Judge Case in the civil side of the supeuior court yesterday afternoon heard seven divorce cases on the short calendar list. A decree was granted In the case of Alice J. Austin against Ed ward Austin. The plaintiff resides In Guilford, where the couple were mar ried in August, 1894. They went to live with the bride's parents and lived to gether about a year. Then according to the testimony taken yesterday the husband bragged to a New Haven friend that he had a "great snap," that he had married a farmer's daughter, nd was having an easy time of it liv ing with the old folks. This came to the ears of Mrs. Austin's father and trouble ensued. The husband who had "the soft snap" then left nad is now in slate's prison. The ground under which the decree was granted was de sertion and Mrs. Austin was given the custody of a child, but her application to have her name changed to her maiden name was denied, as such ap plications usually are when divorced mothers are awarded the custody of children. A , decree was also granted to Lay ette Alena Kendrlck, separating her from her husband, Charles G. Ken drlck. The plaintiff in this case Is a daughter of Edward Miller, president of the Edward Miller company of Merl den, and has been living with her child in a house in Meriden presented to her by her father. The couple were mar ried in October, 1889. Kendrick left her in 1896, then came back and left her again In 1898, since which time he has been absent. George W. Austin of this city was granted a divorce from his wife, Jennie E. Austin, who is now thought to be in New Bedford, Mass. The decree was granted on the ground of desertion. Decision was reserved in the case of Ernest H. Strickland of Waterbury for a divorce from his wife, Edith Strick land, on the ground of desertion. They were married in March, 1?98, and kept house three weeks after having lived with the bride's parents for about three months. Mm Strickland left her hus band July 22, 1898, because he did not like his mother-in-law. Decrees were granted in the follow ing cases: To Jennie Vanarsky of this city, eeparating her from Jacob Van arsky. They were married in January, 1893. Desertion was alleged. To Francis F. Young, a farmer of Wallingford, from Martha E. Young. They were married in 1872. They had not lived together for eight years. She refused to live with him. Desertion was alleged. To John Thomas from Kate Thomas of this city; ground adultery. They were married in 1894. results are accepted; others, that cams with the carpet-bagging crimes of the ante-reconstruction period, are dealt with in scorching terms. To Mr. Dix on's mind, at least, there ie no compro mise at the color line. It Is not probable that the preacher author has overdrawn his pictures of the carpet-bag rule in some portions of the south just after the surrender. His defence of the earlier form and intent of the Ku-Klux Klan is also in accord with a general northern understanding of that powerful organization. The la ter abuses of the Klan he admits. "With rather clever sarcasm Mr. Dixon selects some of Mrs. Stowe's "Uncle Tom" characters for new dispositions in his bopk, though the wisdom, of this- is. doubtful. Legree he resurrects and' turns into a rampant spoilsman, linked to the carpet-baggers. Haley traina with the same erang. George Harris and Tim Selbv become educated fail ures in different ways. Mr. Dixon's book is the strong work of a strong man. It cannot escape dis cussion which will be often intemper ate. Yet even in its fierce swing and burning it carries as pretty a love story as one might care to read. North Car ollna furnishes the scene of events. Thomas Dixon. Jr., author of "The Leonard's Spots," has lived a life hard ly less remarkable than the story of his novel a state legislator at the age of twenty before he could vote, a New York preacher who attracted a larger number of hearers than any other cler gyman in America, and now, retired to his beautiful Virginian home on the shore of Chesapeake bay, he has, by his occasional tours, become known as per haps the .most successful popular lec turer we have. It is said that one of our best authors has already written a novel about him. Though from boy hood it has been his purpose to write books. "The Leopard's Spots" is his first novel. But it is not strange that there should have been a demand for about fifteen thousand copies before the publication of the first edition. i The Brooklyn Eagle says: ,"Mr. Dlx on has a wonderful gift for pathos the blunt, simple pathos of crude circum stance which hits the emotions like a blow. The most powerful mo tives are most forcibly introduced and from them most dramatic situatibns are evolved. For the unflinching declara tion of emphatic convictions the author deserves respect; his sincerity is be yond question, and If the color problem is as serious as he depicts it, his work ought to clear the air." The New York Mall & Express says: "It is a living, burning book, etching upon the consciousness with acids that bite deep the story of the racial strug treatise (1742) includes no work of equal scope or of the same character as this volume." The reasons for each rule and for every play are entered Into; and the entire theory of the game te elucidated and Illustrated by means hundreds of examples, critical ending and deals. The treatment of the sub Ject is original and practical and well calculated to convey a sound and thor ough knowledge of the principles of whist and the most scientific methods of their application in a way under standable by the comparative novice as well as by the expert. The authors are well known authorities In the whist circles of America and England. Mr. Bergholt has no superior in the field of problem composition. Mr. W. H. Whit Mold, the world's leading authority upon the mathematics of whist, has carefully;- verified the tables and con tributes a chapter on "Probabilities. The book, which comprises 611 pages, Is dedicated to the memory of William Pole, F. R. S., Mus. Doc, Oxon, and Henry Jones; M. R. C. S., (CavendiBh) whose services to the game the first in the elucidation of its principles; the second in the application of them will be remembered as long as whist is payed. Despite the great labor and ex pense involved in the publication of the book, the price is only $1.50 net. Copies may be obtained at the Pease-Lewie Co. 's.

