D. Roberts, author of “The Kindred of the Wiid," “Barbara Ladd,” ete. This beautiful edition con- tains three new stories and fs flluminated by ten plates from drawings done by Charles Livingstone Bull. These drawings @re very appropriate and serve to make plainer the author's text. In the first story, “Do Beek Thelr Meat from God,” ‘We are made to feel the very presence ©f the panthers as they go into the woods for their prey. Clvilization has driven farther and farther away the deer and ®mall game upon which the wild beasts have before subsisted. They are suffering from hunger; for two whole days the prey has been scant, besides the baby ecubs snuggled away in their lair must be cared Tor. Together they started toward the set- Clement, when suddenly there arose a wound which made them lift their heads. Ut was the wall of a child and the panthers thanged thelr courSe and glided toward the direction of the mound. A baby boy, B years old, had wandered into the forest ®nd night hmd overtaken him. At the Bame time his plteous cry aroused the panthers it attracted a man who was #oing home trom work. Instictively he Rasociated the cry with a’ lonely cgbin sit- iated in the woods. He thought of his own little one, grabbed his gun_and hastened toward the cabin. The panthers, too, hastened as the cries ;aw clearer and Dearer.

He hastened into the cabin only to find the child was his own boy. In the lair behind the rocks the baby cubs starved to death. ‘The' other stories are equally as interest- Ing.

The one volume bntitled, “Hebraismas in the Authorized Ver- on of the Bible,” embodies the results of study made by Dr. Rosenau, designed to Bhow the influence of the Hebrew language ipon the English language through the me- jum of the standard and accepted trans- Edu of the bible.

The other volume Js of more popular im- port, dealing as it - doew with “Jewish Ceremonial Institutions and Customs.” Dr. Rosenau has succeeded signally in giving & graphic and intelligible description of the ritualism of the Jewlsh church and the sig- mificance of the ceremonial objects utilized in the service. Freedom from confusing controversial discussion’ of history is an bther strong point, so that the reader is Raught the meaning of the different Sab- bath and holiday services and of the spe- elal ceremonials In a manner simple and @irect. No one stydying~ Jewish titu- tions can fall to profit ‘by resding JPor. ‘Rosenau's volume, which is a populariza- tion of & series of lectures given by him &t Johns Hopkins university. The illustra- tions, which are photographic reproduc- Alons, are well chosen and appropriate.

This novel narrates the adventures of two charming young women who escape from tiresome country rela- tions and take an apartment in London under the fictitious chaperonage of Mrs, Osborne. Thelr escapades, thelr many de- vices to avold detection and their final disposition of Mrs. Osborne are highly dl- verting. The Bmart Set Publishing com- pany. “Four Epochs of Woman's Life' by Anna M. Galbraith, M. D., is & work writ- ten for the instruction of the laity on sub- jects of which every woman should have a thorough knowledge. The language used is clear and comprehensive, yet, withal, modest, and the meaning easily grasped even by those unfamiliar with medical subjects. W. B. Baunders & Co, pub- lishers. “The Harvesters,” by Aubrey Lanston, relates the story of the marriage of Donald, the son of an English earl and & student at Oxford, to Miss Stark, the daughter of a clergyman. Donald was & “blood," bright and intelligent, with good breeding on his side, but a lover of wine and a gambler. The marriage, owing to the innocence ®f the girl, was a very hasty one and was sofemnized without banns. Donald, him- self, had been drinking and was ready for any adventure. The old earl and the clergyman decided the young couple should ablde by thelr hasty action, and at once set about legalizing the marriage. It is a story ot fascinating interest and full of exciting and dramatic situations. R. H.

Near Molly's window hung a nelghbor’s mockingbird, and through this bitd and a little dog she comes into great happiness. The story is beautifully illustrated in color, and is written with much tenderness and simplicity. R. H. Russell & Co., publishers, New York. “In Old Alabama," by Annie Hobson and dedicated to her brother, Richmond Pear- son, - the - hero ,of Bantiago and magc, is perhaps the most accurate delinea- tion of negro character since ‘‘Uncle Remus.” “Miss Mouse,” the “little black merchant,” ix the narrator of some exceed- ingly good stories, all centering about her- self, the whole forming a remarkable and most humorous picture of life in a small southern town. The beautiful full-page il- lustrations by Carol McPherson are from photographs. At the end of the volume is collected & number of plantation songs. Doubleday, Page & Co., publishers. “Conquering Success, or Life in Earnest," by Willam Mathews. Mr. Mathews Is probably best known as the author of “Getting On In the World,” a book which on its publication thirty years 0 scored an extraordinary success. “Conquering Success,” also addressed to young men on the threshold of life, is written with all the author's old time earnestness and en- thusiasm, and Is equipped with a wealth of anecdote and example which makes it an unusually interesting as well as a very helptul book. Houghton, Miffiin & Co., pub- which read Mr. Ade's “‘Fable ‘with so much avidity and de- Ught in them, will welcome this work from his pen, The incidents are short and pointed, with no suggestion of a plot, and while some of them are slightly pathetie, as a rule they are on the humorous side of life.

