"Winter Novels and "What Their
Readers Say.
"Herdy's 'Far from the Madding Crowd'
la away above the average ruu of novels," said
Mint Rachel* laying dowu the latest addition to
Henry Holt A Co.'a "LeisureHour Series;" "bat I
should as Boon think of comparing l)ryden to
Shakespeare as to compare this volume to Ueorge
Eliot. The l.uudou Spectator, 1 believe, said, in
revlewlnt; the opening chapters of the book, that
11 it was 'not written by Ueorge EUot, then there
Is a new liutit among novelists.' Thomas Hardy la
a new light among novelista, that is a fact. It Is
rarely that we And aa good character painting aa
that in 'Far irom the Muddlng Crowd.' "
"It la a beauiiiul story," remarks tellcia; "I
can scarcely imagine a woman like liathaheba;
bnt I auppoae there are snch In the world?vain,
weak and cruel. What t'.ere was about her to win
the hearts of three men I cannot understand.
Uer beauty could not have completely hidden her
glaring faults."
"Bathsheba begins well," puts In Fred, who sat
up all night reading the book; "bnt X don't like
her aa she grows older. She is just the sort of
woman 1 should want to strangle or marry."
"perhaps both." suggests Miss Rachel.
"It seems to me," contiuues Fred, without no
ticing the Interruption, "that Hardy gets one
worked up for a climax when there IB none com
ing.' For Instance, when sergeant Troy goes to
aleep under the waterspout in the churchyard It
la only natural to suppose that the rushing stream
would drown him. Alter a page and a half of
description it is a little disappointing to have it
all end in a lew flowers being washed off a grave.
1 think that Hardy missed a good point there."
"I can understand very well why Bathsheba did
not want to marry Boldwood. good, kind fellow
though ho was," aays Felicia, "Gabriel Oak
lacked anap ana Troy alter all was more the man
to wia such a woman. He just loved her enough
to make his courting agreeable, although I must
acknowledge that he was an unworthy wretch,
with a heart that would have shamed an honest
chicken."
?"You must not Bpeak slightingly of Gabriel Oak,"
said Miss Rachel; "he la the best character in the
book. 1 love that man for his perlect unselfishness
aud for his coolness under the moat provoking
circumstances. He was forty times too good lor
Bathsheba; she had no idea of his worth. The
only weak point In his character was his love lor
her. Poor Gabriel I 1 wish Fate had been kinder
with Dim than to have placed his happiness in
that woman's keepln?."
some of the dramatis persona in this book are a
little tiresome; but, taken as a whole, the story Is
powerful and delicate, too. By long odds, it Is, 30
;far, the novel of the season.
A FOREGONE CONCLUSION.
"If any one should ask me how I thought Mr. W.
D. Ho wells wrote," said Felicia's father, the Doc
tor, "I should say under a microscope. His books
impress me like the finest sort of miniature paint
ing, which, although beautiful art, is not so pleas
ing as a few bold stroxes that give the same
effect."
"Mr. Howei.s' men and women," adds Felicia,
??don't seem like real flesh and blood. In 'A.
Foregone Conclusion' (James R. Osgood A Co.),
which we have all been reading, there la not a
character that suggests any one la real HI*. Mra.
? Vervain, innocent, addle-pated creature that she
was, la the most natural chaiacter In the book.
^Florida Vervain is an impossible creature, and
Henry Ferris, although evidently a pet of the
writer, lacks backbone and is often very ungentle
manly." '
1 "In any other bands Don Ippoilto would be ex
ceedingly Interesting," says Miss Ractiel, "but
Mr. Howells has made him too weak and maud It n.
It waa not at all unnatural that he should have
fallen iu love with the pretty American; that waa
a foiegone conclusion, as well aa the love of Fer
ns. By the way, ao you notice how Florida is
described as a rather homely girl; but Mr. Howelia
calls her a beauty. Pale, cheeks with a sugges
tion of freckles, and eyeiaanes 'touohed with the
faintest red' is certainly not an attractive descrip
tion."
"My dear girls, you are altogether too fault 11 nd
lng," says the Doctor, rebaklngly; "you should be
aelighted to get hold of a novel written in hucu
good English. It certainly is reiresntng nowadays.
I cannot aay that I think Mr. Howells a genius, hut
be Is a very talented man, and his verses particu
