Municipal Ownership In Great Britain, by
Professor Hugo Richard Meyer. 81.50. The
Macmlllan Company. New Tork City.
A most thoughtful study, by one of
the greatest llvlnpr authorities on the
subject at issue. At the same time. Pro
fessor Meyer takes an optimistic but
not "roseate view of the success of mu
nicipal ownership in Great Britain. He
shows in that country that the doctrime
that the public service industries
which use the public streets differ es
sentially from ordinary trading- and
manufacturing; ventures, and that they
should be subjected to special limita
tions and special taxation designed to
secure to the public at lars;e a snare
In their orotlts has permanently par
alyzed every public service industry to
which it has been applied.
In other words, the book shows that
individual private companies have been
taxed to death in supplying what Is
broadly known as public utilities, and
that nowhere In Great Britain has the
electric street railway been used for
the purpose of decentralizing- or "su
burbanissins:" the population of the
large cities.
Unlike Americans, the British are
so conservative that they decline . to
take the necessary risk. In Glasgow,
Professor Meyer says, the city corpo
ration has only used the electric street
railway for the purpose of putting;
money Into the city treasury and for
the purpose of magnifying- the office
of the municipal politician. This would
explain then, why so many British
capitalists, being unable to make sat
isfactory Investments in the opera
tions of the street-car lines In their
own country, are loaning- money for
similar enterprises over here. A caso
in point is that of the United Railways
Company, of Los Angeles, a portion of
its capital coming from Great Britain.
Here is a leaf out of the book under
review :
A company formed in Edinburgh in 1870 for
the. express: purpose of relieving- the conges
tion which then made the old town as un
healthy as It was picturesque, was ao baited,
taxed and thwarted by the very municipal
authorities whose action in the first place
had led to Its formation, that It abandoned
the attempt In despair, waited quietly for
the expiration of Its 21-year lease and then j
sold out to the city. In 10O4 the 4O5.0OO
people In Edinburgh, Lelth and Portobello had
only one mile of track for each 74O0 per
sons. At that time Boston had one mile of
track for each 2300 persons. Of the popula
tion of 317.000 In Edinburgh proper, the last
cnsu showed that 74.500 were. In official
language, "living in an overcrowded condi
tion." In Olasgow, which wan held up as a
model for Chicago until James Dalrymple, the
Scotch traffic expert, offended the American
city's pride by his frank criticisms, the con
ditions are even worse. There 285.000 persons
are overcrowded out of a total population of
710,000. Such a condition of affairs let largely
to be attributed to th city's refusal to ex
tend Ita municipal system' of street railways
into the suburbs, unless It could obtain per
petual franchises for the new lines.
Telephones and electric lights are some
thing of luxuries, but the failure of the
British municipalities either to build street
railways themselvea or to permit others to
(jo so has produced a congest Ion of the popu
lation which Is more serious than appears on
the surface. To the tourist the London han

