TUB DEATH OF DU MAURIER.
It is a rather singular coincidence that
Du Maurier, in the very zenith of his
fame as a novelist, died in the fame way
and of the same disease that lie so graph
ically pictures the death of Svcngali, the
hero of "Trilby" of heart disease. He
had been hovering lM'tween life and
death for several days, but nt 2:150 o'clock
Thursday morning he passed away. His
death was painless and his friends whom
he most loved were with him in that try
ing hour. He seemed to be fully con
scious that his hour had come. Some of
his friends, spoke to him in the last
few days of his life olwut the fame ho
had acquired ns a novelist, nnd especial
ly the success of "Trilby," ho replied:
"Yes, it has lcen successful, but the pop
ularity has killed me nt last."
The public hardly appreciate ihe fact
that their approval of a writer is often
the cause that hurries him to his grave.
A writer, however humble, who believes
his work is appreciated, has very little
regard for his health of the husbanding
of his physical resources. I lis ambi
tion spurs him beyond his endurance.
Napoleon said the applause of the French
people was as sweet to him as the voice
of Josephine. Public approval can only
be compared to a woman's love in the
joy it carries to the heart of its recipient.
He who is inspired by the divine olllatus
of either love or fame will willingly lay
down his life to gain it. We suppose
that Du Maurier referred to the inspira
tion that public approval had given him
nnd that he had worked harder than he
could endure.
There is nothing left of him here but
his fnme. Dn Maurier did not select
ns n novelist in his most noted work such
n line of thought as to gain general ap
proval. Ho sought the sensational to
gratify a limited taste, and in doing so
lie prostituted his genius to an ignoble
Iheme. He had power enough io scorn
the bnsc'i models that he presented to the
public and chisel a beauty "clothed on
with chastity," that would have given
him n wider and more enduring fame.
He taught in it no lesson that would re
fine nnd elevate. Ho presented no model
that would excite a pure love, nnd in the
Jilaeo of exulting he debased the noblest
ud purest passions. His model had the
lieauty of form, but she hnd the false
assumption of an innocence that sympa
thy alone could furnish a bed for her
deformities.
Had Du Maurier scorned ephemeral
popularity and carved out the model of
a chaste and virtuous woman,
and given her the few better quali
ties of "Trilby," his book would have
ennobled rather
kind. He was
building much
did, and if he
than debased man-
highly capable of
better than he
hnd applied his
splendid genius and versatile talent to a
higher standard of female loveliness he
would have touched every heart and en
kindled therein the sweetest nnd purest
of nil human emotions, but ho degraded
that taleut to the pruriency of passion
rather than the purity of love, nnd in
stead of elevating woman uikiu a pedestal
of holiness ho smirched the beauty of her
character, debased and degraded her per
son nnd left her as n model a play
thing, carnal and unclean.
We nllude to the only work of Du Mau
rier's that we have read "Trilby." His
earlier environments had a good deal to
do in the framework of this novel, yet
there is nothing he could have done that
would compensate for the harm that Tril
by did; we nre informed, however, that
his late and last work, "Do Martians,"
is not subject to the same criticism which
is applicable to "Trilby," but that it is
a very pure work. If so he deserves the
proper credit for it, but can this con
done his sin in degradiug the purity of
woman as he did iu "Trilby V
A BUGLE BLAST FROM AN ARCH
BISHOP. Archbishop Ireland, the great Catholic
prelate, has responded iu a lengthy letter
to the written request of twenty-seven
business men of Minnesota, on the pres
ent condition of political affairs In this
country. There is no more profound aud
thoroughly great reasoner in this coun
try than Archbishop Ireland. In the
company of the intellectual giants of the
nge, Archbishop Ireland measures fully
up to tire highest standard,
j He does not apologize in this crisis "for
I speaking in behalf of the integrity of the
nation, for social order, for the pros
: perity of the people, for the honor of
1 America and the permanency of free in
I stitutions." And he does not speak in
halting and equivocating sentences or in
uncertain tones, lie plunges "iu median
res' nt once and clearly exposes the here
sies promulgated by the hybid conven
tion nt Chicago. After criticizing the
several planks of that platform as inim
ical to social order and good government
und detrimental to the interests of the
people, he says: "Worse, to my mind
j than all this, is the spirit of socialism
that permeates the whole movement
which has issued from the convention nt
Chicago." He declares that "it is the
'International' of Europe taking hold in
America." He says "of this one can not
but be convinced when the movement is
closely observed, the shibboleths of its
adherents listened to, the discources of
its orators carefully examined." "The
war of class against class," he continues,
"is npon us the war of the proletariat
against the property holder." "No other
meaning," he says, "can be given to the
appeals to 'the common people,' 'to the
laborer,' 'to the poor and downtrodden,'
and to the denunciations against 'pluto-
crats,' and 'coroporutious,' and 'money
grabbers.' and 'bankers.' " He says
these people are lighting torches, which,
borne in the hands of reckless men, may
light up the country with the lurid flame
of the 'commune.'
