BOOKS OF THE HOUR AN IMPORTANT WORK ON SOCIOL OGY 11V LESTER P. WARD SCIENCE, HISTORY, ROMANCE "Cannon ninl Cniuern,'* by John C. HeniitM-iit "Tlie Retl Axe,'' l>y S. H. Crockett "The Lady of the CBHlell Ma roll." by Owen Hhos i-iiM\ I Forthcoming Publica tions I.lterarj- Notes. "Outlines of Sociology." These papers, published originally In the American Journal of Sociology, have been gathered into' a volume and have certainly a place in the lit erature of sociology, but it is to be doubted that the field covered is suf ficiently inclusive to permit the title, "Outlines of Sociology." Though Mr. Ward is the first American in point of time in his chosen field, and, perhaps, is the first In point of importance, the present volume is not an advance on his former works, "Dynamic Sociolo gy" and "The Psychic Factors of Civil ization." In the first part of the work before us the author follows Gumplow- Icje in seeking to give the relations of sociology to other sciences, though the Austrian author thinks it impor tant to find the relations with econom ics, philosophy of history and the like, while Mr. Ward discusses cosmology, biology, anthropology and psychology. The second part of the work is really a recapitulation of the principles laid down in the former works. He brings again to the front his doctrine that Feeling is the important psychic fac *" tor of progress. The mind may think or feel. The feeling is by far the stronger power and immensely the snore "ffioient!, from the social point of view. The individual has much to do in the world, but his personal ac tivity is lost "in the great river of social welfare." The real purpose of sociology as a working force In hu man knowledge is to stop useless and expensive debate about questions that may be sufficiently settled. If any body knows, the rest should listen, and ■ not wrangler One of Mr. Ward's opinions, intimat ed !n 'rfls first book, and stated more plainlji* now, is with reference to the course of human evolution. Thus far civilization has been genetic, but it has been for the most part blind and unconscious. But now society is stir ring; soon it will awake to "collective consciousness and usher in an era of telic progress." Or to put the thought In every-day English— Man is the result | of the* forces of the world, but now he is to become master of the forces of society, and make his future what he pleases. If this is so, we can only hope that good sense will prevail, for, though the present is by no means all that tan be desired, we would not like to trade it off for the raw efforts of the apprentice hand of man just beginning to know what he is about and crudely trying for experimental re sults. It would be a pity if any one thought from the title that this book is a text book, or could be used as one. It is in no proper sense an "outline," but it is a stimulating and valuable con tributon to sociological literature by one of the most constructve of Ameri can thinkers.

We have had pictorial histories of wars from the time of the Egyptian temples down, and not a little have they added to the romantic glamour of battle. A photographic history of war, while it may be spoken of properly as pictorial, is af unlike the old mysteries of smoke and strangely prancing horses as the warfare of the Pharaohs, ' 3,000 B C is unlike the campaign in Cuba, ISUS A. D. All the more interesting because of Its unprecedented realism is "Cannon and Camera," by? .1. C. Hemment. Mr. Hemment photographed as much of the campaign in Cuba as could possibly come within the range of one man's camera, and it is more than surprising how very omnipresent that one camera proved t. . be. The pictures begin with the exciting scenes which followed the destruction of the Maine; include char acteristic scenes in the various Amer ican camps; snap shots at leading char acters: the stirring deeds of our squad ron before Santiago de Cuba; the va rious wrecks of the Spanish fleet; the operations which resulted in the' fall ! of that city, and the return of the troops to New York. "Mr. Hemment has been a recognized leader for a number of years among the most skillful photographers of th# country, especially in instantaneoui work, having successfully photograph ed, with his special apparatus the most difficult athletic events. An athlete also himself, he was peculiar ly well fitted to undertake the hazard ous enterprise of photographing the scenes and deeds of the recent war with Spain." Mr. Hemment himself claims to be more familiar with the camera than the pen. but the text descriptive of his ' personal experiences during the war makes interesting and instructive reading, and in all ways the book is an acceptable addition to the books about the war.

