Guard Wiped Out.

A guard of twenty-five soldiers
leisurely protecting the palace gate
was wiped out by a rebel shell that
tore through the main entrance and
wrought havoc in the grand hall.
The encampment of federal troops in
the Zocala or Plaza de Armada. the
square in front of the palace, had to
be evacuated before nightfalI because
of the deadly shower of shells. The 10
Gala had been regarded as safe. Fifty
non-combatants, refugees from en-
dangered houses, VINO had sought haven
in the parks, were killed when the

The Man
Who Was
A Sheep

probably saw very little humor
in the extraordinary situation in
which he found himself, but the
story of his troubles and how he
survived them is one of the fun
niest things that has been writ
ten in long time. It is told by
A. S. M. Hutchinson. the young
English novelist, and it is only
one of the seven uniquely inter
esting short stories in Harper's
Magazine for November.
Another feature rich in humor
is the article by Madame de
Hegermann Lindencrone, the
American wife of a famous diplo-
mat who was the Danish minister
to Washington during Grants ad-
ministration. In these delightful
letters we meet on an intimate
footing such men as Blaine, Bay
ard, Conkling, Dom Pedro OF
Brazil, Longfellow, Won Bulow,
the great musician, and dozens OF
others equally famous. And all
the fun which the author had in
these early diplomatic experiences
is reflected in what she writes.

Two Forms of Piracy.

From the New York World.

prevent the enforcement of the taxicab
ordinance on high constitutional grounds.
| the hotel and taxicab companies are in
| spired by the same noble devotion to
principle. They have practiced piracy
SO long on the streets OF New York that
they have come to regard It as vested
right.
In southern China the river pirates work
upon an admirable system of their own
not based upon anything so trivial as
constitutional theories 1t Is understood
among them that each band of pirates
shall exercise exclusive rights to levy
toll upon all traffic, goods and passengers
for q certain number Of miles up and
down the river. No junk can pass
through their territory without paying
the pirates price, and no honorable pirate
will trespass upon other pirates pre-
serves.
BY grace of the taxica5 companies and
their faithful allies. the hotels, the streets
of New York have so far remained open
to traffic and the public mas been at
liberty to walk or ride IN street cars
methods of eXtortion. They have been
content to decree that no one shall use
a taxicab from a hotel stand without
paying the tolls of piracy. 1t was
generous concession, and only an un-
grateful public has resented it. But If
they win their present fight, as special
wards Of the Constitution, will they be
satisfied to claim ownership Of only part
Of the public streets?

has been upbuilt during the past fifteen
or twenty years; an art library which Is
very comprehensive and is open to all has
been assembled and set apart. and numer
Gus extremely notable exhibitions have
been arranged and given. There is always
a display inviting pleasurable study to be
found in the halls to the south ON the
second floor Of the great library build
ing. And for the use Of students there Is
a vast amount Of material in cases and on
shelves which is readily available.
In the current number Of the Print Col
lector's Quarterly. published by the Mu-
scum Of Fine Arts. Boston. is found an
extremely interesting article on the divi-
sion of prints by Arthur jeffrey Parsons,
chief of the division since its inception.
With full appreciation Mr. Parsons writes

Garrett collection, no less generously

gary, which have greatly enriched our ma
tional print collection. The salient fea-
lures of each of these collections he care
fully emphasizes, and one can but remark
the amazing way in which almost through
accident these great gifts seem to sup
plement each other.
OF the prints secured through the oper-
alton OF the copyright law Mr.. Parsons
has much to say in commentator. The
common assumption that a mass OF
trash is accumulated in this way to
the detriment of the division he states
to be altogether an error.
The law which requires the deposit OF
an article in the copyright Office" he ex-
plains, docs not require its transfer to
the library proper, still less its retention
there And, In fact, hundreds Of thou
sands of articles deposited never find
their way to the collections Of the library.

THE LIFE OF LYMAN TRUMBULL,
BY Horace White. Boston: Hough-
ton Mif1in Company.
The eighty-three years of Lyman
Trumbull's life moved concurrently with
the most momentous and poignant period
Of our national existence. His eighteen
years OF public service as United States
senator from Illinois began just as Ste

ereignty." the principle of 'locai option"
applied to slavery, in the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill. thereby repeating the Mis-
souri, compromise. Then followed the
war in Kansas as sequence of this act.
and the Lecompton fight. the John
Brown raid, the election of Lincoln, Sc
cession, the civil war, Lincoln's death,
reconstruction and on through Grants
first administration. In these over-event-
full years Mr.. Trumbull was a strong,
active, salutary force in public life. 1t
Is upon such brilliant background that
this distinguished writer traces the life
of Lyman Trumbull in sympathetic and
comprehending detail. making of this