He says his ntention has been called
to a pamphlet of Archbishop Walsh of
Dublin on bimetallism as a reply to his
objection to the free silver resolution of
the Chicago convention, which, he says
has no bearing on the situation in Ameri
ca. tie says tne nrcuuisnop uiscusscs
bimetallism versus monometallism, and
that only from a foreign point of view,
the effect of monometallism upon farm
ers' contracts for the laud purchased in
Ireland. He adds that Archbishop
Walsh manifestly presupposes that bi
metallism would be brought about by in
ternational agreement.
This letter is animated least by politi
cal motives, but is based upon reasoning
nnd comes from n Catholic prelate more
interested in the prosperity of the labor
ing men of the country than most men
of education, and taking that as its very
lowest object, it seems to us it ought to
command the most thoughtful considera
tion of thoughtful men. It can not hnve
any other motive than the common good,
and it comes from a great mind, well
versed in the history of nations, nnd
thoroughly acquainted with all the com
plex machinery of finnnce ns developed
in the history of commercial nations.
The arguments in this letter ngainst the
policy of the Chicago convention and
the supporters of Bryan nre very strong
nnd conclusive, nnd its warnings should
be taken to heart by every patriotic citi
zen.
BRYAN AND THE BIBLE.
Mr. Bryan said nt Minneapolis: "I
was reading in the Bible this morning
these words, 'If n brother or sister be
naked or destitute nnd one of you say
to them, depart in peace, be ye warmed
aud fed, notwithstanding you give them
not those things which are needed, whnt
doth it profit?' "
We nre glad to see that Mr. Bryan
is rending the Bible, but why does he
quote a passage referring to a time when
charity was exclusively a Christian vir
tue, now charity is not alone a Christian
virtue, it is ns broad os civilized hu
manity. No one refuses to feed and
clothe the needy in this day and gene
ration. But Mr. Bryan's study of the
Bible is mi evidence of hopefulness. We
trust that at least after the election he
will continue to rend the Bible nnd final
ly he will come to passages more appli
cable to the present condition of affairs.
He will find it treats of "just weights
and measures." He will find that it in
structs the honest to be so careful that
they give just weight nnd measure that
they are instructed to fill the bushel full,
well shaken down, and running over, so
that there can be no complaint of light
weight and a scant measure. He will
find in these passages a just reproof to
bis efforts to induce men to change just
measures and weights to unjust meas
ures nnd weights so that they can pay
less than they owe. He will also find
that ho hns been preaching a doctrine of
hate, one class against another, that vio
lates the very essential and fundamental
principles of the gospel of Christ, and
that is the direction from His divine lips
to "love thy neighbor as thy self." Upon
this hang all the law and the doctrines
of the Master. No man can love Him
until his heart is attuned to love his
neighbor ns himself. That is, however,
further than Mr. Brynn has yet gone in
his reading of the Bible, while that
ought to be primary, and then he might
be entitled to quote the Bible on charity.
Does it not seem a little inconsistent
nnd paradoxical for an orator who is
using all his gifts of eloquence to arouse
sectional and class hate to attempt to
quote the Bible on charity, nn orator who
is violating the a b c of the gospels from
which he quotes? But wo nre reminded
that another individual, when he asked
Jesus Christ to throw himself down from
the steeple of the temple, quoted the
Bible to Him, but the devil misquoted
it. Is not any qoutation from the Bible
from the lips of a preacher of hate of
one class ngainst another, a misquota
tion as offensive in one instance ns the
other we have cited? For, is not Mr.
Bryan attempting to incite sectional and
class hate, nnd is he not begging the
people to take as dangerous a leap as
the devil asked Christ to take without
even a misquoted authority for the leap,
except his own "ipse dixit?"

THE STORM IN VICINITY OF NEW
YORK WAS THE SEVEREST
IN YEARS.
lit 1M RESORTS SUFFERED
High Tides Flooded Hotel Floors and
Swept Cottuges Away The Gale
Blew Furiously Coney Islund
Suffered Serious Losses.
