ing be waa not a proper person to con
duct a saloon ana expressing the hop*
that council would not renew hie li
cense.
The cnee against the saloonlet was

Eleanor McCartney Lane. D. Appleton
ft Co.
This charming book is from the pen
of the same author who gave to the
reading public that equally delightful
story, "Nancy Stair." Ths book Is II
lustrated In an attraetlve way and
tells of a fascinating girl, the daugh-
ter of Ills Grace of Carfroo, with th#
scene laid In the time of the Stuarts,
and has for the hero the Duke of Lor-
ralne, who madly loves the heroine.
The humorous lines and dialogues are
clever and Interacting, nnd deal with
captivating aubjeets throughout the
book. The otory Is as light and aa
dainty aa could possibly be Imagined
and Just what one expects from such n
writer as Mrs. Lane. Many Southern
ers have had the pleasure of meeting
Mrs. Lane at Asheville, N. CL, where
■he goes during some portion of the
spring and summer and spende several
weeks at the Battery Park hotel. To
all she at onre Is rharmlng and at
tractive, and her conception of human
Ity, and life In general, Is always most
Interesting to her listeners and read
ers.
“Ths Incomplete Amorist.” By R
Nesblt. From Donbleday, Page ft Cn.
The heroine of thla bright story Is
Bolly Desmond, a very bonny and at
tractive English girl, who undertakes
to live a student's life lit Paris, and
goes to that bohemian city to reside
there without n chaperon. Her early
life had been one of extreme monotony,
apent In a quaint English village, and
ehe was constantly wishing for some
thing unusual to happen to give her a
taste of the outside world. She lived
with her step-father at the rectory In
the village, and she found little to
amuse her. Unconectously one day,
ehe wandered through the woods which
had been her favorite spot, and found
an artist, young and good-looking, who
asked to paint her Into his picture, and
tells her his name Is “Eustace Ver
non." She promises to meet him each
day gt this same place to complete ths
picture. After a while Vernon leaves
for Paris, and begins hla studies of
life there. Shortly afterwards Betty
goes to Paris and meets up with her
former sweetheart of the forest and
their love affair begins again. She
has many aerlous mcr* to decide In
her new life, and makes a few simple
mistakes which cause her some uneasi
ness. but at the right and proper lima,
ber high-minded and kind-hearted aunt
arrives on the scene,and with the rec
tor takee Betty Desmond back to ths
village. She leave* Vernon In Paris,
but he writes avich appealing letters
that Betty believes ho has done with
Incompleteness, nnd persuades hsr
aunt to return with her to Parts. .The
aunt. Mis* Julia Desmond, returns to
Paris, but It Is greatly ugalnst her will.
Of course, Betty thinks her sweetheart
Is pining and missing her and aha
visits hla studio expecting to find him
adoring her picture, but the scene when
she opened the door was far different
from her expectation. She softly closes
ths door and without his knowing of
her presence, returns to England, and
write* him a very curt refusal, and
Vernon never knows the reason why,
until sorni time afterward, when Betty
Is married to another men, he meets
and agk* JtiJla Desmond for the reason,
and he I* promptly Informed of all
fan*. Hs then asks a woman who
lovas him In hla Incompleteness, and
he Is made a better man from hla les

meet under a chain of circumstances
and begin their business Interests to

on unselfish devotion, which is the
strongest point of this story, and saves
the day for tbe book, which deal* of

