Master Samuel Pepys's library. preserved by

the order which he enjoined upon the nephew
TO whom he devised it for his lifetime. Gould

slant Succession of Heirs from my SAID
nephew qualified like himself for the use OF
such Library, l should not entertain the
thought of its ever being Alenated from them.
But conscious of "the ordinary fate of sucn
Collections falling into the hands of an incom-
petent heir and thereby of being sold, disSl-

time has proved the wisdom. Magdaen College
has so carefully dealt with these valuable books
that they have been in large measure shut
away to all save students; but it Is stated tnal
conditions are now somewhat relaxed and 1t
will be possible for booklovers to enjoy them
more at their ease in future. Some OIL the
books from the library were, by permission OF
the master of the college, exhibited at the re-
cent meeting of the photographed Society In
London. This, it is said, was probably the
first occasion for nearly two hundred years on
which any of these volumes had been taken
from the college for such purpose. A descrlp-

New-York tribune., 1909-01-10

The author possessing faculty for adver-
tising himself is a familiar enough type, but
even the most adroit of the craft seems an
amateur beside the ingenious German who has
lust been scandalizng his fellow countrynen
half out of their senses. He has got himself
arrested for his pains, but nothing can deprive
him of the distinction of having added new
shudder to literature. His idea was to procure
for his novel wide circulation that the
profits would be enormous He hired an office
in Munich and there for year and a half he
wrote caused to be written, some 100000
letters running as follows:
Dear Herr So-and- I have just read the
latest novel with a purpose, "Double-faced
Morality" Inconceivable scandal of the
worst kind. We here once more that the
Public Prosecutor fails where he is most neceS-
sary, for otherwise such a book could never
obtain publication. Or is it piece Of political
the anonymous author. At any rate, H. and K.
are attacked in the most terrible manner, and
will be bound to take action. Will you, too,
associate yourself with this prosecution? I'm
happily, l have been drawn into the affair as
well. TerribleI In haste, yours very truly.
Nobody could read the scrawlng signature,
but the letter was too obviously a personal
communication for any one to doubt its good
faith, and the bookshops were beSieged by
wouId-be purchasers of the novel Unfortu-
nately for this inventive genius he sent out too
many letters, recipients began to compare notes
and the police were called in.
New-York tribune., 1909-01-10

Mr.. George Russell finds some curious"
aspects about the whole question of the Illus
tratiOn of imaginative work. The creative
artist is hardly ever satisfied in this matter.
Even Thackeray, who Illustrated his own
books somewhere WhimSically complains of bis
artists limitations TennysOn frankly con-
fessed himself disappointed with certain illus
tratiOns to the Brook and Christina ROssett
simply wrote the word Alas on the cover of
an illustrated edition of Goblin Market" The
curious thing is of course, that as Mr. Russell
says in THE Manchester Guardian such eX-
pressons of opinion are not necessarily crit-
cisms of the artistic worth of the pictures
They indicate, in his opinion, only that the
conceptions of the artist claShed with the pre-
conceptions of the poet They indicate also the
possibility that poetry, at all events, is quite
beyond the scope Of the illustrator, man of
genius though he may be. One may easily re
call any number of designs made for poetry
that have touched the imagination, and, if you
like, seemed actually to meet every possible
requirement. Blake, for example, gave to one
passage in the Book of Job a pictorial form that
is extraordinarily poetic Other instances might
be cited Yet if one could trace the last psyche
LOGICAL secret of enjoyment and appreciation
one might be compelled to admit that the spell
of the artist was worked more independently
Of the poet than one had thought

THE TRIP VAN WINKLE" sue
CESS.

The familiar drama of Grip Van
Winkle' is a remarkable example not
only of the value of ignorance as a
heroic attribute, but also of how the
sympathies of an audience may be won
for an unworthy object by means of
meretricious but clever trick
Scores of persons tried, without sue
cess. to dramatize Washington Irving's
story, but it was not until that most
gifted of all play-builders and stage
carpenters, Dion Boucicault, took the
book in hand that an acting play was
created. Boucicault saw at glance
that something must be done to make
this village drunkard acceptable to the
women in the audience. and he did it
by deliberately trading on the femi-
nine fear of thunderstorm IF Rip
had been put out of doors on a fair
afternoon the piece would not have
lasted week; but little bit of stage
thunder and lightning produced an
artificial respiration that bids fair to
keep it alive for eternity. For every
woman thanks her stars that she is not

full storm.-McClure s.

