THE TRIB UNES SPECIAL ARTICLEa

1t is expected by newspapers readers tnat
il shall know something about everything anu
certainly it would be indiscreet, to say the least
of it, to profess smaller stock OF wisdom IMAM
is generally demanded and conceded but 1t Is
safe to admit that there exist some persons not
10 be classed as newspaper writers, whose IN
formation upon especial subjects is unique and
abundant There is a great and natural curl
osity among all classes of people to learn the
results which distinguished men and women
have arrived at in those departments of human
affairs wherein they have gained their dis
tinction There is always particular ntheSs
between a great man and his occupation lie
must have loved his work to have achieved
signal reputation from his doing OF it, and 1t is
always exceedingly interesting to hear from
his own tongue or to learn from his own pen
what he most values as the lessons OF his ex-
ceptona experience.
THE TRIBUNE proposes during the coming
year, in a form and degree that will be strlk-
ing, to crafty this curiosity. 1t has arranged

and women who are prominent in the affairs
of to- day, who have stories peculiarly their

and of the writers who will discuss them would
he to print a large catalogue OF questions ana
affairs of immediate and general concern with
the names of many OF our most conspicuous
men and women. A few however, will be
enough to illustrate the character OF the series
and of those who will contribute to it.
The first which viii appear in next weeks is
sue of THE SUNDAY TRIBUNE Will treat
of 'How Fortunes Are Made" 1t will be written
by Mr. Erastus Wiman. who has not only made

who is irving to make one 1t will be found to
be an exceedingly clever analysis OF the meth
DDS employed in the successful business vent
ures of to-day. 1.-THE Colored Race in Ameri-
ca" its present position and ultimate destiny,
will receive the attention of Judge Tourgee
from one point of view, and of Mr.. George w.

humble trials of country clergymen, and DIR.
Paxton will tell of those met with in city
parishes. Henry W. Grady, the brilliant Editor
of "The Atlanta Constitution" had promised
to write one, but his untimely death will leave
a blank in the list which it will be hard to

interest practical in its relation to present sit
uatiOns, and general in the scope Of its review.
In all ways it will be series of articles well
worth reading
