There has been laid before the ttoman Oatho

ty of Our Lady ot Compassion, which hai It
hoadqunrters In tho Church of 8U Sulplco, Parle,
and for Its object the conversion of Kngjand to

iginated with Cardinal Vaughnn, Archbishop ot
Wcstmlnstor, who laid the matter before Pops
Leo XIII. about n. year ago. After careful do- I
liberation, nnd af tor calling into consultation the i
Archbishops of Paris nnd of Autun, tho Pope

special services to be held In St, Sulplce, Parts,
to formally Inaugurato tho organlcatlon of the

Cardinal Vaughan has just Issued a pastoral
letter, which wns read In all Homan Cathollo

describes tho Inauguration of the Arthconfra

rhnnnii and Actively Alienated Ills AflVctlon.
The Judgment giving Mrs. Mnrgorct P. Bu
chanan $50,000 dnmagOB against Ivnto M. Fos
ter for the alienation of the affections of Dr.
Alexander Buchn'nan has been set nsldo by tho
Appcllato Division of tho Supremo Court,
which ordors a new trial. Dr. Buchanan hnd
given property worth nbout 9100.000 to tho
Widow Foster In his Ilfo. and also mido large
prculslon for her In his will. Tho unanimous
opinion of thn Appellate Division says:
"The mere fact that tho husband maintains
improper relations with tho defendant and re
mains nwny from his family docs not seem to bo
sufficient to support tho action. Thore must bo
somo active Interference upon tho part of tho
defendant. Tho fac that n woman Is attractive
nnd submissive Is not sufficient. There must bo
somo evldonro from which tho conclUB'on can bo
drawn thnt sho was the pursuer and not merely
the pursued.
"Throughout the wholo of the complaint the
nctlvo efforts of tho defendant for Iho purpose
of nlienatlngthc nffcctlnns of tbo husband and
Inducing him to ill-treat his fnmllv. and for tho
purpose of obtMntng possession of his property
nro alleged. Thcro Is no proof whatever con
tained in the record to support these allegations.
The most that can he adduced from tbo ovldcnco
olTered upon tho trial (much of which was en
tirely Improper nnd Incompetent) Is that Dr.
Buchanan did leave his family and did associate
with tho defendnnt. But there la no evldnnco
from which a jury could he nuthorlrcd to And
thnt nny criminal Intercourse existed be
tween them prior to tho commencement of tho
action. It must bo borno In mind In consider
ing the evidence that the charges which wero
made and which It was necessary to prove is
against the defendnnt Involved moral turpitude,
nnd no presumptions of guilt nrn to hr Indulged
In unless tho fncts shown nre Inconsistent with
innocence. AH through tho trial of this
ensn It would seem to havo been the Idos. which
pulded the admission of evidence thnt Dr.
Buchnnnn wns nlsn upon trial nnd thnt his doc
Inrntlons wero evldonce ngnlnst the defendant."
Th court says It cannot see bow tho will of
Dr. Buchanan, lcnvlngmost of hisestate to Mrs.
Foster, was relevant because It was not shown
thnt she hnd anything to do with making the
provisions of tho will.

Brier Reviews of Important and Intrmtlna;
Men rnblleatlena,
In "Tho Ring's Daughter and the King's
Bon," by Agatha Archer (Fowler & Wells Co.),
we have a story that Is told directly and with an
air of candor. When the phrase maker Invented
thn expression, "refreshing candor," ho paid to
candor a compliment that Is not too great for It,
This story seems like a real experience, and It Is
only by a stretch of the Imagination that It can
be made to seem, as a sub-tttlo calls It, "a fairy
tale of to-day." It is roally a novel, but, be
ing direct and candid, It is quite different
from tho novel that Is rcgulntod by art.
It begins. Indeed, in (he form nf a fairy tale.
"I will begin my story by saying that my
heroine, Una Hope, had a noble mother and a
chlldllko father." Tho practiced novelist of to
day, having no Idea of a fairy tale In his mind,
would never begin in this way. He would say
tohlmsolti "Of course. It will bo seen thai I be
gin it so; therefore I do not need to say it." And
thinking blmsolf clever, ho would omit the "I
will begin," Miss Archer follows her herolno
through hor entire psychical development. She
narrates how, as n child, Una threw her fathor's
plpo and tobacco out of tho window, because
her mother disapproved of srooko; how, in tho
light of hor mother's explanation, she percelvos
that it was wrong to lock up the oat in the but
tery; nnd how, when sho had covortly token a
strawberry from a pan in tho cellar, sho con
fessed tho net to hor mother Immediately on be
ing questioned. Things that sho heard sank
doop Into Una's mind, and she hnd a rcma k
ablo Intuition that saved her from many dan
gers. "Do not make yourself too cheap, little
girl," tho rector said to hor, and sho never mar
ried Robert Rupert, who classified things and
compllod data In a museum ot nntural history.
