"What ara novels for? Are they for ser
mons? are they for problems in psychology?
are thev to be phonographs and mirrors of
life? ofwhat?
The question is one which recurs with
some frequency to the mind of the student
ef the modern novel. There was once a
tirae when novels were written for the light
and trilling purpose of aflording innocent
amusement. Bat that was long ago, it
Ecems. And some eminent critics assure us
that that was all loolisli and uron:. Novels
must be "earnest" and "true to life," and so
forth. If Dickens were to rewrite the "Pick
wick Papers" in this new era, Mr. Pickwick
would be troubled about his soul and vexed
ith doubts about the Atlianasian creed.
Mr. Howclls writes the preface to "The
House by the MedUr-Trec" This, he
thinks, i one of the master novels. "I can
praise Signor Vcrga's book without re
serve," he says, "as one of the most perfect
pieces of literature I know." AVe look with
tome curiosity and interest to see what man
ner of book this is The place is an Italian
iiriimg-town. The story is the good and
evil fortunes of the family who l.ved beside
the medlar-tree. The fortunes are chit flv
cviL The book is pro'oundly sad. "Be
cause life is mainly sad everywhere," says
Mr. Uowellb.
So much the more reason for merry
novels. Let us at least have fiction as a
dooref escape out of this sad reality. Must
all the world be hung with biack velvetand
silver embroideries, because people die?
Mast the clouds be painted over in dull
colors, because there are tears in people's
eyes?
It seems to me that the great mission of
the novel, in tnis over-busy lite which we
are living, is to entertain us, to take us tor
3 little while out of ourselves, to make a
quick and easy exit out of tins disordered
world, where life is forever being lived at
cross purposes, and give us the privilege ot
entrance into a better country where events
are more prosperously managed.
Life is in the minor kev in the Italv of
"The House by the Medlar-Tree." There is
smuggling and cheating, and injustice, and
fighting, and stabbing, and everything turns
out lor tiie worse. Nevertheless, here, as
Mr. Howells says, is a "masterpiece of the
finest realism." And for those who like
that sort of thing, here it is in its periec
lion. A hook in a box, wrapped in tissue paper
an "edition de luxe." It is bound in
white vellum, and the title, which is printed
in red and gold, is "The Soul of Pierre." It
is a translation made by the translator of
the memoirs of Marie ISashkirUeff.
Alter all this fine exterior the book
is disappointing. There are a good
Many pictures in it, and they are ab
surd and ill-done without exception. They
are by a Jr rcuch artist, and have, perhaps,
suffered in translation. At any rate, bad they
are. It is a pity to put these loolish pictures
inside these handsome vellum covers. The
story is as queer as its title. It is somewhat
on the faith-cure order, with transmigration
of souls added. The hero, on the eve of sui
cide, bequeaths his soul to a friend of his.
Thence orth. in the firm belief of the Iricnd,
the soul of Pierre dwells in his body. It is
not a particuiariv desirable sort of soul.
And, as the suicide was only attempted, but
not accomplished, the transfer had not any
basis of reality whatever. But Jacques does
cot know this. Pierre is picked up by
smugglers, and taken out of the world. In
the end he comes back, to marrv the right
Sir!, and to discomfit Jacques, and with
re3llv n new soul.
Another translation, thi3 time from the
Russian, "is the Blinu Musician." (Little,
Brown & Co.) the author, is introduced by
George Kennan who met him in the course
of Ins Siberian expedition. His name is
Korolenko. In a modern and civilized
country Korolenko would have been a liter
ary man ot great note that is easily seen by
one who reads this singular and attractive
slorv, which is here put in our hands. But
in Russia he has bufiered the fate which be
falls all thoughtful nieu or nearly all in
that semi-barbarous region, and has four
times been exiled to Siberia. He still lives,
however, and in this little book has written
what is worth reading. A study rather than
a story. A blind hero, and how his mind
and heart crew behind his vacant eyes.
Tender, pathetic, suggestive. The pub
lishers have done their share toward the
making of a charming book, inside and out.
in.
"We know at once what to expect when we
find that the author of "A Matter of Mill
ions" it Anna Katherine Green. Here is a
detective story. Our old friend Mr. Gryce
is still alive, though showing signs of age.
Twice he tails into the blunder of arresting
innocent people. The accomplished hero
ebu the lovely heroine fall in love at first
sight, after the manner of "The Leavenworth
Case" and its sequels. The situations are
Intensely dramatic, and the plot, as usual,
is in a most delighttuland seemincly inex
tricable tangle. You do not begin to sus
pect the real deceiver till the end. What
can you expect of a book which begins with
a conspiracy to get rid of everybody by the
name of Jenny Rogers? And which has
two heroes, each named Hamilton Degraw?
There is no end to the complications. The
hook ends atrociously with a funeral where
everybody expects a wedding. But in Miss
Green's novels as in the real life of which
Mr. lloucMs is so fond "nothing is cer

