Ll OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY NEW BOOKS AND MACAZINES | "Shakspere and His Forerunners,” a Stady in Elisabetban Poetry. | REMARKABLE RECORD FOR THE SCRIBNERS | Few Ho ry Bookman Shows e Pabli Books that This Several Popular In December—Apple- ton's Attractive Poster, | “Shakspere and His Forerunners,” studies in Ellzabethan poetry and its development from early English by Sidney Lanler, is oue of the latest publications. The work fs published by Doubleday, Page & Co. In two large and handsome volumes, contain- | ing 800 pages, and profusely illustrated with portraits, facsimiles, title pages and all sorts of Interesting pictorial matter that help to give the reader the feeling and color of thoge anclent times. The author's aim here {s 1o present Shakspere as the crowning glory and culmination of the most marvelous literary efloresence the world has known. In order to do this ade- quately he gives first a most suggestive survey of the beginnings of English poetry and what it had become when the marvel- ous Elizabethan Age carried it to un- dreamed of heights, and then, after elab- orate treatment of the sonnet writers from Surrey to Shakspere, he takes up in detail the study of the man, William Shakspere, the soclal life which surrounded him, and niental and spiritual evolution as shown by the growth of his art. From the exist- fng evidence and the “relation of man to his fellow man” In the various plays Mr. Lanier constructs a probable eequence and grouping of the great master’s work which bears largely upon its face the story of the man's own life struggle and mighty con- quest of himeelf. Much of the best prose work Mr. Lanfer left is contained in these | two volumes. The remarkable record made this last season by Scribner books is still further attested by the market reports in the Feb- ruary Bookman, which show that, of the fitteen extremely successful boeks in the east in December, five had the Scribner fmprint, while six Scribner books appear in the list of seventeen which were most successful in the west. No other one pub- lisher had more than two books In this eastern list, nor more than three in the western list. The Scribner books appearing lists were ‘The Blue Flower,” F. he Fortunes of Oliver Thomas Nelson Page's “A Captured Santa Claus,”” James W. Barrie's “The Lit- tle White Bird” and Richard Harding Da- iy’ ‘aptain Macklin.” The additional book making the western list was James ‘Whitcomb Riley's “The Book of Joyous Children.” ““The Blue Flower,” by the way, stood second in the eastern list and third in the western list in both eastern and western Henry van Dyke's “The Papal Monarchy,” by Willlam Barry, D. D, belongs to the series called “The Story of Nations” and covers the perlod from St. Gregory the Great to Boniface VIIL Dr. Barry's survey of the papal monarchy to the death of Boniface VIIL., with which the middle ages may be sald to close, fills so serious a gap In English historical libraries that students might be very grateful to him even were the work much less able than it fs. But he has given us a marvel of accurate information and of comprehensiveness. No mere compila- tion is it, but a well-considered and ad~ mirably written book of permanent value. Its reade d critics, hawever, would do well to keep in mind the author's words in the preface: “Not the pope as a teacher, but the pope as & ruler of men, in affairs which may be viewed under a secular as well as a religlous aspect, will furnish the matter of my volume.” Of course, it is open to doubt whether the effort to keep to this restricted plan s not an attempt at the impossible. But the book as it stands ls a tour de force. He compresses the history of a vast period {nto about 430 pages, and d with it not in general terms, but in detall; yet the result is no arld waste of facts. He has enlivened tho waste by vivid portraiture and by dramatic arrangement. Published by G. P. Putnam's Son. Another notable addition has been made to the attractive series of posters issued by, D. Appleton and Company since the be- ginning of the year. This is being used In connection with “Millionaire Households and their Domestic Economy,” by Mary E. Carter. The poster is an elaboration of the cover design by Margaret Armstron and 1s printed in gold and copper bronse and green and peacock-blue inks, giving a rich effect. The design itself represents two golden peacocks facing each o‘her on the branches of & grape vine, while their beautiful plumage falls around the title “Millionaire Households.” Bunches of grapes and grape leaves complete the or- namentation. The book itself is unique. Miss Carter has managed the bouseholds of many large establishments, and her ob- servations will be of value mot only to those whose advancing fortunes have out- stripped their social opportunities, but also to those who with one or two servants desire to make a little go a long. w “The Winniog of Sarenne,” by St. Clair Beall, 18 a romance full of interest from cover to cover, Well written and clever, ihe story has much that many of the popu- lar romantic novels of late have lacked. The story tells how a young noble won back . his city which bad been usurped by a friend of his father's. It is full ot fighting (but the fights are possible), full ot secret passages of the kind that one sees in old casties, and full of adventures that one can imagine would come to & young hero of the middle ages. There is a lo: story, of cburse, and the girl is beautiful, Just as she should be, but she does not kill men or do fmpossible things before she is bafled the mistress of Sarennme. The old retainer and the faithful councllor are there, but in an Interesting guise, and the villain is none too black.- After the city has been won and the villaln put to flight one feels satisfied that it has all been worth whils ed.