from which they can study at leisure the
whole life of the city, are never-falling sources
of delight. To the workman neither Is of
much assistance In enabling him to escape
from the swarming alleys of the Hast End.
American Poem. 1776-1000, edited by Au
gustus Whit Long. The American Book
Company. New York City.
Intended to Berve In the hands of stu
dents, a useful collection of American
verse, with notes of explanation and In
terpretation, which shall illustrate the
growth, and spirit of American life as ex
pressed in Its literature. .Mr. Long, who
is preceptor in English at Princeton Uni
versity, has divided his field of study into
three periods the first beginning with
Freneau and Including the writers who
preceded Bryant: the middle period in
cluding not only the greater names Bry
ant. Emerson, Longfellow, Whittier, Poe,
Holmes and Lowell but many lesser
names that cluster about them; and the
later period, dealing with writers who are
for the most part still living. The volume
is remarkable for this one attraction It
combines poems rarely heretofore met
with In one volume, and with the selec
tions of each poet appears a condensed
yet Interesting sketch of the maker of
verse. The analytical notes at the end
of the volume are of great literary value.
The Fortune Hunter, by David Graham Phil
lips. Illustrated. 1.25. The Bobbs-Mer-rlu
Company, Indianapolis, Ind.
Carl Feuersteln, soldier of fortune, man
or the world, actor and deadbeat you are
without doubt one of the most amusing
rascals the hardened novel-reader knows
this season. You have in you the poetry
of Francois Villon and the ferocity of Bill
Sykes. Out of the strange combination
Mr. Phillips has evolved a, character that
is Intensely striking, and the result is
a novel that is something like & delicious
melodrama.
Mr. Phillips Is, chiefly remembered for
his masterful study of the money market,
as contained In "The Deluge," and his
forcible opinions in the muck-rake line
concerning the -United States Senate. He
is in a more enjoyable, lighter vein in
"The Fortune-Hunter" who is Carl
Feuersteln. The latter Is like a tall, shiny
hat. When first bought this hat is glossy
and beautiful, but when hard usage grips
It. one blow and it collapses. Feuersteln
is also like a soap-bubble for a second a

charming creation in the air, and the next
nothing. He Is painted in tho novel as
a man who married young women for
their money. One cannot but admire the
simplicity, sense and sentiment of Hilda
Braumer. daughter of a German who kept
a delicatessen in New York City, where
the locale of the story is.
Three paragraphs:
It doesn't do to let a woman Ree that you
care about her. The worse you treat the
women the better they like It. When they
used to tell my father about a woman being
crazy over a man he used to say: "What
sort of a scoundrel Is he?"
What laughter Is so gay as laughter at
nothing at all? Any one must laugh when
there Is something to laugh at. But to
laugh just because one must have an out
let for bubbling spirits there's the test of
happiness.
Feuersteln deadbeat went to his lodg
ings, put on all the clothes he could wear
without danger of attracting his landlady's
attention, filled his pockets and the crown
of his hat with small articles and fled to
Hoboken!
The Idlers, by Morley Roberts. 1.30. L.
C. Page A Co.. Boston, and the J. K. Gill
Company, Portland.
Just as a surgeon with his dreaded
lance cuts to the bone to reach the seat
of the disease, so does Morley Roberts
write in "The Idlers" to describe the
destroying cancer of a type of English
aristocratic society. Surely his mind peo
ple are not in the majority in what are
unfortunately known as the "upper"
classes of English society, else England
is swiftly going to her social doom as
Rome did.
Mr. Roberts' clever, satirical work in
"The Idlers" does for the drones of Lon
don's smart set what Mrs. Wharton has
done In "The House of Mirth" for Amer
ica's idle rich. Once started to read
this novel it Is impossible to lay it down
until one has reached the end. Its real
ism is so intense and there is no escap
ing its conclusions the arrow flies
straight to the mark. A book of ethical
force. It Is rather for mature men and
women than young persons. It tells its
lessons in letters of Are.
King Solomon must have known In his
time such a pariah as Renee Bucking
ham when he wrote: "Slothfulness cast-
eth Into a deep sleep; and an Idle soul
shall suffer hunger." Too many of the
men in "The Idlers use sulphurous lan
guage and coarse slang. They speak of
nothin". "playin , etc. Jack Hexiey
does not meet his Just reward. In tne
end, in marrying such a pure creature as
Cecilia Clarendon. There should be one
law of purity binding on men and women
alike. One curious gift Renee Bucking
ham had her ability to shed tears, as
moment's notice. Jack Bexloy s opin
ion of Renee: "He thought only or rte
nee's white arms as a man may think of
morphia or of drink or of some other
form of a d n. ... He did not envy
Ned Clarendon ruling a small empire
with two men and a boy and the toe of