Even "The Anglomaniacs" ends in the

mance." (MacMillan & Co.) The wise
people who read first the title page, and then
the initial and the final sentences ot a novel,
aud, after these preliminary tests adventure
into the novel itself, will recognize a good
story here. Marion Crawford is the author.
And what has Crawford written which it
not worth even a threefold reading? He has
written a large number of books dnring
the last half-dozen years, but not one better
than this. From beginning to end, de
lightful. The scene laid in Munich, and in
the shop of a tobacconist. The hero, a Rus
sion, curiously insane, with intervals of
sanity. The heroine, a brave little girl, who
works beside him. The end, like a good
lairy story. The best book in all this bundle
of novels "is "A Cigarette Maker's Romance."
IV.
And yet here is "In the Valley." As
different from Mr. Crawford's book as the
Mohawk settlements in the days of the
French and the Indians were different from
Munich. But in its way, interesting, de
lightful. Everybody knows that, who has
followed the course of the story in the pages
of Scribner's Magazine. "In the Valley"
is a careful study of life in a day which has
not yet yielded" many harvests to fiction.
Mr. Frederick has spent much ot his life
amid the scenes which make the back
ground ol his book. Howard Pyle designs
the pictures.
"O Thou My Austria!" is the queer title
of Mrs.Wister's last translation. The adthor
is Ossip Schubin. Even at the end of the
book the meaning of the title is still a puz
zle. But that does not interfere with the
interest of the story. The plot opens with a
maiden and two lovers, and closes, of course,
with the maiden and one lover and the
right one. Tnere is a by-plot, too, with a
tragedy in it, which is not so pleasant.
One always looks for pleasant stories from
the pen of Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, and "The
Household of McNeill" is not an exception.
Of course the scene is laid in Scotland.
One can guess that from the title. The
novel has more of the tragic element than
is usual iu Mrs. Barr's stories. There is a
hasty and unfortunate marriage, and its
distressing sequel. However, all comes out
right at the last. The description of the
scenery of the Scotch Highlands, with their
heathery moors, and the salt breezes of the
sea blowiujr over them, are singularly
graphic and true. The author's point of
view is always wise and helpful. A good
book. "Brushes and Chisels" is thoroughly
Italian from the first chapter to the last.
The scene is in Rome, and the characters
are artists. The pages are full of artists'
studios, and paintings, and carvings, and
plans, and art talk. At the end there is a
duel. The book is charmingly bound.
"Her Great Ambition" has a strain of art
in it, too. An attractive book,well written,
with many bright things in it, a good plot
and a climax of the right kind. Anne
Richardson Earle is the author, and that
she may write another book as good is the
hope ot Tiie Critic.

