HISTORICAL ROMANCE BY WILL CRAWFORD “The Hound of the Baskervill Another Sherlock Holm ture. Adven- ‘A Game of Love,” Seribe ner's Li t Publieation. The Century company has published a pew book by Will Crawford entitled ““Ho- henzollern.” It is a historical romance of the time of Frederick Barbarossa, emperor ©f Germany in the middle of the twelfth century. The. emperor, baving fallen in love with his ward, Countess Matilda, ob- tains a divorce from his wife in order to marry the countess, but she refuses, being herself In love with young Hehenzollern. Hohenzollern had saved the emperor's life, but the emperor now drives him from the court and finally places him under the ban of the empire. At this stage the count makes the emperor his prisoner, but find- ing that the latter s likely to fall in turn into the hands of a rival clalmant for the empire, sets him free and goes deliberately forward to meet the emperor's rival and frustrate his designs. The real action of the story occuples less than two days, and | the faithfulness of supposed foes and the treachery of retainers give ample material for an ingenious and exciting plot. The story is rapld in movement and kaleido- scoplc In its frequent, but plausible, changes of situation. The scene i laid In the Black Forest and the local color is ex- cellent. “Many Waters," by Robert Shackelton, Is & atory of New York and is the author's first novel. He writes of the New York of today, and glimpses of the teeming life of gorgeous caravansaries, of Wall street in- trigue, of the ceaseless activity of the press, of a street rallway strike and other widely divergent phases of metropolitan lite form a part of his brilliant story. The characters that move through these vari- ous scenes compel Interest and will leave a permapent impression. Mr. Shackelton has not fallen into the error of attempting to cover the metropolis in a book, but he bac selected features which will attract evoryone. His graphic scenes indicate a new writer whose gift of perception and power of expression are qualities that will make thelr mark. He was educated as a lawyer, but abandoned his profession for newspaper and general literary work in the metropolis. His five years' experience on one of the dailles in New York brought him into dally contact with the lights and shadows of that city and gave him the foundation for this interesting novel. Pub- lished by D. Appleton & Co. “The Hound of the Baskervilles is an- other adventure of Sheriock Holmes by A. Conon Doyle. Dr. Watson, who chronicles the adventures of his friend, the famous Sherlock Holmes, tells us in the course of “The Hound of the Baskervilles” that “Holmes himself had said that no more complex case had come to him in all the long serfes of his sensational investiga- tions.” This thrilling tale is based upon an old Devonshire superstition. Since the time of Sir Hugo Baskerville, centuries ago, the family was said to have been haunted by a horrible, fire-breathing hound, which @rove it victims over the lonely moor into the quicksands. Sir Charles was found dead on his grounds, the only clue to his death being the footprints of a monstrous hound near his body. When his next of Wi, Sif 'Henry, 100K possession of the es- tate a serfes of uncanny happenings lea him to belleve that he, too, was destined to become a victim of the hound of the Baskervilles. He was saved by Sherlock Holmes, but even that prince of detectives was deeply Involved in the maze before he finally solved the welrd mystery.

It is “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall.” The plot 1s centered round Haddon hall, tamous In history as one of the places which sheltered Mary Queen of Scots dur- ing her captivity. The story itself is of the romantic attachment and elopement of Dorothy Vernon and young John Manners, in spite of the opposition of parents and guardians. The time Is around 1560. Among many effective scenes in Mr. Major's story Is that of Mary Stuart's capture at the duke of Rutland's castle, when Dorothy Vernon, riding with a warning to her lover, and the bitter news that it 1s she who has betrayed him and the young queen of Scots, arrives all but exhausted to meet them under the gloomy half-light of the torches at the castle gate, already under arrest.

In the state chamber still stands the ‘canopied bed of green velvet and white satin, in which tradition says Queen Ellzabeth slept when she visited Haddon to open the first ball in the new ball room of that day—the very ball room from which Dorothy stole away, not to hear the eari of Lelcester press his sult, as her father dreamed, but to join her life to that of the politicaily-disgraced young heir of Rutland, her father's enemy. “The Story of the Vine” Is a new book | Several years ago the author made an extended tour abroad with a view of visiting and study- ing the wire-producing centers of Europe, Intending to use the information for the betterment of conditions as they existed In America. The book contains this in- formation. In his preface the author says: “It is hardly necessary to say I am a sin- cere advocate of the use of pure wines. I honestly belleve that thelr use would do more toward the solving of the temper- ance question than all other efforts com- bined. * * * * If what I have written serves in any degree to open the eyes of my fellow citizens I will feel that I am amply repald.” Published by G.

