THE PHILADELPHIA IKQIJIPER SUNDAY -MOBNING, JULY 3, 1898 AMUSEMENTS THE MAGAZINES COMMENT ON NEW PUBLICATIONS A Life of David Dudley Field by Hi Brother, Henry M- Field Down in Delaware fedjgMA o- panied by a drawing made by Emperor William of "The Ironclad of the FHture." McClure's Magazine for July contains an account of the dally personal and official life of President McKinley since the beginning of the war crisis. It is Illustrated with war-time scenes in the White House and the departments, from life drawings, and with portraits from recent photograpiis of the men who are msraging the business of the war in Washington. Mr. Henry Norman, one of the editors of the London Daily Chronicle, who came to America to see how we demean ourselves under the stress of war, has a paper giving his observations and Impressions, and telliag what he thinks is likely to be the outcome of the war for us in our foreign relations. Anthony Hope's novel.

"Rupert of Hent-zau," is concluded. The number also contains short stories by W. A. Fraser, a new writer, and Octave Thanet. "The Military and Naval Glory of England," as he saw It exhibited while he was a special guest at the Queen's jubilee last year, is the subject of the second of General Miles' articles on "Military Europe." "The First Fight on Cuban Soil." since the beginning of "our war with Spain, is described by Mr.

Stephen Bonsai, who was himself an eye witness of the fight. r. Bonsai also took lue nbotogrppbs from which his article There is an illustrated arti WMmimm The paper of chief Interest in Lippin-cott's Magazine for July, one of the best papers that has appeared in this magazine for a long time, is a character study of John C. Calhoun, by Charles Cotesworth Pincknev. The complete novel is "Harold Bradlev.

-Plavwrieht." bv Edward S. Van Zile. The scene is in New York. "A Limit of Wealth," by Frank H- Sweet, deals with a returned Klondiker of mod- est views. Mary Agnes Tincker's "An Evening in Rome," Introduces the AbDe Bs t2l2 by Nathaniel Stephenson, is that of three young lawyers.

Under the heading, "A National Derelict," Fred Perry Powers sets forth the decadence and obstructive ness of Spain. William Ward Crane writes on "Names of War Ships." Anne Stuart ii -II i i I "An Old Virginia Resort," the Sweet Springs. Sundry hints on "Cheap Tramping in Switzerland," liable to be of value to the impecunious traveler, are given by Aivan F. Sanborn. A partial history of "The Wagner Cult" in America comes from Philip G.

Hubert, Jr. Lillie Barr Morgan writes pleasantly of her "Feathered Friends." Dr. Charles C. Abbott, the naturalist, praises "The Unlettered Learned." In Scribner's Magazine for July, war and echoes of war are the leading features. Richard Harding Davis describes the beginning of the present war, and no one is better qualified to bring to the theme those youthful emotions which glorify even ordinary doings.

The nation just now is making a national hero of every young fellow who shoots oft' a gun, ai.d in this mood Mr. Davis is just the man to the national need. Presently we shall want war and its conduct treated from another standpoint in order that we may learn how to make war and how not to make it. Then an enthusiast like Mr. Davis will be supplanted by the military critic, or wnom senator JL.oage, in "Story of the Revolution.

El- liott. for three years United States Con sul at Manila, writes about the Philippines, the climate, mode of life, the church and government. Captain Mahan (uow of the Naval Strategy Board at Washington) writes of the most popular naval hero of the Revolution, "John Paul Jones." This analysis of the qualities of a great naval commander, by the leading authority of the present day, is of timely interest.

A concluding paper in August will describe the great fight of the Bonhomme Richard and Serapis. "Undergraduate Life at Smith College," Is written by a recent graduate, Miss Alice Katharine Fallows, who shows by her attractive picture of the social life there that "college Is not a cloister to develop a race of nuns." The novel "house" system of dormitories is described, and the many amusements that give color to the college year. Walter Appleton Clark's series of pictures were sketched from life during a recent visit of some months at Smith. Mr. Wyckoflf depicts this month a Workingman's Sunday in Chicago, including attendance upon a fashionable church, luncheon with Socialists in a cheap restaurant, and a Sunday afternoon meeting of prominent Socialists, with an account of their arguments and their oratory.

Mr. Davis' "The King's Jackal" is concluded in this issue, and Mr. Page's "Red Uock" begins to show the Influence of some decent Northerners counteracting the carpet-baggers. The special feature of Harper's Magazine for July are: "The People aud Their Gov-, eminent," by Henry Loomis Nelson; "The Ethics of a Corrida," (head piece and twenty-two Illustrations from photographs) by Lucia Purdy; "Notes on Journalism." by George W.

