24, NEW PUBLICATIONS. FHE PILGRIMS IN THEIR THREE HOMES, ENGLAND, HOLLAND, AMERICA. By Will- fam Elliot Griffis. Boste: Houghton, Miffin & Company. Washington: Brentano's. Though the shelves devoted to American history and those branches that lead the Student into old world researches are fairly well supplied with literature concerning the character and works of the early settlers of. New England, the Pilgrims and the Puritans, yet there has thus far been prac- tically nothing done to trace the wander- in.gs of these devote1 people, especially the Pilgrims—as distinguished from the Puri- tars—before they reached these shores. The Present author has undertaken this task, and has produced a thorough account of the subject, as far as the records end avail- able data will permit. This research in- volves much interesting matter concerning the Erglish haunts of the Pilgrims before they emigrated to Holland, and necessi- es an historical account of the customs, manners and environments of the English people of the Yorkshire region in the days of Henry VIII and Elizobeth. Indeed, the author has reproduced the atmosphere that, gradually closing around the Pilgrims un- til they were in danger of moral and phys- ical suffocation, finally drove them out of Ergiand and ultimately to America, here to found a colony that formed one of the bulwarks of the republic. Incidentally there is given a wealth of biographical matter that makes this volume unusually valu- able. WHERE THE TRADE WIND BLOWS; West In- dian Tales. By Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield. New York: The Macmillan Co. A dozen stories comprise this volume, the work of one of Washington's best- known residents. Mrs. Crowninshield has spent time enough in the West Indies to absorb the atmosphere, and the result is an unusually striking book. Added to her acquaintance with the scenes and char- acters of which she writes, Mrs. Crownin- shield has a distinct literary style, result- ing in the creation and maintenance of in- terest in each of her stories of the pe- culiar Mfe in the islands south and east of the United States. The native temper- ament is admirably portrayed, the lack of energy and morals, and, in fact, of most of the virtues, being well suggested in the course of the comparatively brief nar- Tations. The first two storics, “Candace” and “A Christmas Surprise,” in which the same characters appear, are unusually strong and dramatic. Mrs. Crowninshield shows particularly well the tendency among these semi-tropical people toward @ certain dishonest shrewdness that at times almost amounts to positive genius fcr prevarication and peculation. The ro- mantic element that seems inseparable from the West Indian atmosphere is defgly but not obtrusively introduced. The cover of the volume carries a design drawn by Mrs. Crowninshield’s son, which was ac- cepted by the publishers without knowl- edge of his relation to the author. THE LARORER AND THE CAPITALIST. By Freeman Otis Willey. New York: The Equit- able Publishing Company. Mr. Willey discusses this large question in a broad manner, with consideration for all views. He shows the fallacies of the average argument of the socialist and speaks a zcod word for the modern meth- ods of transacting the world’s business. His research is thorough and his deduc- tions are with dignity in touch with the most reasonable propositions regarding the relations of the two great classes of humanity. To show the trend of modern thought toward the question of the hour, the author gives many quotations from a variety of sources, expanding the thoughts therein contained, in his own language, and according to each side a fair hearing. It is one of the most dispassionate surveys of the field that has appeared in a long time. The writing was done, apparently, in 196. Since then certain changes have occurred, but nothirg has intervened to shake the force of the cuthor’s general conclusion, that the sole note of alarm is that which the agitators sound themselves. THE SANDMAN. By Harriet Morgan. | Illustrated by Disie Selden. Cincirpati: The Editor Iub- Lsbing Company. Washington: Brentano’! The Sandman ts a familar character among children, the presiding genius over their dreai nd their guide into the most marvelous regions and experiences. In choosing the title so well known to the little folks Mrs. Morgan has cleverly in- troduced her series of exceptionally well- written stories for children. Mrs. Morgan Is well known in Washington, which has been her home for many years, and this product of Fer pen is sure to be appre- ciated, not only by the youngsters for whom it i written, but also by adults, wh« will find much en- tertainment in the course of the nine short Stories. The Sandmen introduces some bright little foiks to a serie adventures both n and instructiv irs. Morgan has a happy combination in her writing that is worthy of a better presen- tation in print than is given in the me- chanical work of this volume. WHO OUTLIVED HIMSELF. By Al Tourgee, author of : Errand,” ew York: Fords, d & Hulbert. William Ballantyne & Sons. Judge Tourgee has not been heard from in fiction for some years, and the present volume will revive many pleasant literary reminiscences and cquaintances. This volume contains three stories, the most striking of which is that whose title is borne by the book itself. In it is told the experience of a man who, losing his mind Qs the result of the strain attendant upon an injudicious speculation, disappears for several years from his haunts while he is treated as a stranger in an institu- healih tion. Upon his restoration he determines to live on died, and seeks to conce ithout succ » as he stored to his familv. and shows that Judg: menta s one wi 1 his identi is eventualiy re- The story is strong, e Tourgee’s pen has not lost any of the power with which it produced the works that made his fame. ples of Bad and of Alfred G. Compt pam's Sone. Wa This little handbook of correct English is the result of observations by the writer in the course of his work as an instructor in the College of the City of New York. In it he discusses many errors that are al- most idiomatic in their usage, and, by the presentation of interewting examples from standard and unexpected sources, he clear- v indicates the lines of avoidance for whe desirous of maintaining the ish language in some of its purity. ‘TING A HOME. y e watington: Senvess Sather Pubiieationg this beautifully printed volume of fitty-four pages Mrs. Miller gives an ac- count of her experiences in creating for herself a home.

