" The Eddyite y

By George W. Louttit, author Of "A Maid Of
the Wildwood, ETC. Published by the Co
lonial press, Fort Wayne, Ind. Price 81.
Christian Science has endured more
attacks than any other ism of the
age. yet 1t thrives and is making moth
ing less than marvellous Roadway.
The author of THE Eddyite" thinks
that the reason the various attacks fail
is because they are made without I'M
Outstanding by people who are unac-
quainted or half acquainted with the
subject The advance notes tell that
Judge Louttit thoroughly understands
Christian Science, for he has taken It's
normal course of instruction under one
Of Mary Baker G. Eddy's students; he
was a member of the mother church;
he has been a first reader and for five
years he has lived and breathed the
atmosphere of Christian Science.
Now. as. a result OF his experiences,
he offers a novel, Tho Eddyite," based
upon facts which he hopes logically re-
fute the fallicies Of Christian Science.
David Korsan is tho hero, and all the
unfortunate occurrences which take
place under the name OF Christian Sci
ence are laid at his door. The author
has heard these things with his own
ears and seen them with his own eyes
and only asks the reader to believe him.
The tale is strong enough to very
Thoroughly brighten any one away from
so selfish and cold a religion as the
author presents It, but doubtless the
scientists can explain away many Of
the Objectionable statements in the
book. The story is In fiction form and
fairly well written. 1t is easily seen
that the.author is much in earnest.

" Across Europe in a Motor Boat y

By Henry G. Rowland. author OF The Wan
derern etc. Published by d. Appleton &
Co.. New York. Price 81.
1t will be great surprise to many
travellers as well as readers to learn
what can be done in q motor boat in
Europe. That there is a waterway
through the heart of Europe and that
q motor boat can go" from Havre to
the Danube is what is discovered by
reading the experiences of three young
men, and even If they met disaster be-
fore their projected trip was completed
they at least showed what could be
done.
The route of travel is as follows:
From London across. the channel to
Havre, up the Seine to, Paris, by river
and canal into the Rhine, leaving at
Mainz for the river Main, which is fol-
lowed to Frankfort, thence through the
Ludwig canal and the Danube to the
Black.sea. The friends had mapped out
a charming course for the homeward
voyage, taking in the Bosporus. Sea
of Marmora, the Dardanelles and the
Mediterranean, and a choice of two
routes from there on, but IN the Black
sea they encountered heavy weather
and lost their boat and nearly their

who is a broker buried in Wall street
most Of the time, and her life is de-
voted TO society. She has no children
and is bored to extinction by the empti
ness of her life. A young Englishman
in the diplomatic service falls in
love with her. His worship is
poetical and she responds with all
her heart to his appeal. She sees
nothing Of his selhshness and
does not for a moment comprehend
what an affair" in the foreign sense
means. She thinks love means thar
she must get a divorce and elope with
her affinity. The extraordinary COM
plications which follow. some Of them
suggestively psychological, give the
author an excellent opportunity TO tell
what he has observed of New York
society. All sorts of revelations of
that particular society's emptiness have
been made in novels before and no
new or interesting light is thrown on
the subject So often In little things
an author shows q carelessness in OBJ
servation, or an unfamiiiarity with q
subject or phase of life. This occurs
in The Passer-By' when the author
pictures scene between a trained
nurse and one Of the characters in the
story He makes the nurse talk like
an uneducated slum dweller. Reading
about g ball In the paper, she says
to her patient: Amt you sorry you
amt going?" Later on the patient
reads her a sonnet from a book of
poems, and she says: "Myl I call 1t a
corker!" and she is described as being
unable to understand It at all and
thinks he has "a temperature" because
he is enthusiastic about the beauty
of the sonnet.
Unlike most Of the books dealing
with the various phases of the affinity
business and Illicit love in general. this
one ends quite satisfactorily. The book
is much too long. too many pages being
given to rather dreary and modifying
self-communings on the part Of the
dissatisfied wife.
The book contains a frontispiece In
color of the heroine, Angela Moore
painted by the authors wife, Amelie
Rives.

name the boat Beaver, but the engine Is
Dan, and Dan is a pest.
The description Of the wreck-the

lively thrilling. One really appreciates
the danger OF the position, but the
author is so bright and quantity hui

the expatriation which follows
The husband suddenly falls IN love
with his wife. She alone of all the
women he knows retains her beauty
and goodness. She has lived like a
nun for 81 years and he is willing to
forget and forgive her mistake in
youth. But at the same time that she
learns of his love for her she also
learns all the details Of his more than
dissolute life, so that her love for him
is killed at once. Just why Amabel
considers It necessary to tell her whole
life story to her son, after the inter
view with her husband, is not clear,
but she does and fully expects him to
leave her, too. He would have been
a poor sort of q thing If he had and he
doesn't. The end of the book finds
mother and son clasped In each other s
arms. The reader is thankful for
that one ray Of light in so depressing
a story. 1t is as full of weeps and
heart breaking despair as East Lynn"
and would make as good a melodrama.

FOR THOUSANDS
RAILROADS WILL GIVE EMPLOY
MENT.
I'm Next Sixty Days Armies Of Men
VIII BE Needed on Tracks and
~ Shops.

Chicago. April 2.-The Record
Herald says:
In the next sixty days the railroad,
of the United States will have to find
between 100000 and. 300 900 men to
mend their tracks and roadbeds, and
another large army to go into their
shops and repair their cars and their
locomotives.
The railroads centering in Chicago
alone will, between tomorrow and
June l, require more than 100000
|laborers. Work will start in light on
the soads which are the best favored
by climatic conditions, and will be in
creased rapidly until June 1, when
renewal and repair work will be in
full swing on every railroad in the
country.
The average number of men need
ed by each of the large Chicago sys-
tens is 5000 and the wages offered
are to be about the same as last year,
when labor was scarces and more men
were needed.
For day laborers the wages range
between s1.25 and $3.50 a day, the
average being about s1.40. The
highest figure is paid for what are
called steel gangs who are employed
in laying steel rails.
This year the railroads expect to be
able to procure a much creates pro-
portion of American labor than usual,
owing to the fact that times have not
been so good and many men are out
of employment. 1t is also expected
that there will not be so many Ital-
fans available this year, because.
when the business recession came,
the Italians returned to their native
land by shiploads.

Vetoed Bill That Never Passed.

Frankfort, Ky, April when
the story OF senate bill No. 166 is
told everybody will agree that Gov
|ernor Wilson's veto AK hit the right
spot, and the fate of the bill Illus
trates the story OF "the luck of the
calf that lived all winter only to die
in the spring" The veto also saved
a lawsuit and other complications
that would have arisen had he APP
proved 1t.
Yesterday when the clerks of the
senate and house were checking up
all the bills on file in the governors
Office and comparing them with their
books they found that senate bill No
IGG had passed the senate, but had
never passed the house, although by
some strange mistake 1t had been en-
rolled. compared in both houses,
signed by both the speaker and the
lpresident of the senate, and then
vetoed by the governor.
II was bill introduced by Senator
II. III. Smith to establish two sub.
Experiment stations, one in Eastern
kentucky and one in western Ken
lucky. 1t Is supposed that on the
| last night of the session, when every
thing was In confusion, some one b.
mistake gave one of the enrolling
clerks a copy of the bill and 1t was
enrolled, put in the bunch with thirty
or forty other bills and went through
without anyone discovering the seri
GUS mistake. OF course when 4
reached the governor 1t was all II
proper shape and/nothing to indicate
that II had not been properly passed
by both legislative bodies, but the
question now arises, would the bill
have been valid II the governor hae
approved It?
