8 OF WRITERS AND . . . . . . THEIR WRITINGS Tt Is now a definite fact that Sir jArthur Conan Doyle will write an other series of Sherlock Holmes sto ihs. A leading: American weekly has acquired the American serial rights to ih'' work, ami the rumor ihat it has • \ <•• pay at the rate of $1 a word has gained the paper considerable ad vertising, as well as turned the heads of many young ambitious American writers. The dollar-a-word story can not be vouched for: doubtless Sir Ar thur i< to receive $1 a word, more or less, for the serial rights of his fur ther Sherlock Holmes adventures not in this country, but including England and its colonies. If the Amer ican publishers of the se^al matter are paying 25 cents a word, they are perhaps paying all they should, though no character in fiction has such a vogue as this remarkable detective cre ation of Doyle's. It Is understood that the matter will not appear serially be fore next spring; the book publication will probably take place In the fol lowing fall and will be managed in this country by the same h/ise that broughi out "The Hound of the Bas kervilles." Writing of Sherlock Holmes brings up the question of an author's prop erty rights in his characters. Cer tainly, if an author is entitled to the sole use of his characters, provided hisbookis duly copyrighted, Dr. Doyle <'■! Sir Arthur, which he prefers not to be called) h;:s been a much abused man. Though Sherlock Holmes has not been bodily stolen, he has furnished many an author with a caricature. "The Adventures <>f Shylock Homes" Is one example. "Shedlock Holmes" is another. Not only hits ihe thing been done by writ* rs; the comic artists have freely appropriated the character. However, after all, the copying of the character in various guises lms only added to the fame of the original de tective, and now that l>r. Doyle has brought him hack to life and Is re ng his further adventures, he should not object in the least. Probably the most trying phase of the fame which has come to l>r. Doyle through Sherlock Holmes is the oft : suggestion sent to him by so licitous friends and admirers that he collaborate with his brother-in-law, E. W. Hornung, the creator of Raffles, the great criminal, on a story of crime and detection in which Holmes shall be pitted ;-..uains; Rffles. Dr. Doyle has received hundreds of times this same suggestion, and doubtless Mr. Horn ung has been offered the same idea more times than he wishes. A Modest Journalist. There will shortly begin serial pub lication in England and this country a remarkable series of papers called "The Confessions of a Journalist." The author of the article is unknown to anyone save his London agent This latter person explains that the au thor is a well known author of books and writer for the magazines, who, owing to the frankness of the confes sions, deems It wise to remain un known. We have had many confessions, many of them the products of fertile Imaginations, l>ui these papers are unique. The author .shows a remark able familiarity with affairs which in- I not only European readers but Americans as well. For example, one of his articles deals with his connec tion with the Spanish-American war. He makes tlm astounding claim that he brought the war on by cabling an Interview with a leading Frenchman on the subjeel to a leading: New York newspaper. In another article he at tempts to show that the election of Cardinal Gibbons to succeed Leo XIII. is the only sure way to continue the power of the Catholic church and to satisfy all of the warring factions in Europe. It is not at all unlikely that these confessions will create much talk in this country. They are written by a in.m who knows his subjects well no has an interesting inside story to tell in almost every case. A Hoosier Abroad. Mr. Booth Tarkington has decided to spend his summer in Europe this year. He will sail in the latter part of Juno, and as his father, mother and wife will accompany him, it is like ly that he does not plan anything more than a pleasure trip. If Mr. Talking!on does find time, however, to gather the material for another story like "Monsieur Beaucaire," he will be doing the reading public a great good service, for during the past five years no other book has appeared with the same charming qualities for making pli asant a couple of hours of a read er's time. His little story, "Cherry," Is to be brought out in book form this fall, but no long novel may be ex pected from his pen before next spring. A Guide to Fiction. Few men would dare attempt to pre pare a guide to books of fiction; Mr. Ernest A. Baker is an exception. He has not only attempted but he has also accomplished a difficult task. In a single volume he has compiled a mass of information about over 4,500 works of fiction printed in the English lan guage It is the first book of its kind and should be of much value to li brarians and writeis. If for nothing else it would be worth while if it pre vented the duplication of titles which is a common thing nowadays. A Newspaper Man's Success. Less than two years ago there ap peared a story of newspaper life call ed -The Great God Success," which was so much better than the general run of novels of the kind that readers began to wonder who the author might be. It did not develop until some months later that he was David Gra ham Phillips, and then came the un usual news that Mr. Phillips had left an editorial position on one of the New York papers which paid him $10,000 a year for the purpose of making his living writing books. Since he began the experiment, Mr. Phillips has made great strides; his last novel, "Golden Fleece." seems likely to place him in the front rank of the younger gen eration of American novelists. Mr. Phillips's identity in connection with the authorship of "The Great God Success" was suspected first because the author had been a little too faith ful to fact in one of the incidents of his story. His hero made a great hit with his employers and secured a "beat" over the rival papers in exactly the same manner as the author himself did several years ago. Besides writing novels, Mr. Phillips devotes much of his time in writing special articles for the magazines. He has for some years made millionaires a special study, and his "Confessions of a Croesus," on which he is now working, is a story which he has based very considerably on facts. In the cur rent number of Success, Mr. Phillips gives a study of American editors which is of more than usual interest to book readers, since, in large measure the men who make our magazines are the same men who publish our books "Instead of looking into a popular To accommodate those who are par tial to the use of atomizers in applying liquids into the nasal passages for catarrhal troubles, we prepare Cream Balm In liquid form, known as Ely's Liquid Cream Balm.

