THE SUNDAY CALL. CONDUCTED BY B. G.' LATHROP HE name of James Creelman is al- ready well known through his work as & war correspondent and inter- viewer. Last year he published a book from matter collected during nis interviews with the world's great per- sonages, under the title of “On the Great Highway.” This year he appears in the tole of movelist as the author of “Eagle Blood,” lirhing Company, Boston. This story is original and up-to-date in its novel conceptions of_ plot and in its execution. We have had many & book on the American girl of wealth who mar- ries the English nobleman for his title— end lives to rue her choice for the rest of her days and to the end of the book— but here is & story on new lines. It is a tale of the eventual supremacy of “Eagle Blood”; of the absorption of the blood of the British lion into the veins of the American eagle. Mr. Creei- man gives us a rattling good story from the other standpoint of the English aris- tocracy. He takes as his hero a young English nobleman soon to fall heir to the title of Earl, but whose family fortunes Lave been ruined by American progress. The young man is advised by his solicl- tor, in all good faith, to get what little money he can together and then o to America and wed an American helress— to now turn his title to account to save himself from work and starvation. But this young chap had the blood of the cru- saders in his veins and aithough’ he is fitted neither by education nor past en- vircnment with the qualities that mught make him a success in the business world his spirit revolts at the idea of selling his good name and he decides to make « fight for a livelihood and advancement on his own account. The young Viscount assumes his moth- er's name and goes to America with a few letters of introduction and as plain *Hugh Dorsay, Englishman.” Mr. Creelman gives us a fine character study in this portrayal of a proud scion of an old stock, and never can it be said that the author overdoes the development which is to make of “Hugh Dorsay, Eng- lishman” the better man “Hugh Dorsay, American.” Hugh struggles Into a position on a @aily newspaper in New York and If It were not for the kindly help of old “Bob™ Martin he would soon fall by the way- elde—but this good old gentleman helps bim out with a sure hand and starts him The Bookbinders’ Guild of California = «» First Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Bockbinding, November 14h to 30th. 1n the Roems of Elder and Shepard 238 Post Street, San Francisco s R OUR BOOK authors and sub.

We are OMDON Brider I5 BURNING on his first straight road that is to lead him from his former weak and effeminate scif to the scarcely recognizable figure published by the Lothrop Pub- fof strength we are to meet in the latter pages of the book. Martin has a very charming daughter, who gives a flavor of the real spirit of £weet American womgnhood to the story and is a potent factor in the development of the character of young Dorsay, as well as in his ultimate happiness. Two other women figure in the novel ard both of them are admirable creations of art. One is the daughter of the mil- lionaire, who is looking for just such a title as Hugh Dorsay holds, but does not know until near the end of the chapters that he is other than he has represented —just plain Hugh Dorsay. The other weman, who plays a mest important part in the plot, is quite a unique personage— a Becky Sharp with powers of hypnotism and a dabbler in the occult not to be de- spised. Hugh, of course, falls in love with the lovable Helen Martin, and it is easy Lo see at an early stage in the narration that his affection in that direction is returned. On the other hand, the millionairess is also deserving of some attention as a matrimonial candidate, but the strongest influence brought to hear comes from Miss Grush, the advehturess with the hypnotic powers. Early in the story she manages by her skill as a hypnotist to seriously involve the young Englishman and handicap him in ever asking for the kand of Helen Martin. This phase of the story shareg the interest with the gradual metamorphosis of Hugh Dorsay—incom- petent, to Hugh Dorsay—man. After his hypnotic entanglement fol- lows a strong scene between Miss Grush and the owner of the newspaper, in which the reader learns a thing or two that adds greatly to the further Interest of the story, but which would mar the plot of the book to narrate here. Dorsay goes to Manila and finally takes active part in the hostilities against the Filipinos.” Mr. Creelman’s great ability as a war correspondent stands him In good stead here, and this part of the story is one of the most interesting fea- tures of the book. Several of the other characters appear here also, and there 1s plenty of action, incident and counter- plot to keep the reader keyed up to the highest pitch of excitement. Several dramatic climaxes arise through the further machinations of the versatile and unscrupulous Miss Grush, and the value of the narration is well sustained unti] the last page. Below is given an extract from that striking scene where Miss Grush, having found out by acci- dent the secret of Hugh Dorsay’s noble birth, tries hypnotism in order to Win for herself the hand and title of the future Earl of Castlehurst: e rock Gryscal from the cAbinet And bendinc it £F ber guest, “‘was cut from the he tain in Thibet and was brought to me by a Bonpa monk."* 3 “How beautiful it is,” said Hugh, holding up the polished crystal ball, which mirrored every tint and color in the room. ‘“The ancents used to believe that rock crystal wae congealed fce.” “Hold It closer to your face and examine it caretully,” suggested Miss Grush.

