change in Every Saturday is the result of a con-
ference between Harper & Brothers and J. K.
OsgOod & Co.. which has resulted as already an

MIN oh nth
with foreign authors and publishers These two
great houses have wagcd a rulnous war upon
each other for the past two or three years, and
now it Is generally understood that they have
done fighting, have shaken hands and are
friends. Every Saturday cost its publishers

Boston house is the hole in their purse created
by the Every Saturday venture with the New
Workers money.

probably be still another trial of the breech-
leaders before decision is announced, which
will not be for some time vet.

Of DR.. X. are inferred The disposition Of the
body was resisted by the housckeeper of DR.. Kel-
ley, who, in petition for an injunction, claims
that she is a creditor 10 an amount equal TO the
whole estate Of DR.. X, and that the removal of
