NEW BOOKS AND MAGAZINES Mid-Bummer Weather Limits the Number of Books Appesring. NATURAL HISTORY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE naries One the Beat Written and Most Enters taining Novels Pablished Thin W are In the midst of the hooksellers Aull season when few new books are being published and when the demand fis sup- posed to be reduced to the minimum through the absence at seaside or mour taln of the people of leisure who do the most of the reading in every city. Viewed In this light literature is only merchandise and like every other kind of commodity s dull as well as active scason. Publish era dislike thix idea of a dull season and are loath to admit that there I8 a dull time when puople can or do stop reading and they continue to bring out books all summer through, but in smaller numbers than during the fall and just previous to the holidays. During the last weck a number of volumes of more or less importance have come to hand, the most of them rather light reading and intended especially for the summer scason when heavy works are supposed to be at a discount, The most important book of the week and one of the most readable novels of the season s “The Kidnaped Millionaires,’ fradical and pleasing departure from prev- alent fiction. . Frederick U. Adams tends that the present is the most Inter- esting, thrilling and romantic period this world has ever known and he has certainly proven that its possibilities in the way of fictlon are great. The charm of the story conslsts in the impressive probabil- ity of a plot, which, at first glance, would seom lmprobable. By a natural chain of events thers Is evolved a situation splen- 4id in the dramatic Intensity of its inter- est. The scenes of the New York news paper office, the Inception and executlon of ever con- the Wall street panie which followed, the dlsmay of the mugnates when they found themselves captives on the high seas, the crulse of the Shark, the landing on Soctal island, Ita exploration, and the varted ad- ventures which befell Palmer J. Morton, Andrus Carmody, John M. Rockwell and Simon Pence (the sfx kidnaped million- aires), the superb detective work of the New York Record and Mr. Ber- nard Seymour, the rescue of the marconed magnates and the sequent attempt at their recapture are but a fow of the incidents which fill the 500 pages of this masterly work. Nothing in English literature has %o thoroughly embodied in the hurry of its style and treatment the teeling of the modern newspaper office. The sentences are short, as it spoken by some one who 18 out of breath from When reading of the events in Wall street 30 natural s the tone and so vivid is the pleture that one forgets that he s reading aud feels that be is seeing for himeelf. Some of the situations are decidedly amusing as well as interesting, as, for ex- smple, where the kidnaped millionaires examine the contents of thelr pockets and find that they are possessed of only a lim- ited amount of small change, whereas they could command milllons were they at thelr offices in Wall atreet. In addition to his great descriptive power the author pos- sesses a fine view of humor which adds much to the interest of the story. While it is impossible to tell in advance what the verdict of* the reading public will be it would seem as it this story of Mr. Adams’ possesses all the requisites of a popular novel and it would not be in the least sur- prising if it should become in the next few woeks one of the best selling books.

