LITERARY NOTES.
George Moore has written a drama
which promises to be the sensation o
the hour among those who think while
thoy rend. "Tho Bending of tho
Rough" will provoke ns much discus
sion as an Ibsen play, and thero are
not many of uh who are clever enough
to settle all the points nt Issue. It is
a brilliant piece of work, n. study of
llfo which contains the mystery of life.
It has Its beauty and poetry, nnd its
melancholy compromise with prose.
TIio mind is shown vlstns of color nnd
rhythm, but their hnimony is always
Just out of reach. Tho situations nro
as dlscordnnt ns those with which wo
conio In contact every day, nnd as dif
ficult to readjust without loss. Thero
is a peculiar charm In the character
of tho ineffectual hero, who has a ca
pacity for great work nnd the ambition
to achieve it, yet feels himself Impo
tent In tho end. His effort and his
failure havo both something of beauty
nnd one wonders nfter all which was
the best: whether tho success lay In
the failure, or the failure In tho sua
cess. It Is through this mixture of
qualities that Mr. Mooro shows him
self so consummate nn artist and so
keen an observer.
Miss Anno Holdsworth has taken up
a very serious subject in "Tho Valley3
of tho Great Shadow," as the name ln
dlontes, but phc treats it with a kind
of light tenderness which makes Its
sombrenrss fascinating. Tho scene is
laid at a watering place in tho German
Alps, and the Invalid life It describes
Is like nothing ro much ns certain parts
of "Ships that Pass in tho Night." It
shows, as even that romance did not,
the sacrifices that grow out of tho sit
uation and the sympathy that is awak
ened in the hnrdest of hearts. Sevcial
llttlo love stories grow up even in this
alien environment; and touched with
pathos no some of them are, they have
a delicacy and warmth which atono for
the sadness, In fact a peculiarity of
tlie book is that in spite of tho sombre
background and tho tragic situation,
thore le an atmosphere of cheer nnd
happlnesj which Is rarely found even
outside a resort for Invalids. The story
has the same sympathy and tenderness
which characterise Miss Harruden'fi
success and It promises to bo received
with the same enthusiasm.
Since the publication of Rnmona
threw a new light upon the character
of the Atr.erican Indian, ho hns secured
a definite place in tho admiration of
the pooplf. A novel which Miss Con
stance Goddard Du Bols has -ecently
written will do much to emohnslze his
occasional fine nobility. "A Soul In
Bronze" centers In the person lllty of
an Indian who with every advantage
of education and encouragement finds
that there Is after all no place for him
self In the economy of tnlngs. An alien
In one race, he returns to his tribe with
the ambltloa of uplifting and enrich
ing It, only to find that with his own
people also he Is an alien. Tho story of
his love for nn American girl and the
wonderful sacrifice he makes for her
happiness has a rare nobility. But his
exaltation is not without magnetism,
and one decs not lose Interest In the
man himself because of his loneliness.
The feature of McClure's for April
Is an account of the Interior of China,
especially with reference to its rich
promises as a market for America,
written by Mr. W. B. Parsons, chief
engineer of the American China De
velopment company, from observations
made on his own Journeys, and Illus
trated veiy fully from photographs
taken by him. In addition, the num
ber offer3, on tho more strictly literary
side, two excellent poems, a heroic
story of railroading and Indian right
ing on the Plains, a story of English
prison life, a love story having to do
with a Pacific coast "boom" anO an
Atlantic coast maiden, and a humor
ous story by Robert Barr of "a scien
tific miscalculation" that involves, es
pecially. England and America. Near
ly all of the articles and stories arc
fully illustrated.
It Is a peculiar kind of magnetism
that Robert Hlchens achieves In Tho
Slave, but it is one of which no one
can deny the almost tremulous fas
cination. If the reader gives himself
up to it, it carries him through the
book without pause or hesitation, It
is like tho effect of opium which dead
ens tho senre to things outside of It
self, and yet brings dreams and subtle
suggestions of witchery. The woman's
passion for Jewels seems abnormal In
the beginning of the book: but as one
follows it. It grows to seem real and
unescapable until at last it becomes
tho only real thing in the world. It
Is no small triumph to achieve this
result with so unusual and repellant
an emotion. The volume is handsome
ly published by H. S. Stone & Co.
Mr. II. C. C'hatfleld-Taylor has car
ried off the prize for which many have
been striving during the past few
months for tho best serial submitted to
the new magazine to be called The
Smart Set. Its title, "The Idle Born."
Indicates the nature of Its subject, but
the author has treated it seriously und
without the flippancy which many
writers consider essential In dealing
with high society. That he has suc
ceeded In giving the picture of this life.
however. The Smart Set's $1,000 reward
Is sufficient proof. A paper with such
a title, should certainly know when It
comes in contnet with tho real thing,
and In Mr. Chatfield-Taylor's epigrams
it recognizes the lightness nnd the deli
cate cleverness of society talk.
One of tho best things in the Ap.il
Success, Just Issued In handsomer form
than ever, Is the story of how Her
bert Harold Vreeland rose from the
position of an ice-holster along the

PROF. COLES FOB APRIL.
