Mr.. Howe,ls New Work.

The announcement that Mr.. Howells
will leave HdTpc-'s MdgIziHc, TO take
charge OF the Cosmopolitan, on March LIST,
csila sttantion To the procaEs OF butidtng
up OF the stan OF a great magazine.
Probably In no monthly has tue evolution
been so distinctly under the eyes OF the
public as In tue Cas q of the UsmUpOt { IA.
The first step after its editorial control
was assumed by MIR John Brisbcn Walker,
was to add 10 IL Edward Everett Haze, who
took charge of the department called So
clal Problems,h subjects concerning which
the greatest number OF peOpo are think
ing 10 day. MIR. Hale, who il a student a
fair minded man, thorough American
and man Of broad sympathics, has filed
the position In u way 20 attract tho atton-
tion not only Of this country, but OF lead
Ing European journals. Some months
later, a department was established called
"The Review Of Current Events" To
take charge OF this, man was needed
who should be familiar not only with the
great events OF the past thirty years, but
who knows personally the leading men of
both the United States and Europe who
could interpret motives and policies.
Murat Hastead accepted this position
with the distinct understanding that his
monthly review should bc philosophical
and never partisan. The next step In the
history OF the Cosmop0itf1i WAS the plac-
ing Of the review Of the intellectual move
ment of the month IN the hands OF MIR.
Brander Matthews, who for some time has
been recognized as one Of the two or three
ablest critics in the United States.
Finally came the acceptance OF the edi-
torship cojointly with Mr.. Walker, by MIR.
VIM Dean Howells. Mr.. Huwells, who Is
recognized universally as the foremost
American OF letters. upon the expiration OF
his contract with Harper Brothers, on the
first Of March will take In hand the dcs
tinles OF a magazine which promises 10
exercise share OF influence with tho
reading classes OF the United States. His
entire services will be given 10 the COsno
Boiifan, and everything be writes will APP
pear In that magazine during the continu-
nucs of his eiitorship.

The Horrors of The Slave Trade.

The African slave trade is yet carried on
TO such an extent that thousand lives are
sacrificed every day in the year. Indeed
IL is doubtful whether in the most barbar-
Gus periods of human history there has
been any greater blroirity than tho A Afri-
can slave trade OF 10 day. For years there
has been constant agitation in Europe for
the civilized governments TO unite in some
action to suppress 1t. The result Of long
deliberations was the Treaty Of Brussels,
which every leading European power ex-
cept France has now signed and France
and tho United States are the only two
important powers which have not yet
anixed their signatures to It, The treaty
cannot go into effect except by tho ratifi-
cation OF all the civilized governments, and
II II 10 into effect there Is every reason 10
believe that very much Of the slave trade
will be abatcl. The Treaty Of Brussels is
now before the Senate Of the United States
and an explanation of Its benefits and of
our duty In the matter is made In the Jan
uary number Of The Forum by Judge
Lambert Tree, late minister To Belgium.

Died IN A HOTEL.

Captain G. C. Mabou, Chief Government
Gauger, Dies After Brief nlness-A
Post Mortem Shows Fatty Degenera-
ton of the Heart - Taken Home for
Burial.
Captain G. G. Mabou, chief government
gauger, stationed In this city, died suddenly
at the Hotel Albion yesterday morning.
Fatty degeneration of the hesrt was the
cause. Captain Mabou was 60 years
of age and his home IS at
New Florence, Pa The body
will be taken there for burial to-day. A
wife and two sons residing at New Florence
survive the genial officer. He was a promi-
nent member of the Masonic fraternity and
was connected with q number of other
organizations, besides having hosts OF
friends all over Western Pennsylvania.
For several months Captain Mabon has
been away from home nearly all the time,
travelling through this revenue district. On
Monday he reached the city after week
spent up In the vicinity Of Uniontown.
When he reached the hotel he complained
of bowel trouble, saying he had suffered
from it more or less for nearly a year. A
remedy was suggested by the clerk and
the captain promised to try it. On Friday
afternoon he went to his room and remained
there until his death.
Yesterday morning the porter went to his
room and found the captain rolling on the
floor in an agony of pain. He was put to
bed and Dr. McCann summoned, but five
minutes before the doctor reached him
death had'come.
The Coroner was notified and the body was
removed to the morgue. 1t was at first
supposed that death had resulted from
cholera morbus but post mortem exami-
nation showed that fatty degeneration of
the heart was the cause