In this bullding the pilots who are await- ing thelr turn to be sent out may be found at all hours of the day or night. The offices are severely plain and have an alr of business about them, one of the im- portant pleces of furniture being a larg blackboard, on which the names of the | ptlots are chalked and the order in which they go on duty The clubrooms below are handsomely furnished. There is a | library, decorated with prints, paintings | and curios, and & cosy moking room, in | whieh pictures of pilot boats, old and new, anclent nautical instruments, antique pllots’ licenses, souvenirs of notable sea disasters | and portraita of well known pilots show | | that its decoration was the work of sallor The Pllot Club. About ninety pllots are members of this club, which was organized In 1895, when | the new order of things as to pilots for | the port of New York went into operation | Prior to that time there were thirty pilot | boats in the service belonging to New York {and New Jersey pilots. They crulsed as | far south as the Delaware capes and east | to Halifax. *“The boats were out for busi- | ness,” sald an old pilot, “and the farther | east they went the more chance there was of catching an Incomjng vessel. Those were the days when it was the practice to cover the light which a boat had to carry be- | tween the spring stays, so that rival boats could not see the venturesome pilots pass. it was a sharp race for first place, and the boats were built for speed on that account. | 1t was worth while to catch a vessel com- ing Into port, because the pllot who brought ber safe into port had the job, by common consent, to take her out again when she made the return trip. The pllote Kept making thelr trips longer every year, and there 1s no telling where they would have finished if the consolidation of the pilots’ Interests had not taken place In 1§95." In the days of competition the New York and New Jersey pilots had separate boats. Under the new arrangement they have com- bined, the fleot has been reduced to seven salling boats, of which two belong to the New Jersey and five to the New York con- tingent, and one steamboat, of which the New York assoclation owns seven-tenths and the New Jersey aseociation three- tenths. With a reduced fleet and the com- petition cut off the cruises of the Sandy Hook pilots were cut down unt!l now a pilot rarely goes more than fifty miles from port. The pllots are stockholders in the asso- ciation to which the boats belong, to the extent of $1,000 each and recelve their share of dividends, and in addition to this they have compensation ranging from $150 to $200 a month in keeping with the work performed. The Introduction of Steam. | The introduction of steam into the pilot service was a great step forward and the New York, the stanch boat which is de- slgned on the plan of a great lifeboat, with two saloons and twelve staterooms, has done such good service that a mew vessel of the same design is being bullt for the service. The New York is stationed at the center of the line covered by the pllot boats, off Gedney channel. It places pllots on incoming and takes pilots oft of out- going vessels. The salling vessels crulse on five stations and take such positions that vessels cannot approach the port with- out being seen by them. When the pilot (s on duty down the bay, walting for a vessel to be taken across the bar, he may look like an ordinary sallor, with storm hat, ollskin coat and rubber boots, but when he Is taken alongside the incoming vessel he wears his ‘“‘store clothes,” because once on hoard the in- coming vessel he becomes the captaln's guest, dines at his table and is an object of general interest. “The pilot is a great promoter of gam bling,"” sald a veteran in the business, “and people who never bet on other things think it all right to gamble on polnts per- taining to the pilot. In former times, when the boats were numbered away up to thirty, pools used to be made on the number, on odd or even, and on the position of the pilot boat when it came in sight..

The funeral of John G. Cortelyou occurred at 9 yesterday morning from the First Methodist church. The services were ¢ ducted by Rev. A. C. Hirst, assisted by Rev. J. W. Jennings and Bishop C. C. McCabe, with music by the full choir. The deceased having been so long and prominently con- nected with the church, the auditorium was nearly filled with friends, conspicuous among whom were a large number of young people. The middle section of the gallery was occupied by the members of the Sun- day echool, of which Mr. Cortelyou was the euperintendent for many years. The floral tributes were numerous and beautitul and were banked about the altar rail, before which the casket stood. Dr. Hirst entercd from the north tower, rea ing “I am the Resurrection and the Life and was followed by the mourners. All of the members of the family were present excepting Miss Katherine, Van Zandt and | Willls Cortelyou, who are abroad. The service lasted nearly an hour and at its conclusion resolutions of sympathy by the official board and a letter from Rev. Frank Crane of Chicago were read, after which the remains were viewed by nearly all present. The pallbearers were: Messrs. J. O. Phillippi, E. A. Benson, J. Q. Burgner, A. J. Lowry, J. H.

Edward Frederick Trefz, pastor of Kountse Memorial church, declares that the reported proposition for the sale of the church buflding and grounds, Sixteenth and Harney streets, is without foundation in fact. “It s true,” said Rev. Trefz, “that for several years from time to time negotia- tions have been under way for the con- version of the Kountze Memorial loca- tion into a commercial place. Nothing definite has ever resulted from these over- tures and at this time no offer for the salo of the ground is pending. Therefore any publication indicating transfer of the property in the near future s without proper authority. Of course, in view of the commerclal movement southward on Six- teenth street, it s but natural that the church grounds may some time be sold.

The baby died soon afterward and | J. H. Parry was appointed guardian of the other child by Judge Vineonhaler. RATCLIFFE FEDERAL COURT Defendant in Contempt Case Makes His Appearance. In the United States cireuit court yester- day the habeas corpus case of Thomas Ratcliffe was called before Judge Munger. Ratcliffe was a witness and defendant in a clvil suit brought in the federal court and an attempt was made to take his deposition before a notary public. He refused to tes- tify and the notary public sentenced him to jall for contempt. He sccured a writ of habeas corpus and was released on bond pending the hearing. At the trial evidence was taken and oral arguments heard. The parties were given time to fle briets and authorl- tles In support of their positions. The rea son asslgned by the plaintiffs in the civil suit for attempting to take the depogition was that Ratcliffe was about to remove more than 100 miles beyond the jurisdic- tion of the court.
