A young lad is called in unexpectedly to perform the duties of a brakeman on a night freight, and goes through all little adventures In which every boy has pictured himself over and over again.

(The Century Company, New York.) ANNUAL SALE "Feathered Immigrants," "Natures First Law," "Why Birds Come and Go, What Brds Do for Us. THE LEAVEN IN GREAT CITY. By Lillian W. Betts. Illustrated.

New York: Dodd, Mead Co. A very Interesting as well as Instructive work, showing the great advancements made in social life among the working people of New York. The writer, leaving out of the problem the organizations created for the purpose of dealing with the incapable, with the victims of chronic and acute poverty, demonstrates the influence of the altruists and the churches in the lives of those who ask for nothing but the opportunity to earn wages. The book unquestionably makes clearer the needs of a great class, who, maintaining home and social standing, add, by the bravery and purity of their lives, to the financial, political and moral capital of the city. There are about three dozen Interesting and beautifully executed Illustrations.

"Wanted A Chaperon," is a light thing, as Its magazine readers have already learned, but it Is as bright as It Is light; a clever and delicate satire upon social conventions, which In emer- pencles may become absurd, and which (nevltably, under test, yield to good sense and right motives. The story moves with rabidity from beginning to end; the characters are real, and once the absurd complication Is conceded, all the other Incidents follow naturally, almost A blithesome vein of humor 'runs through the tale, which is excellently adapted for its double purpose to please and to instruct.

The Storv of a Sea Waif in the War of 1812. By Cyrus Townsend Brady. Illustrated by Ru-f fus F. Zogbaum. New York: Charles Scribners Sons.

Before Mr. Brady folded his Philadel-jphla tents to pitch them in Flatbush, following his militant brother, formerly colonel of "Ours, Brooklyns Twenty-third, had attained merited distinction as a t-writer of tales which Infuse the dry derails of history with red, live blood. "In the Wasps Nest is another of the same klnd; that brilliant and romantic chapter ff the American Navy which has for al-'most a hundred years attracted the (youngsters as they read the Immortal Record of the War of 1812, when the sea 'power of Britain was first humbled, has (been handled with skill and appreciation, making a story which is full of action and of charm not only to boys in their I teens, but to those of an older growth. Mr. Bradys work in his chosen field Is (ihat of a strong, masterly hand, which grasps with certainty, molding the mate- rlal in a' composite which is at once ar tistic and effective, giving to history a vivid, living quality.

The story is woven about incidents of a sufficiently legen dary character to lend themselves to the IaAaqf literary composition, and altogether the result is one which combines in an unusual manner the cold facts and the play of fancy. Now that the "new navy has come tj Stay, with its gigantic fighting machines, it is a real service" to hark back, to the days of the infant 'American Navy, when "hearts of oak were pretty much all that the young Na-( tlon had with which to withstand the opposing forces of the world. Zogbaqm's (pictures are keenly appreciative, apd with the strictest fidelity to details in naval construction, equipment, uniforms, add much to the realistic effect of the story. SON OF GAD. An Anglo-American Story of To-day.

By John A. Steuart. New York: D. Appleton Co. This Is the strongest story that has (ever come from Mr.

Steuarts pen; the (action is rapid and the situations dramatic, and at the same time the author enters upon a fresh field, dealing with lubjects of international Interest. The characters are partly British and partly American, and the development Incidentally Illustrates the process of Americanizing England and Anglicizing America, now so rapidly going on. The biblical passage, A troop shall overcome him; but he shall overcome at the jlast, Indicates to some extent the nature (of the story. Two houses are concerned: one old, aristocratic, and decayed', the other new and enormously rich, and on one side at least there Is bitter enmity. The love interest is ab-i sorbing throughout, and is developed with intensity.

It is a very readable tale. UNDER CALVINS SPELL. A Tale of the Heroic Times In Old Geneva. By Deborah Alcock. Illustrated.

New i York and Chicago; Fleming H. Reveil Company. A moving, graphic story of the stirring times of Calvin and the Huguenots, the 6cene centering in Geneva but shifting at times Into Savoy and France. As a story the plot Is vigorous with action suspense, surprise and critical situations. Moreover, its tone is wholesome and its heroism Inspiring.

As history it vividly portrays the social, political and religious conditions of the time, with the factional dissensions, the in difference of the non-religious, the heroic devotion of the Protestants and their toleration of the Catholics. It acquaints the reader with historic characters, fa miliarizes him with domestic and public manners and customs, and makes old Geneva and its mighty influences liv again. It is a tale which, once begun will not be willingly laid down until the tnd Is reached. There are fifteen excel lent full-page illustrations.