HAROLD HAYES, BUFFALO.N.Y. E Horn | tlon ot ‘Lady Slipper, lished by the Federal book company of New York L. C. Page & Co. have published a book by Arthur Elson, author of “A Crit- feal History of Ope: The new work | of this author is entitled “Orchestral In. struments and Their Use,” which is illus- trated with several full-page plates and a large number of text fllustrations. Mr Elson gives a description of each instru- ment now employed by civilized nations, & brief account of {ts history, the technical and acoustical principles fllus trated by its performance and an explana. its value and functions in the modern orchestra. He brings to the work sufficlent enthusiasm to obviate any natural | tendency to make of such a book a dry compllation of facts and figures. Dodge Miss Josephine Daskam, author of ““Fables for the Fair,” is out with a new volume of eight short stories entitled “Whom the Gods Destro published by Scribner's. Miss Daskam is an admirable descriptive writer and .here is a large de- mand for Ner writings. The eight stories in ber latest book are: ‘‘Whom the Gods Destroyed,” “A Wind Flower,” *‘When Pippa Passed,” ““The Blacklisting of Har. riet Blake," “A Bayard of Broadway," “A Little Brother of the Books,” “The Mald of the Mill,"” “The Twilight Guests.”" These stories are dramatic studies of the artistic temperament, illustrating in every case #ome one of the almost inevitable tragedies that attend this temperament. The char- acters include a musician, a painter, a poet, a dabbler in the supernatural, a re- liglous enthusiast and a modern gentleman whose Quixotic chivalry sacrifices his own happiness The American Book company has just published a little book entitled “Maxwell and Johuston's School Composition,” by Willlam H. Maxwell, city superintendent of schools of New York City, and Emma L. Johnston, principal of public schools, Brooklyn. The topics for composition sug gested n this book are those which will appeal to children—their occupations and games, the world as seen through childish eyes. The pupll Is shown how to present thesn subjects clearly and Interestingly by his apalysis and imitation of models chosen with care from the leading authors. This analysis is carried on by the making of synoptic outlines. The scheme of work is therefore essentially inductive, and cor- respondingly helpful. This is a practical and teachable work, and will be welcomed by the many teachers who already use the other books in Maxwell's English Series. mong the Flowers with Rexford,” the regular department of experiences and help for amateurs in floriculture in the' Feb- ruary Home and Flowers, contains an That and the Mr. Rexford, “How We Bullt a Conserva. by Mrs. John LaValley, “The Pink by W.

Senator Morgan (Ala.) immediately urged that the treaty be amended in many re- spects, promising to oppose it unless o amended. He directed special attention to the fail- ure to embody the act of congress provid- ing for the construction of the canal in the treaty and dwelt at length on what he termed the unreliability and revolutionary character of the government. He asserted that the price which the United States had agreed to pay was exorbitant He also criticized the provision for a perpetual an- nual payment of $260,000 and declared that in all probability much of these payments would go into the pockets of individuals, In this connection, he declared that a re- cent chief executive of the Colombian gov- ernment had sold out and abdicated for $1,000,000. He declared it would be folly tn make the payment of $47,000,000 depend ou so un- substantial an institution as the Colomblan congress, especially in view of the chronic insurrectionarry condition of :he pcopie. Senator Morgan gave notice of thirty pro- posed amendments to the treaty, the most important being: 1. Providing for the ownership of _the canal by the United States instead of a lease for 100 years, to be renewed each cen- tury. 2. To include the cities of Panama and Colon In the canal zome. 3. Glving police ané sanitary control en- tirely to the United States. & %o 'strike out the pledge on the part of the United States not to increase its terri- tory at the expense of any of the Central American republics, with the exception of Colombia. 5 To limit the United States g to the independence of Colomb government of the islands at the and western extremities of the can: | eliminating the guaranty of the integrity of that government. 6. That no trial for damages to property on account of the canal work shail be al- lowed to impede its progress. 7. Giving the United States control of perganent immigration to the canal zone.