larly are aa dainty as a new blown rose."
"Did you leel, lather, that you had been reading
a novel wlien you finished ?A Foregone Conclu
sion ?' "
"Hardly that, Felicia." the Doctor responded;
"yet the story is very pretty. Neither the 'Wed
diugJournev' nor 'venitian Life' can be called
novels, although 'A Foregone Conclusion1 is more
like one than are the other two. 1 read Mr.
Howells more for his language than for his story,
lor bis plots do not amount to a row
oi plus. Tney are luerely the irame
work upon whlcn he rears a graceful structure.
On the other hand, one ol the most thoughtiul
men 1 know told me that he read this book aloud
to his lainliy, and tney all thought that parts of It
St least equalled 'Ueorge Kllot' lu psychological
insight and knowledge oi human nature."
"THE LILY AND THE CROSS."
Felicia was surprised upon reading "The Lily and
the Cross" (Lee A sshepard) to find so much good
lu it she had oeen told that l>e Mllle had ground
himself out oi late, and she was prepared lor some
thing very poor. To be anre Professor De Aiille
has never equalled Ills "Dodge Cluo." but his latest
efforts have not been at all in that line. "The
Lllv and the Cross," as Felicia told Miss Rachel, is
a very pretty little story or American llie during
toe reign of King ueorge IV. Tne plot is
not bad, and although some or the
character painting Is weak the story Is woitli
reading, l'he scene la laid in Acadia, partly aboard
a schooner and partly at Loulsbourg, a French
Canadian settlement. Claude Motler, the hero, res
cues irom a watery grave Mima de Laborde, the
heroine, who, with iter lather, the Cohnt de Cnze
neau, Mima's maid and two sailors are loond Host
ing out to sea upou a rait. They were wrecked
wnile sailing luto port from France. Onboard
the schooner which rescued them were Pfere Micuel,
a Koinau Catholic priest; Zac, tue skipper, aud the
regular seamen. Now, It fell out that Claude
Motler was a noble Frenchman, Count de Montr?
sor, and the old Count de Laoordo was his latner's
enemy and De cazeneau was the enemy of both.
Tue lather oi Claude waa supposed to be dead, but
eventually came to light in tne person of Pfere
Michel. Claude and Mima fail in love with
each other, He Cazeneau tried to separate
them and the good old prleat, unknown to his
sou, aida ntm in freeing himaelf from the tolla of
the wary Count, old Laborde dies ana Mima is
leit alone. Claude steals her away and gets
locked up in consequence, in the sequel right
triumphs over might, the priest declares himself
and the brave young couple are liappiiy married.
The story abounds in hairbreadth 'scapes and ad
ventures generally.
OENTIANELLA.
"Here Is a novel high flown enough for the
most romantic school girl," remarka Mias Rachel,
taking up "Gentlaneila" (Porter A Coates), by
Mra. Randolph. "I don't believe that you, Felicia,
old novel reader that you are, csui quite stand
this volume." _ ,,
"1 have just finished the book," replies Felloia,
with a guilty smile, "and must acknowledge that
It la a little beyond my endurance. The first chap
ter is enough to stamp the book. I cannot
imagine why an author wants to name a heroine
Muriel Vavaaour. A girl with auch a name de
serves to have hair *of the hue ot ilax, with the sun
shining ou and through it, a small, straight, del
icate noae, exquisitely curved lips of a deep coral,
contrasting with pearly teeth, and lastly, deeply,
darkly, gloriously blue eyes' ana *a glorious iresh
young voice.' 1 think the writer oi this volume is
well versed in the language of gush."
"i'lils is not a baa idea," says Miss Rachel,
glancing through the pagea of the book, "to make
this silly Mra Vavasour ao Identify herself with
a character in tne novel she is readiug that sue
speaks and acts like the heroine. The way she
named her children niter characters ol romance
and alter tlieir rich relations also Is a little
lunny?Krmyntrude Unliy and St. Clair Jehosha
pliat, going altogether by their second names
when the atoresaid relations were around."
"You never read such a romantic story,
interrupts Felicia. "The hero, Stephen Lorn
oard, wno is supposed to lie souie gypsy's offspring
is I he long-lost ueir of a noble house. Beiore his
true position Is discovered he becomes engaged to
Muriel, tatnlltarly called La Gentlaneila, nut wno

