LIFE OF TOM JOHNSON.

Tom l.. johnson. Mayor OF Cleveland. BY
Carl Lorenz The A. s. Barnes Com
pany, Publishers. New York
This is highly laudatory biography
of Mr.. Johnson. tt places him in the
front rank Of statesmen, as a decade
ahead Of his time, and as a prophet of
the new era. The author says in his
introduction that "ten years ago Tom
johnson announced the programme of
our politicians of today, and was then
derided as a socialist The author
of this work not only docs full Justice
to Mr.. Johnson g activities and his
memory, but is highly appreciative of
him as man, as a statesman, and as
benefactor to humanity. He says
Of the final scenes of Mr. Johnson IS
life: Pathetic in the extreme was
his final defeat, his family mis-
tunes, his sickness, and his heroic fight
with an incurable disease And so it
was. Throughout it all Mr.. Johnson
bore himself with the heroic fortitude
of high-type American, and was
moro beloved and trusted the more the
public knew of him, Of his high aims,
and 'of his unselfsh purposes. John
sons life is well summarized in the
following:
Tom l.: Johnson entered politics with
a large fortune and a resolve to devote
tho rest OF his days TO the welfare of the
people, His great political battles, his
dogged fight against the street railway
monopoly for a three-cent fare and uni
Versal transfers, his attack upon the
privileged classes, his eXertions for mu-
nicipal reforms his utter disregard of
most picturesque figures OF our modern
political life.

EDUCATION IN MUSIC.

The Education of Music Lover A
Book for those who Study OF Teach
The Art of hab,ThnS BY Eqwdrd
scribner's Sons. New York
This work is appropriately described
as for those who study or teach the
art of listening, because music for the
most part is for those who listen, and
in very much less degree for those
who perform. The author, who is Pro
fessor of the History and Criticism of
Music in Oberlin College, proceeds on
the assumption that all art is akin, and
that music is the finest cf the arts.
But this premise may very fairly be
put in doubt, and this without in the
least challenging the groundwork OF
merits of this book. The author has
given us here, as he explains, can at
tempt to interpret music to those who
already love it on slight acquaintance,
and desire the full enjoyment which
comes with larger knowledge" In
the valume the author has had in mind
mature grade of students as well as
of teachers, for since ii is not in any
sense text book, it has seemed best
to him to expound music from higher
and more comprehensive view, leaving
it to those who read his book to apply
his suggestions to their own particular
needs and circumstances There are

PRICE COLLIER ON THE EAST.

The West in the East, from an Ameri-
can Point Of View. BY Price Collier.
Published by Charles Scribper's Sons.
New York.
The author of this book is famous for
always having something to say when
he begins to write. With respect TO
the writing OF this book, he holds that
the history Of an Individual or OF
a nation can only be written impair.
TALLY by one who stands apart and
at distance. and whose impressions
and opinions are not smothered by de-
tails or prcjudices. The idea is, that
the person so standing apart, and view
ing the people or nation, instinctively
constructs his views and measurements
by comparing that individual or nation
with other individuals and nations
which are familiar to him. The author
saws. GA little knowledge may be a
dangerous thing. but too much knowl.

further, "A years travel may mean

to say as much for the following
The reader of this book will feel,
upon closing it after perusal, that no
matter how high an opinion the author
may have of his observations, general"
i2ations, and comparisons of the diff
ferent peoples OF the Orient, that opin.
ion is fully justified by the text of
the book. The author explains how he
went to the East, how he reached
India, what ne found there. not only
in the usual spectacular exhibits, in re-
ligion and caste, but in the personality
Of his highness, the Maharaja, and in
general Of what a visitor may see In
India who wants to look below the sur
face. Then he passes to considera-
tion Of the Japanese, of the Koreans,
and the Manchurians. His chapter in
conclusion is a summing up of the re-
suits, and Of his judgments upon the
things and the people he has seen. 1t
is certainly an Illuminating book, one
of the best that we have seen of the
Oriental countries and Oriental peo-
Piles. There is NO loss of space in
wenrisome descriptions of things that
we have all read descriptions of here
tofore. And there is no setting forth