Thursday Morning's Session. The Thursday morning program opened with a “Devotional Hour,” at which Mrs. J. H. Trowbridge of Illinois presided. At 10 o'clock the convention met In regu- lar session and was led In prayer by Mrs. George Tilden of Omaha. The firet order of business was the synodical reports from state secretaries, a part of which was given Wednesday. Montana's report was read by Miss Elizabeth Ross of Chicago. Ne- braska's report, presented by Mrs. F. B. Coulter, showed a healthy state of affairs In the Antelope commonwealth and es- pecial mention was made of the Box Butte presbytery, which was commended for its vigo North Dakota’s report, which had been prepared by Mrs. A. E. Waddell, was read by Mrs. Charles Robinson. The secretary deprecated the fact that the women of her te arv very largely transient. ‘“They are here today and there tomorrow,” she wrote. “Ia my particular Presbyterial so- clety there is a marked numerical weak- ness, as most of the women have moved my own health has failed, and so d of shining during this last year, it has just been amoking."” Mrs. G. M. Erwin, who told of the work in South Dakota, mentioned the same state of affairs—the instability of the population, and it was to this fact that she attributed the deficit 1n gifts. Touches on Mormonism. The report trom Utah, prepared’ by Mre. M. M. T. Allen and read by Mrs. R. 8. Mc- Niece, was interesting, as it touched rather trankly upon Mormonism. “There is an undercurrent of pathos in the reports from some parts of our tat sald the report, “since they tell of women who dare not openly ecroll themselves for Christianity because they are members of Mormon house- holds. Mormonism gained strength with statehocd. The doctrine of poligamy is taught with renewed vigor in Utah and Idaho; it is not dead—it is simply being held in abeyance until its advocates get fliclent strength to declare it openly. 1 belleve that a crisis is approaching in Chbristian work in Utah. I belleve that the Mormons are waiting for an opportunity to try their strength anew with Christians. There are indications of it everywhere. Mormon children are being withdrawn from Gentlle schools; Mormon priests are becom- ing insolent in their consclousness of re- newed power, and there is no anti-Mormon paper of any Influence in the state to com- bat the evil."” The Wisconsin report was read by Miss Agnes Rumsey. Mrs. Abble Stebbins, who has been & missionary to India, gave an interesting talk on the life of the common people in the Ganges country. “A Hindoo's idea of ein is to come in coutact with something unclean,” said she. “We have to teach them first the ten commandments in order that they may know God's Idea of sin Hindoolsm is sick unto death in India and their priests, reallzing this, are busily advocating reforms. Miss Mary Jewett, who for thirty years has been a missionary at Tabriz, Persia, told a melancholy story of this benighted country, with special reference to its loose morals and the degredation of its wom Mrs. D. B. Wells gave a sprightly and somewhat bumorous talk on *“Hinderments.” It seems the word inderments” was & favorite with an old negress house serv- snt of the Wells family, “Aunt Nancy was quoted as saylng, “Hinderments get behind and pull and battlements get in front and push.”” Mrs. son from this homely philosophy. The foremoon seselon closéd with election of officers for the eneufng year. Symodical Secretaries Report. the The reports of the synodical secretaries were made yesterday. Five states of of the' northwest were represented in these reports, as follows: Iliinois, Mrs J. 8. Johnson; Indiama, Mfs. C. P. Luce; lTowa, Mrs. J. C. McClintock; Michigan, Mrs. E. E. Hammond; Minnesota, Mre. E. 8. Williams. Mrs. McClintock spoke encouragingly ot the work in lowa. “The work of the Synod- lcal soclety for the past year is one of faithful continuance i well doing.”’ said she. “Since our last annual meeting there has been an undercurrent of deeper interest in mission work, judging from the many letters of inquiry that have been sent to the officers. Several of the Presbyterial eocieties have adopted watchwords or mot- tos for the year and these have been like spurs to oblige them to go forward, trust- ing the dear Master for help and strength. One is very suggestive, ‘Instant obedience to the call of duty and Lord work.' “Eight of our ten Presbyterial societies report an advance in gifts, The extra work of glving $545 toward the completion of a bullding in Tagoo, Corea, is being cared for, but how nearly the amount given will reach our aim will not be known until October next. “The other special object was the pur- chase of an ice machine for Hawail. More than enough has been contributed fog this purpose, proving that our auxiliaries enjoy giving to special objects,” Story from Minnesotna. The story told by Minnesota was of growth and progress. “Her figures look about as they did last year,” read Mrs. E. 8. Williams, “but if you could see her beart I am sure you would say she has im- proved, for how could she have associated with such missionaries as Mr. and Mre. Graham Lee of Corea and Mrs. Wachter of Slam without being stimulated to greater desire to carry the gospel to every crea- ture?” Mrs. E. E. Hammond reported for Michl- gan in part as follows: “The annals of the Syncdical society of Michigan for the years 1901-2 will be recorded as years of change, of anxiety, of experiment, and yet, thank God, of bleseing and encouragement. The death of Mrs. Brownwell last June wa followed in October by the resignation of Mrs. Brusks, our president for twenty years, and as yet her successor has not been found. In its crippled condition our soclety has worked during the year and it is largely owing to the faith of the Pres byterial officers that, under God's bless ing, 80 much has been accomplished. Sag- tnaw, Flint and Lansing report increases in membership or gifts or both. Kalamazoo and Lake Superfor are thoroughly organ- ized and doiug fine wark and each reports two new socleties. Grand Rapids has dis tinguished herself by increasing her gifts and Detroit is doing & large share of the work faithtully." Mrs. Charles P. Luce of Indlana gave an encouraging report. She read: “'As the people of old came up to Jeru- salem for their annual feasts with joy in their hearts, so we come to. this, our nine- teenth annual meeting, with gladness. In- diana’s report is full of cheer and emcour- agement. It is impossible to simmer the enthusiasm of eight Presbyterials, 170 aux- fallary socleties and 9,000 women into a five-minute report. When we consider the great work being acomplished by the six- teen missionaries who are oursrepresenta- tives upon the forelgn field we cannot fail to be inspired by thetf“sacrifice and devo- tion. As facts are neceseary to secure funds, we are not surprised o learn that more magazines are taken tHan ever before and hence our treasurers are able to report in- creased gifts. The amounts contributed during the last year aggregate over $12,- 000. At our synodical meeting held in In- dianapolis last October Mrs. Wells inspired us all with a renewed sense of our per- sonal responsibility as individuals in the great work of christianizing the world, and as a state we are wakened as never before to the importance of personal consecra- tion and effort. The dominant strain of our annual report, which will sound throughout the coming year, will be, ‘Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to all mankind.' " The forencon program concluded with a short address by Mrs. L. C. Van Hook, who has been a missionary to Persia. Be- fore the adjournment a message from G. W. Lininger, Inviting the delegates and missionaries to visit his art gallery while in the city, was read. During the noon hour nearly 100 avalled themselves of the invitation. New A vals in Afternoon. Many new delegates and visitors arrived during yesterday forencon and when the house was called to order at 2 o'clock the attendance was larger than at either of the previous sessions. The following delegates occupled te upon the platform: Mrs. €. 8. Willlams, Minnesota; Mrs. Earl C. Greenman, Illinols; Mrs. N. W. Campbell, Tllinols; Mr: beth Stew- art, Illinols. missionaries were seated upon the platform: Mrs. J. W. McKean, Laos; Miss Mary Jewett, Persia; Mrs. L. C. Van Hook, Persla. Telegrams of sympathy were sent to the president of the board, Mrs. Heary H Forsyth of Chicago and Mrs. George W. Clabaugh, synodical president for Nebraska, both of whom were unable, to attend the convention on account of iliness. The first order of the afterncon program was “Young People’s Hour,"” presided over by Mrs. Earl C. Greenman. One of the most Interesting features of this was a paper on “‘Boy: prepared by Miss Emma E. Koehler of Chicago and read by Mrs. G. L. Robinson.' It gave several good recipes for interesting boys in mission work. Dr. Louise H. Keator of Tilinois, mission- ry candidate for Indiana, read a paper on bhetto Work,"” based upon her experience in Chicago eweatshops. A trio comprising Mrs. C. K.

