A decidedly interesting packet of books Bas come to hand this week from Harper & Bros. The least pretentious, in that 1t is the smallest of the pumber, contain a very odd tale by Garrett P. Serviss titled ““The Moon Metal.” Jules Verne could not bave written this story with more iu- genuity than its aumor nas shown. A chemist discovers the secret of drawing from the moon a metal unknown The new metal becomes the « the world, gold having beco as iron, owing to the discov deposits at the South Pole.

It is a lively romance of the s of Charles 11, full of life, action and sword-play.

It came unheralded as the first work of a young girl, but it struck so true that it was caught up by 1.000 tougues and Hallie Ermine Rives stepped in a day Into | fame. In “A Furpacg of Earth” the author has anticipated the pendulum swing of pub- lic taste and bas produced a novel with a striking sex problem as its motive. It 1s & study of the conflict, in the mind of a young Birl, between human and spiritual love.

Price, $1.25 “Robert Orange,”” by John Oliver Hobbs, 1s a sequel to “The School for Salnts” and a worthy sequel, but it may be read very well as single production and so read it will produce an abiding impression on any thoughtful mind. Robert Orange is a Ro- man Catholic and from the beginning was destined for the church. The whole object of the book is to show how by ot his love Robert Orange was led into the full light of self-knowledge. The author herself says that Robert perfod and not to be judged by the standard of modern liberalism. He is an embodi- ment of the mind and methods and motives of the days of Disraeli. The book is emi- nently religious, but it is conspicuously bright also. It is political, but It is also witty. It is philosophical, but it is also shrewd. 1t is an artistic collection of char- acter studies, but they are all human and nearly all of individual and original types. It does not lack in action and in it many love stories run their troubled course sim- ultaneously. Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York. “A Private Chivalry,”” the latest one of Appleton’s Town and Country Library, is by Francis Lynde, well known in ratlroad circles in the middle west and at one time a resident of Denver. The hero of the tale although for a time a faro dealer in a wes!- ern mining camp, is college bred and every inch & gentleman. Having made up his mind to reform he selects Denver as his new home, but Denver is too far west and the story of his past career seeks him out and makes bis upward path hard to pursue. The traits of the man are such that every one must admire his character and follow with iutense interest the dilemmas into which he falls. The book is sufficiently ex- citing to suit any one and is withal a very pleasant story to read. D. Appleton & Co., New York. Price, $1 A volume of short stories by Frank R SBtockton is always sure of readers, and his latest book, “Afloat and Ashore,” deserves & wide circulation, for it contains some of his best work. The title is supposed to cover all the tales, some of which are con- cerned with adventures on land and others with episodes at sea. All the stories bear marks of Mr. Stockton's pecullar ingenuity nd all are made very good reading by his sunoy bumor. One of the best stories is “The Buller-Podington Cowmpac with its pecullar climax in which the man afraid of a horse is nearly wrecked in a stream, while the man whom the water terrifies fig- ures in & runaway accident on the canal with & boat in place of a wagon. ““The Ro- mance of & Mule Car" is a heautiful love 1dy), charmingly told. “Struck by a Boom- o earth, | y of immenss | is a epirited | of the | attract at- | continents | the light | Orange was a| representative man, typical of his feverish | | 1s a detective romance with some | tures.

Mr. | Dewet's A handsomely volume contains bound and fllustrated the memoirs of Countess Pot, which have been translated into English by Lionel Strachey. The gifted | writer was a member of one of the oldest, | noblest and most patriotic Polish familfes. The memoirs were composed between 1812 and 1520 and cover the period between the third partition of Poland and the incorpora- tion of what was left of that country Into the Russian empire. The countess wrote in a vivacious and entertaining style, which 1s apparent in even the English translation. Apart from her plctures of Napoleon and of many other famous historical characters, this journal reveals a naive, but charming perzopality, Gallic in its clever quickness and perception, yet withal that of a nature always pure and womanly in spite of the times and the surroundings. One gets to teel very' intimate with the author after reading her frank tale of how after the | usual “‘marriage de convenance, she tried | to arouse her husband’s interest and pique him into showing more affection by writ- |iog a love-letter to herselt and dropping it where he must find it.

In explaining the purpose of the club and its probable scope, one of the officers said “Although it has been in existence less than a month, the Omaha Press club has now a membership of over 100 men and has already taken its niche in the club life of the city. So far no one has signed the roster of members except thoze who are actually engaged in newpaper work, thouga provision has been made in the con- stitution for an associate membership to | be mada up of professional men whose vo- cations are such as to bring them in con- tact with the mewsgathering force of the press. | on the three daily and the several woskly | papers to organize a club and establish | rooms for its use were various. It was felt | that good resuits would be obtained by a | closer acquaintance among the newspaper men, that it would tend to promote & cor- dlality and sense of good-fellowship and that it would furnish an attractive lounging place for the men when their work for the duy was over. It is the intention of the club to maintain a library, writing and reading rooms and possibly later on & cafe where lunches can be obtained at cost price. In addition to these, it s planned to glve informal entertaizments during the winter to the friends of the newspaper men and to provide a place where visiting mem- bers of the profession can find a place to | rest and touch eibows with their fellows in the work.

As Dewspaper men are not usually burdened with a large accumulation of surplus funds, a benefit entertainment was declded upon.
