r- tf-rtv1 -ff--ii THE KANSAS CITY' JOURffAl MONDAY, APRIL 24,1899. -yKS-" ON OUR BOOK TABLE JOURXALISM AlfD ITS IXFXTJEJl'CE ON POETRY. Connn Doyle In a Nctt Role A Round- bead Cavalier Edoaard Rod In Fiction "The Merchant Prince of Cornvllle. Th6 newspaper Is becoming a dominating force even In democratizing Toetry. There seems to be nothing to prevent It.

Modern songs are of the highways and the byways. The city slums and the deserted villages are haunted by sorrowful figures, men of power and endurance, feeding their melancholy not with heroic the beauty of the moon, and the studious cloisters, but with the actual sight of the misery in which so many millions live. To this mood the vaunted sweetness and light of the ineffective apostle of culture are like a faded rose in a charnel house, a flash of moonshine on the Dead eea. Tne poet is in the street, the hospital. He Intends the world to know that It Is out of Joint.

He will not let It alone. "With whatever trumpet or Jew's harp he can command he will clang and buzz -at its ear, disturbing its sleep, possibly its pleasures; discoursing of darkness -and of. the terror that walks by night. Do they- delight in this? No; it is only that It is inevitable. Democracy is here: and we have to go through with it.

Perhaps it was first of all the newspaper that couched the eyes of poetry. Burns' eyes were open; and Wordsworth had profound insight into the true character of man and of the world; but all the rest saw men as trees walking; Tennyson and Browning are Shakespearean. The prismatic cloud that Shakespeare hung out between poets and the world! It was the newspapers that brought us round to what may be called an order of pre-8hakespear-canlsm. It was out of the newspapers that Thomas Hood got "The Song of the Shirt" In Its place probably the most Important English poem of the nineteenth century; the "woman in unwomanly rags plying her needle and thread" is the type of the world's misery. "The Song of the Shirt" is the most terrible poem in the English language.

Only a high heart and strong brain broken on the wheel of life, but master of Its own pain and anguish, able to Jest In the Jaws of death, could have sung this terrible song. Poetry passed by on the other side. It could not endure the woman in unwomanly rags. It hid Its head like the fabled ostrich in some sandbed of Arthurian legend, or took shelter in the paradoxical optimism of "The King and the Book." But the woman In unwomanly rags, and all the Insanity and iniquity of which she is the type, wUl now be sung. The Muses will probably concern themselves with her and hers for some time to come.

Elbert Hubbard Before the Army. The champlou of the Philistines has come forth once more to do battle. During the heat of wordy warfare, he sends "A Message to Garcia" for reinforcements from the ranks of those discerning ones who appreciate a good thing. The message is of course symbolical, as is everything that the Aurora Bore-ally dispatches down the lines. The message defends capital from labor and commiserates the lot of the employer who grows old before his time in forcing or bribing other men to assist him in making themselves comfortable.

This is a new light on the question. The aim of the preachman In this message Is to dig spurs Into the general conscience. After all," this much bewhlpped conscience is pretty much of a nuisance. It is like a child. If jrou pet It and play with It and Jet It have everything it wants.

It becomes spoiled and intrudes on all your amusements and most of your griefs. Treat your conscience as you would anything else. "Wl'cn it is rebellious, spank It be severe wltj it. argue with it, prevent it from coming to play with you at all hours, and you will have a good conscience; that is to say, a properly trained one. A spoiled one simply destroys all the pleasure In life.

The preachment stands on a good foundation, and is -worthy of much serious consideration. (EaFt Aurora, N. The Roy-croft Shop.) A Crowded Stage. William Barry Is a profound student and an able critic: but not a born novelist Consequently his new novel. "The Two Standards," while the product of a wide and Intense Interest In human life, is dls-nppointlng.

A dozen societies and coteries are described in detail financial, fashionable, musical, evangelical and many more. Company promoters, litterateurs, spiritualists. Calvinlsts. operatic com posers, prima donnas and monks play their parts In the front of the stage. It cannot be admitted that Dr.

Barry is a good artist, not even a good photographer. Tho scenic and personal details may be all right, but the grouping Is often wrong, and the breath of life is not in the actors of the drama. The breath of life blows all around them, however, the breath of vital purpose. However shadowy they may seem as personages, he makes It clear what they stand for. makes the contest in which they are struggling a real one.

in which we take hides and watch the lssue anxiously. (New York: The Century Company.) A It'oTel by Edounrd Rod. In his new novel. "Pastor Naudle's Young 'Wife." Edouard Rod has made a study of French Protestantism with the scene laid in La Rochelle and Montauban. the two Huguenot strongholds.

The story first saw the light In the "Revue des Deux Mondes," and for two reasons has reached a very large audience In France. The Catholics praise the book because thev find In It arguments against their adversaries; the Protestants, while protesting that the author, because he wrlteB in clerical gaulols, is none of theirs, read it to discover per-bonal allusions to their spiritual guides. It Is a study of life in the historic town of La Rochelle. and Is wholesome in its moral atmosphere: even reminiscent of Mrs. Humphry "Ward's novels.