He looks doubtful and serfous. The merchant wears one of those beatific, disingenuous, Bryan smiles. Above the plcture, in black type, are the words, ‘Good Goods." Underneath the plc- ture is the following: ‘All wool and a yard wide, and warranted not to rip, ravel or run down at the heel’ The expression upon the merchant's countenance, as well as the language itself, indicates the extent of the sincerity of the merchant (Douglas County Democracy) In representing the stuff to be ‘good goods' to his customer, the voter—in representing that it is ‘all wool’ and a ‘vard wide' ete. If it did not run down at the heel It was because it had no heel to run down. “Turning from this cartoon to the edi- torfal page of the same paper the true character of these goods Is disclosed. The cotton threads, frayed out, proclaim it to be shoddy. It does not feel right to the voter. There is something wrong with it. And this tell-tale material, which enters into the cloth, can be plainly seen under the edi- torial heading, ‘A Dangerous Injunction.’ The plece of goods exhibited is not ‘all wool' nor a ‘vard wide’ It will ‘rip and ravel’ and when we look at the poor old ‘Douglas County Democracy’ we find it badly run down at the heel.

Much to their dismay, they learn that he is one of the ablest lawyers in the district, and is popular and well thought of at home. With this condition of affairs confronting them the situation becomes desperate. They talked for a time of putting Baxter and Estelle off of the ticket, because they had not filed a state- ment of expenses for their endorsement by the democratic convention, but the demo- crats found it was not necessary as Baxter and Estelle had not been candidates before that convention. A prominent democratic attorney wrote and published an exhaustive legal opinioh to justify .the committee in taking the names of these two,candidates oft the ticket, but his premises slons were unsound, and, &s the; law against a man running for office if he did not file a statement of expenses (the inhibition only preventing him from getting a certificate of election in the event of his falling to file such statement), that scheme was abandone “The World-Herald's attack on account of his alleged incompetency proved to be so absurd that it put Sears way ahead, but a place must be made for a democrat at all hazards. The World-Herald is not in- terested in Dickinson and Read, apostate republicans, but is interested in Ferguson and P stmon pure democrats, sp the ‘World-Herald applied the ax to Dickinson's head. It was a bloody act, but it had to be donme. True, Dickinson had ruined his chances politically when from pique or de- sire to hold office he left his own party and became a democratic nonpartisan, but to make assurances of his defeat doubly sure the World-Herald takes the patns to ad- just Dickinson's head to the editorfal gul lotine in the morning edition of October 8 in this fashion: “A Dangerous Injunction. “Government by injunction has come to be recognized as one of the great evils of the day, and a restraining order, which h en granted by Judge Dickinson of district, 1s certalnly open to criticism, In the past the World-Herald has had much to say in praise of Judge Dickinson, He has beén one of the best and ablest dges of this district, and the World- Herald has given him most earnest suj port in his candidacy for re-electio n many declsions he has vindicated the right and rebuked the wrong, protected the peo- ple's Interests and checked encroachments upon it.