America's revolt, expressed in cheap and popular newspapers and maga zines, grew out of the very necessities of her condition. A great democracy must be educated, and a great democ racy craves education. It cannot read what it cannot understand; it cannot understand what is deliberately ad dressed to the few and interests only a few only, interesting them often be cause they fancy that interest in what is above the heads of the masses is a mark of superiority. Out of the need of education, out of the demand for education grow the high school of cheap newspapers and the college and university of cheap popular magazines. American newspapeis and magazines, not even in the old days when the newness or shallowness of culture caused many avowed minor writers to employ the affectations of involved Style and a muddy or cloudy thought, were never characterized by the plati tudinous, yawnsome ponderousness which deadens the great first-class magazine* and reviews of Great Brit ain and the continent. We never did deeply admire classes and reverence. We were always disposed to suspect that the stuff that clings to our bones is of the same consistency as the stuff of which stars and all things really or reputedly high are made. We nev er did buy many newspapers or maga zines or books to have "something to sleep over and to give us intellectual caste. We were ready, even impatient, for illustrated newspapers and illus trated magazines when they came. If the 'Edinboro' or the 'Quarterly,' when it can't get much word pictures as a Sidney Smith, a Macauley or a De Quincey could paint, would supply the lack with pictures, how they lighten the dreary pages of matter that is highly informative but extremely dif ficult to read in the pretentions and poverty-stricken language of Mr In tellectual Nobody. Here is a suggestion for the editors in-chief of some of our so-called "Sol id" magazines. I have in mind one which can present an apparently almost flawless title to being the oldest of our serious periodicals, and in its early days it was, with a brilliant relapse now and then, a mighty "serious" mat ter. It never smiled, if it could possibly avoid it. It was resolutely determined to convey information in a way which few cared about. Once in a while a real writer seoms to have "broken into it —possibly the dearth of real writers was in part responsible—but in the main it was possessed by men whose 'ideas hadn't caught up with their vo cabularies," as ex-Senator Jones, of Nevada, would say. "Respectability was its chief claim to consideration — respectability plus an occasional burst of almost apologetic timeliness or human interest. Whenever it became or showed signs of becom ing a magazine worthy of human be ing's while as'he sat in the lightning express that darts us from eternity to eternity, human beings showed their appreciation by buying it. Usually it remained unread and respectable a fit ornament for the center table of an unused library." BOOK NOTES. ofo "Ai V?

MOTHER IN DISTRESS CRIES FOR HER CHILDREN Heartrending Scene Enacted at Central Station, Where Mrs. James O'Donnell Goes in Search of Little Ones Who Had Been Taken Away by Their Father. "Oh, why did they take my darlings away?" cried Mrs. O'Donnell, a dress maker, residing at 48 West College avenue, last night in distress. "My children! How am I to get them back?" She wept, and sobbed, and pleaded to have her children restored to her. She had called at the Central police sta tion in the hope of recovering her chil dren. To a Globe representative last night she gaid, amid sobs and tears: "I left my little boy of seven and my little girl of three with Mrs. Klom stead, 327 East Rose street, April 1, and I paid their expenses up to last Friday, and when I went to see them tonight and to pay for their board they were gone. Oh, my darlings, how can I get them back?" The agitated woman was unable to proceed; her grief overcame her. "I went there today to see my chil« dren.