At the ehort calendar session of the superior court yesterday Judge Case granted, a, , foreclosure in the case of Walter S. Clayton vs. John H. McKeon et ale, for the purpose of recovering on a mortgage of $4,500. The property Is located in Mllford. McKeon was given till May 29 to redeem and other de fendants, Sprague and Curley, were given till June 2 for redemption. In the ease of Anthony Carroll against ex-Alderman Felix Chilling worth, a suit for libel, claiming $2,500 damages, motion was made for a bond to prosecute and It was agreed that $70: should be furnished within two weeks. Ift the case of Winchell vs. the First Baptist church an agreement was reached between counsel. This case concerns the construction of the will of the late Marietta Bailey. She left a handsome legacy to "the First Bap tist church." She meant in a legal sense the First Baptist Ecclesiastical society, and the lawyers agreed that the bequest to the First Baptist church means the First Baptist Ecclesiastical society. ' The court agreed to the change. IN THE CITY COURT. ' Raymond V. Baylor of Newark, N. J., Henry B. Thatcher of this city and Guetave Schwab, ' 4th, of New York city, all Yale seniors, Behwab and Bay lor rooming in Vanderbllt and Thatch er in Lawrence, were before the court on a charge of general breach of the peace. Judge Dow found each guilty yesterday morning and placed on them ' an individual fine of $1 and costs, which they paid. Eugene Maresca and Mary Ann Mc Gulre were arrested for indulging in a mutual scrap. Eugene was allowed to depart with a suspension of judgment, but Mary Ann will languish in the Bridgeport . jail for thirty days for drunkenness and pay a fine of $3 for her scrappy disposition. Patrick McDermott and William Far rell were each found guilty of a breach of the peace against one Fred Smith. McDermott was fined $8 and his col league $3. iEW J'Uttl.t'lATIOAS. Romance of 1865-1900. by The Leopard's Spots; a the White Man's Burden, Thomas Dixon, Jr.; published by Dou bleday, Page & Co., New York, is a strong book and one which is justly ex citing much attention. It is receiving strikingly favorable comments from many of the leading journals of the country. It is an artistic tale of our southern states, giving expression to the long silent southern feeling regard ing political events and dramatic situa tions in the south following the close of the civil war. It deals chiefly with the reconstruction liuve vhen the caipei bagger had sway whether fitted to ex ercise it or not. It is an impressive book and one to command careful thought and reflection. The woes of the south in the reconstruction days are vividly,, perhaps extravagantly pic tured, as is 'likewise the negro problem as viewed from the intelligent southern standpoint. A charming love story Is closely interwoven in the fabric and ar gument of the book, incidentally illus trating the author's purpose, while add ing greatly to the attractiveness of the volume. In "The Leopard's Spots" there is no phrase to suggest that the writer is fighting the war over again. Certain "Letters From Egypt and Palestine," by Maltbie Davenport Babcock; pub lished by Charles Scrlbner's Sons, New York, is a wholesome, delightful book. Dr. Babcock, both as a writer and preacher, possessed the rare gift of fe licity of expression coupled with the equally rare talent of avoiding the trlv ial and commonplace and focusing the attention upon what is really notable and important. Dr. Babcock was the pastor of the Old Brick church, New York, and one of the brightest lights In the Presbyterian ministry, and his un timely death was a very sad event causing widespread sorrow. On going to New York Dr. Babcock's peculiar charm and power were at once recog nized, and the church was promptly crowded to the doors. His "Letters From Egypt and Palestine" were writ ten by him to the members of the Young Men's association of his church His style 1 terse, pure, idiomatic and illuminating. He was a keen observer and possessed a quick appreciation of all that is picturesque and a full grasp of history and legendary lore. Espec ially admirable are his letters descrip tive of the Holy Land. One gets new and vivid ideas of that much described cmntry from these charming letters, and, as Is admirably said of them by the Baltimore Sun, in which city he was the successor of Dr. GunsaulUB, "They give us the record of the sponta neous impressions produced upon a man of broad culture and deep thought by the scenes of the past brought into touch with the present. Moreover, they