These incidents are in sbort accounts, each one occupying a chapter, of | which there are eleven in all. A sample of the prince’s experiences is the one recorded 1 the chapter entitled “The King A-Begging.”" The king wrote a poem of thirteen stanzas entitled: “A Beggar Man,” and pot receiving the praise he sired, donned some beggar's clothes and secretly tries the life of a beggar for a week to test the truth of his statements.

Published by Ginn & Co. “The King in Yellow" is a revised edi- ,tlon of short stories by R. W. Chambers, Jpublished by Harper Bros. A new edition {of this remarkable volume of stories has ;been necessitated by the continued demand and it is now published for the first time in & form worthy of its literary distinc- tion. The book Is unique amongst mod- ern American short stories and the orig- fnality of the tales, their weird and sug- gestive atmosphere and the vein of psy- chological mystery that runs through them all can only be compared to the work jof Poe and de Maupassant. Some of the tales deal with artist life in Paris and New York. “The Mask" is one of these. An artist discovers a chemical solution which changes living things to sculptured _marble. The beautiful woman he loves plunges Into the chemical pool because of ber love for another and thus becomes & perfect statue. In the end she is restored o life and to her real love. The story is told with a wonderful power of romance. Every tale in the book is completely ab- sorbing. The other titles are: '“The Re. pairer of Reputations,” “The Yellow Sign,” “The Demoiselle D'Ys,” “The Prophets’ Paradise,” “The Street of the Four Winds,” “The Street of the First Shell,” *The Btreet of Our Lady of the Flelds" and “Rue Barree." ‘We are In rocelpt of two books from the American Book company, prepared for teaching French. One is ““Advanced French Prose Composition,” by Victor E. Francols, instructor In French in the University of Michigan. This book is designed for the second year in college or the third and fourth years In high schools. Grammar reviews are combined with translation work based on selections in French and suggestive questions refer to these selec- tions. Numerous references are made to the new grammatical rules promulgated by the minister of public imstruction of France in his decree of February 26, 1901, the more important of these rules being ‘given In full. The other is on Oncle et on Cure,” by Jean de la Brete, edited r school use by Ellzabeth M. White, Wor- ster, M This story, crowned by the ich academy for its beneficial tenden- jes, is one of the few that illustrate the brightness and vivacity of the French novel without any moral defects to render it unsultable for school purpos The subject matter is most interesting, the style clear, though perfectly idlomatic, and the Modern Language association has recommended it for class reading. Foot notes explain obscure points and refer the student to those words in the complete vocabulary under which may be found the renderings of idlomatic phrases. To ald in impressing the words and conmstructions used more firmly on the mind of the stu- dent there is added & series of graded composition exercises based on the text of each chapter for translation from English Anto French. “Judith's Garden™ is the name of an in- teresting ncvel by Mary E.