Ballinger and Mir. Hill then got into the Tourist car, which had been loafing along trying not to go too fast for them. In this car were Dr. A. J. Chandler of Mesa and Mir. Carr, MT. Ballinger's secre- tary. MT. Hill's car was left at Fish creek and was still there yesterday. Those who could not squeeze into the other car took horse and wagon.
 The return trip was made in fast time. Three hours and three-quarters does not break any records, but it is pretty good speed on the Roosevelt road in its present condition.

RAILROAD NEWS AS TOLD BY
 TEXAS PAPER

The following article concerning railroad matters in this section of Arizona is from the Fl Paso Herald, of Friday:
 That the PhelpSDodge interests are promoting the new railroads in the Burro mountains is denied by H. J. Simmons, general manager of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad. MT. Simmons also denies that the South western contemplates any further railroad building at this time and when asked why the company has just increased its capital from. $16,- OOO,O to $25,OOO,OOO, replied that he supposed it was to take care of the Courtland extension and general i'm provement work that had been done of late, including reballasting some of the track and relaying a great deal of it with heavier steel, as this out lay had been heavy.
 It is reported that the Chemung Copper company is supposed to be building the Burro mountain road, and this company is said to have no connection with. the Phelps-DOdge in terests. This company is said to have been formed by the same people who promote the c. &A. company of Bisbee. James Douglas, fin charge of the work for this company, did not intend eventually to build to San Diego or at least to Yuma and con meet there with the Spreckles line to San Diego, to compete with the South ern Pacific.
 "The Southern Pacific is not build ling into Douglas and Bisbee so far as I know" he repled. This company is building from Courtland down to Cananea, understand, but not to iBisbee and Douglas"
 The s. P. Already has connection with its Cananea branch from Nogal' es, at Cananea. but the new line from Naco to Courtland will give it short CT haul into Cananea and will virtual Fly take all the Cananea freight busi' mess away from the Southwestern as railroad men here understand 1t.

.BALL|HGER SAW WORKMAN FALL
 ID DEATH

One of the startling incidents of the rapid trip of Secretary Ballinger to Roosevelt which has not been related before was the spectacular fall to his death of one of the workmen on the dam a few minutes after the secre- tary and his party arrived at the dam site. The terrible spectacle was wit messed by MT. BaHinger, who was within fifty feet of the spot where the man struck, says the Arizona Repub- lican.
 Several men could be seen at work on the very top of the dam, slowly dropping huge stone into it's hitch from the derrick. One of the work men, whose name could not be. learn ed. stepped out to swing, the stone into position. He placed his foot on tie green cement, slipped and fell.
 Those who have seen the dam will remember that a flight of stone steps, each step two feet wide on the face and three feet high, leads from the base to the apex. They are like the steps of the pyramids, except for the faCl that they are higher than they are broad.
 When the Iaborer slipped he tried to save himself by jumping to a step below. There for a moment he bal laced, swinging his arms. Then he toppled, striking the steps far below on his back and rebounding to the stones lower down. The third time he struck on his head and was undoubt edly killed at that point. He contin ued to roll or fall the entire distance something over 1S0 feet, to the bot tom.
 A call was instantly sent in for q physician. even before the man was examined. Men from the power house then rushed out and found him dead
 4 graphic account of the affair was given by L. J. Fremeau, who drove the big tourist car that carried Sec retary Ballinger and party to the dam and back. Fremeau had just deposit ed the party at headquarters and was returning to the power house wher he saw the man fall. He said that on the whole return trip he could not keep out of his mind the vision of tht man bounding like a rubber ball dowr the stone steps.
 The secretary of the interior vii not soon forget his Roosevelt trip He started out with Engineer Hill but Mir. Hills car was not on it's gooC behavior. It got as far as Fish creel and there baked. A slipping clutcl and burnt out connecting rod were