The Funk & Wagnalls Company of New York has just published a_pocket manual under the name of “A Brief of Necro- scopy.” by Gustav Schmitt, M. D., that will be found of interest and practical use to physicians, lawyers and expert wit- nesses. It supplies in brief form, and yet with every essential detail, all practical facts connected with the study, diagnosis, technique and the medico-legal aspect of a post-mortem examination. To the phy- sician the advantage of the book is ap- parent. The suddenness of a call to make a post-mortem examination leaves little time for him to post himself on the sub- ject. It is unpleasant as well as incon- venient to carry along a medical library for reference. By reason of its size, Dr. Schmitt’s little manual can be slipped into the pocket 1o serve as a guide for whatever emergency may arise. It also means to the phvsician protection from the law. It is of great value when he makes a section and again when he reports upon the case. It prepares him to give testimony and so saves him from the badgering of attorneys and the-criti- cism of the general public. On the.other hand, it assists the attor- ney in cross-examination, especially upon the points as to whether the post-mortem was conducted according to law and whether the diagnosis was correct. To the expert witness it 1s a post-mor- tem in a nutshell. Of the present work, Dr. John B. Huber, who was, under Mayor Strong’s adminis- tration, Coroner's Physician of New York County, writes as follows: ““The book is an essential contribution to practical medical literature. I have ex- aminedy the manuscript with a great deal of pleasure and yet with a feeling of per- sonal regret. For me it has come too late. When I was a coroner's physician, I sought in vain for some such work. I had to wander through ponderous tomes for the information which is here given con- cigely and exactly.” The price of the book is $L. Mrs. Tree. “Mrs. Tree,” from the pen of Laura E. Rictards and published by Dana Estes & Co., Boston, is a delightful tale and very appropriate for summer reading. The author has a pleasing story and tells it in a charming manner. Her characters are true to life. The reader cannot fail to enter into the spirit of the story aud before finishing the little volume become well acquainted with Direxia Hawkes, Dr. Stedman. Vista Blyth, Tommy Candy, Jthurial Butters and a score of 'other droll characters only to be found fn the country, and faithfully portrayed by a clever writer. Miss Richards has the courage to make her leading character & woman nearing the four score and ten mark. Mrs. Tree is aged, but not in- firm. That she possesses a mind alert and active is evidenced by her views on life and her grasp of things going on around her. At times Mrs. Tree is crab- bed and sharp in her conversation, but the reader learns to love her, as she has a kindly heart and an appreciation of the sorrows, disappointments and successes of her friends. 3 Following s a selection from the vol- ume: “Here's that boy again!" sald = Direxia Hawkes. o “What boy?" asked Mrs, Tree, but her eyes brightened as she spoke, and she lald down her bLook with an expectant alr. “‘Tornmy Candy. 1 told him I guessed you couldn't be bothered with him, but he's there ** ““Show him in. Come in, child! Don't sidle! ¢ You are not a crab. Come here and make your manners.”’ The boy advanced slowly, but not unwill- ingly. He was an odd-looking child, with epiky black hair, a mouth like a circus clown and gray eves that twinkled almost gs brightly as Mrs. Tree's own. The xray eves and the black exchanged a look of mutual comprehension. ‘‘How do you do, Thomas Candy?" said Mrs, Tree, formally, bolding out her little hand in its white lace mitt. It was an afternoon and she was dressed to receive callers. ““Fhake hands as 1f vou meant it, boy! I sald shake hands—not. flap flippers; You are nott a seal. ‘There, that's better. How do ¥ou do, Thomas Candy?" *How-do-you-do-Missis-Tree-I'm-pretty-well- thank:you-and-Nove-you-are-the-same.”" Having uttered this sentiment as If it were one word, Master Candy drew a long breath and sald in a different tone: ‘I come to see the Pird and hear 'bout Grumpy—ean 17" “May 1, not can, Tommy Candy. You mayn't see the bird; he's having a nap and doesn’t like to be disturbed; but you may hear about your grandfather. Whereupon Mrs. Tree tells the youth what his grandfather did in bygone days. The author displays great cleverness in her dialogue and the talk is very inter- esting. The book is well worth reading. It is just large enough to slip into a pock- et with ease. Price, 75 cents. Anglo-Saxon Poems. E€ilver, Burdett & Co., New York, have just published ‘““Judith, Phoenix and OtI er Anglo-Saxon Poems,” translated from: the Grein-Wulker text by J. Leslie Hall, PL. D., professor of English in the Col- iege of Willlam and Mary. In 1892 Pro- fessor Hall published 'his translation of ihe old Anglo-Saxon poem ‘'Beowulf,” the oldest epic of Teutonic literature. The. success of this book led him to continue his work In interpreting the poetry of the Anglo-Saxons to those who are not able to read it for themselves. The present volume contains *“‘Judith,” “Phoenix,” *'Maldon,” ‘‘Brunnanburh™ and “Andrew,” five of the most famous monuments of our primal poetry. It is a companion to the “‘Beowulf” volume. The author uses the same metrical move- ment, with siight changes in_the way of improvement. The marginalia, as in “Beowulf,” furnishes