"Cllvo mo a kiss. Miss Hope." Ruport said to
her ono night whon ho had escortod her home.
"No! Good night, Mr. Rupert," she rcpllod,
and sho ran up the steps and rang tho bell
with great decision. Sho was older when she
mot Col. Doubleday at tho seashore. Tbo
Colonel wns employed in somo Government
ofllco In Washington. Ho was bandBomo and a
philosopher. Ho quotod pootry with great
facility and aptness. Genoral opinion nt tho
seashore declared of theColonol: "He's a howl
ing swoll." Ho wnsaflnobnther. Hoapprovod
of Una. Ono day, the Btory says, "tho Colonol
came up suddenly out ot tho water and sat down
beside hor. She smiled nnd bowed. 'Where
havo you boen 1 I hive beon looking for you,
ho said gently, bending over her. Thcsq words
Bink deep Into tbo heart of tho child
woman." They took sun baths together
and plnyod croquet, nnd tho Colonel dazzled
her w Itb his boauty, philosophy and quotations.
Una by this tlmo had come to bo a pretty effi
cient conversationalist, too. She said vory clover
things to tho Colonol concerning Imitation
Wedgwood pottory. Her Intuitions saved her,
for tho Colonol was superficial and a flirt.
Always when her emotions were strongly
arousod sho went away to Bit down and think.
Sho thought the Colonel out of hor heart and
brought a mora mature experlonco to tho case
of Raymond Knight, a middle-aged man, tall
and well proportioned, an expert examiner of ma
chinery for a firm ot Instrument makers. There
can be no aoubt that sho frightened Knight.
The troublo with htm was that ho would not try
to understand mystlo philosophy. Ho was pain
fully unrcccptlvo to tho Idea of Imagination as
tho highest form of Mind. Ho seemed to bo un
able to Interest himself in tho Feminine- Prin
ciple and tho Woman Soul. Una insisted upon
a recognition ot these things. Sho wrote him
an essay utterly upsotting tho philosopher
Bucchner. She gavo him Browning and Emer
son a-plenty, nnd mado him very fldgoty. Once
when ho got cross and Inquired how sho know
something that she had said to him, she replied
that a man named St. John had said it- Sho
sent him poems by Richard Watson Gilder and
stories b Richard Harding Davis, which ho
read dutifully and returned with comments
going to show that his soul had not boon
ponctratcd by tbem. It will bo seen that Una
had undergone a very great mental and spirit
ual development since her affairs with Robert
Rupert and Col. Doubleday. But sho was not
able to transform the nature of Knight, Ho re
mained a mere expert examiner of machinery.
It was impossible, oven with the aid of tho poets
and tho short story writers, to fill him with the
light that never was. He grew peovleh and
finally called Una an old maid. She renounced
him after he had renounced her. Sho thought
long and deeply, as her habit was. Finally
from tho silences the approving admonition
came to her: "Keep thee to-day, to-morrow,
forever, free as sn Arab of thy be
loved." Sho understood. "To be worthy of my
friend I niUBt bo able to do without my friend,''
she said, and she dismissed the hope to bo mar"
rlod from her heart forthwith. It will be seen
from this that the story Is really no fairy tale.
It Is a candid account of a soul chastened and
. purified, and permitted, through ceaseless denial
and endeavor, to rise to the supreme consolttion
of philosophy. If Knight could have been
brought to tho same pass, that would have been,
of course, a double triumph; but he was plainly
n porson upon whom tho blessings of Imagination
could novcr descend.
It is good to read a woll-told story of a gallant
captain of the Bea, and In "Commodore Bain
bridge From the Gunroom to the Quarter
Deck," by James Barnes (D. Apploton & Co.),
we have a story of tho sort told In tbo most
readable and vivid way. There aro good rea
sons why Mr. Barnos should bo possessed of ac
curate Information regarding his subject, and
we do not doubt that this Is a Just as well as a
spirited picture. It shows us Balnbridge as a
boy living with bis grandfather in a New Jersey
town, aud at many Interesting points of his
career afterward. We see him at 15
aboard the packet ship Ariel, Capt. Wal
dron, sailing out of Philadelphia. There he
Is Boon discovered to be a likely youngster.
