AN EXPURGATED HIBT.K. A wild
war is raging in the city of Chicago
over a suitable edition of the Bible for
reading In the public schools. All
friends of theh schools, of good lltera
turo and the higher criticism will wel
i ime discussion Of the questions In
volved In theh controversy, for tin y will
feel that much good will eventually
nnd inevitably conn- out of it. All sin
e ere Inquirers after truth Will be con
tent still to rely upon the Htblc as au
thority for the great body of religious
opinion extant, even If portions of it
shall be admitted to be objectionable
as reading matter in our schools; while
literature everywhere will be the gainer
by placing the Scriptures on the high
plane where they belong.
This is real progress that is being
made now in the study of the Bible,
and the Christian world should be con
gratulated upon it. The great body Ot
sincere Christians are already united in
heart and substance as to the value
of tho Hlble. and none of them fear that
truth Is assailed by leaving out of school
exercises many passages and portions
of it.
Ami when ail present differences end.
the wonder will grow why the sure re
sulting advantages were not attained
long ago,

A TRIBUTE To CELIA THAXTER.
Gerald Stanley Lane in the Critic pays
a just and beautiful tribute to the mem
ory of Strs. Thaxter, whose poems have
made her island home on the coast of
New England famous:
•■Shi' lived the island Into her life. She
became its scientist, its experience, its
biography. She bad at once tlie inten
sity and the finish of knowing perfectly;
and. with the driftwood to teach her
mystery, and the soft mists to bring
dreams from over the sea. she became a
j oet—a voice of winds and waters and
flowers. Appledore is her masterpiece.
Tlie island with all its neighborhood of
cloud will always belong to her. It is
literature now. It Is copyrighted. Like
letters will the seasons come across the
greater waters—from her n> those who
visit there. The soul has gone forth
from behind the eyes, it shall never go
forth from this Island In the sea. When
the music is still and the ivy-windows
are blown from tbe porch and the holly
hocks are broken and love has Rone
ashore—she waits for us. Wrapped in
the shadow of tlie snow, the desolate
winter comes out of the gray sea and
wanders like Forget fulness where the
poppies sleep, and visits her grave alone;
but to us she will come in the blooming
time of June—and be Appledore."
This is as appreciative of the highest
mission of literature itself as it is of the
sweet singer whose memory is so dear
to every lover of poetry.

A SINGULAR LIFE. By Elisabeth
Stuart Phelps, Houghton, Milllin
& Co.
This remarkable book, by all odds tlv>
HiwyAwiyjw (timfß 'y«icn some auto
biographical writing to create a new in
terest in Mrs. Phelps-Ward's books, and
in herself—a distinct literary revival. Tt
may be, too. St. Agatha's Supply, that
beautiful little roster-time volume,
might also have contributed to this new
interest.
Perhaps the most remarkable tribute
paid to this story was by the literary
critic of the London Christian World, a
tribute so appreciative and so Sincere
that we append extracts from it. Of
Emanuel Bayard, the "Christ Man," of
tho poor fisherman of wisdom, he has
these strong words of appreciation and
praise:
"Into the full suffering or the life of
Christ the best of us may hardly say
we enter. The life of Emanue] Bayard
makes that suffering very near. We. who
above all else are very human, are corn
pelted to bow down In fore the hourly
heroism of the man who gave his ||f..
lor his people. He holds us. as he held
his hearers, and the vision of his face
is, with Stephen, as the face of an angel.
The book is permeated with the breath
of the sea, with its mother-call of sym
pathy, its passionate throes, its match
less strength, and eternal question and
appeal. Miss Phelps knows Its caresses
and its pain, the men and women whom
it makes or mars, and as we read w c
know them too. IWth Bayard we light
lor life in the storm; we weep for Angel
alley; we thrill at the echo of Helen's
voice as the tide rose, and 'those mighty
lovers, the sea and the shore, urged and
answered, resisted and yielded, protest
ed and pleaded, retreated and met. loved
and elapsed, and slept. There is a wind
blown, wild-flower fragrance about Hel
en which makes her stand out even from
amongst Miss Phelp's gallery of beau
til'ul-natured women.
Of the minor characters of the book
the critic hits to say that the fishermen
folk with whom Bayard and Helen had
to deal, were "like our own Cornish
fishermen." members of that universal
brotherhood of old-time sailors. Of the
author herself, these words are just:
"There is something in Miss Phelps'
writing which disarms criticism. Lik2
Helen, she captures one. We feel her
power too strongly to define the exact
point in which it is strongest. Possibly
for each individual soul she will speak
in Individual accents; the certainty is.
that to each thinking soul she is bound
to speak. For—and herein lies tlie force
and conviction of the book—Miss Phelps
stands amongst those whose aim is to
leave a message of faith with the world.
The band is no large one: there are but
few living writers to whom one can turn
for honest help and guidance. Some few
aim at being wholesome; far more, at
awakening the senses by means which
are almost as unlawful as a defined sin.
Miss Phelps has the spontaneity of
Kingsley, blended with a wonderful psy
chology. She is so reverent, too. Every
thing Is real to her—heaven, Immortaii
lty, Christ. And to us, in listening to her
message, It all becomes infinitely more
near and near. We learn to look out be
yond this small life's tragedy, and to see
clearer the helpful, laboring souls of
men and women with strong natures
and loyal hearts. Miss Phelps is satis
fied with nothing less than the best
in life, In love and in religion."

