De Morgan's new novel, when Ghost
Meets Ghost" IL is another long story
with many threads of narrative run
ming through il. A retired prizefghter
who lives in the Tottenham Court Road
is one of the chief characters. He is, it
is said, one Of the most humorous
beings Mr. De Morgan has ever de-
picted. The book will be issued by
Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. early in
February.

Charles Dickens was tall, slender. up

Bernard McManus, Jr., recently
nominated and confirmed as post
master at Cairo. to succeed Sidney
b. Miller, stated to a representative
OF The Bulletin last evening that he
could not positively state when he
would be installed into offiee, but
probably the date will be ON, or
abort January 25th according to the
last advices he had received.
The delay, as Mr. Miller's term of
office lad expired on December 20,
was due to the fact that other recent
and pr'or appointments, will take
precedence with their Induction into
office progressing as fast as possible
and as far as compatible with the
good Of the service. The method
Of installation will consist of the
United States inspector of tn, dis
trict. in which Cairo is located
checking out Mr.. Miller and induct-
ing Mr., McManus into the office, the
latter's bond having been approved
by the department
In connection with the appoint
ment Of Mr.. AIeManus, natur-
ally many persons are ap-
plicants for positions. As civil
service rules are in force in
rostoffices of the first class to which
Cairo belongs, only three positions
are available to the host of Demo-
Gratis seeking favors at the hands Of

1t is reported that 26 negro Demo-
Gratis in Cairo have already filed ap-
plications with Mr.. McManus for

so far has been made for the. job of

of the job as assistant custodian,

had been foul play in the casa Of
Miss Jessie Evelyn McCann the pret-
ty young Brooklyn heiress and
church worker, who mysteriously
disappeared December 1 and whose
body was found in the ocean at
Coney Island Monday, That robbery
was not the motive is shown by the
fact shat Miss McCann's jewelTy
was not disturbed. Detectives be-
lieve that she committed suicide in
fit of despondency resulting from

READY FOR RECOGNTrToN.

The new government OF Mexico is
approaching recognition by the United
States. Pres. Wilson expresses the
conviction that Carranza has the sit
uation we'll in hand despite disturb
ing reports OF Villas intentions which
have reached Washington.
Negotiations for recognition have so
far progressed that the president and
his cabinet viii take up the subject at
the meeting on Friday OF this week at
which time the disposition OF Ameri-
can naval and military forces occupy
ing Mexican territory will be dis
cussed. II conditions are found as
favorable as the president believes
them 10 be the United States govern
ruent will have no choice but 10 give
the Carranza regime the recognition
Il seeks and which is essential TO its
permanency.
And just here this government car
ries great responsibility. Recognition
involves some risk considering the
Mexican character. Carranza has out
lined his program OF political and
social reforms, but may not carry n
out In which case further insurrec-
tons are sure 20 occur. on the other
hand failure 20 recognize the Car
rama government would encourage
any discounted or ambitious person TO
rebel and prolong the disturbance.
villa is the only one OF the Mexican
leaders concerning whose future con-
duct apprehension is felt. villa was
biz factor in the elimination Of
Huerta. and ne knows il. The success
OF his campaign contributed principal
" 60 the reduction OF Huerta's power

treatment ne regards as his due ne is