The author throws a shaft of light down Into that obscure old Frotestant bourgeois community, as It is sometimes thrown down through the water upon a sea-bed. and every living creature within the circle of Illumination stands as clearly defined as do the figures in one of Melssonler's Even the characters that move about In the shadowy penumbra Just outside the circle are in good outline and proportion: and on finishing the book one feels like asking tho author to shift, slightly, the angle of his shaft of light, to bring these minor characters out Into the illuminated circle, and then tell us about the detailed workings of Monsieur Lanthelme'a mind, and what Monsieur Merlin really thought about himself when alone, at his own fireside. This is the remarkable effect of Edouard Rod's books. Even the dim secondary characters are so true to life that they arouse a vivid Interest and one wishes to follow them to their homes and haunts and learn more about them. (Boston: Little.

Brown Co.) A Roundhead Cavalier. The times of Charles T. and rrnmtcrfi have been levied upon enormously for fictional material and. far from being exhausted, they have furnished Beulah Marie Dlx with a vivid background for a stirring narrative, "Hugh Gwyeth." Tho book takes its name from the hero, a lad who has been brought up among his mother's kinsmen in England apart from his father, who is an English soldier or fortune on the Continent. Colonel Gwyeth returns to England and holds a commission under the king, and the story describes the adventurous vicissitudes of the lad in the royal army.

The father refusing to own him, the young man sets up as a soldier on his own account and undergoes a most extraordinary number of hardships. Reconciliation finally ensues, although the true character of the father remains in Umbo. An unusual book and more remarkable when we recollect the feminine author. (New York: Macmlllan Company.) Spoiled by Doyle. A.

Conan Doyle's new novel. "A Duet with an Occasional Chorus." is said to be a story in which the author has felt a peculiar Interest. The Interest Is a sorely minor consideration with the reader. The -cene is laid in London at the present time. Tho book opens where the conventional ends with a marriage; another point of difference from the usual novel is that the marriage turns out happily, notwithstanding the variegated experiences of hero and heroine.

Dr. Doyle shows a new phase of talent in the book tho talent of saying nothing well As an interpretation of wedded life It Is a stark, staring failure and the cobweb" hang on every idea advanced. No, no Mr Dojle. stick to your Holmes and do not wander among the Philistines with such light artillery In your pocket! (New York: D. Appleton Co.) Mormons and Mormonlsm.

In writing: "The Mormon Lily Dougall has attempted, and with some success, to construct a powerful story which would also be true to history, and a faithful study of curious latter-day religion, little understood by the world at large. Not Bricham. but Joseph Smith, was the founder of Mormonlsm. monogamous and for the most part working In harmony with the laws of the land. Miss Dougall thinks that Smith was genuinely deluded by the involuntary freaks of an active but untrained mind, and that, yielding to such freaks he became confirmed in the hysterical temperament which adds self-deception to delusion, and then half-consclou3 fraud.

"The Mormon Prophet" Is no less interesting than curious, and while It may become a topic for discussion by upholders of various religious beliefs," yet Its chief merit will be appreciated by those who enjoy meeting new characters and new scenes. In fiction. (New York: D. Appleton Co.) The Merchant Prince of Corn-rllle. "When M.

Rostand brought out his "Cyrano de Bergerac, A Heroic Comedy" which, it Is claimed. Is a plagiarism on the "Merchant Prince of Cornvllle." there was almost universal astonishment. To many It seemed that Rostand was little less than a reincarnation of Shakespeare. The more sanguine began to hope that in these degen. erate days a great master had appeared to glorify the modern stage with work worthy to rank with that of the golden age of English drama.

There were, however, a few drawbacks to the sudden enthusiasm. The unities of the drama were disregarded in the play, particularly as to plot and time. The piece did not rank kindly under Its title of comedy. That colossal nose, so nromlsing of amuse ment, yielded only the sort furnished at a. spanisn Duungnt.

it was more proline or pathos and of tragedy than of comedy. And the last scene, to. which we were rushed through a period of fifteen years in the piece, affords the most tragic ending to a comedy ever- invented' -by- a playwright. There were farce, melodrama, tragedy, and some comedy, in de i Samuel' Hberly In publishing his! sa-caueu plagiarized play, Mercnailt Prince of Cornvllle." will give the public an opportunity of Judging the matter for. themselves.

The book is'attractlvely Issued' and merits a certain passing interest, but it' is neither literature nor has the play unus-' ual dramatic possibilities. (Chicagor Ranij, McNally Co.) Town and Country Library. It is seldom that a library of fiction "Jn. umiuuii umaias is as attractive in every way -as that of D. Appleton Co.

