JACK CURZON.

HE forthcoming novel by ARCHIBALD CLAVERING GUNTER, author of "Mr. Barnes of New York" and other well-known books, is probably the most striking yet written by the pen of the most original author of this decade.

The field of the work is practically a new one for fiction, much of the action of the story taking place in Manila and the interior of Luzon, beginning at the outbreak of the first rebellion of Aguinaldo and the Katipunan, and ending upon the surrender of Manila to the Americans under Dewey and Merritt.

The story deals chiefly with the fate of two young ladies, the daughters of an expatriated American sea-captain, who has given up his nationality to become a subject of Spain, in order to hold some very valuable tobacco plantations in the Philippines that have come to him from his wife, a Spanish heiress of Nueva Ecija.

Connected with this is the effort of the Germans to obtain a foothold in the Philippine Islands, and the curious fate of one of them, a Prussian merchant, Herr Adolph Ludenbaum, who goes too far in his love for Germany, as well as for one of the beautiful semi-American young ladies.

The situations in the two chapters entitled "Wedded by Decree" and "Divorce by Court-Martial" have probably not their equal in originality in any novel of this century, showing, as they do, the power of the most infamous tribunal of modern days, the Supreme Court of Manila, and how Captain Roberto Chaco, of the Voluntarios, a bloodthirsty Spanish patriot, slapped the law straight in the face when it dared to decree the woman he adored to the arms of another.

Intimately connected with these events are the adventures of the Englishman of commerce, Jack Curzon, and the American naval officer, Phil Marston, in their efforts to obtain, in spite of Spanish power, the two young ladies who are affianced to them.

The peculiar novelty of the plot, diversified as it is by the devotion of the wild Tagal insurgent, Ata Tonga, and combined with a series of wonderfully graphic and accurate pictures of life in Hong Kong, Manila, and the interior of Luzon, should tend to give this book an extraordinary vogue with all Americans who care for the manifest destiny of their country, as well as with the general reader in search of a story of tremendous interest and great instruction.

A. M. ROBERTSON, 126 Post Street, San Francisco, Cal., has published, in an edition limited to 750 copies, "Ten Drawings in Chinatown," by Ernest C. Peixotto, with explanatory text by Robert Howe Fletcher, an attractive folio, with the drawings separate, mounted on stiff cardboard ($3.50). Mr. Robertson has also published for the holidays "The Boys of '98 Calendar" for 1899, with seven strong and characteristic drawings of the present-day American soldier, by Gordon Ross; and the "Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah Stanford' Calendar for 1899," with drawings of the Western college girl, by Blanche Letcher. The calendars retail for $1 each.

E. P. DUTTON & Co. offer for the coming season their usual quantity of valentines, always sure of a quick and profitable sale. They are all made at the celebrated manufactory of Ernest Nister, of Nüremberg, and are of the same high quality as all the previous work of this world-renowned house. These pretty love-tokens range in price from 45 cents to 11⁄2 cents, and, big or little, at every price, show the same tasteful designs and the same attention to details of printing. One of the newest is "Love's Minuet Novelty," a mechanical floral figure of children dancing the minuet. There are folding novelties, including almost every kind of flower and animal, and the name under which the little god Cupid figures is legion. It cannot be that valentines are out of date, for no such supply of such pretty valentines would have been fashioned except to meet a very sure demand.

They will publish shortly a new edition of Lilian Whiting's poems, From Dreamland Sent," with additional verse; Jeremiah Curtin's new book, 'Creation Myths of Primitive America in Relation to the Religious History and Mental Development of Mankind," an important contri

WILLIAM DOXEY, San Francisco, Cal., has published in uniform style a reprint of "The Purple Cow," by Gelett Burgess, and "The Lark Almanac for 1899," with familiar designs by the same hand taken from The Lark.
