ELLEN
STONE,
o mis
sionary, Is hurt!
lit work on a
book which will
recount har ex
periences fro in
the time ot her
capture by the
bund of brigands
up to her release.
This bit of blog
niphy will be
published by Mc-
Olurc, Phillip & Co. , under the
title "Six Months Among Mace
donian Brigands." Miss Stone's
narrative emphasizes the fact that
the kidnapping , of herself nnd of
Mine. Tsllka was purely t political
move, and In no sense a private enter
prise. Although the missionary was
subjected to constant hardship and ex
posure to the elements, nnd was frank
ly told that she and her companion,
wouui oc Kineu ir capture by me Turns
Kcctncd Imminent, ' she philosophically
bears witness to the fact that she was
treated with all the consideration pos
sible under the circumstances, and that
her kidnappers were actuated by mo
tives of patriotism and not of self-Interest.
Their one object was to obtain
money to buy arms for the Macedonian
rau.se. Although Miss Stone and Mine.
Tsllka were compelled to travel twelve
hours or more a duy, underwent almost
Incredible hardships and were In con
stant expectation of death, the mission
ary returns unbroken In health and
spirit. Her book will probably appear
In the fall.
It Is just possible that the noble army
of novel reancrs Is growlrig a little
ied of the Huguenot rom.incc, hvo co
lonial romance, the homely lnirr.itlve
of quaint American character,
nnd all the other varieties that
have flourished so freely In recent
j'eais. At any rate, the notable
success achieved by Miss LilJenernntH's
Viking romance, "The Thrall of Leif
the Lucky," Is an ludicntion that a
story in an entirely new field Is likely
to be gratefully received. This period
1n history has been so fur neglected by
the seekers after promising material,
but It is quite possible that the popu
larity of "The Thrall" will bring on an
extensive line of Viking romances. It
will be difllcult, however, to come up
to the standard that Miss Liljencrantz
lias set, especially as she has the ad
vantage of u long lino of Norse ances
tors. This is her first book, yet the
first edition of 10,000 was gone and an
other of like size was necessary within
a month of publication.
In Conan Doyle's latest Sherlock
Holmes' story, the plot hinges upon the
mysterious doings of an enormous
hound made to resemble a demon by
dnubs of phosphorous luminous at
night. Where he got the idea nobody
knows, but in the Quarterly Review for
April, ISM, appears tills narrative of a
stronge apparition which disturbed the
quiet life of South Devon some forty
years ngo; possibly it supplied the
starting point for "The Hound of the
Baskervillcs":
"The scriio is bid at (lie liltlc (Milne i1Ijbo

lucl been a wild .ind snowy night in March; and
when morning broke the mow wus found to be
mirkrd Willi the footprints of a Ijirc animal
so utifjmlllar Hut the iwpulav mind nt onrc
assumed them to be suiicnutural. The uania
irrew npacc, people feared to leaie Ihelr hoii'-e
by night, and the ilcrsy fioni tlieir pulpits
found It necessary to all ly (heir alarm. Mean
time the talc tr.icdcd, and the cltiiim- Gileses
of the sjvanU did little but heighten the iiijk
tcry. Some (,'int blid, arIom anlm.iK espe
cially cats, were slid to be the authors by the
ingenious and uiibtlloiiifr. None, liowccer, of
the solution! pioed jutiafucloiy to cji'-witncsscs.
The footprints weic of the s.i?e of a ralf'i., .-nd
traccled in u stiaight Hue like a blped'h, and
behind them the enow nl times was ruffled .13
bj a tail. They appioaihcd ilo-e to high walls
nnd reappcaied again nt the Mine distance en
the other Me without disturbiut; the snow, a
feat iinpov,ible for a cat. Again, they tracon-ccl
culverts too low- to admit a large bird 01 beast.
In nitc of all effnts to disabuse it, the popular
mind settled down to the com Iff Ion that the
1M1 One had been abroid that night."
One of the books of the season which
has "caught on" is "Ited Saunders,"
a story of the plains by Henry Wallace
Phillips, the cowboy novelist. Phillips'
own biography, however, is more in
fresting than any novel. This is part
of It, told by himself:
"Horn in New York rlly. In early jouth gao

