A NOVELIST WHO WROTE
ONLY CLEAN BOOKS.

The novels of F. Marion Crawford
have done as much as any other one
thing to give the American people
knowledge of Italian manners ana
Italian life. He was prolific writer,
and while he had wonderful faculty
for observation, a keen insight and a
pen that could present a picture so
clear to the mind that it seemed to
vitalize his characters, no matter where
the scene of the novel was laid, it was
in depicting Italian life that he was
most happy. His best books were the
"Ssracinesca' group, but he wrote few
that were not popular. Mr.. Crawford
was more Italian than American, al
though his parents were Americans. he
spent the greater part of his lite IN
italy. and his heart was there.
America has been proud, however, to
claim him. Though in the last few
years his novels have not been as wide
" read as they were ten years ago, in
the zenith of his popularity, his death
will bring sincere sorrow to thousands
of his countrymen. To them he gave
pleasure and instruction in books that
showed how unnecessary to literature
are the overweight problems which
ought to be taboOed in the drawing
room but hardly are.

CONSTANTINOPLE. April I2-Has
the Persian land grant by Russia and

This is the question that Is upper

diplomats. Despite the announcement
from England that the landing of ma
rines from the British cruiser Fox at
Bushire, on the Persian gulf, is but A
temporary measure, to guard the for

uprising, the opinion is general here
that the act is but a preliminary step
TO the permanent occupation of the
southern part of Persia by England
and the forerunner of Russia's LONG
threatened invasion of the northern
part.
Messages from Berlin today say that
this same fear is entertained there.
Russian troops in the Caucasus are
unusually active and are said to be
ready TO act al a moments notice. A
flood of communications Is now passing
between Constantinople, Vienna. and

TWOTESTS FOR THE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON TIMES.

Newspapers print on their first pages
what the editors believe will interest
the greatest number of readers. BY
this test, the Sunday edition of the
daily Times was fifteen hours ahead OF
both the Monday morning papers IN
practically everything that counts. If
you read yesterdays Times you had the
news on time. If you didn't you got
it this morning, perhaps, p day behind
your neighbors.
Gagged by their headlines, each of
the Monday morning papers printed one
fresh article on its FIRST page, which
it thought likely to interest the great
est number of its readers-one item,
that is, in addition to the revamping
of a dozen in yesterday afternoons
Times. In one instance it was de-
scription of the present condition of the
Niagara river. In the other it was an
announcement that the baseball season
opens today. Otherwise, the news en-
phasized had to do with the following

of hope and ambition. No more en-
couragement could be asked than the
fact that the demand in the Chelsea

good reason for the prediction that in
few years time the city will be as

So does this smaller city in Massa-