a running commen- “tary on the text and help the non-techni~ cal reader to grasp the details of the story, myth, homily or allegory. The footnotes give variant readings and ren- derings of the text. (Price 75 cents.) Aladdin O’Brien. Geuverneur Morris, the author of “Tom Beauling.” has a new novel just from the publishing house of The Century Com- pany, risw York. This book appears with SN, SIOUAIROY the rather attractive title of *Aladdin O’'Brien” and is a story of quaint charac- ters and well concelved situations. Alad din is a hero of the rollicking, lovable sort—one of the kind that you cannot help liking from the very beginning. The plot Is the old, but ever new, one of two men in love with the same girl. Mr. Merris writes in an easy and original £tyle. however, so there is plenty of nov- elty for the diversion seeker. The book teems with humor and pathos of just the kind to delight the confirmed novel reader. The climax of the story occurs, during a famous battle of the Civil War—an in- tense and novel situation. The captivat- ing little spitfire of a rebel lass who comes to taunt and remains to nurse the wounded Aladdin, and the three colossal Dbrothers of the heroine—suggestive of the trio in ““Trilby,” because of their light- hearted recklessness—are characters that will attract the reader from the first. A good old-fashioned ending follows the storm and stress of a story of decided hu- man interest. The price of the book is Michael Carmichael. Miles Sandys has written a clever story of .love and mystery entitled ‘“‘Michael Carmichael.” . 1t is from the press of Lairg & Lee of Chicago. The novel is 2 sensational one. The author informs the reader in the preface that the man- uscript was left for ‘posterity by the man after whom the book takes its name. “John Lisle,” the alleged custodian of the manuscript, turns it over to the author with the following conclusions: “If this story Is a novel there can, of course, be but one opinion of the prin- cipal character. He is, from first to last, a fit companion for his accomplice and alleged tempter, Gilbert. In the end he did not get what he deserved, but he certainly deserved all he got. If the story is true in every part; if it was really written as a vindication of the con- duct of Michae! Carmichael in his re lation to the persons and events herein described, it pose.” Carmichael's hypocrisy is nauseating, but one marvels at the man. His naive explanations for his pecullar actions and his defense of his criminal acts make the manuscript a remarkable one. The reader becomes disgusted with the main character in the book and Is tempted to throw it aside, but the story is such a signally fails of its pur- . clear insight’ into the human heart. fascinating one that he or she takes it up sgain In the hope of learning what was the endirg of this man's lite and how the tempter Gilbert met his just deserts. The novel abounds in thrilling episodes. The manuscript is supposed to be the work of a lawyer and bears evidence of the mental training that one in his pro- fession recelves. Miles Sandys lhowedfl: also wag well versed in the technical phases of the law, as In this volume he gives the reader an idea of the value of evidence and the proper manner of cross-examining witnesses. Memoirs of J. Russell Young. Among the journalists of the generalion that went through the Civil War and the reconstruction period, John Russell Young held a bright and eminent place. He knew almost all the famous men of his time, and with many of them was on terms of friendly intimacy. Moreover, his acquaintance extended beyond our own shores and he counted among his friends a large number of noted men in England and on the Continent. His journalistic career included service as a war corre- spondent, as editorial writer and as man- aging editor. He accompanied Grant around the world, and later on represent- ed the United States in China, where he became an admirer and friend of Li Hung Chang. A man of wuch varied experiences und of such skill as an observer and a writer might well be expected to leave the world & volume of memoirs of great interest and not little historic value. In the re- tirement of his later years he had an ambition to do =0, and planned to publish his memolrs under the title, “Men and Memorfes.” Unfortunately he did not live to> complete the work. The possibil'tiss of the plan, however, were too great (o escape notice, and after his death Mrs. Young undertook to compile from the writings of her husband a serles of sketches - of men and events which would serve as a memorial of his busy life. . The collection thus made falls far short of what the public would have liked. Writing as he did for newspapers, having no thougnt beyond the day of publication, and aim- ing to interest for the moment, Mr. Young in these collected papers furnishes noth- ing of permanent value, and they will be found interesting only by those who wish to recall the s¢ntiments of a bygoe generation. An illustration of the tone and value of the buok can be found in the treat- ment of the impeachment and acquittal of President Johnson. Young was close to the inside ccunells of the impeachers and might have written a very valuable review of that famous event In our lis- tory, but all that we get of it in this book is an editorial publighed in the Tri- bune after the acquittal, in which, after announcing that six Republican Senators —Grimes, Trumblll, Fowler, Ross, Fes: senden