H THE OMAHNA DAILY e e e BEE: WEDNESDAY, NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES More and Better Books 8old During Last Week Than Ever Before, MANY ATTRACTIVE HOLIDAY VOLUMES a8 Well as Mo Booksellers’ Shelves with Attractions. ‘The past week has witnessed the largest sales of books in the history of the city. Moreo booksellers report that the de mand has been for a better class of books than ever before. There has been the usual demand for cheap volumes—that is, for such as sell at $1 to $1.60—but the call for the morc expensive volumes, costing $2 and up to $3, Is unprecedentedly large. Book- sellers were wise when they put in a larger stock this winter than usual and it 18 partly due to the attractiveness of thelr counters that sales have been o large. It is rather rare that a publisher takes up an unknown author, accepts his book, and then discovers that he is famous, but such was the case with “The Inn of the Silver Moon.” The name of its author, Herman Knickerbocker Viele, carried no suggestion to the publisher's mind, which 18 apt to be too full of things literary to care for things sclentific, and it was only after the book was in type that it was discovered that Mr. Viele is o dis- tinguished a civil engineer as to have been intrusted with the enormous work of ex- tension of the city of Washington, which occupled six years and involved some mil- lions ot dollars. This aud other things took so much time, in fact, that little was left for writing, and even the small amount of work of this kind that was done was subjected to such severe critlcism by the author that he made no effort to publish it. “The Inn of the Silver Moon is therefore his first book, but it is hardly probable that 1t will be his last. Mr. Viele has too many talents for one man, for he paints victures that are hung in the Salmagundi club, and ho takes houses in Brittany and Holland and Touraine. His is a many-colored life, Herbert 8. Stone & Co,, Chicago. Price, $1.2 Frederick Travor Hill, a graduate of Yale and a member of the New York bar in active practice, is perhaps the first Ameri- can to write a volume of stories of American lawyers and their clients. His work in this new fleld should be interesting to the many thousands of lawyers throughout the coun- try as well as to the much greater number of those who have had experience as litl- gants or as jurymon. Mr. Hill's volume is entitled “The Case and Exceptions.” All the sub-titles are chosen with the like purpose of including a double meaning—one for the layman and one for the lawyer. Some of these titles are “Outside the Record,” “The Finding of kact,” ““The Cor clusion of Law,” ‘“The Burden of Proof." ““An Abstract Story By Way of Counter- claim,® “In the Name of the People,” “In His Own Behalf,” efc. There is in the storles themselves that blend of conflic mystery, excitement and authority, which as always made the legal life so fascinat- ing. Frederick A. Stokes & Co, New York. Price, 1.25 “Cupld’s Garden,”” a new volume of fiction by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, author of “The Farringdons,” “The Double Thread," etc., presents the author of “Isabel Car- naby” in a new light as a mistress of the art of story telling nccording to the French rather than the English school. A situation, ap, ineddent full of significance be- neath the surface a contrast, be- comes In her hand a theme for a charm- ing little tale which may move the reader to real emotion or to delight in the author's humor. The book as a whole represents the author in a lighter vein than “The Farringdons.”” It will appeal to all Miss Fowler's host of readers, and increase their admiration of her versatility and fine talent D.

To thoughtful men who feel that they cannot afford to negloct information on the rapid change of political motive, Prof. Jesse Macy's “Political Parties in the United States” 1s a book to be read. The first testing of the fully developed American system of political parties occurred in the contest which arose respecting slavery dur- 10g the Mexican war. The two parties had only recently become fully organized when called to face the new situation. In an attempt to grapple with the new lssue the party system falled, and the civil war was the result. Introducing chapters sketch the origin and nature of political parties in modern democratic states; their relations to democracy and despotism; the form of party organization as influenced or con- troiled by the form of government in the various states, with a detalled account ot the rise of the peculiar American party system. Prof. Masy Is professor of politicat science in Jowa college, and has already won some distinction in his fleld by his “Commentary vn the English Constitution." The Macmillian Co., New York. Price, $1. Forty years ago the first lines of Herbert Spencer's “First Principles” were written and now a sixth edition is published. The advance of knowledge fn many directions during Intervening years has made neces- sary sundry corrections in the illustrative paseages. Criticisms, too, have prompted a few modifications of statement, added to which are certain improvements in the exposition due to the further deveiopment of the author's own thoughts. However, nefther the objections made by others nor further considerations of his own have caused the great philosopher to recede from the general principles sct forth. The now edition s diminished by fifty pages, al- though containing wany additions, owing, as the author explaing, to the erasure of what he terms redundance—superfluous words, clauses, sentences and occasionally paragraphs. Bvery student of Herbert Spencer and every admirer of his philoso- phy will welcome this new edition, con- taining as it does the best cffort of his maturer years. D. Appleton & Co., York. Price, $2 “The Middle Five by Francis La Flesche, is a collection of stories describ- ing the experience of a lot of Omaha In dian boys at a mission school in the early days of Nebraska. The book has a local interest In that the author is himself an Omaha Indian, now occupying a govern- ment position at Washington, and that the different boys described were real, live Indian boys who first saw thé light of day in a tepee, wore moccasins and buffalo robe blankets and helped to make the early history of Nebraska interesting. Thera is pathos as well as interest in all the stories often jive the Indlan's view of the white man's customs and ideals. This is by all odds the finest boy's book of the season, as the stories are told with extreme natural- ness and with such truth of detai) that they cannot fail to appeal to the youthful imagination and fancy. Small, Maynard & Co. Cloth, o Perhaps no writer of young people's books ever enjoyed greater popularity than Martha Finley, " author of “The Elsle Books." Years ago “Elsle Dinsmore” was read with the greatest pleasure by the young people of the day and, though they may have read many others in later years, it is wafe to say that they have not for- gotten the pleasure derived from that most delightful story. A new volume is at hand, fresh from the press of Dodd, Mead & Co., entitled “Elsle’s Young Folks in Peace and War.” As might be surmised from the time of its publication the war portion of the story relates to the late unpleasant- ness with Spain.