Beforo tbo Ariel Is four weeks out he can lay
along tho yard with the best of them, and his
quick Intelligence has sorved blm so well that
ho Is no longer accounted a green hand. For
three years ho sailed with Capt. Wnlclron, and
wonoxtsoohlm at 18 ns first mate of the ship
Cantor, sailing In tho Holland trade. Hero, as
noon as ho Is aboard, he tames a drunken nnd
insolent crew, confiscating their whiskey bottles
nnd tossing tbom overboard without ceremony.
Mr. Barnes describes htm at this tlmo as & feet
11 in height, weighing 180 pounds, broad In the
shoulders and deep in the chest, tremen
dously Etrong in the arms and back, and
looking flvo years oldor than his citual
age, Capt. Stebblns of tho Cantor is a man of
unlmposing character, and his crcv are ready
to takendvautageof him, but w' the appear
anco ot Bulnbrldgo tbey nro quick to suspeot, in
their own significant phrase, that there is "an
officer on board." They are made sure of It in
Rotterdam later, where they got drunk and
oorpower the CapMIn and second mate, and
whero Balubrldi onus upon tbem unex
pectedly, knocking tbem right and left with a
pnlrot heavy pistols, and subdues tbem almost
single-handed. At 10 Balnbridge is a full-fledged
commander, A little later we soe him euccemf ill
ly protecting bis ship, the Hopo, against the Brit
ish war schooner Linnet, which has attempted
to stop and board him In pursuance of tho then
formldnblo doctrlno of "the right of search."
Thon wo have a love story, involving the cir
cumstances of Balnbrldge's mnrrlago; then the
Incidents of bis experience In the course of our
trouble with Franco, and then the nnrratlve of
the wholo exciting business at Tripoli. It all
reads like a story, though It Is largely history.
It is admirably told. The boys will read it
with avidity, and will thank Mr. Barnes for
it If tbey remouiber their manners. The book Is
very Interestingly Illustrated by Gcorgo Glbbs
and others.
If bo) s nowadays are gifted with an under
standing equal to that which distinguished boys
u few years ngo tbey will welcome the reappeui
ance of Capt. Mayne Held In the series of his
best storks which tbo Putnami are now pub
lishing. Tho "Nitnrod Edition," it is called, and
that memorable talc, "The Boy Hunters," leads
tho list ot the good things that will appear) It.
Let the unfortunatos who have neter listened
to tbo niaglo ot the Captain's narrative uiuke
the acquaintance hero of Basil and Lclcn and
Francois and be happy, Tbeso boys went forth
txam their home on the lower UlstUtlpnl la
7
search of white buffalo. It ts hardly neces
sary to say that they found him; and It may
even be superfluous to remark that they had
adventures on the way. Tho book Is hand-"
somely printed and Is enlivened by Illustrations.
From tho fact that tho poem "Thrco Women"
W. H. Conkey Company) is mitten by tho dis
tinguished author of "Poemn of Passion."
"Poems of Pleasure," &c, tho reader will not
unnaturally expect It to deal In fulness and
contldeinblo detail with tho art and mystery
of lovo. It Is a fnct that the poets of all ages
have said a good drnl about love, nnd we hasten
to state that, in this Instance, Mrs. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox has in no way overlooked tho Import anco
of this sentiment in Its hcarlnr on our everyday
affairs. In fact, if wo were to hazard n criticism
It would bo to tho effect that theso passionate
persons who figure in horpoctio drama seem to
attach almost too much Importance to what,
after nil, Is but a part and not tho whole of ex
istence. Kvcn Nature herself throws aside that
admirable restraint that makes her companion
ship so soothing to persons of a contcmplntlvo
cast of mind, and. In these pages, seems to gur
gle nnd gasp a good deal, as if under tho power
ful Influence of what tho young women novel
ists delight to write of ns tho primal instincts.
That plcasnnt watorway, Long Island Sound, Is
not frco from tho spoil, and is thus plcturod by
Maurice, a pneslonnte poet who plays a prom
inent part In this drama In rerset
The ocean seems always stern, mascntlne, bold.
The Sound Is a woman, now warm snd now cold.
It rites In fury and threatens to smite,
Then falls at your feet with a eon of dellfbti
Capricious, seductive, first frowning, then smiling.