Fleishman, Allegheny City, Pa. 7 -_ THE HARVARD UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE; 1807-08. Cambridge: Harvard University eee Sasol otated Editorials From The Star. ¥rom the Buffalo Commercial. The Washington Star is an independent Paper, and one of the best papers in the country. It has the opportunity, more- over, to hear and express the views of the dest class of men from all sections of the Union. It unquestionably reflects those sentiments when it says: “There should be no impatience on the part of the public respecting the movements of the naval court of inquiry.. There is every reason to believe that it -is ing with all the @iligence the occasion calls for. It is en- tirely competent to determine the amount of time necessary for the investigation. It alone is“in possession of information. The public, so far, only theories and speculation, prepai for it in some in- ances solely for sensational purposes.’’ From the Denver Times. The political aspect of the financial situa- tion is greatly worrying the Washington Star. It fs devout disciple of the “hon- est money” thecry, the gold standard and an unlimited supply of interest-bearing bonds. It therefore views with undis- guised alarm the unanimity of purpose and action with which the bimetallic forces are entering upon the work of the coming ccn- gressional campaigns. The Star is very near the source of political inspiration at Washington, and it, therefore, undoubtedly speaks by the card when it says: “Nothing is to be gained by shutting one’s eyes to the actual condition. The silver men are not only united, but ag- gressive. They are going into this year’s campaign confident of their ability to win, Enthusiasm counts heavily in politics. Mr. McKinley has just said that a_half-hearted effort never won a. ttle. There is no half-heartedness about the sil- ver men. They are dead in earnest, and they are staking all on their cause.” From the Lafayette (Ind.) “Journal. The advocates of silver restoration can take courage from the manifest fear of the enemy. A week ago The Washington Star sounded an alarm to the effect that bimetallists were “united and aggressive, while the gold monometallists were dis- united and halting between two opinions. The advocates of free coinage have only to continue their aggressive work to win a signal victory in-the coming elections. The people are with them. The next Con- gress will be democratic and the next President will not be owned and controlled by Wall street and its agents. From the Norfolk Landmark. In a recent editorial The Washington Evening Star, one of the country’s leading newspapers, pays to General Fitzhugh Lee a tribute which undoubtedly expresses the sentiment of the whole United States. Vir- ginia can justly feel proud of the confi- dence which is reposed in her distinguished son by the entire citizen-body of the na- tion, irrespective of politics or position. From the Raleigh (N. C.) News-Observer. The Washington Star says truly that the vote on the Teller resolution straight- ered party lines wonderfully. Referring te the republicans it says: “Quite a number of men in the House, as in the Senate, have been trying to.make it appear that they could be silver men and gold standard men at the same time, and have wanted the administration and the party in Congress to occupy a straddle attitude ‘in order to make it easy for them to stand on two platforms at the same time.” The Star is right in saying that the Teller resolution makes tt piain that strad- éling is at an end and demonstrates that “the republican party is not going to adopt the ‘do. something for silver’ policy in order to help statesmen who want to stand well with the silver people and the repub- licans at the same time.” The Star is also correct in saying that the vote is proof that neither party will cepart from the position assumed in 1896 and reassumed in the Teller vote either in the congressicnal elections or in the rext presidential election. All of this is like wormwood and gall te Pritchard, Linney and the other strad- dlers. From the Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle. We betieve that the following, taken from The Washington Star of March 3, reflects the views of nine-ter.ths of the citizens of New Hampshire: “The Hawaiian Islands ought to become American territory before the adjourn- ment of Congress takes place. The time is full ripe, and the people are waiting. The whole proposition has been canvassed with a thoroughness which leaves nothing in that lina to be desired. ‘The leading statesmen, the leading military and naval authorities, and many of the leading com- mercial authorities, have declared in favor of annexation and submitted the most con- vincing reasons why it should come at this time.” From the Buffalo (N. ¥.) Times. Mr. Pingree complains that capital is trying to fill too many offices at once, and Mr. Pingree ts in a position to declare that this is not a practical program.