The French Blood in America, by Luclan J.
Fosdlck. Illustrated. 82. Fleming H.
Kevell Company. New York City.
Since President Roosevelt became a
prominent figure in American life, no lit
tle attention has been given to the sub
ject of the Huguenots in America and
their descendants, especially the part the
race has had in the making of our Re
public. Yet, up to the present, no single
volume has appeared having for its ob
ject the true value of the Huguenot in
fluence as a ractor in American religious,
social and commercial life. Mr. Fosdick's
scholarly volume of 448 pages is the first
to fill the niche.
Unconsciously we are accustomed to
look on French biography as having
largely sprung from a Catholic source.
It is a notable experience to rcaa or me
same events from a Huguenot viewpoint.
Mr. Fosdick can be congratulated on hav
ing satisfactorily accomplished his diffi
cult task he writes with fairness and
without bitterness. He argues in this
manner: "The American Republic had
its beginnings under England; the hardy
adolescence of the colonies was passed
under the shadow of English political and
religious institutions. American liberties
grew out of Protestantism. The Hugue
not refugees helped to make England
Protestant and thus indirectly they helped
to make America free."
In reading this book, we are brought to
view the life work of such famous Hugue
nots and descendants of Huguenots as
Paul Revere, Richard Dana, James Bow
doin, General Francis Marlon, Gabriel
Manigault. Henry Laurens, John Jay,
Ellas Boudinot,- Alexander Hamilton a
Huguenot on his mother's side Stephen
Girard, Stephen Decatur, Admiral Du
pont. General John C. Fremont, General
John F. Reynolds, Admiral George Dewey
and Winfleld Scott Schley, and Presidents
Tyler, Garheld and Roosevelt. The pic
tures given of famous men and buildings
are admirable.
Luminous Bodies Here and Hereafter, by
Charles Hallock. SI. The Metaphysical
Publishing Co.. New York City.
No man can positively say in what
shape we shall appear in the life that is
to come, and indeed all philosophers and
theologians are not perfectly agreed as
to any future life.
However, Mr. Hallock is sure. He says
his book is an attempt to explain the
interrelation of the intellectual, celestial
and terrestial kingdoms, and of man to
his Maker. He is also of the opinion that
the body of the future life may be elec
trical, and states that this thought was
suggested to him by a wireless message
and after reading the flight of the angel

should Induce base scoffers to invest elec
tricity with far more respect than for

deep study.

Poems, by Colonel Henry Lynden Flash. The
Neale Publishing Co.. New York City.
With a temperament distinctly poetical,
Colonel Flash has been for many years a
great favorite with the Southern people.
A strenuous soldier of the Confederacy,
he was one of those who promptly rallied
to fight under the Stars and Stripes dur
ing the Spanish-American War. Many of
his verses have appeared in Southern
newspapers some in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, and his muse has met
with favor wherever it has .spread its
wings. The little book is sure to oe
warmly received by the Daughters and
Sons of the Confederacy. One of the best
poems In the collection is that addressed
to Stonewall Jackson. It has the real
martial ring and appreciation of a war
rior soul.

Sirocco, by Kenneth Brown, $1.50. Mitchell
Kennerley. New York City.
Sirocco is a Zcnda kingdom in North
Africa, where there lives a Sultan who
has a wise vizier and many wives and
captives. One of the latter was Del
mera Grahame, a pretty English girl
and how she was rescued from the Sul
tan of Sirocco's clutches by Duncan,
cn American trader and fighter, makes
up the warp and weft of the story.
The latter has an Ingenious plot, and
is spun with crisp, enjoyable humor.
There isn't, a dull page in the book
and it reminds one of the charm of the
"Arabian Nights."
Some Fancies in Verse, by Mary Pettus
Thomas. II. The Neale Publishing Co.,
New York City.
The fancies which surround us in the
dark and the bright days live again in
this little volume of verse 104 pages and
the story they tell is natural and melo
dious. The author writes verse that is
marked by delicacy and purity such as
one would expect to find within the' cov
ers of a high-class magazine. The humor
displayed in the poem "Going" is of the
daintiest Just like the bloom on a rose
leaf. '