And alwajs. whatever Its mood Is, beguiling;.
An October day Is "luscious and warm, liken
woman of thirty," while Now York cl y In tho
boat of summer Is shown. In a somewhat mixed,
yet nono the less ingontous, metaphor, as rioting
llkearoystcrlngsorvant girl whoso mistress is
away from homo.
She entertains friends from all parts of the earth I
Her streets are alive with a fictitious mirth.
Bhe flaunts her best clothes with a devll-may-oare
Bort or look, and her parks wear a rloto'is air.
There Is something unwholesome about her at dusk
Her trees and her rsrUens seem scented with rauiki
And you fiet she has locked up the door of the house
And, half drunk with the heat, wanders forth to
carouse,
With virtue, ambition andinduttry all
Tacked off (moth protected) with garments for f alL
Even tho merry little sparrows join In the
great carnival of unrestrained affection, and we
los.rn that on a certain May morning in Control
Park
Among the green botnehs
The unabashed city birds plighted their tows.
Maurice, the passionate poet, whose namo
rhymes with "police," aud whoso other namo Is
Somcrvlllo, seems to typify the ultimato triumph
of tho intellectual over tho emotional Bide of
human nature. Having failed to win tho nffec
tlon of tho womnn he loved, he retired to a lonely
turret by tho ehorcs of Long Islnnd Sound.
Hero ho unburdened his bosom and poured out
his heart in a series of highly colored songs.
Alsoho dreamt dreams and put them into verso
next morning,
lu a dream
Uethought my ladje rested by a stream
Which rippled through the verdure ot a delL
She lay like Evet dear Qod I darn not tell
Of her perfections i of the glow and gleam
Of tinted flc-tb and undulating hair,
Of sudden thtjrh and sweetly rounded breast.
Then, like a cloud. As came, from Ood knows where.
And oa her cyos and mouth mad kisses pressed.
Ho, the man who, in tho vision, enruo from
God knows where and boh cvod with such un
pardonable rudoncss, was tbo poet's rival, a
cynical person who in the end received a pun
ishment tbnt he In every way deserved.
But of all the persons of the play, by far tho
most passlonato was Mrs. Zoo Travcra, a w idow
from thn West. "With tho soul of a Sappho
she lit od llkoanun," and Bhe found it difficult.
Everything seems to have spoken to her of
lovo, and even the nolsos Incidental to rcsldonco
in the insufficient isolation of n New York
aoartmont houso wore most disturbing.
The medley of sounds hurt her ear.
Suddrn laughter the cry of an tnfmnti the splash
Of a tenant below In hts bathtunt the? crash
Of strong hands on a keyboard above, and the light.
Merry voice of the ladr who lived opposite.
Theso things were naturally trying, and It Is
not to bo wondered at that, on the ndvlco of the
lady who lived opposite, tho widow should havo
sought tho distractions offered by some seaside
summer resort, and. In tbo end, have como
hopelessly to grlof. The lady who lived op
posite wns, by the way, a not uninteresting
little porson, " Her infantile fnco hid a mercan
tile mind," and her very words clinked llko
small chnngo In a well-filled purse. To the Im
aginative ear tbcre was tho crlnkloof the newly
minted dollar bill In tho rustlo of hor silken
skirt, nnd It Is safe to assume that In her caso
any tendency toward the exhibition of uncon
trolled emotion wns tempered with an admira
ble prudenco and regulated by a well developed
business Instinct. This blitho person is. bow
over, but a flitting figure, seen for a moment
against the darker background of tho drama of
passion and involved Intrigue. At Narrngan
sett Pier tho Western widow, clnd somewhat
Insufficiently In a clinging gown of wot white
silk, had a chanco meeting with tbo cynio In
the surf, and tho meeting led to entirely rep
rehensible results. The two other women of
the play wero scarcely less unfortunate Ono
who wns of a cold and sluggish temperament,
by hor unremitting dovotlan to good works,
drove her husband Into tbo arms of tbo widow.
Ab Mrs. Wilcox sagaciously observes:
Thero aro women so terribly free from all evil
They dJscourago a rasn and be goes to the devlh
The third woman was of a mild and thoroughly
domestlo disposition. She misplaced her affec
tions nnd rrmnlnrd absolutely good nnd uni
formly unhapprtotbeend. The passionate poet
devoted his life to the writing or inflammatory
verso and tonstudyof tho needs of tho deserving
poor: the cynic was shot In the breast by tho
widow, nnd, though presumably suffering great
pain, ho described the unfortunato occurrence
with admirable succinctness.
