An Exceptional Case, By Itti Kinney
Reno. J. B. Lippincott Company, Phila
delphia. Paper, 50 cents. The author of
this work lives in Nashville, Tenn. The
Courier-Journal thus speaks of the story;
It is a notable contribution to the rapidly
growing literature of the south. The
•‘Exceptional Case” here presented is that
of two young lovers, deeply enamored of
each other, who agreed not to marry,
but to continue to love —to devote
their days, the one to his work, the
other to her art, and their even
ings to each other. In this way
they hoped to attain the ideal life, full of
that lofty sentiment that rendered the loves
of Michael Angelo and Victoria Colonna
their strength, not their weakness, their joy,
not their pain. This is a theme which must
be recognized as sufficiently different from
from that of the conventional love story.
To justify such an ending of a courtship
requires more than ordinary literary art,
hut the author has proved herself equal to
the task. It will be pretty generally ad
mitted that this a case altoge her except
ional, still it is a thoroughly w ritten story.
MAGAZINES.
Poet-Lore is always entertaining, and is
the only purely literary periodical in the
country. The ap; eal of this magazine to
literary people is unique and strong. It is
well edited, and its promises for the pre-ent
year are appetizing. Poet-Lore, 1002 Ches
nut street, Philadelphia.
Harper's Mar/azine for April has a most
interesting and instructive, but it is to be
hopsd not too timely, article on the French
army. It is by a soldier, and it is compe
tent and comprehensive, and burns with
ideas. There are good things in the num
ber, and not a few of them, to say nothing
of ex-Minister Phelps, who in several pages
to himself, appears to have said something
about the Bering Sea question. The fiction
in this number includes the continuation of
the serials by Charles Egbert Craddock a id
Thomas Hardy, and short stories by
Margaret Crosby and Angelina Teal. The
editorial departments, under the control of
George William Curtis, William Dean
Howells and Charles Dudley Warner, are,
as always, scholarly, entertaining and un
surpassed in the variety and appropriate
ness of the subjects presented for discus
sion. Harper Brothers, New York.
The April St. Nicholas opens with a de
lightful illustrated sketch by Mrs. Foote,
“The Gates on Grandfather’s Farm,” rem
iniscences of a New England Farm sug
gested bv the associations with its old gate
ways. Frank S. Woodruff describes some
“Busy Corners of the Orient,”and shows us
the primitive forms of industry in Syria.
The article i* illustrated by George Whar
ton Edwards. There is a peculiar sort of
fanciful story by Tudor Jenks, amusingly
illustrated by E. B. Bensell, and a story for
the little folks called “Charlie’s Shadows
and Their Shadow House,” by Mattie E.
Pettus, which is well fitted for reading
aloud. The verse is excellent. The frontis
piece is an engraving, by T. Johnson, from
Adriaen Hanneman’s beautiful portrait of a
child, and is a fitting introduction to this
beautifully illustrated number. The Cen
tury Company, Union Square, New York.
“The Brazen Android” is the curious title
of a story in two parts, by the late William
Douglas O’Connor, which has the place of
honor in the Atlantic for April. It is a
story of old London, and its ancient life is
wonderfully reconstructed by the vivid
imagination of the author. Francis Park
man’s second paper on “The Capture of
Loulsbourg by the New England Militia” is
marked by the skill and care which Mr.
Parkman devotes to everything which he
writes. One of the most important papers
in the number is “Prehistoric Man on the
Pacific Coast,” by Prof. George Frederick
Wright of OberliD, in whiou he gives us the
results of his investigations on the subject
of the “Nampa Image.” The Hon. 8. G
W. Benjamin, for some years United States
minister to Persia, has a timely considera
tion of “The Armenians aud the Porte.”
The number is not without excellent poetry.
Houghton-Miffliu Company, Boston.
As the first of a series of articles upon
ocean steamships there is in Scribner's for
April an article by John H. Gould, entitled,
“Ocean Passenger Travel.” With its ac
companying cuts it is possible for the
reader who has not already crossed the
ocean to become familiarly acquainted with
the workings of an ocean steamer. “A
Kangaroo Hunt” is picturesquely described
by B. Harrison. The Spanish pot, Marez
de Arco, is the subject of a sketch by
Rollo Ogden. “The Moaning of the
Dakota Outbreak” is an article in which
the recent Indian troubles are explained by
Herbert Welsh. Of all the serious contrib
utors, perhaps none proves more interest
ing than “What is Right Handedness?” by
Thomas Dwight, M. D., in which this pecul
iarity of mankind is termed an "instinct.”