ADAM JOHNSTONE'S SON. By F. Ma
rion Crawford. MaoMillan & Co.,
New York. For sale by Stoll &
Thayer.
There is small need to remind the
reader of the many volumes Mr.Craw
tord lias turned out. He has Inns kept
the publishers busy and the public,
too, for that matter. It has been the
fashion lately among the critics to
treat Crawford as overdoing the matter
of making new bunks and overdrawing
his account with novel readers, and it is
a fact that he may have written too
much, been too much the slave of time
and had too heavy a pressure on him to
do the best in everything. Still, in the
volume before us, ho seems very sure
of his ground, and writes with the same
Arm touch as of old.
The world Is full of mothers like Mrs.
Bowrlng. that is. the world or travelers
who go about from place to place in
search or health and comfort—and many
things beside not always stated or even
rally understood. It Is a pretty seem—
the scone of so many Crawford stories—
where this mother and her daughter
Clare look out upon the soft sea that
"blue at their foot, and quite still, but
further out the westerly breeze that
swept past the Conca combed tt to crisp
roughness; then it was less blue to the
southward, and gradually it grew less
real, till it lost color and melted Into a
skv-hazo that almost hid the southern
mountains and the lizard-like head of
the far Dicnsa."
We shall leave the plot of the story to
tho reader, who will find the text most
beautifully anil aptly Illustrated, and
only commend its literary style to the
careful study of the many who have
feared that the author had written him
self out. .
We cannot forbear, however, to pre
sent this fine bit of the picture of Clare
Bowrlng, the pale and quiet and weakly
young girl, who was surely delicate, if
not really 111, as she sat "In the deep
straw chair hatless. with bare white
hands that held her work. Her thick,
flaxen hair. Btratghtly parted and
smoothed away from its low growin
ou. .4 hft. ,f ivwH-j! •> , ,*nJf,B»A.*!'W.W fffrfrW
for beauty, cast very faint light
shadows as she looked down; but when
she raised the lids, the dark blue eves
were bright, with wide pupils and a
straight look, quick to fasten, slow to let
go. never yet quite softened, and never
yet mannishly hard. Hut In its own way,
perhaps, there is no look so hard as the
look of maiden Innocence can bo. There
can oven be something terrible In its
unconscious stare. There is a spirit of
(iod's own fearful directness In It" * *
* • "There Is no equality, and no com
munity In virtue; It is only original sin
thai makes us all equal and human."
The story ends at what would seem
to be the real turning point, but the
author chouses this to be, since "real
life has no conclusions but real death,
and that is a sad ending to a, tale, and
one whioh may as well lie left to the
imagination, when it is possible."
SPRING NOTES FROM TENNES
SEE. By Bradford Torrey, author
of A Florida Sketch Hook. Birds In
tho Hush. A Rambler's Lease, The
FootfPath Way. Houghton Mifflin
& Co.
This handsome volume is made tip
from a delightful group of papers never
before In book form. Our readers, how
ever, will recall at least one or two of
these secretly given to the world in
magazine articles, especially Chica
mauga and On Missionary Ridge.
Nothing could be more captivating
.ban these sketches, in which are so in
geniously blended the short insight and
observations of the keen naturalist with
the broad knowledge of the man of the
world. We have talk of birds and bird
ways in the midst of war hlstorv, and
descriptions of the lields whereon the
bloody strife raged for years. But while
we express a preference for these later
and especially mentioned sketches, all
are charming and perfect of their kind
There is a long list of birds und full In

Houghton. Mifflin &Co.
And here is another book from the
pen of a born naturalist, comprising
matters some of which are familiar to
the faithful magazine reader, but most
ot it practically new. The volume is a
I.no specimen of book-making. The il