It is a long time now since Mr. Crockett has reached his highest level, ar.d if we are to take "The Red Axe," his latest romance, as an effort of his full strength, we have little hope of reading soon a new tale of such sUr- ring adventure as Mr. Crockett's name once stood for. "The Red Axe" is full of sterling ma terial—robust heroes, feline and feminine heroines, stri -ing situations, the howling of man-fed bloodhounds and war's alarms — and yet the reader's heart but rarely varies from the hum drum dog trot that accompanies the reading, late in life, of "Swiss Family Robinson." Hugo Gottfried, the son of Gottfried Gottfried, known as the Red Axe, fourteenth in line of the hereditary justicers to the Dukes of the Wolfmark, is the youthful hero of the story youthful, indeed, for the biography he tells begins in his tenth year, when the "Little Playmata" is brought to the "Red Tower"to be the companion of his despised childhood. The little playmate MISS KATE MICHEL.ETA, Soprano In "El Capltan," at the Grand, Is a princess taken from her father's arms on his way to execution and sav ed by the importunity of the Red Axe's little son. The children come up to gether and are happy enough, despite the sanguine shadow of the Red Axe and the tower of execution, until Yso linde, type of Lilith, the first wife of Adam, with her feline love and witch ways, lures them both off to the prince j dom of Karl the Miller's Son, whose princess Ysolinde proves to be. Helene, the little playmate, is decoyed back to the Wolfburg, and comes into the pow er of the heir of the Duke of the Wolf mark, whose repulsed love for her turns ! into hate. Ysolinde's hate and his combine to weave a web of circum stantial evidence around Helene, con i victing her of the murder, by witch- I craft, of the old duke. Gottfried, dis guised, arrives on the scene only to be recognized and forced, on pain of a worse fate for the maid, as hereditary executioner, to behead, with the red axe, the woman he loves. At the criti cal moment Ysolinde repents and other strange things happen. And this is but a microscopic part of Mr. Crockett's material. What has be come of the snap and "go" that would once have made it irresistible? "The Rex Axe," by S. R. Crockett. H;r-er & Bros., New York, $1.50. Foy sale by the St. Paul Book and Stationery company. • • • Welsh Adventure. A new romance by Owen Rhoscomyl, who is favorably known as the writer of Welsh stories with more or less his toric foundations, is called "The Lady of Castell March." The days are those when wild tales of the'Ooronoka stirred Welsh blood and more bold buc caneers, from the same ungovernable land, than Sir Henry Morgan sailed the adventurous main. The hero of the tale is a youth, red-handed from the killing of the English judge who had, against Welsh custom, con demned his father to death for mur der. He also would seek the Ooronoka, but stops long enough in his own land to get himself into Infinite straits— of both war and love. The main in teiest of the story centers, not around the swaggering boy, but around the disguised captain, who is more honest and heroic, not, perhaps, because of his natural virtues, but because cir cumstances ■ allow him a historian other than himself. The author aims to be- interesting rather than convin cing and fulfills well his Intention. "The Lady of Castell March," by Owen Rhos cemyl, $1. Doubleday & McCJure conipa iv, New York.

Slgsbee oug_ht to have a watch made especially to resh't the action of salt water. The one he now carries has been submerged three times. It went down in Japanese waters many years ago. At Bahia Honda, in 1878, when a Spanish pilot grounded his vessel, the Bluke, it had another salt-water bath, the vessel being flooded to prevent her pound ing to pieces on the rooks*. At Havana it went down with the Maine, but waa recoverel by c diver. When the war broke out and Capt. Sigsbee took command of the St. Paul, he wisely left this watch at home, thinking it indiscreet to risk it again in Cuban waters. These facts will be recounted in che last of the captain's papers on the explosion of the Maine, in the January Century. Although it covers only the events following the ex plosion, this is likely to prove no less read able than the two articles that preceded It.

