T h is appreciatioi >f Gabriele D ’An nunzio, the great Italian writer, is con densed from “Critical Studies,” a set o f essays by Ouida, published hy Cas sell & Co. The mind of D ’Annunzio refuses all bondage. It ts a law to itself, as the mind of the great writer should be.’ I im agine that the opinion o f him held by others is to him of the m o st abso lute unimportance. H is teaching is alw a y s to preserve the independence of the ego, to live w ithout attention to form u la or usage, to be, both m a te rially and spiritually, that w h ieh w e were created to be by nature. H e is disposed to adinix-e w h a t is strong sim p ly because i t Is strong, for getful that sueh strength is sustained and nourished by the suffering of the weak. It is true that he has lived in an atm osphere in which the verities embodied in the aspirations, abortive, but alw a y s noble, of the higher efforts of revolution have been received with fear and misunderstanding. This son of Italy is a great writer, a great p o e t Read his works in the original tex t all y e w h o can, m en and women, for whom life has no secrets and truth has no terror. Genius, like the river a t its source, takes the color of the earth it springs from. It is only w h en it has reached its full volume, its deepest currents, that i t becomes clear and reflects the sk)' alone. L et us hope that such a future aw a its him, and that more and fu lly w ill he realize w h a t he has al ready said ,n noble words; “Art! H ere is the one faithful pas sion ever youthful, uay, immortal; here is the fountain of pure joy un known to the m u ltitude; here is the divine food whieh makes m en like to gods. H o w could he have stooped to drink at other cups when he had once tasted of this? “H o w could he have bent to taste of other joys, once having know n this ecstasy? H o w conld his senses have let them selves be weakened and de based to low e s t lusts w h en they had onee been stirred to that highest sen sibility which beholds the invisible, which touches the impalpable, whieh divines the most hidden secrets in the heart of nature?” W ith these words, which are the greatest in meaning that he has hither to written, I w ill for the present mo ment take my leave of him. A TALK W ITH SCHLEY. Admiral Tells of an Incident Con nected With the Santiago Fight. In discussing the Sampson-Sehley controversy a citizen of Altoona, Pa., rays that he m et Schley shortly after he w a s relieved of the command of the squadron. Schley w a s on his way westward as a passenger on the Penn sylvania limited. The conversation as r. lated by the Altoona man ran thus, says the Philadelphia Press: “Admiral, \vha+ w ere your first words when yon saw the Spanish ships com ing out of the harbor of Santiago?” “My first words when I saw them leaving the entrance to the harbor were, ‘Either they w ill go down or I do.’ \ “W ell, tell me, admiral, w h a t w a s your first thought w h en the fight w a s over.” “Friend,” replied the admiral, “the first thought that cam e to my mind after the fight w a s a little incident that occurred ju s t as the squadron w a s leav ing Ham p ton Roads. There w a s an old lady from near m y hom e on my vessel, and her son w a s am ong the crew. 1 had known the fam ily for years. She cam e to me and asked me to take care of her boy, and w h en she w a s leaving the vessel, after I had assured her that 1 would see to her son, she took my hand and kissed it, saying, ‘Admiral, wherever you go the prayers of the American wom en w ill be w ith you.’ That incident w a s the first thing that cam e to my mind after the fight, and 1 tell you tbat I believe the prayers of the American wom en had much to do with the w inning o f thq fight.” H e also said that he w a s not the one to praise. The praise should go to his men.

The entire right of w a y o f -the Illi nois Central railroad in Chicago and as far into the suburban districts a s Matteson, 28 m iles from the Park R o w station, will soon be lighted at night so that the roadway w ill be alm o st as light as day, says the N e w York Post. T h e c o m p a n y h a s j u s t f i n i s h e d b u i l d i n g a big electric plant for the purpose, and its capacity is sufficient to furnish pow er for lighting all the tracks, stations and yards for a distance of 30 m iles. The plant is said to be one o f the lar gest and m o st com plete In the country. The w ires for the lighting are laid in cables in stoneware conduits under ground. So far 16,270 feet of this un derground conduit has been laid. T h is w ill furnish light for the big station a t T w e lfth street and other stations and the right of w a y between Randolph street and Burnside. AU stations w ill be illum inated with Incandescent lam p s_ aud the platform s and tracks w ith are lights. In addition to tbe illum ination of sta tions and right of w a y the various freight houses down and up town and the express warehouses and the shops of the com pany w ill be lighted. So far the wired capacity of the substitution is 7 , 0 <>) 16 c a n d le p o w e r in c a n d e s c e n t lamps and 200 are lights. Pow er w ill also be funrshed to operate tbe com pany's laundry, for running the three big passenger elevators In the Park Row station and for charging storage batteries of private ears. A t present tlie power p l a n t is t a x e d o n ly l o ,'ibout oO per cent of its capacity. I t Is said that when operated to its fu n strength there will be 14,000 incandescents ajHT boo arc lights in use between Randolph street and Matteson, m a k ing this the best lighted right of w a y in the world. A gigantic transalaskan project is to In undertaken by French, Russian and American capitalists w ithin the next frw years, according to plans outlined the other day by L>. Delobel, the French ' m ining engineer, who left Paris July 13 ai»*.l started north on the steam er Dol phin. Deli bei says, according to a dispatch from Tacoma to the St. Louis Republic, that plans are being formed to organ ize a company having a capital stock o f $ 2 (i(t.Uitn, 0 (tft. This company w ill buil*| nearly 4.<M* miles of raiiroad beside*, spanning Bering sea w ith im m ense steam ferries. T h e com pany is to have the baiking of influential bankers in Paris, >h. Petersburg. M oscow and New York. Tbe United States govern ment wili be asked for a land grant in the Yukon country. On his return from Alaska Delobel w ill v isit W a shington and confer v*th President M cKinley on the subject. The proposed railroad is to start in Circle City am i run 2,000 m iles to Be ring sea, follow ing a northerly course which w ill evade low lands in the Yu kon estuary. From the Siberian coast to Vladivostok 1,800 miles o f road Will be required. The ferries are to be large enough to transport loaded trains, m aking it possible to go from Circle City to Moscow and Paris by railroad. Since the grand jury began investi gating the Park avenue tunnel the N e w Y o r k Central railroad officials have been unusually active, and sw eep ing orders have been issued to the con ductors and trainmen to do everything in their power to relieve the bad condi tions w h ile the trains are passing through thewjsubway, says a W h ite Plains (N. Y.) dispatch to the N e w York Sun. The H a rlem railroad bas issued a notice through Trainm aster Van T a s s e l which now keeps the trainm en busy and m eans an improvem ent in their service for the benefit of tb e commut ers. Among its many provisions are the fo l l o w i n g : “Special attention m u st be given to ventilation. W h ile car* *r* standing in Grand Central stattou dow s must be opened and gas tamea down to. low e st point. Gas when used in tunnel m u st be at half p ressure only.