GO NORTH, BALD-HEAD Some May Miss Finding Gold in tie Klondike, But All Will Grow Hair The experience of Jlhoderick Dhu Smith, who recently returned from the Klondike region with a big budget of ex perience, quite a little sum of money, ana a head of hair which almost Jiim to take an engagement as a Circassian girl in a-circus, is of especial interest Ito a large contingent of his fellow men arid women. For be it known that Rhod-erick, before making hir perilous way to the Arctic regions, though otherwise pleasing to look upon and still on the sun ay side of forty, was the owner ot a head which made theatre ushers, whenever there was a ballet on the program, escort him down to the front row without even kicuiciuk hi ins WMi.

bt idered an advantage by some it was not pleasing to Mr. Smith, who is an essentially modest man and averse to beins mad'a unduly prominent on any occasion. It is 6aid, too, that this baldness was the real cause of his starting out in search of old, since he spent all his patrimony in the purchase of hair restorers, and it was necessary for him to do something, no matter how desperate, to retrieve his fortunes. Be that as it may, he went to Alaska, and after a two years' residence there has returned a modern Samson, as far as chevelure is concerned, and he declares that the transformation is entirely due to the rigors of the climate in that quarter of the globe. "The intense cold kills all the germs and microbes," he asserts, "and stimulates the scalp, and nature does the rest," and he proudly exhibited his lion-like mane as proof of what nature can do when she takes a fancy, unassisted by washes or oils or unguents.

P. J. McLeod, who has spent twelve years in Alaska and the Northwest, although he has not the pleasure of knowing Mr. Smith personally, and did not, therefore, see the sprouting and the bourgeoning of his especial crop of modified epidermis cells, still corroborates his story as to the virtues of that clime as a hair producer. "My hair was always thick," he says, "so 1 cannot soeak from personal expe rience, but the way the dogs put on hair csution- thev eet as shacsv UP caution, tney gee as snaggy as Shetland pemes, and now I think oi it, I never saw a bald-headed fellow any- i il A it.

where around there. To tell the truth. they all look, after they have got to work, as though a razor and a pair of scissors were far more needed than a hair restorer, and a missionary barber, could do good work among them." G. H. Henderson, who has a claim on Dominion Creek and has been up in that vicinity for two years, heartily echoes Mr.

McLeod's statement. There is something about the intense cold, he asseverates, that makes the hair on man and beast flourish mightily. Dandruff and falling hair are unknown in that rart of the country, but he thinks that the fact that people are too bu3y to "bother with their "hair" has something to do with its unusual growth. "A man who is vain enough to put his time in trying to increase the thickness of his hair)" in this gentleman's decision, "will generally manage to worry off what little belongs to him naturally. He will scrub it and put fertilizer on it, and lay awake nights thinking about it until his head is as hot a a furnace and burns the roots of it to ashes, and end by getting up the shiniest kind of a bald head, but up there it is too cool to fool that and the hair gets a chance for its life." L.

S. Woodstock, an Alaskan of five years' standing, puts in his testimony in regard to the efficacy of good freezing weather as a hair rejuvenator or resur-rector, and another gentleman recently returned from the Arctic gold fields, who. not having "made his pile," as yet, ie averse to having his name in the papers, says he is seriously considering the practicability of establishing a hair sanitarium in some reasonably accessible spot, where he will, for a satisfactory consideration, entertain bald-headed guests and tell them pleasant little tales about Alaska, past, present and future, to amuse and interest them, and a hair taising ghost story occasionally for its practical effects, while upon their denuded craniums will aopear first the fuzz and then the fur, and then the sleek and glossy hair, the possession of which is the one gre-it desire of their existence.

single volume biography of 360 pages of David Dudley Field, written by his 1 HnTO ViA v. I r-l i Charles fccribner bons, 2ev 1 ork, is jus- titled by the position which David Dudley Field held at the New York bar. The i i biographer quotes some one not of nation- al reputation as saying that David Dudley -t- i ly the American bar. A leading figure Ue certainly was in the city of New York and in the country, but America has many legal, political and trade centres and each one of these centres possesses commanding figures of its own', so that reputations which are very great locally are apt to have their local limitations. David Dudley Field came more nearly to attaining national fame than many great State lawyers, because in the reconstruction period he was called into important national cases, but his most important work, the codification of the laws of Xew York, was, after ail, a State work, although not without its influence in the younger States, as Mr.