—Washing- ton Sta: And Governor Pingree not perfectly justified in making such a complaint? Is not the present tendency to concentration and coalition of wea'th all in the direc- tion of making “hewers of wood and draw- ers of water” of the many for the benefit of the few? From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Washington Star speaks of :the American nation as “a thoughiful news- paper-reading public.” As .a matter of fact, however, there are some newspapers which cannot be said to provoke to thoughtfulness, except of a somber kind. From the Bay City (Mich.) Tribune. ington Star pleads that Con- gress doesn’t hurt business. Not the busi- ness of Weshington,* but the whole coun- try would feel more like hustling if the currency doctrinaires from Medicine Lodge, Red Wing and Oshkosh were not aiming their heavily charged minds at the money question. From the Norwich (Conn.): Bulletin. Taik about jealousy among women! The Washington Star intimates that there is so much jealousy among men that the naming of the streets of the capital city after distinguished Americans is not fea- sible. From the Council Blaffs (lowa) Nonpareil. The Washington Star predicts that Wol- cott’s bid of 20 to 1 will find no takers. It's a sort of mock bid evidently. a tee THE SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS. Artist Watts and the Poet Austin Help the Movement Agninst It. From the Loudon Daily Mail. “It is with sorrow and shame,” reports the committee of the Society for the Pro- tection of Birds, “that we have to confess that the fashion of using the plumage of birds for millinery purposes continues un- abated, that, in fact, it had, in 1897, as- sumed greater proportions than ever. “This can be fully evidenced by studying the catalogues of the firms who sell the freshly imported birds’ skins and feathers by public auction. For the kingdom of Great Britain the year of 1897 has been one of jubilation, but for the bird kingdom a record year of pillage, devastation and un- merciful destruction. The recuperauve powers which birds possess are of no avail against this excessive drain on their num- bers. “If birds and their allies prove incapable of resisting such remorseless foes, the pres- ent generation of mankind will have te bear the everlasting odium of having blet- ted out of existence some of the loveliest of created beings. And not this only, bat of having done so often by barbarously cruel means, such as inflicting on sentient creatures, high in the scale of animal life the horrors of a slow and painful deat! fer in this pursuit parent birds of some species are shot in the act of feeding their young, and the tender nestlings are con- sequently left to die of starvation. “Mr. G. F. Watts, R. A., who has re- cently become an associate of this society, is now painting a picture representing an angel with bowed head and despairing fig- ure, bending over a marble tomb covered with birds’ wings, while a spirit of evil grins below. This conception may safely be said to forcibly represent the feeling of the society with regard to the trade in birds’ feathers.” The report was read at the seventh an- nual meeting of the society, held at the Westminster Palace Hotel, under the presi- dency of Mr. Montagu Sharp. Mr. Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, wrote: FLORENCE, February 10. Dear Madam: I have cnly just received your letter of the 1: Had I been in En land I would gladly have complied with your request. But you will not, I sure, lack other voices to plead the cause of the birds, that either by the genial spontane- ity of their notes, or the fascinating facil- ity of thelr movements, contribute so pro- digally to the joy and significance of life. Yours faithfully, ALFRED AUSTIN. P.'8.—The greatest stigma of the fair land from which I write is the ual harassing and slaughtering of birds its entire population. Hence their groves too sytvan often want that crowning charm— ‘wood-notes wild. *: —-ee—__+__ Rasing of the Fortifications-at Mets. From the New York Tribune. ~ _ THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1898-24 PAGES, of Mets are to be razed by order of the German government; but let not the advo- cates of European disarmament imagine that it 1s to be done as a measure to con- ciliate France, or in the leagt d gsan {pain n of a friendlier Tenling. toward the nh t 1 toward Alsacé an Lorraine as territory to be some time re- covered.

Also, though this is @ matter of no import compared with the consideration just named, they impede trade and industry, and take away light and air from many of the inhabitants of Metz. The day is still far distant when German forts are destined. to be pulled down or German swords beaten into plow- shares for the benefit of trade and industry or civic warfare. ——___+ e+_____ Havana Beggars. From the New York Mafl and Express, They beg every day in the week ‘along the streets of Havana, but Saturday is the legal holiday; that is to say, while the Police make no attempt whatever to in- terfere with the mendicants on other days, they encourage the practice on Saturday by contributing their own mite. It is the most common thing in the world to find a business man absolutely refuse to givé alms during the first six days of the week, but on the last day nearly every solicitor of charity who may visit. his store receives something or other. It is a strange custom, and one that reflects great credit on those people of the island who are able to give and who do. The laboring man, who works twice as hard as his fellow-creature up rorth, goes to ahd comes from his work every day during the week with the excep- tion of Saturday, without being disturbed hy oc paying any attention to the beggars. But on this one day an observer would lack the sentiment of a Newfoundland pup were he to fail to appreciate the delicate touch of goodheartedness that is displayed in the workingman, with -his small store sur- rounded by half a dozen or even a greater number of ragged children, to each of whom he’ gives at least a couple of cen- tavos. ———_—_~e-.