"Thj Master Man.”—From the John
Lane Publishing Company.
This is the first book to appear anon
ymously In quite a long time, as au
thors are usually eager to become
known a* soon as possible. The scene
Is laid In Albemarle county, Virginia,
and near to that of the University of
Virginia, and Is evidently told by one
who Is born a Virginian, and thorough
ly capable of relating Virginia life. Dr.
McIntyre, the hero nt the book, le a
strong and Intellectual character, lend
ing his Influence and hla personality to
the entire story. This character sketch
carries with him many lessons In hu
man every day life, and haa a fine and
uplifting moral In duty, directness of
purpose and simplicity In purpose. The
story holds the attention to the end,
nnd carries a tenderness and an ap
pealing rhord to every heart. The
characters are: Marguerite, the doc
tors niece, and her sweetheart, Don
Haskell, and his father, the rector, and
hi* mother. Amos Neal and Nettle
Jones complete the story, strangely
simple and full of understanding Is this
book, and there are no exciting compli
cations which are to be found In all
others of thl* day. The author has
placed upon ths hook shelf a book
which appeals to the reader through
very different channels, and there Is
not a tense excitement and anxiety of
mind In the reading thereof.
■Jack Derringer.’’—By Basil Lub
bock. From E. P. Dutton A Co.
In Jock Derringer Is found an Eng
lishman of a brave and noble type.
The story runs along the lines of n
sailing ship, upon which Is a crew
composed of men of all nationalities.
The tale Is told of sea life as It really
Is, and none of the hardehlps and
struggles are forgotten. A small vein
of sentiment runs along toward the end
of the story and adds a touch of the
romantic to the situation.
"The Bishop of Cottontown.”—By
John Trotwood Moore. From John C.
Winston A Co.
This book te decidedly apropos of
the child labor bill which hae Just been
passed In Georgia, as It deals entirely
with the cotton mills of tho South, nnd
recltss the abuse* nnd evils of child
labor. Ths bishop Is portrayed as an
Influential and wealthy cltlien of his
particular province In Alabama, where
so many mills have been established,
and the time Is In the early eighties of
last century. A horse rare. In which
the bishop Is the winner, forms nn In
teresting featura of tbe book, and many
lines are written of pathos and humor.
A number of Illustrations are given
In the book, and the women who are
spoken of are very entertaining and at
tractive.

The writing nnd development ofthte

alary la from the pen of a smart Can

attractively done by Arthur Williams
Brown. Air. Stringer Is remarkably In
telligent In the portrayal of a hero,

ventor, who ha* become a party to a
daring wire-tapping coneplracy against
a pool room. Although the subject of
the novel may not be considered an
uplifting one. It Is conceded to be a
very timely and Interesting one, as It
I* known that pool room wire tappers
cleaned up 150,000 In New York on I he
day that thla book went to press. The
heroine Is Frances Chandler, an aria-
torratlr, high-bred English girl, who

’The Bln of George Warrener."— By
Marie Van Vorst. From the Alncmtl-
lan Company.
The world-wide public always re
members a story Ilk* unto thl* sin of
George Warrener, ae It Is n book of
modern society life with the aeene
laid In New Jersey. While we may not
consider our liking for the Warrener*,
■till we are forced to believe that such
people exist In every day life, and some
circumstance I* constSntly a reminder
that somewhere, In this universe, sueb
people do really occupy a place. The
woman of the book, Gertrude War
rener, was such as you may have as
your next door neighbor, a married
belle, who love* and demands admira
tion from mankind, and she meets Paul
McAllister, n man of hlrth and wealth,
who Is visiting his sister, Mra Bel
lamy. The usual thing happens, where
n woman ha* little to do, and Gertrude
Warrener begins to wish for fine
clothes, so that she may be among
those present at the social affairs given
by the 400 of thl* New Jersey town.
George Warrener commanded a very
small salary, ami the sin he commit
ted was for the sake of the silly wom
an whom he loved and worked for, and
who saw fit to deceive him by disloy
alty; »
•’Superseded."—A very light and
frothy tala told by May Sinclair, and
wo* written before the success of “The
Divine Fire.” It was printed In Eng
land first as "Two Sldea of a Ques
tion," but has appeared In America
tinder th* title of "Suparaedod." The
book Is- from the publishing house of
Henry Holt & Co,
In the September Ladles' Home Jour
nal there Is an article which Is certain
to prove most Interesting to all South
ern people. It Is a. sketch of the Con
federate museum, I Voted at Richmond,
Va.. with photographs Accompanying
the article. Miss Edith Carter Bever
idge ha* arranged this acceptable work,
which ha* marked her a* a very talent
ed young woman. The photographs
ore a reproduction of the exterior and
Interior of the museum. To one who
ha* never vl*lted thl* famous place ths
article is entertaining; nnd certainly
to one who has visited within It* walM
and been shown the relic* of the Con
federacy, the picture* and sketches are
very Instructive and are pointing out
the historic value of the museum. The
museum wa* once the mansion of th*
Confederate president, Jefferson Devi*,
and wa* built In 181$. In 1552 It wa*
bought by the city of Richmond for th*
u»e of the Confederate government,
and was occupied n* the executive
mansion until the night of April t,
1555, when President Davis and hi*
family left the place. On June $, 11*4,
It wa* given as the museum.