The “Story of the Fresh Air Fund” is told
by Willard Parsons. Thu only short story
is a clever one, entitled “The Pnenix,” by
Bliss Perry. Charles Scribner’s Sons, Ne w
York.
No more completely illustrated copy of
the Cosmopolitan has ever gone out than
that for April. Miss Elizabeth Bislaud, al
ways a bright and attractive writer, is
fairly fascinating in her description of
dancing, the eldest of the arts, aud the il
lustrations charmingly interpret the article
itself. Tho executive mansion, the "White
House,” always an object of interest to
the people of the United States, aud one of
the first points to be visited by those who
goto Washington, is described by Mr.
Ueorge Grantham Bain, the Washington
correspondent, while the interior is illus
trated with many views taken specially for
The Cosmopolitan by permission of the
president. Perhaps the feature which will
appeal most strongly to literary people, is
Brander Matthews’ article on the Women
Writers of America. Mrs. Cruger, Amelia
Rives, and all the best known modern
writers, come in for a touch cf criticism.
The Nicaragua Canal is described and
illustrated by Harvey, and the Japanese
theater by Miss Scidmore. Cosmopolitan
Publishing Company, Madison Square, New
York.
A notable feature of the April Magazine
of American History is its timely frontis
piece, a picture of unusual interest at the
present hour. It is a copy of the famous
painting of “ Columbus at the Court of
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1891.
Ferdinand and Isabella,” and illustrates
with much force the beautiful “Ballad of
Columbus,” by S. H. M. Byers, written ex
pressly for this spirited periodical, which
always keeps in touch with present affairs.
The leading article, “The Chesapeake and
Lieut. Ludlow,” by Robert Ludlow Fowler,
brings to light some exceedingly interesting
unpublished letters a; out the naval engage
ments of the war of 1812, and presents
numerous valuable and uniaue illustrations.
“A Defense of Capt. John Smith,” takes the
reader into the beginnings of Virginia life,
and shows who was manifestly the soul
and energy of the initial plantation on the
James river. “A Bundle of Suggestive
Relics,” by Hon. Horatio King, presents a
curious exhibit of partisanship in the olden
time, and proves that there was quite as
much personal abuse between the two domi
nant p ilitical parties then as now. Maga
zine of American History, 713 Broadway,
New York.
The April Arena opens with a paper by
Prof. George W. Winterburn, M. D., of
N%w York, dealing with the future of phil
osophy. R. Mason Osgood, A. M., M. D.,
of New York, contributes an interesting
contribution on recent discoveries in “Hyp
notism.” Dr. Osgood is a member of tho
London So. iety for Psychical Research and
has given profound attention to the mar
velous powers of mind which during the
past few years have challenged the closest
attention of many of the greatest thin .ers
of the age. One of the most strik
ing features of this issue of
the Arena is Prof. Janies T.
Bixby’s contribution on “Buddhism in the
Tew Testament.” It is a reply to Dr. Felix
Oswald’s paper on the same subject, aud is
propably the ab’est presentation of the
Christian side of tnisproblem which has yet
appeared. Arthur Dudley Vinton con
tributes a thoughtful paper on “Morality
and Environment.” E. P. Powell, the well
known author of “Our Heredity from
God,” and other important scientific aud
literary works, writes on Alexander Hamil
ton as a popular leader. The Arena Pub
lishing Company, Pierce building, Copley
Square, Boston.
His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, dis
cusses in a masterly article, in the North
American Review for April, the subject of
“Wealth and its Responsibilities.” Ris
paper is the first of a series on that subject,
to be followed by contributions from the
Rt. Rev. Bishop Potter of New York, Hon.
Edward J. Phelps, late minister to the
Court of St. James, the Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, M. P., and others. Hon. J.
