GREATEST AMERICAXN NOVEL OF RECENT YEARS, Say the Critics. 125th THOUSAND LLOYD BRYCE., Editor of the North American Review, says in the New York Herald: b “You sink into ‘Eben Holden’ as into the arms of an easy chair. . . . It rests you. The sun streams into your corner as you You hear the babble of brooks, the sigh of the wind, the soft wave of the standing grain, the whisper of leaves. ‘Eben Holden’ has some of the essential ele- ments of a great book. It appeals to the simple palate instead of the sated. It appeals to the weary and the jaded instead of to the frivologs. And there is underneath all a deep sympathy with nature in its various expressions which attunes humanity to it and spells the wider brotherhood of man, Irving Bacheller in some ways is to literature what Wagner is to music—I mean all his power to portray nature. . . In ‘Eben Holdew he has written a book that will imoe.”’ = W. D. HOWELLS says: “It is ‘as pure as water and as good as bread.”” 12mo, gold lettered on red cloth, gilt top, 81.50.

Bince the Republi- can members of the House Committee on Ways and Means, with the assistance of Secretary of the Treasury Gage, framed the general outlines of a bill proposing a cut of $30,000,000 in war taxes the Repub- lican members of the Senate Finance Committee have plainly indicated their dissatisfaction with the work and have reaches the Senate it will be amended so as to make the cut much heavier. The administration is in harmony with the House leaders. The President does not want to take any chances on having the revenues reduced so as to produce & deficit or embarrass the treasury in meet- | ing the expenditures which will be neces- sary if the présent elaborate scheme of | is carried | legislation and appropriation out. The President is making his influence felt on the Republican Senators. He had at dinner in the White House to-night Senators_Aldrich of Rhode Island, Platt of New York, Platt of Connecticut, Alli- son of Jowa and Elkins of West Virginia, all but the latter being members of the Senate Committee on Finance. It is un- derstood that the proposed revenue re- duction bill was the chief topic of con- versation and that the President urged a conservative course. Funeral of Admiral McNair.