BUILDING UP A ZOO.
Man in Scaife AVill Present a Herd of Mount
ain Deer to Sclienley Park Pitting the
Elcpliant With a How dull Preparing
the AVinter Ouarters.
Marvin Scaife, Esq., of the Scaife Foun
dry and Machine Company, yesterday sent
word to Chief Bigelow of his intention to
present to the city lor the Sclienley Park
zoological collection a herd of not less than
a dozen fine mountain deer. The deer are
at present located at a big farm in North
Dakota, but will be delivered here on Mr.
Bigelow's order. He thanked Mr. Scaife
for the gift, and requested that the deer be
kept where they are until next spring, as
they would require considerable attention
during the winter here, and there is no place
prepared for them. Mr. Bigelow says he
will have a plot of about two acres fenced m
at Schenley Park for the accommodation of
this valuable additional to the Zoo, and will
have them brought here as early as prac
ticable next spring.
The elephant for the Zoo, which has been
in New York lor a couple of weeks, has not
yet arrived here, but is expected daily. The
cause of the delay in his arrival has been
that the parties who are presenting him are
having made aud fitted to him au oriental
howhah, or car, in which the children are to
be carried around the park on the big fel
lows' back. New York is the only place
in this country where such equipages are
made and the presence of the animal is re
quired for fitting. When the elephant ar
rives he will be installed in special quarters
at the Fifth avenue market bouse, where
all the other animals have been transferred,
and then the collection will be opened for
public amusement.
Several more animals, including monkeys,
a bear and possibly a pair of tigers will be
added to the collection in a short time.