Pub- lished by Lothrop Publishing Ellen Olney Kirk's new book, “A Remedy for Love” is a sweet, old-fashioned love etory with abundance of sentiment and suspense, doubt, misgiving and delay. It ie, besides, a story full of surprises. There are three pairs of lovers instead of one involves not omly two pretty debutantes, but their father, a very in- teresting widower who finds himsel? able to fall in love again after twenty years of sclence and solitude. He Is awakened from his “Rip Van Winkle sleep of twenty years” by a letier from a cousin scoring him for neglecting his daughters and not “bringing them out.”" Although he is in the midst of preparing a book of a scientific character for publication, he decides his alfughters shall be “brought out.”" His enlisting the services of numerous re! tives brings about complications both amusing and ipteresting. His falling in love with his stenographer, whose assist- ance he has secured to hasten the pub- lication of his book, 1s surprising, consid- ering his secluded life of twenty years' duration. The story is told with vivacity and much charm of delicacy asd reticence Like all of Mrs. Kirk's novels, it is par- tlcularly attzactive to girls. Houghton, Mifiin & Co., publiehers, It there fs anything fn the title of a book Aaron Dwight Baldwin in selecting “The Gospel of Judas Iscariot” as the title of his new book has chosen one which should attract attention. The author Is a literary and newspaper man well known in the west. The book purports to be written by Judas iscariot. It deals largely with the origin of the Christian faith and presents warm, realistic and beautiful pie- tures of the Jewish world ia the time of Our Lord. Its prime object is to show, following the gospel accounts, that Judas was not, could not have been a bad or un- worthy man and that the so-called aet of “betrayal” did not involve moral turpitude on his part. The line of defense adopted 15 entirely unique, not being patterned after that set up in the middle ages and followed in the last century by Thomas DeQuincy, W. W. Story and others. It is a historical novel 50 much out of the ordinary it is sure to attract attention. Published by Jamieson-Higgins Co. The June pumber of The Omahan con- tains many attractive and interesting fea- tures. The frontisplece is a finely ex- ecuted engraving of “The Needles" at Syl- van Lake, 8. D, and farther on there is a double-page view of the lake and sur- rounding scenery. The number opens with & poem, “My Human Flower,” by Eliza- beth D. Preston, while a shorter poem, “Loyalty,” is from the pen of Conna May Morris. Among the descriptive articles might be mentioned ifornia, the Land of thp Setting Sun;” then there is “The Economic Side of the Anti-Drink Ques- tion,” “Mines and Mining” and many other special features. As usual with The Omaban, it is Deat and attractive in ap- pearance. Beginning with the July number The Forum will be published quarterly instead of monthly, heretofore. The general character of the magazine will be the same, but its purposes will be more spe- cifically those of & review and outlook. It is believed that by publishing quarterly & review of the world's events in every field, as well as to some extent an out- look based on the conditions presented, the essential features can be fully covered. In order that the material may present the proper perspective the magazive will be conducted in departments, each of which will be in charge of one who is eminently qualified by his training and connections to take charge of it. In addition to the gen- eral reviews, each lssue will contain a number of special articles on subjects of paramount interest.

SENDS PRICE OF HOGS STEADILY UP Inerease While Price Mounts Day After Day with Regularity. Loeal Receipts Greatly Over Those of Last Year, Hogs sold in South Omaha yesterday at the average price of $7.6415 per 100 pounds This is $2.63% per 100 pounds higher than the average price on July 1, 1900, and $1.58% higher than the average price on July 1, 1801. In the meantime the receipts of hogs at the South Omaha yards are more than 111,000 greater for the first six months of 1902 than for the first six months of 1501. On the increase in receipts alone the Increase in price amounts to mearly $400,000, while on the total receipts for the six months it amounts to almost $4,- 000,000 In a measure thie extra price for hogs is accounted for by the added cost of feed but not all. Stockmen say a very tidy figure of profit s going to the farmers' pockets. In the old days of cheap corn it was a common saying that $4 hogs meant 50-cent corn. If tbat were true hogs at $7.60 means corn at about 90 cents, 8o ths farmers' profit even with corn selling at 60 cents is fair. What the real cause for the steady rise in the price of hogs and the continued demand for all that come to market is not apparent on the surface. Well informed men who do business at the stockyards say it is the result of a war that has broken out between the Swifis and the Armours for control of the provi- sion traffic Fight Between Glants. Whatever the cause, a lot of expensive pork is being packed just at present. Mess pork is the only feature that shows high in the market quotations just now, ribs and lard being down around normal ‘Somebody is getting his neck wrung." said one man who is in close touch all the time with the livestock market, “‘but whether It is Armour or Swift is mighty hard to say. One thing is sure, they are putting up & mighty lively