12 THE BOOK TABLE. NOTES OF SOME BOOKS OF THE DAY. Trimalchio's Dinner American Woman's Proof or the Value' of Evidence' is a novel from, the pen of R. O. Holengin, author of "An Artist in Crime." Press of G.

P. Putnam's Sons, New York; 50 cents. It is a powerfully dramatic story. It is one of the Hud- Bon Library series, published monthly. "Two Women Who Posed" is a novel by Facilis.

Press of J. S. Ogilvie Publishing Company, New York. It treats of the trials of models and artists of Bohemia of New York, and its peculiar people. It is a frank story, but not unclean, though not intellectually very attractive.

"Imperial America, the Policy of National Expansion" is by William C. Le- Vere, and is published by Forbes Chicago. It is an argument in favor of American expansion, or, as the author puts it, "American imperialism." He believes it is the destiny of this country, and that having put our hand to the plow we should not look backward. It is reasoned out in the nature of an allegory. From Wm.

Doxey, publisher, San Francisco, we have "The Purple Cow," one of those quaint art creations in caricature and wild fancy which frequently comes from Doxey's prolific press. It is a collection of rhyme and the most grotesque illustrations, after the order of the popular "Lark Book" series. There are eighteen of the humorous rhyming sketches in the little volume. "Trimalchio's Dinner, by Petronius," is by Harry Thurston Peck. Press of Dodd, Mead New York.

A neat volume, illustrated handsomely. Clearly the production of this clever book was suggested by "Quo Va.dis." Petronius was the elegant gentleman and polished epicure, whose vices, virtues and splendid chivalry are so graphically recited in "Quo Vadis." It is announced as having been translated from the Latin of Petronius arbiter. While Mr. Peck has in this graphic is free from the horrors of Roman tryanny as related in "Quo terms strangely modern, expletives especially, the apology is made, and justifiably, that this is necessary because no other than slang phrases can be found in our tongue to express the full meaning of translated idioms and Latin colloquialisms of a certain class. The book is in three parts, of introduction, the recital of the story of Trimalchio's dinner and a bibliographical index, besides an index to the introduction and a pungent preface.

Mr. Peck says his translation is based principally upon the Latin text as edited by Bucheler (Berlin, 1K95), but he used also for reference Friedlander's text (Leipzig and some early variorum editions. The volume takes us into the heart of the thought and life of the Romans of wealth and luxury. It is a graphic picture, indeed, of some curious phases of Roman private life under the Empire. It is to be noted that the "introduction" is of special value, as it treats of prose fiction in Greece and Rome, the novel of Petronius and the Cena of Trimalchionis.

"Maids, Wives and Bachelors" is an octavo volume of essays by the talented writer and novelist Amelia E. Barr. There are thirty-five short essays in the book, all relating to home and society, duty and obligation, relation of the sexes, on love, marriage, singleness, domestic economics, fashions and conventionalities. They are crisp, frank, and, so far as we have read into the volume, they are philosophically and practically sound. Press of Dodd, Mead New York.

"Gloria Victis" is by J. A. Mitchel. editor of "Life," author of "Amos Judd" and "That Ford Affair." Press of Charles Seribner's Sons, New York. It is a society novel, strong, realistic, vivid in recital and artistic in character drawing and full of human interest, though some of the people moving in the story are very humble folk.

"The Minister of State" is a novel by John A. Steuart, author of "In the Day of Battle," "Kilgroom." etc. Press of Dodd, Mead New York. It is the dramatic story of the rise of a genius from lowliest life to lofty station and of his ambitions and disappointments. It is a powerful tale of wonderfully well sustained Interest.

"American Bookmen; Sketches Chiefly Biographical of certain Writers of the Nineteenth Century" is a handsome volume by M. A. De Wolfe Howe. Press of Dodd, Mead New York. It is richly and bountifully illustrated with portraits, landscapes, plates, facsimile etc.

Its text is of Irving, Cooper. Bryan, Poe, Willis, Halleck, Drake, the American historians and humorists, Emerson and Concord. Hawthorne, Whitman, Lowell, Whittier. Longfellow and Holmes. These sketches are not "lives," nor are they mere glances at careers.

They are more; they take us into the life and activities of each of the "bookmen" considered. The task has been gracefully accomplished. The result is a valuable work, one that puts into 300 octava pages what else one might have to search whole libraries for months to obtain. There is considerable new light thrown upon the subjects; there is critical concern in the treatment, but no severity or carping. The au- thor's aim has been the unfolding of the truth about these American bookmen, not all of whom who are notable, are treated, of course, but all the leaders are and very many others by briefer mention than those we have named.

The Christmas number of the San Francisco "Wasp" is a half royal quarto of over seventy pages. It is richly illustrated with half tone views of San Francisco scenery. There is a large amount of newsy and critical matter in the number which is one exceedingly creditable to the Wasp Publishing Company. The Christmas edition of the "Music and Drama," San Francisco, is rich in gold and tint covers and replete with fine portraiture of actors, actresses and of reading matter in the fifty odd pages. It is a typographical b3auty, and stands to the high credit of the publishers.

The Christmas San Francisco "News Letter" comes to us with many added pages and a beautiful gold, green and blue back fold cover in half tones, colored lithography, and is replete with critical matters, has stories, sketches, business notes, etc. It is, all in all, a splendid number. "Parasitic Wealth" is the title of a manifesto to the people of the United States on the money question and social problem. It is by John Brown, and is from the press of Charles H. Kerr Chicago.

It favors State control and ownership of telegraphs and railroads, Government made money, opposes interest on capital, land monopoly, etc. It is certainly a vigorous presentation of the ideas of the more advanced socialists. The author is decidedly an alarmist. From Doxey, San Francisco, we have the "Lark Almanac" for lUiiQ, brimful of the oddest fancies of illustration that ever floated through the discordant dreams of an artist of the grotesque. THE NEW YEAR.