A SATURDAY SESSION.
The Supreme Court to Throw Pre
cedents to the Four Winds,
TESTERDAI'B BIG LOT OP WORK.
Arguments of Cases In Which the County
is Interested.
EEPOET IN THE EISEHBIKS CASE
The Supreme Court will to-day in
augurate an innovation. It will sit on Sat
urday, an unprecedented proceeding for that
august body. There is a desire to finish up
Allegheny county cases and end the term
and in order to do that Chief Justice Paxson
decided to hold court to-day, when the list
will be finished up.
The first argument yesterday was M. A.
Woodward versus Brace Brothers. The suit
is for the recovery of S600 as a master's fee in
the case where Brace Brothers applied for
an injunction to restrain the Knights of
Labor from carrying on a boycott against
their laundry.
The appeal of Philip Hamburger from
Common Pleas No. 2, next ou the list, is for
the recovery of a balance due on a book ac
count against George AV. Jones, deceased.
The amount is $2,141 33, and was allowed
in the court below on a special verdict, the
Court holding that Hamburger and Jones
were partners.
S. E. Johnson & Co., for use of "W. M.
Patrick vs the city of Allegheny and the
Shoe and Leather Bank, appeal from Com
mon Pleas No. 1, was argued by Kirk Q.
Bigham. This action was to recover the
amount due, according to the engineer's
estimate, upon a contract for the improve
ment of Howard street, Allegheny. The
amount involvod in $7,003 50.
APPEAL IN A LIBEL SUIT.
The appeal of Michael Conroy from Com
mon Pleas No. 1, was argued. This case is
one wherein Conroy brought suit against
the Pittsburg Times for libel, he having
been accused by that paper of conducting a
"dive." The suit was to recover $5,000
damages, and when called for trial in the
court below a non-suit was allowed, which
is the specification of error. The appellant
is represented by Thomas M. Marshall, Jr.,
and AVilliam Eeardon, Esq., while George
C. AVilson, George B. Gordon, Esq., and
L. H. Shannon appear for the appellee.
James M. Guffey's appeal from Common
Pleas No. 2 was argued by AV. F. McCook,
Esq. The case is an action brought to re
cover for the lease of laud for oil and gas
purposes. The articles of agreement stip
ulated that a well was to be sunk within six
months, and on failure to do so there was to
be a forfeiture of $231. The well was not
sunk and suit was brought to recover the
amount named and was allowed by court
below, hence the appeal.
The appeal of Mary I. Morton and E. J.
McLaughlin from Common Pleas No. 1
was taken up. The case is one wherein
Mrs. Morton contracted with Edward Mc
Laughlin to build two frame houses in the
Nineteenth ward. McLaughlin made an
agreement with Murphy & Diebold to fur
nish all the frame work. In the contract
between Mrs. Morton and McLaughlin it
was stipulated that McLaughlin was to
furnish Ht his own expense all the labor,
material and workmanship needed, and
when completed would deliver the houses
to Mrs. Morton free of all claims. Before
the houses were completed McLaughlin
failed without having paid Murphy &
Diebold, and they filed a lien for $2,367 Go'.
Mrs. Morton claims to have paid the full
amount of the contract except $000. The
court below allowed the claim of Murphy
& Diebold, hence the appeal.
SUIT OVER A KAILKOAD SWITCH.
James A. Chambers' appeal from the de
cree of Common Pleas No. 2 was argued by
John M. Kennedy, Esq. This suit grows
out of a railroad switch alleged to be on the
property ot Mr. Chambers in McKeesport.
On getting possession of the property, Mr.
Chambers ordered the Baltimore and Ohio
Company to remove the switch, which they
refused to do. Mr. Chambers then tore the
switch out and it was replaced by the com
pany, who claimed the right to place it
there by agreement with prior owners. The
railroad company then filed a suit in equity
to restrain Mr. Chambers from disturbing
the switch. The court below sustained the
report of the master, which sustained the
Baltimore and Ohio Company and the ap
peal was taken.
The appeal of Daniel Bitter and Henry
Berg from Quarter Sessions was the last ar
gument of the day. This case grows out of
the refusal of the last License Court to grant
the appellants a license to sell liquor iu
Verona on the sround that it was a prohibi
tory district. The Arguments are that the
borough of Verona is cut out of parts of
Peun and Plum townships, which were
originally prohibitory townships. The at
torney for the appellants deny that the
township is prohibitory, aud to settle the
question the appeal was taken.
The argument list for to-day is Beattv vs
Rankin ct ux, Bunting vs Hogsett (4),
Feity vs Calhoon, Commonwealth vs
Doughty ct al, Marshall vs llnll, Bradwell
vs Pittsburg and AVest End Railway Com
pany, Jiuks vs Banner Lodge No. 484,
Lockhart vs Craig Street Railway Comp.iny
et al, Pittsburg Junction Railroad Company
vs Allegheny Valley Railroad Company
et al.
EISENBE1S ELECTED.
The Keport of the Commissioner to AVhom
AVas Referred the Contest Is That Brin
ker AVas Defeated Numerous Irregu
larities in the Election.
O. D. Thompson, Esq., yesterday filed bis
report as commissioner iu the contest of the
election of AVilliam F. Eisenbeis as alder
man of the Twelfth ward, Allegheny. The
contest was made by AV. J. Brinker, the
former alderman of the ward, who was de
feated by Essenbeis at the spring election.
It was alleged by Brinker that the election
board of the first district of the ward was
not properly formed; that ballots were
destroyed by them; that all the ballots cast
were not deposited in the box by the in
spector, and that illegal votes were re
ceived. Brinker claimed to be legally
elected.
The Commissioner in his report states that
he finds that Eisenbeis' majority over
Brinker was 5. He also found that the
election board of the First district was not
properly formed, and Brinker had good
cause for a contest. The board, he said,
allowed 33 persons not registered to vote
without proper vouchers, and of the whole
53 vouchers filed not one was signed by the
Judge before whom the affidavit was alleged
to have been made. Two persons voted who
were not citizens and a number who had not
paid taxes. Yet, the Commissioner said, in
the face of the apparent irregularities and
errors of the board of the First district, he
was compelled, on account of the legal
questions raised bv the case in connection
with the evidence before him, to
pass the said irregularities without
drawing conclusions as to what effect they
would have on the returns as made by the
board. The contestant's petition was de
fective in not containing the number of
signers required by the act of Assembly
who voted for the contestant to wit, 25.
There were 27 names on the petition, but
three of them had not paid taxes and were
not entitled to vote, and three more had not
voted for the contestant and were not proper
signers. For this reason the Commissioner
recommended that the contest be dismissed
and the costs paid by Allegheny City.
The costs amounted in all to '$782 10. The
report was approved by the Court.
Suit Against a Gas Company.
Mifflin township yesterday eutered suit
THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATUHDAT, NOVEMBER
against the Carnegie Natural Gas Company;
for $5,000. It was stated that the gas company

to repair them and sued the gas company
for damages.

