THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY NEW BOOKS AND MACAZINES Violet Jacots Bhows Real Geuius of a Story Teller in a New Noval, FINE THEATER EDITION OF “‘THE CRISIS" J. Wilkinson Elllott Makes a Plea for of Travel, “The Sheep Stealers,” by Violet Jacobs, 18 a story in which there are evidences of the real genlus of a story-teller, a master hand in the ar{—somewhat more than fs | expected of a novice or one so entirely un- | known In the fleld of litorature as Violet | Jacobs. The story opens with a Geserip- | tlon of the rural border lands of England and Wales and a brief history of the homely superstitjons of the people whose scant ideas were scarcely bevond thelr weekly round of work and their petty| strifes and quarrels. The farmers who grazed their herds on the mountain lands suffered from an organized system of marauding, and in those days of slow com- munication and inefcient police service they were unable to protect thelr interests. James Bumpett seemed to be chief in “crooked business” in his particular sec- tlon, and drew for assistance on those ‘whom necessity and misfortune had thrown in his way. Of this number were Rhys Walters and George Willlams. Rhys Wal- ters from early childhood was a poacher 10 outdoor rascality entercd his head that he 414 not attempt to exploit. After leav- ing school with a veneer of learning, which, however, did not affect his character, he makes his bow In the field of illegalities at the head of a devastating horde known as “Rebecea and her Children.” Their object ‘was the destruction of toll gates'in justi- fication of an unsatisfactory road govern- ment. The name of the band was taken from the Old Testament text in which Re becea, the bride of Ysaac, was blessed by Laban in these words, “Let thy seed pos- ®ers the gates of those that hate them.” Published by G. P. Putnam'’s Sons, “The King of Unadilla” is a little book Just published by the J. 8. Ogilvie Publish- ing company of Naw York and it certainly contains a great collegtion of wit and humor In giving the experlences of the Xing with his subjects and attendants. It 18 written by Howard R. Garls, author of “With Force and Arms,” and we believe will have a large circulation among those who delight in humorous work. * The success of the drama based on Win- ston Churchill's popular novel, ‘“The Crists,” has caused the Macmillans to lesue a James K. Hackett edition of the book. It 1s presented in a new decorative cover, 1s grinted on larger paper than was the original edition, has bordered pages, and contalns numerous illustrations in the form of full page reproductions of principal scenes from the play as given by Mr. Hac- kett and his company. Portraits of the leading actors and actresses are also In- cluded and the frontisplece consists of the latest photographic likeness of Mr. Hackett. 1t is not only a pleasing edition of the de- rervedly popular novel, but also an attrac- tive souvenir of the play and of the star and company engaged in its presentation. ‘A Plea for Hardy Plants,”” by J. Wilkin- son Elliott, who is a landscape architect of great expérience and has been fighting the battle of permanence and varlety. He argues ifor our native asters, llies, holly- hocks and the hundreds of other beautiful plants that make Europeans exclaim in as- tonishment at the richness of our flora; and he adds to this ample provision the best hardy plants trom all over the world. This simple plea based on observation, skill and experience Is enfarced to the reader by many photographic {llustrations showing what' can be done with hard plants under proper treatment. Published By Doubleday, Page & The Scribners have published a new book by A. H. Savage Landor entitled “‘Across Coveted Lands, or a Journey from Flushing to Caleutta Overland.” It is in two large volumes, fully illustrated, enclosed in & cover designed by the author. The coveted are Persia, Belochistan and Atghan- Persia In particular, and this work the utmost importance just mow In of the rapid development, reported ntly by cable in the daily press, of s long planned designs to reach the Indian ocean, and the efforts of England to counter them. These plans, as is now well kndwn, con- template the control of Persia and an outlet through the Persian gulf, and Mr. Landor's book, the result of an extraordinary tour across Russia to and through Persia, Belo- chistan and Afghanistan, has special refor- ence to the unfolding, now in rapid accom- plishment, of probably the greatest diplo- matic drama of the age, one for which Rus- sia bas been preparing for many years, upon which 1ts destiny in some proportion hangs, and In which the future of the Brit- 1sh empire is much concerned. ““The New Christians,” by Percy White, 1s & novel n which Eustace Fenner, with his pathetic eyes, his beautifully curved mouth and his eloquent tongye, attracts admirers. Among them is Mrs. Galbraith, a rich widow. Eustace loves beautiful material things and he loves ease and all that makes life luxurious. It is this material love that gets him financially under obligation to & Mr. Cranly, the possessor of the “Healing Stones of St. Peter.” BEustace's craftiness in playing double with Cranly and with his followers Is cleverly haudled The bhard-headed dissenter, Mr. Selby trips up the pretender now and then, is an excollent plece of characterization. Eus- tace's double love making adds interest to the ‘plot. Published by the Federal Book compan: who “Hope Loring,” by Lillan Bell, is not a novel of the highest order.