Walking round an Indian village in the Punjab, the head man of the village, a high caste Hindoo, joined me and told me his sorrow over the loss of his wife. I told him of the comfort Jesus gives and be sald this comfort was what drew him to Christ's teachings. Sinc 1890 the conferences in India for the deep- ening of the spiritual life of missioparie and Indlan Christians have resulted In great good. They brought out the bible teaching about the fulness of the epirit and have purified the lives and empawered the service of very many. “The missions of different denominations are working In barmony with each other; the Presbyterian missions of Scotland, Eng- land, Ireland, Canada and the United States are forming ome Presbyterian church in India; our churches have more Indian p tors, and the whole wmission work of India has felt the blessing. Individual in of this biessing are very striking. The work of Mrs. Dr Frank Newton in Feroye- pore in the Punjab is one.

The prayer was heard and for six or seven years now the hospital, well equipped, bas been In opera- tlon.

Last night's ssssion drew an audience of such proportione that there was not a va- cant seat in either the auditorium proper or the adjoining lecture room, which w thrown open for the occasion. Two addresses, which the general chalr- man afterward designated as the finest she had ever heard on mission work, were de- livered by Prof. G. L. Robinson of the fac- ulty of McCormick Theological seminary, Chicago, and by Rev. Graham Lee, a grad- uate of that {nstitution, who has served long at Pyeng Yang, Corea. Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks of Omaha was the president of the evening and introduced the speakers. The music was as previously announced, with the addition of the wolo, “Save Me, Oh God,” sung by Miez Northrup. Letting Light into Rev. Lee spoke first and said in part: 1 have come to bring you a message from the land that was once called the hermit nation. 1t s no longer so. When I went there elght years ago and began mission work at Pyeng Yang there wasn't a Chris- tan other than ourselves in that vicinit ow we have 11,00 communicants and 1 ngregations. At the beginning we were confronted by suspicion that was positively hostile, and one night we were surrounded by great crowds of Coreans and com- manded to get out. We got! But I never yet saw a missionary who would give up, and we went back again. Then the gov- ernor of the province determined to oust us and made his attempt while our first little band of elght converts were with us at prayer. But we survived that, too, and then began our growth to the proportions of a church. At first we met In a cramped room, where they sat upon the floor &nd which was so crowded that as an actual fact I may tell you that a man who got up to stretch himselt couldn't find room to sit again. At first the women were crowded into an adjoining room, where 200 of them used to sit in_eager silence, anxious to hear told the old, old story of Christ as it was being related to the men. Woman's condition in Corea is most pitiable. For the girls there are no schools except dancing schools, and after they become wives they have no name and practically no recognition.

And are the Coreans appreciative? Well, upon the eve of our departure they brought us gifts without number and thelr fare- wells were tearful. They have come to prize the religion of Jesus Christ above things else and are saddened by the los of any who can tell them more of its greatness and glory. Rev. Lee also protested vigorously agalnst the proposed 40 per cent reduc- tion of the appropriation and sald that such action would have the effect of forcing the miselonaries to glve up all that they were using in the education of their own chil- dren or for other personal needs. Prof. Robinson gave a resume of the struggle of Christianity in heathen lands and pointed to the stars whose light has come forth to dispel the darkness of th places. Of these he named several heroes in the work, both old and modern, and then devoted most of the rest of his lecture to the splendid part that women have played in the conversion of the world. He em- phasized his thoughts under the three gen- eral suggestions, leadership, loyalty and thanksgiving, but did not overlook the op- portunity to point out the need of providing adequate instruction in the mission fleld and reporting the progress that is being made by the theological seminar: Today's program will be similar to that of yesterday, including six synodleal re. ports, some general reports, missionary ad- dresses concerning the work in Japan and Africa and finally a communion service this afternoon, conducted by Rev. T. V. Moore. Names Registered Yesterday. Below appear the names that were reg- istered yesterday.