New York, Oct. 12. A veritable hur
ricane has swept over this section of the
country yesterday and today. The wind
blew with terrific force, reaching at
Sandy Hook a velocity of seventy-five
miles an hour last night. Tides rose to
a height many feet greater than has been
seen for years, and the waves all along
the Atlantic coast swept in with a force
that carried everything before them and
did damage to the amount of many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Sandy
Hook nnd points nlong the New Jersey
coast felt the fury of the storm most of
all, but the Coney Island experienced, so
far ns has been learned, the most direful
result. Pavilions were overturned and
carried southward; bathing houses and
bouri. walks, everything not Tar inland
on the famous island was torn up and
piled high beyond the coast line, or were
carried out to sen.
At Brighton Bench the stone walks
in front of the big hotel were under
water, and towards the end of this after
noon the famous Soidl concert Lull was
inundated ami partially curried away.
The well kept lawns in front of the Ori
ental hotel and Manhattan Beach hotel
were laid waste and lower portions of
the houses Hooded. Innumerable build
ings were picked up bodily and carried
away by wind or waves.
At Far Roekaway the fury of the gale
was indescribable. There houses which
were built on piles in sand were washed
away, and those higher up, which for
years have been out of reach of the high
est tides, were today flooded. Along
the Jersey coast most of the damage done
was to property, as breakwater prepara
tions had been made, as a forecast of
the storm had lieen given some days be
fore. Craft delayed sailing, and others
just cleared returned for safe anchoring.
Coney island s tiencn was swept o.v
the waves of the highest tides in the his
tory of the famous resort last night nnd
today. A large number of temporary
structures along the front were destroy
ed. The boulevard wns flooded as far
as Neptune avenue. The shelter houses
at the intersection of the concourse and
the bonlevnrd were washed away. Waves
running mountain high battered the plaza
n front of the Brighton Bench liotel
and tore nway part of the concert pavil
ion, in which Anton Zeidles' orchestra
gives its performances. The Ocean ho
tel, west of Brighton Bench hotel, wns
surrounded by water and its foundations
were wrecked. Numerous bathing pa
vilions nnd amusement houses in West
Brighton were either wrecked or dam
aged. Among the latter was tne club
house of the Seaside Athletic club. The
old iron pier that was believed to be im
pregnable, and that hnd been mitteted
by the storms of over twenty winters,
was cut in two by the mighty impact of
the waves.
t 2:30 o clock a monster wave struck
the concert pavilion at Brighton Beach
and tore away two-thirds of the struc
ture. The Brighton Beach race track
stables were flooded nnd the horses
were removed to stables along the boule
vard. A rough estimate of the financial
loss nlong Coney Island beach places it
nt $200,000.
The ferry house and dock, board walk
and pnvilion of the Far Roekaway Im
provement company were totally wreck
ed. The Casino, the United States ho
tel, the Tnekapausha house and the
Dolphin hotel were among those burni
ngs which had at least two loot ol water
on their ground floors.
At Wave Crest the damage will amount
to $50.11(1)1. Nearly all the improve
ments nincle by the Lancaster Improve
ment company near this place within the
last two years were washed away, piled
up in broken masses or buried under
tons of sand.
A great deal of damage was done nt
Edgeiuore, and this afternoon the tide
md risen so high ns to threaten to un
dermine the Edgeiuore hotel.
At Averne several summer cottages
were lilted lrom their touiulations and
completely wrecked. At this place, also,
several thousand dollars of track was
washed away.
In New Jersey all the low Kinds were
under water, and several washouts on
railroads lying nlong the coast are re
IKirted. In this particular the electric
road suffered most.
At Sandy Hook, where even the breath
of a breeze can be twisted into a gale,
last night's blow was a howling hurri
cane, it was a feartul night tor the ob
server nnd for nil who had reason to
venture within sight of the sea. the
waves broke higher than ever before,
and nt one time the tower, which incom
ing and outgoing ships signal, shook and
tottered as though it was going to go
over. This was towards morning,
when, it is estimated, the gale was
blowing in the neighborhood of 78 miles
an hour. The streets were Hooded nnd
ninny hotels nnd cottages at Sea Isle
were wrecked.
North of Sea Isle city the fronts of
many of the cottages have already fallen
and others nre ready to fall. The branch
of the South Jersey railway is washed
away for fully a half mile.
At Asbury park thousands lined the
shore today and witnessed the fury of
the waves and the destruction that came
iu with every breaker.
Many houses were unroofed at Egg
Harbor City, and many people were
forced into the streets.
Tonight a mail train managed to get
through after a blockade of thirty-eight
hours.
