THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1895. 17 AMONG THE NEW BOOKS Something of a between-times in litera- ture as in events, social and otherwise, are these weeks of early autumn. Hopeful authors are laying secret plans for winter | triumphs, and readers are waiting for what | next. Inthe name of all patriotism it is | to be hoped that the literary grist of th approaching months will be worth taking from the mill. High standard American | fiction is the need of the day—strong, char- | acteristic and true. The sentiment is grow- ing that the English fiction writers are poaching too much on our preserves. Their literary following is often larger abroad than at home. But we must admit | the reason is that the standard of their | MRS.

Not for many years has there been the clamor for good reading on topics purely American that there is at present. One of the books of the week, elsewhere reviewed, is “Grania,” by Hon. Emily Lawless, an English woman of note. Asa study of womankind it is entitled to rank Mrs. Humphry Ward’s “Story of Bessie Costr ’ about which the critics have joyfully chanted. ‘Grania’” is a strong character study as well asa book witha purpose. “Bessie Costrell,” the, gossips say, has already brought Mrs. Ward over $15,000, and now it is to be put on the sta Mr. du Maurier and Mrs. Ward may sympethize with each®other. Edward Townsend’s new book, treating of New York tenement life, will soon be published, and all Chimmie Fadden's friends are waiting to give it welcome. Another young Californian who is going to be heard down the corridors of time, in my judgment, is Lincoln Steffens, son of a Sacramento banker. Heis in New York journalism, but puts in his spare time on magazine work of high class. From New York comes the news that Miss Harraden, having enjoyed a sojourn of several weeks in California, will soon turn out a novel based on her observations. It is to be hoped that she will make amends for her last Santa Barbara ranch story, which as fiction was almost puerile. Mr. Garland, fraternally alluded to by the Philistine as “Ham” Garland, is also said to have several California sketches up his sleeve, and Owen Wister, since he spent. & fortnight with us, seems to have barreled up enough ammunition to bag hundreds of stories. Mr. Fernald, a young San Fran- ciscan, is at present marketing a number of California fiction studies in the New York magazines. TUpon _the best authority—that of the author—it is learned that a well-known Ban Francisco writer, long in newspaper service but now retired, is soon to publish a political history of San Francisco. It will be a critical study and should make excellent reading, for it will cover topics in the city’s inside politics never before put into book form. In nis leader writing this author was noted for calling things by their right names, and hitting nails square- ly on the head, in a trenchant style that made him both feared and admired. In the current number of Scribner’s Magazine Lloyd Osborne has a_delightful description of Robert Louis Stevenson’s home life at Samoa.

A Christmas tree re- | joiced the household every vear, and was the occasion of breathless anticipation and excite- ment; and the little fiesta was not unenhanced by the good-humored raillery with which the presents were distributed.

Of these two volumes have now | appeared containing a critical review of Ga. works as pictures of Scotland in th last century, a biography of the author and two of his best known stories: ‘An- | nals of the Parish” and the ‘‘Ayrshire Legatees.” Mr. Crockett, who furnishes the critical | introduction to the series, warns the reader | at the start that Galt's best books do not | contain even the rudiments of a plot and } TéE NE [By R.

At timesa war party would halt at our front veranda, discuss & bowl of ’ava with the head of the house, and melt picturesquely away again in the forest, with perhaps a feu de joie in honor of their host—a compliment_that he would gladly have dispensed with. Mesls were often served in the great hall of Vailima, 8 nople room over fifty feet long and proportio ly broad, of which Mr. Stevenson was pardouably proud. At half-past 2 the clapping of hands announced that ’ava was prepared—that pecu- liar beverage of the South Pacific— and when _every one was aswembled it was called and distributed in the SHAKESPEARE'S HEROINES ON THE STAGE. Mr. Charles E. L. Wingate, managing editor of the Boston Journal and Boston correspondent of the New York Critic, has gathered into this sumptuous volume an extraordinary amount of fascinating in- formation relating to Mrs. Bellamy, Mrs. Cibber, Miss O'Neill, Mrs. Abendon, Eliza- beth Farren, Louisa Brunton, Ellen Tree, Mrs. Mary Robinsen, Julia Marlowe, Mme. Modjeska, Mrs. Langtry, Mrs. Siddons, Ellen Terry and dozens of other famous actresses who have identified themselves with Juliet, Beatrice, Hermione, Perdita, Viola, Imogen, Rosalind, Cleopatra, Lady Macbeth, Queen Katharine, Portia, Kath- arina, Ophelia and Desdemona. It serves as a running history of the English stage in oneof its most interesting phases; anec- dote, gossip, criticism, appreciation, ro- mance are mixed in just the right propor- tions. Itisa work of deep research and written in a delightful style. The illus- trations are many of them copies of rare prints and are most attractive. The book certainly serves as a contribution toward BSamoan manner, Mr. Stevenson receiving the first cup according to the dictates of etiguette. “here were always visitors living the “the one missing book in Shakespearian lore.,” It hu‘flny-three illustrations and that there is no adventure in them. They are truly the simple annals of the poor. The charm of them lies in the very quiet- ness of the life described, the genial humor of the characters and the exquisite sim- plicity of the style. Galt is more like Goldsmith than any other writer, but while in the “Vicar of Wakefield” there is a continuous story with a distinct begin- ning, middle and end, with a plot that is unraveled as the story goes on, in the “Annals of the Parish’ there is none of these. Kach chapter can be read sepa- rately with almost as much pleasure as in connection with others, and the only continuity in the book is the recurrence |. of certain men and women in every chapter. i In his own age Galt was entirely over- shadowed by the wonderful success of Scott’s novels, but at this time it is possi- ble he may take almost as high a rank as his great rival. The novels of Scott are romances, but those of Galt are real his- tory. A truer pictureof life among the Scotch at the close of the last century can- not be found anywhere than in the works which are now being republished. They are literally sketches from life as well as of Iife, and are none the less interesting be- cause the types are drawn from the peas- antry and not from the richer classes. “The Annals of the Parish” may in fact be accounted as something more than a novel, and be studied as one of the best records we have of social development in a rural community.