M. Rusk, the Secretary of Agriculture, in
an article—which is tho first of
a series by United States cabi
net officers treats the political
agitation in which the farmers of the
country have so actively engaged, and the
grounds of their discontent at the general
lowering in price of agricultural products
during recent years. Hydney Dillon, Presi
dent of the Union Pacifio railroad, says:
“Railways are not oppressive engines of
capital, and are not the enemies of labor,
but potent factors in the cause of western
civilization.” Under the head of “The Best
Sign of the Times,” Senor Emilio Castelar
considers the progress of democratic revolu
tion and evolution in Europe. North Ameri
can Review, No. 3 East Fourteenth street,
New York. ,
In the April number of the Forum, Rep
resentative R. Q. Mills of Texas makes a
critical analysis of the census, to show that
it is so seriously defective as to be useless.
In the same number of the Forum Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, who was the cham
pion of the election bill in the Senate, con
structs an argument to prove that the Re
publican party was untrue to its precedents
and to its principles, because the late con
gress adjourned without enacting the elec
tion bill. He argues that the series of great
historical achievements of the Republican
party suffered so serious a breach by this
inactivity that the party must find now
vigor to make its future in any way
worthy of its past. Other articles in this
number are: “A Study of the Problem of
Poverty in Great Cities,” by the Rev. Dr.
Raiusford of New York; an autobiograph
ical essay by Prof. Simon Newcomb, the
astronomer; an explanation of the feats of
so-called mind readers, by Prof. Charles
Gatchell of the University of Michigan,
who shows that “mind reading” is really
muscle reading; a comparison of railway
rates in the United States and in other
countries, to ascertain whether our rates are
really high. The Forum Publishing Com
pany, New York.
One of the most famous pictures of jho
world has been engraved by Mr. Cole for
the frontispiece of the April Century, the
Mona Lisa of Leonardo da Vinci. This is
in the Century's series of old masters, en
graved immediately from the originals in
the galleries of Europe. In the California
series Mr. Julius H. Pratt gives a graphic
description of the emigration to California
by way of Panama in ’49. Life in another
war prison at the north. Is described by a
confederate soldier, Dr. John A. Wyeth,
of New York city. He shows that “Cold
Cheer at Camp Morton,” Indianapolis, in
cluded hardships bordering on the
worst phases of cold aud hunger.
Mrs. Amelia Gere Mason’s papers on the
“Women of the French Salons” are sup
plemented in this number by an account of
the 1 ‘Salons of tha Revolution and Empire,”
in which she discusses such famous charac
ters as Mine. Roland aud Mme. de Stael, who
are prominent among the portraits of the
magazine in tha May Century. "Fetishism
in Congo La id” is an interesting contribu
tion to a great subject by Mr. E. J. Glave,
one of Stanley’s pioneer officers. The fic
tion of the number is very diversified, in
cluding anew ius.allment of Dr. Eggleston’s
“Faith Doctor;” a story. “There Were
Ninety and Nine,” by Richard Harding
Davis'; the conclusion of Hopkinson Smith’s
“Colonel Carter of Cartersville;” a timely
and novel story by Dr. Allan McLane Ham
ilton, entitled “Herr von Striempfell’s Ex

Maurice Thompson, the last of a series of
three short stories, “with a purpose,” by
this well-known writer. The Century Com

LONDON'S LATEST HERO.
TEE MAN V. HD RAISED $85,000,-
000 IN FOUR SHORT DAYS.
For the F.rat Time in England’s Els
tcry a Banker Becomes a Popular
Idol— feonora Heap ’d Upon the Mod
est Man Who Saved the Baring
Brothers end Averted a National
Cil amity.
From the Xew Yoric World
Loroos, March 13.—Theg-eatest man in
London to-day in the estimation of his
countrymen is neither a military hero, a
scion of royalty nor a popular idol in state
craft. He is a plain, every-day, typical
English banker. His name is Lidderdale,
and his position is that of governor of the
Bank of England.
The story of the financial difficulties of
the house of Baring Bros, is still fresh in
the public mind, but the full details of the
manner in which they and scores of other
minor firms involved in their success or
failure were saved from disaster were not
made known until yesterday, when Mr. Lid
derdale submitted the facts to the go :eral
court of the Bank of England. The attend
ance was very large, ana those present evi
dently had an inkling of what was coming,
for they greeted the entrance of the self
possessed banker with cheers, such as were
never heard before at a meeting of staid
financiers and proverbially suspicious stock
holders.