Mayor Allen R. Kelly of South Omaha must either give bail or go to jail pend- {og @ hearing on the charge of bribery at the next term of the district court. The application for a writ of habeas corpus ex- empting him from posting security in the usual way was denied by Judge Baxter yes- terday afternoon after a hearing that lasted nearly all day. Kelly's attorneys at- tempted to circumvent the customary pro- ceedure by the plea that their client, being an executive officer, could not be held under the laws, as the statute relating to brib- ery mentions only ministerial and judicial officers, The point had been ruled upon by Judge Vinsonhaler in the county court in the same cuse a few days before, when a mo- tion had been made to dismies the suit on the ground that the complaint did mot allege a crime under the statute, The court held that an executive officer comes under the head, ministerial. In cousequence of | the hearing that followed, Mayor Kelly was bound over to the district court In the sum of $1,000. He declined to glve ball, and the writ of habens corpus removing him from the custody of the sheriff for the time being was an expedient to get the case before another court In the hope that the former ruling might be reversed. Intent of Legislature Connidere Judge Baxter based his idea of the Intent of the legislature in drawing up the stetute in question and on tha definitions of the word “ministerial” | as n in the various dictionaries. He sald tho intent of the lawmakers is plainly declision on his to punish people who resort to bribery and that the meaning of the word “min- isterial” cannot be copstrued different than signifying executive, as distinguished from judiclal. Judge Baxter referred to the rulings of Judges Wakeley, Neville and Buker on the same point, stating that their opinions would not be taken into considera- tion in the present caze. In concluding he ald I must hold that it is the intent of the legislature to include executive offices under the head ‘ministerial,’ and therefore it follows that the writ must be denied.” Kelly's attorneys asked to have their ex- ceptions noted and informed the court that thelr client would furnish bond imme- diately. The case will now be heard in the district court at the next term. Another hearing—that of the State against Kelly on the charge of accepting bribes from Thor Jorgenson and Myron Sherman to allow them to operate gambling houses without police interference—was to have come up In the county court yesterday morning, but was passed indefinitely, owing to the hearing in the habeas corpus case. A date for the hearing will be set at once. APPLIE S0 OR A RECEIVER, Owner of Millard Hotel Makes Second Attempt to Oust Manngers. P. J.

South Omah Thero is a great deal of complaint about the condition of the paved strets in the business portion of the city. Street Com- missioner Clark is doing the best he can with the funds at his disposal. In follow- ing out instructions from the mayor and council Clark has filled a great many washouts and has worked the road ma- chine on a number of the most important unpaved streets. In this way the fund has been exhausted and this accounts in a measure for the present dirty condition of Twenty-fourth street and also of N street There is one cause which has so far been overlooked by the city officials, and that is the passing out of handbills and the throwing of cards on the streets and sidewalks by solicitors. At the foot of N street cards, circulars and posters are being passed out nearly all day long by men fn the employ of Omaha and South Omaha merchants. As a general thing these cards or circulars are thrown onto the sidewalks or into the street without even a passing glance, and thus the walks and streets are littered and the sewers are clogged with waste paper Ordinance No. which was passed by the council on November 19, covers this feature and prohibits the . thing com- plained of, as it specifies that there shall be no undue influence brought to bear upon would-be purchasers such as the passing out of cards or handbills, etc. For violat- ing this ordinance there is a fine of not less than $10 and not more than $50. This plan of passing out cards and post- ers as a means of advertising is not coun- tenanced by the better class of merchants and the probability is that the city prose- cutor will be called upon to put a stop to the practice of littering the streets with cheap advertising matter. Clerk's Financlal Statement. City Clerk Shrigley has just issued a sta‘ement showing the condition of (he various funds at tho close of business on December 1. The amount of the 1400 levy was $100,739 and from this has been drawa $02,626, leaving a balance on the hooks of the clerk of $38,112. The balances in the funds follow: Interest, $14,508; judgment, $11,114; police, $1.452; fire, $112; public light, $1,101; salary, $4,069; enginecr, $718; general, overdrawn, $39; street repair, §7: epecial witness, $111; water, $1,516; spe- clal license, $2,208.