WHITE HOUSE TOO COSTLY Vote for Executive Ma to on Leads to Severe Strictures in House of Representatives. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 12.—The house made slow progress with the sundry civil bill today, covering only 27 pages and leaving 40 pages still to be disposed of. The delays today were occasioned by a rather protracted discussion of the item for the maintenance of the White House and considerable debate upon the ap- propriation of $3,000,000 for the reliet ot distress in the Philippines. (N. Y.) eriticised the greatly Increased cost of maintaining the White House. An amendment to cut in half the ap- propriation for the rellef of distress in the Philippines was defeated but the language of the paragraph was modified to require annual reports concerning expenditure. The conference report on the bill to create a general staff in the army, w adopted. After some further routine business, the house went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the sundry civil billL. When the ftem appropriating $60,000 for the care of the executive mansion wa reached, Mr. Gaines, (Tenn.) asked why this appropriation hed been increased from $25,000. Mr. Cannon, (IIL.) replied by calling at. tention to the enlargement of the White House and the construction of the new executive offices. These changes, he suid, Inereased the expenses. | Mr. Gaines quoted the report of Colonel | increased expenses at the White Housa were due to the large amount of enter- taining done by the president. He did not belleve the people should be taxed for these entertalnments. He was sorry $600,000 had been spent to remodel the old White House. Mr. Cannon, in reply, was glad the old White House had been overhauled, but | confessed that the new executive offices had disappointed him. “I think,” said he, “we were entitled to a better building for | the money.” Mr. PFitzgerald, (N. Y.) referred to a | newspaper report that Colonel Bingham's transter had been due to his holding up | certain vouchers in conmection with the | White House improvement | “Will not the gentleman state that Col- | onel Bingham says he was transferred at [bis own request?’ asked Mr. Grabam (Pa). “Ob," replied Mr. Fitzgerald, “it is the common thing for officers whose future is in the service, t0 make statements ex- onerating their superiors. But in my opinion, it reflects upom the president of the United States to have it intimated that an officer is being coerced into ap- proving expenditures his judgment does ot sanction.” Mr. Cochran (Mo.) inveighed against the growing extravagance in official circle the constant demand for increased salaries aud allowances. He described officlal funce tions as an atiempt to imitate court circles abroad. Poor men could mot accept po- sitions in the cabinet or on the bench because of the social expenses entalled and he thought that was an argument for & returning to the simpler methods of olden days. Mr. Simms (Tenn) demominated the executive office as & “hen coop,” which would invite the attack of anarchists.

PLENTY OF WORK FOR COURT Criminal and Civil Docket tain Wetk Con Some Impuriant Canen. DEADWOOD, 8. D., Feb. 12.—(Special.)— The February term of circult court for the Eighth judicial elrcuit of South Da- kota, is in session at Deadwood, and the grand jury is at work. There are several criminal assault cases to be considered by the grand jury, in which a number of wéll kpown men are involved, and sensationd! developments are looked for. The arrests were made several months ago, and the principals were re- leased under bonds. Tt is expected that the bonds of a number will be forfeited, as the men have left the country, and thelr bondsmen have been trying for several weeks to locate them. The girl in the case {s only 14 years old, and the Women's Christian Temperance Unlon of Deadwood has taken up the case to assist in the pros- ecution. ! It Albert Turner, charged with the mur- der of E. M. Dunlap at Lead, is returned froth Nebraska in time to be given a hear- ing before ‘the grand jury adjourns, it is probable he will be indicted. Otherwise the case may go over until the next grand jury assembles. Next Monday the petit jury will report The famous flour bin case fyom Spearfish will be- tried, and will probably be tho most important civil cause to be heard. This is a case wherein the Bank of Spear- fish 18 suing to recover on notes given by prominent citizens of Spearfish to Messrs. Camp & Cross for patent rights. Camp & Cross sold the notes to the bank, and pay- ment was resisted on the ground that fraud had been practiced in obtaining the notex. The case was tried here two years ago and the vourt imstructed the jgry to return a verdict for the bank. The case was ap- pealed and a new trial was ordered by the supreme court.

Feb. 12.—(Special.)— Small boys set fire to the old water tank in Deadwood and it was entirely destroyed It bad been in disuse several years, since the bullding of a new reservoir, but the city bad intended to repair it and use it again. The tank was bullt {n 1879, imme- diately after the deetruction of Deadwood by fire. Had it been completed thirty days sooner it is mot likely that the fire would have proven so destructive. It was of 220,- 000 gallons capacity, and was constructed by the Homestake Mining company for the city of Deadwood.