Miller treats in this very remarkable book of his may be inferred by the fact that it is a ready in its thirtieth thousand. “The Strike of a Sex’ can only be char- acterized as a remarkable book It pos- sesses a quality shared by few books so | obviously written ‘with a purpose,” a fair degree of literary merit. It is, moreover, a periect. the limitations of taste, of a subject which, while of crucial importance to mankind, is not generally treated of outside of med- ical annal iller evidently believes, to quote vords, that everything tious, painstaking study, and that .every- thing ~involving human happiness or misery 1s a legitimate field for honest effort for improvement. He has therefore turned his attention to a consideration of the | woes of womankind, under existing social | custom and habit of thought, through ex- cessive child-bearing. 1 ory is of a condition of society un- der which’all the women throughout the country—mothers, wives, daughters and the courtesan—have “struck’; have re- | tired from the presence of man, and refuse to have any manner of dealing with the sterner half of humanity until certain con- ditions which they impose are acreed upon. All but one of these the men hasten to comply with. Full political and social | rights are accorded women, but the latter refuse to capitulate until it is fixed as a aw, lecal as well as ethical, that every shall have the sole right to determine whether or not she shall bear children. The logical basis for this demand is laid in a certain “discovery,” which the author places to the credit of one Zugassent, an eminent scientist, and which renders pos- siole, and compatible with matrimonial happiness, the fulfillment of the women’s demand. In what the ‘‘discovery” con- sists the author does not say, a regretable circumstance which he has in a measure remedied in another book which be calls ‘After the Sex Struck.”” There is an im- mense suggestion in Mr. Miller’s hook. The benefit the reader derives from it will depend largely, however, upon what he brings to it of thoughtful, hon- est purpose. Mr. Miller himself is evidently in earnest, and his book is wholly free from any suggestion of a desire on his part to wander un- warrantably into forbidaen paths. It is ‘| thoughtful and sincere, and the concep- tion, extravagant though it is, is worthy of consideration. [Boston: The Arena Publishing Com- pany.

Itis a sad tale of lonely life on one of the barren isles of Arran, off the North Irish coast. Itisa tale with a moral undoubt- Irish islander, and the plot suggests that certainly here is a field for philanthropy and educational systems and progressive sociology. The heroine, “Grania,’”’ is a type of noble womanhood far above the class into which she was born.

The innovation was begun two years ago, and is now carrying on its special line of work most successfully. Its membership has already reached nearly 500, located in nineteen different States, a number of its students being in this State. Interest in this work has also been awak- ened in foreign lands, notably in Great Britain. An enthusiastic Jewish Chau- tauquan traveling abroad has carried her enthusiasm into England this year and is making propaganda. The National Council of Jewish Women, organized at the Women’s Congress of the World's Columbian Exposition, has taken up the Jewish Chautauqua courses, commending them in the highest terms to the members, and the various study circles of the coun- cil are follawing out these readings. Special courses in Jewish history and lit- erature are now announced. These courses EDWARD EGGLE- RUDYARD KIPLING, STON.