From Storms and Elgns.
All hall to April! She comes to us with
twenty-two (22) "HI&I1 Flood" days;
beating all past records, Her good for
tune will excite tho envy of the "Low
Ebb" vital forces: nnd mako Mercury
tho ruling planet for 1P00 more restless
and Impulsivo than ever before! Wc
bellove that he will demonstrate to us his
power of oyil doing and pour down up
on us destructive sleet and hailstorms;
causo much strlfo between Capital and
Labor; stimulate tho "nacc war" Into
blood-shedding; mako all Nature laugh
and weep weep and laugh, and Inflict
upon us fevers and Inflammatory dls
eases of an acuta nature. Mars, tho red
warrior, being behind tho Sun, out of
the earth's rar.ge, will have a great ten
dency to n-ake the month of April as
pleasant as the month of May. The ex
cess of "High Flocd" days in America
this month vill undoubtedly caubo great
destruction nnd trouble In tho "Old
World" and upon the seas.
Tho greatest danger periods from
storms this month will be between the
1st und 7th. tho Nil and llth, the 16th and
20th, and tho 2ind and 30th. Remember,
wo aro not yet out of tho reach of "bliz
zards" and snow blockades. If tho elec
trlcal currents contlnuo running from
tho cast much longer, tho greatest storm
of the season will sweep down upon us.
Tito after-glow of tho April showers will
bo something out of the ordinary. Tho
grandest planetary scono this month will
take place on Monday evening, tho 2nd
Inst., when the beautiful planet Venus
and tho young Moon will pass each other,
within one degree, A strange electrical
storm phenomenon will be liable to take
place in one of tho three mentioned
places following. New York, Pennsyl
vania, or New Jersey. Tho Southern
nnd Western states will be In danger of
destructive floods, cyclones and "bliz
zards." Do not be surprised If more
earthquake shocks nre felt along our sea
coasts this month and tidal waves show
their power to inundate tho land.
All men, who nro in business of any
kind, will please notice that "Good Fri
day" this year falls upon tho 13th of the
current month; and tho Planets being in
position to shed their evil lnfluenco upon
mankind tho same as In tho memorial
"Black Friday" days of tho past: we
warn all men with small capital to keep
their finnaclal ships at anchor on that
day! Tho planets aro also In position to
encourage disease microbes; such ns the
small pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc.
Watch out for a display of red lightning,
which wilt affect the eyes of both man
nnd beast, and perhaps cause an epidemic
of "red-oyo." As Earth is now in Sign
Libra tho Balance, nnd opposed by Sign
Aries tho nam, wo might as well pre
paro ourselves nt once to witness and to
hear of many strange occurrences. April,
In the main, will prove a good month for
prosperity In America, as tho "High
Flood" vital forces will rule by a big
majority. The "Low Ebb" vital forces
will rule tho Old World, and America
must guard well her foreign Interests
there.
Tho results of many years' extensive
astrological ret-earch hive shown us
conclusively that the planets not only
rulo over men. but over all tho various
things of earth, and experience has
taught us that the following dnys dur
ing the month of April aro unfortunate
days to begin any new operation or
start on a journey 7th, 10th, 16th, 20th
nnd 83th. Tho most fortunate days: 5th,
22d and 20th. April tho 30th, will bo
very unfavorable for nil things; persons
having surgical operations performed on
or within five days of above date seldom
lecover. The best day of the whole
month to fish will be the 23th; and the
next best days will be the 7th, lSth, 21th
or 2Gth. See our May Forecast for Pick
cral fishing. The 2nd, Uh, 7th, 14th, 16th,
20th and 23th. will be the best days, to
perform surglcnl operations: but beware
of the 0th, 10th, llth. 12th. 13th nnd 30th!

Wnll Street Review.
New York, March 31, Wall street was
treated to an agreeable turprlrn today
In an unexpected favorable bank state
ment. Themost snngulno preliminary es
timate of tho gain In cash by tho banks
for tho week on Interior currency move,
ment and the sub-treasury operations
did not exceed fS.BOO.fOO. The nctunl re
turn shows a gain of nearly J6.000.000. It
was some fear of this showing that
cnuscd yesterday's hesitation nnd un
easiness In tho stock market. Tho samo
feeling was perceptiblo to some extent In
tho early trading today but it gavo way
to the renewed buying demand, especial
ly for the Iron and sti-el stocks, nnd af
ter the publication of the bank statement
the sttergth became general and tho
market closed nctlvo ami strong at niib
stantinl net trains nil throuch the list.
The bars In sugars wero removed from
their panic of yesterday by th asser
tions of officials of the companies that
tho sugar was was still on. Rut profes
sional traders handled now short con
tracts In Sugar In a gingerly manner.
Tho stock dipped 4 points at the opening
hut did not get within more than n point
of an low as that again nnd rose at ono
tulmo a fraction above yesterday's high
level. Tho stock was very feverish nnd
erratic al day. People's Gas was strong
on reports of the nbsorptlon of the Og
den company nnd failed to yield on de
nials of that report. Total sales, 436,100
shares.