Showing the habits and antics of the

It Is a book for all ages and all sorts
ot readers, especially interesting, how

MII.LAIS' "HUGUENOTS"
Ybur favdrtte picture rises up before me,
Whene'er you play that tune:
1 see two figures standing in a garden
In the still August noon.
One is a girl with pleading face turned
upward.
Wild with a great alarm,
Trembling with haste she binds her
broldered kerchief
Around the other's arm.
Whose gaze Is bent on her in tender pity,
Whose eves look Into hers
With a deep meaning, though she cannot
read it,
Hers are so dim with tears.
What are they saying in the sunny garden,
With summer's flowers ahlow'.'
What gives the woman's voice Its pas
sionate pleading:
What makes the man's so low?
"See, love." she murmurs, "you shall wear
my kerchief.
It is the badge. I know:
And it will bear you safely through the
conflict
If—if indeed you go?
"You wil not wear it ? Will not wear my
kerchief?
Xav. do not tell me why!
I will not listen! If yott go without lt
You will go hence to die.
"Hush! Ho not answer! lt Is death. I tell
you.
Indeed, I speak the truth.
You. standing there so full of life and
courage,
So bright with health anil youth.
STREET SCENE IN SAN DIEGO
"You would go hence, out ot the summer
sunshine,
Out of the garden bloom.
Out of the living, thinking, feeling present,
into the unknown gloom?"
Then he makes answer, "Hush! oh, hush
mv darling!
Life is so sweet to me.
So full of hope you need not bid mc guaid
It,
If such a tiling might be!
"It such a thing might be!—but not
through falsehood,
T could not come lo you:
1 dare not stand here In your pure, sweet
presence.
Knowing myself untrue."
"It. is no sin," the wild voice Interrupts
hint,
"This is no open strife.
Have you not often drrumpt a nobler war
fare
In Which to spend your lire?
"Oh! for my sake—though but for my sake
—wear it!
Think what my life would be
If you, who gave Its tlrst true worth and
meaning.
Wero taken now from mc!
"Think of Ihe long, long dayß, so slowly
passing!
Think of the endless years!
I am so young! Must I live out my life
time
With neither hopes nor fears?"
He speaks ai;aln, In mournful tones, and
tender,
But with unswerving faith:
"Should not love make us braver, aye, and
stronger
Either lor life or death?
"And life is hardest. Oh, my love, my
treasure.
If 1 could bear your part
Of this great sorrow. 1 would go to meet it
witit an unshrinking heart.
"Child! Child! I little dreampt in that
bright summer
When first your love 1 sought.
OC all the future store of woe and an
guish
Which I, unknowing, wrought.
"But you'll forgive me? Yes, you will for
give me,
I know, when I am dead!
I would have loved you—but words have
scant meaning;
God loves you more instead."
Then there Is silence In the sunny garden,
t'ntil. with faltering tone.
She sobs, the while still clinging close to
htm,
"Forgive me—go—my own!"
So human love, and faith by death un
shaken.
Mingle their glorious psalm.
Albeit low, until the passionate pleading
Is hushed iv deepest calm.
—London Spectator.
An Obstacle Easily Surmounted
There are. no doubt, insurmountable ob
stacles. But that barrier to the enjoyment
of health, chronic constipation, is not
among them. And this for the reason that
there is a thorough, prompt und non-grip
ing medicinal agent, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, adapted to its relief, as well as
to the removal of those bilious and dys
peptic Symptoms Whoh accompany it. Vio
lent purgatves, whether mineral or veget
able, weaken the bowels and disorder the
stomach. The Bitters, ou the contrary,
strengthens unit regulates Ihem both.
Moreover, it tranqulllses the nervous sys
tem, unit is a cure for and medicinal safe*
guard against kidney and malarial com
plaints. It Is a mosi genial and effective
tonic, counteracts ihe Innrmttles of age
and promotes convalesonce. Sleep anil ap
petite are both hem-lilted by its use. |i Is
a standard remedy endorsed by the entire
medical fraternity.