This well-known weekly, in its number of September 21, devotes sixty-four pages to a review of the condition of crops of all kinds. It is full of good reading and should be preserved for reference. The records indicate a hopeful outlook for the fruit-growing industry, and the summaries ipgicme brighter signs of the times on all sides. THE UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The American University Magazine for September contains several articles that are especially noteworthy. The guestion of compulsory attendance at college chapels is beginning to be thoroughly agitated and Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, D.D., who has recently been appointed chairman of a committee to consider this question at Williams College, gives his ideas on the subject at length. The history of Harvard University is continued, with an article on the Harvard medical school by Ramon Guiteras, M.D. There is a_handsomely illustrated article on the University of Georgia and one on Knox College. An en- tertaining account of the New York Stu- dents’ Club is written by E. Lawre nce Hunt. The Rutgers Alumni Associati on of New York and vicinity, by W. H. Van Steenbergh, is illustrated with views of the college and portraits of the graduates. Rutgers College should be proud of the showing her alumni make. OLD SOUTH LEAFLETS. The directors of the Old South work of the time-honored Old South meeting- house of Boston are publishing a series of leaflets, cltiefly upon patriotic topies. They comprise, chiefly, reprints from writers whose work has stood the test of time. A strong moral tone runs through all, and they make good reading for the thoughtful. John Milton’s famous essay on ‘“‘A Free Commonwealth’ is among those of recent issue. It was first printed in 1660. It treats of ‘‘the ready and easy way to establish a free commonwealth, and the excellence thereof, compared with the in- conveniences and dangers of readmitting kingship in this Nation.” Here is an ex- tract: “The whole freedom of man consists Its strong feature of | | settle the Gove either in spiritual or civil liberty. As for spiritual, who can be at rest, who can enjoy anything in this world with contentment, who hath not liberty to serve God aund to save his own soul according to the best light which God hath planted in him to that purpose by the reading of his revealed will and the guidance of his Holy Spirit? That this is best pleasing to God, and that the whole Protestant church allows no supreme judge or rule in matters of reli- gion but the Scrigtures, and these to be interpreted by the Scriptures themselves, which necessarily infers liberty of conscience, I have heretofore proved at large in another treatise, and might yet further, by the public declara- tions, confessions and admonitions of whole churches and States, obvious in all histories since the Reformation. “This liberty of conscience, which above all other things ought to be to all men dearest and most precious, no Govern- ment more inclinable not to favor only, but to protect, than a free commonwealtb, as being most magnanimous, most fear- less, and confident of its own fair proceed= ings. Whereas kingship, though lookin, big, yet indeed most pusillanimous, full of fears, full of jealousies. started at every umbrage, as 1t hath been observed of old to have ever suspected most and mistrusted them who were in most esteem for virtue and generosity of mind, so it is now known to have most in doubt and suspicion them who are most reputed to be religious. Queen Elizabeth, though herself accounted so good a Protestant, so moderate, so confident of her subjects’ love, would never give way so much as to Presbyterian reformation in _this land, though once and again besought, as Cam- den relates; but imprisoned nnfi persecuted the very proposers thereof, alleging it as her mind and maxim unalterable that such reformation would diminish regal au- thority.” Other recent leaflets are letters of Hooper to Bullinger (1546), Pyne’s speech against Strafford (1641), Cromwell’s second speech (1654), Ship-money pape (1634), Sir Henry Vane’s defense (1662), Si. John jliot’s ““Avologie for Socrates” (1632). In that famous second speech to the first Par- liament of the Protectorate, Cromwell said earnestly and somewhat quaintly to our ears: ““You have great works upon your hands. You have Ireland to look unto. There is not much done to the Planting thereof, though some things leading and preparing for it are. It is a great business to rnment of that nation upon fit terms, such as will bear that work through—You have had laid before you some considerations, intimating your peace with several foreign States. But yet you have not made peace with all. And if they should see we do not manage our affairs with that wisdom which be- comes us, truly we may sink under disad- vantages, for all that’s done. And our enemies will have their eyes open, and be revived, if they see animosities among us, which indeed will be their great advantage. I do, therefore, persuade you to a sweet, gracions and holy uaderstanding_of one ancther, and of your busines Concern= ing which you had so good counsel this day; which as it rejoiced my heart to hear, so 1 hope the Lord will imprint it upon your spirits — wherein you shall have my prayers.” Park Music To-Day.

You see I had three different friends who had been treated here, and they were cured, so nat- urally I knew I could be cured, too. The relief that & patient obtains from the treatmentis worth much more than the fee, to say nothing about the cure which 1s sure to follow.” The above remark was made by a former patient in the reception-parlors at the Cope- iand Medical Institate. He had been cured and had brought in_a friend, to whom he was recommending the doctors. It is remarks like this which show wherein lies the remarkable success of Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn_dur- ing the past four years. The treatment isnot only a certain cure, but is a speedy relief from the annoying symptoms of chronic diseases, and the low rate, 5 a month, including all necessary medicines, not only brings the treat- ment within the reach of all, but makes it quite an object these hard times. THEIR CREDENTIALS. Dr. W. H. Copeland is a graduate of Bellevae Hospital Medical College of New York City, was president of his class in that famous institution, and, after thorough hospital training and ex- perience, devoted his time and attention to special lines of practice. Dr. Neal and Dr. Winn passed through = similar course, and have for years been asso- ciated with Dr. Copeland. Dr.J. G. Neal won first honors in col- lege, and was appointed resident physi- cian of the City Hospital. He filled the position with honor and received the hospital diploma. He also holds several gold medals for special excellence in various branches of medicine, and_after graduation was elected an adjunct professor of his college. Dr. A. €. Winn isagraduate of Bellevue Hospital Medieal College, and of the medical department of the University of Missouri. They have devoted them- selves entirely tothe treatment of their specialties. Years of experience in these special lines, preceded by extensive hospital work, have fitted them in a notable degree for the practice of their profession. THE TORTURES OF CATARRH. The Symptoms as Described by Mr. G. ‘W. Moore—What the Treatment Did for Him. Mr. George W. Moore, an old resident of this State and who has lived at the American Ex- change Hotel on Sansome street for the past eight years, is another who has been made ha%py by the inexpensive specialty treatment of Drs.