The Northland Publishing company, Minneapolis, Minn. • • • Frederic Remington in this week's issue of Harper's Weekly Has given us an artistic and lifelike drawing of one of the most picturesque war scenes that has been merely touched on by the magazines and newspapers. The reproduction of this notable work of art is a full-page illustration in Harper's Weekly, and shows the hastily improvised field hos pital at the Bloody Ford of San Juan Creek. The troops are crossing the creek on the charge, and the wounded are lying on the ground, sheltered from the -Spanisli fire by a sloping bank. Mr. Remington fcaa always been at home in portraying soldiers and horses, but for plcturesqueness, and for the lifelike quality that is the essential thing, he has never excelled this latest production of his pencil. The four issues of the Youth's Companion during January will contain some noteworthy features. The New Year's number, to be published Jati. 5, will contain Hon. John D.

The engage ment is for the week and there will be a special matinee tomorrow, Monday, in addition to the Regular Wednesday and Saturday matiriees.

No late comers will be seated except in the regular intermissions. ,- , lt The sweeping -success of "Cyiano," from the date of iis very first per formance in Paris (Christmas week a year ago), and its subsequent triumph ill this country when produced in New lork city, has called forth columns of commendatory criticism from the best Judges of the drama. The following, taken from Lyman B. Glover's com ments on the play a few weeks ago in the Chicago Times-Herald, will prove interesting reading, as Mr. Glover has the reputation of being one of the most accomplished, of American ' dramatic critics: "No daintier or more beautiful love theme has been placed upon the stage since Shakespeare wrote the tragic Btory of Capulet's daughter and the Impetuous Romeo, and while the imag inative methods and poetic license of Rostand's play are wide apart as the poles from the Shakespearean manner, those who love the Bard of Avon will experience no difficulty in finding beauty, inspiration and an exquisite dramatic ideal in this new drama, which has already captivated two con tinents. "There is not in all literature a more alluring example of self-sacrifice than that of Cyrano in his faithful adher ence to an ideal that impoverishes his own life in order to promote the hap piness of the woman he loves. But, even in this most pathetic story of sacrifice, there is not one note of sick ly sentiment. The hero disguises his heart wounds with a quaint humor that is irresistible, and, with a sev enteenth-century swing and swagger altogether captivating, maintains a bold and chivalric' front, even when the crushing certainty of defeat, de spair and death confronts him. "The last scene of all in this event ful history is almost unexapled in its quiet pathos and intensity. Cavalier to the end, Cyrano,, with words of love dying on his lips, struggles to his feet, and, with sword in hand, flames out in a splendid death song. So touching an apotheosis of a great play, carried to the ultimate bciur.ds of eloquence by the art of Mansfield, Is an episode which can never fade out of memory Other plays have left us in their debt for scenes that- will be remembered, some of them massive and tragic be yond anything that Rostand will ever attempt, but it may be doubted wheth er the peculiar manner and touching pathos of Cyrano's last moments have ever been surpassed in kind." Mr. Wilson Enos, who has done such good work in several of the Woodward productions, will play the title role in "Cyrano," with Mr. Montague as Christian and Miss Creighton as Rox ane. The appended cast of charac ters will give some idea of the num ber of people required in the play, al though it does not include a small army of ladies and gentlemen who will represent the several types of peo ple whose connection with the play is so slight that there is no necessity of putting their names! on the pro gramme.