fight” What the outcome will be is not even hinted at by the watchers, but it seems hardly pos- sible that the price of hogs can be main- tained at the present figures after the new teed crop comes in. In comnection with the struggle for su- premacy between the giant packing firms is the story told by the Chicago Tribune of Tuesday anent the purchase of control of the Omaha company by the Armours: Another important change in the packing fleld was made public yesterday when it was_announced formally that Armour & Co. had secured the Omaha Packing com- pany after a sharp tilt with the Swifts who were bidding for the same interests. It was further informally announced that Armour had practically secured the Inter- national Packing ¢company's Chicago plants at the Union stockyards. Both steps were the result of the rivalry between the Swift and Armour interests. The Omaha Packing company has been on the market since early in May, when Ira M, Cobe of Cobe & McKinnon, and for- mer president of the Chicago Title and Trust company, undertook its reorganiza- tion. He bid at that time §2,000,000 for its preferred_stock and 31,000,000 for its com- mon stock, and the deal with Armour company Is supposed to have been for slightly larger totals. Fne aale of the company to the Swifts in- stead of to Armour was taken as a foregone conclusion for some time, as the Omah: company was formerly controlied by t Fowlers, who sold out their holdings in the Anglo-American to Bwift. According to a member of the Omaha company both of the large firms made bids for [ts purchase. The Swift company had hased the Anglo-American, which | of the Fowler forelgn trade, and po! ave it that the Armour Int s lost no time in closing the deal. Th Omaha company, which has plants in sev- eral of the large centers, includes here the packing house of Viles & Robbins, and it was through this firm that the sale is sup- po e been effected. It will not go out of existence, but will become a part of the Armour chalin, just as Libby, McNeill & Libby and the AngloAmerican plants have become parts of Swift. The new purchase, so far as local busi- ness is concerned, gives to Armour a new dressed beef business of large proportions, and a hog house with a capacity of 3, hogs & day. Confirms Report of Sale, It was acknowledged in the office of Viles & Robbins yesterday that the sale had taken piaco and that Armour was the pur- chasing party. “It was made as an investment by Mr. Armour,” sald a member of the staff of the Viles & Robbins company. “The Omaha Packing company will not go out of ex- istence, but Armour will have a big share of its stock. There was but little trouble in getting him to take it. It was an in- vestment, and the firm is on & spiendid ”Y‘ln, basis. I do not know the exact sum pald for the interests sold and would not tell 1f I knew.” With the news of the sale of the Omaha company came rumors of the purchase of the Continental and Lipton companies, the only two smaller concerns that are now doing business in competition with Armour, 8witt, Cudahy. Schwaraschild & Salzberger and ihe Hammond companies. At the offices of the Continental company it was sald that nothing was known of such a deal, but that T. E. Wells, who controls the ‘company, s on his way home from N. G. Conybear, the local repre. ive of Bir Thomas Lipton, denied that consoli lon was contemplated, or that approaches had been made on the T eub, “We do not believe that Armour is after the Hammond company,” ‘was sald by a packer yesterday, ‘for the reason that it would be of no value to him. If such a deal goes through it shows that Swift and 'mour have at last locked horns in & bAlll.r struggle.

ARRANGE FOR CANAL MEASURE Cabinet is Engaged Effort Carry Out the Terms of the Propost in to WASHINGTON, July 1.—The cabinet was engaged today at the suggestion of Secre- tary Hay In the preparation of measures to carry out the terms of the isthmian ca- nal law. The government muet determine the sufficlency of the title that can be con- veyed to the United States by the Panama Canal company, a treaty must be negotiated with Colombia conferring the necessary rights and a technical committee must be appointed to carry on the actual work of coustruction. It was decided to refer the matter of title to the attorney gemeral, it being purely a legal question, and recourse may be had by the latter to the French courts to secure from some high -tribunal a satisfactory afirmation of the sufficlency of title, as the Interests involved are too great to base the title upon the mere opinion of an in- dividual lawyer, either French or American. The attorney general may attempt, how- ever, to secure from the French govern- ment, directly through the Chamber of Deputles in all probability, some executive declaration which shall have the force of law and effectually afirm the legality of the acquisition of the canal property by the United States. It will be necessary for the attorney general to send to France some thoroughly competent person who can, if need be, retain local French talent to aid in his work. The name of Assistant At- torney General Russell has been euggested as well qualified for such a post and some or all of the members of the isthmian canal committee may go to Paris. There is some reason to belleve that while no formal as- surances have passed, the French govern- ment has managed to let it be known to the president that it is willing to do every- thing that is necessary to qulet this ques- tion of title.