Field's work itself was the product of influences set in motion in other States and countries. Considered impartially and separately from outside conditions the codification of the laws of New York js not more important than the codification of the laws of Louisiana, although, of course, the French law has little bearing in other States. As the result of Mr. Field's labors it may be observed that the Penal Code was enacted in 1881, but that the civil and political codes advocated by him have not yet been adopted in New York. The biographer, speaking of the extent of Mr.

Fields' influence says: some of the other States, like Ohio and the Carolinas, adopted only the Code of Civil Procedure sixteen other States and Territories Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington adopted in substance both the civil and criminal codes of procedure. California, which State was represented on the Supreme Bench by Mr. Field's brother, adopted all three codes, civil, penal and political, as well as the codes of procedure, and Dakota and Montana also adopted Mr. Field's work. Subsequently the New York codes of procedure were adopted in substance in Great Britain and her colonies and in visiting India, Mr.

Field found his system practiced there. David Dudley Field was warmly received in England where his daughter had married, and his relations both in the country and abroad, in addition to his work as a reformer, gave him a commanding position probably little below that which is claimed for him. His political life was a brief one. He served at Mr. Tilden's request as a member of Congress which provided the means for the adjustment ot the memorable Hayes-TU-den dispute, and we are told that Mr.

Field, although he had been a Republican, looked upon the seating of President Hayes as a grave wrong, a singular view for one with legal training to take. Probably because the biographer is a layman the presentation of the evidence that David Dudley Field was a lawyer of the first rank seems unsatisfactory, but on the whole the biography is an interesting record of a most useful life and a pleasing presentation of a virile character. NEW NOVELS AND STORIES Max Pemberton's latest novel, "Kron-stadt" (D. Appleton New York) is chiefly remarkable for its successful utilization of the impression which the Russian fortress makes upon all beholders, and especially upon those who live in Its shadow. The experienced Russian officer laus suent when he comes within sight of Kronstadt.

Political intrigue, love and adventure all contribute their share to this romance, whose author Invariably shows Ingenuity in plot and sprightliness In the portrayal of people. Helen Choate Prince's novel. "At the Sign of the Silver Crescent." which is published by Houghton. Mifflin Boston, Is a leisurely story in the old fashion, so different from the 'swift tales of the rapid romancers who are so popular to-day. It opens at an inn In a picturesque section of France and it is concerned with the fortunes of a number of people, among the chief of whom is an American artist, a lovely girl, a converted Jew and a number of Protestants and Catholics, Including a parish priest, who is willing to do shady things in order to raise money with which to adorn his church.

As should be the case, virtue at last triumphs and vice Is discomfited. The bad Catholics are put down and the good Catholics prevail. This is all quite charming. A hammock, a summer afternoon and "At the Sign of the Silver Crescent" would make a pleasing combination. Herman T.

Koerner's "Beleaguered," published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, is a story of the Uplands of Baden in the seventeenth century. The story, w-hich deals with the invasion of Germany by Gustavus Adolphns and the war of plunder and rapine which ensued when the Germans were arrayed one against another and the soldier of fortune pillaged homes and outraged helpless women, centres upon the siege of Villugen and the final destruction of the Swedish army and their allies, which freed Western Germnny from the invaders. It is a tale of splendid courage and of individual heroism in which many millions of Americans have a racial Interest and in which the whole world of novel readers will find a hearty interest.

of "The Patriot" (The I niverslty Association. Association Building, Chicago), is devoted to James Otis, the I're-Re volution 1st. son he has taken a cottage down at South Atlantic, where he and Mrs. Reilly are enjoying life and making things agreeable for their friends, both in and out of the profession. -Reilly usually puts in two or more weeks at one of tne local theatres doing his crayon pictures of the Maine and sunrise on the sea, just to keep his band in, and I suppose he will inflict the same act on us again this season.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for bim to think up a new one during his sojourn, because his old act is not like wine. Bob Watt, formerly manager of the Standard Theatre, and a well-known playwright, dropped down on Thursday just to note the improvements and gather evidence for anotuer comedy. He tells me that he is bead over heels in work and that he has more requests for plays than he can possibly find time to write before the season opens. Bob was one of the heroes here two seasons ago, he having performed the herculean task of rescuing nine people who had gone too far out in tae billowy breakers. Although he was not rewarded by the city government for his brave and unselfish act, he was presented by a number of friends with a handsome token made of leather which he prizes very higuiy.

He is talking of- hieing himself oC to the country, away from the maddening throng, after he completes his mission here. Bob is one of the most prolific writers of fiction that Philadelphia can boast of and he has written a number of very successful plays ranging from farce to melodrama. O. K. Sato, the comic juggler, came within an ace of giving an undertaker a job last Sunday.