An address tlcllven-d before the stud
ents of Muhlenburg collego recently by
Colonel Thomas e. S5linmeiiiun, tho
ucennipl'shed editor of the Heading
Times, bus been prosorved In a handy
phamphlet fitted to the pocket. It la
entitled "The Wnystdo Wanderings nnd
neverles of n Wnlkcr," nnd Is a charm
ing appreciation of the Joys and lessons
of oilt-ijnor life.
Two ptinphlols certuln to Interest
those having to grapple with the man
agement of boys In numbers have, lately
come from tho tied Hlbbon press. They
tiro "Tho Ideal Boys' Club" and "A
BoV Club Log Book," both by Lincoln
12. Brown, supeilntendent of tho Boys'
Industrial ossoelntlon of Wllkcs-Barro.
They embody the fruits of much expe
rience In the successful handling of
Young America to tho lattcr's profit as
well us pleasure.
Somewhat Inte but no doubt none tho
loss Interesting comes Michael Davltt's
long-promised book, "The Boer Fight
for Freedom," Issued by the Funk &
Wngnalls company. There are 600
pages and a lot of pictures and maps.
There Is also a vivid exhibition of Da
vltt's power to use the English lan
guage picturesquely. Although tho
war seems to be on Its last legs, with
Tieaco possible at any moment, those
Interested In history and seeking for all
available light, will find this volume
of personal Impressions and recollec
tions of tho Boer character nnd leaders
a useful and Instructive as well as an
entertaining one.
It Is a far cry from the artist to tho
politician,, yet the average well-informed
man might bo surprised to
know that Gilbert Stuart, the famous
American painter, was Intimately con
nected with the origin of tho political
term "getrymnndcr." This Is how It
came about, according to that treas
ury of Interesting Information, "Har
per's Encyclopedia of United States
History." When Elbrldge Gerry was
elected Democratic! governor of Massa
chusetts In 1811, the fight was such a
bitter one that the Democrats eagerly
desired to keep the power gained with
such dlfilculty. To do this, they re
arranged the senatorial districts of the
stnte, dividing them arbitrarily and
solely for polltcal uses, without heed
ing In any manner the necessities and
comfort of residents. Tho signature of
Governor Gerry legalized the matter.
Naturally, this high-handed proceed
ing nas bitterly resented by the op
posing Federal faction. Amongst
others, tho veteran editor of the Bos
ton Centinel (then spelled with a "d"),
who had fought It vigorously, hung in
his office it map of Essex county, mark
ing in color the political nriangement
of towns. Gilbert Stuart, the eminent
painter, happening to examine tho
queerly marked map, observed that the
sequence of towns formed a sort of
monster In outline, and with a few
strokes of his pencil he completed the
repulsive design. "There," he said,
that will do for a salamander." "Sala
mander!" said Russell, bitterly. "Call
It Gerry-mander." And the term .ever
since has been used to designate the
partisan alteration of districts.

"The first number of The Manila Volcano, a

ANNOUNCEMENTS OF
THE RAILROADS
"THE HOCHAMBEATJ SPECIAL"
OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL
ROAD. Pcrsunnt to its usual custom, tho
United States government litis ag.Un
called upon the passenger department
of tho Pennsylvania railroad company
to arrange the speclul tour nnd truln
provided for the members of the offi
cial French mission tojhe unveiling of
the statue to Count de Rochambeau.
By reason of Its extensive resources,
Its excellent management, and Its ex
tended experience jln conducting tours
projected for the entertainment of the
distinguished guests of the nation, the
Pennsylvania railroad company Is es
pecially fitted to enrry out success
fully commissions of this character.
The signal success with which It con
ducted the recent tour of Prince Henry
of Prussia through tho United States
Is a striking example of Its ability to
handle special and Important matters
of transportation.
So, as In that instance, when It was
decided to tender to the French mission
nnd the Rochambeau and LaFayette
families a tour to Niagara Falls, West
Point, Newport, and Boston, the facili
ties and experience of the Pennsylvania
railroad were requisitioned.
The outlines of the trip were sub
mitted to the passenger department,
'and the rest was left in their hands
the selection of the train and the ar
rangement of the schedule; carriage
drives, trolley trips nil the details of
the tour were entrusted to their care.
The train which will convey the dis
tinguished party will be composed of
the newest and best equipment obtain
able. It will consist of a Pennsylvania
railroad standard engine, Pullman
composite baggage and parlor smoking
car, Pullman dining enr, four Pullman
compartment cars, and a Pullman ob
servation car. It will afford an excel
lent opportunity for the nation's for
eign guests to experience the comforts
and conveniences of railway travel in
Ameiica, for In no department have
greater strides been made since the
days of Rochambeau at Yorktown than
In that of transportation, which has,
perhaps, reached Its highest point of
development In the daily service on tho
Pennsylvania railroad. The sovereign
American on his travels between New
York and Chicago and New York and
Washington by this route Mill find on
the Pennsylvania Limited and the Con
gressional Limited all the splendid fea
tures which will mark the special train
of the French mission.
The "Rochambeau Special" will tra
verse the line of the Pennsylvania rail
road between Washington and Buffalo,
and between Buffalo and New York:
the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad between Buffalo and
Niagara Falls; the West Shore railroad
between Jersey City and West Point;
and the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad between New York
and Newport and Boston.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
has arranged for tho entire movement
nnd will have general charge of the
train over the whole loute.
Following out Its custom, the railroad
has Issued for the use of tho state de
partment and members of tho official
party a handsome Itinerary, containing
the programme of entertainment, the
personnel of the party, a short descrip
tion of the route, the Itlneinry, a map,
and cuts of the Rochambeau stutue, the
French war ship, "Gaulols," and other
points of Interest.

QUEER INDIAN NAMES.
Specimens Found on a Blackfoot
Reservation in Montana.
1'iom the Chicago Intet-Ocean,
The tenderfoot on nit Indian reserva
tion frequently finds himself on the
verge of hysterics when called upon to
go through a formal Introduction to a
lady bearing so extraordinary a name
as Abbl Skunk-Cap, or when he shakes
the hand of a copper-colored gentleman
mentioned by a mutual friend as
The Indian!) themselves see nothing
ludicrous In tho names they bear. They
are usually given because of some ln
cilent which hns happened In the life
cf the individual. Joe Skunk-Cap at
one period of his career wore a cap
made of the hide of the polecat. When
.Ills children begun to go to the mis
sion the sisters named them accord
ingly. Thus the little ones became
Abbie, Willie and Rudy Skunk-Cop.
As Skunk-Caps Intermarry with the
whites and go Into the world, it is prob
able they will wish their ancestors had
been more fastidious In the selection of
his furs.