??Stuff, 1 ahould call that," remarks Miss Rachel?

The Docron (whose indignation has reached the
boillug point)?l'tie man who wrote that book
was uever in America and never saw an American
lauy in his lite. His ideas are probably taken irotn
what he has heard ol tne >ew hngland housewife,
aud be imagines that she is the type of American
womanhood. With a shake of disgust the Doctor
put on his overcoat and bat and set out upon his
morning rouuds.
Felicia?l do not wonder that father was in
dignant. He believes as I do, tbat American
women are tne tinest in the world, and
It makes him angrv to have them written 1
about in that lguorant way. But as for the
story. Valeutine anu Von Ualden w.iuld have

much, for he bad a noble heart beneath all his j
roughness. His housekeeper can hardly be blamed

enougu for her conduct lu withholding Blanche's

conventional and not end his story like every i

"TEN DAYS IN SPAIN."
Alter so much romance it Is pleasant to turn to
: real life, aud we will lend a listening ear to wnat
; our friends have to say about Miss Kate Field's
I "leu Days In Spain.*' (James H. Osgood A Co.) I
| Miss Rachel (Irom her corner by tne hrej?1
wish that Kate field had made It twenty instead
oi ten days in Spain; 1 am perfectly delighted
with this little bouk ot hers. How new she makes
the old scenes appear, and how mucb she oiten

The 'Doctok?Miss Field is certainly a clever
writer. I don't know when 1 bave enjoyed a book
more than tbis. I commenced reading It this
morning bnd almost torgot one oi my best

get so tired of loug-winued books of travel, that
arc more guidebook and history tnan anything
else, that n is a great pleasure to couie across a
volume of persoual experiences iu travel.
Felicia? I should tlunk that the Blinker would
bave set Miss Field crazy. 11 she hadn't such a
well-balanced mind she would have been a raving
lunatic after two days' experience with tbat ex
asperating man. 1 envy her ber sigutseelng and
her independence. To think that sue saw a real
bull fight?how dreadfully fascinating. 1 wish Mr.
Barnutn would get up a bull flgbt at tbe Hippo
drome; perhaps he would if It was suggested to
him.
Frrd (Irom between the covers of tne book) ?
Miss Field dips into politics as gracefully as into
bull fights. She seems to take In tbe situation of
Spain at a glance.