and Capitalists Clearly Preaented-The

Many of our T.a Fiesta guests will
wind up their full week's enjoyment by
a trip to San Diego, Those who have
uot visited our sister city for some time
will be greatly astonished at the number
of new improvements and the growth
of the business center
Ten years ago San Diego wa3 but *i
struggling, Insignificant town with
about six thousand population", but to
day it is a compact and well built city
With a population of over 22,000 and en
joys ail the modern improvements.
Among these may be mentioned one of
the finest sewer systems In the i'nited
Stater, planned by Col Waring and
costing $411,000. An excellent water
system, supplied with pure water which
Is brought fifty miles by Hume and pipe
from the Ouyamaca mountains; forty
five miles of graded streets, five miles
of which are paved; a splendid electric
car system, extending from the water
front all over the city; a court house
costing $130,000; twenty churches and
thirty church organizations; a public li
brary containing over 80,000 volumes',
coal bunkers costing $250,000; five local
railroads in addition to the Southern
California system; twelve miles of gas
mains; one of the finest theaters in the
I'nited States, costing $120,000 and seat
ing I too people; two dally newspapers;
three steamship lines and five incorpor
ated banks. '.j*
SCHOOLS.
In the public schools, primary and
grammar, there are about 3000 pupils
enrolled and eighty teachers employed.
In the high school 360 pupils and twelve
teachers. The school buildings are
modern and convenient, as well as im
posing in their appearance.
Besides the public schools there are
several private schools and kinder
gartens.
STREET CAR SERVICE.
I San Diego has a magnificent system
cf electric Btcaai en,. ■»■■ »inn it. was
constructed Without regard to expense.
The entire system cost about 1600,000
nnd comprises thirteen miles of double
road, reaching all thickly settled por
tions of the city, with transfers in any
direction.
RESIDENCES AND BLOCKS.
The number of resiliences erected in
1896 was 20X, and it Is expected that 'OS
will prive even a better record. Two fine
business blocks were completed in 'Or.,
two others are now in course of erection
several others are having plans pre
pared and a large brewery Is being
being built by eastern capitalists.
in the center of the city is a tine park
of 1400 acres which when improved will
be one of the most beautiful in the
world.
SOCIAL ADVANTAGES.
Socially San Diego is a delightful
place. Among the permanent residents
there are a number of well known Amer
ican families of wealth and culture,
and the tourists attracted here by the
world-renowned equability of climate
lind as good social conditions as they
left behind them in the east. One can
lind belter and more pleasant hotel ac
commodations in San Diego that in
many of the largo cities of the east. and.
indeed, better than to be met with on a
European trip. Southern California
owes a debt of gratitude to San Diego
for this marked feature. Climate and
scenery will never tempt the comfort
loving and wealthy traveler to a place
With notably poor hotels. Los Angeles
is awakening to her need of a line tour
ist hotel, and it is hoped that some day
in the near future one of her fine hills
may bear on its summit a well-con
ducted, luxurious place of entertainment
for her guests.
Hotel Brewster of San Diego, through
the good management of its genial
Manager. J. E. O'Brien, has become
favorably known to all travelers. Being
centrally located, It is the leading com
mercial hotel, as well aB a famous
tourists' stopping place.
The Florence, with its wide verandas,
its beautiful location overlooking the
bay and its famous cuisine, has tempt
ed Climate seekers from all over the
world to rest under the hospitable roof
during the winter months. Manager
Lynch, who was this year elected pres
ident or the H. M. M. B. A., has been ac
tive in all concerning the advancement
of San Diego, and his well-appointed
hotel is not the least of the city's at
tractions.
THE CORONADO HOTEL
The whole page might be devoted ta
the telling of the beauties and wonders
of the magnificent hotel which graces
Coronado bench, just across the bay
from Sun Diego, and yet give but a
faint idea of Its attractions. There it
stands on the outermost rim of the con
tinent, the realization of the airiest
"Castle in Spain" that ever builded it
self in a dreamer's drowsy brain. Tow
ers and turrets reaching up into the blue
ether, (iables here, orioles there, and
flowers and flowers and flowers every
where: wide stretches of lawns and the
greenery of unnumbered shrubs,
Above all the bluest of blue skies that
mingles with the dancing waters of the
I'acilic us it melts away on the horizon.
The summer nlr. a combination of (he
dry desert wind nnd the tonic salt sea
air, is as soft and sweet as those that
blow in dreamland.
Whatever your mood, you can al
ways tlnd some condition or phase of
nature at Coronado that will he In har
mony with it. If you are a jaded tour
ist, sick of old world scenes aud smells,
you will lind everything; here fresh and
novel. If yon are a sportsman, you will
meet with unlimited opportunities and
endless variety, and no one shall deny
your right to shoot and fish at sour own
sweet will. If you are weary with the
turmoil and strife that comes from the
busy haunts or men. you will find that
you can be idle here with less ennut