Among the craft reported sunk or dam-
nged is the yacht Novelte, which was
driven ashore. The storm along the
sound was very severe, but not as
nstrous as nn the ocean coast line.

WATSO.VS CONDITION.
Atlanta, (la.. Oct. 12. A special to the
Journal from Thompson says:
Hon. Thomas E. Watson is still confined
to his room, acting under the advice of
his physician, Dr. E. II. Harrison.
Dr. Harrison informed the Journal cor
respondent this morning that, while Mr.
Watson was improving, his throat was
still one complete mass of sores, and un
der no circumstances could he speak in
less than ten or twelve days, and that it
was very doubtful if he could take the
stump again during the present campaign.
BUTLER OFF FOR CHICAGO.
Washington, Oct. 12. Senator Butler,
chairman of the populist national com
mittee, left for Chicago today tQ attend
the conference of the populist national
committee tomorrow. This meeting is
expected to deal with fusion between the
democrats and populists on the .intional
ticket. There has been some criticism
of the course of the populists, particular
ly in Kansas and Nebraska, iu which
states Mr. Watson receives no recogni
tion. There may be an effort to secure
a change in these states so as to give
Watson representation. It is probable
that Mr. Butler will make n full explana
tion of his course to the committee, with
a view to securing its endorsement, and
that an effort will be made to hnve the
committee agree upon nn address to the
country. it is believed here that Mr.
Watson's letter in regard to the vice
presidency will not be made public un
til after the result of the conference is
known.
BRIDLE-BITS WAITE IS ANGRY.
Denver, Col., Oct. 12. In an open let
ter to the people of Colorado, ex-Uov. II.
D. Waite, who is a candidate for gov
ernor on the middle-of-the-rond populist
ticket, says that the regular populist
convention in this stnte betrayed the par
ty by its failure to recognize the candida
cy of Thomas Watson for the vice presi
dency, nnd ndds:
"In spite of nil the gangs nnd rings in
the stnte, I will support Bryan nnd Wat
son, and I most solemnly renounce Chas.
S. Thomas, Isaac II. Stevens, Thomas M.
Patterson and the devil and all his
works."
JONES ADVISING FUSION.
Jackson, Miss., Oe. 12. The Clarion
Ledger this afternoon publishes the fol
lowing: "The editor of the Clarion-Lodger hns
received two telegrams from Hon. James
K. Jones, chnirman of the national demo
cratic executive committee, advising fu
sion in Mississippi between democrats
and populists on the electoral ticket, say
ing that he believed a fusion, such as
was had in Arkansas, where the demo
crats get five electors and the populists
three, would tend to greatly strengthen
Bryan in the close western states. The
dispatches have been referred to the
chairman of the state committee."
ALTO ELD IN THE EAST.
Chicago, Oct. 12. Gov. Altgcld will
make throe speeches in New York Sat
urday night, one under the auspices of
the New York Germans, another in re
sponse to nn invitation from nn associa
tion of business men nnd the third at the
request of the luboring men.
GOT THE ELECTION GRABBED.
New York, Oct. 12. At the national
republican headquarters today, after a
conference of the entire executive com
mittee, the following statement was giv
en out:
'.'The election of McKinley nnd Hobnrt
is nn accomplished nnd assured fact.
They will receive 270 electoral votes.
Bryan will receive 110. nnd there nre six
states thnt are doubtful, but the proba
bilities all point to the fact that these
07 votes will go into the republican col
umn and be added to the 270 now assur
ed for McKinley and Hobnrt. This is
the status today. We have the election
and we will hold to it. Our present ef
fort in the west is to this end only. The
opposition have abandoned the east.
HAS NOT "BOLTED" BRYAN.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct., 12. A. R. Talbot,
law partner of Win, J. Brynn, tonight
gave the following signed statement to
the Associated Press:
"I see thnt it is stated in the press re
ports that I have 'bolted' Mr. Bryan, my
law partner, now candidate for president
on the democratic ticket. I have always
beeu and nm now a republican, but no
iiiun has greater admiration or higher ic
gard for Mr. Bryan than I have. His
honesty, integrity nnd patriotism can
not be questioned. I have not 'bolted'
Mr. Bryan, and any statement to that
effect is untrue.
(Signed) "A. R. TALBOT."

Washington, Oct. 12 Ambassador
Eustis at' Paris cabled Secretary of State
Olney that P. J. P. Tynan will be re

thnt the alleged filibustering tug Daunt
less has succeeded in landing its cargo
on Cuban soil, although it has had time
to do so since it left Fnlm Beach last