drunk to know how It all happened, ex
cept to know that Howard Juarrtar,
one of the governors of the club, knew
the farts which could clear him, hut
refused to mnke hla speech to ths gov.
crnlng board. Juarrier was engaged

Miss Ella Krels, of II Trinity avenu*.
haa well won th* laurel for being the
bravest, or at least one of the bravest,
woman in Atlanta—ai\d all fur the sake
of a trio of game chickens.
Her dauntless courage was shown
Friday afternoon. In consequence Jim
Tanks, a large nqgrn man, will be tried
Saturday afternoon by Judge Broyles.
Tanks Is accused of petty theft or
something of that nalurr. He was suc
cessful Friday In gtttlng away from
two policemen end E. J. Krels; after
being found “with the goods on him."
He was successful In rushing through
two store* and In passing th* police
men again, lie dodged two bullets,
but was not succrsslul In getting away
from Mis* Krels, who obtained a grip
on his coat and, after being dragged a
hundred feet landed the negro In the
hands of the law.
Alls* Krels Is in partnership with her
brother, R J. Krels. They own tho
cleaning and dying plant at 18 Trin
Ity avenue and when Miss Krels’ at
tention I* not taken up with customers
she Is feeding com to her game chick
ens, which sre the pride of her heart.
Friday afternoon was rather a slow
day so Mis* Krels found her way to
the back yard, bent on seeing her pet*.
She was first surprised, then amaxed
and finally enraged to find that the
quartet of game chickens had been re
duced to a soloist.
She then began to Investigate.
Jim Tanks, one of the driver* for the
Dabney Implement Company, 100 South
Forsyth, was at the time loading hla
wagon ot the rear of the hardware
store. The hark yard of the store ad
joins that of the cleaning establish
ment.
Mis* Krels made Inquiries and found
that Tanks hail one nt tha chickens.
Bhc asked where the others were. He
would not tell, so she called up Nn. 21
The police station was Informed to
rend some officers Immediately. Offl-
cars Dood and Kddlcman appeared on
the scene shortly.
Tanks war still busy with hi* wagon
when the officers appeared
Air. Krels, who had also been on th*
hunt for the chickens, took the officers
to a stable near th* back yard of the
cleaning establishment ar.d there the
missing chickens wera discovered with
their spurs tied together under a soap
box.
The officers left tha stable to arrrest
Tanks
Tsnks awoko to the fact that he was
spotted about this time and participat
ed In n wild chase. He dodged the po
lice and Mr. Krels nnd snot through
the Dabney store to Forsyth street.
Here he turned nnd entered the hard
ware store of William M. Spratlln. 94
South Forsyth, nml raced through until
he had again reached the opening in
the rear. The officers who bad surmis
ed the move, were waiting for him.
Again hi wus successful In dodging.
Two shots were fired. Th* negro tan
Into the cleaning establishment and
started through I he front room.
Here Mil a Krels came into acton.
Seeing the negro, sbe made a grab for
his coat.
Tanks could go no farther. Th* of
ficers then corns up and made th* ar
rest.
Allss Krels said Saturday:
"I knew the negro would g*t away It
I didn't stop him as he hat? passed th-
police, *■> 1 Just grabbed and hald < n
But there Is one thing I don’t like,” she
continued, “after we got tbe chickens
the policemen took them and have them
at th> station."
It I* understood from the police sta
tion that the chicken* will be return.-1
after they have borne wltne* at the
trial Saturday.

"The turn taken by the disturbance of public order since the be
ginning of the armed rebellion In'the province of linar del Rio. the fact
that a so-called American commission of i>eace I* working In thl* capital,
the fact that the executive haa lost, therefore, all authority, while the

and on the other hand my sincere wish that tho country recover It* nor
mal state of order, besides ths absolute Impossibility of my accepting the
only conditions proposed by said commission for the crating of th* rebel-
linn, cause me to decide irrevocably, and because I consider It patriotic
and dignified, to present to congress my resignation as president of the
Republic of i 'uba, to which I was elected by the rote of my countrymen.”
