influence
of any kind, she has become one of the
foremost and popular p~ianists in this coun-
try. She has been soloist with all the
great orchestras of America, and has
played at least a dozen times with the
Boston symphony.
To play with the Boston Symphony Or
chestra means more for an artist than to
play with any other orchestra In this coun-
try, for not only is it the leading organl-
cation of its kind but 1t has very fow
s~oioists, and its choice is restricted to the
very best. Nine. Samaroff, having had
three more successful seasons In America.
is going to spend next year abroad, and
she will make her European debut with
the famous Colonne orchestra at the
Chatelet, in Paris, IN the third Sunday of
next October. She is to play with the
leading orchestras of London, Berlin,
Vienna and other musical centres.
The program that DR.. Muck has ar
ranged is of more than ordinary interest.
1t comprises a characteristic work by the
great living French composer, Vincent
ding; %planoforte concerto by Edward
Grieg, the noted Norwegian, who died a
few months ago, and a characteristic work
by the great Schunann. D'Indy's work
will be the Symphonic Trilogy "Wallen-
STEM" based upon Schiller's trilogy of
dramas. The Schumann work will be the
overture to the oDera 'sGenoVRVa.p
