APPOINTMENT
AROUSES CRITICISM

The appointment OF stephen c. Baldwin
OF Brooklyn by Gov. Glynn to investigate
the newest Sing Sing prison scandal has
aroused storm OF criticism from de-
positors In the insolvent Union Bank and
rom Gov. Glynn's political opponents.
They maintain that Sing Sing Will have
another coat Of whitewGsh at the expense
- the State.
The objection 10 Mr.. Baldwin 4. that
n, has been connected with the Union
Bank case ~ the capacity OF counsel for
officials of the bank
Gov Glynn said yesterday that ne did
not know Mr.. Baldwin personally but
rad appointed him on the advice OF In
tiuentlal attorneys In Brooklyn. He
seemed surprised 10 learn that Mr.. Bald
win Is attorney for Edward VI. Circuit
who was president of the Union Bank
when that institution closed its doors
COR the last time. and that Baldwin had
served papers on District Attorney Crop
sey OF Kings yesterday requiring him 20
show cause why the indictment against
circuit for making false report In con-
nection with the Union Bank scandal
should not be qua,hed.

UNREFRESiNNG SLEEP

The woman who is tired out, who
aches all over when she risesin the morn
ing, who feels depressed most of the
time, needs just the help that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills can give her-new blood
and stronger nerves.
The number of disorders that are caus-
ed by thin blood is amazing and most
women are careless about the condition
of their blood. Quickly the nerves are
affected and the patient becomes irrit-
able, worries over trilles, does not sleep
as we'll as formerly and is not refreshed
by rest. There may or may not be
stomach trouble and headache. This is
a condition that calls for DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, the non alcoholic tonic.
Give DR.. Williams Pink Pills trial
and the first sign of new life will be
noticed in your appetite. You will be
hungry by meal time. As the blood be-
comes enriched it feeds and soothes the
irritated nerves, sleep becomes sounder
and more refreshing, your worries be-
come less, your work lighter. These are
some of the things that these tonic pills
do. Try them for any trouble caused by
thin blood.

ectady, N. Y, will mail free to any

Women" Your own druggist sells DR..

A TRIP ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

TRIP ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
Here in the Northern States we have
comparatively little idea of the interest
and excitement that could be crowded
into voyage on the Mississippi River
or the enjoyment passengers took from
it in the palmy days of that rivers traffic
before the Civil War. In his 'Gldeon's
Band, Tale of the Mississippi" George
w. Cable has undertaken to give the
readers vivid pen picture of such d
trip. He places his incidents at the time
when the rivalry between the famous
lines of steamboats, was at its height and
has the family of the owner of one great
line as passengers on the crack boat of
rival owner, at a time when cholera
breaks out on the lower decks. The ro-
nance he weaves through the story is in
teresting, but the book will undoubtedly
always be known as the best description
of trip on the Mississippi yet published.

THE LURE OF LONDON.
In ''The Lure of London" will be
found an admirable descriptive state
ment of the attractions of the largest
city in the world. 1t is by Lillian w hit
ing, who has already described other
cities and lands, and who instinctively
knows what will appeal to the average
reader. The story of course touches
past history, but for the most part it
deals with the outward London. No eff
fort is made to delve deep in reforms,
but rather the reader is carried from one
picture to another More than 30 illus
trations brighten and enliven the text
and the whole embraces more than $50
pages of description. To Americans til
charm of London must always be appeal
ing, and Just at this time when ties OF
sympathy are closer than in the past,
the kinship of generations seems little
warmer Tn ere is much to hold the at
tertion of the traveller in London, and it
is these fea lures that the author brings
to the readers attention. Boston: Little,

''HISTORIC HOMES OF NEW ENGLAND. -
No other section of America can show
the same number of romantically and
historically interesting old homes as can
be found in the six New England States.
In a new volume, entitled "Hlstorlc
Homes of New England" Miss Mary
H, Northend. author of Colonial Homes
and Their Furnishings, has described
and shown in beautiful illustrations the
most famous and interesting Of these old
structures. More than score of these
old Colonial homes are pictured and de-
scribed. For the most part, they are
privately owned structures and the ro-
mantle episodes connected with them. as
we'll as the clever descriptions and the
magnificent illustrations showing the
architectural heauties and the charm OF
their old-time furnishings, indicate very
clearly the unrestricted access Miss
Northend has enjoyed and appreciated.
She writes in full sympathy with the
great and lasting fascination these
buildings hold for those interested in the
early days. The book is one which should
grace the library of every New England

HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA.

When Gertrude Atherton writes a
book her alert mind never fails to bring
into prominence the human interest side
of the undertaking in hand. This COM
ment applies appropriately to Cali

represents her latest effort in the his

California assures an enthusiastic study
of its past history, and her skill in Sc
passing by the commonplace factors is
evidenced by its general plan and ar

of yesterday and of today. There are
many illustrations and the % chapters
embrace all the romantic features of this
great and growing State. Knowing her
devotion to her native State, it is no sur