BIG DEAL WITH BRITISHERS.
PACKERS SCHEMING TO SELL OUT TO AN
ENGLISH SYNDICATE.
Meeting in Chicago Negotiations for the
Sale AVoi king in Secret Armour Not in
It One Concern to bo Managed by Amer
icans. Chicago, November 7. There was a
meeting of Chicago beef packers to-day. The
meeting was a private one called to discuss
the details of a scheme which has been kept
caiefully from the knowledge ot the public.
The scheme is to form a combination of
packers to sell out to a syndicate of English
capitalists. After the meeting had ad
journed Mr. Adams 6aid to a renorter:
"It is true that negotiations lor the sale of
Chicago packing houses to a syndicate of
Englishmen have been in progress lor some
tirae. It is true also that a, deal has been
practically consummated, but I cannot give
the particulars just now, but I will say this
much about it: The packing houses will be
combined into practically one big concern
and will probably form the largest
packing interest in the world. The
business will be run with English capital
aud the loreign purchasers will invest

Black.
White.
AVhite wins.
The position given above illustrates the Im
portance of gaining the opposition, and the ne
cessity ot sacrificing the passed pawn for that
purpose. After the sacrifice, white wins the
black pawn under the rule of limit, and the
game under one of the rules for a king and a
pawn against a king. The limits of a pawn are
the three squares to its right aud left. In the
position shown on tho diagram, the limits of
tho black pawn aro K 3. Q, 3. Q, R 3 and K R a
If the adverse king can he kept off these
squares tho limits of the pawn aro guarded,
and the game is drawn. Tho rule applies to
the case of a king and a pawn against a king
and a pawn, and enables a player to determine
whether he can win the adverse pawn, hut not
whether be can win the game. The latter de
pends on some one of tho rules for a king and a
pawn against a king.
Two united pawns against a single pawn di
rectly in front of the least advanced pawn is an
unfavorable position for the neaker party. A
drawn game n probable only when the Bingle
pawn is at R 2. R 3 or R 6. with the united
pawns on tho rook's and knight's files; at Kt
5 or Kt G, with the united pawns on tbe
rook's and knight's files; at Kt 2 or Kt 6,
with the united piwns on the knight's and
bishop's files: at B 5 or B 6, with the united
pawns on the knight's and bishop's files. In briet
a draw is probable only when one of ihe united
pawns is on a knight's tile; when they are be
tween the knight's riles there is no probability
of a drawn game.
When tbe ingle pawn is on its third rank and
on one of the three sales riles with tbe passed
pawn between it and one of the central riles, as
iu the diagram, white cannot gain tiie opposi
tion and win without sacrificing his pjssed
pawn. If tbe single pawn is at R 3, the game
is drawn, as the sacrifice in this case is of no
avail.

departs from tbe usual line of play. The
noticeable featnre in his game is its precision
and accuracy. Black ha-, from the nature of
his defense, a cramped, difficult and embarrass
ing game. Ho would, perhaps, havo done bet
ter to exchange pieces early in the game, and
ho loses tho exchange by an oversight or mis
calculation. Calvi says that he often heard
Labouidonnais reproach Boncnurt forshutting
up his king's bishop with P Q 3. to which the
latter replied Unit he would soon bring It into
play; which really happened when he played
with those who knew little about the game.

CHECKER GOSSIP.
Mr. Maize. Irom McDonald, Pa.was in the
city from Saturday to AVednesday afternoon,
and played with most of the noteworthy play
ers. Boyle, Mulholland. Tracy.Patterson. Jones,
Lucere, and a great many others. Mr. Maize
shows to all of ns that we are far from being
masters; that wo have much to learn. Bnt it is
playing with a master such as Maize i3 that wa
learn something, and we hope that his visits
will be frequent and that all tbe players will take
advantage of contestf ng a few gameswlth him,
If for no other purpose than to showns bow
weak we are. Itis not from playing those wo
can defeat we learn, but from those who can
defeat us.
Tbe scrub championship match which Is
going on at 97 Seventh avenue, between Kis
sock and Rnsoll, Is at present a tie. Kissock
14, Russell 14 and 12 games drawn, with ten
games to play. It is hard to predict at this
writing bo ill win, as both seem determined.
Mr. Matthews will present the winner with a
tropny.
At last Mr. George, of AVilkinsbure, and Mr.
Lucere, of this city, have got together to play
their match of 28 games. Their first sitting
took place at 903 Penn avenue, on Monday
evening last, when six games were played with
this result: George three games von, Lucere
one won and two games drawn. Their next
sitting will be at the Home hotel this evening.
Mr. Lucere is going to make a strong effort to
regain the ground he has lost. We may ex
pect to see some real checker playing.
All Republican checker players who lost on
tho results of the State election, bad not
studied the move. The Democrats had the
move through the Independents, and they won.
Tbe great lesson throughout the game is study
to have the move, and, in nine times out of ten
you will.
Mr. Lucere played John Thomson, the blind
checker player, at the World's Museum on
Saturday, Nove.nber 1, six games, with the fol
lowing score: Lucere. 3 games won. Thomson,
1; drawn, 2.
Any person when in the vicinity of Thirty