lack nothing of literary form and grace, and one of the strongest qualities, as of all the utterances of Dr. Babcock, lies In their breadth of thought. The letters throughout are as strong in tone as they are tender in feeling and expression. They are never rhapsodic, but always adequate. "All who in-thls life have known and loved Dr. Babcock for the two things were but one should read this record of his spirit rather than merely his travels. And those who have not known him should learn to do so through the words which he has left as an insufficient yet valuable memorial, They will be bettered by the knowledge, for they will be taught to look to the spirit of the outer guise, and to see, as did the writer of the letters, the mean ing which lies beneath the material as pect. And they will be bettered also by breathing for a time an atmosphere of true religion and piety." of high thought, of deep reverence, and of all that goes to make up the Christian life in its noblest types." Dr. Babcock, it will be remembered was one of the party in the trip de scribed in this book of which Rev. Dr. newman smytn, or tnis city, was a member. Dr. Babcock's death was a great loss to the Christian ministry and this little memorial volume of 157 pages will be especially dear to all who had the privilege of his acquaintance and friendship. The book has quite a number of illustrations of scenes and places visited by Dr. Babcock and par ty, and the illustrations are by Dr. El- mendorf, who was also one of the par ty and who gave so fine an illustrated lecture in this city recently, under the auspices of the mission circle of Center church. Copies of the book may be ob tained at the Pease-Lewis Co.'s store; price one dollar. book, whatever this or that critic may say, is that given by the general pud 11c. The great and continued demand for the book "Uncle Terry" proves be yond a question that the public rank Charles Clark Munn high among the most popular American novelists, and hia position will be much strengthened by his latest work, "Rocklmven." This has all the "heart Interest" of "Uncie Terry" and all its poetic appreciation of nature, while being far stronger in plot and more extended and powerful in its character drawing. In "Jesse Hutton" a character is created that will attract and hold both old and young as few characters In American fiction have done. The love story of Winn and Mona, interwoven as it is with the great financial scheme which furnishes much of the theme of the story, Is a master piece of both strength end delicacy. The shifting of scene from the restful- nesa of "Rockhaven" to city lire, in cluding a most graphic and dramatic description of one of Its most intense episodes', a panic in the stock market, with occasional returns to the pic turesque island, keeps up the Keenest interest throughout. The superb style In which the book Is gotten up, and Mr. Merrill's fine Illustrations, help it to be one of the most attractive novels in ap pearance ever issued. The remarkably large advance orders proved the Interest of the public In this book, and the en joyment it will give should equal ail ex pectation. Price $1 50, subject to the new flgrement of the American run- llshers' Association regarding fiction. Copies for sale at Judd's. A book destined , no"' doubt to have a big sale is "The Empire of Business," by that eminent philanthropist and ex captain of industry, Andrew Carnegie, which Doubleday, Page & Co., New York, will soon publish. The importance of Mr. Carnegie's book is perhaps best realized when wa consider his long experience as the most successful purely business man this country has ever known. Mr. Carne gie created a business out of nothing. He did not make his fortune by com mission, as a banker, or by handling merchandise as a trader, but by manu facturing material taken out of the surface of the earth. He never specu lated In a share of railroad stock he owned a complete railroad, but built ex pressly for the purpose of his own man ufacturing Industry; ' he built mills, but never sold them; he created his own line of lake steamships; he bought land and mined his own ore; and built up from nothing a business which, was eventually sold to the steel trust for several hundred millions. What a man of hla experience has to say upon the principles and practice of business Is of xery great importance. erford Hayes Trowbridge Jr.. Yale '87, and of our city), of that successful par ody, "The Letters or Her Mother to Elizabeth," has lately finished a sequel which Is called "The Grandmother's