George W. Dunn, chairman of the Republican State Committee, yesterday: New York, Nov. 6, 1902. My Dear Colonel, I think It well that one of your officers In the field, now that the battle Is over and the smoke cleared away and the gloriously won, should congratulate his chief at headquarters, who so ably planned and conducted the campaign. Our success is In a measure due to the fact that both organizers and fighters were largely men born and brought up In the country, and who knew how country folk think and act.

I have always had, as you have, an Intense admiration for the fighting and staying qualities of the farmer who, this has won our eternal gratitude. In the delight which Ve all feel that Odell won out so handsomely, and that we have him for another term as Governor, there Is to me a special personal pleasure that this assures another term for my colleague In the Senate, dear old Platt that constructive brain of his never worked better than In this canvass and he will go back to the Senate with an unanimity of affectionate enthusiasm in our party which has rarely, if ever before, been evidenced. Sincerely yours, CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW, Col. George W.

Dunn, Fifth Avenue Hotel, New Yorku The Junior Senator also called upon Senator Platt at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to congratulate him upon Gov. Odell's re-election, and to urge the Senior Senator to be re-elected by the next Legislature. Senator Platt said later that he didnt care to go back, but Senator Depew said It might be a party necessity for him to go back, so as to avoid party dissensions.

The presence of Andrew D. White, United States Ambassador to Germany, representing Yale University at the Bodleian Library celebrations last week, brings into contrast the mushroom growth of Yale and the Immemorial life of Oxford. Yale University began its existence in 1701 as the Collegiate School of Connecticut. A sardonic chronicler of that State has remarked of Ellhu Yale, who, out of his large fortune, gave 22,500 to the University named after him: Never was human distinction so cheaply purchased as that which perpetuates the otherwise almost unknown names of John Harvard and Ellhu Yale." The collection of books giveh to Oxford by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1598 cost twenty times the sum with which Elihu purchased his Immortality. Yale is now rich in books; having some 258,000 to her credit, a long way, of course, behind Oxford's 400,000 odd volumes.

A REPUBLICANS ADVICE TO REPUBLICANS. To the Editor of The Standard Union: Dear Sir: I suppose for the next two weeks we shall hear the wisdom of those who know how it happened. Would it not be better for some Republicans to climb down from their pedestals, and the I am better than thou attitude and start working in their own Assembly districts? Have you noticed the new blood the Democrats have taken in lately, and how the leaders consult, confer with, and even make way for them? All this talk of men stepping down and out is the worst kind of politics; if the present captains and leaders will quietly introduce new blood and new men on the scene and they themselves with their experience, advise and counsel, keep in the background, it will give the progressive men a chance and all these rumblings beneath the surface will cease. To be a successful politician or leader these times for any length of time is not easy, as very few can keep step with the progress of events, and the drawing of fine distinctions will not be considered and only engender animosities. There is no reason why Republicans should not become more popular in this cosmopolitan city than Democrats, as both McKinley and Roosevelt were men of the people and carefully apprehended their wants, as did also Lincoln, the greatest of them all.

The Generals command should now be, forward and victory, for next Mayoralty campaign. Progressive Republicanism commends itself also to Democrats, with new men to carry the standards and plant them upon the fortifications at the city gates. I could never understand why so many complain about our leaders after they have done valient service, and refuse to play either in the front or back yatd, sulking until the sun goes down and then commence AIITUH SEA TRIPS OF THE OLD DOMINION LINE Make moat attractive routes to Norfolk, Old Point Comfort, Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Washington, D.

A. THE UPPER CURRENTS. By the Rev. J. R.

Miller, D.D. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Co. Dr. Millers new book is full of cheerful philosophy and words of Inspiration.

The chapters contain straightforward lessons intended to incite to braver, stronger, truer living. It is the authors belief that we live well only when down here on earthly levels we catch the breath of heaven and are impelled toward things that are worth while. To be moved only by the lower earthly currents Is to miss all that Is best in life. There are twenty-two short chapters in the volume, with such suggestive titles aa Catching the Upper Currents," Transfiguration, "The Ripening of Character, "Things That Last," and "The Art of Living With People. Here, as always, Dr.

Miller has the happy faculty of putting into brief, pithy sentences a great deal of thought and matter that provokes thought. OUTDOORLAND. A Story for Children. By Robert W. Chambers.