Sato can juggle successruiiy almost everything in the juggle line, but ne got tne idea into nis neaa tnat ne reded a-novelty for next season. So he gathered some large chunks of ocean water within his gay and frivolous exterior with the presumption that lie couid manipulate it as gracefully as if It were a nest of gilt balls. It was some little time before the guards had finished throwing him aro'ind on the beach that he realized that Old Neptune was his peer. It was a close call for Sato and he shies clear of the breakers every time be strolls along the beach now. 1 noticed William J.

Gilmore, the well-known manager.enjoying the balmy breezes on one of the piers the other evening. Mr. Gilmore Is a regular visitor during each season. He comes down shortly after the of the Auditorium's season aud remains for several weeks. He was.

well fileased at the outcome of last season and enthusiastic as to the prospects for next, when he assures me he will give the theatregoing public of the Quaker City nany surprises. He also expects the Rlnir stock comnsny at the Park Theatre to gather in a goodly share of patronage. Miss Blair will be surrounded by a strong array of players and the productions will be carefully William Blaisdell and his wife were among the strollers on the boardwalk on Friday evening. Blaisdell was the guest of some society people of Baltimore, in which city he is a great favorite. The local order of Elks gave their annual ball on Friday night on the new pier.

The affair was a financial and sociable success. The proceeds are to be used in defraying the expenses of the delegates to the next session of the Grand Lodge at Omaha. Ned Howson's band furnished the music. Little Egypt, the heroine of the Seely dinner, is here.

The People's Theatre undergoing ex News and Gossip of the Little Diamond State From Our Rreulax Correspondent. WILMINGTON, July 2. Gradually the Democratic party in this city and State has it wakened to the fact that the present talk of hnrmony in the Republican party in this State is not all talk, as it has been In the past, but that the leaders have determined to g2t together.

The move which was started some time ago with that object In view has grown until now it Is beginning to take definite shape, and 60 far as the city of Wilmington Is concerned, has been accomplished. This means that the Democratic party will be defeated In the coming campaign and nothing but absolute suicide on the part of the Republicans can prevent them from winning. "Within the past week the harmony movement has made rapid progress. Sussex county first made the start in the line of harmony, and it will be but a short time unti' there is but one Republican committee there. Kent county made a similar move, but the Republicans In the city of Wilmington did the first combining and did the most sensible thing which ould pos-slrly have been done.

In fact, they did exactly what was suggested a year ago, but the leaders could not see the wisdom of the suggestion at that time. The plan pursned to bring about harmony in Wilmington was as simple as could have been found. In the political division of the State Wilmington Is known as the first district and has a committee known as the First District Committee to manage the nftairs of the Republican party here. When the County Committee meets the First District Committee is also a part of the entire County Committee, but at other times it has its own secretary and chairman. This week it was decided that the Union Republican Committee and the Republican Committee 01 ims ciu combine.

The question of an combination then came up. The ifaders were of the opinion that there could not be too many political workers on the committee which has charge of political matters in this city, and so it to combine the two committees into one. Theame adopted was the City Republican Committee, a term which at once tells the objecMt of the committee. As each committee had its own officers the question then arose as to what tt line The officers of both committees at once, decided not to stand in the way harmony and all of them resigned so that fheff Places might be filled by -new men selected from the new committee.

"I have worked so hard." he ex plained in answer to my Query, "that I am completely done out. Sleep at night has been almost impossible, and I am glad that it is nearly ended." I don't wonder that he has been awake nights. I should be, too, if I had had the care and worry upon my mind that was necessitated by the many improvements which have been made at the pretty Empire. It is now a beautiful house, and those who visited it last season will doubtless be surprised when they enter it on Monday night, on the occasion of the formal opening for the season. It is handsomely and cozlly finished, and the addition of proscenium boxes and a great number of opera chairs for those who do not care for the "liquid" amusements but enjoy the stage performance.

Miss Francis must have invented a new style of song, and I am eager to see what an acrobatic song is like. Perhaps It is nothing more than the old-time couche, under a disguised name. Yet I hardly think that the singer has got to that stage of the game when she has to do the fascinating wiggle in order to keep the wolf from the door. But you never can tell what these vaude-villers will do.

After a long season with one of th? Quaker City stocks. Miss Grace Littell came down to enjoy the invigorating atmosphere of the shore for a brief vacation. She has not decided upon an engagement for next season, as it is not certain just what the policy of the Standard Theatre will be, but it is quite probable that it will be run by the management of the Girard Avenue. Theatre, and that stock productions will continue. Miss Littell is a pretty young woman, and she receives many letters from Infatuated admirers.