CLIMATE
It is not an unusual thing in San
Diego to see no clouds at all for 300
days out of 365.
Southern California v,0.„ often been
referred to as "the Italy of Amrri™,"
anr i r>iegu as it Naples, but a ref
erence to the mean isothermal lines for
January and July, as given on Rand.
McNally & Co.'s school globe, Will show
that we can boast of more than an Italy.
The mean Isothermal line for January,
from San Diego around the globe,
passes through Galveston, New Orleans
and Jacksonville in the I'nited States;
thence to the southern coast of the
Mediterranean sea, between Alexandria
and Jerusalem; thence through the Per
sian gulf. Lahore, India, and Foo Chow,
China. The mean isothermal line for
July follows the Pacific coast north to
Kolzebue sound, in Northern Alasks;
thence east through Northern Canada,
passing through Hudson bay and Lab
rador: thence to Sweden and Norway,
and back to this coast through North
ern Siberia.
Thus it will be seen that San Diego
has a warmer climate in winter than
Italy, and one that is much cooler in
summer. According to the official rec
ords of the i'nited States signal service
during twenty-two years, from 1572 to
IXO4. out of 5035 days, 744,'p were clear or
fair, ami there were only 1*35 days in
which rain fell to the amount of .01 of
an Inch or over.
It requires a temperature of 28degrees
to kill oranges or lemons. From 1886 to
1891—6206 days— there were 6006 days of
temperature not above SO degrees nor
below 40 degrees. "Cold snaps" and
"heated spells" are unknown in San Di
ego.
PLACES OF INTEREST
Resorts and places of interest sur
round the city. There is the Sweet
water dam. which is reached by a short
ride on a suburban railroad, the Nation
al City and Otay, taking on through a
well-cultivated valley to the high mesa
lands. The dam is of solid masonry, is
HO feet high, 100 feet long and 45 feet in
thickness at the base. Its cost was
over $200,000, and it Is regarded as one
of the most remarkable pieces of en
gineering in the United States.
OLD TOWN AND LA JOLLA
On the line of the San Diego. Pacific
Beach and La Jolla railroad. One may
stop off at Old Town" and see the ruins
of Fort Stockton, the Presidio, the
graceful old palms, the veterans of the
state. 150 years old. and the old mission
church established by Padre Junipero
In 1780, where Helen Hunt Jackson's
Ramona was married. Here, too, are
the "melodious old hells of Old Town."
As there are several trains a day each
way. one may. after a review of historic
Old Town, go on to La Jolla. one of the
most popular resorts on the coast of
California. Here the surf is grand: the
beach and rocks abound in fine shells
und mosses. The caves are wonderful,
and delightful hours may be spent in
exploring them. The place Is full of
surprises and is a natural prk.
A pilgrimage along the banks of the
San Diego river, through the lovely
Mission valley, brings one to the pathet
ically beautiful old mission.
POINT LOMA
On this point is situated the pictur
esque old light house, the highest in the
world. The view from the top is simply
soul inspiring. Such a panarama nf
color, light and beauteous form! Moun
tains, valleys, city, bay, ocean, penin
sula, and islands form a wonderful pict
ure.
oi.D MEXICO
Fine drives or several trains daily
take visitors over the border line into
Mexico, where a short visit at Tin
Juana, a typical Mexican town, Is great
ly enjoyed.
THE IIAPdtOR
All who visit Han Diego must perceive
at once the importance of the harbor of
San Diego as the terminus of v trans
continental railroad from the Missis
sippi by the route of tho (ilia. San
Diego, all things considered, has the
best harbor on the coast, having a uni
form climate, perfect anchorage and se
cnrltv rrnm winds In any direction, On
the whole roast of California, over 700
miles, therp are hut two natural land
locked harbors, San Francisco and San
Diego. The latter, although not as
large, is more easy of access and safer
for shipping than San Francisco. There
Is less rain, fog or thick haze and more
clear weather in this vicinity than at all
points to the northward, and the en
trance is less difficult to make and en
ter on that account. Large vessels can
go about seven miles up the bay with an
anchorage width of channel of 800 yards
between the four fathom lines at low
water. This Indicates sufficient capac
ity to accommodate a large commerce.
The depth over the bar at low tide is
twenty two feet.
POSSIBILITIES OF THK FUTURE
Ah the county develops the result is
felt directly in the city of San Diego,
as the rapid growth of the last year in
dicates. When the Nicaragua canal Is
again under way. as it will he In the
near future, millions of dollars of east
ern capital will flow into the city, devel
oping her many resources. However.
San Diego is not Idly looking forward
to a future, but Is industriously carving
it for herself.