" FOR AN OMAHA BEAUTIFUL Prospect Hill Improvers Line Up in Favor of the Move of the Central Club. “An Omaha Beautiful” was the theme discussed at the meeting of the Prospect Hill fmprovers last evening. Small ltkeng.- ance did not deter those who were thel from entering earnestly and vigorously into the spirit of the meeting. Mr. Dally spoke of the condition of streets and alleys, which, he told the club, are in fair condition for winter, and in view of the shortage of funds with which to carry on street work the probability of further improvement in that direction he considered very remote this fall. Mr. Talbot, who looks after the street lighting on the hill, or at least js willing to help, spoke of the necessity for a gas lixht at the corner of Thirty-sixth and Dacotus He moved that the matter be referred to the committse on street lightwng, which motlon carrfed anc a committes was In- structed ‘v bring the matte~ to the atten- tion of the city counel. In connection with che movement among all improvemsnt elubs making for an “Omaha Leautif1l” Mr Daiis culled the at- tention of the club Lo tha mnss meeting of improvers achaduled for the 23a of the present month, to be held at the county courthouse in courtroom No. I, and at which a gentleman from St. Louls, skilled In the improvement line, would dellver a lecture fllustrated with scenes from his home city. He also spoke at some length of the plan proposed at the last meeting of the central body looking to the organization of the school children into junlor clubs, to help along in the general scheme to render the city beautiful,'and of the proposition, also advanced by the Central club, to place the grounds of the city schools in the hands of the park commissioners. He advised the Prospect Hill improvers to be alert, and being the oldest club In the city suggested that It was proper for the club to take im- mediate steps to organize a junior club and expressed the hope that such a chib would be a tangible thing before the date of the proposed mass meetin CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Special Meeting Held, Wat Very Little Pressing Business Gets Attention, o TS The call 6f Mayor Moores for a special meeting of the city fathers last night brought forth a quorum, but there was mighty little doing. 'The mayor was not there, ‘and Chatrmaii' Nicholson of the street improvements ‘and viaducts com- mittee pleaded for fore time on the spe- ¢lal report in his handd. The report deals Wwith the ordinance which will grant to the Chicago Great Western rallroad the right and franchise Yor certain territory within the bounds of the city. President Zimman stated that an opportunity will be given to the property holders to plead thelr cases today at 10 o'clock, and Mr. Nicholson then annéunced that he would hold his report until next Tuesday. The entire meeting ‘was not over twenty minutes' duration and the members cor- ralled were Evans, Dyball, Nicholson, O'Brien and Zimman. The absentves were Back, Hoye, Huntington and Schroeder. A bunch of four vetos from the mayor were recelved, but these were speedily disposed of by President Zimman announcing that they could not be heard at this special meeting and they were laid over without being opened. City Clerk Elbourn an- nounced a list of places for registration and the following resignations were ac- ocepted from the registration board: J. H. Berger, George W. Coryell, H. A. Danlel, W. 8. Greenleat and George Eckles. A resolution commending the action of the city clerk in publishing the notices of the places of registration in The Evening Bee and the World-Herald was adopted, as was also one changing the place for registration in the Fourth district of the Fourth ward to 266 Douglas street. The last resolution, providing for the filling Qf vacancies on the board of registration for both parties, was adopted, and then, on motion of Councllman O'Brien, the meeting adjourned. FIRST CONVICTION OF KIND ished by Finding Guilty Woman Cha with In the oriminal dlvision of the district court the first conviction ever made before Judge Estelle on the charge,of larceny from the person was mage yesterday after- noon. The case was that of Minnie Brown, colored. The defendant In this case was a resi- dent of the burnt district. Of late the in- crease In the number of cases where lar- ceny from the person was charged, has worried the county officials, as it is & hard matter to secure convictions in these cases. The plaintiff in this case, H. D. Jones while a visitor at Miss Brown's domiclle, had six §$20 gold pleces taken from his per- ®on and charged Miss Brown with the theft. The case was called before Judge Estelle Tuesday morning and yesterday afterncon the jury returned a verdict of sullty and the defendant is therefore sub- Ject to a penitentiary sentence. Speaking of this case, Judge Estelle sald: “This conviction is a matter of much concern to me and I am gratified to know that we have established this precedent. It will give the habitues of the resorts below the line some idea of what they may expect in future cases of this kind. They victimize every one of the persons who have exhibited such poor judgment as to visit these places. There are no reasons however, why wholesale robberies should be made a rule, even In these resorts.” In this case the prosecuting attorney was Assistant County Attorney Frank L. Weaver. CHURCH'S ANNUAL MEETING Seclety of St. Mary's Avenue Congre- ational Transacts Some Business. The soclety of the St. Mary's Avenue Con- sregational church, which has charge of the financial interests of the body, held a meet- ing in the church parlors last night to transact the regular annual business.

A vote of thanks was extended to the officers of the financial committee for the good work done by them during tho past year. W, J. Connell, who has served on the board of trustees of the church for al- most twenty years, received the thanks of all the speakers for his hard work and time expended in furthering the interests of the church. He was tendered the election as & member of the board for the coming year but declined. VETERAN FIREMEN TO BANQUET Committee to Prepare for Spread for the Association Named Last Night. The meeting of the Veteran Firemen's association held in the office of Chief Salter, last night was quite well attended. The applications of E. H. Walker, Zenas Ste- vens, Alfred R. Toozer and Charles F. Manderson for admission as members of the assoclation were recelved and ail were elected to membership. A resolution favor- ing an annual banquet to be held some time cCuring the latter part of November was passed, and a committee of four, composed of Willlam Alstadt, John Baumer, Charles Brunig and F. H. Koesters, was appointed by the chair to set the date and arrange the detalls. It was decided that each member who desired to attend the banquet should be assessed §1 for his own’ ticket and the same amount for guests invited by him. A communication asking that the asso- clation become a member of the National Firemen's assoclation was received from the secretary of the national organization, E. W. Gillan of Chicago. A resolution instrugting the local secretary to fill out the application blank and send the initia- tion fee, amounting to $2, to the national association was acted upon favorably. Mrs. Sarah E. Parr expressed her appre- clation of a donation amounting to $15 made to her by the assoclation in time of her sickness, by a letter of thanks which was read.