A CHANGE IK THE PEOGEAMME.
Dog Poisoners Vary Their Performance ATIth
Shotgun Accessories.
The dog poisoner or poisoners of the Mon
tour oil field varied their programme Thurs
day night. Two shots were fired at the
house of a man named Porter, who lives
within a few hundred feet of Eiing's mill.
The second crashed through a window, and
the shot rattled generally over
the furniture. This, Mr. Portor thought,
was rubbing it in, and be got bis shot gun
also. His assailant bad the advantage of
darkness, however, and he could not get a
bead on them.
It is supposed by tbe Porter's family that
the shooter was trying to kill their do;,

THE ONLY SPECIALISTS!
The cae3 or catarrh and dyspepsia treated
and cured bv the phjsiciansof the Catarrh ana
Dyspepsia Iustitute at 323 Penn avenuo are
usually those of the most advanced stages, and
who have spent vear of tune and iu many In
stances vast sums of money tre-iting with
doctors and receiving no benefit until by some
friend, or in rcdi:!g the papers, tbey learn of
the Catarrh and Dypepsi i Inntitute. and that
others have been cured of diseases similar to
their own.
Have you been reading the cures that have
been published in Tourdaiit paper for the past
two years? Have vou called ou theso patients,
whoso address is always given, to satisfy your
self that tlieo pcoplo really have been cured
whoso testimonials havo been published from
day to da? If not. do so. Investigate what
these physicians are capable of doing, and then
call ou thorn and tbey will frankly tell you whit
they can At for you.
Do you know why they invite sharp criticism
on their workT It is because they know what
dUeaes they can cure, and have no other way
t absolutely prove their success than by re
ferrin" vou to the hundreds whom they have
cured." "Remember. thee physicians are the
only specialists in Pittsburg in thctruo senseof
the term for tho treatment and cure of catarrh
and dyspepsia.
They have received an endless amount of
opposition from doctors, who aro jealous of
tbe immense practice thev have acquired dur
ing the past two years. However, they have
located in Pittsburg for life, and will continue
to treat the diseases of their specialty. Tbe
crowds of intelligent people who dally assem
ble at the parlors of this medical institution
also prove she reputation of its physicians in
curing disease.

Jllss Ma'-ie Jones is a granddaughter ot
Mr3. Perry and makes her home with tha;
relative at corner of Ann and Moultrie streets.
The remarkable success Dr. Byers had In
treating the latter for catarrh and nasal
polypii three years ago (sbo still remaining
well, although far advanced in jears). induced
her to send her grandd-iuzbter to him. Misj
Jones' trouble was confined to her head and
stnniacli. Pain over the eye-s rinsing m tlio
ears, nostrils stopped up. tint one side, then
the other, constant headache and dizziness and
always hawkinc and sputing. bhebada bad
taste every morniuir, coated tonirne and Ui
taste for food. What little sho did eat fen
inented iu the stomach, causing a bloated feel,
inc. with palpitation of the heart and nftins
Ufi of sour matter. In this condition she was
losing flesh and strength rapidly, and it was
nnly a question of a short time nhenshe would
have been beyond help.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
Avoid all doctors who ativzrtise "medicina
free," for this is only a bait thrown out to draw
you into their office. Once there, you are told,
that your treatment will cost so much, bus
luedicines are furnished free. Dr. Bvers does
just as he advertises, furnishes both treatment
and medicine for E5 a month, and it is because)
of bis always keeping faith with the public that
his practice is constantly increasing. October
shows the largest month'" business he has ever
done, and he has over 300 patients under treat,
ment for catarrh alone at the present time,