We parted. This bullet hole hero in my breast
Proceed with the story and tells you the rest.
Bhe smiled, I remember, In saying adleui
Then two swift, sharp reports and I woke In Belle
tlew. He lived to linger on In slow repentance, nnd
ot them all tbo only person who seems to havo
had a good time was the wicked widow. She,
hpwevrr, locd not wisely, but too well, nnd po
cllc justice demanded that sho should shoot her-sc-lfin
tbolnstact. It Is possible that tbo poem
will bring homo to tho roider tho fact that. In
spite of nil that poets may have said or sung,
lovo Is not ovcrythlng. Ho may, perhaps, re
member that even Mr. Swinburne, who,
In the mad, glad days of early youth,
sang somewhat unrestrainedly, has sometimes
turned, In later years, to other things. Patriot
ism, polltltB evon tho pink toes of an Innocent
babe have each in turn Inspired him. But
lovo, oven if not ever thing, Is undoubtedly a
good ileal; nnd Mrs, Wilcox may bo congratu
lated upon the fact that sho has certainly
treated tho subject In n very thorough and at
the samo tlmo a very cntortalnlng manner.
Mr. R. P. Brorup, a Chicago poet who pub
lishes a volume of verso under tho title ot
"Truth and Poetry " (International Book Com
pany, Chicago, lit.) does not conflno his atten
tion to any one particular subject, nor does his
demure and decorous muse move him to medl
tato unduly upon the delights and miseries of
love. Ho chooses rather such themos ns tho
musloof tho human heart, tho voyageof life, and
also eouie of the Incidental advantages of vege
tnrlanlsm nnd total abstinence, Tho ingenious
Mr, Shaw of London, who writes astonishing
plays nnd who, In tbo columns of a weekly
paper, sometimes says very unkind things
nbout Shakespeare, has stated the fact that
ho attributes much of tho brilliancy ot
his own Intellectual work to the rlrcuin
stunce that he abstains from the uso of alco
hol and roast moats. But it Is highly Im
probable that either Shakespeare or Mr. Shaw
could have written anything like the poem
In which Mr. Brorup denounces the demon
drink, or that In which he decries man's
iniquitous practice of laj lug Innocent animals
for tbo purpose ot providing himself with food.
AuuV vjttuttioulatloa of Uia arlll attendant
upon tbo abuse of alcohol, aa Mr. Brorup sets
' them forth, might possibly make any Inebriate
pause nnd consider, while Id a poem entitled
"The Sacrifice" It Is conclusively proven that
no poet or man of feeling is Justified In slaying
his own pet lamb for the more satisfying of his
own Inordinate appetite.
She was not my ewe Iamb, and none bestds her,
That drank of my cup and ate of my hand.
Dot she was a gentle little creature,
As any one may understand.
Drought np with thtt pettlih oars.
Common enough on a farm,
Where the creatures will. In a measure, share
The Ufa ot the farmer and foar no harm.
We will not unnecessarily harrow the reader
by quoting nil the details of tho sacrifice. Ills
sufficient to say that tho poet slew the gentle
creature, and that ho seeus to be sincerely sorry
that he did so.
Hut who will offer It thought er ears
While at his cannlballitlo feast?
It Is only the cold met for his share.
As though there were neither God nor Priest.
Tho fnct that there II only cold meat for the
share of tho cnnnlballstlo toaster upon pet lamb
Is satisfying to our sense of justice. But it Is
not altogether oasy to understand.
Even tho render least learned in these mat
ters knows thnt, as a rule, thero are chops.
Sometimes also hash succulent nnd satisfying
and fortlflod upon occasion by theaddltlon of the
stimulative grcon pepper. Those, howevor, nre
more details. Tho main point seems to bo that
tho poet should stick to tho pon, nnd
never, under nny circumstances, wlold the
poleaxo. Wo think thnt no one will quostlon
tho stntoment thnt a man of kindly focllngs and
of scnsltlvo nature should novor have been
placed in Mr. Brorup's unfortunate predicament.
Perhaps It would bo well to avoid all risk ot
ministering to tho nppetlto at tho exponso of tho
tenderer footings by fixing our affections only
upon such pets as, under ordlnnry circum
stances, are not ediblo. Parrots, for example,
or poodlo dogs.