In defending Mr. Quay's amendments said from statements that'had reached him the action in introducing the statehood bill as an amendment to the agricultural and civil’sandry bills was re- garded as._an unlhesrd of proposition. It was Dot unheard.of ak.all. It was simply a question whether a majority of the sen- ate could do a thing it wanted. He re- ferred to previeus legislation and said an appropriation bill had contained a pro- vision establishing a clvil government in the, Philippines and the army bill today provided for legislation creating a general staff, ' Mr. Clay (Ga) took’ the same position and read from the record showing that the Philiopine legislation, known as the Spooner amendment, was voted on the army appropriation bill.

The other victims of the wreck who are in the hospital are reported to be doing as well as could be expected, but it Is {eared several may not recover. Chiet of Police Kieley of Plainfield ad- mits that he obtained an important state- ment from Davis, the engineer, and afso from Fireman McCarthy. Davis was told he could not live and was advised to do all he could to explain the circumstances of the accident and throw any light he could upon the cause. Places Blame on Others. It is understood that he defended himself and placed the blame primarily on others conneoted with the New Jersey Central road, but not a hint as to the nature of the statements could be learned from the chief, directly. Chief Kieley says both statements, which are regularly sworn to, will be made public at the proper time by the proper offelals. General Manager Bessler denled today that a train order sent to Cranford for tho express was recelved too late to be deliv- ered to the express train.

It {s strange what the en- gineer of the express was dolng along there. Judge Vail called the attention of the Union county grand jury today to the ac- cldent.

Her first idea, upon finding the hard substance, was to throw it away, but after oxamination she saw it was & pearl. “It may be worth sometbing she re- marked at the time, “and on the other hand it may be of no value, but VIl keep it.” What was her surprise when a lapidarist told her that it was worth, no doubt, sev- eral hundred dollars. He offered her a large sum of money for the pearl, but she would not part with it. The making of such a find is about the most singular thing that could happen to a persohn It sometimes occurs that out of the thousands and thousands of oysters that are shipped to the westorn states an occa- slonal pearl is among them. But. so far, the adornments brought to life-are a sort of mother-of-pearl and of }ittle value. The Jewelers pronounce the one found by Miss Carter the most extraordipary they have ever examined. ‘The pearl is spherical in form and the size of a large pea. “It s evident that it re- malned loose in (he substance of the muscles and other soft tissues of the oyster,” sald an expert yesterday, ‘This is the most perfect one I have ever seen. Frequently the pearl becomes cemented to the Interior of the shell, the point of ate tachment thus interfering with its sym- metry.” Mies Carter is very proud of her acquisi- tion, as it is evidently a pearl of the first water. It Is of a dellcate texture, free from speck or flaw, and of a clear, almost trans. lucent, white color, with a subdued irides- cent sheen. The experlence of pearl fishers shows that those shells which are irregular 4n ehape and stunted in growth or are honeycombed by boring parasites are thoss most likely to yleld pearis. The perfections and regularity of the shell fn which the pearl was found by Miss Carter has added to the wonderfulness of the discovery. —_— LABOR AND INDUSTRY.