This sort of "mash note" business is not uncommon in stageland, but it is doubtful if a more heartrending one than the following, which Miss Littell received just as the season was closing, has ever been indited by a love-lorn youth. It was written on scented note Daner. and In a scrawling hand were the following bursts of warm passion: "Dear Miss Littell I have the prusher to write to you to let you no that your the prettyes woman that ever so ana can ture. 1 was up to see you in the play call ten nights ln the bar" room 1 thought you play it dnd.

The bet was two dollars a piece. I was kissing your picture wend I stop writing. And that all I have to say to you this time. Wishing you to come oacK next season your's a very Truly Stranger.

If that Isn't a case of "gone," then I miss my estimate.

The young man. accompaniea by the young woman, who is to become a wife next month, was standing close to the curbstone at the junction of the two avenues awaiting a Georgetown car. The two were chatting merrily. The girl was in high spirits, and ber laughter, the assonance of silvery bells, was pleasant music. Suddenly the young woman ceased her laughter, and looked, with a flash of wor-riment in her expression.

In the direction of a fine-lcoking and well-dressed man who was standing on the pavement, leaning slightly against an awning pole. Her escort, perceiving the sudden change in her manner and expression, also looked in the same direction. "Why does that man gaze at me so strangely?" said the girl. "He has been lookinz at me with that same intentness ever since we have been standing here, and sometimes naif smiling, too. i am sure I do not know him wUhhheraflushedewnh The young man an luuleu by his fiancee.

The man, with a big. out clear, graw eyes, was still regarding the girl with a deep Intentness of expression, a smile flickering at the corners of his strong mouth. He leaned easily against the awning pole and carried a heavy cane loosely in his left hand. The girl saw that her nance was becoming wrought up over the apparently persistent and flirtatious stare of the man. "Oh.

never mind." she said. "Probably he thinks he knows me. Perhaps, indeed, he has met me somewhere." "Nothing of the sort," was the reply. "Tne fellow is a masher, pure and simple. He needs a lessou." The object of the conversation kept his gaze r'veted upon the face of the young woman, even wnen tne latter nance ap- wlth clear gray eyes on, the right side of the face w'th a heavy 'open palm.

Washington Star. ON THE HORRORS OF WAR A Veteran's Vivid Recital for the Benefit of a New Recruit This really happened. It all occurred in an electric car on the Metropolitan Railroad between the corner of Fourteenth and streets and Dupont Circle. The listener aud the narrator of the following marrow-curdling conversation which he overheard was in the seat in front of the parties to the terrible affair. The man who did the talking is one of the most widely known men in Washington.

He has been noted for the enterprises he has and made both successful and unfortunate. The recipient of his recital was a young man whose style of wearing his hair and broad-brimmed slouch hat bespoke a Southerner. "This war makes me mad at the way it's carried on," said the peruetrator of is to follow. "It's a doegone shame to see such carryings on. Here we are going to war with a passel of boys, half fed, badly clother, and no account anyhow.

'Taint like the last war." "Were 3'ou in the last war?" inquired the other. "Was I in the last war? Well, I should say so. I went in when I wasn't quite 15 years old. I'll be 52 my next birthday." "Did you get hurt?" "Hurt!" There was a world of meaning in his inflection. Why, I had both arms and both legs shot through, three ribs broken, and my head mashed in.

Oh, that last war was a war sure enough, as he saw his friend's jaw drop in astonishment. "We had men in our company that could take a sixteen-shot gun cd shoot sixteen times in sixteen minutes and kill sixteen men. Ain't many of 'em anywhere that could do that now, "You must have had an exciting time," said" the victim feebly. "Exciting! Well, I should say so. I never shall forget Cold Harbor.

Our general wanted to get word to another general and called for a volunteer to go around a road that eighty cannon were playing rebel cannon balls into that road, and where they'd hit they'd dig a hole big enough to bury a mule in. I volunteered and away I went. I tell you it was a lively trip. The other man looked limp. "Did you get through all right?" "Yes, that time I did, and I got rein forcements for our general all right, too You see when I got on that road I just went out one of those holes those cannon balls had made into another, and kept out of range of the shower of shot that way.

I got a good deal of dirt in my eyes from the snots tearing up the road. but that didn signify anything. Going back to rejoin my company I walked a mile and a- half and stepped on a dead rna mar body every step. War? I tell The car by this time had reached Dupont Circle and the listener weakly got off.