The story as tojd by Mr. Lidderdale, even
in the matter-of-fact language which he af
fected, is full of dramatic interest when one
considers the fabulous amount of mouey
and the number of people concerned in the
Baring trouble. After making the usual
formal preliminary, Mr. Lidderdale said:
“Before asking you to consider the ac
cou ts I think that the special circumstances
which have marked the past half year as an
exceptional oue in financial history call for
some notice on my part. So m ,ch, how
ever. has already Leen said and written
upon the subject that 1 need not ocoupy
you very long. You must all have learned
from the press that in the second week of
November it became known to the hank
that the great bouse of Baring were in diffi
culties. Fir an anuounoement that the
firm were embarrassed by their operations
in South America the governor would, to
some extent, have been prepared, but not
for the actne' facts. The situation was at
once recog a Ito be very grave, and to de
mand promp. and decided action on the part
of the directors. We had a reserve ample
for ordinary requirements, but not for the
demand certain to come upon the bank the
moment Messrs. Baring’s difficulties be
came known. Tho old and well-proved
remedy of raising the rate would not have
met the urgency of the case, as the con
dition of financial affairs in several countries
in Europe, as well as in the United States,
made it certain that gold to the required
extent could not be attiacted here except
slowly, and then only Dy rutes So high as to
involve much suffering to cur Own trading
and mercan ile community. It was there
fore decided to adopt exceptional' measures,
even at a considerable sacrifice tb the bank.
“In the course of a couple of days we se
cured, by a sale of exchequer b mde to the
State Bank of Russia, the sum of £1,560,00)
in gold, and obtained from Pans, as a loan,
by the prompt and liberal action of the Hank
of France, a further sum of £3,(100,000 as
an addition to our resources. Four days of
tha week were occupied in the preparation
and examination of a statement ot Messrs.
Baring’s position, and on Nov. 14 1 was en
abled to assure the heads of her majesty’s
government that there was good reason to
beheve, without committing myself to defi
nite figures, that the assets would yield a
substantial surplus over the liabilities, if
sufficient time were allowed for liquidation.
Without this belief i;i their full eventual
solvency nothing could have been done to
save the firm.
“When I tell vou that the liabilities of
Messrs. Baring Bros, were over £21,000,000
you will realize that the burden of carrying
over their difficulties was not to bo lightly
undertaken, even bv the Bauk of England,
and that the risk of doing so was more than
the bank was called upon to bear alone. It
wa6 necessary, therefore, to invoke the aid
and support of the financial community in
forming a guarantee fund to justify" the
bank in providing the money required. I
am glad to acknowledge the promptitude of
the response made [Cheers.] It was nearly
5 o’olock on the afternoon of Friday when
the guarantee list was opened and headod
with £1,000,000 by the Bank of England.
In half au hour the amount had reached
£3,250,000; by 11 o’clock next morning—
Saturday—it was £6,500,000, and at 12 I
was able to announce that the liabilities of
the firm would be duly met. [Cheers.]
“This, however, did not prevent large
further additions to tho guarantee fund,
which eventually reached £17,250,000, ren
dering it certain that, 6ven if thq liquida
tion proved disappointing, the loss to any
individual guarantor could hardly be seri
ous. You will no doubt wish to know how
the liquidation has proceeded, and I will
therefore give an outline of the account.
On Nov. 1 the liabilities stood at about
£21,000,000, tho assets, apparently, at about
£24,800,000. Since then numemus entries
have be,m made on both sides of the ac
count, additional drafts having come for
ward and remittances been received,
but on March 1 the liabilities to
the public had beou reduced to
£3,522,000. The debt to the bank, how
ever, had reached £6,650,000, making a
total of £10,172,000 still due. The assets in
bills and cash were on March 1 £849,800,
and tho debts due to the firm £3,304,000,
making a total of £4*213,000. To oover the
difference of nearly £6,000,000 t here wore
securities in hand to a considerably larger
extent. Of these the partner, 1 lands, houses
and private property represent over £I,OO ),-
000. and the securities, o' which t.o value
is readily ascertamablo, about £ 1,250,000.
The balunce co .gists of South American
securities, and tho-a ai e much more difficult
to estimate. Wherever there are quota
tions we have taxen tie very l>wost; in
other cases we have put on low prices, and I
can only say again, without commiting my
self to figures, that, although the market for.