IP, "Pharos, the Eeyntlan." Guv Boothbv shows that he can tell -an Interesting story. men iium mo point 01 view 01 me reaaor who asks for a succession of stirring events and a suspicion of mystery. Another well written tale in the same library Is "The Procession of Life," by a California, Hos-ace Annesley Vachell. whose "Quicksands of Pactolus" was well received some time ago. Allen Ralne writes a Tare story indeed In his Berwen Banks." Needless to say It has the picturesque and rugged "Welsh mountains 'for a backs-round and th reader will find the neighborhood of the river witn us unusual types of people.

and scenery Imparting a tonic and vital influence. (New York: D. AppletcTn Co.) THE REVIEWER. Books and Their Makers. The disciples of Ibsen are experiencing considerable disappointment at the delay of his new play, which, according to the arrangements made, was due early this year, Hopklnson Smith spent a recent vacation In Holland, and he contributes to the May Scrlbner's a picturesque account of It, en- titled "Between Showers In Dort," with many reproductions from his water-color sketches.

The Macmlllan-Company will publish Immediately ai paper-covered edition of "The Choir. conslstihg of 50,000 copies. This means that nearly 200.000 copies of this popular novel will have been sold before the new book- which Mr. Allen Is now writing will have, left-the in the Mr. Altsheler began to write fiction two years ago.

It came about in this way: It occurred to him. that a boy's story of adventure was needed by the paper -which he. was editing, and, as many another editor has done before him. notably Mr. Max Pemberton, he found that.

In order to get the sort of story he wanted, he would have to write it himself. The story was quite successful, and this gave him an Incentive to try someining Detter. The latest translator o'f Hamlet. Is a royal one the Grand Duke Constantlne Constin-tlnovitch of Russia, president of the academy of sciences. A private Tepressatatlon of the third act, and three -scenes of the fourth and fifth acts, was given a week or two ago at the Marble palace In St, Petersburg, the part of Hamlet being taken by the grand duke himself.

The "scenes from the third act are to be published in a manual Issued in commemoration of the Poush-kin celebration. M. Francois Coppee was at work on a volume of poetry when political events Interrupted him. As soon as he can settle tb work again he hopes to complete this book, which he calls his "LIvre d'Autoin-ne." M. Coppee has also two new plays In pro-pect.

une win aeai witn tne nrst car-list war of 1S32 and the other will show up the conflict between the French society Just created by the new dynasty In Vienna at tne time ot vagram ana tnat or tne old regime. Both of these subjects abound In dramatic possibilities. The ruin of Rudyard Kipling is predicted. All based upon the possibility that the distinguished convalescent is a subscriber to a newspaper clipping bureau, and has agreed to pay one of these useful institutions 5 cents apiece for all newspaper allusions to himself and to his work. It is a horrid picture that the writer draws.

He estimates that the United States alone, with a minimum of 20,000 newspapers, each Issue containing at least five references Mr. Kipling for thirty days running, the clipping bill will amount to $150,000. During the winter of 1873-71 an ominous breakdown of health exiled Stevenson to the Provencal coast, where as a child he had already spent part of two winters. His correspondence during this time Is abundant, and reveals the man In a delightful fashion. At this period, perhaps, his exceeding sensitiveness to impressions and his "passion for perfection" in the matter of literary expression are more in evidence In his letters than Is that brave, optimistic acceptance of life which, in spite of physical weakness and suffering, characterizes Stevenson's message to the world.

Judging from the announcement no ladles are to be received at Chateau de l'Eiper-ance. that Lady Murray agrees with Lang Tammas, who likewise excluded women from his home, even among the servants. "The superintendent." said Tammas, in outlining his scheme to Mr. Barrle, "would be a medical man. appointed by parliament, and he would hae men servants to do his blddinV "Not all men servants, surely?" cried Mr.

Barrle. "Every one of them." Tammas replied. "Man, genius is no to be trusted wl' womenfolk." Tt Is announced that Mr. Richard Le Gal- llenne Is to write a critical volume on Rudyard Kipling's works. We shall await its appearance with Interest.

Meanwhile, if he can spare the time, might It not be edifying to have a critical volume from Mr. Kipling on Mr. Le Gallienne's works? Indeed, a series of critical volumes by conspicuous living authors on each other's works would not be a bad Idea at all. The authorships naturally suggest themselves Mr. Caine on ni4 W.Tr Tinvlp, on ATr Ian Maclar'en on Andrew "Lang, and Andrew Lang on Ian Maciaren; air.

uooiey on air. Davis, and vice versa. Surely these would Be volumes tno critical qualities oi wnicn would be of surpassing interest, even if in some Instances they might lack permanent value. Sir Walter Besant has Indulged in a little Joke at the expense of the British government in connection with its niggardly bp-stowal of honors upon literarv men. We quote the following paragraph from the pages of the "Queen," in which he plays with the idea of Mr.

Kipling's promotion to the peerage: "I om happy In being able to anticipate an official announcement whlrh will be rrade In the London Gazette of January 1. 1801, among the birthday honors that will grace the beginning of thT new century. Mr. Rudyard Kipling will be raised to the peerage as Lord Kipling of Vermont, the latter part of the title by kind permission of the president and the congress and the universal folkesmote of tho United States of America In recognition of the services he has rendered to the Anglo-Saxon race."