Special to The Globe. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 26. — There is great rejoicing in the office of the American Protective Tariff league, in New York. It has com pelled President Roosevelt to change front on the question of tariff revision and it is now boasting of its achieve ment. It is no exaggeration to say that the most powerful instrument in this country today for the molding of pub lic sentiment is the organization of manufacturers which bear that name. The American Protective Tariff league defeated the Cuban reciprocity legis lation of the first session of the Fif ty-seventh congress, emasculated the Cuban reciprocity treaty ratified at the last session and will attempt at the next session to further negative that treaty. It has thus far prevented the ratification of the reciprocity treaties negotiated by Mr. Kasson. It has corn batted the "lowa idea," so successfully that President Roosevelt, who started out with a declaration that he would "stand pat" on the McKinley policies, which included reciprocity, has now concluded to "stand pat" with the high tariff faction of his party. This league has a membership of 1,000, including some of the most prominent manu facturers of iron, steel, cotton goods, woolen goods, hosiery, gloves, varnish, silks, etc., in the entire country. The 1,000 members pay in years when important elections are on, a mini mum annual assessment of $100 each. This minimum fund of $100,000 each is swelled by additional contributions as the occasion demands. The object of the American Tariff league is to create sentiment in this country favorable to the maintenance of the protective tar iff and to prevent the abatement of ex isting tariff rates. It is the personifi cation of the "stand pat" idea. It op poses the crossing of a t, the dotting of an i, or the changing of a punctu ation mark in the existing tariff law. The league effects its purposes and ac complishes its object of molding public sentiment by working upon the read ers of the country through the master ful system of newspaper syndicates. It boasts that the combined circula tion per week of the newspapers using the editorials and other matter sent out by the league was 6,000,000. Ap proximately that represents 24,000,000 readers per week. All this matter is sent out in stereotyped form and free to the papers desiring to use it. Besides this the league publishes a weekly paper called the American Economist, which is sent out to all the leading papers of the country and has a circulation of more than 14,000 per week. It voices the most intelligent thought on the tariff question from the standpoint of protection, and its sophistries are reproduced as editorials in many of the leading papers of the nation. From the above can be gathered an idea of the immense engine used by the protective tariff interests of the country to keep the people fooled and believing that they are getting some benefit from the system of protection. If the people were getting the ben efit and not the special interests, does any sane man suppose those interests would contribute $3 00,000 a year to keep up the protection wall? Is not this sufficient evidence to the people of the country that they are being bled and robbed by this set of men and spe cial interests putting up the money to keep them hoodwinked by making them believe that protection is helping them and the country? What more do they want? The Democratic party panders to no special interests whose profits are made by robbing the people and there fore it has no propaganda and no money to establish one by which its ideas of good government can be con stantly pounded into the people. If the Democratic party could have had even 1,000 papers for the past ten years exposing the fallacies of high protec tion, the farmers of the country, who suffer most from this one-sided game, would' today be almost unanimous in their opposition to protection. We have no fountain of wealth niched from the pockets of the people from which to draw and therefore the peo ple do not get the truth. They get only the honeyed sophistries from an organized band of public plunderers and go on "letting well enough alone" until the band is bursting with boodle. "When the members are gorged and get to quarreling among themselves as they are now doing then the ptople will begin to get a glimpse of the truth. It remains to be seen how much longer the people will stand for this sort of thing and be beguiled by this Amer ican Protective Tariff league. It got them to pass the McKinley and Ding ley bills with which to abstract money from their pockets, it defeated the Cu ban reciprocity measure and now it has scared the president of the United States by threatening to defeat him unless he abandoned the "lowa idea" and stands for all they desire in the way of high protection. The people can stop it, but the probability is they won't until their bellies become empty. A few days ago I called to the atten tion of a United States senator who had taken a deep interest in the pas sage of the so-called Philippine tariff bill that died a natural death at the hands of the senate during the short session, the fact that the president in his Minneapolis speech had made the statement that the Democrats of the senate were primarily responsible for the defeat of that bill, and had spoken of it as a distinctively humorous side to the defeat of the bill that men who believed in a reduction of the tariff had opposed this reduction. I was told by this senator that the president was in error in making any such statement. He said that there ■svere only three Democrats in the en tire senate who opposed the pas of the bill and that all those who ex pressed themselves on the measure were in favor of its passage as the best they could gpt, though they all favor ed absolute free trade with those Is lands. He said that the truth of the matter is that the bill was defeat* >l by the friends of the administration. If they had pressed the bill any time dur ing the latter part of last January it could have been passed, but they were so intent on defeating statehood for the territories asking to come in and which they had promised should i in, that they were unwilling in i-.J • any chances on a vote on the b^£ They postponed consideration until the very last day of the session when the opposition of any one man is fatal to any bill, and both the friends and the enemies of the bill knew this. The bill died of neglect, if not worse, at the hands of its pretended friends and the president of the United States is guilty of perverting history for the sake of a finely turned sentence in a speech. The postoffice investigation is still in progress, but since the return of the postmaster genera] a padlock has been placed on the mouths of all his subor dinates. The chances"are that the only way the people of the country will ever get a look at the results of this investigation is by congressional de mand, and that demand will not be made by a Republican congress.