THE CROKER CASE
The Jury Disagrees and llie Prisouer h Re
manded to Cuitcdy.
HOW THE JURY STOOD
At a* early an hour as half-past nine o'clock',
aud spite of it being Sunday, that portion of
Cbamoerj-treet opposite the New Court House
i e?au to till up wi'h those who hail been at
tracted to the trial of the Coroner. Kotlilng
could have been more conclusive as to the
public interest lclt iu that trial. A posse ot
j Policemen iroiu the City Hall precinct were
already at the doors of tUe Court House,
i however, ami only admitted those who were prop
erly untitled to an eutrance. Hundreds were,
consequently, obliged to reiualu out. They liued
| the side walk opposite: they occupied every step
i of the unfinished stone stairway of (he Court
house aud they stood down the street toward
1 Centre, the way by which Croker was to be
brought irom his cell in the Tombs, It was gener
ally thought, lor tue last time. Among these hun
dreds were many meu promtueut in the public
eye, and the sole m.itter of interest amoug all
was the trial, the ueclsiou in winch was still waut
lng. Sympathy was expressed for the prisoner,
but the fact of the jury being out so long looked
ominous to thoje who understood the methods ol
courts aud Juried.
As the hour advanoed the crowd became more
dense and the excitement was intense. As the
hour or eleven approached those more imme
diately interested begun to arrive aud entered me
bulidlug. Among these was Mr. John K-Sliy,
who subsequently sat near the prisoner.
THE Jl'HV.
The jury, which had retired at tea minutes past
seven the evening before, had come back to
ask questions at hall-past nine, and were
finally locked up at lorty minutes past eleveD lor
the night, had remained In their room discus
sing the questions prescuted to them. The ob?
ject of returning for the testimony of Johnson
was that one of the jury insisted that this witness
was not certain whether Croker had a pistol ol
not. It proved that Johnson said he saw Croker,
and said he had no pistol. Cppu this point
the discussion coutiuued, come o( the Jury
lying down on the bencues, others sitting around,
and every man entering into the argument.
It was a long and wholly profitless du
cussion, aa at daylight the Jurymen stood
precisely in the same position as they
did when they first entered the room, not
one having changed In the slightest his original
opinion. At duyllght It became evident that
further discussion was entirely useless, and tha
jury retrained, some sleeping and others lying
listlessly arouud the room. The accommodations
of their room were anything but pleasant, but
complaint was useless and was not indulged lo.
TilK HK1SONEK.
After the strain and trial 01 the night before,
when Coroner Croker had undergone an ordeal all
the more severe that it was unexpected (as he bad
been led by his irieuds to believe tnat an
lmmeuiute acquittal was certain), he took a
light supper una was tnen conducted back to the
Tombs, wnere ne emereJ once more a cell be And
hoped in the morning never to see again. He,
however, spite of his aoxiet.v and the suffering ol
suspense, slept well, it is said. aud when, at ten
minutes to eleven, he was brought into court yes
terday morning, he looked iresh. but much more
nervous than on tue previous nigut. The court
rooir, according to the order of Justice Barrett,
was not allowed to be so lull as on the previous
night, and was about two-thirds occupied.
At a lew nnnutos bc'ore eleven Messrs YVlngate,
Clinton and Fellows, counsel lor tue prisoner, en
tered the room aud took their accustomed seats.
Then came Assistant District Attorneys Rollins
and Lvons. Mr. Uenjamlu K. i'haips was not
eresent. Around the prisoner sat the same nam
er of sympathizers and friends wno bad been wlta
hira on the evening before.
At three minutes past eleven Justice Barrett
entereu the oouri room aud took his seat upon the
bench.
lie told the Crier to summon the jury to coma
into court. an<l five minutes alter they filed into
their seats, looking very seedy and very solemn.
Clerk sparks? Gentlemen of toe J'try, yon will
answer to your names as they are called.
Each juror answered "present" to his name.
Judge Barrett?Have you agreed npon a verdict*
Foreman or the Jury?We nave not.
Tue loremau then arose in his seat and handed a
sealed communication to the Judge, who took it
and opened it, reading It to himself. Altar he
had read it, he said"is there anv objection to
my reading this communication aloud f"
The members of tne jury signified that there waa
no objection whatever.
Judge Barrett thereupon read the note, whlolt
in substance stated tuat the jury had been from *
the tlrst moment of retiring equally divided, and
that the possibility 01 their agreeing was hopeless.
That indeed they tiad ceased to uiscuss the ques
tion since day light and uutil the time when they
were brought into the court room.
Alter Judge Barrett read ttie letter he said:?
"Under these circumstances, and with my knowl.
edge of tne care wbion you have, gentlemen of
the jury, given to the case, and the intelligence
you have displayed in the course or the trial, 1 feel
it to be mjr duty to keep yon no longer together, ?
regard It as very significant, however, that the
jury, aiter a protracted trial, should be so equally
divided us to the guilt, aud that six of the
jury should consider the possibility of it*
having been the prisoner who fired the
shot. Had there been simply a difference of opin
ion among one or two oi your number 1 should
consider it my duty to have kept you together
longer in an attempt to arrive at a verdict. Bui
you stand so equally divided alter seventeen hoara
hard work, and 1 am compelled to discharge you.
ir, however, you thiuk there it the slightest possi
bility ot your arriving at a verdict I shall still keep
yon together.
Foreman of the Jury?There is not.
Judge Barrett?Then you are discharged.
Air. ciluton?1 beg the attention of tne Court for
, one moment. It would be Interesting to know*
bow the Jury stood aud i would request Tour
Jlonor to ask the Jury as to what uegree of guilt

us materially in tne coutse we propose to take.
Your Honor will understand that 1 speak or the

Judge Hurrett?I shall not Interrogate thejnrjr

Mr. Clinton said he should muke the motion lot

WHAT TUB JURYMEN- SAY.
A Hkkai.d reporter interviewed several of the
Jurymen oa the question as to how tuey reached
their point of disagreement.
Mr. Lecalo, the loremau of the jury, said that
while lie would not mention who were in favor
aud who were agamst Croker he would say that
lrom the first ballot that was taken in the jury
room it wus evident the Jury would not Agree.
They ttieu stood six to six, and did not chauge
during the night uutli they stopped discussing the
question entirely. Those who were in lavor ol
ucquiual believed that crokor had nothing to do
whatever with the shooting of McKcuua. Those
who were the other way considered lie bad Area
a shot, and that it was with the intention ol kid.
tug either Me Kenua or some oue oi the other peo
ple present that Croker ilred the shot. These
were as determined iu tnelr attitude as those who
were against couviction.
Mr. Bowers, the second iurytnan, was also inter*
viewed. He said that uil discussion was fiom the
first uselos*. Kvery Jurymau but oue had evi
dently made up his mind entirely and could not
be changed. Six ot tue Jury stood for entire ac
quittal and the other six were for murder. These,
however, were willing to alter their verdict and
lnak" a compromise of manslaughter in ibe third
degree, but those for acquittal would not consent
to this, as their argumeut was tnat the prisouer
was either guilty or not guilty, line were not
guilty it would ne unjust to cohdcnin him to any
degree or guilt. It would be a perversion or Jus
tice. So in this attitude the two pai ties remained,
neither willing t>> give way. It was a somewhat