and Van Winkle—voted with the Democrats, the writer says: "All we kaow is that money was used to secure the acquittal of the President. We know that the President was acquitted. The Senators that contributed to that refuit may take upon themselves the responsi- bility of showing that none of the money Wwas paid to them. The verdict s tainted, and the men who made it must rémove the taint in their own time and way.” The republication qf such stuff as that serves hardly any purpose of general in- terest. There has never been any preof forthcoming that either Fessenden, Grimes or the other Republicans who voted for the acquittal in that famous case were influenced by money or by any motive ¢th;r thar a conceptizn of duty. Putiic cpinion kac long since ceased to asperse their patriotism, and It is ques- tionable whether it is fair at this late date to glubjllh agaln the old charge of bribery without making the slightest pretense either of proving the charge or remind- ing the reader that it was made under the stress of political excitement and par- tisan zeal. The contents throughout are of a simi- lar nature. Nothing is to be found in it of careful review and sober second thought. Even when writing of Dickens or Browning or some other notabie out- side the reglon of American politics the memoirs contain nothfng beyond an edi- torial or an article descriptive of a ban- quet or some such function, written for news of the day to be read next morn- ing. “Men and Memories: Personal Remin- iscences.

TUnder the title “Psychopathological Re- searches,” Dr. Boris 8idis has pubilshed under the patronage of the trustees of the Esychopathic Hospital, New York, 3 series of Investigations concerning thé in- terrelations of body and brain as exhib- ited in the development of criminal ten- dencles. The work Is designed for the study of specialists rather than the gen- eral reader and is written in technical language. The author states: “The first study of the series presents an investiga- tion of the main phenomena observed in dissoclative states of functional psycho- sis. An account Is given. of some of the methods of bringing about a synthesis of subconscious dissoclated systems. The study specially relates to psychomotor re- actions of subconscious systems." As a result of his studies the doctor as- gerts: “Psychologically, funcilional psy- chusis Is coextensive with the whole do- main of the subconecious. Physiologic aily, functlonal psychosis is correlated rot with organic neuron degeneration, but with functional disaggregation of whole systems of neurcn-aggregates. In functional psychosis the function appar- ently lost and destroyed is found to be yresent in the subcongcious—the loss of tunction is purely dissociative. The az- tivity s preserved and the system is 1eally unaffected; it is only dissociated from other functioning systems.” The studies include six distinct cases of degeneration and inciude carefu]l In- vestigatiors cf the various processes of dissociation and the developments of de- lusion and other abnormal mental and moral conditions.

Literary Notes. “The Inevitable,” by Philip Verrill Mig- hels, was written in London, where the author resided for several years. The story had its origin in a true tale of re- markable dramatic and tragic interest. The story is essentially American. The Blanche Bates edition of “Under Two Flags,” published by the H. M. Cald- well Company, Boston, is one of the most attractive gift books of the season. There are over forty illustrations in duograph from scenes of the play, reproduced by special permission of David Belasco and Miss Blanche Bates: also an autograph portrait of the actress In photogravure on Japan paper suitable for framing. President Kruger's Memoirs will be published by the Century Company the latter part of November. simultaneously with its appearance in England. Germany, Holland and France. A reader of the manuscript in the Century office says: “It fs a powerful defense of his entire political career—his defense of his repu- tation against the atfacks of his enemies— his apologia pro vita sua. And never has such a defense been conducted with more vigor. It reveals the old lion of the Transvaal at bay. In a clear, unvarnished style, abounding in quiet sarcasm and humor, he aims blows at his English an- tagonists which bave the force of a sledge hammer.” Edward H. Mitchell of San Francisco, the art publisher, has just brought out a new set of colored post cards showing views in New York. It may seem rather odd that a San Franciscan should be pub- lishing cards with New York scenes. but it is more readily understood when it is known that Mr. Mitchell and one other firm are the only two houses In the United States at present deing this class of work. ‘The present cards are quite attractive and include the following views: Union Bquare, City Hall, World and Times builjings, Bartholdi's statue of liberty, Columbia Coliege, Madison Square, Grant's tomb, Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Broadway west of pastoffice, Metropoli-+« tan Museum of Art and Brook!yn bridge.

It was good to writa Helen's Babies”—it 1s better to have written “The Tiger and the Insect,” for the new story is every whit equal to the old and will be fully as popular. In his depiction of the humor of childhood, the author retains ‘all his old charm. The “tiger” and the “Insect.” as the two lit- tle heroines are called. will win their way into thousands of hearts.