It Was Ushered In in a Quite Respectable Manner. The city was last night spared the usual din and racket at midnight caused by the promiscuous discharge of firearms and bombs on the streets. Some of the steam whistles were blown, a few bells were rung, and now and then a pistol report and toot of a horn was heard, but as compared with former years the demonstration was really of a respectable character. New Year's Eve is the time usually chosen for blowing open safes, when reports caused by powder explosions attract little or no attention. It remains to be seen to-day whether or not the safe-crackers got in their work last night.

However, we are now in the year 1599, and you forget it, when you come to date your letters. WILL HAVE TO WAIT. Michael is Not Well Enough Posted as Yet. Michael Mendrani of Latrobe, fired with ambition to become an American citizen, appeared before Judge Johnson yesterday and asked to be naturalized. Michael, however, returned home a sadder if not a wiser man, and all on account of the conundrums Judge Johnson asked him.

The first was: "Who is the Chief Executive of this highest office?" To which the reply was, "The Courthouse." To the question where he lived, he answered that he" just worked around. He had to be prompted in answering what State he lived in, and did not know whether or not this country is ruled by a King. His naturalization was deferred. HAPPY CHILDREN. Salvation Army Christmas Tree- Clothing for the Needy.

There was a large audience at the Salvation Army's headquarters at 507 street last night to witness the Christmas tree ceremonies of the army. There was a large audience of children and their friends, and hundreds of packages were distributed. The exercises, were opened with singing, testimony and prayer. Nearly all the business men of Sacramento contributed to the tree, and many of them gave substantially for the benefit of the poor. One firm gave clothing valued at $100 to be distributed to deserving poor people.

Death of Mrs. Maurice Sheehan. Mrs. Ellen Murray Sheehan, wife of Maurice Sheehan, died at her home in this city yesterday. Deceased was a native of Cork, Ireland, and in her seventy-third year.

She leaves, besides her husband, four grown sons ani one Timothy Edward C. and W. P. Sheehan, and Mrs. J.

G. Genshlea. Another son, John A. Sheehan, died a few weeks since. Deceased was a most devoted wife and mother, and her death, though not unexpected, brings grief to many hearts.

The funeral will take place at 1:30 p. m. on Monday from the family residence, 1 I'M) street, and services will be held in the Cathedral. Friends may view the remains at the family residence at any time till the hour of the funeral, but the casket will not be opened in the Cathedral. Y.

Chief of Police Dwyer Takes Charge of Three Children. Chief of Police Dwyer found a case of neglect and cruelty to children yesterday that was appalling and sickening. He was informed that a man named William Gibson was neglecting and cruelly treating three children in his house on street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, just across the levee. The Chief went out with Officer Maley, and witnessed a state of affairs that he describes as terrible. The children girl of 15, another of 11, and a boy 5 years living in the utmost squalor.

There was not a chair or table in the house. The structure itself was of tin, with not a window sash or pane of glass in the openings. The door was open, and a small fire burned in the stove, the smoke going out through a hole in the roof. The room was filthy beyond description. Gibson's wife, a sister of the children, sat on the floor with a baby in her arms.

The only place for the family to sleep in the one room was a pile of filthy rags. There was not a knife or fork in the house, Chief Dwyer says, and the children were forced to eat such food as they had from the filthy floor. He describes it as a sickening sight. Gibson, it is stated, is getting $15 a month for supporting the family, which comes from their father's estate in Placer County. Judge Prewett was telephoned to at Auburn, the children being under his jurisdiction, and he gave Chief Dwyer authority to take charge of the children, and they were taken to the station-house and cared for and fed.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children will probably be given charge of them. ON THE DIAMOND. Game Between the Bahy Gilts and Lee Stanleys. The Lee Stanley and the Baby Gilt Edge baseball teams yesterday played a fine exhibition game. Schuler at short and Parsons at first played their usual good games.

Pillsbury's chess exhibtion tour has already commenced, and he has been enthusiastically received wherever he has played, and expects to be on the coast at an early date. He goes to England about the end of March, giving in that country exhibitions of his wonderful ability. Mr. Pillsbury has been engaged by the "American Chess Magazine," not for" the purpose of making money out of his trip, but with a desire to build up the circulation of that valuable periodical, and thus help the growth of the game of chess in this country. As he plays checkers and whist, as well as chess in blindfold performances, a combination of the three games will form a means of entertainment which will, without doubt, attract many to see these most wonderful exhibitions.

Below is given the opening in a correspondence game between George M. Dixon. M. of this city and Dr. G.

E. Bailey of San Francisco, and it is thought thus far Dr. Dixon has the better game: (WTiite.) (Black.) Dr. Dixon. Dr.

District Attorney Ryan Satisfied It Was Useless to Try Him. Judge Hart yesterday discharged John Welch, who was held to answer on a charge of illegal voting. District Attorney Ryan made the motion, which was concurred in by Dis; trict Attorney-elect Baker. It was I shown that it was Welch's first vote, that he was registered in the precinct adjoining the one where he actually voted, and that he made no attempt to vote anywhere else. Under these circumstances it was felt useless put the county to the expense of a trial.

Upson's Case Continued. The case of A. W. Upson, charged with embezzlement, was continued by Judge Hart yesterday until Tuesday, his attorney, Judge Holl, not having received a copy of the information in time. To Nurse the Soldiers.

Miss Sadie Schwartz of this city has gone to Manila as chief of a party of thirty-five nurses to care for Uncle Sam's sick or wounded soldiers. jtjt Jtjt TOO MUCH ACCURA- CV CANNOT BE EM- PLOYED IN FITTING SPECTACLES AND EVEr GLASSES.