Well Ren- Feople, and njoyed by a entative Audience, gnal success was scored by the Wo- man's club in the concert given at Hoyd's theater Tuesday night for the benefit of the Omaba Auditorfum. It was attended by a representative Omaha audience, in point of numbers so large that the finan- clal success of the event was obvious, Ar- Ustically the affair was an undisputed triumph. The entertainment committee of the Woman's club, Julla €. Hoobler, IMa V. Tilden, Mary E. Dumont, Henrietta I Smith and Lilllan R. Harford, could hardly have chosen from the musical talent of this city more capable performers than those who so graclously coutributed their serv- ices to last night's concert The entertainment partook largely of a brilliant society event and the votaries of Omaha's social life were represented in large numbers. The patronesses of the oce casion were: Mesdames J. R. Buchanan, S. D. Barkalow, H. G. Burt, G. F. Bidwell, J. E. Boyd, W. J. Connell, E. A. Cudahy, Clement Chase, J. J.

General Fitzhugh Lee occupied one of the boxes, and in honor of tae dis- tinguished military man and his party the box assigned to them was handsomely draped in the national colors. Farce That Took W The program consisted of two parts. All of the numbers were musical with the ex- ception of Miss Day's recitation, and the one-act farce entitled, “A Meeting of the Directory.” This latter creation was most laughable one. Just what it was to bo was somewhat of a mystery, but the problem was of easy solution when the cur- tain rang up and showed the board of di rectors of the Omaha Auditorium seated at their usual noonday luncheon and busi- ness session. By means of successful make- ups the women participating in the farce had succeeded in making themselves re- semble to a marked and easily recognizable degree the members of the Auditorium board. There were wigs and false faces, false mustaches and beards and other sub- terfuge of the mask which made the re- semblance in several instances startlingly real. Jokes were sprung at random and this particular session of the auditorium committee was indeed a jolly one. The womer. who took a part in this were Mesdames H. B. Coryell, C. C. Belden, B F. Carpenter, F. H. Cole, J. 1. Cook, L. 0. | Shrader, Harry May, W, 8. Strawn, G. W. Shields, James T. Lee, Henry Hiller, C. M. Schneider, Misses Ethelwynne Kennedy, F. F.

Trefz expressed for them their thanks to the Woman's club and all who had as- slsted In the success of the entertainment. Rev. Trefz also spoke briefly relative to the auditorium profect, touchiug upon the clty's need in that direction and optimisti- cally predicting a successful issue of the campuign now being waged toward building such a structure Church Lighi; and Social Leaders Every community, however small, has its group of energetic women who lead and light the way in every social enterprise. If it is charity, a bazaar, a church fair, or any other benevolent undertaking, they | work day and night to make it a success. They are not the women who neglect their homes to erve the public. They simply do double service. Many a husband knows | what it is to bring his wife home from a fair or bazaar near the hour of midnight and sco her drop, in sheer exhaustion, into ¢ the first chair she comes to. While the lights were bright and the talk and laughter | were all about her, she didn't realize her own weariness. But once at home, exhaus tion overcame her. If a woman were thor- oughly robust, without ache or pain, she could not keep up this work without under- mining her health. What shall be sald then of those women who are not strong, who suffer from headache, backache, bear- ing-down pains and other consequences of a diseased condition of the woman organism? And these women are in the great ma- jority. There are few women who are free from diseases pecullar to their sex. BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS. That expressive saying not only suggests the most rapid form of waste, but also the most foolish. When a woman overtaxes her strength in any cause, whether in the enjoyment of soclal pleasures, or in the service of church or charity, she is rapidly hastening to the end of her public activity. The proof of this {s found right at home. Young matrons who are not dancing any more, church workers who are no more active; these have not stepped aside cause of loes of interest, but because lack of strength There is not a weak woman who would not like to be made strong again. There not a sick woman who would not like 10 be made well. And there is not the least reason, in ninety-eight cases out of every hundred, why women should continue to be weak and sick. The first step to the re-establishment of the general health ts to establish the local womanly health. “I feel that it is only my duty to send you a statement of my case,” writes Mrs Mary E.