It Will Be Mils Week'a Bill at tbe Grand. Never In Its entire history has the Grand opera house enjoyed a greater measure of popularity than the present season. Its audiences have been uni formly large, and the clientele of this new play house has constantly improv ed until it is now made up of the best class of representative theater-goers. The bookings have been excellent in character, which fact has aided in bringing about such suc2essful atten dance. New Year's week, at this play house t will be given over to the best event of an operatic character that has I graced the boards of any theater in this city this season — Sousa's "El Cap itan," which when last seen here creat ed a more than favorable impression. The engagement opens with a perform ance tonight at 8:15, and will include a special New Year's matinee perform ance tomorrow. "El Capitan" is an American triumph, musically the greatest opera I in the line of typical American music I ever orchestrated. It reflects the mar tial temperament of the American na ture as no other pretentious comic opera work has ever attempted, and for this inspiring gift America has to I thank Sousa, truly styled the "March King." Charles Klein's story in the I libretto, constructed for laughing pur poses only, furnished Sousa the oppor tunity of his life. The story of "El Capitan" deals with ; a cowardly viceroy of Peru, one Don | Medigua, who, for reasons of prudence, I does net permit himself to be seen, all I his official duties being performed by ! his chamberlian, Pozzo. His rule gives | great dissatisfaction, and there is a conspiracy to overthrow him. He de | termines to fly, and to assume the j character of a famous warrior of shady I reputation, who is known as "El Capi i tan," but who is dead, unknown to all j except the viceroy. Clad in armor, ne , presently appears as the redoubtable soldier, and blusters his way into favor ; of the conspirators, whose leader he be ■ comes. In the meanwhile he causes the '. chamberlain to take on himself the j identity of the viceroy, and this un- I fortunate is loaded with chains and imprisoned, and in order that he may [ not betray Don Medigua he,_is kept gagged. From this moment the troubles of Medigua multiply. Estrelda, daughter of the ex-viceroy, Don Caiaf ro, has fallen in love with El Capitan through hearing of his bravery and his achievements in war. When she sees the representative of her hero she makes knevm the state of her heart towards him, and. her father consent ins, she is bethrolhed to Medigua, who, having a wife already, is thrown into an agony of perplexity, but he dare not make known the truth. His wife, of course: appears at a critical moment to add to his woes, but at last the tan gle is undone and all ends happily, not, however, before the girl is disillusioned, and pairs off with a young soldier, whose heart she has captured. This performance is provided with a i gorgeous scenic mounting, prepared by Ernest H. Gros, while magnificent cos tumes, dresses and draperies have been created by Dazian-, the New York cos | turner. The company comprises Tich well known artists as William C. Man i deville, Kate Michelena, Madeline Lack Nera Rosa, Emma Miller, Ed ward' P. Wilkes, Frederick Knights, John Dunsmure, Harry Carter, Karl Formes and J. Coulter Hynes, and a large chorus. "MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN." Henrietta Grossman, a Local Favor ite, Promised in the Cast.

The issue also con tains a very Interesting account of "Cats of High Degree," that gfves much information in relation to the history and training of cats in the higher walks of life. Marrion Wilcox contributes a careful review of Sav age Landor's notable book of travels, "In the Forbidden Land," published by Harper & Bros. There Is a timely discussion of "Art In Needle Work," and a very Interesting paper under the title, "One Feature of Lon don Life." McClure's Magazine for January, in two articles on the Lake submarine boat, gives Its readers the double Bensation of inspect ing a really new and extraordinary invention and of following an equally new and extra ordinary adventure. No man, since the day* of Jonah, has made a more curious voyage than that which Mr. Ray Stannard Baker de scribes as taken by himself and the artist, W. D. Stevens, in the Lake boat; and since the creation of Jonah's whale, no more curi ous craft than the Lake boat, as Mr. Lake himself sets forth it 3 principles, powers and possibilities, has been constructed. The boat drops down to the bottom of the sea, and I there traverses the ground precisely like an ' automobile road wagon; and from it diver 3 step out through a door on the sea bottom, as they might step out of a house into a garden, and go spading and hoeing among wrecks. Pictures drawn by Mr. Stevens from life illustrate the articles. Capt. Mahan de scribes and compares the naval and military conditions of ourselves and Spain at the out break of the recent war; Stephen Bonsai gives some more fine stories from his own experi ence in the fight for Santiago; and Mr. Ham lin Garland tells a fine true Indian story in the veritable words of Rising Wolf, the Ghost Dancer. Another of Mr. Kipling's stories of school-boy life and several other stories make the number very interesting also on the side of fiction. Amutements^ CAMBRIDGE HALL. Seventh fft. bet.