MAJORITY OF OFFICIALS FAVOR A GRANT Company Asks City for Tem Years' of Its from October 17, 1004, Continuance Dating Contract, Around the city hall yesterday there was considerable talk about the offer of the Omaha Water company for an extension of its tranchise from October 17, 1904, for ten years. It appears that a majority of the officials are in favor of accepting the terms of the company in order to secure the priv- fleges tendered. The constant demand for an extension of water mains on account of the bullding in all parts of the city has caused the council considerable worry, be- cause no money has been avalable for some time te pay the claims of the company for hydrant rental. city has not pald the water company any money since July 1, 1901. It now owes the company the sum of $12,150. When this s paid it will nearly deplete this year's water levy, although there still remains $300 in the water fund. In order to supply the wants of the clty and at the same time protect its own in- terests the company proposes that i’ its contract is renewed for ten years trom Oc- tober, 1904, to furnish the city, during the unexpired term of its present contract, its water for ten public watering troughs, to be located at such points as shall be des- ignated by the council. These troughs to be kept in operation from May 1 until No- vember 1 of each year. Further, the company will provide during the period of ten years, as well as during the unmexpired portion of the present con- tract, water free of cost for use in the various offices in the public bulldings now used by the city. This will include the city hall, the jall, police court, public library, fire engine houses and the public echools. Water also will be provided for the flush- ing of sewers for sanitary purposes, pro- vided the work i superintended by the proper city authoritie The rate to be charged to privats eon- eumers is to be the same as that charged in Omaha, which is the same as the present contract. One new feature of the proposed contract 1s that the water company shall be required to furnish and set meters at its own ex- pense on all new domestic services. Meters are to be generally used and these are to be eet as soon as practical after the passage and acceptance of the ordinance. In addition, the company agrees to lo- cate forty-eight additional hydrants, to be locates where the council may direct. These hydrants will not be charged for until the expiration of the present contract, then all the 250 hydrants will be charged for at the rate of $50 & year, except the intermediate hydrants, which rent at the rate of $10 a year. The company, however, desires some lee- way in the matter of laying malns and set- ting the forty-eight hydrants, as the offi- cers of the company state that materlal s scarce. The company is Dot to be held r sponsible in case it cannot promptly obtain the material for laying the mains and the eetting of hydrants. With the exception of the intermediates, all hydrants are to be located mot more than 400 feet apart. Payment for hydrant rental, under the proposed contract, must be made on Janu- ary 1 and July 1 of each year. s the terms suggested appear to be much more favorable than those in the present contract it is presumed that the council will pass the ordinance. Printed Charter Delayed. Some time ago It was announced that the coples of the charter and the revised city ordinance ordered a couple of months ago | would come from the printers on July 1 and be ready for distribution. Owing to de- lays of various kinds the printers stated yesterday that it would be fully another month before the books would be ready. In | this connection & city official said yester- day that unless the books were completed scon the charter would be practically use- less. It is the intention of the city ofi- cials to request the next legislature to make & number of amendments {n the char- ter in order to provide funds for the growth of the city. When the charter is revieed it will then be necessary to bave printed coples of the changes made and this means additional expense. Johu Rehes Hurt Yesterday afternoon John Rebea, 10 years of age, who lives with his parents at Twenty-third and R streets, was injured by a refrigerator car at the Q street crossing The boy was taken to the South Omaba hos- pital, where he was examined by Dr. C.

Dr. Schindel 1d last evening that the boy would lose all but the large toe on the right foot. He will be In the hospital for some little time. Walks.