South American securities Los seriously de
clined since Nov. 1, there is still, to all ap
pearances, a sulstantial surplus over tho
liabilities—a surplus, in my judgment, quite
sufficient to protect the guaran or,. [Cheers. ]
In illuitration of our estimate I may take
a singlo largo of an unissued
Uruguay 6 per cent, loan of £2,000,000.
This we have taken at 50, the quotation for
similar bonds now on the market being 55
to 57. The interest on this unissued loan
has been regularly paid, and, judging by
the desire shown by that government to
maintain their credit, will, we hope, con
tinue to be paid.
“I think you may have a reasonable hope
that the effort made by the bank to protect
the country from ihe consequences of that
failure will involve no loss either to tha Lank
or to those who assisted the bank in carry
ing the matter out.”
Mr. Botiy, in a brief speech, congratu
lated the governor on the action of the
bank, and observed that the country had
thus boon saved from a great disaster. He
had seen many rrise ia this country, but
they were as nothing to what would have
happened had not the Bark of England
stepped in as it did with that promptness
for which the proprietor ought to tie very
thankful. The corporation of the greatest
city in the world proposed to bestow the
freedom of the city upon the governor.
[Cheers.] This was a compliment which
was richly deserved, and they might all feel
it as a compliment to the bauk and to them
selves.
Others spoke in like strain and finally Mr.
Jones proposed a special vote of thanks to
the governor for his energy and skill In
averting a great disaster from the credit ot
the city. The motion was seconded aud
carried unanimously.
This brought Mr. Lidderdale to his feet a
second time.
"I have to return you my best thanks.’’
be said, “for the special honor you have
done me on this occasion, but I especially
a- tire always not to aeparate myself from
the body of my colleague*—[hear, hear]—in
regard to the conduct of the hank. The
bank ia not managed by the governor, but
bv the governor and the directors; and I
shall consider your special vote of thanks to
uiyself as passed o.i to those who are asso
ciated with me in the management of the
bank.” [Cheers].
Needless to add, after this noteworthy oc
currence ad the added honor of the “free
dom of the city," the hero of liCndon to-day
is the bankpr whose calm exterior has been
proven to cover a bushel of brains and auy
amount of courage.
RIDINQ A BUFFALO.
A Hunter’s Thrilling Adventure Near
Fort Wallace, Neb-
From the Chicago Tribune.
Loeter V'. Gndley, a North Platte (Neb.),
stockman, te'ls a story of a ride be once
took on the back of a buffalo near Fort
Wallace, Neb. Returning from a hunt
alone with the hindquarters of a couple of
young bulls he bad killed over his shoulders,
he accidentally ran into the herd again and
was surrounded before he realized his situa
tion.
“My dodging In and out almost caused a
stampede,” ho conti uod. “1 knew if a
panic took place among tho beasts 1 wonld
be trampled to death. 1 suddenly deter
mined on a bold stroke, and, edging up close
to a saggy young bull, grabbed hold of the
long hair on his fore shoulders and swung
myself on his bank.
“ I’he bellow that came from the fellow
made me wish that I had not decided on
such a risky push for liberty. The bellow
ing was taken up by the rest of the herd,
and soon we were flying along at a terrific
rate over gulches and up hill and down. I
whs blinded by the sand thrown by the
hoofs of tho beasts, but with my eyes closed
hung on like grim death. For half an hour
the herd kept up a terrific pace, and during
that time my legs were almost crushed out
of my hoots by the crowding animals.
“1 began to think my time had come. I
was so weak I oonld scarcely keep my seat,
and was about to let myself fall from the
back of my buffalo when I succeeded in
scraping some of the sand out of my eyes.
I discovered then that we were running
parallel with the railroad track, and as the
bank was high and steep the animals had
not ventured to climb toe incline.
“The beast I was riding was the closst to
the track, aud 1 knew if 1 reached the top of
the embankment 1 would be safe. 1 dragged
myself together the best I could aud prepared
for a spring. I got my feet on his back and
jumped for the embankment. I leaped at
the right time, for the movement of the
youug bull's body sent me flying half way
up the bank, and there I vas safe in the
sand. For five weeks afterward 1 was con
fined to my bed.”