Brazenhead the Great. BY Maurice Hew-

Sons. New York
This is story In which Mr.. Hewlett
gives rein to his riotous fancy in the
romantic vein. He has created a hero
here somewhat like Falstaff, mixed
with Munchausen, adding to the mix
ture of characters a brazen audacity
and successful accomplishment that
makes Brazenhead most entertaining
creation of fiction. He runs riotous
GogTs1 s haeing his s.oyn oWn way
position, and coming at last into a
mood which meets with a sort of an oc-
cult reincarnation of himself, which is
the end of the book. 1t is romance
of stirring Imagination, and Of fancy
run riot, all told In Hewlett g most in
viting and successful vein.

THROUGH FIRES OF AFFL1cT1oN

Esther Damon. BY Mrs. Fremont Older
Published by Charles Scribners Sons
New York.
This is a story in which the heroine
Esther Damon, is made to play many
parts. She is attracted and enthralled
by handsome rascal in the village in
which she lives, a man who is utterly
constituencies, a base imitation In
every way, and she is betrayed. A fea-
ture of the story is her treatment by
her rigidly pious father, who is a
preacher, an uncompromising stickler
for conventional morality and is cruel
and relentless towards the girl when
he finds that she is an outcast from
society, He thereupon proceeds to
cast her out from his house and home,
in spite of the pleadings of her mother.
The girl, however. finds consolation
in the pure regard, friendship and trust
Of the leading man in the village, who
has passed through the fires of afhic-
tion himself. The friendship between
the two is wholly platonic, but has the
usual evil results IN causing jealousy
on the part of the man 8 wife, a zeal
ousy which drives her to insane fury
against Esther. The complications in
the story are such as might easily oc.
cur In common life, and the author has
brought them out very fully and free
ly TO conclusion that is, on the whole
the best possible for NIL concerned il
is a story wildly written, with a sym
pathetic interest in the unfortunate

and the story is concerned with the
fortunes of Elinor Ladoon, charming
American girl, who has gone abroad
after an unfortunate love affair to
visit an old maid aunt in this Riviera
hotel Immediately upon her presence
being known, and it. being bruited
about that the girl was an American
heiress, the homage of the fortune

results in adventure, in animosities, and
In vigorous intrigues Of various sorts.
1t is a right good, entertaining story,
based upon the well-known fortune
seeking habits of the impocunious no.
blemen abroad; and the meanest. most
sordid qualities are brought out here
in excellent fashion. Every American
will read the story, not only with in

This is one of the favorite English
authors with the American public, His
novels are always first-class, his skill
being very great, and his power of
imagination Characterization, and set
ting of scenes being unusually strong.
The story deals with charitable hos
pital for, decayed gentlemen. The in
mates being entirely idle, put in their
to do. This reduces what was intended
TO be n happy and comfortable home

and ruffling of features. The hospital
is ruled by an easy-going old warden,
who has the finest intentions. but
whose administration is absolutely in
effective. AS usual in such cases, how
ever, his next in authority usurps con-
troll In this case the sub warden is a
dominating character. not only of the
most rigorous church type, but of the
most narrow and obstinate personality.
This is what the story teller finds TO
begin with The intent of the story
is to show bow a little community of
this kind can be reclaimed, and made
sweet, harmonious, charitable, and
kindly. This result is brought about
in the story by the presence of lit
personality of that child teaching them
to forget their selfishness and cease
their hopeless wrangllng. They are
all shipwrecked lives, but those lives
blossom into a new hopefulness and
aspiration from the contact with this
winsome girl 1t is beautiful story,

THE OLD CONSUL SERVICE

The Consul. BY Richard Harding Davis.
Published by Charles Scribner's Sons.
New York
This is story based on the former
consular system of the United States,
which the author says in his prepara-
tory note, has passed away, and "in-
Vulnerable reforms have been brought
about in the consular service.'' HIn
consequence" he adds, f'to suggest
that the story is picture of present
conditions would be most unfair" and
yet doubtless there are consuls of
whom the tale told here would be no
great exaggeration even today. Need.
less to say, being written by Richard
Harding Davis the story is one put in
the most vivid form, and is eminently
worth reading.