Ad vice to Elizabeth." It is to be issued by John Lane (New York) In the same style as the first volume. Of the "Moth er s letters about 60,000 copies were sold In Great Britain, while in America the sale has been much larger. The au thor has also completed a long novel entitled "A Girl of the Multitude." . Th heroine is the extraordinary ehnracter known as Eglee, mentioned by the Comte de Beugnot in his Memoirs. Professor John Wurts of the Yale law school has edited an edition of Washburn on Real Property." The large additions and important changes made by Professor Wurts, In order to make the book thoroughly present tho American Law of Real Property, as it Is to-day, have rendered it necessary to entirely re-set the whole work, making it rather a new book than a new edi tion. This new edition has been most carefully edited and brought down to date by a writer especially fitted for the work by practical experience. Thus thoroughly revised and annotated, the work promises to be the best on the subject. It Is being published by Little, Brown & Co., of Boston, and is complete in three volumes. One of the strongest scenes in ,"Miss Petticoats," the novel to be issued soon by the C. H. Clark company, is the cul mliiiation of an enormous deal in stocks Which is closelyconnected with the de velopment of the plot. Horatio Ather ton, the man who engineers the at tempted coup in "United Mines," is said to be a well known New York financier with but slightly altered char acteristics. In this case, however, his plans are brought to naught by the shrewdness and brilliancy of a woman. The chapters devoted to this passage-at-arms will bo reart'ivlth a-rent Inter est by all who are familiar with stock transactions. H. G. Wells, whose serious work in his recent volume of "Anticipations" (Harper & Bro.) attracted the atten tion of many conspicuous members of parliament and led to a little dinner party In his honor at Westminster, is preparing a number of thoughtful ar ticles in equally deliberate vein, which will be published serially this autumn. The theme of his essays will be a con sideration of the best means to insure the production of an effective, compe tent race of men. Ho will make some trenchant criticisms of English and American institutions, particularly the former. William Henry Carson, the author of "Hester Blair," (C. M. Clark & Co Boston) will start soon for Italy where he will spend the summer in complet ing his next novel, "Tito." The book has its title from the name of an Italian boy who is said to be a most remark able character creation on the part of the author. "Hester Blair" has nearly gone through the third edition and this first book by Mr. Carson has already sold popularly enough to command a great audience for his next novel. "The Principles and Practice of Whist," by Lennard Leigh and Ernest Bergholt, with a chapter by W. H. Whitfield, M. A. cantab' is just issued by Henry T. Coates & Co., Philadel phia, and on its great merits should hnve a large sale and the attention of New Haven whist players, of whom there are thousands to-duy.

He wbb editor of the American Shorthand Writer from 1880 to' 1886, the leading shorthand magazine during Its existence. In 1880 he prepared the first series of lersons by mail ever compiled, a method since then widely copied, and had a corre spondence class exceeding three hun dred. All this time he has been noting the actual needs of students and office workers, and his typewritten pamphlets of instruction have come to be of such importance that they are now published In this little work, of faultless ty pography, fine paper and nent binding. Of the twenty well-presented chapters the extended list of "Words of Differ ent Meanings Similarly Pronounced," is perhaps the most valuable. To a gen eral reader the entire book seemn to be full of good things, which any one can study with profit, and the chapter, Last Words," wltbts sound presenta tion of business ethics, Is alone worth the securing of the book. Every one having to do with shorthand or type writing should be provided with this hand book, and it would be a very wise Investment for any business man to ey pend the small sum necessary to pro vide each of his helpers with a copy.

The atmosphere Is that of Florence, the Florence of the early Renaissance when the city was rent by rival factions and dark an dtreacherous deeds of vlllany were done In most unscrupulous and bitter struggles for the supremacy. The Ucelli and the Neri are the rival houses which furnish Mr., Scollard with his central plot.
